Secure (HTTPS) sites freeze Safari

Safari works fine on all HTTP sites but the blue bar freezes before the S on HTTPS sites, won't Quit, have to Restart or Reset. I tried removing com.apple.safari.plist, Caches/Safari, Library/Safari, Repair Disk Permissions, Resetting Safari and problem persists. I created a new account and Safari works fine. I am using OS 10.4.6 and Safari 2.0.3.

Hi
try this -
Drag the file /HD/Library/System.keychain to the desktop ( as I recall, this will make a copy,rather than move the original )
Now trash the original file. ( think you'll need an admin password, but don't worry if you're not asked for one )
Try Safari once more......
This has worked for a number of users experiencing https problems/freezes after 10.4.6.

  • Suddenly my TC network only permits access to HTTPS sites- all HTTP sites say "safari can't connect to internet"

    This morning my TC wireless network suddenly does not allow any devices on it connect to HTTP sites. "Safari cannot connect to the internet"
    My OS X 10.9.5 Mac email works, as does GMAIL and Yahoo mail apps on smart phones on the TC network, but none of the devices behind the TC network can access regular websites.
    What's interesting is that the other wireless network in the house (the one we use for guests) does work on HTTP sites. This router is plugs into the same cable modem as the TC.
    I've recycled everything, and did a hard reset on the TC, but to no avail. Any ideas?

    You have the TC setup wrongly .. it should be in bridge.. it sounds like you have it in double NAT.

  • Unable to Activate Screen Buttons on Secure Web Sites with Safari 5.0.2

    I often pay bills online with secure sites, but today I was unable to complete any of those actions. The problem was that I could not produce the desired action when I clicked on action buttons (associated with secure emails in a list), such as SEND or REPLY. The problem was highlighted by red text notes telling me I should have used the onscreen buttons rather than my browser's arrow keys. Obviously, that's exactly what I was doing. It never cleared itself, even with a Reset Safari or Empty Cache. I did not have any of these problems before the recent upgrade to Safari 5.0.2.

    That certainly could be true,...I guess. I did use Firefox 3.6.10 to accomplish what I needed with these secure sites without experiencing any of the same problems. So, it almost sounds like you have to *drink the kool aid* to believe it is the web sites themselves. I had this problem with more than one web site; as, I was in the process of paying four monthly bills online on different web sites. At least three of them were secure sites, and Safari would not work on any of the three web sites...I am pretty sure they were the secure ones. It also appears possible that to the degree that Safari is NOT standards-compliant, some fault in systems engineering might be preventing its ability to work with secure sites. I did encourage, through an independent email, one web master to investigate with Apple why his web site/Safari interface was not working. So, he might take you up on your advice to become more standards-compliant if it applies. I'm still in need of a fix that I can really use.

  • Problem Using GetNetText when accessing secured (https) sites

    I have been having trouble getting GetNetText &
    PostNetText to work with a secured (https) server. I need to
    execute PHP files located on this server. I have heard of SecureNet
    Xtra but before I try it I want to ask if there are other ways to
    do this. Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to access secure sites when running in
    Shockwave but
    not from a projector. Like you suggested, you'll need the
    SecureNet xtra

  • Unable to open secure(https) site in some profiles

    unable to open https sites

    Hi Srini,
    Check the job overviews and spools using T code SM37.  Verify that there were no errors when running AJAB and AJRW.  Also, check the last fiscal year closed for each Comany Code using T code OAAQ.
    Some clients are kept more up-to-date than others.  For example, the Development and Quality clients may not be as up-to-date as the Production client.  Verify that depreciation ran for all months up to the closed fiscal year (if not ran, will see error in SM37), and verify that all previous years have been closed (last closed fiscal year can be seen in OAAQ).
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks,

  • Can't Access Secure (HTTPS) Sites On One Account, FF or Safari???

    Hello Mac Fans
    First let me say I'm new to Mac. On one account I can't access secures sites like I can in the admin account. This may be a function of rights but am not sure? All updates have been done.
    I can't login to this forum, my MobileMe account or my bank for example. I had to change to my other account or gasp, use a PC to post this message.
    I installed FireFox trying to isolate the problem to Safari but that didn't pan out, I can't get to HTTPS pages in FF either.
    I turned off Little Snitch thinking I might have denied something by mistake but that didn't help. I checked the rules and found nothing that wasn't allowed.
    Nothing was changed in the router. I just turned on Mac and it worked. The iMac is connected to the router via ethernet cable.
    I've used the search function and tried a few things that have been recommended for others but they didn't help me. I went to the keychain and did a repair, although it didn't find any problem. I over rode a couple keys to always allow them (Apple site stuff) and I ran the disk utility to no avail.
    For reference I will post the information for both Safari and FF.
    Safari:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ACAuthWeb.woa/wa/login?
    appIdKey=2ddbca23a85d20e5bf7478812379ae23&path=/login.jspa%3FsuccessURL%3D/index .jspa” because Safari can’t
    establish a secure connection to the server “support.apple.com”.
    Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mln'sbank.com/” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server
    “www.mln'sbank.com”.
    Safari can’t open the page “https://auth.apple.com/authenticate?service=DockStatus&realm=primary-
    me&returnURL=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tZS5jb20vd28vV2ViT2JqZWN0cy9Eb2NrU3RhdHVzLndvYS93YS9 0cmFtcG9saW5l&destinationU
    rl=” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “auth.apple.com”.
    FireFox:
    The connection was interrupted
    The connection to support.apple.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    I've done a lot of snooping around on this forum and have ran out of ideas so now I must ask for help.
    Thanks

    I think I may have found the problem. It's embarrassing to find it minutes after posting the message yet I tried to solve it off and on for three days! My brother who is a 20 year Mac user has been trying to help me too. I guess it's true what they say... sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. LOL
    I turned off the parental controls. What I don't understand is that the no website restrictions box was checked. To me this means I should be able to go to any site I wanted. Can anyone explain why I couldn't got to a HTTPS page on a parental controlled account even though there were no restrictions placed on it?
    It's late and I need sleep. I'll leave this open for now until I have more time to test it.

