Safari NOT LOADING ANY WEBPAGES...PLEASE HELP!!

Hey Everyone,
I’ve been having a huge problem with my safari browser ever since I got it installed onto my windows XP OS. On starting up the application, safari JUST WON’T LOAD ANY WEBPAGES. I’ve only managed to get it to load pages a few times after much struggle and this usually succeeds immediately after restarting the computer. And the other weird thing is, once fired up, it won’t fail to load any web pages until you close the browser. The other fault is that the browser keeps crushing once you mingle around with its buttons in attempt to get it to load the webpages.
I have tried to google whether people have had similar problems with the browser but none fits into my problem. I would love for anyone to offer me any guidance on what to do next after all the below attempts to fix the problem failed;-
-Re-installing Safari several times.
-The same problem occurs on my Windows Vista Notebook.
-can’t seem to find a facility to change the port number.
PLEASE HELP!

In Vista, Safari personal prefs and such are stored in the hidden user folder "AppData" in subfolders Local and Roaming, under "Apple" folders.
Clean out (move or something) and let Safari start fresh, which should solve the issue.
Not sure where XP stores files.

  • Safari not loading any webpages after 10.7.3 update.

    I did the update through software update, and I saw a lot of people having errors with that, but i did not get the cui error, my only issue is safari stopped loading any webpages.
    If I try to enter an address in the bar and hit enter, it just beachballs, and than nothing happens, before it used to just keep trying to load it.
    I than downloaded the combo updater, opened the dmg, and installed over it, restarted and same issue
    Prior to the combo update I repaired any file permissions as well.
    How do I get safari to work properly again?
    I even uninstalled the clicktoflash extension.
    TIA.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes click Reset.
    If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file form the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If pages load, move that .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
    See if that helps. If not, go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab. Deslect:  Enable plug ins
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If Safari loads pages, then you need to troublleshoot Safari add ons >  Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues'
    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that. And turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. See if that helps.

    My safari will not upload any website please help.

    You may have more than one issue, but the most important one is that your internal hard drive is failing, or there is some other hardware fault.
    Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.

  • Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

    Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

    cor-el,
    I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
    Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
    Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
    Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

  • Safari will not load any webpage. Have reinstalled several times.

    I have not been able to use Safari on my PC for some time. I have reinstalled several times, and completely removed safari and installed new several times. It will not load any page.

    Many thanks.
    Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

  • Firefox 3.6.15 will not load any webpages--BLANK PAGE only!

    I just upgraded my Firefox to 3.6.15 yesterday, and upon restarting the browser, it does not load the homepage...or any other page for that matter. It loads a blank white screen even though the address bar has the proper web address. It will do this no matter what webpage you load.
    I have updated my Java applet and Flash to the most current versions and this did not seem to help either.

    I had already tried a reinstall before, but thanks for the suggestion. Starting FF in Safe mode did not help either.
    XULRunner is specific to FF. Mostly found discussion about using the code in web pages when I used Google before posting.
    When FF went from version 3.6.14 to version 3.6.15 this issue started. Please note the Error message and the version info I just mentioned.
    '''"Platform version '1.9.2.15' is not compatible with minVersion > =1.9.2.14 maxVersion < = 1.9.2.14"'''
    '''The Platform was revved up from 1.9.2.14 to1.9.2.15'''
    I could not find information on: minVersion or maxVersion much less how to change them in XULRunner.
    '''''It is definitely a Mozilla FF issue'''''.
    Avast sandbox is up to date and works just fine with everything else. More importantly it worked just before the update was installed.
    The only reason I bothered with the update is because Mozilla touted it as a security issue and there was NO mention of any known issues with sandbox software.

  • Since July 24, 2010, firefox will not load any webpage. I uninstalled 3.6.8 and want to re-install 3.6.2. How can I do this?

    My updated firefox version will not work at all. I uninstalled it, and want to go back to my previous version which was always working. I have Microsoft Vista. Please help as soon as possible.
    == This happened ==

    This can be caused by a firewall blocking internet access to Firefox. See [[Firewalls]]. That link has a list of popular firewalls and how to configure them to work with Firefox.

  • One script not loading...please help.

    Hi,
    I am a CS 6 Premium - user and have now also used Adobe Story (the free version, considering the Pro - version) for a while - happily.
    - However, today - one script wouldn't open - it just keeps loading and loading and is never opened.  All the other scripts I have opened though, and they seem just fine.
    Nonetheless - This same script will open on my iphone - app (where I also made some notes, this I did not do on any of the other scripts - don't know if there is a correlation..).
    I am on a Macbook Pro and using Adobe Story in the Safari - browser.
    Would be very thankful for some help - a rather desparate situation.

