Safari unresponsive when loading any web page

I'm running Yosemite and I think I may have accidentally caused this problem after running ChronoSync for the first time since upgrading.  Normally syncing my two computers is problem-free, but after this sync I must have screwed up some files related to Safari because now whenever I tell it to go to ANY webpage it starts to load (the blue bar is moving) and then the beach ball stats spinning and I have to Force Quit.
I have tried restarting, starting in Safe Mode (no difference), tried turning off Safari extensions (no difference), running disk repair (no problems), and then tried reinstallling Yosemite (not a clean install) with no improvement.  This is not an intermittent problem, it's completely consistent and triggered only by loading a webpage.  Any thoughts? Thanks.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • When loading ANY web page, it take firefox 3sec to load a blank page. No matter what website I try to load, it just loads a blank page

    When loading ANY web page, it take firefox 3sec to load a blank page. I have tried everything, starting firefox in safe mode and dissabling all add ons, turning 6v on and off, turnig proxy on and off, reinstalling firefox, restarting my computer, and reinstalling drivers. I can use another browser to surf the internet but finding one that is as capable to firefox isn't easy.
    ps. Firefox did start at one point and then just stoped.
    I use Linux Ubuntu 11.04 single boot

  • Safari can't load any web pages

    I just installed Safari on a WinXP Pro machine and it shows a Can't Open Web Page error when trying to access any web page, while FireFox and IE function without problem. There are no proxies; local firewall is disabled; tried re-installing and clearing App Data. Safari loads file:// pages OK, so it appears to be something in the network access. (Not a DNS issue since I tried loading by IP address as well.)
    Any ideas?

    I am using 4.42 version of safari.i did not get any message the thing is that when i enter my user name an password it just refresh the login page.

  • Safari will not load any web pages

    I choose safari and the apple home page comes up. 
    The problem is when I want to go to yahoo or TSN web pages they do not totally load and keeps reloading 3 or 4 times and then Safari comes up and says>
    "Safari cannot display this web page"   and
    "Safari has repeatedly encountered an error while trying to display"
    Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari won't load ANY web pages!

    safari just stopped running web pages all of a sudden. i think it started after i upgraded to 10.3.9. safari bounces and opens up. then it attempts load a page. after a few minutes it gives me a message of "Safari could not open the page “http://livepage.apple.com/” because the server stopped responding." it's the same with every site i try going to. i've already tried to empty the cache, reset safari, disk utility, and deleting the history and bookmarks. if any one has any idea I would love to hear it

    Can you use another browser such as Firefox or Camino? Shiira doesn't count because it is based on the same foundation as Safari.
    Also what happens if you try a new, clean user account? To create a new account, open System Preferences and click on Accounts. You may have to click on the padlock and give your admin name and password to create an account. Click on the plus sign in the lower right corner to create the new account. I see no reason to give it a password. You can delete this account later using using the minus key, although I have kept my second account to use for testing (the user folder only takes up 32 kb).
    And for those still using anything earlier than OS X 10.4.4, I strongly suggest running either the regular 10.4.4 update (which can only be used if you have 10.4.3) or the combo update. The latter will make sure your system is up to snuff. There were lots of fixes in general and several specifically to Safari in this update.

  • Talk Talk wifi connection but safari will not load any web pages?

    I have a new Ipad and it is connected to TalkTalk wifi. But the problem is that Safari will not load a single web page?
    Are there any known issues with this problem. My PC connects to the same wifi network and is running fine.
    The build bar for the web page I try to access turns 3/4 blue but then gives an error message, 'cannot connect to server'
    TalkTalk call centre kept saying that they do not support Ipad? But would not elaborate!
    Apple call centre updated IOS 6.1.2 and reset network settings but no solution as yet.
    Do I need to take this back?
    Has anyone had a similar problem?

