Safari won't open google or gmail

What worked??? I'm desperate to get this fixed. I can't put anything in ANY search bar as nothing is working. Can't even download the latest Apple update! This is happening on my iPhone 7. My MacBook and iPad mini are working ok, hence being able to get on here!...... For now.

Please advise.. Anyone. 😕😢😟

I'm a 63 year old technically challenged person (to a degree) so any technical lingo won't work for me!

FOR ME, it was an issue of incorrect internal date and time, which blocked syncing with the google server when trying to open Gmail in Safari. My MBP had been asleep for a few weeks, and for some reason when fired back up, wouldn't sync it's internal clock. I didn't know this was the issue until I tried opening Gmail in Chrome, which then told me that was the problem.

I then opened Date and Time Preferences, unlocked it for changes, and then it automatically synced itself. Then Gmail opened right away in Safari.

Hello,

I have the same problem. My safari won't open google or gmail or anything that is google related.

Only that when I try to get into google, I get this message:

"Safari can't open the page "https://www.gmail.com/intl/en/mail/help/about.html" because safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "www.gmail.com".

Any solution for this?

Thank you,

I have same problem. I do not have any third party applications or extensions installed. I cannot sign on to Google mail or access you Tube. I have reinstalled Java, and have also reinstalled Yosemite, doesn’t work. Used to work until the last Apple Yosemite update.

There is software flaw and Apple is conveniently ignoring it. I am about ditch Safari forever.

Nope

No third party applications installed. Problem still persists

I'm having this same problem with my new iMac. Spent 2.5 hours on the phone with Apple and they couldn't fix it either.

For me, Safari suddenly stopped loading my gmail. It would load the Google page and other sites but not gmail. After trying any number of ways to fix it, I typed "gmail.com" into the search line, and gmail loaded and hasn't been problematic sense. Simple, but it worked.

I have no idea why this worked. I had tried everything, for days, to try to figure out what was going on. I fought with DNS and Sonicwalls and host files and inbox prompts, and this seriously is the first thing that's worked in three days.

BUT.

It only worked for my server. The client machines still aren't getting any results.

Hello,

I just ran also into this issue a couples of hours ago. I saw that safari claimed that some certificate from google.com is expired. After doing some checks I have remember that this morning I have intentionally altered the date of my mac for some tests and I have forgot to set it back to the current date. After doing that, the error has disappear and everything works fine.

You may check yours date also, just to eliminate this possible track.

Regards..

Mac book pro will not open safar

this is the reason.please always check your time and date settings first.
