Safari won't open Apple home page last 2 days!

I hav an pad original with 5.1.1. iOS and latest safari for iOS 5.1.1.
When I go to the Apple page  I instantly get alert:
"Safari cannot open the page because of  too many redirects."
I turrned off iPad fully, Restarted it but no help. I can view Apple.com with other browsers BTW no problem.
Any thoughts? Apple care is stumped. As am I.
Thanks
Steven

I am still using Snow Leopard so this fix doesn't work for me as there is no option to restore windows when quitting (I currently cannot upgrade to Lion as my memory isn't sufficient). Since dowloading 5.1, whenever I launch Safari it opens with a blank window instead of my homepage - plus it's VERY hit and miss as to what page I'm going to get when I open a new window or tab.
Any ideas or will I have to go back to OS 10.6.7 just so I get have my browser opening at my homepage?

  • New macbook pro safari won't open Apple support pages!

    It is so odd.  I can open every other site in Safari EXCEPT the Apple Support pages!  It's a brand new Macbook Pro.  Any ideas???

    To clarify, it looks like if I search something via Google it won't let me see any of those support page results.  It does work via a Yahoo search, but no Googlel

  • Safari will not open to home page

    I down loaded Lion and now Safari will not open to home page and preferences are set for home page?

    Thanks, At least I know I am not the only one. I have had nothing but problems down loading Lion. First I did not have enough memory so I spent $128 for up grade to 4 GB. Then I down loaded Lion and it crushed my disc and spent another $181 to up grade to a T1. Then down loaded Lion to find out a lot of bugs with it. For what was to cost me $29.95 end up costing me $339.
    You would think I would learn by now not to up grade at once. I am one of the dummies that spent $699 for the first iPhone for them too drop the price weeks later.
    If I figure out answer I will post for you asap.

  • Safari won't open the download page...any reason why

    I have purchased a monthly subscription to acrobat XI, but safari won't open the necessary page. it tells me I don't have the APP etc. No idea what it means

  • Safari 4 can't open Apple Home Page?

    Starting yesterday when Safari 4 top sites page showed me a star on the Apple Home Page thumbnail, I go to www.apple.com and get a "Slow Script" error message telling me that S4 is no longer responding for that reason. What's up with that?

    Several times a day I get this message "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.apple.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding."
    Is it me, or is there something horrifically wrong with Safari? And before anyone asks, yes, I did restart/update/reload/redownload/delete cache/toss plist/start completely over...
    ...I've had so much trouble with this computer it's ridiculous. I've wiped it clean and restarted from scratch so many times it's wrong...

  • 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 open financial portfolio page

    I can't access the financial portfolio.  A page comes up saying Safari can't open this page. I have followed their help to steps with no result.

    So if multiple browsers won't open the same page, is it necessarily a browser issue? I think the website's end is where the problem would be.

  • 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:

    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 open certain web pages

    Hi,
    I can't get Safari to open certain web pages. This has only been the case for the last week or so, I could happily view them before.
    2 examples are : www.facebook.com and www.quaysws.co.uk
    can anybody please help, it just seems a bit weird...

    I just got this link, http://www.quaysws.co.uk/flash/page1.php,
    to open in both Safari and Firefox. Mind you at the same time, I cannot get Apple.com to open in Safari I'm running Leopard with Safari 3.0.4. Whoa Safari just decided that Apple.com does exist and opened it without me first having to restart the computer. Safari definitely has some bugs but you may want to make sure that you don't have any 3rd party add-ons set up and you may have to reinstall.

  • Safari 4.0.3 - Apple Home Page takes ages to load

    Hi Everyone,
    Whenever I start up Safari at its default home page (www.Apple.com/starpage) it takes a couple of minutes for the page to load completely.
    Once the page has (finally) loaded, I get the below message in the status bar at bottom of the Safari Window:
    One error in opening the page. For more information choose Window > Activity
    On opening the Window > Activity Dialog box, the below error message is shown:
    http://c2c738.r.axf8.nethttp://images.apple.com/mr/a.gif?a=C2C738&v=1 A server with the specified hostname could not be found

    I have tried clearing Safari History, cache etc but to no avail.
    Any idea how I can get cure this problem?
    Many thanks in advance!

