Secure Sites in Safari 5.0 Top Sites

Is it possible to add secure websites to Safari's Top Sites? Every time I add the secure sites I want and restart Safari the sites disappear from my top sites page.
Thanks for your help

I know this is an old thread but thought i would post a solution to this problem.
You can add a secure page to the Top Sites page, but no the conventional way by dragging the URL across.
Instead:
• Bring up the page you want to add.
• Go to +Bookmarks > Add Bookmarks (⌘D)+
• Then select +Top Sites+ from the drop down menu.
• Click Add and you're done.

Reset Safari -- Now I Can No Longer Access Secure Sites Or iTunes Store.

Hi, A few days ago I reset Safari (I'm still not sure why... boredom??). Well, now I'm paying for it. Now I can't access secure sites (such as gmail, bank accounts, etc.). in Safari. When trying to access a secure site I get an error window that reads something along the lines of: "Safari can’t open the page because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server." Even more annoying, I can't access my account on iTunes or access the iTunes store. When trying to do so an error window pops up that reads: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The requested keychain was invalid. Open keychain access and run Keychain first aid, then try again."... Did all that. No help. Incidentally, all my keychains are now gone).
I tried accessing the secure sites through Firefox, which still works fine. But the iTunes problem persists no matter what.
Has anyone else been encountered these same problems or know what I need to do to fix them? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm stuck!
Thanks in advance!

Still having this problem - is there no one out there who can help me? Surely someone must have had this happen before, no? You're all making me feel really stupid!!

Safari no longer able to log into secured sites??

" because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to
the server".
This is the error message I've been getting when either logging in
or visiting secured sites.
I recently defragmented my powerbook, and don't know if this
would have caused a security issue or not.
I'm able to view other sites with no problem. just the secured sites
I'm blocked from visiting.
Checked my preferences..cleared cache.. don't know what happened.
I was able to visit secured sites beforehand.
any thoughts?? ~A~

tried it and spent the last 30 min. trying to log in
as adminstrator..
still no luck with getting through on secured sites..
any other thoughts? did the disk utility,etc..
He is something to try:
Go into the Control Panel open Accounts, create a new
user. Log into the new user account, open Safari and
try connecting to a well know site that uses SSL...
If it works, it means something is wrong with your
Safari settings in your account, bad preferences,
etc...
If it doesn't work, you have to delete system-wide
Safari preferences, and perhaps start with Disk
Utilities, Verify Permissions, etc...

Safari user name and password for secure sites

I just sent the following to "Mac OS X Feedback"
Some secure sites like brokers, e.g., Ameritrade, do no allow autofill in Safari for the user name and password. In fact Safari does not even ask if you want to remember the user name and password just entered for such sites.
I would like to suggest that something be done for users in such cases:
1) A dialog box comes up warning that this website does not allow autofill.
2) A suggestion is made as to what network setting needs to be changed to allow autofill to work
3) A fix in Safari to take care of this problem
4) Add something to Safari help
Does anyone have a work around for this problem?

Think about what would happen if someone gained access to your Mac, say while you were briefly away from your desk or whatever. They launch Safari, go to the login web page of (for instance) your bank & discover that autofill has helpfully filled in your user name & password so all they have to do to get access to your accounts is click the login button.
From there, they can transfer all your assets to some other account (theirs!) or invest in FlyByNight.com or whatever -- they can do anything your password lets you do with any password-protected account ... anything!
Take this a step further. Say you have enabled auto-login to your primary account at startup, or have used an easy-to-guess account password for it. Someone steals your computer ... & with it potential access to all your online accounts with autofill entries.
Not a pretty picture, is it?

Safari not showing secure site images (blue question marks)

I have Safari 4 installed on my Windows laptop. I am having a problem viewing secure sites. All that appears is the text and then blue question marks where the images/tables should be. This is not a problem when using Firefox, Chrome, or IE.
This is also not a problem on my other windows computers nor on my Mac.
I've tried resetting Safari, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safari, nothing is working.
Any idea how to fix this?

I too am having this problem. I cannot access my gmail, ebay, facebook, or other login sites. If I attempt to access any site that requests user and password information, a safari dialogue stating "safari can't verify the identity of the website "...."". So far I've assumed that all of my certificates are comprimised. I don't know how to delete my certificates to get new ones as this information is not posted anywhere.

