Safari won't connect to the server

Hi there! I have a persistent error which says safari wont connect to the internet.
Annoying!
Any ideas?

Hey No28104a,
I would start off your troubleshooting by trying some of the suggestions in this link:

Let us know if that helped resolve the issue.
Take care,

  • Safari won't connect to the internet?

    Hi all
    Safari won't connect to the internet. My Itunes store works fine, and i can update my software without any problems.
    Anyone have a sollution?
    Thanks!

    I open Safari => Top sites open ==> i click on a site ==> Safari says " Safari can't open the page "http://www.youtube.com/" because Safari can't connect to the server "www.youtube.com".
    This message is not a popup, its a text in the Safari page like "no internet" or something.
    Itunes store works fine :s
    Thanks

  • 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???

  • Problem with Safari **Safari can't connect to the server**

    My internet is working fine, but I keep having to refresh the page because I'm always getting "safari can't connect to the server".  Same thing happens with different browsers.  I've read a couple things online and unistalled everything that I think is causing the problem but it's still happening frequently.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Most school networks are closed networks. You can access their Intranet, with all the files and peripherals and everything, but you need to have a specific password or IP address to access any outside connection. I have an ibook G4 that's 3 years old. I used it in high-school to access AOL wirelessly. That was before closed and protected networks were prefered. It shouldn't matter if the school intranet is widows based or not. You need to access your own internet service sometimes in order to get any reaction. If you simply use safari, you might only be connecting to the schools intranet, which only links together the schools computers and keeps the system isolated. Also, you need to check your firewall settings, in fact, just turn off the firewall. The schools sytem is firewalled up the bum and you shouldn't get attacks anyway because you're running the mac os.
    You might also try an alternative approach. Go into a computer lab, access one of the systems, then go to control panels and look up every connection you can find. Take down all of the info and then see which matches up with similar info on your mac. Then go to another pc and look up the same info again. Is it different? How? Then take that listing to the system administrator and show them. They may not know that a mac has a simpler interface than the pc, so you may have to do some prodding to get them to take a look. If they still tell you it wont work, you could try boot-camp or a virtualizer (to let you run windows alongside the mac os). If you use a virtualizer, you can get your own copy of windows and then share it's connection to the main system to the mac.

  • "Safari can't connect to the server".

    Today when attempting to launch Safari, 'Little Snitch' tells me that:
    "Safari wants to connect to www.i.google.com on port 80 / IP address 72.14.213.105 / Reverse DNS Name pv-in-f105.1e100.net "
    When I 'Deny' this I get the message that "Safari can't connect to the server".
    I do not understand how or why i.google is preventing my access to the web.
    It's never happened before and Google is not my home page.
    Do you have any ideas?

    HI,
    According to VersionTracker, Little Snitch is not compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6

  • Safari can't connect to the server - still causing problems

    Hi
    I have read through several topics relating to this problem - but have yet to be able to resolve the issue. So apologies in advance if it has already been answered in one of the many threads.
    I have 2 computers both working off the same broadband hub connection.
    Both have the same version of the OS and the same version of Safari: OS 10.4.11 and Safari 4.0.4
    I have checked that the network settings are the same and all parental control settings are the same.
    The laptop will access sites that the desktop will not.
    Can anyone shed some light as to why numerous sites I try to access on the iMac result in a Safari message "Safari can’t connect to the server".
    Same applies when I attempt the same sites with Firefox.
    I have emptied caches, resolved all font issues, addressed terminal and plists etc. etc. - all to no avail.
    Help!!!

    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
    If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.

  • Safari can't connect to the server, but firefox can

    i have a few websites (mainly google sites) that don't show with safari but they do with firefox
    i'm getting a "Safari can't connect to the server" error
    to take DNS out of the picture i am looking up the ip address for the server and use the ip instead of the domain name so
    http://74.125.19.103/images?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=test&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um= 1&sa=N&tab=wi
    works in firefox but not in safari
    any ideas are more than welcome.
    thanks,
    tom

    Hello Tom:
    No I meant restart the computer. OS X rebuilds preference files as needed, but I am not sure what it does if you do not restart.
    You could also reset Safari (that will also delete your cookies).
    Just for the heck of it I would also run permission repair and also run repair disk from your software install DVD (those will probably not fix anything, but it does not take much time either).

  • 'Safari can't connect to the server' - not sure why?

    Hi everyone
    I've tried looking up past similar questions ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3245104 ) but I've been going round in circles a bit so thought I'd try my own post.
    My Macbook looks like it's connected to the internet but when I open Safari it says 'Safari can't open the page 'hhtp://www..google.co.uk/' because Safari can't conect to the server www.google.co.uk' and no other web sites will open.
    I'm on an old pc at the moment which is working fine and having no problems connecting to the internet, so it seems like just a problem with my macbook.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If any more information helps, it's connected through Airport but won't open web pages. When I try using the ethernet it says 'ethernet has a self assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet.'
    Any ideas anyone?

