Safari safe browsing service unavailable

I've recently upgraded to Yosemite (6 days ago) and since then in the Safari security settings, I've had the message 'The google safe browsing service is unavailable. No update have occurred x days.
I've tried a few workarounds that I've seen online. Starting in safe mode, unchecking and then rechecking the Fraudulent sites check box. But its not getting rid of the issues.
Anyone else having the same issue, or know any other workarounds?
Thanks

1. Delete Caches.db
    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown.
    Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db
    Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.
    Close windows and relaunch Safari.
2. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
If this doesn't help, wait until  this warning goes  off by itself.

  • Google Safe Browsing service unavailable with Yosemite

    Since the last update, safari says " google safe browsing service unavailable since 4 days". I can't access to gmail or youtube anymore. I tried with a another session, and there is no problem. I need help to fix this please....

    While Safari running I opened Safari settings I unchecked fraud box then closed preferences then reopened preferences ( goggle warning gone )  then checked  fraud box but didn't close Safari settings by closing that window I closed Safari settings by clicking the Safari page And I haven't seen the Goggle warning so apparently closing the Safari settings menu restarted the warning for me

  • Safari won't browse, warning "Google safe browsing service unavailable. No updates have occurred in 1 day"

    I have a new MacBook Pro and having been browsing happily for 2 months and tonight I have started my Mac and opened safari and it won't load. Under Preferences there is an error that reads "Google safe browsing is unavailable. No updates have occurred in 1 day"
    I have looked through the forums and nothing has helped?
    Please help?

    Launch the Network Utility 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.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Select the Lookup tab and enter
    www.apple.com
    in the address field. Press return. Post the output – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Select the Ping tab and do the same.

  • Applications :: Unable To Use Safari / Google Safe Browsing Service Unavailable

    Applications :: Unable To Use Safari / Google Safe Browsing Service Unavailable

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Google safe browsing service is unavailable

    In my preferences of Safari is appeared this: "google safe browsing service is unavailable"
    Thank you very much for your help

    Hi fellow Granite Stater - have you looked at Activity monitor to see what's using so much CPU and causing the fan to run so loudly? You might also want to reset the PRAM to see if that will help your icons stick.
    Have you emptied Safari's caches? You can try resetting it as well.
    Does using Firefox produce the same fan problems?
    I suggest you back up all your data to an external and then run DiskWarrior or TechToolPro if you have either, or run the Apple Hardware test from your install disk.
    It might be a good idea to check things using Disk Utility:
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Reboot and repair permissions from your hard drive.
    Please post back with results,

  • Safari: How to update Google Safe Browsing Service?

    Hi guys.
    I checked my security prefrences in Safari and it had a yellow sign that said my Google Safe Browsing Service is unailable and it had not been updated in 11 days.
    I would like to update it but I don't know how.
    I tried turning it off, restarting Safari and clicking it back on but that didn't help.
    I'm worried I'll be getting viruses now or something?
    I checked my software update and there was none...
    This MB Pro is brand new.

    The little yellow icon went away and all seems to be well.
    This is strange to me. Why did this happen.

  • Google Safe Browsing Service is not available Warning Message

    I just downloaded the latest update for Safari 6.0.4 on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and under Security Preferences there is a warning message beside Fraudulent Sites (yellow triange with an ! in it) that says: "Google Safe Browsing Service is not available. No updates have occurred in 27 days".
    What do I need to do to correct this?

    If the above suggestions fails, or you are already using Google as your default browser, follow the steps below:
    How to Fix "Google Safe Browsing Service is Unavailable" Error in Safari.
    1.  On the Finder Menubar, click "Go".
    2.  Then click, "Go to Folder"
    3.  Type in:  /private/var/folders  <Hit enter>
    4   There will be a few folders; open them up and look for a folder named com.apple.files.
    5.  Find, and open the folder named, com.apple.safari.
    6.  In this folder, there should be a file named, safebrowsing.db
    7.  Send the safebrowsing.db file to the trash and delete it.  This will force Safari to rebuild the file.
    8.  This should fix the problem.  But check back again to test it.  Note, the file dosen't seem to update daily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Safari Safe Browsing Data on Iphone 5

    I have just purchased a new I5 and when syncing it gets to 'stage 6 of 6' and says 'Downloading safari safe browsing data' and its been on for at least 5 hours - why and is it necessary, can I stop it doing this?

    I just had the same issue while trying to sync some new songs on iTunes. I was so confused because installing new apps from iTunes worked like a charm, but I always got stuck when trying to add some songs, even after restoring and having tried every possible solution written in several forums.
    Then I realized that some of those new songs had some weird characters in the song info (like chinese, squares... etc)... I fixed them by right-clicking each affected song in the properties section and changing artist, album, song name info with the correct characters. Then I tried to sync again and voilá !
    That's my case, I'm not sure if it fits your situation, but it worked for me.
    Good luck, hope it helps.

  • Why is "Safari safe browsing data" taking so long to load?

    Hello,
    I have a "G4" Touch.  Just updated to IOS 6.1.6 but on step 8, "Safari safe browsing data" is taking FOREVER to load. I was using Wi-Fi, but unchecked that, and now just plugged into my MBP.  If I can't solve this, how do I just "quit"?
    Thank you
    Jerry

    To terminate:
    - Force an app to close: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then hold down the Home button until the app quits.
    or
    - Double-click the Home button to reveal the multitasking bar.Touch and hold the the problem app until you get a circled X bu it. Tap the x to remove/terminate the app.

    Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen).
