Safari fails after Monterey upgrade with "(NSPOSIXErrorDomain:28)"

Since I upgraded my M1 Mac mini to Monterey, I notice that after Safari has been running for a time, it starts to fail to load images. If I try to open a new page when it's in this state, I get this:



However, if I quit Safari and then immediately restart it, opening the same page works correctly.

Mac mini, macOS 12.0

Hi theMcQ,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Seems Safari needs more free space than your Mac now has free, after the update.

If so, with several tabs open Safari.could be struggling.


The Operating Service needs at least 50Gb free space. for smooth operation.


How to check, and /or free up storage space on your Mac.

If storage is not the issue

Sometimes the system struggles because third-party (non-Apple) apps are not optimised for the current software.


Activity monitor on your Mac is a handy way to see which apps are using all the energy:

If that also, is not the issue, try this article :
