Safari can't verify the identity of the website.

I am having this same problem. In addition to the "can't verify" message, when I click Continue, I get a login request that states: "To view this page, you must log in to area "Newcastle" on www.google.com:443."

I have disabled Extensions, deleted all google related cookies, and all google related key chains in utilities. Nothing has worked. This problem has just started since I got a new Mac Book Pro. Never had this problem with my old MacBook, ipad, or iphone.

Thoughts?

Are you having the same issues using other browsers?

Hello every one,

Please Reset the Date & time of your computer

1.  > System Prefrencs > Date & Time.
2. Here you would need to manually enter the correct date & time. then enable "Set date & time automatically"
3. then also check the location service is set correctly.
4. then re-start the system.

All the best!!

Please read this whole message and be sure you understand all of it before doing anything.

Write down the server addresses.

Change the addresses to the following:

8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4

That's Google DNS.

In Safari, select

Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data

and confirm. (Do the equivalent if you’re using another browser.) Test. Any difference?

I’m not advocating Google or anything else as a DNS provider; the server addresses are offerred merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Hi Davis,

My safari was absolutely normal until yesterday...For some unknown reason, i get this message saying "safari cannot verify the identity of your website"... Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Well, i had the same problem sometime ago, at first i was really panicky i thought it was some kind of a virus or malware. It happened after i left my mac opened for a period of time and it runs out of battery and shuts off, i read in a tech spot that mac performs a reset when the device shuts off due to lack of charge. It resets the date or time, and lo and behold when i looked at my date it was on January 01, 2012 which is not the current date at that time.

So i suggest before doing some deleting and stuff, try checking your date or else it won't sync.

Hope this helps.

From the Safari menu bar, select

Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions

If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

I'm only having this issue when using safari, but on all devices connected to my home network (e.g., computers, iphone, ipad). It is also not consistent. Sometimes it works - other times not.

What are the addresses of the DNS servers in your router settings (not on the Mac)?

That's something you would have to get from the router's documentation. If you know how to log in to its web interface, page through the settings.
