iPad won't load Google in Safari after iOS9.0.1 upgrade

It's not just iOS 9.0.1 affected. Ours and the in-laws iPad 2s on 7.0.4 have the exact same problems with anything Google. Looks like something definitely got broken somewhere! Hope there's a fix soon!

Ditto. iPad on 9.0. It was working until yesterday, so it had a few days on 9 before falling over. 9.01 on iPhone is fine.

I've got the same problem. The only way I've been able to use the internet is to change from Google to Yahoo in settings. But that's just an interim fix. PLEASE MAKE GOOGLE WORK AGAIN.

Thank you

Clearing the data doesn't make any difference.

Hi. Locked out of Google too, on both iPhone and iPad 2, since iOS 9.0.1. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark"...or in iOS, actually.

Same issue - I have scoured the web looking for options - checked restrictions, reset network data, tried DNS of 8.8.8.8, cleared cash -even tried replacing safari with chrome -but I cant get youtube videos to work (but some advertisements do!)

Its interesting my ipod touch has this issue, but my iphone 6 does not (even when I turn off cellular data and only use wifi -same wifi my ipod is on) - the ipod can't get to https://google.com or youtube.

I suspect it is an SSL/secure connection issue .. since i can browse insecure (http, but not https) sites.. did something at Google change?? It seems to happen on and old ipad 2, that worked fine 'the other day'.. and I have not done an OS upgrade... its even an issue on an older ipad touch that was working with youtube yesterday -and now today same problem.

So to recap:

ipod touch with IOS 9.0.1:

cant access google.com (via SSL)

can't play any youtube vidoes.

same issue on an older IPAD (Ios 6 I think?) and IPOD touch

Iphone 6 with cellular data turned off, but same wifi on (IOS 9.0 -I haven't upgraded) - all works fine.

I have the same issue with my ipad 3 (or 4? - an older model anyway!). It's running IOS 7.0.4, and was fine yesterday, but today (25/9/2015) it suddenly can't connect to google search engine, YouTube or google earth. Hugely frustrating! I get the message "Safari cannot open the page because it cannot establish a secure connection to the server". My other devices (android phone and windows PC) work fine.

I haven't run any updates, BUT yesterday I went onto the Apple website to look up information about official certified charging cables, and while on there I was asked for my apple password twice.....so something was shared from the Apple website onto my ipad. Presumably all those of you who have downloaded IOS 9 must have also accessed the Apple site and had to provide their passwords - is it possible that some bug has passed from the Apple site onto our devices?

same thing here, ipad mini, 1st gen, started right after ios 9.01 update.....ever wonder why there is never any actual "apple support" in these forums? i always found that strange, ingenious on their part, but strange. what other product in the world would not have to directly address their customer's concerns and remain in business?

Same issue here...very frustrating - can't get youtube to work or even google search

Hi Folks;

Weird thing. Got up this morning and found the same problem with my IPad 2 and IPhone 4. Strange thing is they both worked last night before I went to bed and I've done no upgrades to either (can no longer get an upgrade for the phone).

Just like everyone else has found, everything else that access the web is fine Yahoo, Bing, etc, but I cannot get either device to access Google.

Like the rest of you, hanging out for some advice from Apple.

Even weirder, wife just woke and started using her IPad 3 and everything working fine.

I think TOMP2 is onto something with the Gmail connection. I have Gmail account access on both my IPad and IPhone (Safari not working) but the wife doesn't and she has no problems on her IPad.

Hi All,

I too have had issues connecting to the internet via Safari since downloading IOS 9.0.1 to my Iphone. My Safari default search engine is Google. After trying several suggestions on the web that did not resolve this issue I resorted to bypassing Safari by installing Firefox which has Yahoo as its default search engine and everything was working great - until I changed the default search engine in Firefox to Google and then experienced exactly the same problem trying to get onto the web when using Safari. Once I switched back to Yahoo in Firefox everything is working as it should be.

Hence it is apparent that there exists an incompatibility between the Iphone and Google in the new IOS9. My further research indicates that Google and Apple were due to renew their agreement in early 2015 - so maybe this has not been resolved resulting in Google being "shut out" in the current IOS. I recall a similar incident when Microsoft removed Java from its early Windows XP versions due to a licensing wrangle - they didn't tell anybody about the omission when they released XP and left a lot of consumers wondering why a lot of web pages on the internet wouldn't load using the new XP unless they either purchased Java or waited until Microsoft was again able to provide an update after the licensing issue with Java had been resolved.

I hope this helps.

I have had this problem too. Before seeing these suggestions I tried just changing my default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo and this fixed the problem. I like Google though, so Apple please fix this problem!

I got the same problem on IPAD2 just upgrade to 9.0.1 yesterday, and now lost google thru safari & youtube won't play videos (playback error) .. anyone got fix please post.

Having the same issue On my wife's iPad mini generation 2 can access http://www. goole.com but not https://www.google.com. My wife noticed the problem this morning on iOS 9.0. I noticed 9.1 was available so I downloaded it hoping it would fix the issue, but it didn't. I then cleared all website data and settings also no luck. Lastly, reset the iPad as a last resort also no luck. It's funny that Apple charges hundred of dollars then provides next to no support after a short period of time. I've since switched to android a long time ago. I wish people would wake up to this sham of a company and give them a piece of their own medicine; stop supporting them.
