Fixing Safari issues on iPad can take seconds to fix due to an unknown minor issue, or it can take a lot longer. Here's how to fix it when Safari won't work on an iPad.

Causes of Safari Not Working On iPad 

There are many reasons why Safari may not be working on iPad. Try these troubleshooting tips to figure out what's happened.

• Your iPad is out of date. If your iPad is not up to date, you may find yourself running into trouble loading standard apps including Safari.
• You're offline. If your iPad doesn't have a data connection, Safari won't be able to load any websites, making it look as if Safari is the issue.
• Your iPad has a major problem. If your iPad won't load any apps including Safari, the problem may be deeper than just the one app.

How to Fix Safari Not Working On iPad 

If your iPad won't open Safari or it won't load correctly, it severely limits your ability to browse the internet. Here's how to fix Safari not working on iPad. 

Restart your iPad . Many common issues are solved by restarting or rebooting the device in question. Restart your iPad to hopefully fix Safari.

Check your data connection . If your iPad is a Wi-Fi model, check you're connected to a Wi-Fi network with internet access. If your iPad has a cellular connection, check it has a signal and is working correctly. Tap Settings > Cellular and check the toggle next to Safari is On.

Check Airplane mode . Check if Airplane mode is enabled on your iPad. If it is, you won't be able to browse online.

Check content restrictions . If you have parental controls set up on your iPad, these may stop you from browsing using Safari. Check the settings to confirm this isn't the issue.

Clear your browsing history . If Safari opens but is unresponsive, clear your browsing history to see if that makes it work more effectively. 

Disable Safari suggestions. Safari suggestions can sometimes cause Safari to crash. Try disabling them by tapping Settings > Safari > then toggle off the Safari Suggestions switch.

Update your iPad . If you haven't updated your iPad in a while, you may need the latest version of iPadOS to correct any issues. It's simple to do but set aside a while for the update process to complete.

Reset your iPad . Resetting your iPad to factory settings removes all your personal information but can sometimes solve an underlying issue previous steps haven't solved.

Contact Apple . If none of the above fixes work, you may have a hardware issue with your iPad. If you have remaining warranty or AppleCare+ , the appointment and fix may be free.

The first thing you should check is that you're entering the correct URL. If you're typing it manually, try finding a link. If you're following a link, try typing it by hand. The website may also be down, and you should try again later.

The best way is to delete your Safari data. Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data .

How to Fix Search Not Working on Apple Safari

Authored by: Support.com Tech Pro Team

1. Introduction

Searching the web is something we do every day. Whether you are searching from Safari's address bar, or have its homepage set to take you to your favorite search engine's website instead, you've likely gotten accustomed to the way you search on a daily basis. If that search experience has suddenly changed seemingly without warning, that's a clear sign that something is messing with Safari's settings without your knowledge or consent. This guide will help you make sure that Safari on your Mac is configured properly so that your search experience returns to normal once again.

Tools You'll Need:

• A paperclip
• iPhone charging cable
• Access to a computer with iTunes installed
• Any other non-consumable tools needed
• Comment out tools section if no tools are necessary

Supplies You'll Need:

• Any other consumable supplies
• Comment out supplies section if no supplies are necessary

Before You Begin:

• You must have access to a computer with iTunes installed.
• You must have that thing for the other thing so you can do the thing.

You must have this thing before you whatever.

• Title of GP User Should Do First
• Each individual prereq should have its own box like this. Not all will contain multiple links.
• Comment out prerequisites section if no prereqs are necessary

Windows runs on computers produced by multiple companies, such as Lenovo, Asus, Dell, Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, Acer, and Sony.

Apple is the only company that makes macOS computers.

2. Clear History and Saved Data

• Open Safari.

• Select the Safari menu, then select Clear History.

• Select Clear all history , then select Clear History .

3. Remove Problematic Extensions

Extensions provide extra features to Safari. Sometimes, these Extensions are not coded well, break after an update, or they change the way Safari works in a malicious way to show you advertisements.

