Safari Not Opening Certain Sites????

I am encountering some trouble with this new Safari set up. Most recent issue is, tried to open a site on my computer that worked yesterday. Contacted sites webmaster and they told me that Microsoft updated its internet browser and that if I don't have the correct settings on my brower, I will not be able to view the site. They told me to contact my ISP to have them walk me thru fixing the trouble. My ISP, verizon told me that this is not their issue but to contact Apple. I just want to know how I can view my website now? Firefox won't even work on it. It is just my work resume system and it does work at my office via a Microsoft Internet browser, just not with my Safari any more. I don't know what I need to do to fix this. Please help!

Yang, I appreciate the response. I tried your suggestion out and it didn't work. I keep getting this message:
The Web server you are attempting to reach has a list of IP addresses that are not allowed to access the Web site, and the IP address of your browsing computer is on this list.
Your IP address identifies your home network - or whatever network you are using to access the web. (That is, your home modem or router or your work modem or router.) This means that your location has been blocked from accessing this web site. I suppose this could be something automated by the web site you are trying to visit. It can also be done deliberately by the administrator of the web site. (Edit: One thought is that you might have been locked out due to having tried the wrong username and password too many times, or for some similar security issue.)
Trying to access the site via a different web browser isn't likely to change that, since it is your location ("your browsing computer") that is being blocked. The only thing you can do if that message is accurate is contact the IT people who manage your workplace's web site again, this time giving them that error message so they know that this is not a problem with your web browser or the Mac OS - it is a very specific problem due to your IP address being actively blocked by the server where the site is hosted.

Go step by step and test.
1. Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.

Safari not opening certain websites

When I try to open Facebook or Google I get the following error message:
Invalid URL
The requested URL "/", is invalid.
In addition, websites that normally come up pretty quickly seem to be taking an extremely long time to load.
To be sure that this isn't a problem with my internet provider I logged onto my craptastic Windows-based laptop and opened both Facebook and Google on it with Safari and these websites came right up and with no delay.
Anyone know wha the problem is and if there is a solution? And no, I have not yet upgraded to Mountain Lion yet as I am replacing my hard drive this afternoon and will upgrade after that.

If it happens again, try deleting the cache associated with Safari.
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Safari not opening certain webpages?

Hi Guys,
I have been unable to access certain web pages on this computer recently, the very same web pages open on my other computers but on my G5 (OS 10.3.9) they will not load any data. These include amazon and other well known websites.
Is there any reason for this? I know its a shot in the dark but it has only recently started doing this.
Thanks in advance.

OS10.3.9/ Safari 1.3.2 on MULTI_USER setup, works OK for "admin" user, other "general" user gets error message: Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa/wa/authenticate?cty=US&aff=consumer&l ang=en” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.mac.com”.
Fixing permissions and clearing cache did NOT solve "general" user's problem. User-specific problem, then. Which preference panes should I start chucking?

Safari not opening web sites or partly

All other internet devices can open pages no problem, For a long time i have been having trouble with Safari my main browser.
It either come up blanks , showing no server found . or like the picture, all the info missing Some tomes fox does this too but Chrome is fine. Safari just getting worse, I have cleaned and cleaned the catch. its still happens.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load 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.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
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 log in 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 Steps 1 and 2.

Safari not opening web sites

Within just the past week or so, I can no longer open many web sites using Safari. It gets about a third of the way and then just stops. The problem occurs with all different types of sites - including Facebook and BBC. I have tried clearing out the cache and resetting Safari. What is the problem? What can I do to fix it?

Safari not opening certain pages

Hey
Whenever I log onto my bank's website the web address appears in the window as if the page has loaded but the page onto which I typed my login remains on the screen and the whole page freezes as though I had not hit "continue". It happens more frequently by the day; today it happened when I tried to do a google search for App;e discussions. The page "loads" as far as the address window is concerned but the previous page remains on the screen .
I thought it was maybe a problem for the webmaster at my bank, but now I think it must be Safari.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

If you are using any non-Apple "anti-virus" software, uninstall it according to its instructions and do not reinstall it.
There are a variety of other potential reasons for that message. First try restarting your Mac in "Safe Mode" (see below). Attempt to load the same webpage again. If that works it will reduce the number of potential causes.
Determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

Safari does not open some sites

Since last one year Safari has not been opening certain sites, so had to load Google Chrome as a back up.
Recently bought a new Macbook, and got an upgrade of OS X to Yosemite. Thought now the problem is going
to be over but disappointed that even the latest software has not cleared the issue. Have tried some of things that
are suggested in the forums, but so far no foolproof solution. So wondering whether have to resort again to Google chrome

It sounds to me that you are experiencing the "unexpectedly losing connection" error that doesn't allow web pages (even some of Apple's pages) to load. I'm experiencing the same thing and after clearing out my website data and turning off extensions and a host of other attempts to fix, I still get the same issue.
I've switched over to Chrome for now after using Safari from the very beginning until I see an update that fixes it.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I have ipad with IOS 7, Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

I have ipad with IOS 7, Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

Try this and see if it helps.
Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and data.
Now close Safari completely. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then "swipe up" or "drag up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

SAFARI DOES NOT OPEN CERTAIN WEBPAGES, INSTEAD DOWNLOADS ASPX EXTENSIONFILE

Safari doesnot open certain webpages, instead it downloads a file with .ASPX extension.
I opened the Mac in safeboot and run Disk Utility and repaired Disk permissions under it. In safe boot, safari (or other) browser opens all the webpages very well, but when I open the system in normal mode, again .aspx issue appears.
I am getting so upset with the system. Can you please help me?
Thank you in advance

We had this problem on a few websites over here and in our case the administrators of the pages had to make some changes to the pages to make them Safari compatible.
A workaround we used in the meantime was to set Acrobat to open aspx files using the finders Get Info window.
Then we set Firefox as the default browser.
Then when we clicked on ASPX links the files downloaded to the disk and when we double clicked them in Firefoxes downloads window they opened in a PDF window inside Firefox.
I hope you get what I'm talking about.

Hi Again macyue!
Rachel R posted:
"...there's also a chance that your failed installation of Tiger and return to Panther has resulted in other problems."
I suspect that as well, that is why I asked:
"What procedure did you use to replace the Safari application?
And what procedure did you use to reinstall Panther 10.3.x, after the failed upgrade?"
I also suspect that if, after the failed Tiger 10.4.x upgrade, you performed an Archive & Install of Panther 10.3.x, and chose to "preserve your user and network settings", there could be some corruption of the system.
See this KB Article for info How to reinstall a prior version
Quoted from there:
"Important: You should only perform an Archive and Install installation over the same major version of Mac OS X. For example, if your Mac OS X Install disc has Mac OS X 10.3, then you should only perform an Archive and Install over version 10.3 through 10.3.9. "Downgrading" your operating system version to an earlier major version may lead to issues. For example, downgrading Mac OS X 10.4 or later by performing an Archive and Install installation with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier Install discs could lead to:..."
Could you please also post, how the Tiger 10.4.x upgrade failed?
And review the KB Articles linked to below.
Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X
Safari may not work after an Archive and Install
