Safari not supporting YouTube

Since restoring a newly installed hard drive from Time Machine, Safari has not recognized site's security certificates? Even when coming onto the Apple site to make this post, it didn't recognize the security certificate of the site. I've also noticed some difficulty with certain sites being able to even load the first page.


Any others having had this issue and gotten it fixed?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 8 GB RAM

1. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.


2. Disable the built-in application firewall and any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter. Failing to do this is a common mistake. Test.


3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.


4. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.


5. Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:


☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)


☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.


☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.


Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?


If not, select


Go Go to Folder

from the Finder menu bar. Into the text box that opens, copy the following line of text:


/var/db/crls


From the folder that opens, move these two files to the Trash:


  • crlcache.db
  • ocspcache.db


You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.
