Safari 13.1 will not load specific pages. HELP!!

running a late 21013 27-inch imac with high sierra 10.13.6 os. when i solved my safari problem 2 days ago, i was so frustrated, i began the process of setting up all new bookmarks on firefox. what a pain.

then i saw this thread in my email. i almost didn't read it. after several unsuccessful attempts with different startup procedures using different combinations of keys, etc., i read 7 of the 8 pages of responses in their entirety before i found one that i had enough time to try: reinstall the safari update. it worked. so simple, but i never thought of it because the update was almost brand new. since there were no further upgrades indicated under "software update," i assumed (perhaps incorrectly) i had the most recent version.

problem solved. until someone proves me wrong, i have to think apple simply didn't respond to this thread, or even to its own geniuses, who, in my experience, seem to know almost everything. all's well now with my safari 13.1 (13609.1.20.111.8). apple9055 - that looks like the same version you're trying to run without success, so perhaps it was patched without changing the version number? don't know... just happy it worked. hope it works for all of you!

I had success with Safari after reinstalling High Sierra on my Mac Pro (Mid 2012). The High Sierra installer has an older version of Safari (11.1.2.)

It appears Safari 13.1 is the problem child.

Having exactly the same problems on a iMac 11,2 running High Sierra and Safari 13.1. It looks like I was able to stop the annoying "unable to load" messages by turning OFF Javascript in Safari Preferences. Unfortunately, I had to turn it on again to get to this page to post this message.

Since the majority of the "fixes" posted were just best guess and experimental. I waited a couple of weeks and just used Safari 11.

Today I allowed the app store to upgrade to Safari 13.1, worked and all the banking, shopping and any website that required a password, loaded and worked correctly. I then upgraded to the latest security fix suite. Everything is working fine.

I did not have to delete or clear any histories, passwords, caches or uninstall Java.

I suggest some of you try it, if you would like to be running the latest version of Safari with latest security updates.

try reinstalling using the download provided earlier in this thread. It worked on my system.

Okay so I am hesitant to reinstall HS for an error in Safari - Apple need to see there is a clash of software or Java on HS and sort it out! In the interim i have downloaded Google Chrome and have managed to do everything I cant on Safari right now until this is sorted. Yes its slower than Safari but at least I can continue to work!

Hi, I just updated this morning to version 10.13.6, and got the same issue (for example: BBC.com). It is very annoying, had to open Chrome to get normal access. I got in touch with costumer support online; it appears that the new version is giving many people this same problem, felt kinda relieved as I thought I would have been a virus. Any ways, please solve this issue ASAP.

Correct that works at least for now, since it rolls Safari back to 11.1.2, some here have expressed concern that an older Safari version and lack of the latest security "updates" will leave them vulnerable. Others feel it is too much trouble and overkill.

I did the same with command R, worked for me (although this is just a temporary workaround), was quick compared to all the time I wasted trying the various "fixes" found on the web, which none of them worked.

Thank you for your input. What Apple needs to do is recognize this issue and patch it. The last genius that I chatted with yesterday, told me a PRAM and SMC reset would fix it 🙄.

Hi Jessica

Restart your computer while holding down the command and R keys. Command R will take you to an apple window where you can do various checks including reloading your OS.

This link will tell you about other restart options https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201255.

I experienced this same issue when Safari upgraded to 13.1, after I had installed High Sierra on my MacPro (mid 2010); the pages that will not load are all related to online banking (Barclays) or online purchases (eg Marks & Spencer), everything works fine until you get to the actual financial transaction.

Would this suggest that Safari no longer recognises the security certificates of these sites?

I reinstalled High Sierra and the latest Security Update 2020-002, but have avoided the Safari update and continue to run Safari 11.1.2, which works without problems.

I hope Apple will address this problem soon.

As I posted earlier, I also reinstalled High Sierra in recovery mode and then allowed the Security Update 2020-002 to install; Safari remains at 11.1.2 and all pages load without difficulty, including financial transactions.

I am reluctant to update Safari, in case the same problems re-occur, unless Apple can reassure me that the glitch has been fixed.

Did you try the Safari reinstall (it should resolve the issue in 10.13.6)? See linked post.

You restart your Mac and press CMD+R before the Apple logo appears until the Apple logo appears.

I think it’s self-evident at this point that the big either lies with the security update or 13.1. Reinstalling OS seems like overkill, especially since it has mixed results—using an older version of safari can expose certain security flaws, I’m sure. Should we all just go through the service process, accumulate case numbers and hope it’s addressed? I think there’s enough of us experiencing the exact same issue that any sort of malware can we counted out.
