Safari -- Pages wont load

Hello,
We bought an iMac about a year ago, and it's been perfect. However, starting about yesterday, whenever I would try to load a page like ESPN, Safari would freeze up because the ads won't show up. This has happened on a lot of sites, and I can barely go on a site without it freezing up. I tried emptyin the cache, but that has made no difference. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

My Safari page load hangs were being caused by long URLs being split across packets by Safari that were not liked by my new SonicWall firewall. Firefox does not seem to split long URLs across multiple packets, so Firefox works fine with Sonicwall. My temporary fix was to turn off the CFS Content Filtering Service to allow Safari to complete loading pages. The solution that allows turning CFS back on is outlined below.
Examples of pages that were hanging were www.delta.com home page and even apple.com discussion boards. When I encountered a page that would not fully load (blue bar in URL would not fully complete), I click on the X in tool bar to cancel the loading page. Then choose Window>Activity. URLs that showed status "cancelled" were very long URLs, typically related to advertisements or metrics collection.
The following document shows the "hidden" Sonicwall option change that fixed the problem for me.

Pages wont load, links become inactive

Hello, I have had this issue for a while and I have finally decided to ask for some help, usually I can find answers to my problems but am a bit stumped on this one.
My issue is this:
I do a search, right click link and open in new tab - works 80% of the time. ok other 20% page wont open just stuck. Whats interesting though is I have found if I refresh the google search page I can then open the link fine, - the first open page is still sitting there spinning around, sometimes when the link opens this will kick the first try into finding the site. Now it has been getting worse. Now links on web pages becoming inactive as in i click on the link and nothing happens, right click and it does not have open in new tab ect. Its as though the page has lost all of it connections to the internet. sometimes when i refresh the page after a link not working it will open the linked page? bizarre.
I have done a lot of research on this and have done things like clear the cache,
uninstalled and reinstalled firefox,
changed to new profile,
and a myriad of other things mainly in regards to pages wont load.
does this happen in other browsers, I barely use other browsers so haven't noticed that it does.
I use ghostery and ad block plus, ad block pop up, ad block is set to exclude google.
does this happen on other computers with firefox on my wireless network? not as much sometimes pages wont load but can put that down to internet or wireless issues.
I cant rule out it being a browser issue because when pages wont load from google links i can open bookmarks and the pages load as well as links from them out to the internet, and the page open via google still sits on spinning, try the link again and again and still wont load.
Could it just be a bad link? it happens far too often for the internet to have that many bad links.
other clues,
Ad block plus and ghostery have used this and updated for a long time with out these issues.
Issues only started with the last couple of firefox updates.
something of interest is that this issue started around the time we upgraded to adsl 2+ from adsl and got a new modem, but the internet is still connected and I can still surf from the bookmarks so that could be just a coincidence so I still cant rule out a browser issue.
oh does the page time out - eventually yes but takes a long time, I do see it saying waiting for fonts.google or other such things but tried all of those fixes and nothing helps.
I hope I have been able to get my issue across.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

My chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer not firefox i tried the drag it to the little house it did not work it worked before i lost it three days ago

my chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer but not firefox I tried the drag it to the little houes by the address bar but it still wont load it was working but stopped three days ago

I upgraded my Firefox and now when I open, either from a shortcut on my desk top or the Firefox icon all I get is a blank page with no address but about:blank. I can then open a page such as my mail or home page from a bookmark, nothing from the desktop will open in any thing other than the blank page. Also my right click options only work once and a while. Things like saving a photo or going back just don't work. All sorts of little glitches, I find them very frustrating and am considering going back to IE even though I don't like it much. All my saved pass words are gone too.

Safari 5-slow, pages wont load

i downloaded safari 5 today and ever since the pages are loading SUPER slow.
i deleted cookies & downloaded the 10.5.8 update combo (as suggested by a computer person).
some pages load ok, not as fast as they used to. some just wont load at all.
oh no. have i ruined my new prized possession? help or tips anyone? these discussion threads are discouraging so far.

HI,
Your forum profile indicates you are running v10.6.4 but you downloaded the v10.5.8 update? v10.6 is Snow Leopard, v10.5 is Leopard so I'm not sure exactly what you were trying to accomplish.
For Safari... From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If Safari still lags loading pages...
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If third party add-ons aren't the issue, repair disk permissions especially if you didn't do this after the Safari 5 update.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari. Move the "cache.db" file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
If nothing above has helped, login to another user account. Try Safari there. If pages are still slow to load, then the problem is system wide, not just isolated to your Home Folder.

My safari just wont load, everything else works so connection ok

Hi
My Safari on my imac wont load up at all it just bounces on the bar then nothing, itunes and email work fine so connection is good...........??

Make sure the Safari app is in the Applications folder.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Deselect: Enable plug ins Quit then relaunch Safari. If Safari loads pages, troubleshooting help here. Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit, relaunch Safari.
Check for Login Items: Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Try Safari in another user account. Same problems there, then log back into your admin account, launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utillities.
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

Every time I open a new Safari page, it loads the one(s) that are already open, instead of taking me to a new start page.

Every time I open a new Safari page on my MacBook Pro, it load the one(s) that are already open, instead of a new page. it's 8.0.2. I already went to Preferences and it says new page will open to Favorites....but it doesn't.

