Why won't Safari won't connect except to some https sites?

Safari will not open pages--except to some (though not all) https protocol sites. Why? How to fix? Neither resetting the iPad nor resetting Safari helps.

Try A and B
(A) Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
(B) Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Won't connect to University wireless (https)

I couldn't connect to my Uni wireless last week, but just figured it was a problem at their end.
But when I got home, I noticed I couldn't get on to any secure (https) sites. Anyway, after playing around with the Keychain Access I managed to get past this. Everything was ok again.
But I'm back in uni, and I still can't get on to the wireless!
When I start off, the browser forces me to their homepage so I can login. Which is a secure site.
I've been on the network before, but the problem only seems to have happened just after I upgraded to 10.7.2
I've tried going in to keychain access again, but it seems either their network or the webpage buggers it up somehow. I can't even open it.
I've restarted the machine, and been able to open keychain access. But as soon as I connect to the network, keychain just crashes and can't be opened again!
The university IT support are useless. So was hoping someone on here could help out??
REALLY need to get an essay done!
Thanks,
Dan

No one got any idea?
It definately has something to do with Keychain. As I fixed it the other day, got on at uni. But it's doing it again now, and for the life of me I can't recreate what I did!
It seems to keep creating an unknown certifcate in Keychain, which just crashes it. I've tried deleting it, but it still crashes.
Once I get home I also have the problem of not being able to access HTTPS sites, until I restart and delete the certificate. Then it's fine at home, but still no luck a Uni, where I am first directed a verification page.
I also remember reading somewhere, something about the new ubd service causing an issue?
Any ideas?

Safari (Only) Won't Connect to a Single Web Site

I'm having an odd problem with both Safari 4 and newly downloaded 5. Most every site works fine. One, and only one, site always generates an error "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.salon.com/” because the network connection was reset. This problem can occur if either the server or the network connection is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again." This has been going on for weeks.
The site works fine in Firefox. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Eric,
Try repairing disk permissions...
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Why won't Firefox open a specific web site when Safari will

I am unable to open a specific website on Firefox yet I can open it with Safari on the same computer. I have a Mac Air and am using Firefox 26.0 with OSX 10.9.1

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page that doesn't require authentication (signing on)?
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Safari won't display graphics for some web sites

There are some sites that Safari won't display all of the graphics. For instance, nissanusa.com opens to a blank page with a little "feedback" symbol in the lower right corner. Similarly, the infiniti.com page has some text but no graphics. Both pages open fine on Firefox. There are other pages, but I prefer not to have to switch back and forth between browsers. Am I missing a plug-in that I don't know about?
Phil

Sorry, Guys. Somehow I screwed up when I installed the new Safari with Leopard. I don't remember accessing the preferences for Safari and thought they remained the same as for Safari 2. However, upon checking, I discovered the "enable plug-ins" box unchecked. Checking it solved all of the web site problems.
Peter, Thanks for your response. For informational purposes, on Safari 3, the "enable Flash" button is no longer hidden in the Mime settings tab. Now it's on right on the advanced page of the Quicktime preferences.
Again, sorry for my screw up and thanks for your help!
Phil

Why won't preview open on some users?

For some reason, the Preview app won't open on one of the users on my Mac, it works on mine but on another it bounces as if it is trying to open and then opens the dialogue box "Sorry, Preview quit unexpectadly", asking me if I want to re-open or quit, if I press re-open the same thing happens again. I've looked at the permissions for the app, seems fine, looked at the users library and deleted any Preview data under the preferences folder and ran disk permissions, to no avail.
Has anyone got any pointers as to what else I could do, as they really need the Preview app up and working to print PDF's?
Thanks
Zach

Glad it is working. As for the ownership on your home folder, before tinkering you might try running the list all, long command and see what it reports:
ls -al /Users
I have two users, myself and test account. Here's what mine says:
NoobiX:~ francine$ ls -al /Users
total 88
drwxr-xr-x@ 7 root admin 238 Jan 26 15:01 .
drwxrwxr-t@ 37 root admin 1326 Feb 23 11:35 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Sep 23 17:43 .localized
drwxrwxrwt 16 root wheel 544 Feb 14 11:29 Shared
drwxr-xr-x@ 44 francine staff 1496 Feb 26 08:27 francine
drwxr-xr-x@ 16 revelator staff 544 Feb 23 14:58 revelator
You can see that the "francine" home folder belongs to francine, group staff, the same as is reported by the id command. Let's see what yours says. Yours should say Miller, group Miller.
The numerical uid and gid depend on the particular user and group. The 501 is the first admin user created. The second user is 502. The old private groups from Tiger had the same number for the group as for the user, thus the 502 user would be a member of the 502 group. The staff group is 20, the admin group is 80. What you are getting (502 and 502) means that at some point you deleted the very first user and started using a second account, and that you upgraded to Leopard rather than doing an erase and install, as I ended up doing (after getting disgusted with all the bolixed up group permissions problems). Leopard switched back to the UNIX standard of having users be members of the staff group rather than private groups. I know, more information than you ever wanted to have!
Leopard also introduced the new Guest account, which can actually be quite handy. If you have someone who is visiting and wants to use your computer to check their email or do a little web surfing you can log yourself out and let them log in as Guest. The permissions are fairly restricted, there is no password, and all their stuff is deleted when they log out.

