Problem repeatedly occurred" error in Safari 14.1

I will reiterate that Apple pulled the 14.1 update from Software Update on 4/30 on my Cat MBP machine, and from what I read they pulled it from most Cat and Mojave machines. Luckily I had not yet updated, so I was able to notice the absent update that showed for days prior. If they had not pulled it, I would worry about a fix. But for those of you frustrated with the unbaked release, I'm guessing they will reissue next week. They rarely take fault with their releases, but when they pull them, it suggests so. Once again, I would recommend the temptation not to push that update button for a few days and scour these posts before actually updating. It shouldn't be like that... but it appears to be more and more frequent.

Thanks for info - just to add. I fall into the category of having Catalina and after doing what I thought was a Security update that had been out for quite awhile - found out that the Safari update had been tacked on. I stopped several people from installing the update. The worst part is that even updating to Big Sur does not solve. Many people like myself always wait but the way this was rolled out was inexcusable.

Apple PLEASE sort this out. I've given Safari all my passwords and it's a massive pain to have to find them in Keychain when using Firefox.

Safari Version 14.1 (15611.1.21.161.5, 15611), Catalina 10.15.7

Having the same kind of problems. Global.adsbexhange.com won't open with Safari 14.1 and the same problem occurs with Firefox 88.0. The problems occurred after updating Safari. Strangely no problem with Safari on my iPad and iPhone.

I've download Safari Technology Preview and it seem to be working fine and all pages load ok. However, I find this ridicule, first they released an update with such a big and obvious bug and second that they don't sort the issues within hours... Does anyone know if there is an official complaint portal? Apple is doing this more and more... everything year they keep released now OS and updates and every year their quality is worse and issues are bigger...for little or none real improvement for the user.

I tried to go to

Global.adsbexhange.com

and

adsbexhange.com

Safari, Chrome and Firefox all cannot load, server os not responding. Checked on www.isitdownrightnow.com and the site is DOWN.

I think your problem is not related to the browsers.

from what I’ve seen, apple safari is an incredible browser.I’ve seen online tests of it killing chrome, Firefox, edge, and more. And it’s also a battery saver. It’s probably just your device acting up, but I hope Firefox works for you.

having the same issue, I am unable to sign in on some sites and most troublingly eBay, the site reloads on the home page but worst of all I can't log in and get "an error repeatedly occurred". tried everything, resetting smc etc, changing loads of settings, proxies, everything. disabling javascript or blocking all cookies might help but renders the browser unusable.

Turning off JavaScript does solve the problem in a sense, but as you say you lose functionality. For example I had to turn it back on to reply to this post!

I updated software as Apple suggested on my Mojave 10.14.6 and the new rev off Safari 14.1 is completely unusable. Apple has to fix this.

Definitely a Safari 14.1 problem - broke when I updated my Mojave 10.14.6 as Apple suggested. Disappointing that Apple would have a bug like this and not fix it fast. This gives other browsers a chance to have Apple users see them in action. I am using Chrome now.

I had this problem as well. I am using Mojave 10.14.6 (18G9028)

I used this webpage to fix the problem on my system.

I have not seen any side effects.

I downloaded the current version 14.1

twststern... Safari Technology Preview will appear as a separate app. Go to your applications folder and start it from there. Nice that it's separate so when a Safari update comes, it will be easy to take the update and move on.

Yes, I am.The problem is a specific part of the site global.adsbexchange, the site itself is accessible. But when I want to go to the radar picture, the screen starts flashing and a message appears that something went wrong. It is the same in Firefox (88.0) but only on the iMac. In Safari on my iPhone and iPad everything goes smoothly, no problem (ios 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5).

The problem on my iMac (Catalina 10.15.7) started after upgrading Safari to 14.1, before updating there was no problem. It is strange that Firefox has the same problem.

Unfortunately you cannot downgrade or restore Safari from Time Machine. You will get the error "“Safari.app” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by macOS."

The only official option is to do an OS reinstall.

I personally have not tried the install from MacUpdate.

Still having the problem with other website that require login (financial sites like my bank, brokerage). Problem persists after Reinstall Mac OS 10.15.7 today. Support was thoroughly unhelpful. I've switched to Chrome until Safari is repaired.
