Safari won't open any page

I'm using 7.0.5 Safari on Maveriks

Chrome and other browsers - working good, no errors.
App Store and Updates - work well
No network issues.
Safari - clear cache and reset safari - didn't work.

apple extreme wifi router - work's well.
Other devices at home has internet on it, other macbook pro doesn't have a problem with safari.
in console - no errors
any page won't load in safari, just a white screen and loading progress..
What should I do?

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 behavior; 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.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
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 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 open private pages made in iweb

Safari won`t open private pages made in iweb, but it works in Firefox! Why is this happening! It even works in internet explorer! But in Safari it doesn`t, it just can`t load the page, the login dialog doesn`t show up, it just stand there trying to load the page! Please help?

Here is what finally worked for me based on a post I saw on another thread. Apparently the login.keychain file for the use is corrupted.
Trash the "login.keychain" file located in the Keychains in the users Home folder.
(Users/yourname/Library/Keychains/
Then access the site once more. It now works as expected. You will need to authenticate the new keychain file and grant access when needed for the website to use your login keychain.

Safari won't open a page

Hey!
I've got a big problem: My Safari wasn't able to open a page. So I decided to uninstall it. When I installed it again I still had the same problem as before:
Safari won't open a page. Even not google.de or google.com
Firefox works perfect, it's only Safari...
Is there anything wrong with the Internetoptions? I'm connected wireless with an airportExtreme since two weeks. I don't now if it was working before...
Anyone knows a solution? : )
Thank you...
Björn

ok, i've found the problem myself... The app piclens made the problem... now it's working fine : )

Safari won't open any pages since I downloaded McScan Beta V

I downloaded McScan's Beta version the other day from securemac. Since then, Safari won't open ANY pages at all, giving me the message, "Safari can't connect to server"
"Safari cant open the page http://aol.com/ because it could not connect to the server aol.com.
I dragged McScan to the trash, and still won't work. I also ran through the Safari Preferences, and made sure I had followed their suggestions, ".Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Security. Make sure that the checkboxes to use plug-ins, Java, and JavaScript are selected and that the "Block pop-up windows" checkbox is not selected." Still no luck.
Any idea how I can get Safari to work again?
Thanks,

Safari Won't Open Certain Pages

There are some pages that Safari won't open... just hangs. Here are the details:
1. 2 sites affected - https://www.airbnb.ca/ - https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action
2. Effects both 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and 2009 Mac Pro both completely updated
3. Opens fine with Chrome
4. Reset the browser settings and no extensions in use other than 1 password
5. They open fine in iPad Safari
6. Reset pram
Appears to be a Safari issue obviously.

Bee: Sorry for that. I'm obviously not talking about you at all. I'm a person who always tries to be very helpful. If I clicked in a thread and the guy posted a couple links saying that they wouldn't work it wouldn't even dawn on me to not click the link and tell the guy if they worked for me or not. Ultimately, a whack of people read the thread and couldn't be bothered to click and report--yet those people I'm sure will be the first to take the help. I'm not impatient about my issue here... honestly. Sorry if I came off unnapreciative in advance and was owly. If there's anything that I can ever do to help you I will anytime.
Klaus: Effects both 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and 2009 Mac Pro both completely updated ... what else were you looking for?
(for product specifics, I updated them after the post and could be the reason why they're not showing up. I listed them in the thread anyway. Maybe 2 times a charm??)

Safari won't open most pages

Safari Mavericks suddenly won't open many pages, including Apple's! Many posts on this, it's not just mine. Modem is working fine.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

Safari won't hold Home Page change

I change the homepage to Google, it stays maybe 2-3 times in future sign-ons, then reverts back to apple start page default. Why will Safari not hold a home page selection??

Thanks, Yes, I have run all the software updates, including the latest 10.5.2. I do not have any other browser other than Safari as a default. It will only hold my home page change for 2 or 3 logon's then reverts back to apple.com default page.
It does not do this with my wife's Macbook, just my Macbook Pro.
Why would a software update screw it up?

I'm connected to internet, but safari won't open any pages.

my ipad show's i'm connected to the internet with full signal, but it won't let me open a website or get email. i've turned the connection on and off, no luck. i've restored the ipdad to original settings, nothing. internet in our house works with computers, iphones, etc. i'm not sure what to try now, i've done everything the help site says too. suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
While the iPad shows you are connected to a wireless network, have you entered the email account information?
Go to Settings > Mail and either pick one of the preloaded email account providers, or enter your own account. Incoming and outgoing account information such as POP or IMAP for incoming, user ids, passwords. You can also check to see the port is set correctly for each.
With Safari, go to Settings > Safari and turn AutoFill OFF if it is not already. Tap the URL field at the top and enter the URL for your preferred home page.
See if that helps.

Safari will not open home page and other glitches since upgrade

Strange stuff happening since I did the Combo Upgrade 10.4.11. Safari will not open to my home page. I have used preferences to set the home page but closing Safari and restarting still opens a blank page with no URL in the address box. I also noticed that several pages I have opened that have log in fields don't allow tabbing to the next field. I have checked all the preferences and every thing seems right. I have trashed Safari and its preference folder, downloaded the upgrade and used Pacifist to reinstall Safari. I used Disk Utility to repair permissions. Still I can't can't get a home page to load. Before the reinstall, I synched with .Mac to save my bookmarks and synched again afterwards to bring them into the fresh install of Safari. What should I do now?

