Safari Won't Load Some 'https:' Pages

For the past week or so, my old trusty G3 (running 10.4.11, all software updates current) is having a problem with certain https: pages - typically ones that are brought up right after logging into a service like AOL Webmail (and unfortunately Apple Discussions, too). What is supposed to happen is the interim page gets processed and then automatically goes on to a "welcome" page or similar. What actually happens is the page either loads fully and then nothing, leaving a blank page leading nowhere and without completing the login sequence, or stalls on loading (with a half-done progress bar... indefinitely).
Checked all my network proxy settings - they're OK. Can access all standard http and most other https pages just fine.
Cleared cache - no effect. Reset Safari - no luck. Shut down, restarted, etc... still have the problem.
Downloaded & installed Firefox 2.0.0 on the G3. With Firefox, I had no problems at all processing the pages. So it doesn't seem to be the target webpages or the network connection. However, Firefox is slooow on the G3 - so I'd rather use Safari.
Other Macs of mine running 10.4.11 & latest Safari are showing no problems of this type (or else I wouldn't be writing this).
Any suggestions? Any other place I need to be looking or anything else I need to hunt down / delete / reinstall / fix?

You have already done some of this, but try:
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.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

  • 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?

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

  • Safari will only load secure https pages

    Just encountered an issue today where safari will only load secure https pages.  Any page that doesn't begin with https gets the "safari can't connect to the server" error.  I can connect to all pages using firefox or chrome on the same system.  I have emptied cache and reset safari except for password info.  Still no luck.  Using Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2) on OSX 10.6.8

    Gah nevermind my nephew was using my account and kept clicking the littlesnitch notifications to make them go away.  Little bugger managed to block everything on port 80 http.  Time to set up a guest account.

  • Safari won't load some images (after upgrade to Mavericks from Lion)

    Hi,
    I've noticed that since I upgraded my OS from Lion to Mavericks, Safari won't load all images on certain websites.
    I've tried loading the same pages on my daughter's MacBookPro (she upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks) and everything works just fine.
    We cross checked the Safari preferences and everything is identical.
    Below are two pictures, the first one taken from my computer, the second one from my daughter's. As you can see, in the first photo the image won't display, while it's been perfectly loaded in the second photo.
    Here's the website: http://blog.alice.tv/berengario/2013/11/16/trasmissione-su-arturo-tv/
    I've tried opening the same page on Firefox, and all images are perfectly displayed.
    Could you please help me?
    Thank you for your support!
    Kind regards,
    Leo

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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 the test.

  • Safari won't load some pages

    Some of my most used pages won't load in Safari, many state to enable Java in the preferences but it is already enabled.
    If I use a proxy server I can get the first page but any links won't work.
    This issue arose after test MacKeeper and I am concerned that programs has deleted something. Also all my Top SIte webpage icons in a new page have disappeared.
    Can anyone suggest how to resolve this.
    After running MacKeeper my desk top picture also disappeared. So I believe this programs has deleted some key files.
    Any help with this would be welcome.
    Thank you

    I have a problem that I just moved to Europe and my OSX is being shipped by Ocean. So I can't reinstall until it arrives.
    I believe I uninstalled MacKeeper, but I am not 100% sure all the elements of this program are gone. I tried to find any files in the Activity Monitor, but none are obviously named. If there is any information which file to look for that could be hiding on the computer it would be great.
    The only issues I have found to now is the inability of Safari, Firefox and Opera to access some webpages; they won't load unless I load via a proxy server.
    Any ideas welcome.
    Thank you

  • Safari won't show some web pages properly.

    After re-loading OS X 10.3.9 on my Powerbook g4 1.25ghz, 1.25memory and updating all updates. Safari now won't load Facebook completely. All other web pages seem to be loading OK. I usually use Firefox but I can't seem to get ANY version of that web browser to load now. So I'm stuck with Safari that won't load Facebook.
    I've tried deleting caches and Safari prefs…didn't work.