  • Safari 6 fails to load secure/https sites

    i cant load many password secured sites, because I commonly get a Safari error page stating that Safari cannot establish a secure connection to the server...whats going on with this? Very frustrating to say the least after the long update. Once in a while i get a rectangle in the address bar that says https, and if I click it you see the certificate info. Is there some setting im missing to work smoothly again?

    oddly enough, this one works, so there you go...

  • Trouble accessing secure (https) sites

    I recently installed Leopard and upgraded to 10.5.1.
    I am now having trouble accessing most secure sites. I've tried the following:
    -Used different browsers (Safari, Firefox, Flock)
    -Emptied the cache (on all browsers)
    -Turned off the Mac OS X Firewall
    The problem persists on different routers/ISPs and I am able to access the site using a different computer (running Windows XP) on the same connection.
    Again, it is most connections on secure servers, but there are odd exceptions (such as logging into this discussions forum).
    I appreciate your help.

    The browser will immediately display a message stating that it cannot connect to the server, such as:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://online.wamu.com/” because it can’t find the server “online.wamu.com”.
    Other sites that give the same error:
    https://store.apple.com/
    https://login.byu.edu/
    It shouldn't be a server related problem since I can access the same sites from other computers running Windows or Leopard on the same or different connection.

  • Images have trouble loading on secure (https) sites..

    Often images won't load when I log into my E*Trade or PayPal accounts. I often have to refresh the screen to see them. It's happened a couple times on this site, but it seems to happen more often with secure sites.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Bryan

    My problem was solved with my new iMac. For some reason, secure images wouldn't load always on the mini. Don't know if it was the video RAM, or what, but the iMac loads them everytime in Safari. I have another mac mini.
    Strange!

  • How can I get the URL address of a secure https site to turn yellow

    The older versions of Firefox would turn the URL of a secure website yellow when accessed. Even with poor eyesight, I found this easy to see. When I upgraded to version 3.6, this feature was gone. Some of you programming capable users were kind enough to provide me with a chrome.css routine that made 3.6 act the way I needed it to. Unfortunately, I've been forced to upgrade Firefox to version 16 and the chrome.css file that worked on 3.6 seems to have no effect on 16. Would someone please provide me with a way of getting Firefox 16 to turn the https addresses yellow.

    That was a feature last used in Firefox 2.0 in 2006, a real long time ago ''(in software time.)'' This - http://www.dria.org/wordpress/archives/2008/05/06/635/ - explains the changes which came in Firefox 3.0.
    The code used for the Address Bar was completely changed for Firefox 4.0, which is why the css you were using in Firefox 3.6 doesn't work any longer.
    You could try looking for a "retro 2.0 style" Address Bar for that code, but I spent 15 minutes searching for a newer code and didn't find anything for 14.0 plus versions. ''Note that my search skills aren't the best.'' <br />
    http://userstyles.org/
    This is the closest I could find, but it isn't even close to what was used in Firefox 2.0. <br />

  • Going to Facebook & Apple Support sites via Top Sites Freezes Safari

    Over & over, if I try to access FB or Apple's Discussion page, I get the swirling ball of doom, it remains spinning until I close & reboot Safari. What could be causing this totally inconvenient response from what should be a convenient feature? Thanks...

    Saxman --
    I understand from another thread that this is ONLY when
    using Top Sites to access them. Using a URL or other access,
    you have no problems. Is that correct?

  • I can no longer access my Lotus Notes office email (webmail). I can get my calendar, but not my mailbox. Both are on a secure https site. Maybe the problem is due to accepting a new version of Firefox? if so, how can I get back to a version that works.

    I can use Explorer to get to to the webmail, but Firefox no longer works.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • Can't access HTTPS sites-message says can't establish a secure connection

    Whenever I try to access any secure (HTTPS) site, I get a message saying that Safari can't establish a secure connection. I'm running on an I Book G4, 10.3.9. This started a couple of weeks ago. It had been fine.
    I have an IMac runnning the same operating system and the same Safari version and that works fine.
    Any ideas? Thanks
    I Book G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You need to update OS X to v10.8.5
    Click your Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
    OR, open the App Store then select Updates from the menu top of the App Store window.
    Then follow the instructions.
    When the updates are finished, try Safari.
    Very very important to keep your Mac's software up to date.

  • Safari display problems in https sites

    I have some problems when trying to reach HTTPS sites with Safari (under Mountain Lion). I only get text display and no rendering of images. I works perfectly well with FireFox. Have the same behavior with Mac App Store which only displays text. and doesn't present the pages correctly. I tried to reset Safari and no success; check KeyChain, no success. Anyone has an idea to get this solved. Thanks

    after many attempts, I resolved the problem finaly by reinstalling mountain lion (CMD R after the chime and reinstall option in the menu).

  • Why won't safari open https sites?

    I'm having difficulty opening https sites in Safari (I'm using version 7.0.4). Some sites just won't open at all, others open but don't load all images. I've tried resetting my router, resetting safari, clearing history etc. but nothing has helped so far. Can anyone help?

    Ok ..
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
