Safari won't load new web sites after one or two are viewed

I open Safari, view my homepage, go to another website, then when I try to go to another site after that, Safari won't load it. The curser is still a black arrow, the new address in the address bar has the blue loading stripe on it that only fills the address 1/4 of the way and no further. I have to quit Safari and then reopen it to go to another site. Also, it won't quit. I click quit and get the spinning ball for a long time so I have to Force Quit.
Today I updated Safari to 3.2.3 I was running 3.2.1. I am on Mac OS 10.4.11. I thought maybe the update would fix this problem. But it didn't.
Any help for this pretty computer illiterate user would be most appreciated!!

Hey Hawaiian Starman! Aloha!
Thanks so much for trying to help. I looked at Joe's problem and your reply to go to OnyX. I clicked on the link. Am I supposed to download something, or just work off that site? I clicked on the icon that said maintenance. It opened a window that had the following boxes and the Xs are the ones that were preselected.
Maintenance: (X) Repair Permissions
Execute Maintenance Scripts
Cleaning: (X) System Cache
(X) Application Cache
(X) Fonts Cache
(X) Logs and CrashReporter
(X) Temporary items
Rebuild:
(X) Launch Services
dlyd's shared cache
Display of folders content
Spotlight Index
Mail-mailboxes Index
The Xs are the defaults I guess. But I wasn't able to deselect any and choose another?
Hey Hawaiian Starman, I think Apple should have you on their payroll! You are sweet to help!
Many thanks for your help and patience.

  • 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.

  • Firefox won't load any web site under my login, if I use another account it works fine, this problem start with 7.01 update. I have 8.0 now, other browser works fine with no problem.

    unable to load any web site, no error message, just a blank page.
    safari and chrome work fine, in fact I am using chrome to type this up. This problem only limited to my account, I have created other account and firefox work as it should with no problem. I am unsure with else to clear to get firefox working again.

    Update: This is NOT just related to "Yahoo" pages, while this problem first began with some of my Yahoo pages, it is now also happening with other NON Yahoo things I want to load up. Like Twitter, or Links in emails that load Blank, or even images within emails that show up Blank in the preview part of Yahoo mail. It is NOT a Yahoo issue as I have loaded up my Yahoo Mail in IE and Chrome, and everything loads wonderfully. I can even load up sites like Twitter, and other websites that will NOT load in Firefox, but they come up fine in other Browsers.
    I have done the ONLY suggestion that came from Firefox Tech support, to load up FF in Safe Mode, but the problems still exists. I have uninstalled FF and re-loaded it, but the same problem is there.
    Does anyone have any ideas here at all? I can't seem to get any Fire Fox help, so I am reaching out to the community here to see if anyone can help.... Thank you !!

  • Can't send email; Safari won't load new pages

    Mountain Lion has broken mail (smtp) and Safari is so bad, I've had to install Chrome. Is anyone else getting the same kind of bad experience with 10.8? I have spoken to my ISP and my settings are ok according to them (O2), but I can't send emails from the Mail app. As for Safari, even half of Apple's own pages won't load. I'll be reverting to Lion from a cloned disc if I can't get this fixed.

    Exactly the same is happening to me and I'm with O2,all the settings are correct as well.I spoke to one of the tech people at o2 and they said they'd received about 30 calls about the same thing,thank God I've got Gmail and the iPhone works perfectly.This is rather serious,please Apple do something about it urgently

  • Safari won't load pages with pictures after installing Maverick

    I have an older iMac (2008), but it runs great and I have no problems with it.  Except now that i installed Maverick, now Safari doesn't work properly.  For most things, it works fine, then It will quit in the middle of a page.  Or, I have uploaded photos to the Walmart site and had pictures printed.  I can now access everything on that site except my photos and projects.  I get all the background ads and stuff, but not the actual photos.  That part of the page is blank.  There is not eeven the box with the question mark.  I kow they are still there because I can open them with Chrome.  I have tried all the tips I can find here, plus, I have tried Customer support for the website I am having problems with.  The CS people tell me it probably is a temporary problem, but I don't think they are Mac peaple.  So, far, nothing I have tried has helped.  I did have this same type of problem when I upgraded the last time, but was able to fix the problem.  Just wish I could remember how I fixed it.

    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. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    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?
    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, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. 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, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    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. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    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?
    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.

  • 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?
    Message was edited by: Buadhai - Correct spelling of Chrome.

    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?

    These files are common to all of the documentation CD's I need. These files opened correctly prior to the Lion/Safari 5 upgrade.

  • 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 Won't Load School Moodle Site

    I cannot access my school's Moodle site: http://moodle.cedarburg.k12.wi.us
    The site works at school and from other individuals computer on their home networks.
    Safari and Firefox seem to "hang" on two specific files.  Through Safari's "Activity" window, I've noticed that it hangs on two files entitled: "http://moodle.cedarburg.k12.wi.us/theme/EduMoodle2/styles.php" and "http://moodle.cedarburg.k12.wi.us/theme/standard/styles.php"
    I've tried deleting Safari and reinstalling it.  Nothing.
    Could it be my computer?  Running up-to-date on Snow Leopard on one computer and Lion on another (same problems w/ Safari)
    Could it be my network?  Using a Time Capsule
    Could it be my internet provider?  U-Verse
    Thanks for your help!

    I just got the site to load. It does take time.
    Do you have anti virus software installed or an app called Little Snitch?
    I am using OpenDNS which may have made the difference.
    It's to try if you want and free.
    Open System Preferences / Network. Select your connection on the left then click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Under DNS Servers:
    Type these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    Click + 208.67.222.222
    Click + 208.67.220.220
    Click Ok.
    Quit then relaunch Safari. Try that site.

    hi Madhusudan,
    According to your description, It is very hard to reproduce your issue. But from my experience, I suggest you can try those steps:
    1.Please try to create a new cloud service and try to deploy on Azure. I wanted to check whether the environment  issue.
    2.Please try to redeploy your project and disable RemoteAccess feature in your deployment process.
    Any results, please let me know free.

  • Help! Airport says I'm connected, but Safari won't load a web page!?

    Okay, I'm a newbie, I would really appreciate if someone can tell me what's going on here. I purchased an Airport Express unit, followed the instructions, set up my own network, and on BOTH my G4 Desktop and my G4 17" Powerbook, the "internet connect" recognized the Airport and says that I'm connected to the internet (full strength), but on both computers when I try to open a web page Safari gives me an error code "cannot connect to the internet." What gives? Anybody know? There doesn't seem to be a help topic about this particular problem....

    It sounds like it might be a DNS issue.

  • 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 after 10.5.3 Update

    Since installing 10.5.3 Safari won't load anything. I reset Safari, re-installed 10.5.3 and nothing. Other apps now open much more slowly. Firefox works fine; Safari won't work at all.

    I tried Disk Utility, repair permissions, etc, etc. Reinstall Safari? When you download Safari 3.1.1 and try to install it, it won't, and you get this message:
    You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer.
    Incidentally, there are no error messages when trying to open a page with Safari. It just hangs.
    I'm not going to keep screwing around with this unless someone comes up with a definitive fix. Safari never opened every web page I went to, anyway. I'll just use Firefox from now on. Incidentally, did you know the Phoenix and Chicago Apple stores don't use Safari on their floor models? That ought to tell you something.

Maybe you are looking for