    Ok..
    That's an outdated version of Safari for sure and explains why web pages aren't rendering as they should for you.
    Click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...
    Hopefully the Software Update will bring your Mac up to speed. Make sure and restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
    In case you aren't aware, you can run Tiger or Leopard on your PBookG4.
    Tiger v10.4 minimum requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1514
    Minimum requirements for Leopard v10.5 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3759
    You are running an outdated Mac OS X, v10.3. Apple released Panther in 2003. Unless you upgrade the Mac OS X and Safari, you will continue to have problems using Facebook and other sites as well on the PBook.

  • IMac won't load some web pages

    I just got wireless internet out on my farm and hooked up my fairly new IMac G5 to it. When I connect it directly to the antennae (not through a router) everything works great. When I hook it through a router ( I have used linksys wireless g and a netgear wgr613 v6) the Imac will only load certain web pages. e.g. It will load Apple.com, but won't play the Macworld keynote address. It won't load Ebay at all. It will load cnn.com and others just fine. When I bypass the router, everything loads and works. I have also taken the IMac to work and hooked up to our office ethernet through a router, multiple wireless access points, and hubs, and the IMac works great all of the time. I tried the linksys first and it works for a little while and then fizzles away to nothing working. I then upgraded firmware and it worked a little while longer before dying. The netgear works all of the time for some, but not everything. When I hookup my Windows XP notebook, it works all of the time on either router. I have tried both routers either wireless, or wired, with the same results. Thanks....
    iMac G5 iSight   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Yes, that did it. I put in the two DNS numbers for my ISP and that solved the problem. Still don't understand why that caused it, but yet worked sometimes. Oh well.....Thank you

  • Safari can't load some web pages since Lion upgrade

    Safari recently stopped loading my bank web site after I put in my log in informatoin. I leaves the log in page and then never goes to the next page. This has started after loading Lion. I have no issue when using Firefox. Only Safari. Any suggestions.

    Safari recently stopped loading my bank web site after I put in my log in informatoin
    Could be a corrupted keychain.
    Quit Safari. Open Keychain Access. Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the bank keychain and the Safari Forms Autofill keychain.
    Relaunch Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
    Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
    Now click the Privacy tab. Click: Details. Delete the web address for the bank click Done.
    Now to your bank's site. Login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain, click Yes when prompted.

  • Safari won't open some secure pages

    It's not just Safari, though - Firefox, Chrome, Opera.
    It's not just my iMac either - MacBook Pro *AND* iPad.
    Some secure sites simply won't open.  It looks like they load (the timer thing goes through the URL) but blink - no page. Just a blank browser window.
    Any clues??
    I've tried reinstalling browsers, trashing preferences, turning off all security measures - pretty much anything you can think of.  OS is 10.8.3, browsers are all updated to most recent versions.
    I'm stumped.  It wouldn't be a big deal except for one page that I NEED to get to for my job. I can't keep running over to my neighbor's house and using IE on his Windows 7 PC - not only is it irritating him, but it's making me crazy that something that works so effortlessly on his crappy PC won't work AT ALL on my Macs!
    HELP!

    3 devices - they all connect using the same router/modem ?
    can you connect at neighbouring house using ipad or macbook pro ? - that would maybe confirm the issue being with your connection.