Why won't name change on some photos take?

I am trying to change the names on photos in a photo album. Sometimes the name change takes, but other times, after changing the name, after a few seconds, the name changes back to the previous one. Why is this happening only on some photos and not others and how can I stop it?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Why won't videos play on some pages?

On some pages I get the flash player and can hear but get no video content.

I have a similar problem. More info for my case. ...
iOS 5.1.1, orig iPad.
Play button changes when touched, but does not start playing.
MLB.com, YouTube, and other magazine-style sites are affected.
This is NOT the Flash video problem. Those still load with the play button x-Ed out.
Some videos, e. g. Facebook ones, play, sometimes.
The problem started for me about two weeks ago.
I tried to fix by a full power down and restart. That didn't help.
I saw on another thread to try "reset". I'll try that next.

Why won't my iPhone search/find mail sitting on the godaddy hosted email server?

I guess it's not mapped correctly. Any suggestions to help me troubleshoot this?

When I look for mail deleted mail on my iphone that I know for certain is sitting inside my trash or archive folder on the server, then it does not locate it. It's not querieng those folder for some reason.

Safari says not connected to internet on certain sites when connection is good and IMG[] images don't show up anymore?

I recently updated to 10.6.8 from 10.5.x and have been having some issues. First, Safari will say that my computer is not connected to the internet, but it is. I can be on YouTube, for example, and then try to go to eBay, and it will say not connected to internet, but I can go to Google and it will be fine without doing anything. Almost like it cannot connect to the server, but the message is that I'm not connected to the internet. I can turn Airport off and back on and get on most pages that wouldn't open originally. It's not site-specific. Sometimes it's Google, Facebook, eBay, YouTube, forums, etc. and other times those same sites work just fine.
The next problem, which I feel is related is that IMG[xxx] images won't open some of the time now on forums that have Photobucket and Tinypic IMG codes inserted into threads. It will just show the blue box with a question mark. I think that's because my Safari can't open the image hosting websites because sometimes when I click on the blue box to open the link, it says not connected to the internet and Photobucket seems to be one of the regular problem sites.
I've tried clearing my cache, reseting Safari, and a few other suggestions on here from similar problems, but I haven't seen a post describing my same issues exactly. I have not tried Firefox and would prefer to keep using Safari.

Try repairing permissions.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Select: Repair Disk Permissions
This can take a few minutes and better to not use your Mac while it's running.
When it's finished, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
Repairing permmissions helped another user with the same problem > "You are not connected to the internet"...: Apple Support Communities

Firefox-only connection problems with some SSL sites network-wide

I recently starting experiencing problems with sites not loading in Firefox with the error "Connection was interrupted". I've consistently seen this problem trying to load accounts.google.com. The problem exists in both versions 3.6.26 (OS X 10.4 latest available) and 10.0.1 (Windows XP/7/server2k3). In every single case, other browsers on the same system (Safari, various IE versions) can load the same URLs just fine.
I've already verified no proxy (FF and working browsers, all OSes), disabled ipv6 and preteching in network.dns, disabled all add-ons, deleted existing profiles, cleared cache, and cleared recent history. Existing articles suggest disabling DNS prefetch,

Nope. Settings are default as far as I can tell. Validate a certificate if it specifies an OCSP server is selected, connection-fails-invalid is not checked.
I resolved the issue after talking to my ISP - there was a DNS caching issue and I was getting an invalid IP for ocsp.thawte.com - but the behavior seems buggy. The OCSP server connection WAS failing (with a timeout) and per Fiddler FF just keeps issuing repeat OCSP requests before eventually giving up with the interrupted connection error. The "When an OCSP server connection fails" option doesn't seem to do what it says in this case; prior to getting the DNS issue fixed the only solution was to disable OCSP completely.
Perhaps the problem is that the OCSP connection timed out rather than being refused or unresolvable, but recognizing multiple timeouts as a connection failure might be more user-friendly.

Safari can't connect with the server

I'm operating on cable/ethernet/802.1x. A few days ago I unplugged the cable from the iBook for a couple minutes, reconnected, and suddenly Safari won't connect, except for 3 banking sites with https urls. I've tried all the usual tricks, like dumping cookies, cache, reinstalling from Apple, shutting down, rebooting the modem. I may have even screwed things up in the library. It almost seems like a security/authorization issue, where I am without knowledge. Now, suddenly,after playing with all these activities, the fan starts up after only a few minutes. The case is warm, but not overly so. It's running as I type. I don't notice a significant slow down in performance. Stumped Jim

Hi Jim
Welcome to Apple Discussions
There may be hard drive problems or the PRAM needs to be reset. Restart the computer holding down the P R Option and Command keys for 3 chimes. After the 3rd chime, release those keys and immediately hold down the shift key. This will restart the computer in Safe Mode. Safe Mode in part runs a few maintenance scripts on the drive. As such, it will take longer than usual for the boot process to bring you to the log-in screen.
Log-in after the log-in screen appears. Once the boot is complete, restart the machine again as you usually would. Then, try your Network connection again.
