Safari stops loading webpages

I have 2 Macbooks on my network with identical settings and one works fine when surfing with Safari the other keeps stopping on webpages. I have reset permissions, emptied cache, all the things suggested. I found that Pinging to my Airport extreme shows 100% packet loss not all the time. By keep on pinging I have found it works now and again and then just drops the speed.... Anybody any Ideas?
Cheers, Martin

The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 / )
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

Safari stops loading website

I have one of the new 27" imacs, with the Apple airport router, Safari 6.05 and OS X 10.8.5. As of the last upgrade , when clicking on websites or if I'm tryiing to open one of my favorite links, safari stops loading the website. The only way to load any website is by me going to the address bar clicking on it and hitting enter, once I do this the site will load, this is not the only problem along with website if I'm watching a video half way through the video it will come to a complete stop and no matter how many times I hit the play button nothing happens. To get the video to run I have to hit the back button leave the webpage and then go forward back to the video click the play where the video will completely load and Im able to finish watching the video. It doesn't matter if its youtube, hulu or any other service I get the same results. Does anyone have any suggestions how to resolve this problem.

Have you installed the supplemental update to 10.8.5?

Safari stops loading

Since a few days Safari stops loading some websites before completing (including Apple.com). The proposed solution on this forum to add two DNS codes does not help in my case.
Your suggestions will be appreciated!

Try resetting Safari:
IMPORTANT: Resetting Safari removes all cookies, saved passwords, and saved AutoFill information, not just the ones saved during the current browsing session. Cookies saved by other applications may also be removed.
To reset:
Choose Safari > Reset Safari.
Deselect any items you don’t want to reset:
Clear history: Clears the stored addresses of webpages you’ve viewed.
Empty the cache: Clears the temporary location on your computer where Safari saves webpages you’ve viewed. The cache helps webpages load more quickly.
Clear the Downloads window: Clears the list of files you’ve downloaded from websites. Only the names are removed; the files themselves are still on your disk until you remove them.
Remove all cookies: Removes cookies that websites have stored on your computer.
Remove all website icons: Removes website icons, which are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the Safari address bar and bookmarks list, and other places. These icons are stored on your computer.
Remove saved names and passwords: Removes user names and passwords, which Safari remembers for you when the AutoFill feature is turned on.
Remove other AutoFill form text: Removes some personal information, such as telephone numbers, used to automatically complete forms on webpages. Safari remembers this information for you when the AutoFill feature is turned on. Removing AutoFill information does not remove information from your address book.
Clear Google searches: Clears the Google search field of recent searches, which are normally saved in a list viewed by clicking the search field’s magnifying glass icon.
Close all Safari windows: If you don’t close all Safari windows, someone could use the Back and Forward buttons to view the webpages you’ve visited.
Click Reset.
Open windows are closed and a new window opens. The new window has a new history for the Back and Forward buttons and the SnapBack buttons.

Mac Mini Stopped Loading Webpages

Heres the deal:
I have a late 2012 mac mini. OS X Yosemite. 10.10.1 I've had it connected to the same Comcast wireless modem for several months without issue. The past couple days the mini stopped loading webpages. It's like the internet is really slow. Sometimes it will load a page after several minutes. The internet/network works perfectly fine all all other devices in the house. Speed tests at 15Mb/s download on my phone. But heres the weird part, my Mac Mini works well when I wirelessly tether my phone's LTE to the computer, it loads webpages just fine. I've tried Chrome and Safari. I tried unplugging all the USB/Firewire cables from the back. I can't turn bluetooth off because of my mouse and keyboard.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dean

Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
          PHY Mode
          Channel
          Security
          Signal/Noise or RSSI
          Transmit Rate
Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.
Now hold down the option key again and select
           ▹ System Information... ▹ Network ▹ Wi-Fi
Compare the two-letter Country Code with the ISO code for your country. Does it match? The code X0 means that the country couldn't be determined. The code X3 means South America, not otherwise specified.

Safari stopped loading all images!

Safari stopped loading all images! Do I have to reinstall or is there a better fix for this?

Yep. Don't know how programs get the nerve to bug-out on their own, but surfing through the forums gave me the inkling to look further. I had to post the no-brainer since it seemed so painfully obvious!

Firefox stops loading webpages after sometimes, stopping all plugincontainer.exe doesn't help either, help!

I downloaded Firefox4 and started using it. It stopped loading webpages after sometime, I checked the task manager and found out that a lot of plugincontainer.exe processes are running, I stopped them all but that didn't help either. Please help.

The page
http://www.burton.com/Gear/Default.aspx#/other/urbanbags/cityline/subcat/subCat. swf
requires the latest Flash Plug-In
Un-install what's there now using

Then install

Safari stopped loading after an update

safari stopped loading, so i tried to download safari disk image from the apple site but when i try to open it i get the error that disk image failed to mount because it was "not recognized" i tried opening as a test user but got the same error. So then i dragged the original safari application to the trash and tried it but got the same error again

That generally means a bad download, or a Disk corruption problem.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger 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. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Safari cannot load webpages.

Safari cannot load webpages. It only shows blank page while other web browsers work well. How could I solve this?

