How to Fix Safari ...???

[vja4Him]

Something is terribly wrong with Safari ...

I keep getting a error message:

"Safari can't connect to the server."

"Safari can't open the page "http://www.apple.com/startpage/" because Safari can't connect to the server "www.apple.com".

Doesn't matter which webpage I try to access, Safari doesn't work anymore.

I've tried deleting the Cache, Cookies, plist.

I just deleted Safari altogether and all Safari files that I could find, emptied the Trash, then downloaded the most recent version of Safari from Apple, and installed.

Still have exactly the same problem.

Several days ago, I Reset Safari, which fixed the problem for a couple days. I've tried to Reset Safari many times today, but still have the same problem ....

Is this an issue with Snow Leopard 6.8? Any ideas how to fix this issue ... ???

I have no idea. Try a different broswer to see if it is Safari or something the internet is doing. Contact Safari support.

Install firefox. :P

Very strange ... I opened up an e-mail message in Mail, then clicked on one of the links in the message, and Safari open right up with no problems!

Safari has been working ever since, for several days now. There was one issue with a webpage I frequent everyday many times, got the same error message, but a few hours later, that webpage opened up, and is still working.

I don't use Proxies. We have seven devices that get on the Internet daily, not counting the X-Box, so I don't think there are any problems with our Internet connection, the Modem or Router.

I've tried several other browsers and they are working just fine (Firefox and Google Chrome).

I'm wondering if perhaps there is a bug in Safari (as other people have suggested) .....

I've been using Safari for a long time and really like the browser, but if this issue happens again, I may just have to go back to Firefox ....

Didn't have this issue with Safari until the most recent update, and I can't use the older versions of Safari, because they only work with a specific Operating System, and the present Safari I'm using will only work with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, so I'm stuck with the only the most recent version of Safari ...

Haaa..., update. Probably something to do with that.

Just when I though that Safari was working ok, it is now doing exactly the same thing as before ....

I've tried deleting the plist many times, resetting
Safari many times, clicking on links in my e-mail messages and other
active links, which open Safari, but it still will not work. Restarted my computer, but that also did not help.

Looks like the newest version of Safari has some very serious bugs ....

Hopefully the developers will fix this bug soon ....

One other note:

All day yesterday up until late last night, Safari was working just fine. I shut my computer down last night, then when I booted up this morning, Safari would not work.

Could this somehow cause Safari to not work ... ???

Maybe Safari will mysteriously start working again ......

I'm still having trouble with Safari ....

Whenever I reboot my computer, Safari will not work until about four hours later. Seems like some kind of timer has been set (or hacked?) into Safari ....

This does not happen with any of my other browsers (Camino, Firefox, Google Chrome).

I've tried resetting Safari, deleting the plist file, deleting Safari and reinstalling, running Disk Utility and Disk Warrior several times.
