Safari doesn't open some pages

Hi! I've noticed recently that Safari won't open webs like instagram..when I try to log in it lets me write my username and password but when it's going to load the content of the page it remains white.

And I've also noticed that it doesn't open videos on twitter for example, like vines or youtube videos that should be seen directly from the twitter page...What is the matter?

I've tried to restore Safari and make sure there were no updates needed but it has not solved the problem (and I have the latest Safari update)

I would aprecciate the help. Thank you!

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

From the Safari menu bar, select

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

and confirm. Test.

Hi there,

I have the same kind of problem. I have internet but safari won't open some pages like google, facebook, twitter, youtube and some other pages.

I tried what you said to try in safe mode, and in safe mode everything works for me normally. Every pages open up as it use to.

I tried to disable and enable javascript when i turn my computer back on normally but nothing worked.

Please tell me what I can do to make it work on normal mode.

Dear Linc,

I have the same problem with some pages not loading properly on some machines (10.10 & iOS 8, 9), but on a 10.6.8 everything is working. I followed your advice to start one machine (10.10) in safe-mode and the pages load perfectly fine, while at the same time they do not load on the other machines. What could that be?

I'm in the same boat.

I've tried deleting cache and cookies, but it did't work for me.

After surfing some websites, I found some tips that worked for me.

Go to System Preferences,choose network

Click "advanced", go to the "Hardware" tab, and click on "configure", choose "manually"

Click on mtu, change it to "custom" and set the mtu number to 1453 (I dont why but the number is something like a networking secret from ancient times)

regards,

This solved my problem. Thank you very much.

Although I still need to check all my network infrastructure, since I have a network cable which is in a bad shape. Also a switch might have gone bad. I will report back if I can return to automatic after changing the network cable or repairing something else.

Just want to say thanks to @linc - this has been bugging me for months. I removed a bunch of plugins I don't even recall installing and now twitter and other links work again in safari! Woohoo.