Disabling or removing unneeded or unwanted Extensions can help resolve these problems.

Some pop-ups are created from extensions/add-ons installed on your browser. We will be going over steps to remove the extension.

• From the Safari menu, choose Preferences .

• The following steps can be repeated to remove multiple browser extensions.
• Click the Extensions  tab. Click on Uninstall  for any extensions you want to remove.

• You will get a confirmation window.  Click on Uninstall to confirm removal.

• If a new tab opens up, you can close it by hitting the X .
• Extensions are now gone, you may have to restart your browser for it to take effect. If you removed a malicious extension, it might have changed your homepage.

4. Remove Potentially Unwanted Programs

Potentially unwanted programs, or "PUPs", often arrive bundled with your computer or can tag along with another software program you meant to install. Most times, they are snuck into the EULA as a "Recommended Offer" that many of us are so accustomed to just click right through. Lots of these types of programs end up being junkware that your computer will not benefit from. Unfortunately, some of these programs can add unwanted browser toolbars or extensions that can clutter your browser, track your web browsing, show additional advertisements, or change your search page and other related settings. Usually, unless these types of programs are removed, they will continue causing issues with your web browsing experience.

Removing an app may also remove all data for that app. Make sure you have any information you need backed up before removing an app for your Mac.

Remove apps installed from the App Store

• Open the Launchpad from the dock.

• Click and hold on an icon until all icons start to jiggle.

• Click the " x " on the top left of the icon you want to remove.

• Click Delete to confirm removal.

Remove apps via Finder

• Open the Finder from the dock.

• Click on Applications on the left.

• Drag the app you wish to remove to the Trash Bin .

• Right click on the trashcan and click Empty Trash .

Test your browser after removing any PUPs from your machine. This may require you to restart your browser or your computer beforehand depending on what was removed.

5. Verify Safari Homepage Settings

If your search experience hasn't returned to normal, the next step is to verify that Safari's homepage settings are where they should be in order to provide you with the search experience you're familiar with. If any settings were previously 'hijacked' by a malicious extension and were not reverted back to what they were originally set to, your search experience may still not be right.

Your web browser's homepage settings dictate the website that is loaded when it is opened up.

• Open Safari .
• From the (1)  Safari  menu, choose (2)  Preferences .

• Click on the  General  (1) tab, then ensure that the  Homepage  (2) is set to the website you would like Safari to load when it is first opened.

6. Try Your Search Page Again

• Test things out to see if your search experience has returned to normal.
• If your search experience is still abnormal, we recommend that your machine be professionally diagnosed to determine the root cause of the issue.

Safari Not Working After Updating to iOS 17? 4 Solutions

Is your Safari search bar missing after iOS 17 update? Many users are reportedly facing the same issue after a recent iOS update. This isn’t isolated since it occurred after the first iOS 17 update and even with MacBook users. However, you can get the search bar back on your iPhone and fix this error.

Here is an extensive list of all the tried and tested solutions. Let’s check them out.

How to Fix Safari Not Working After Updating to iOS 17

The reason the Safari search bar is missing can simply be a bug after the update; hence, it is fixable. Follow the steps below to start browsing Safari again seamlessly.

1. Force Quit Safari Browser

To fix the Safari search bar missing issue on iOS 17, you can force quit the Safari browser. By force quitting the app, you essentially restart it, which can clear any temporary data or processes that may be causing the search bar to disappear. This step is similar to restarting your computer to fix software issues.

Time needed:  2 minutes

Here is how you can do it.

Then, open the Safari browser and check if the search bar is back.

2. Change the Settings to Single Tab

Sometimes, Safari’s tab settings can affect the visibility of the search bar. You can restore the missing search bar by changing the settings to Single Tab and then back to Tab Bar.

• Now, open the Safari browser and see the search bar at the top of the screen.

