Safari wont open bookmarked page, "invalid address"

Problem with iPad2. Safari is my browser. Running latest ios.
I have had my photobucket page saved as a bookmark for a couple of years. And until recently no problems accessing photobucket thru that bookmarked url.
But recently, when i select that bookmark, the photobucket page opens briefly and then a popup message says "safari cant open this page, address is invalid". Meanwhile the page is clearly open there in the background, with various items changing etc as normal. I clicked the OK button in the message, but it immediately reappears and will not go away. Safari is then effectively stuck and the only way i can clear it and navigate to any other url is to close, open email, find a link to another url, and click that, this starts Safari on a second page and i can then close both pages if I am quick.
PITA!
I have tried clearing history, cookies, and deleted the original bookmark and searched for photobucket and clicked on the link in the search results, but as soon as i get to the photobucket page the same thing happens.
I can access the same photobucket page via my PC without any such problems. So its clearly a problem with Safari or something on my iPad.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks!

It seems to be caused by Javascript. If you disable it in settings/safari the pop up window will not appear. However the drop down menus etc will not work without Javascript. Best option is to download "Chrome" or "Mercury" or wait for Photobucket to fix it:)
If you enable the "De Bug" console it will sometimes work. I am currently using an Ipad 1 with OS 5.1.1 but the problem also happens on an Ipad 3 with OS 7

Safari wont open any pages?!?

I just installed safari and it wont open any pages at all. I restarted, reinstalled and nothing. I deleted all files/registry entries for it then installed it again and no changes its just stuck. All other browsers (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, IE 10 & Opera) are working w/o any problems.

Apple stopped supporting Safari for Windows.
Use another browser of your choice.
Best.

Safari wont open account page

Hi, im relatively new to mac having just purchased an i phone 4 and looking to upgrade to a mac mini for a home system. I am using safari on my windows based laptop everything works fine except it wont allow me to open my orange mobile account page. every-time i try i get this error message
Safari can’t open the page “https://services.orange.co.uk/launchpad/launch?ServiceId=sss” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “services.orange.co.uk”.
i have tried everything to open the page including typing the url into the address bar instead of using the link, but nothing works. I can open IE at the same time on a different tab and open the account page straight away. ive contacted orange and they say there is nothing wrong with there website, and apple have never replied to my email. Any help would be appreciated as its a bit annoying as i hate IE
thanks

Interesting. I can't open that page in Safari either. (Same symptoms as yours, XP SP3 box.)
IE 8 and Firefox 3.6.8 can get through to a login page. But if I try opening it with Chrome, I get told that the site is under maintenance.
Both Chrome and Safari are webkit-based ... I wonder if it's a generalised webkit problem?

Safari wont open a page

At one particular web site ( a log on site for a library) Safari 4.0.3 the browser downloads the web page to download folder as "webquery-38.dll.html" When I click on it it either opens at another page of the library or as a text file. I have tried clearing the cache, resetting safari, and the playing with security. This is the only site I have trouble with and the administrators of the site say it works with their Safari. They suggest using another browser. Any suggestions as it must be something with my computer/safari
Cheers RicB

They are adamant they have tried with all versions and all platforms. It is th eonly web site that wont open so I and they are at a loss. They suggested I try another browser!!!

Safari wont open web pages

When opening certain web pages I get an error that says '.....safari can't open.....because safari can't find the server.....'
Does anyone know what is causing this?
Thanks

You are likely having a networking problem or a specific web site problem and not a problem with Safari. Some web pages (those that you have visited before) may still seem to load because all web browsers "cache" pages you have alread visited.
If you have another web browser like Google Chrome you should try that first and see if the same pages load. If they don't load then it's likely your Internet connection instead of Safari.
Then, try a few major web sites directly in Safari by typing in "google.com" in the address bar and hit [return]. Then, try, "amazon.com". If those load, then it's likely just a problem with specifis web servers. You'll just need to wait and try later. If those sites do not load, then continue on with these steps.
To see if you are having an internet connectivity problem, open "Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal". Then type "ping 8.8.8.8" (do not type to quotes) and hit the return key. Wait about 10 seconds and then hit [control] and [c] keys at the same time to end the output.
If the last few lines of output say something like ...
"--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0.0% packet loss"
... then your Internet connectivity is fine, but you could be having a DNS server problem. To troubleshoot that, try changing your DNS servers form the defaults provided by your ISP, to more reliable servers of Google:
Open "System Preferences" > "Network" > "Advanced" > "DNS", then click the "+" button under DNS Servers, type in "8.8.8.8", and then click "OK".
Then try those web sites again. If they work, then great, you can leave things this way perminently. If that doesn't solve the issue then you likely have an Internet outage that your ISP will need to solve for you.

