Google secure connection failed

Same here. Happen today all of a sudden google wouldn't load anymore. Same with You Tube.

I am also using Mavericks 10.9.5

My iPad still works with G+ app but not google.

I tried DNS cache clear , that was recommended. Which did nothing.

I cleared cookies and browser history.

I installed lasted update hoping that would fix it , nothing.

I did check website , "down right now" and other mac users are having this issue.

HELP !!!

I've been trying to find a solution and found this , which was what i suspected would be the last hope.

I can't browse certain websites

The reply suggests reboot , which i will do before bed.

Good luck !

Hello!

Same problem here- a solution that worked was this :

changing primary and secondary DNS in the rooter back to ISP Standard.

After that it worked fine. :-) Good luck!

I'm having the same problem as of today. "Glad" to see I'm not the only one suddenly having this problem.

Other devices on my local home network (another Mac laptop; iPhone; etc) are able to connect securely to Google and YouTube just fine.

If I reboot from my other partition (Yosemite), it also works fine.

The only problem is when I'm booted in Mavericks. (10.9.5)

It affects all browsers. FireFox has the same problem; Chrome won't load anything at all.

Tried unplugging from Ethernet and going WiFi only - no difference.

Looked at my \private\etc\hosts file - nothing unusual there, it's fine.

Turned off Little Snitch completely - no difference.

Turned off all Safari extensions - no difference (didn't expect any, since other browsers have the same problem)

Restarted my Airport Extreme - no difference.

One thing I haven't tried yet; booting from a cloned backup I made of my Mavericks partition yesterday, to see whether it'll still work.

Interested to see, as time goes on today, if (a) the problem resolves itself, (b) anyone else here has any insight into this. Very, very strange.

So is this an Apple issue or a Google issue?

I am having the same problem as well with both Mavericks and Mountain Lion. Yosemite works fine. Interestingly, it seems to be related to the IP address. When I use my normal ISP it fails. If I tether the Mac from the mobile network it works fine. Similarly if I use my normal ISP and then use a VPN it works fine.

It works on my iPad and iPhone, and both are on the same WiFi network as my iMac.

But if it works on some platforms then it sounds like more of an Apple issue?

Agreed - there is an Apple element. In my case my iphone (iPhone 6, 8.4) works using wifi on the same network. My iPad, 8.1.3, fails on the same wifi network but works on my cellular network. Something has clearly changed in the last 11 hours.

Also worth noting that this isn't just a web issue. My Google Drive desktop app is unable to connect for Sync, but works fine on my iPad.

Another having this issue...

It feels all too familiar... I'm thinking Apple have neglected to update a security certificate or something for Google...

In my case - Macbook and iPad cannot google/YouTube...

I've been having this issue as well.

Curiously though, my Gmail is still working, albeit poorly (emails aren't coming in as fast, and the yellow "something's not right" message isn't going away).

Another strange thing happened just moments ago: I regained access to various Google sites (except YouTube). This only lasted about a minute or two before returning to the "connection failed" screen.

This is purely speculation as I am in no way a computer expert, but it seems to me that all we can do is wait for Apple (or whoever) to resolve the issue.

Same here! Thank god, I was thinking I was going insane and searched hi and low for a solution in all of the threads. None of the solutions worked.

Thanks for posting this and putting an end to my feeling that I somehow broke something.

Seems to be back for me! Google Search, YouTube, Drive are all working with the https!