If not, follow the above steps again, change the tabs to Tab Bar, and then check if the error is fixed.

3. Force Restart iPhone

If your iPhone faces any software issues causing the Safari error, you need to force restart the iPhone. Here is how you can do it.

• Press and Release the Volume Up button.
• Press and Release the Volume down button.

• Release it when you see the Apple logo on the screen.

The iPhone will now restart. Once the process is completed, you can check the Safari browser.

4. Contact Apple Support

If none of the above methods are working and the Safari search bar still needs to be added, you should contact Apple customer support from their official website.

Since this error occurred after the recent update, you can wait for another update that might come with the necessary bug fixes. However, it is best to speak to an Apple expert about this, and they can help you further.

How to use the Smart Search bar in Safari on iPhone and iPad

• How to search bookmarks and web history using the Smart Search bar

How to search the text on a specific web page using the Smart Search bar

How to change your default search browser in safari, how to search safari from search on the home screen in ios 15.

The Smart Search bar in iOS 15 is a hybrid of the old address and search bars melded into one universal place to type and go. You can access your default search provider, your browsing history, saved bookmarks, and even specific words on web pages, all through the unified Smart Search bar at the top of your Safari browsing window. It makes searching for something on your best iPhone more straightforward. Here's how to use the Smart Search bar in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

How to search the web using the Smart Search bar on iPhone and iPad

• Launch Safari from the Home screen.
• Tap in the Smart Search bar at the top or bottom of your browser.

• Type in some keywords or a phrase you would like to search for.
• Tap on the Go button at the bottom right of your screen.

That's it! Safari will now use your default search engine to scour the internet for you.

How to search bookmarks and web history using the Smart Search bar on iPhone and iPad

• Launch Safari from your Home screen.

• Type in some keywords you would like to search the internet for (I searched for "apple").
• Tap on the site or bookmark you would like to navigate to under the Bookmarks and History heading.

• Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
• Open a web page in Safari.
• Tap the Smart Search bar .

• Type the word or phrase that you want to find on the page.
• Tap the word or phrase under On this Page.

• Tap the navigation buttons to jump to each instance of the word if there's more than one.
• Tap Done when you're finished.

Everyone has their favorite search engine. Make sure yours is programmed as the default and use the Smart Search bar in Safari.

• Tap on Settings from your Home screen.
• Tap on Safari (you may have to scroll down to find it).

• Tap on Search Engine .
• Tap on your preferred search engine from the list.

Next time you open up Safari and type something into the Smart Search bar, it will use your newly-set search engine.

In iOS 15 , super-powered the native search functionality available to the left of the Home screen. When you enter a search term in the Search feature, you'll see suggested web searches and even websites based on your term.

• Swipe right on your Home screen to navigate to search.
• Enter your search term in your search bar.
• Tap the search result you want.

As you can see in the example above, the search terms that iOS found for "iMore" will automatically open Safari and search the web using that term.

The Smart Search bar can be at the top or bottom

If you're on iOS 15, you may notice that Apple switched the search/address bar from the top of the screen in Safari to the bottom of the screen. There's no functionality difference between the two options, but if you prefer the Smart Search bar to be at the top rather than the bottom, you can change the location of the address bar in Settings .

Dear Carolyn Pompeo ,

Thank you for posting to the Microsoft community.

I can understand the inconvenience this problem has caused you.

I think these must be very important to you.

I suggest you try Google Chrome or Edge and try it on a different network.

Please feel free to let me know how it goes.

Thanks for your feedback.

I am now able to access outlook on my phone through the outlook app. But now I am still unable to access it on my Mac. The message says the outlook url is not a valid address. This makes no sense. Even when I get to the sign in page, and click on sign in, I get that same error message.

Now I am unable to access my hotmail on my Mac. When I go to outlook.live.com, it says Safari cannot open page because the address is not valid. This has to be an error on microsoft's end. I should not have to install another browser on my computer.

Thank you for your reply.