Glad you were able to get the issue resolved =)
Linc Davis, I am curious where you were able to get the Safari 7.0.3 installer package from?? I thought that the only way you could reinstall Safari 6 and later was by reinstalling the OS? Also, right-clicking on the Safari app and choosing show package contents did not show the installer.pkg. Just would like to know for future reference since reinstalling OS X for a minor issue such as this is obviously overkill =P

IPhone using Mac Mini's internet connection sharing, stops loading webpages

Bought an iPhone 1 hour ago.
I'm sharing my internet connection to my iBook and MacBook from my Mac Mini. Works fine.
Can't connect using the iPhone.
It will detect the network, it will show full network reception, but it will only load webpages for the first 10 seconds and then stops.
Tried removing the password, fixing a channel, resetting the iPhone (full reset), the "forget this network" trick, nothing worked.
It will load web pages in the first 10 seconds of detecting my open network. Its highly frustrating...
Any suggestions? Maybe using the restore option from iTunes instead of the reset ones from iPhone? Will this try to reinstall the latest firmware?

Very similar case here -- I bought an iPhone just yesterday, set it up with internet sharing on my Mac Mini, and am getting random (but frequent) failures connecting via wifi. Small web pages can get through sometimes, large (or complex) web pages almost always hang during loading, e-mail pretty much never works.
However, using "edge" works just fine.
I've nosed around these forums a bit (and googled for this problem a bit), and it does seem like there are a number of users having this sort of trouble. However, some folks with this problem have noted that they can run wifi just fine at other hotspots. (I haven't taken my phone to another hotspot yet, maybe I'll try tomorrow...) And I've shared my internet connection to other PCs from my Mini successfully before. So, in my opinion, this problem does not appear to be an actual hardware fault in either the iPhone or the Mac Mini, but rather some disagreement between the settings chosen on both sides; my guess is that this'll take a driver modification in either or both to fix, rather than a replacement of either the iPhone or the Mini.
Just my current guess, though.

Safari stops loading page

Why doesn't safari load webpages completely? only sometimes though

Try changing your DNS servers. Try OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) or google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).

Safari stops loading images randomly

When I'm using Safari, it will be working fine, and then for some unknown reason, it will just stop loading images, and a small blue box with a question mark will appear instead.
This happens on all sorts of pages, it can be a page that was loading fine before, then no images will load.
Also, the problem does eventually go away, and then images start loading again.
I noticed tonight that it started happening when my battery was low...could it be related to battery power?
Help! This is very annoying.

I'd love to know why this seems to have worked...
DNS - Domain Name System - is the system that tells your computer and web browser where to look for a domain like www.apple.com. The domain is just a name - some system has to be used to figure out where that site actually resides, so it can be loaded in a web browser.
Basically, each ISP sends you to a DNS server that looks up a domain (e.g. www.apple.com) and figures out what that domain's IP address is (e.g. 17.149.160.49 ). Your web browser is then directed to that physical address and is able to load the web site you were looking for.
Some DNS servers (nameservers) can be flaky, either not providing updated addresses or being slow to access. Sometimes there are problems in communication somewhere between your computer, your router, your modem, and the DNS server. Often those problems can be fixed by manually entering your ISP's nameserver addresses or by using alternate nameserver addresses. Common alternate nameservers are Verizon's DNS servers (which include the addresses 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2) and the OpenDNS DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220).
By specifying nameserver addresses in your System Preferences or in your router's settings, you are choosing to use a different system for finding web sites than the one your ISP is using and/or you might be solving any communication problems that might exist somewhere between your computer and the nameserver you're using.

Safari stops loading: just hanging

Safari starts loading and then just hangs half-way. I have tried resetting the cache, updating etc. but nothing seems to stop this from happening. Used Chrome and it seemed to works fine: pages load fast, no hanging.
What is happening to Safari?

I have same problem!
Using MacBookPro mid 2012 2.9HGz Intel Core i7 8 GB memory, 750GB HD

Safari stops loading after a few pages...

This is a revisit of a problem I've had for almost a year now...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3181078#3181078
Open a couple of pages (fine) but from then on the progress blue bar makes it to the end of the http:// text and stops.
The browser is running and there's no sign of App not responding... leading to a force quit. It simply stops loading the pages.
This is even happening after installing Public Beta so I'm guessing it's deeper in the OS than any of teh files replaced or cleaned with this new install.
I like Safari, but not when there is a silly corruption/fault like this.
Thanks
Nigel.

I'm having a similar problem. Browser won't get past http not only with Safari but with Firefox as well. But with a few twists. My computer will actually crash on some pages running flash after a few minutes. Are you connecting to internet wirelessly?
I was at genius bar today and of course the computer seemed to be working ok, after crashing on me two or three times in the morning. But that was before I came up with the flash theory. They checked the crash log and saw an issue with airport. So they think it's an issue with my home router/modem unit. But I'm not so sure because my other computers, pc's, are doing ok. So I'm beginning to think it's an issue with the Airport card in the computer. I'm in process of trying to narrow it down now.
Could airport card be getting funky after being on for a few minutes? my computer is only a few weeks old.

Safari is loading webpages extremely slow and not loading images...

Not loading webpages a lot of the time and not loading images on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm new to Mac and I'm running Safari on a Mac Mini. Help? Also deleted ~/Libraries/Safari and it didn't work.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
