Safari won't load pages after latest java update

I did the java update last night and now there are a lot of web pages that don't load. I also tried Firefox and Opera so I believe it is the latest Java update not something else.
Is there a log some where that I can check to see if there are any error messages or other indications of what is actually happening?
Java for MAC OS X 10.6 Update 1

HI,
If you are running 10.4.8 then you need to update your system software to 10.4.11. And make sure you have the 2009-002 Security Update installed. Open System Preferences/Software Updatess - Installed Updates. Make sure that update is there. If not go here and download and install ...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_PPC
Then repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
And ... from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences - Security.
Where you see: Web content make sure the top 3 buttons are selected.
And ..
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.

Safari won't load and I can't update my software, ie., I get an error message. What can I do to fix this?

You can't install Safari 3 on your 10.3.9 OS.
You must use the DVD installer to re-install the older version of Safari found on it.
You can update your operating system buy purchasing Tiger (10.4) and get a more modern version of Safari.

Safari will not load pages after logging into certain sites

Mac OS X 10.4.11, Safari 3.1 running on a Power Macintosh G4 "Quicksilver" 2002. All software updates are installed.
After I log into certain web sites (Apple Support Discussions being one of them), Safari simply stops loading pages. It will "try" briefly but each page comes up blank. In fact, they don't even appear to download.
This has been going on for a while now. I can't even remember when it started. I have done fresh installations of Mac OS X on to a clean disk to try and solve the problem. This has not resulted in any improvement. I am not using any extensions or modifiers.
As an experiment, I've tried a few Webkit Nightly Builds. Those did not work any better.
On some sites, such as eBay, Safari will put an empty file on the desktop. eBay is a prime example--after I sign in, an empty file called eBayIsapi.dll appears on the desktop.
Seemingly this has been reported other places. What I didn't find was a fix. Is there anything that can be done to resolve this problem?

I've just given up after several versions of Safari doing the same thing. It seems to be a bad interaction with Websense web filtering blocking some things that Safari expects to be able to download and process.
I don't even use Safari any more because of this.

Safari won't display page after loading

So the latest update of Safari is a few bricks short of a load...
On many pages, I get a blank page after Safari finishes loading them in. I thought it was internet problems, but when I resize the window even slightly, the content appears.
Obviously something not right...

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Enable plugins.
Quit then relaunch Safari. If pages load as they should, folllow the instructions for troubleshooting.
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If you have anti virus software installed, that could be the culprit also.

Just upgraded to Mavericks and now Safari won't load pages

Hi, I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 yesterday. Prior to downloading the new operating system Safari was working perfectly.
After I finished downloading Mavericks I tried to open Safari but I have kept seeing a message, either the page was not responding or "Safari cannot connect to the server."
My computer says that my Wifi is working, but still I cannot access any webpages. I can only access them through my ethernet connection.

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 documents 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, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Safari won't load pages but Firefox does.

My problem seems to be a common one lately. Safari seems to not want to load any pages that have java script on them including the apple.com site. Firefox does this without hesitation. This problem had been intermittent until the recent java update which has now made Safari unusable.
Will reverting back to the previous java version potentially work, and if so how is this accomplished.
I am not looking for everyone's speculations as to what MAY be the cause, I would like a definitive answer as to how to get Safari functional at minimum. If someone has been able to figure out a proper fix, then only that person should reply so as to keep others from having to pour over multiple posts of information that are frustrating at best.
I thank in advance whomever can provide a proper response.

HI,
Try this. Go to Applications/Utilities then launch Java Preferences.
Select the General tab.
Click the button next to: In their own process
Quit Java Preferences and relaunch Safari.
This is working for some users, others not but might be worth a try and you can always change it back.
I am not looking for everyone's speculations as to what MAY be the cause
Everyone's configurations are different. We don't speculate. We troubleshoot. We can only go on the information that you give us.
You changed your profile from Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.6. Which Mac OS X are you running??
If you are running 10.5.5, you need to update your system software to 10.5.8. You can use the v10.5.8 Combo Update

Safari won't load pages

I'm running 4.0.5 and off and on over the last few months it would just stop loading pages. I have it open up to the thumbnail view of the top sites and whether I would click on one of those or click on a site in the bookmark bar, it just shows it thinking. It doesn't freeze, I don't get the beach ball, it just doesn't load the page. As I mentioned, it has done this off and on for the last several months but it usually fixed itself if I let it sit for a few minutes. Over the last two days, it doesn't matter how long I leave it sit while trying to load a page, it just doesn't work.
Ideas?

