Safari stops loading web pages

Issue:
Type web address into address bar
select enter
progress bar appears, but stops part way (estimate about 10%, judging how far the blue line moves)
after a period, the progress bar disappears and a white page is displayed
For pages that are already open, content stops refreshing
The issue is only temporarily resolved by restarting the machine.
The issue appeared today (22nd) (upgraded to to 10.10 on 19th).
Network connection works as expected as do other browsers, FireFox, Chrome, Opera.
Environment:
OS X 10.10 (14A389)
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
3 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB

Hi ..
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 that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Safari cannot load web pages, but still communicates with the www

I am using Safari 6.0.5 as my main web browser. Unexpectedly, a week ago it stopped loading web pages, though apparently the program somewhat still communicates with the world outside, since I can enter any text in the address bar and get responses in real time from Google.
Other programs using the internet work regularly. I have already tried the usual set of solutions proposed in the official documents.
Thanks in advance,
Valerio

Safari not loading web pages

My mom's Powerbook is no longer able to load web pages through Safari. Her email works, as does iChat, so it isn't her internet connection. Other users on the same network can load web pages, so it isn't the service provider. I have had her reset safari, as well as remove the preferences file, and the same thing happens (the 'loading' message appears but nothing ever loads).
Any suggestions what to try next?
Thanks!
Brian

HI Brian,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache.
If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ Move the Cache.db file to the Trash
If that didn't help...
Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins and /Library/Internet Plugins. If there are plugins in either of those folders, move them to a temporary location on the Desktop. With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences and click the Security tab. Make sure Enable Plugins is selected. See if Safari can load web pages. If not, move those files back to the appropriate folder.
Go to /Library/Input Managers. Move any input managers from that folder to the Desktop and relaunch Safari.
Might be a web clip causing the problem. Open Dashboard and remove any web clips.
If she is running Tiger 10.4.11, open System Preferences/Software Updates - Installed Updat4es and make sure she has the 2009-002 Security update installed. If not, download and install it here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_PPC
If her PowerBookG4 has the original hard drive, 40 or 60GB?, it might be a lack of free disk space.
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 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Because it doesn't recognise them as valid addresses - just as the error message says.
Firefox is similar : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fhp) isn't associated with any program.
Where are you seeing this problem ?.

Safari Not Loading Web Page Fully

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem.
Occasionally and randomly when I try to load any web page in Safari (v3.2.1) it stalls half-way through the process. But when I launch another browser like Firefox (and it does connect to a pre-defined web page), immediately Safari completes loading the web page.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi Carlton
With some internet providers Safari seems to function more efficiently in the page loads by adding DNS server codes to the Network settings.
In your System Preferences>Network panel, select your internet connection (airport or ethernet), then select "advanced". In the DNS panel, enter these codes on separate lines by clicking the + key:
If you live in the US 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2
Outside the US 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.222
Select "OK", then "apply".
Restart Safari. Go to the Safari Menu>Empty Cache. Then try some page loads.

Safari Not Loading Web Pages (Safari can't connect to the server)

I'm seeing increasing problems with Safari being unable to connect to websites. When the problem starts to manifest itself you see the error:
Safari can't connect to the server.
Safari can't open the page.
Then you see the URL information. It is always seems to be sites that are trying to load HTTPS pages.
Clearing the cache and resetting Safari will make it go away temporarily, but it always comes back.
Note that when this happens you might happen to see something like this in the address bar:
file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/

I'm having the same problem, I can open safari but when I try to go to a website it just says "server stopped responding." I just updated to the new version and that's when it started happening, it was working find before the update. Any suggestions???

Safari stops loading many pages: ../favicon.ico not found

Recently Safari doesn't complete the loading of many pages.
The status bar reads for example ... completed 34 of 35 items.
In some cases the page appears.
When I click a sub-topic on the page (i.e. in a forum) the link fails to load.
If I then click the stop/reload the selected link shows up, but fails to show the pictures (i.e. also incomplete)
In the activity window of Safari
http://www.......at/favicon.ico is listed as not found
Could there be a connection??
With Firefox these pages open without a problem.
My MacBookPro loads them without a problem using Safari over the same network.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Hello Starman!
Good news: Thank-you for the quick reply
Bad news: it didn't help.
I have tried most of the recommended tricks - trashing:
com.apple.Safari.plist and
com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
I have reinstalled Safari through the MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.8PPC.
I have tried both the Universal and the PPC version.
At the moment I am using the Universal 2.0.4 version.
There is no difference. The problems remain the same.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks,
TOM from Innsbruck

Why does safari stop opening web pages after a while in use?

Since upgrading to Lion, my imac (Intel) 21.5 works fine for most of the time, but frequently when using Safari to browse the internet, it will stop accessing pages, either from new searches or from history - the blue loading bar in the address panel starts, then stops. Safari itself keeps working, new tabs can be opened, history can be checked, etc. Checking the Wi-Fi shows that it is still connected, and other PCs and ipods in the house can still access the net, showing it is not a net or router problem. Restarting the machine does not usually cure the issue, only shutting down for a long period, eg overnight, when it generally starts up fine again.
This has been happening almost since I upgraded 2 months ago, but not every time we use Safari.

