Safari won't open iWeb Password protected site

Safari just stalls out when I go to a password protected page I created in iWeb and posted on .Mac. I used FireFox and these pages open fine.

Yes it does. If this were only a one time deal it might be okay but I just tried to get onto my password site again this evening, after resetting Safari this morning, and once again it won't access. Gotta figure some other way to fix this, obviously resetting safari several times a day is unacceptable.

Iweb password protected site has errors

I password protected my site on iweb in the site inspector awhile ago (and published this change).
I go to Safari, and go to my site.
It asks for the password which I put in correctly. I don't check off "remember in my keychain."
It then displays another pop-up that says:
To view this page, you need to log in to area “idisk.mac.com” on web.mac.com:80.
I then enter in my username/password again, and it keeps popping this window open.
I usually end up quitting Safari to get rid of this error.
I tried these steps with just clicking Cancel instead of adding username/password on the idisk pop-up, and it still keeps popping the login window.
So, I tried to login my website on Firefox, and there was no problem whatsoever. I put the username/password in, and it went to the site.
What could be causing the error in Safari?

Have you tried deleting the iWeb preference file, com.apple. iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and then try again.
Additionally, the following was posted on the MacInTouch site yesterday. Although for a different problem the fact that it clears the MobileMe preferences it may help in your case.

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
Here is what fixed it. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme."
As they say, any port in a storm.

Logout of iWeb password protected site?

I have made a site and set it to be password protected.
As it stands now once you log in, the authentication is saved and you don't have to enter it again.
Is there a way to either log out via a button or link? Or even to be able to ask for a log in every time the page is visited?
Any help is much appreciated!

What is happening is a cookie is being added to the visitors browser that allows return visits without having to log in again. There may be a way to delete the cookie with javascript added to the site (I'm guessing here) and if anyone would know how it would by Cyclosaurus. Find a post by him and ask.

Downloading Lion has wiped out excel and word. Numbers can't open a password protected excel document

How do I access Excel on my Mac after downloading Lion. I get the message that Power PC applications are no longer supported. numbers won't open excel password protected documents

Well, check that this is Pro workstation, not Lion, and not MBP....
Rosetta / PowerPC is not supported, so you must also have an out of date version of Office like 2004 or earlier. 2008 and 2011 do work, though there may be 3rd party extensions or plug-ins that do not.

Safari won't open password protected websites.

I've been having this issue since I installed Leopard and it's been a real drag.
Safari won't open protected web directories. When I attempt to go to those sites Safari just makes me wait. Normally it should drop down the little username and password authentication box.
I've tried re-installing Safari from the Leopard CD ROM - same problem.
The problem doesn't seen to persist when I try from a Guest Account so I know it has to do with my particular account.
It seems many other users are having this issue as I've come across some other useful forums that address this issue: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=73170
I've tried all of these suggested fixes with no luck:
-Trash the "login.keychain" file located in the Keychains in the users Home folder. (Users/yourname/Library/Keychains/)
-Repairing permissions in Disk Utility
-Changing my firewall port to something other than 80.
-Adding X509Anchors and X509Certificates to my keychain.
...unfortunately none of these fix the problem for me.
The only thing that fixes the issue is to "Reset Safari" from the Safari menu. This really ***** because it erases all of my history, passwords, etc. This fix also seems only temporary. After about 3 days the issue starts up again. Joy. Is there ANY other option?
Truly frustrated with this.

Thanks. Unfortunately that didn't work for me. I tried deleting the bookmark and visiting the site by typing in the address. The same problem still persists. I just sit there staring at the loading symbol spin and spin - hypnotized with anticipation.
Any other ideas out there?

Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

My case is different from those listed below. First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
My problem is this:
I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems. However, when
i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
appears beneath the video I just watched. The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
This occurs for any selection I choose. My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R. This fills in the old video window with the
video I just chose. Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha? Anyway, the present condition *****.
This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have reset Safari and have also
deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

Cannot publish new password protected sites to MobileMe using iWeb

Recently been getting the familiar iWeb error messages when publishing from iWeb to mobile me:
"There was an error updating MobileMe"
"An error occurred while publishing file '/Web/Sites/Sites.rss"
"Publish error: An unknown error occurred"
Did all the troubleshooting stuff detailed here - problem persists.
Today, tho', I've just noticed that these errors *only occur when I'm trying to publish a new password-protected site or trying to apply password-protection to an existing unprotected site*.
It works just fine when publishing a site which is not password-protected. It is also possible to modify an existing password-protected site without any trouble.
There's nothing odd about the passwords - all legal characters etc.
It would be better for me and my users if I could have password protection on my sites. Without passwords, I'm left relying on 'security by obscurity' - not ideal.
What can I do?