Welcome to the forums!
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit. Control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode)
Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
Adding 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.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS 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 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
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 won't load pages, but internet connection is good

For the past 24 hours, whenever I try to reply to an e-mail, or create a new one, mail suddenly crashed. It is very reliable in this way; there are no exceptions. The the newest update/change to my configuration was the update of the 10.4.4 system stuff from Apple, followed a few days later by an update for the 15 in G4 Powerbook battery management.
Also, though not related to mail, the Software Update function does not work - "Can't connect to Update Server", and Safari will not load any pages - "CAn't connect to server...". However, Network Diagnostics says that I am connected to the internet, as does Firefox - it loads pages just fine! All other computers in our home network, including my G5 Tower, are performing and access the internet just fine.

Bump
Could this have something to do with the Software Update error discussed in OS X system board? Various sites are off-limits (Network timeout error) such as E-bay; Microsoft etc. while others work fine.
Tried a full re-install etc but nothing - no non Apple apps, clean 10.4.3; purged, repaired etc etc

Powerbook G4 (OS X 10.4.11) won't boot up after latest security update

My G4 failed to reboot when restarted after latest security updtate.
The gray screen with apple logo and rotating gear stays on forever.
I tried booting in safe mode but same thing occurred.
I was able to boot in single user mode and run fsck -yf and it ran fine.
Then when I tried to boot again, same thing all over again.
I am guessing there must be some problems with new updates in the start-up folder or something. But I am not sure how to get rid of the files related to the new updates. Your help would be really appreciated. Oh, I was also able to run disk utilities application when I inserted Mac OS X installation dvd and booted from it. Then when I try to boot from HD, the same thing all over again...

I just spent a good 3 hrs or so trying to figure out why my imac running os x 10.4.11 wasn't rebooting after I downloaded the latest security update 2009-001. I finally got it running again after browsing the many helpful comments from past rebooting issues. Here are the steps:
1. On another computer, you'll have to download the security update that you believe froze your mac. In my case it was the 2009-001 update.
2. Save this file to a usb key, or in my case, to my LACIE backup drive.
3. Once downloaded, connect the USB key or backup drive to your mac.
4. Insert your install disc that came with your mac. (I installed disc 1)
5. Power down your mac. ( I did so by pressing and holding the power button on the back)
6. Press and hold the 'C' key on your keyboard as you restart your mac.
7. Let go of 'C' as the apple logo and spinning wheel come on. The start-up disc should start to run.
8. Choose your language.
9. At the top of your desktop you'll see 'Terminal'. Start it.
10. at the prompt, type "mount" to see a list of your volumes (in my case, the volume was LACIE).
11. type "find /Volumes/nameofyourUSB/*.dmg" Ex. "find /Volumes/LACIE/*.dmg" (This step will give the path of your update).
12. type "hdiutil attach /Volumes/nameofyourUSB/pathoftheupdate/SecUpd2009-001Intel.dmg" (Note the space after hdiutil AND attach)
13. type "/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Security\ Update\ 2009-001/SecUpd2009-001Intel.pkg -target /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD" (Note the spaces again. Took me a few tries before I finally got it. If you get it right, you'll notice your hard-drive start to be active. Let it do it's thing before you exit Terminal.
14. Exit Terminal.
15. Go to 'Utilities' at the top of the desktop, select 'Startup Disk', and choose your OS (in my case, OS X 10.4.11).
Good luck!

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.

Safari will not load pages after flash update yesterday

I am trying to access pages like CNN.com...with the nice background image on the home page...it does not load the images. Also, articles like "34 sports photos" do not load the flash player so I can see the photos.
how do I fix that or revert?

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Safari won't load pages from search results

Weird problem. Using Safari 8.0.3, I do a search using www.google.com or just search in the address bar. Google returns the results, no problem. However, if I try to follow a link by clicking on it, Safari will seemingly try to load it for a while, then I'll get a failed to open page error with Safari saying it can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. It can be reliable sites like amazon or yelp or others. If I try the exact same thing in Chrome, no issues.
Anyone seen anything like this? Frustrating as I'm going to have to stop using Safari until I get this figured out. Btw, I don't have any traces of a virus or anything as I don't have ads popping up or anything like that.

Firefox won't load pages after a while when viewing tumblr.

In both versions 6 and 7 if I'm looking at Tumblr or any site that has any java or flash, after a few minutes pages will not load. I've disabled all add-ons and plug-ins but the behavior is the same. I've reverted to using version 5.0 and everything works fine.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Won't load pages after restart

When Safari 5.0 crashes or I close it, it often takes up to several minutes for web pages to load after i restart it. I can try to load several pages at a time, and none of them work until all of a sudden they all load, as if Safari isn't connected to the internet until a while after it's restarted (the internet connection is not affected in other programs).
Has anyone else seen this?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Since Safari is crashing post a crash report so we can try and help.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Now *copy/paste the entire contents* of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
