Safari greyed out with white line


I have seen other people who have this problem but nothing is fixing it. I have a new Mac and have wiped my late model 2014 iMac and reinstated the operating system OS Yosemite 10.10.5. When I was checking everything worked this happens. The strange thing is that some preloaded websites work. I followed plenty of different instructions for what to do and nothing has worked so far. I wondered if anyone had found out a way to actually fix this specific thing? This is happening on my old model which I am just trying to get working so I can give it to someone else to use.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.14

Salutations k9amb, 


A few steps to take when Safari is not loading pages as you’d expect -  If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac 


1. Test with a private window. 

A website can store cookies, caches, and other data on your Mac, and issues with that data can affect your use of the website. To prevent the website from using that data, view it in a private window: From the menu bar in Safari, choose File > New Private Window, or press Shift-Command-N.


2. Check Safari settings. 

Check Safari settings

The webpage might not be compatible with one or more browser settings, which you can turn on or off as needed. From the menu bar in Safari, choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences). Then click Websites, Privacy, or Security to access these settings:
Privacy settings. These settings apply to all websites. For example, a website might require that you allow cross-site tracking, show your IP address, or allow cookies.
Security settings. These settings apply to all websites. For example, a website might require that you enable JavaScript.
Websites settings. These settings can be configured for specific websites. For example, a website might require that you allow pop-up windows, allow downloads, allow access to your camera or microphone, or turn off content blockers.


3. Check VPN or other security software

If you installed VPN or other software that monitors or interacts with your network connections, that software could affect your use of the website or the internet. Learn about network issues related to VPN and other software


4. Test while connected to a different network.


Thanks.
