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.

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 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).

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.
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 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.

I'm using Windows 8.1 and the browser won't load any web page. I downloaded the latest one from the website. Any help would be great. All other browsers work.

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

My MacBook Pro will not load any web pages. Safari opens but when I click on top sites or type in a website it will start but not get past half of the address before stopping and going no further. I have restarted and restarted in safe boot and still no change. I'm am connected to the internet wirelessly and my iPad mini is connecting to the internet wirelessly fine, so I think the internet is fine. What can I try next?
Thanks

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.

After I boot up from standby, Firefox won't load any web pages

If I let the computer go into standby on it's own, once I start it up again and open Firefox, it won't load any webpages...the wireless icon in the taskbar is showing connection, but nothing happens other than the address bar on Firefox says "loading"

I had this problem too. Running 32 bit Vista on a Toshiba Satellite U305 laptop. When you fold the lid it doesn't matter if Firefox is running or not, when you open it and the system wakes up, then Firefox 7.0.1 doesn't work any longer. Firefox either will not load if it wasn't running when the system went to sleep or it will soon hang if it was running. I started having this problem 2 weeks ago and have since then been uninstalling and reinstalling software that recently updated, checking configurations etc of ZoneAlarm, AVG, Acronis, etc. but nothing I did seemed to resolve the problem. Then this morning I was about to rebuild my system and remembered something I did a couple of weeks ago, install iTunes to support a used iPhone I was given.
I decided to try removing iTunes before undertaking a rebuild and this fixed the problem. Now that I think about it, I installed iTunes on this laptop when it was new and had to remove it because it slowed it down so much. It looks like they resolved a lot of iTunes performance degradation over the years but iTunes still appears to slow your system down and obviously, now also stops Firefox from working. Whose fault is it, Microsoft, Firefox or iTunes? Good luck having them work it out :-). Removing iTunes resolved my own problem. I can live without iTunes but not without Firefox :-)
Note: When the problem occurs, firefox.exe is running in the task manager but you can't kill it. Another problem for the research team. My own research found that MS Vista turns out to be one of the few OS's in the world that doesn't always provide for killing a process. (Lucky me for buying a laptop that has no XP drivers and doesn't warrant the expense of upgrading to 7). Reason for the kill problem? From what I understand, a kill instruction requested of Vista has it asking an application for permission before doing so. Problem is, hung applications rarely reply "sure go ahead".
///// UPDATE:////////
After 12 hours and 4 iterations of putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up, the problem has now recurred. So uninstalling iTunes is not the solution (although it seemed to help at first). Sorry if this confused anyone. My plan now it to regress to an older version of Firefox and see if that fixes the problem. However, I probably need a fresh install anyway after 3 years of overcrowding.

I just updated to 3.6.11 and now firefox won't load any web page

I just updated to 3.6.11 and now firefox won't load any webpage it
just times out I tried diableing add-ons no difference. I't on internet exploers now. Tried rebooting.

Do you use McAfee Antivirus/Firewall/Security products? McAfee released a security update that is blocking Firefox 3.6.11. This should be cleared up with the next McAfee update.

Firefox won't load any web pages but my other browser will

i updated to firefox beta. It ran for one day. Since then it loads a blank white page and won't go to any web sites. I don't get an error message or anything. It just sits there.

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20cannot%20load%20websites%20but%20other%20programs%20can?s=won%27t+load+pages&r=2&as=s
This was the problem with mine. I had to remove mozilla firefox from my trusted programs in my antivirus firewall settings and then open firefox... it added it back in. The problem occured when my AVG updated.

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?

These files are common to all of the documentation CD's I need. These files opened correctly prior to the Lion/Safari 5 upgrade.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated

I''m sorry, but I don't understand your question at all.
This is from the router's setup guide:
3.2 Quick Installation Guide
With a Web-based utility, it is easy to configure and manage the TD-W8980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router. The Web-based utility can be used on any Windows, Macintosh or UNIX OS with a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari.
1. To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser and type the default address http://192.168.1.1 in the address field of the browser.
How would Safari know how to get to the router's web server if you didn't enter the IP address in the browser's address field?

Safari Won't Load Router Web Page

Safari 7.0.3
OS X 10.9.2
Mac Mini 2009
I recently got a new router: TP-Link TD-W8980
If I enter the router's IP address into Safari, I see the router's login page.
After I log in, all I see is a blank page.
If I close the blank page and type in the router's IP address again (before the session times out), the router's web page displays normally.
If I use Chrome, the behavior is normal.
Why do I have to close the page and reopen in order for Safari to properly display the router web pages?