    It's a web site error, not a Safari problem. The best you can do is notify the webmaster for Apple.com and ask them to fix that specific error.
    Golden Shoes,
    Re your above advice, you were spot on!!
    I sent feedback to Apple.com about this problem script yesterday and to Apple's credit, they appear to have fixed it. No more inordinate waiting for the page to load any more!
    Thank you so much. My thanks also to everyone else who contributed with their knowledge and experience, it is most appreciated.
    BadgerDog, I hope that your problem may also have been resolved by the recent fix from Apple.

  • Safari does not open in home page.

    Safari does not open with the "home page" set in preferences.  Always opens with the last page viewed prior to quitting.

    I have the same problem (10.7.2., Safari 5.1.2 on an iMac). In System>Preferences>General >Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. (Uncheck). The box is unchecked. In Safari>Preferences>General I have the following settings:
    New windows open with: Same page
    New tabs open with: Same page
    Homepage: http://www.nytimes.com/
    Whenever I open Safari I get a blank page (and I have to click on the Home Page icon). This has never happened in my Power PC with Lion (now sadly in computer heaven) nor my MacBook with Snow Leopard. Closing windows individually or closing  Safari itself doesn't matter. Re-opening Safari gets me a blank page. Any advice?

  • 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 Open BlueSocket Login Page

    Hi
    At University, we use a system called BlueSocket to log into our wireless networks. It basically pops up a webpage when a browser opens and i type my login details in. I am using Black MacBook, Snow Leopard and Safari 4.0.3 but when i connect to the network, i get assigned an IP, then try to launch Safari, it tries to load my home page and not the BlueSocket login page.
    Does anyone know what would be causing this? I don't have any proxies set. I spoke to the Helpdesk at University, but they don't deal very well with Macs...but they said it should work fine with Safari, and it does work fine with my iPhone.
    Thanks
    Joe

    I'm having a similar problem when I visit my mom at the hospital. The hospital network redirects you to a login page when you open a new browser on their network. Same as most places now - whether hotels or Starbucks or wherever. I got on once with Safari, and now neither Safari nor Firefox will redirect again. I tried it in Windows running Parallels and it didn't work, either. I finally rebooted with BootCamp and it works fine in IE, Safari, and Firefox. I restarted back into Snow Leopard, and nada.
    I hate it when Windows does something better than Mac. Anybody know why this is happening?

  • Safari does not open to home page or last page visited

    When I open Safari, it does not load to my homepage, or to my last visited page.  Instead, it loads to a page, which I visited a number of days ago.  Does anybody have any ideas why this may be?

    Ok...
    Try emptying the Safari cache.  Command + Option + E or from the Safari menu bar. (A "Reset" does not empty the cache).
    Also, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    And try restarting your Mac.
    If nothing helped, quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For LIon:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

  • Why would Safari try to insert an s, as in https, into the facebook log in.  Safari won't open the secure page. Advice?

    Why would Safari try to insert an s, as in https, into the facebook log-in page.  "Safari can't connect to this secure page."  I've checked preferences and cannot find a reason for this change to the regular facebook address. Safari 5.0.5 on MacbookAir.  I can't even download the updated software.

    If you leave your session idle for a while, the site might log you out due to inactivity, but... I wouldn't trust that, either.
    Usually your bank will have a link, menu, or some other way to log out. Certainly that is the best thing if you can do it. Sometimes if a site is not fully compatible with Firefox its style rules will result in a jumbled layout. You can disable all the style rules and view the site in a plainer layout to see whether you can spot the missing link. To do that:
    tap the Alt key > View menu > Page Style > No Style
    (The tab will remain unstyled going forward. You can use the same menu to reapply the page's style sheets later.)
    Also, if you want to break the connection between Firefox and your banking session, you can clear your cookies for the bank site. This won't necessarily have any effect on your banking session ''on the server'' but should make it impossible for someone to use your Firefox to do anything in that session. To clear cookies for the current site, you can use the Page Info dialog. Here are 3 ways to open it:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * click the padlock on the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then reload the page and the site should behave as though you are not logged in.