I'm sorry for the Inconvenience caused by Safari cannot open page .

Here are some things you can try.

Resetting browser cache and cookies.

Hope you can solve the problem of not being able to open the page soon.

I’m having the exact same problem, it hasn't worked since yesterday, still

Says that the url cant be shown when I click to follow your link, this must be an error on your side, not one that we individually have to try and manage.

Same problem on my iphone

The same problem happened on my iphone yesterday

I’m having the same problem on my ipad. It started about 3 or 4 days ago

I have been able to access my sign in page again. Log onto just outlook.com instead of using the outlook.live.com that pops up automatically in the browser. Also download the mail app from the app store if you have an iphone snd can access mail that way too.

Where did that app go? How to find a missing app on iPhone or iPad

Apple lets you search in iOS or iPadOS to find apps by name but doesn’t tell you where they are if you have many folders and Home Screen pages. You can both hide Home Screen pages and delete apps from the Home Screen, creating two paths to find missing apps if you want to make them more accessible for launching with a tap from a Home Screen page you use frequently.

First, search for the app by swiping down and entering the first few characters in the Search field until it appears under Top Hit. Press and hold the app icon. In the menu that appears, you will see Add to Home Screen if you previously deleted it from your Home Screen. (Delete an app from the Home Screen by pressing and holding it on a Home Screen page, tapping delete, and choosing Remove from Home Screen. You can’t do this in search.)

An app that has been removed from the Home Screen will show the option to add it when you press and hold its icon in search (or in App Library).

You can tap Add to Home Screen and it’s added to a page with room for it. You can control this process more precisely by swiping left on Home Screen pages until you reach the App Library. There, find the app you want and press and hold until you drag it to a Home Screen page of your choice.

If the menu item Add to Home Screen doesn’t appear, the app is on a hidden Home Screen page. Press and hold anywhere on a Home Screen page, then tap the page dots at the bottom of the screen. All your pages appear. The ones you show have a checkmark beneath them; hidden ones do not. Check the box for a hidden page to see if it contains your missing app.

Apple Loosens Its Grip on iPhone Replacement Parts

After trying countless ipad mini keyboard cover cases, here’s my favorite, 5 things i never back up to the cloud, quick links, how to set google search as the default search engine on iphone or ipad.

You might be asking yourself why we'd write an article about how to switch to Google as your default search engine on the iPhone or iPad when it's already the default. The answer is simple: rumors are that Apple might switch the iOS default search engine to Yahoo or Bing at some point in the future.

Luckily you'll have already read this article and you'll know how to switch the default search engine. And, of course, if you wanted to switch to Bing or Yahoo or DuckDuckGo, you can use this same technique to do that. Although with the exception of the last one, we're not sure why you'd want to.

So if you're wondering how to stop using Bing or Yahoo as your search engine, you're in the right place.

Luckily changing the search engine is really simple. Just open up your Settings app, find Safari in the list on the left-hand pane, and then choose the Search Engine option. You can see in our screenshot that it's already set to Google.

You could choose to change your search engine to Yahoo or Bing, but the only other search engine we'd actually recommend for anybody is DuckDuckGo, and then only if you are really worried about Google knowing what you are searching.

Personally we don't care, Google is the best, and we're going to always use them for finding things. Judging by our audience statistics, 96 percent of our readers prefer Google as well.

Google upgrades Chrome for mobile with smarter search, sports cards, and more Material You

• Google Chrome leads the global browser market with over 65% share, while Safari is catching up in the US with 32%.
• Google today is introducing new features like Chrome Action and an address bar revamp, enhancing the user experience on Android and iOS.
• Chrome's customizable suggestions and Discover feed features offer a personalized browsing experience, with live sports cards on the way.

Despite its relatively high processing power and RAM requirement, Google Chrome has several handy features that help it secure its place among the best browsers available . These include a recently added text-to-speech feature in Chrome for Android that allows users to listen to webpages instead of reading them, paired with seamless cross-device syncing that allows you to access your links, passwords, favorites, and folders across all connected devices, even iPhones and MacBooks.

