Safari Question marks on secure sites

I have Safari 4 installed on my Windows laptop. I am having a problem viewing secure sites. All that appears is the text and then blue question marks where the images/tables should be. This is not a problem when using Firefox, Chrome, or IE.
This is also not a problem on my other windows computers nor on my Mac.
I've tried resetting Safari, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safari, nothing is working.
Any idea how to fix this?
I was able to fix it on a home computer by uninstalling and trashing Safari, then creating a new user and reinstalling. Unfortunately I can't do this on my work computer.

I would normally think it was that too but 3 accounts on the computer have the problem.
Okay ... that suggests a program files issue rather than preference files.
When you uninstalled Safari, did you also uninstall Apple Application Support?
If not, try the technique from the following post:

Question marks all over site

I uploaded my site from dreamweaver, but when i try to view it online most of the pages are covered in small question marks in blue boxes. I presume this means there is something going wrong with my images. Could anyone give me some help on this on how to get rid of the question marks and get my site up and running. Much appreciated.

You really should be able to figure this out yourself. You apparently have two folders for images on the server and are making use of both of them (images and Images). Pick one and be consistent in using it.

Tiny question mark next to site name

Whenever I load my website I get this tiny question mark to the right of the page name. It appears in the tab and in my bookmarks bar at the top of Safari. Any ideas as to what that could be?

Whenever I load my website I get this tiny question mark to the right of the page name.
Could you provide the url so someone can see exactly what you are talking about?
Sometimes question marks are caused by bad settings in an ftp program, if you are using one. The encoding needs to be UTF-8.

Safari will not open secure sites

Safari will not open any secure sites with a secure login. Anyone have an idea why?

Same issue here and yes, I can get to the secure sites using Firefox, Camino & Opera and no, when logged into the new user account I still can't access secure sites with Safari.
Also, I have been unable to purchase anything off of iTunes since this issue started. Does iTunes use Safariin some way? Any idea why the two things seem to be linked?
After successfully browsing Music Store & selecting the desired purchase, I hit the "Buy" button and get an error message saying that iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. "An unknown error ocurred (0x80010003)." It suggests I make sure my network connection is active & try again, but I'm clearly online.

Safari 3 not accessing secure sites

I am still using Safari 3 (3.2.3) and in the past few days I haven't been able to access secure web sites that I had been able to previously (such as an on-line mail server, bank account, etc.). When I attempt to I get a message like this: "Safari can’t open the page “https://mail.xxxxx.com” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “mail.xxxxx.com”.
It won't even let me log in to Twitter. Any ideas?

Good clue!
Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTPS, especially.

Safari won't load Secure Sites?

Hi.
I am running 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2 on both a G4 17" POwerbook and an older 400Mhz G4 Tower. Neither can access secure websites?
I can no longer log in to my Dot MAc for instance? I no longer see the Padlock in the top right corner?
Very frustrating, I can't access many secure areas I need? Any suggestions appreciated. I have cleared cache etc..
Bill

this was my previous response to the same question:
"this sounds like a keychain problem. moving /library/keychains/system.keychain to your desktop and restarting is the default solution, i believe (try searching for secure/https/login in previous posts).
if that doesn't work, you can always just move the file back."

Safari stops connecting to secure sites

My son is using Panther 10.3.9 and in Philadelphia using ComCast cable internet services. Everything was ok about a week ago... and he has done no security updates since. He is now unable to connect to secure websites for banking, etc. using Safari 1.3.2. He was recently able to do this with no problem.
Also, when he try tries to use Mail to get his email, he gets a message that says something like "unable to establish secure connection... this may not be the server you are intending to contact." There was no problem up to a week ago.
He's checked his Keychain passwords, etc. and used AppleJack to clear caches, but nothing's worked.
Suggestions would be appreciated. - Thanks
1.25 GHz iMac Mac OS X (10.3.8)

After much searching and reading, I have found an approach that solved this problem and another problem I was having connecting to the iTunes store.
It appears to be a problem for people running Mac OS 10.3.9.
The solution is to:
1. Open Finder
2. Choose your Hard Drive
3. Find the folder called Keychains in the Library folder of your hard drive
4. Drag this Keychains folder to your Trash
5. Restart computer.
I found this solution in a post by Swooz in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=787244&#787244
Prior to trying this I did all the Keychain and Disk repair things that had been suggested, to no avail.
I hope this works for you.

Safari Slow++ to on secure site

I inserted changes to the the information below in Terminal a month ago on the (very sound) advice of a fellow discussioner (sorry can't find the post know). This was because since upgrading to Tiger my Safari was crashing very often, and this fix prevented it from checking an RSS feed (I think). It stopped it crashing Anyway, but since then when checking my NHS secure e-mail it takes five minutes plus to down load a page, instead of the few seconds. If anyone has a clue about what I'm talking about...... Help

QuickTime Logo and question mark on iWeb site!