I have Safari on an HP desktop running Windows 7, 64-bit. When I want to clear the history from Safari, the "Reset Top Sites Also" button is always checked. This can cause problems. Any way to have it unchecked all the time?

Safari and iTunes having problems accessing secure sites

I've been having problems with iTunes not being able to access the iTunes Store. I can browse the store but can not add anything to my shopping cart. I decided it was time to see if Safari was having problems with secure sites and sure enough I discovered that it can not access secure sites either. The only way I've been able to access secure sites is via Firefox.
A typical scenerio is that I can not log onto my Apple ID. As soon as I click on the "sign in ID" link I get a pop-up stating that a secure connection to store.apple.com can not be established.
So far I've tried clearing the Safari cache and deleting site keys from my stored key chains. Nothing helps.
I'm running Safari 1.3.1 and iTunes 4.9.

Can anyone help?

How do I know if a login site is secure? In Safari or Explorer there is a visual lock icon, but not so in Firefox. Is there an add-on that meets this need?

How do I know if a login site is secure? In Safari or Explorer there is a visual lock icon in the web browser window, but not so in Firefox. Is there an add-on that meets this need?

The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the Site Identity Button on the left end of the location (address) bar.

This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0
If you still want a padlock icon also then there is this Extension.

Safari Not Allowing Secure Site

I updated my Mac Software to OSX 10.4 this morning and I've been noticing some issues with Safari 2.
The main issue is it won't let me open pages that require a secure authentication (for example it wouldn't allow me to access to login page for the Apple forums -- I'm here with Firefox now). It brings up a page that says cannot open page.
I've also tried it with my bank and credit card and get the same response.
Any idea what's the problem here?

You're welcome. Glad you got this sorted out. The anchor keychains are critical for accessing in Safari any secured site.
Regarding 10.4.6, the most stable version of OS X is either 10.4.9 or 10.4.10 Also, these two versions contain the latest security upgrades for Safari.
Download access for 10.4.9 may be found here. As with the previous post's recommendation about 10.4.10, important to "repair permissions" etc. if installing. Also, do not use the computer during the installation phase.

Safari forgets some Top Sites after closing

Hello!
My Safari always seems to forget the Top Sites I set.
I have set all twelve Top Sites with my favorite Webpages.
When I quit Safari and start it again in the last row of Top Sites two of my favorites are gone and have been replaced by other randomly chosen Webpages.
I already tried to reinstall Safari by deleting the App and loading it again from apple.com.
I also deletet the TopSite.plist files and tried to reset Safari. None of these things worked.
Its funny though, that when I take a look inside the .plist the top sites are correct and in the correct order. Safari just doesn't display them correctly.
Does anyone have an idea? I like the Top Sites feature really a lot but its behavior right now is quite annoying.

Hi,
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. Try Top Sites.
If that didn't help, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.

Safari will not open secure sites

Safari will not open any secure sites with a secure login. Anyone have an idea why?

Same issue here and yes, I can get to the secure sites using Firefox, Camino & Opera and no, when logged into the new user account I still can't access secure sites with Safari.
Also, I have been unable to purchase anything off of iTunes since this issue started. Does iTunes use Safariin some way? Any idea why the two things seem to be linked?
After successfully browsing Music Store & selecting the desired purchase, I hit the "Buy" button and get an error message saying that iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. "An unknown error ocurred (0x80010003)." It suggests I make sure my network connection is active & try again, but I'm clearly online.

Safari will not log in to banking or other secure sites

Safari quit logging into secure sites this morning.
I enter my user name and password, even saved ones, hit enter it goes back to the log in screen. Even new registrations - it is across all password protected sites - I had to log into this support community with Firefox.
Any one elso having this issue today?

I figured out my problem - I set the privacy settings to block all cookies. I reset it to block only third pary cookies and it is fine now.

Safari 3.2.1 does not allow access to Secured Sites

Ever since Safari has upgraded (from 3.1.2), it is impossible to log to (some?) secured sites.
On my wife Macbook 13.3 with the same setup, but 3.1.2, access is allowed without any problem;
I have admin rights on both machines, so no parental control is in the way.
Is this a bug on 3.2.1 or is there any setting that has been changes in the background by the automatic upgrade? I do not know but would be very keen to sort this out...
Many thanks,
JF

Hi
Have a look in your Networks panel in System Preferences. Click on the Advanced button, then Proxies. There may be an errant proxy present blocking the site load.