  • Safari won't connect to the internet (but computer is)

    Today,
    None of our Macintosh (by Apple) devices will connect to the internet. Actually, only Safari says it won't connect to the internet.
    If I run Terminal on our Macbook, I can ping yahoo.com, google.com, etc... Also, Skype works just fine. However, when we run Safari, no web page will load and we get the error screen saying that the computer is not connected to the internet. Running diagnostics (forget where it's located on the computer) says we are indeed connected (which I could tell from Skype and pinging).
    Coincidentally, neither our iPhone or iPod can get to any web pages on Safari when connected to our wireless router. Using 3g network they access web pages fine. Our PC has no internet troubles today whatsoever.
    Any idea why Safari doesn't work? Unfortunatley we don't have Firefox or Chrome on our Macbook to test it out, not sure how to download those without being able to access their respective web pages.
    Thanks!

    Try turning off the router for 5 minutes, then turn it back on.
    Restart your Mac as well as the iPhone and iPod.
    If that doesn't help, on the Mac, go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration
    Move all the files from the System Configuration folder to the Trash.
    Now on your iPhone and iPod tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
    See if Safari will load pages.
    If not, on your Mac, go to System Prerferences - Security.
    If the Firewall is turned on, turn that off. Restart your Mac, Try Safari again.
    Since you can access the net with 3G, it's got to be your Wi-Fi.
    System Preferences / Network / Assist Me is where you find Diagnostics.
    Make sure all the light are green. If not, click Continue.

  • Safari can't connect with the server

    I'm operating on cable/ethernet/802.1x. A few days ago I unplugged the cable from the iBook for a couple minutes, reconnected, and suddenly Safari won't connect, except for 3 banking sites with https urls. I've tried all the usual tricks, like dumping cookies, cache, reinstalling from Apple, shutting down, rebooting the modem. I may have even screwed things up in the library. It almost seems like a security/authorization issue, where I am without knowledge. Now, suddenly,after playing with all these activities, the fan starts up after only a few minutes. The case is warm, but not overly so. It's running as I type. I don't notice a significant slow down in performance. Stumped Jim

    Hi Jim
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    There may be hard drive problems or the PRAM needs to be reset. Restart the computer holding down the P R Option and Command keys for 3 chimes. After the 3rd chime, release those keys and immediately hold down the shift key. This will restart the computer in Safe Mode. Safe Mode in part runs a few maintenance scripts on the drive. As such, it will take longer than usual for the boot process to bring you to the log-in screen.
    Log-in after the log-in screen appears. Once the boot is complete, restart the machine again as you usually would. Then, try your Network connection again.

  • My Apple TV won't connect to the server...nothing has changed and never had problems before

    Help...why can't I suddenly connect to itunes thru my Apple TV to rent movies?  It says I can't connect to server

    I started having a similar problem late last year. I have just arrived home from LA and I'm still having issues.
    My setup for reference:
    Comcast 50 down 10 up
    AirPort Extreme 5th gen 802.11n version 7.6.4
    Connection as seen from AirPort utility data rate 58Mb/s RSSI -70 dBm in 802.11a/n
    Apple TV 3rd gen version 6.0.2
    Connected to a 47" 1080p Vizio Smart TV over HDMI.
    Another Apple TV I have on 6.0.1 is working fine.
    I have no issues on any other wireless client connecting to the AirPort Extreme and previously had no issues with my Apple TV.
    What I have tried so far:
    Reconnecting to the network
    A reset of the AppleTV
    A restore of the AppleTV
    Each time I try any of the above steps the AppleTV will work for a few hours or maybe a day before it will fail to work again and I will need to take any of the above steps to reconnect. I can't even do the network test after it fails as it says it's unable to connect to the server.
    Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? I'm about ready to give up on the AppleTV and buy a chrome cast or Roku as I use streaming almost exclusively for content consumption instead of our horrible Dish network TV which I only use for sports I can't stream on the AppleTV.

  • My mac can see the network but won't connect to the server

    I have an intel Imac.  The network connect is working but very squirrelly.  I see most objects on the network.  I can see the server but it will not let me connect.
    I go to another mac and I can connect to the server.  So I think its my mac   10.7.5 is the OS

    Probably nothign to do with your iMac or OS X, have you attempted resetting your router? Also you haven't stated what messages you are getting or any other information. If this is at your work then I'd suggest contacting your IT support person, the connection to your network may be on their end.

  • ICloud email won't connect to the server

    icloud email does not work on my iPhone. It worked for a day or two, but now I get an error message that says "cannot get mail, connection to the server failed." I have deleted the account and reinstalled it to no avail. Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    Same here. I began getting the "cannot get mail ... Incorrect password" alert on both my iPhone 4s and iPad (3) about two days ago. Oddly, it will retrieve mail at random times, though yesterday it had not populated my phone for 22 hours, despite getting mail on my Mac. I've also noticed it no longer marks mail that ihas been read, consistently across all three.
    On both the iPad and iPhone I've gone into mail settings, clicked on the account tab, but then done nothing, and then watched it get mail. Something is definitely amiss with iCloud at this point.