Hello beany1818,
Also check in Safari Preferences and look in the Safari Opens with and make sure that it is set to “with a new window” and not “all the windows from your last session”. Take a look at the article for more information.

Pages wont load Win 8.1

I have updated to win 8.1 and find that some pages just wont load, sometimes theirs a big lag. eg
This page can’t be displayed
Make sure the web address http://www.superrugby.co.nz
is correct.
Look for the page with your search engine.
Refresh the page in a few minutes.
I copy this url and paste it to chrome and it opens the site.
This procedure does not always work tho, sometimes it wont open in either page?

Make sure the web address http://www.superrugby.co.nz
is correct.
If there is a connectivity problem try to simplify. E.g. test with just the site's favicon.
http://www.superrugby.co.nz/favicon.ico
Note that if you have visited the site before that might be loaded from your cache (aka TIF). So at least press Ctrl-F5 after loading it, if not just clear your TIF. However, there is an intermediate level of cache control that you could try
using the Developer Tools (F12), in the Network tab (Ctrl-4): Always refresh from server. (E.g. that one sounds like you might not need to do Ctrl-F5 while it was in effect. Use the Capture tool to find out for sure what it does.)

Safari - Pages Not Loading

I am having a terrible time today. My internet is working fine but I can't get pages to load in Safari.
It's just started happening today. I updated Safari with the new OS Update.
Partial Pages Upload
No page Upload
Pages just stop loading and I can't even close the tab via the grey X in the corner
Is anyone else having these problems.
I've reset Safari
Rebooted
Not sure what else to do.
Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue ..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, try this DNS server.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

The permissions tab under page info is missing and page wont load

webpage wont load when i go under page info the permissions tab is not there im thinking it is some how block but i dunno ive tried restarting cleared all history ive even uninstalled/reinstalled firefox nothing helps

You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-manage-website-permissions
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Certain pages wont load or need to constantly be refreshed!

Some websites wont load the flash content for me or they need to be refreshed constantly. Specifically, the website I use for online homework assignments. It will load 2 or 3 questions in a row and then I'll click next and it wont load and I have to hit refresh. I've tried it on other computers and it works perfectly. I tried all of the flash troubleshooting. I mean ALL of them. I changed the local flash storage settings for the website to unlimited and nothing changed. I contacted the website as well and they said it is a flash problem. I have tried everything I can think of. I went through all of my internet explorer settings as well and it fixed nothing. PLEASE HELP!

In order to really figure out what's happening, I have to reproduce the problem while running Flash with a C++ debugger attached.
To that end, the following information would be useful:
- A link to the website
- The operating system and version you're using
- The Flash Player version (you can right-click on Flash content and look at the context menu)
- The browser and version
If you haven't already, try on a couple browsers. The version of Flash Player in Chrome is different from the one in Firefox/Safari, and the one in Internet Explorer.
Also, do you have any privacy tools or browser settings outside of Flash that might be blocking cookies or something?
Finally, if the vendor of your homework software is aware of a problem with Flash Player, it might be easier for us to have a conversation directly. They're more than welcome to reach out to send me a private message via the forums with their contact information, and I'll happily work with them to understand what the issue is and get it resolved. This would be ideal, because a test account would be very helpful. We're always happy to add to our pool of real-world applications that we can use for testing.
Thanks!

My home page wont load

My bookmark toolbar wont load either. I changed nothing in firefox, it just start happening today.

I would recommend trying one of these quick fixes first:

If nothing under that article helps, let us know and we can look into more detail
Hope this helps!

Accounts system prefrences page wont load

Accounts pane of system prefrences wont load.
and i use multiple users.
I have a few fidle finger users so i need to limit them.
thanx
jord

If those other solutions don't do the trick, as a last step I would recommend performing an "Archive and install". Basically, this re-installs Mac OS X without removing any of your user files, settings, applications, etc. It re-installs your operating system, but in a way that preserves everything that you had before. It should fix your System Preferences problem.
For detailed instructions on how to perform an archive and install, go here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Good Luck!

Ipad wont sign into app store, safari pages not loading

I bought an ipad 2 used. It wont sign into itunes store or app store and safari isnt loading anything. I am connected to a working wifi. It is signed into my icloud, and facetime. When signing into imessage it says check network connection. Then verification failed. I finally I updated it to ios 7.1.2 hoping it might fix it. still same issue. What am I missing or did i buy a problem child?

I hesitate to post again since I could be suggesting things that you already tried - like the first thing that I suggested - but I would try Resetting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Even if every other device in the house can connect to the network, sometimes that helps.
IF that doesn't work, and if you post again, let us know what you have already tried so we are not suggesting the same things that you've already attempted.

Safari pages not loading properly and certain pages don't even load

Recently, I've been struggling with a lot of certificate warnings and some incomplete loadings from Safari. I don't know why but my mac is constantly asking me to verify certificates even though i've allowed them all for my most frequently visited sites. I've experienced this before but I don't know why I'm encountering this again and this time I'm also sick and tired of twitter insisting on not even loading and my hotmail being improperly loaded. Font and scale of everything change and there are no images when my pages are being improperly loaded. I can't do anything like that. How can I change the certificate settings so that my mac will never ever again ask me for authentification each and every time I try to load. Please help for Safari's certificate issue and improper loading.

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
Check the box marked
Set date and time automatically
if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
Repeat with this line:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 3
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
Step 4
Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Step 6
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
Step 7
Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.
