Safari not always loading pages (especially yahoo mail)

Inconsistent loading of pages, like Yahoo mail, ESPN. Some days they load, some days they don't, while other sites load fine. As a relatively new Mac user, thought it may have been a Mac issue but after discussing with friend and in-law, who both have Macs and can load very site, all the time, well, I'm not so sure anymore.
Suggestions? Tips?
We love our iMac. Used happily by whole family but internet/Safari issue is frustrating. Running Leopard, internet is wireless.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Safari not always loading sites

been having trouble lately with safari opening sites. it will load without any problems or delays for about 3 or 4 sites, then will stop loading and i have to force quit. It will try to load the page/site, but never gets there. won't even respond to quitting. I end up having to force quit.

I cannot open my Yahoo Mail but everything else is OK. When I click Yahoo Mail Icon, I get this error message "Safari Cannot open this page. Safari can not establish secure connection with Yahoo Mail.

It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari.

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari, cache and also changed my Yahoo password but problem is still there.

I still don't understand what the problem that you are experiencing is. If you get to a page where yahoo is asking JUST for your password, and there is no box for username (it may have your username displayed, but not in a enter box), then you ARE "being kept signed in" You can verify this by instead of entering your password, go to www.yahoo.com home page, and it will say something like "Hi, Amber" This means you ARE signed in.
When you get that page asking for just your password, you are NOT being asked to sign in again. You are simply being asked to verify/enter your assword an Nth time. If you get that page right after entering your username and password, try clicking the "back" (previous page) button. It might just go to your inbox.
If this is the case, your problem has nothing to do with being kept signed in or not, the problem is that for some (unknown to me) reason, yahoo is asking you to re-enter your password, kind of like when your mac asks for your mac password when changing system settings. Yahoo does this as a safety feature when you go to account settings, and apparently abritary other times. I wish I understood just why I get it every time after signing in.
It could be because I have java turned off. It could be because I don't accept third party cookies. Maybe a cache file. Or a hundred other things... I don't know. It could simply be yahoo is scrooing safari users. I have glanced at the html, but to really understand it, it would take me days. There are over 25 places where username and password are in the html "source" code of the yahoo login page, and even understanding that may not tell me. In the past, I have seen code essentiall saying "if IE x.3.2" do this, if chrome do that, if mozilla do something else, otherwise make it next to impossible...."
My problem is not only I get asked for my assword a second time, but also (and only very recently) I do not get a prompt to save username and pasword. I have gone to yahoo help pages to try to figure it out, and I feel like I just run in circles. If one wants to send a question in, they have to answer half a dozen questions disclosing private information. And I pay yahoo $20/year. grrr
If when you are trying to access your yahoo mail and you are being asked to enter both your username and password, but didn't sign out of yahoo, then indeed your are not being "kept signed in"

Webpages do not always load 1st attempt after exch...

I bought a new TP Link Router & dual aerial wireless USB adapters to solve my line speed issues as the old BT Home hub 1.5 cannot handle the new exchange.
http://www.shop.bt.com/products/tp-link-300mbps-wireless-n-adsl-router-77S0.html
Now some websites need to be either clicked twice or ctrl+F5 to refresh the page as it does not always load the first time which is weird also getting random disconnects which do not last long then it auto reconnects!
Please does anyone have any advice for me on what to look at I am now plugged direct into the BT master socket & using wirelsss but even using wired its the same issue.
Download speeds are around 1.3Mb up are around 1mb. Still in the line learning phase as its only been 5 days since I plugged this new Router in could it just be natural for that to take longer to stabilise???

I am surprised as all variants of the Hub are compatible with Bt BB (with the exception of Infinity)

Safari not opening .asp pages

safari not opening .asp pages
i am running safari 6.0.5

I can't test because I don't have a login, but you can try the following.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

Safari not opening any page--blank page!!

Whatever the website address I type in Safari (including www.yahoo.com, www.cnn.com), Safari opens a blank page and does not display ANYTHING. Any idea why? Up to now it has worked well.
Thanks

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Safari won't load pages, but internet connection is good

For the past 24 hours, whenever I try to reply to an e-mail, or create a new one, mail suddenly crashed. It is very reliable in this way; there are no exceptions. The the newest update/change to my configuration was the update of the 10.4.4 system stuff from Apple, followed a few days later by an update for the 15 in G4 Powerbook battery management.
Also, though not related to mail, the Software Update function does not work - "Can't connect to Update Server", and Safari will not load any pages - "CAn't connect to server...". However, Network Diagnostics says that I am connected to the internet, as does Firefox - it loads pages just fine! All other computers in our home network, including my G5 Tower, are performing and access the internet just fine.

Bump
Could this have something to do with the Software Update error discussed in OS X system board? Various sites are off-limits (Network timeout error) such as E-bay; Microsoft etc. while others work fine.
Tried a full re-install etc but nothing - no non Apple apps, clean 10.4.3; purged, repaired etc etc

Safari now slow loading pages from Apple!

This is an add on from a future post today with this problem. Safari slow loading pages, NOW even slow loading Apple pages here on the discussion board.

Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Safari 6.0.2 problems with Yahoo Mail Classic "Compose"

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have had two problems using Yahoo Mail “Classic” in Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).
First when composing a new message, the Formatting Toolbar is missing.
Second, contacts do not appear as I type in the To:/Cc:/Bcc: address sections of a message, nor does the address book if I click on To:/Cc:/Bcc:
All Yahoo Mail features work correctly with Firefox & Chrome, it seems as though Safari is the only browser with an issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance.
Mick

Others have reported the same issue:
Mountain Lion/Safari 6 doesn't work...: Apple Support Communities
There's a chance you might be able to get it to work by enabling the Develop menu in Safari's Advanced preferences, then selecting Develop > Disable Site-specific Hacks. I don't recommend it, though. Just use another browser for that site.

Safari doesn't load pages first time?

Hi
I am having a problem with Safari both on my Macbook Pro (2008) and Mac Mini (2011). The Macbook is running Snow Leopard and the Mini running Lion.
When I boot my computers up and open Safari web pages tend not to load first time and to get them to load I have to go to another site then back to the one I was trying to get on. E.g - I click on my Facebook bookmark but it doen't load so I then have to click another bookmark such as Amazon which loads but then I click Facebook again and it loads! Its only started happening recently but I just cant work it out. My systems are fully up to date etc and my broadband connection is working fine.
If anybody could help, would be great!

Safari won't load pages

I'm running 4.0.5 and off and on over the last few months it would just stop loading pages. I have it open up to the thumbnail view of the top sites and whether I would click on one of those or click on a site in the bookmark bar, it just shows it thinking. It doesn't freeze, I don't get the beach ball, it just doesn't load the page. As I mentioned, it has done this off and on for the last several months but it usually fixed itself if I let it sit for a few minutes. Over the last two days, it doesn't matter how long I leave it sit while trying to load a page, it just doesn't work.
Ideas?

Welcome to the forums!
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit. Control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode)
Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

Not able to set up yahoo mail account : N8

I bought N8 just few days back.
I can able to set up Gmail account but not able to set up yahoo account.
It shows error:
Unable to connect with information provided. Try again ...
Please help..

I think you require a plus account to download mail to an email client incl a mobile phone, saying that though last year if you're in the UK you could download Yahoo mail without a plus account & I still do even though the Yahoo help pages say I require a paid account.
It may be that your username & password are incorrect or the settings are,
Here's what I have:
pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk, port 995, SSL on.
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk port 465, SSL on.
Username is the usual - bit before the @.
Passwords might be case sensitive.
Hth,

Safari Not Diplaying Web Pages Properly

This has really been annoying me, and today I've tried everything to fix it...
For some reason Safari will not display web pages properly. The problem occurs in different ways, sometimes varying between page loads. The one example that illistrates the nature of the problem best is Apple's iPhone page.
I have a snapshot of what I see when I load the page in Safari.
http://img.torgo.org/offsite/other/safari_iphone.jpg
As you can see in this snapshot, the black background that is supposed to be part of the page is not displaying black. This is obvously indicating a bug as apposed to bad css/styling, as I would think Apple's most recently added web page would be the one page that should display properly.
This problem is not limitd to missing backgrounds (though it's one of the more regular issues). My own blog is not displaying all the text in the right color (the color is supposed to be white, but between reloads some to all of the text displays in black).
I've tried empting safari's cache, resetting safari, and deleting the com.apple.safari.plist file in my preferences folder, but none of these had any effect... Furthermore I've also tried using different user accounts, and as of now they ALL display this pattern...
The only thing I cannot seem to try is to boot into 'safe mode' and see if it still occurs. This is because I just learned if I hold the shift key down to do so without fail every time my system shuts off at about the time it usually switches from the apple screen to the loading progress bar screen, but that is obvously unrelated to the Safari issue.
I'm using Version 2.0.4 (419.3) on 10.4.8 intel core duo (origional MacBook)...
2.0 GHz MacBook (Black) w/512 MB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Bobby, sorry to hear of this.
Good that you tried this in another user, and with the same thing happening there, this lets us know you have a system wide issue.
Since safemode isn't working for you at the moment, try doing a PRAM reset and a PMU reset
PRAM - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
PMU - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
then try safemode...
if it's still doing the same thing, then I suggest you try an Archive/Install w/preserving users and network setting; this walks you through that - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
if it still doesn't work after that -
• back up all you files to an externald HD, CD/DVD, etc..
• boot to install disk 1
• launch disk utility
• partition the HD (you'll see it's ONE volume scheme) chnage it to like 4, partition it, then change it back to 1 and partition it then perform a clean install of OSX
if it doesn't work after that, there is a hardware issue, contact Apple

Safari can't load pages

Every time I wake my computer from sleep mode, Safari (and every other web browser, for that matter) takes a good 2 minutes to load a page. I'm connected to a solid Wi-Fi network, and I can access the internet through other apps (I can get email, for example), but I can't load anything through Safari. The loading bar moves across about a 10th of the way, but it stops there for a long time. I have to reload the page several times for it to load anything.
I have tried clearing the cache, disabling DNS prefetching, and even reinstalling OS X Mavericks, but nothing helps. I have parental controls enabled, but with no web filtering option, so I don't see why that would affect Safari. Any help wold be appreciated!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