You can do some basic Safari trouble shooting by:
Safari - Reset Safari
Safari - Empty Cache
You can also be just low on RAM. As a general rule your system should have about 500MB or more of FREE RAM. To check to see how much your system has open Activity Monitor - System Memory Tab and look for the amount of free RAM. You can find AM in Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor. Remember to check when you are seeing a slow down otherwise the information will be meaningless. The graphic will look similar to:

Firefox Randomly stops loading web pages properly until restart.

So i want to first say that iv been a long time firefox user, however a few firefox builds ago i started having this issue where randomly when clicking a link or typing a page into the url and attempting to load, the browser would just load... and load.... and load until i exited browser and reclicked the link or retyped it into the url where it would then proceed to practically instantly load like normal.
First i thought i might have a virus, however cleaning my PC with 0 results found did not stop this issue, rebuilding 3 new PC's for my home also did not stop this issue because its currently happening on all of my computers in the home. I then thought maybe it was my internet however a few friends iv asked who also use firefox experience the same issue. Unfortunately i switched to another browser to stop the problem but when i heard there was a new firefox update i came back. However the problem still persist today as of 6/8/14.
If anyone knows a fix please let me know so i don't have to switch to a different browser again.
So basically when it loads extremely slow all i have to do is literally exit browser and reopen the exact same link and it works flawlessly, until the issue pops up again when clicking on another link however many minutes later.
I would also like to note (if it helps at all) that when it decides to start this loading bug error, one particular webpage seems to be exempt from it "Bing.com" no matter if im having this issue bing loads instantly every single time regardless, i dont use bing so i have no clue why this website does not have the same issues as every other website. (bing works for every PC as well in my home during this issue)
Thanks for the help in advance.

I had a recent problem which was making the Firefox behaving in a similar way. In my case, the culprit was a plugin which was displaying some info about the website I was visiting (IP, location, domain info, etc). So, I suggest that you'd review all the plugins which:
* Can interfere with the communication between your computer and the server
* Would perform additional requests to other servers, with the purpose of acquiring info, whenever you visit a page.
You can deactivate one/few plugins at a time and check, however a quick way to see if the issue are caused by one of them is to use Help -> Restart with addons disabled and select the Safe Mode, which will deactivate all the plugins until the next Firefox restart.

Safari not loading web pages....HELP PLEASE

i use my ipad for class everyday, and recently it hasnt been loading the entire webpage/slideshow that i am viewing... it will only load what you can see originally, but when i try to scroll, nothing is there. also, on one website, my ipad is cutting off about 1/4th of the right side of the page...i am zoomed all the way out, and cannot seem to figure it out. i dont remember it always doing this. any ideas?

Hi and welcome....
Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the History, Cookies, and the Cache.
Then restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the red slider. Move the slider to the right to power off. Restart by holding down the Sleep/Wake button until you see the white Apple logo.

Firefox has stopped loading web pages. I says the the page is "done" but it is still blank.

I had to contact you with Google Chrome because I can't open any pages with Firefox.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Help! Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh! Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?). The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops. I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it.
I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari.
Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem? How would I check.
It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
Any suggestions welcome

Hi Krisztina ..
Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Apple suggests using OpenDNS here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

In fact, I am runing some plug-ins: ClickToPlugin (Flash blocker), Collusion and Disconnect.
There is quite a history of new versions of Safari breaking third-party plug-ins/extensions becasue the plug developer did not have an updated version available by the time the new Safari version dropped. What you report--worked fne before but won't now--is exactly what history says happens in such a case.
First, turn off all third-party stuff and see if Safari smooths out. Alternatively, create a new user account and, from there, test Safari in its native state with nothing added. That is a good diagnostic to see if the issue is a plug or extension.
If either of those helps, check for updates to the add-ons. If the developer is slow in reacting to the updated Safari version, (not unheard of), stop using that extension until an update is available.

I'm using Safari 5.0.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro and can't get Safari to fully load web pages or pictures on web pages. Any suggestions?

I bought a MacBook Pro in October of 2010 and it's been running greatly up to this month. Now I am experiencing problems with Safari loading web pages. Sometimes it will load web pages just fine and other times it doesn't load web pages at all. This only seems to happen with certain sites. Also, on some web pages Safari won't load pictures (only the blue "?" is visible). I've experienced the same problem when I use the Mac App Store. In addition to these problems, when I visit sites that have problems loading, sometimes I just get a notice saying "Not connected to the internet" or "Safari cannot find the server." I am beginning to wonder if the problem could be some setting with my wireless router. I'm really hoping my MacBook hasn't gotten a virus. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply

Serious delay in loading web pages, not network, but safari issue

After my last software update, I am experiencing delays in loading web pages, 30sec-minutes on safari. This occurs rather frequently, I'd say about 20%-30% of the times I visit certain web pages.
One example web location I noticed this happening is (but its not the only one):
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caqc0363
Once I visit this page, sometime it loads fine, other times it takes forever (the load indicator stays on in the tab). Also, once the delay occurs, opening up new widows or new tabs to ANY other address are also delayed. It seem like all of safari is stuck waiting for responses. (safari itself is still running ok, it is responsive and there is NO spinning wheel of death).
It is not a network issue. Often while waiting for safari to load, I launch firefox, visit the same page and read, meanwhile Safri still loading, even after trying to refresh...I also do other network tasks, ssh, ftp, email with no problem.

Thanx! The numbers didn't help me anything, but your post reminded me: I found the DNS numbers that my ISP had provided that I had put in the Ethernet TCP/IP section in Network Preferences, and just copied and pasted them into my airport TCP/IP section. Worked great!
