Safari won't open some pages after changing internet provider

Since I changed my internet provider Safari decided not to work. Not sure if it is just a coincidence or not. I have been looking for solutions on the forum and test some suggestions but I getting nowhere.
I have reset Safari several times, empty cache, clear history and I still can not open Google, Gmail, Facebook, Youtube as the main ones but it opens Twitter. I get no error messsage or anything, it just hangs and sometimes I go to make a cup of tea and when I get back google.ie is open.
Another thing that I notice is that I have a message saying "The google safe browsing Service is unavailable. No updates 110 days" I tried to untick and re-start Safari but I still ahve the same problem. I'm not sure if it has anything to do or not.
The strange thing is that I have another imac and macbook but the problem is only on this one. Chrome just crashes a lot so if I could get my Safari back would be great. If anybody has a suggestion I would really appreciate because I spent hours and I'm getting no results at all.
Thank you in advance

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.)

Safari won't open some pages

I manage a small network of Macs in my otherwise PC company. We operate behind a firewall. Recently, I've noticed a strange thing where Safari will suddenly not load a page, well within a site. The status bar will show "contacting server", then "1 byte loaded". At this point, the progress bar within the address bar will slide over to the right & disappear, as if the page loaded, but the page is blank. Occasionally, reloading a few times will work. Sometimes copying the address into a new window will work. More often, you need to copy the address, quit & restart Safari & paste the address in to load the page. This happens will about any site, including Apple's. I've tried resetting Safari, clearing cashes & cookies, etc.. I've tried Cocktail & Onyx as well. I notice this more on my eMac running 10.4.8, and have seen it on other Macs that I manage.
G5 & eMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have corrected the problem, sort of. I was using Netbarrier, and have completely disabled it. I'm still using the built in firewall of OS-X, plus "little snitch." This was after I had deleted every imaginable preference file, cache, etc etc- the problem was most likely something with Netbarrier. I hope to one day be able to use NetBarrier again without this problem (affecting only a small fraction of web pages, including Google Mail, and many others that require one to sign in). Till then, I'm just happy I can use those sites again!

Safari won't open any page

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 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 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 doesn't open some pages

Hi! I've noticed recently that Safari won't open webs like instagram..when I try to log in it lets me write my username and password but when it's going to load the content of the page it remains white.
And I've also noticed that it doesn't open videos on twitter for example, like vines or youtube videos that should be seen directly from the twitter page...What is the matter?
I've tried to restore Safari and make sure there were no updates needed but it has not solved the problem (and I have the latest Safari update)
I would aprecciate the help. Thank you!

Safari won't open without restart after installing Yosemite

After I installed Yosemite, safari won't open from sleep mode without me restarting my computer. Should I or can I uninstall Yosemite and reinstall or is there another fix? Thank You for any help.

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
          Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
          Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. This step shouldn't be necessary, but has been advised by Apple Support in some cases, apparently as a workaround for a bug. Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences. If applicable, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner to unlock the settings. Enter your administrator login password when prompted.
Select the Power Adapter tab and uncheck the boxes marked
          Wake for Wi-Fi network access
and
          Enable Power Nap...
if present. Then, if the computer is a MacBook, select the Battery tab and uncheck
          Enable Power Nap...
11. Reinstall OS X.

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 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 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

Safari won't open from dock after upgrading to leopard

I've upgraded from OS X 10.4.11 Tiger to OS X 10.5.2 Leopard with the upgrade DVD which arrived today and all the available Software Updates (which included a Safari update). No more Software Updates are available - I've checked.
Safari and Mail will now not open from the Dock. Neither will iChat, AddressBook, iDVD (which produces a pop-up saying it "quit unexpectedly" - it didn't appear to start at all), and iCal. Safari and Mail WILL open from my Applications folder thankfully. I haven't checked the other mentioned applications, except iDVD which does the same non-opening with pop-up from Applications too.
I have run permissions verification and permissions repair from Disc Utility on the Mac HD. I have run disc verification from there too and the result said the disc appears OK. Neither solved the Dock problem.
The icons in the Dock don't bounce or anything. They remain still and un-animated. I just get a pop-up message saying "You cannot use the application "Safari.app" with this version of Mac OS X". Which surprises me as it's a native Apple Mac application isn't it? Obviously it says "Mail.app" for mail, "iChat.app" for iChat etc.
I reinserted the Leopard installation DVD and installed all the applications from the Optional Install.mpkg folder, including Safari and Mail. This has made no noticeable difference: they still won't open from the dock. I have just noticed that an additional icon for Safari appears at the far (right hand) end of the dock when I open it from Applications. But it disappears when I close Safari, so no good for opening it.
It could be worse, I can actually open some of the applications from my Applications folder. But this is inconvenient and besides, it is supposed to work from the Dock.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Can anyone help me to solve it please?
I have backed-up (not using time machine - I backed-up before I upgraded). I hope to avoid having to erase and reinstall but I will IF that will solve this problem (and not cause any others
Help please. Thanks.

Hi
Dock icons are simply alias. The ones on your dock may be corrupted, especially since you can open Safari from the applications folder. To remove an icon, right click on it and select "remove from dock", or simply drag it off the dock, where it will disappear in a puff of virtual smoke.
Then, go to the Finder and single-click/hold any item you want on the dock. Drag it there.
Try Safari or the other apps again.
Specific to the Leopard upgrade, important any 3rd party items installed in your system are Leopard compatible, otherwise you'll have operational problems when using them.
One other thought. It is possible the Dock is corrupted, causing the problem. If the above does not resolve the problem, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. There, move the com.apple.dock.plist and com.apple.dock.db files to the desktop, then relaunch the Finder (hold down the option/command/esc keys to reveal the Quit Panel. Select the Finder>relaunch.
