Why safari can't open google and google related sites

hi, I rebooted my 13' macbook(silver) with 10.5.8 few days ago. I'm using Safari Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3). Like 2-3 days ago google sites stopped working on safari all of sudden, all the other sites work alrght. Plz help?? Oh yes and I also installed a app Candybar to customize the dock(guess wouldnt hav to do anything with google). Any answers plz??

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
If that didn't help, third party add ons often create incompatibiilty issues with the Mac OS X.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left.
Now open the Library folder then the Application Support folder.
Move the CandyBar folder to the Trash. (Don't empty the Trash.)
Restart your Mac, launch Safari, try Google.
If it's ok, then go ahead and empty the Trash. You also need to go to ~/Library/Preferences.
Move the com.panic.CandyBar3.plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.

Why I can't open google maps on Safari? Everything have been working normally with my computer. But this problem with google maps I can't fix

Why I can't open google maps on Safari? Everything have been working normally with my computer. But this problem with google maps I can't fix

Do you have an example? I develop Google maps for Web pages and haven't had problem with Safari and its extensions, only FF which I took out all the addons and plug-ins, but it wouldn't surprise if the Google map code doesn't display the map or information for the map or doesn't work with newer versions of Safari.

Why safari can't open any webpage? i tried everything in my macbook pro

Try this DNS server.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
BTW, if you don't mention what you have tired that didn't work, we have no way of knowing.

Safari can't open Google website

For the last couple of days, my default search engine (www.google.com) was not searching, and giving me following error:
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “www.google.com”.
I went through pages in support about problems with third-party plugins. I've tried un-checking "Enable plug-ins"; Resetting Safari; Emptying Cache; Re-starting Safari and computer, nothing has worked. Other search engines are working e.g. bing, yahoo. I can't open any of google websites from .com or .co.uk or gmail. I've just tried using Firefox and it also can't open google websites.
I'm using Safari 5.0.3 (5533.19.4) on a Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I had Glims installed on my machine, which I just un-installed it; re-started; re-set safari, but still can't open google website.
As far other websites are concern, so far all the websites which are in frequent use can open. Is there problem with Google, Safari/Firefox (browser) or my mac (virus or something)?
Thanks a lot everyone.
PS: Oh yes. I got update on Safari yesterday, is that causing any issues?

I had the same problem too.
I searched by using bing.com (fortunately MS search engin has helped me )
I found a archived post https://discussions.apple.com/message/11061084#11061084
I did what Carolyn said and I also checked the PeerGuardian app
but I don't think it's because of this app that my connection wasn't possible, because I rarely use it.
Et voilà, everything works now.
I'd like to thank Carolyn and Rave for allowing me to do not format my dear iBook G4 that I haven't formated for over 3 years!!! (I've done the whole backup of my iBook)

Using Ipad mini safari can't open google server

WIFI connection is OK. connection with Skype OK
Can't reach google.fr with safari
thanks for help

Clear Safari, force close the app and reset the iPad and try again.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why Safari can not open Coles or Woolworth catalogues ?

My ipad 3, iPad air, iPhone 4 safari all can not open the catalogues, it use to be ok for open the catalogues.

They may have changed the layout of their catalogues. If they're based on flash navigation then the iPad doesn't natively handle flash. Youi'd need to look for a third party browser, such as Puffin, Skyfire or iSwiffer, or see if those sites have apps you can use.

Safari can't open select pages

My 5 year old 1.87 iMac is having issues where I get the "Safari can not open page" screen on certain sites. So far it's YouTube, Google, and Facebook. And, the content of Yahoo and Flickr pages all gets shoved to the left of the screen. Shutting down the modem temporarily fixes it, which leads me to believe this might have been caused by the latest Comcast (my provider) security change which forced me to contact them to activate. Their tech help has had me try a million things, but no permanent fix. BUT I wonder if this is related to having installed OS 10.6.3 just days prior to this mess. Does anyone have any ideas?
BTW- I have emptied the Cache and reset Safari many times. Neither has made a difference. Only the modem shutoff has helped (as I said, briefly). Thanks!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.
If you don't get results from that step, continue.
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.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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.
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, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

I can not open iphoto and itune anymore

anyone knows why i can not open iphoto and itune anymore/

I have rerun the applications install dvd, but it has not corrected the fault. When I try to open iphoto's I have an error message that says You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
Peter,
the version you installed from the DVD is probably older than the version you used last with your library, so you need to update to the last version you used.
I have tried to update to the latest iphoto 11 but it wont download. Any answers please.
Where are you trying to download from? When you upgrade a version that is installed from the DVD, you need to update from the Software Update menu entry in the Apple-menu.
Also, iPhoto has to be called simply "iPhoto", not iPhoto '11 or something similar and to be installed in the Applications folder. Otherwise it will not be recognised by the updater.
Regards
Léonie

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.

Can't open Google and Youtube

I use Safari 7.0.5
Can't open google or youtube. It keeps saying I need to update flash player.
and I can't use chat on Facebook this one keeps saying This message failed to send. Click to send again.
Then I tried to reload page. It wouldn't be able to open Facebook at all.
I clear cache and reset safari. I reboot router and my mac book pro (version. 10.9.4)
I have no idea. Please help.

The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they may be the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying i hav'nt got a valid certificate, and safari can't open it, why has this started happening?

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying Safari can't open it Because the certificate is not valid, why has this just started happening, and how do I correct it?

Either someone has installed a client side cert into Safari or the site in question has let their SSL cert expire. (not your fault). You could try using Firefox or Chrome instead.