  • Safari Won't Load my Home Page

    Safari has been working fine never since switching to OS 10.9.1, albeit a little slow in loading pages, but that's not my complaint.
    I have my home page set and it used to load with no problem. All of a sudden whenever I start Safari, all I get is an empty tab. I've checked and reset my URL numerous times but it will not load, nor will any other site I tried as a home page. When I manually select a bookmark they all load without a problem, including that of what I would like as my home page.
    Any ideas as to what's up with this issue? Thanks.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. It does nothing but produce human-readable data about the state of your computer. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only run the test in safe mode, proceed anyway.
    If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clickinganywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    clear; shopt -s extglob; Fb='%s\n\t(%s)\n'; Fm='\n%s:\n\n%s\n'; Fs='\n%s: %s\n'; PB="/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print"; Pm () { [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(sed 's/^/   /' <<< "$o") && printf "$Fm" "$1" "$o"; }; Pc () { o=$(egrep -v '^[[:blank:]]*($|#)' "$2"); Pm "$1"; }; Pp () { o=$($PB "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); Pm "$1"; }; Ps () { o="${o##+( )}"; [[ "$o" -ne 0 ]] && printf "$Fs" "$1" "$o"; }; a=$(id | grep -w '80(admin)'); r=1; [[ "$a" ]] && { sudo true; r=$?; }; { [[ "$a" ]] || echo $'No admin access\n'; [[ "$a" && "$r" -ne 0 ]] && echo $'No root access\n'; system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | sed '8!d;s/^ *//'; o=$(system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | sed '5,6!d'); fgrep -q P <<< "$o" && o=; Pm "POST"; o=$(nvram boot-args | awk '{$1=""; print}'); Ps "boot-args"; o=$(($(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{sub("\\.",""); print $2}')/256)); o=$((o>=1024?o:0)); Ps "Pageouts (MiB)"; s=( $(sar -u 1 10 | sed '$!d') ); [[ ${s[4]} -lt 90 ]] && o=$(printf 'User %s%%\t\tSystem %s%%' ${s[1]} ${s[3]}) || o=; Pm "Total CPU usage" && o=$(ps acrx -o comm,ruid,%cpu | sed '2!d'); Pm "Max %CPU by process (name, UID, %)"; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); Pm "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); Pm "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); Pm "Inserted libraries"; for f in crontab fstab launchd.conf sysctl.conf; do Pc $f /etc/$f; done; Pc "hosts" <(sed '1,10d' /etc/hosts); Pc "User crontab" <(crontab -l); Pc "User launchd" ~/.launchd; o=$(find {,/u*/lo*}/e*/periodic -type f -mtime -10d); Pm "Modified periodic scripts"; Pp "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; Pp "User login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; Pp "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); Ps "Restricted user files"; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {/,}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB\ :CFBundleIdentifier "$d/Info.plist") || ID="No bundle ID"; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|\.hpio|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf "$Fb" "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); Pm "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); Pm "Unsigned shared libraries"; o=$(system_profiler SPFontsDataType | egrep "Valid: N|Duplicate: Y" | wc -l); Ps "Font problems"; for d in {/,}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}*; do o=$(ls -A "$d" | grep -vw \.DS_Store); Pm "$d"; done; o=$(ls /L*/L*/Dia*/*.panic | wc -l); Ps "Panics"; o=$(ls /L*/L*/Dia*/*.c* | tail); Pm "System crash logs"; o=$(ls L*/L*/Dia* | tail); Pm "User crash logs"; [[ "$r" -eq 0 ]] && { o=$(sudo profiles -P); Pm "Profiles"; o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); Pm "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); Pm "Login hook"; Pc "Root crontab" <(sudo crontab -l);}; o=$(syslog -F bsd -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail -n25 | awk '/:/{$4=""; $5=""; print}'); Pm "Kernel messages"; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; exit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
    The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
    You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window.
    When you post the output, you might see in your browser the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the output on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may offer you advice based on the output of the script. They speak only for themselves and I don't necessarily agree with their views.

  • Safari won't load some sites but will open others

    It just started today. I tried opening a site inside 4shared.com and it won't open. It worked yesterday but it doesn't work today. It gives me a blank page and kept on tittering the entire time. I already updated my Mac's software. Nothings change.
    Can somebody help me out?

    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.
    As Guest, test. 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.
    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 some 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.) 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.

    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?

    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?

  • 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.
    In a browser try http://17.254.0.91
    and report back