    Thanks for great help from support team found here on this forum.
    File was quickly fixed, de - bugged, and sent to me by Ratnesh - so many thanks! I am breathing in a slightly different manner now.
    Problem was this: The script was unloadable after I had made comments on my Iphone (as far as I can understand - did some tests). These comments were not synced to my browser - project either. I hope this bug will be fixed.
    If any others have been able to do comments with their Iphones without any trouble like this, I should be curious to know how/why it works in other cases.
    - For now I am not making any comment to myself while on the go - other than dictation...:)
    Sincerely,
    Fred

  • Firefox does not load any webpages. Only shows "done" in corner. IE (64bit) works fine

    The firefox program loads fine. However it only shows "untitled" in the tab and "done" in the bottom corner. It does not show any error notifications. When I click a bookmark, or enter a URL into the location bar it makes not attempt to contact the server. In fact it appears to do nothing at all.
    I appreciate any help you can provide.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • The App Store is not loading.. Please Help

    Since I bought my mac pro back in 2011, I have never used the app store because it never loads.
    Now I really need it because I trying to download the Yosemite. Below is what I get every time I open the app store on my macbook pro.
    Please help fix this.

    Hi ..
    Several things to try.
    Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, MacKeeper, and anti virus software, can prevent the App Store from loading
    Disable anti virus software if installed
    Check the firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
    Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
    If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

    Hi Aparana.rahul,
    The beeps during the startup of your MacBook Pro indicate that it may need to be serviced. See this article for further information -
    OS X Mavericks: If you hear beeps when your computer starts up
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14206
    Note that while the article title says it is for computers running Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, the same information applies to other versions.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My Safari is not loading YouTube correctly, please help.

    Starting on January 15th, 2009, my Safari no longer loads Youtube.com correctly. The homepage looks bizarre, and not like it should. The other links on the page all have similar issues. I have below two screenshots to help visualize what I am trying to describe:
    http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/Mezamete/Picture1.png
    http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/Mezamete/Picture1-1.png
    This is with Safari version 2.0.4 (419.3)
    Flash player is freshly updated, if anyone is curious about that.
    I would love to be able to use Safari again to view my youtube. As it is, I can see it just fine in Firefox.

    Hi,
    Have you tried resetting Safari? You can do this via Safari menu > Reset Safari...
    Also, is there a reason why you aren't running the latest versions of OS X and Safari? OS X 10.4.11 comes with Safari 3, and the latest updates to 10.4.11 now take Safari up to 3.2.1. The latest versions can be obtained by running System Preferences > Software Update

  • New safari update (5.1.2) for windows does not load any webpage. i can open safari but nothing happens.

    why wont it load?

    Try this:
    Bring up the Windows Task Manager.
    Look for a process called: "WebKit2WebProcess.exe" and there may be a *32 after the name.
    Now Look for a "Safari" process, there may be multiple instances, but the primary instance will be identified by the significantly more memory that it uses.
    Kill both processes.
    The Kill order may be important.
    If the WebKit process is running alone kill that first, and try to relaunch Safari.
    If a Safari process(s) is running, Kill the primary instance, The WebKit process should also go away but if not Kill WebKit too.
    It may take more that one launch attempt to clear the memory.
    Further,, you will likely have to do this at each Safari launch because these processes become unstable after short use - until Apple fixes this bug.

    Ps: I have no issues what so ever on Lion, just Windows 7

  • Installed Firefox 3.6.6 and I could not load any webpages even the home page

    When I opened Firefox and went to the error console I was getting a bunch of messages. This is one of the messages.
    Error: Permission denied for (document.domain has not been set) to call method Location.toString on (document.domain=).
    If I could please get assistance with stopping these messages I would appreciate it.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == After I closed and reopened Firefox after installing 3.6.6 update

    Well, this is kinda a generic solution of yours, cor-el. As I expected, disabling addons and entering safe mode doesn't solve the problem.
    This is a more or less wild guess: it seems the problem is with the couple '''newest Firefox + newest Flash update'''. I don't know who causes the problem, but the searches I made seems to also refer to Flash. As I have updated both recently, I cannot isolate one or another right now.
    In some web page, it seems that all of those who provide Flash content should make a change to their crossdomain.xml files. As I'm just the client, I don't see a workaround right now.
    My workaround right now: installed '''IE View Lite''' extension, and open these pages in Internet Explorer or whatever browser might work as expected.
    Will be more than happy if there's any available workaround for Firefox itself.
    When will those flash content pages finally reach the HTML5 nirvana? :-(