You could split up your single Domain file into several Domain files each containing a group of sites. You'll have to duplicate (via Finder) the Domain file usually located here:
...and then double-click one of the copies to open it in iWeb. Then delete the site(s) you don't need from it. Repeat the process until you have a more manageable group of Domain files each containing several (or just one) site(s). Note that this process is not easily reversible, i.e. merging Domain files.

With "many, many sites", this splitting process is not without risk — so before doing anything, don't forget this:

I have a password protected site in iweb, but how do I get my users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I built a password protected site in iweb and its published through mobileme. How do I get users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I wouldn't bother really - it would be best to concentrate your efforts now on finding another web host that you can move your site to because after the end of June this year, publishing to MobileMe won't be an option.
Have a look at GoDaddy, HostExcellence etc. and you can still password protect your website, but you just do this through your host/server rather than MMe.
Start looking now before it's too late!

Could not open password protected site.

iWeb 09 doesn't allow capital letters in usernames for password protected sites. My site had been built using 08 and it would not open. I republished using iWeb 09 and no caps and it now works.

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 google, facebook and other selected sites?

My internet is working but for some reason safari won't open selected sites - seems like it's loading and says "contacting (website)" and nothing happens. Any advice?

Hi,
I tried doing that, still won't open google?
After a few minutes of waiting I am now getting this error message:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.ca/”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
It says "lost network connection" but all other internet applications continue to run...So I am clearly not losing my connection.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much.

IWeb had a password protected site capability. Now what can I use that gives me an equivalent functionality?

Greetings All,
I took over the web site for a club using iWeb. This worked great for several years (2009 to June 30, 2012). I still use iWeb today (minus the password protected members only portion). We have a need for a members only section of the website that is password protected. I put our records, roster, financial notes, members visual directory, etc behind this password protected site. I used iWeb and it was very easy. I have not had this functionality since July 1, 2012 with the demise of mobile me. This is very important to our club and I want to know what other product I can use to make a website with password protection? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

As Roger has already stated, this password protection needs to be set up on your server directly with the loss of this function with the demise of MobileMe.
There is another alternative however and that would be to re-build/transfer your site to one of the Content Management Systems, such as Joomla, Drupal or WordPress.org if your web host offers this facility. Most good web hosts will allow you to install the CMS's on your server and some have one click installation available.
It is very easy to set up password protected parts of your site using a Content Management System such as Joomla, because it is linked to a database that you need to link to. If you install it manually on your host, then you need to set up the database too and then link together, but most now have one click install, where the database is set up for you automatically - not as much flexibility like this over a manual install, but you can set up protected areas of the site and allow memebers to join and set up parts of the site that only members can get to. You can also set up different grades of membership too, so some can see some parts and others not.
If your site is in need to a revamp then consider this, otherwise stick with iWeb and just set up password protection directly on your server.

Safari won't open my bank site Again....

hi everybody, safari won't open my encrypted bank page again. my previous post on this subject is here,
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2531205#2531205
bee solved the problem with the advice below but this time it doesn't help! so, help! any clue? bobbie
1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
2. Trash your Icons Folder:
HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
(This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
3. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.

Safari won't open / enlarge image thumbnails

Hello,
When on websites that have image galleries or thumbnails to enlarge, such as Carsales / Real Estate style websites, Safari won't open or enlarge the image when clicked upon.
This seems to be only as of the latest Java update.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried 'removing all website data' and that hasn't seemed to help.
Thank you!

You didn't update JavaScript. You installed the "DownLite" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Password protected site

I am working with iWeb 1.1.2 and have a password protected site. It was working fine, but I have now changed the user name and the password and I canʻt access it online any more! The user name has 7 letters with 1 being capitalized. The password has 9 characters which includes 1 capital letter, 1 number, and 7 lower case letters. When I try signing on to the site online using Safari, I get a message saying "The user name or password you entered for area “me.com” on web.me.com:80 was incorrect. Make sure you’re entering them correctly, and then try again." What am I doing wrong? Please help! Aloha, Jill
