...by studentsWorking in a major box store as a Computer Technician has given me a lot of experience dealing with many different browser problems. One of the most common, and baffling for the amateur technician, is when the browser chooses not to load only certain websites. Frequently the site in question is Windows Live Mail or, as it was known before, Hotmail. The particular security coding on these websites makes it especially susceptible to cache corruption. The solution is extremely simple! Just empty the cache of the browser. |
Who uses Safari?
Typically people who use Apple computers use Safari. You can also use Safari on Windows computers.

Troubleshooting Safari
Safari won't open this webpage:
If you are sure you are connected to the internet, follow these steps to clear the cache[1].
- Click Safari in the menu bar
- Select Empty Cache
- When prompted, click the Empty button.
How do I clear cookies in Safari?
To clear the cookies in Safari, you must:
- Click Safari in the menu bar
- Select Preferences
- Click Bookmarks in the dialog box that appears
- Click Show cookies
- Clear the cookies
- You can click Remove All to clear all the cookies
- You can choose cookies to remove one by one
Safari is acting really weird!
If Safari is acting up, and clearing the cache and cookies does not fix the issue, it usually indicates the program isn't working correctly. To fix this, you must re-install Safari. Re-installing Safari is relatively simple (It involves uninstalling it, and then downloading the newest version from Apple's Website.). If this still does not fix your issue, the problem would be either with your hard drive, or operating system. Fixing an issue like that is beyond the scope of this article.