Here is a culmination of my searching and efforts that fixed this issue for me. I find it necessary to run Disk Utility more frequently.
1) Trash Safari preferences in all user accounts:
Computer/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
2) Empty trash
3) Move files from Input manager to desktop
/Users/YourUsername/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/InputManagers/
4) Restart computer
5) Close Safari if automatically opens on restart
6) Open disk utility: Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
7) Verify permissions
8) Repair permissions
9) Reopen Safari
10) Return Input Manager files from Step 3, ONE FILE AT A TIME from Desktop to Input Manager Folder and Restart between moves.

May Safari won´t open some pages

I´m on the edge to become a Mac-fan after being a long time PC (windows) user. Mac is supereasy to use. There are only some irritating details concerning my Safari. Some web-pages won´t open. Not only don´t the page open, but the page reminding me of the obvious (the page won´t open) opens slowly.
When this happens, I´m forced to use my laptop PC - NO PROBLEMS OPENING ANYTHING ON THE NET.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

"Spank me" no thankyou. ;~) "S" is pretty far from "T" but I will assume that's a typo.
ISP 4.2.2.1 leads us further afield. Hmmmnnnn.
I have 4.2.2.2 added also. I had no idea from the above that we might be dealing w an ISP issue.
I would contact your internet provider, mine in Earthlink, and see if you can get their server URLs. Or:
At Network Preferences, how many locations do you have? I have 4 of which I regularly use 2. Their servers seem to overload at pretty much random times.
Do an automatic set up, or retry some of the prior arrangements. Adding 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 will do no harm.
If this is where the real prob is, give yourself a virtual Green Star for really good research. At least 3 "attaboys."
If you would come back and sprinkle some Helpful Gold (2) @ 5 pts or Green (1) at 10 pts Stars, that would be nice. (See the bottom of Apple's emails re new posts to thread.)

Only Safari won't show home page image

Helo
Having problems with home page image showing in only Safari (
www.truthandlife.info ). May be a css problem, but I don't know...
Originally, we had to alter the drop down menu becasue it
wouldn't work on Safari, so a friend fixed that but that fix took
away the main image - he writes:
"I found some other information that suggested setting the
ClientTarget attribute to “uplevel” when you detect the
Safari or Opera browsers.
I went ahead and implemented that by creating a base class
called BasePage (in the App_Code folder) and made every page load
derive from it using the “Inherits” parameter. This
seemed to solve the problem on Safari (I don’t have Opera)
without affecting IE7. Note that all new pages you create need to
have the Inherits=”BasePage” tag set in their
<Page> element.
So all is good in that the submenus pop up as we would
expect…but there is a problem with the graphic on the default
page. The main image doesn’t load on the Safari browser
unless I remove that ClientTarget=”uplevel” statement.
If I remove it, then the menus don’t work."
===============
So does anyone know what might be the problem and/or fix?
Thanks
KB

Still trying of course - so
I redid that alternate masthead for ie5.5 and updated the
link - yes, now the ALTERNATE banner shows but NOT the image I
need, which DOES still show in other browsers. Only in Safari does
the alternate masthead now show, but not the main masthead needed.
Below is the code that directs the alternate image for ie 5.5
but why would this affect Safari?
=============
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
public partial class DefaultPage : BasePage
protected void Page_LoadComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (!IsCallback)
// IE 5.5 isn't able to render the dynamic menu items
correctly if
// the size of the header image is too large. To work around
this problem,
// IE 5.5 gets a different header image than the other
browsers.
if (Request.Browser.Id == "ie55")
mastheadImg.ImageUrl =
String.Format("~/Images/homepage/masthead9.jpg", Page.Theme != null
? Page.Theme : Page.StyleSheetTheme);
mastheadImg.Height = 206;
litHeaderHeight.Text = "206px";
===============
Coupled with the BASE page code in my previous post, maybe
there's a fix in one of these?
Any thoughts?

Safari won't open new pages from Google links

I'm a bit confused - I'm using Safari on my iMac and MacBook, both with OS 10.4.10, and want to open google links in new pages. This works fine on the MacBook, but not the iMac, even though I've checked the box "Open links from applications in a new window".
Do you think I need to reset Safari in some way?
Many thanks
Chris

...want to open google links in new pages. This works fine on the MacBook, but not the iMac, even though I've checked the box "Open links from applications in a new window".
That preference setting refers to opening links from other applications in a new window. For example, if you click on a link in a Word file displayed by Microsoft Word, or in an email displayed in the program Mail, the link will open in a new window in Safari.
To see the shortcuts for opening a link from a web page (e.g. Google) in a new window, go to Safari > Preferences, click on the Tabs section, and read the Command-key shortcuts listed at the bottom of the window. Exactly what those shortcuts are depends on your settings in the checkboxes above. (To see the difference, change some of the settings in the checkboxes and watch the shortcuts below change.)
I'm not sure what the difference is between the settings on your two Macs. I'd go over the preference settings to get an idea of why they're behaving differently.