  • Safari won't load ANY web page

    Hello,
    Safari 2.0.4 running on OS 10.4.8 will show the url in the address bar, and the status bar will say "Contacting 'www.apple.com' " but nothing ever loads in the browser.
    My internet connection seems solid enough with Firefox and IE only Safari and Dashboard Widgets seem effected. I am connecting via ethernet, router & dsl. I've tried logging in on a different user account and the problem is the same there too. I've tried loading HTML documents from my local drive and it will not load them either so I don't think it has to do with my internet connection. There is no spinning ball, and the browser doesn't hang up or crash it just consistantly shows a blank white browser window. I've cleared the cache & history. It will not show bookmarks either.
    I thought I'd try to download a fresh copy of Safari and re-install it but the latest version I find on Apple's website is Safari2.0.1 and when I try to run it's installer it insists it cannot install because I need 10.4.2 even though I am running 10.4.8.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this are appreciated.
    Thank you!
    G4 dual processor   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Thanks for your thorough description of the problem and steps you have taken. Good you tested from another User Account. The problem is system-wide, since the other User Account showed the same condition.
    After upgrading to 10.4.8, did you remember to "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utility folder? If not, please do so, then restart Safari and see if all is well.
    If no change, I suggest reapplying the 10.4.8 combined update, repairing permissions via Disk Utility after the install restart.
    Post back.

  • Safari wont load any web pages

    I've been using both Safari (2.x) and Firefox in my MBP for a coupel of months w/o problems. Now all the sudden Safari will not load any web pages. FX still works ok. Has anyone had a simialr problem? It's almost like Safari doesnt recognize you are connected to the internet.

    Same thing to me!
    I downloaded it 3 days ago, installed it and it never worked. The option to set up the proxy server was grayed out. My IE and firefox are working perfectly (of course I set up the proxy server on each browser), basically Safari doesn't open any web page. I'd like try this browser but I don't have idea how configure it, if anybody knows how to, I'll appreciate it.

  • Safari update to 5.1.5, on snow leopard, now safari won't open any web page.

    Just installed Safari update to 5.1.5 and now Safari won't load any web page. Running snow leopard on an iMac.  How do I fix, or revert to previous version of Safari that did work, keeping in mind, can't access internet on that computer since Safari won't load a web page (Firefox, Chrome, Opera have never worked on that computer, although Firefox worked fine until I upgraded OS to snow leopard).

  • I've installed the new safari and it didnt load any web pages

    i've installed the new safari and it didnt load any web pages  and i dont knw wut to do thank and pleas help as quick as possible

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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.)
    Let us know after that what happens.

  • My MacBook Pro won't load any web page I have restarted and safe booted still nothing

  • Safari Slow to Load Certain Web Pages

    Has anyone found a fix for the web pages that get "stuck"

    This has been an ongoing problem in Safari v2.0x with OS X v10.4. However, I would describe this as "Safari stalls when loading Web pages." It seems like it may happen on certain pages, but it has been my experience that this can happen on any Web page at any give time: In fact, it just happened when I tried to load the Safari Discussions forum page!
    - Safari attempts to load a Web page
    - Progress bar in address field stalls at mid-point or later
    - Web page never finishes loading but sometimes, if you're patient, it takes a minute or more to load, but eventually finishes
    - More often, cancelling the page load (Command/Period) and then immediately hitting Command/R (or selecting Reload Page from the View menu) usually loads the page immediately!
    Once, I thought it might be favicons, but I had just reset that folder to Read Only. Also, I just used Font Book to Resolve Duplicate Fonts before seeing it happen again. This is pretty frustrating, and never seems to get better.

  • Safari won't load some web pages.

    Ever since installing Mavericks, Safari won't load some web pages (including these Apple support pages). I'm able to load the pages using Chrome or Firefox. Does anyone know of any settings in Safari 7 or the Mavericks system preferences that would be causing this?
    -Greg

    I had the same problem... I ran disk repair and repaired all permissions on the HD then reopened safari now it's working fine.