Hi All
I have a podcast page hosted at an external URL. I have got the RSS feeds working, and linking to itunes, but the media file, dispite being in the correct folder does not display on the page. Is there a line of code I need to change.
If so I think I may have a solution to hosting blogs and podcasts external to .mac.

http://www.belmonthousestud.com/podcasts/Media/WhoopyB.m4v
File not found error.
Notice that when iWeb publishes to a folder it stores in a different folder structure than when published to .Mac.
The syntax for your upload would be:
podcasts/Media/WhoopyB.m4v
A folder named "podcasts" and inside it a folder named "Media" and that is where you need to upload the WhoopyB.m4v file.
Many Web hosts also use a folder named "Media" and that can cause issues.
You should be able to manually drag the file to a new folder you make inside the podcasts folder or upload the file to that folder if it already exists.

Question Mark where Safari icon should be

I have a new macbook and love it so far, the only problem I've come across is a big one though, I have 3 accounts on my computer, all except for one of them (my account) the safari icon is now a big question mark (indicating that the file is corrupt I assume?) First I tried deleting one of the accounts and making a new one in it's place... same problem. Then I trashed the safari/question mark icon and tried to create a new one but could not find it in the finder (I searched safari, and safari.app).. Since safari is still working fine on my account (just not the others) I know it must be in there some where, but where?
Thank you so much, I hope someone can help me resolve this problem!!

I cannot find it in the applications folder on those accounts, just on the main account
Safari is supposed to be in Macintosh HD --> Applications
If Safari is not in that folder, move it there.
It should not be in Users --> yourusername -->Applications

Safari will not log in to banking or other secure sites

Safari quit logging into secure sites this morning.
I enter my user name and password, even saved ones, hit enter it goes back to the log in screen. Even new registrations - it is across all password protected sites - I had to log into this support community with Firefox.
Any one elso having this issue today?

I figured out my problem - I set the privacy settings to block all cookies. I reset it to block only third pary cookies and it is fine now.

Blue question mark after uploading image

After uploading an image to a collection page I only get a blue question mark on live site...no pics. Any idea why ?
Also, can add descriptions to video titles so they show up on content list without having to reupload entire video ?

I'm having this same problem with thumbnails. I just tried to update all my graphics yesterday...
The images I uploaded are showing up no problem in the back end, and if I click through to the collection page, the 300x300 version is there, but the front page of my site is a mess of blue question marks, and it's public-facing.
HELP! Anyone?

Safari house trouble with "secure connections"

Wow. What a pain...
Item 1. Safari has trouble accessing secure sites, even APPLE.COM as per below when I tried to log in to this forum!! Only one bank site works and virtually everything else (forums, banks, anything requiring a log-in) returns a dumb-arse response as below.
"Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ACAuthWeb.woa/wa/login?appIdKey=2dd bca23a85d20e5bf7478812379ae23&path=/login.jspa%3FsuccessURL%3D/category.jspa%3Fc ategoryID%3D169” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server"
Item 2. I threw Safari in the trash and downloaded another copy to re-install and got: "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer" This despite the fact I'm running 10.6.1
Since Mail has just shat itself recently and couldn't recognize an mail server if one bit it in the arse, I'm thinking 10.6.1 is the culprit and wasn't worth the disk it shipped on.
I normally LOVE my Mac but it has cost me a week of productivity this week and this is about as polite as I can manage.
Ideas? Thank you much for your tips/tricks in advance.
MMM

Oh, and I went to update to 10.6.1 and my computer rejected the download saying its certificate was suspect
So, Mail can't locate servers, Safari won't do secure sites, and my computer rejects Apple's own updates. I have one paranoid laptop.

Safari not showing secure site images (blue question marks)

I have Safari 4 installed on my Windows laptop. I am having a problem viewing secure sites. All that appears is the text and then blue question marks where the images/tables should be. This is not a problem when using Firefox, Chrome, or IE.
This is also not a problem on my other windows computers nor on my Mac.

I too am having this problem. I cannot access my gmail, ebay, facebook, or other login sites. If I attempt to access any site that requests user and password information, a safari dialogue stating "safari can't verify the identity of the website "...."". So far I've assumed that all of my certificates are comprimised. I don't know how to delete my certificates to get new ones as this information is not posted anywhere.

Safari cannot find the server and question mark in blue square

Hi
I consistently have problems with safari displaying the message safari cannot find the server. The version I have is 5.1.8 and I installed a security update today (23.3.13) hoping it would solve the problem. After refreshing the page a couple of times or restarting safari everything works as normal but this is an ongoing issue. I also have problems with images loading on sites. They appear as blue squares with question marks. I have tried most things people have said on the net but nothing is working.
Please help!
Thanks

HI aad1612,
Try deleting the safari plist by foloowing these instructions:
Close Safari
Open a Finder window
Click on "Go" in the upper status bar
Click and HOLD the alt/option key (Library should appear in the above list)
Keep holding the alt/otion key and click on Library (this will open a new window)
Open the Preference folder (NOT Preference Panes)
Look for com.apple.Safari.plist
Right mouse client to move this file to trash
Empty the trash
Open Safari again and hopefully your issue will be reoslved.
Good Luck