Safari wont open web pages using Vista

After installing Safari on a windows vista PC I keep getting the same message Safari can’t open the page. I am able to open web pages with internet explorer

I'm using Vista too and have no problems accessing webpages with Safari. Do you use a Proxy? Maybe your Firewall blocks Safari...

Safari wont open any pages that require log in

Hi, we are having problems accessing any internet pages that require log in from Safari on our macbook pro, including Facebook, hotmail, bank site, and even this forum (on the old pc now). All other pages work fine.
Things we have tried so far, restart, delete cache, reset safari, changing dns.
This is extremely frustrating as we have only had the macbook for 5 days!
any suggestions?

If you are using proxy settings
Try going to system preferences, network, advanced, proxies and http and https have the same settings.

Whatn does "cannot open this page because address is invalid

What does" safari cannot open this page because address is invalid"mean.

It usually means you typed the URL incorrectly.
Try searching the web for the site, to make sure the URL is correct.
If you can view other sites, like apple.com, there is either a problem with what you typed or the site.

Safari not opening secure pages

Hey All,
Safari wont open any pages such as youtube, facebook etc saying that it cannot establish a secure server. This just happened about 3 hours ago just as my mac went to sleep. The only new thing I did was use an HDMI cable to connect to my TV. The mac had been shutdown for low battery because i fell asleep on movie. Anyways, I woke up plugged in my charger only to find that i can't connect to certain sites... Further compounding my problem is a taskbar that says "The certificate for this website is invalid. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be <url here>..." HELP!!!

Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar. Log into the Guest User.
Test Safari.
If it works in the new User, we know it's a problem in your User's folder, If it fails in the new User it's a problem with the base files.
Let us know what happens in the new User and we'll work on a fix.

Safari error wont open page invalid address

Ok, have tried several ways to sort this issue. Until recently, no issues opening my page on Photobucket via safari. But recently, photobucket page will load, but then a popup message immediately appears that says Safari cant open the page because the address is invalid. Have cleared history. No luck. Thebpage is loading, but then basically the abovementioned message comes up, i can click oK but it immediately reappears and will not go aay. Have to reboot Safari and clear page before it loads otherwise cant use safari.
Any ideas of a solution?

Also, note that i have tested the same address on PC and it works fine. Typed address into search bar and again, the page opened but then the message came up and will not go away.
So, i know that the page address is correct and works on other systems, just not on my iphone or ipad. Both have the latest software update installed.

Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

Help-Safari wont load any pages-others having same problem

Safari wont load any pages. Tried reinstalling Safari. Nothing. Zip. Notice that people on the Safari for Windows board are having the same problem.
WHAT IS GOING ON? Anyone know?
I get the menu bar, but not Bookmarks, etc. Cannot see a blank page. Cannot open a blank page, BUT my efforts (Untitled and Untitled 2) are reflected in the Dock. A right-click there shows that the pages are open, but obviously invisible.
I really need to fix this.
Firefox works. As do other apps.
Message was edited by: mashamax
EDIT:
The last thing I did before this happened was open a .pps file I got in email. If I do what was suggested in the Safari for Win post where someone is having the same problem: empty the cache, everything becomes greyed out. Its as if everything becomes invisible.
If I click on a link in Apple Mail, the URL shows up in the dock right-click as if it has mounted, but it hasn't. No window. Nothing.

Do you actually have a data plan from your cellular provider?
Being connected to 3G does not automatically indicate that a data plan exists on the account or is even set up correctly on the carrier side.