Chrome currently has a huge lead over other browsers, as it holds over 65 percent of the global browser market share . Safari comes in at a not-so-close second with an 18 percent market share, followed by Edge, with a measly 5 percent.

These are the Google Chrome features I can't live without

Chrome is my digital command center and my home base

The same stats, however, paint a slightly different story with isolated data just for the US. Safari is catching up to Chrome in the US , with a 32 percent market share, compared to Chrome's 52 percent. In a bid to make the browser experience better for users, and more attractive than Safari for Apple ecosystem device users, Chrome is rolling out five new features across Android and iOS.

New Chrome Action

This new Chrome Action essentially makes it easier to get things done quickly. For example, let's say you're trying to make reservations. When you search for a restaurant with Chrome, you'll see a small but handy new window right below the search bar with shortcuts to call the restaurant. You'll also see shortcuts for directions, alongside reviews. Google did not say this explicitly, but for the feature to function as intended, it will likely require location permissions to suggest search results closest to you.

Google says the feature is live now in Chrome for Android, and should roll out to iOS later this fall. As of writing, I don't have access to the feature on my Android device.

Address bar revamp for tablets

Inspired by Google's Material You design language, Chrome address bars on Android tablets and iPads no longer take up all the screen real estate. The new address bar will not expand to cover the full page when you tap on it, leaving the website you're currently on in view. While not a huge change, this should make it easier for users to return to the website they were on, or switch between tabs with the search bar open.

The feature is available now on both Android and iOS. Check the gallery above to see what the new search bar looks like on an iPad and an Android tablet.

Personalized Search suggestions

Google is introducing new shortcut suggestions within Chrome's address bar that aim to make it easier to access frequently searched prompts. The feature essentially learns how you normally search for a specific website on Chrome, and what you type to get there. As shared by the tech giant, for example, let's say you always type in "schedules" to find the timings for the local bus or train, and head to a specific website on multiple occasions, Chrome will learn the pattern and start recommending that website on top of the search results. As of writing, I am not seeing the feature on my Android and iOS phones.

Live sports cards within the Discover feed

Chrome's 'new tab' page houses a Discover feed that can help you find topics that might be of relevance to you. As announced by the tech giant, the feed is now receiving a sporty upgrade in the form of live sports cards for your favorite teams.

According to Google, if you've followed a team or shown interest in it in the past, you can expect to automatically see a live scorecard within the Discover feed when the team is playing.

Google suggests that users should be able to customize their feed and interests by tapping on the three-dot menu in the Discover feed tab, and even after doing so, I haven't been able to trigger the sports cards yet on my Android and iPhone.

Trending searches are here on iOS

Users generally open their browsers with a purpose, but if you ever find yourself on Chrome on your iPhone with nothing to search for, the browser can now show you some of hottest topics others are searching for.

The feature has been available on Chrome for Android since August 2023. At the time, Google said that the feature should land on iOS later in the same year, though lo and behold, it never came. Well, the feature is here now, and I have it available on my iPhone. To find trending searches, head to Chrome and tap on the address bar. You'll see your recent searches right at the top, but if you scroll down a little, you should see the trending topics other users are searching for.

Safari won't search

As of 11/16/2015 Safari won't search. It just shows "go to this address" in the address window and displays a tab that says "untitled." I can't access any of my bookmarks or perform a search of any kind. I've tried restarting my computer and have had no success in resolving this problem.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

" I can't access any of my bookmarks or perform a search of any kind "

If your Mac is running v10.6.8 as your profile suggests, be aware, Apple has not provided security updates for v10.6 Snow Leopard for several years. Your Safari version is outdated and may continue to cause problems.

If your MacBook Pro is a 13-inch, Mid-2009 or newer), (15-inch, Mid / Late 2007 or newer), (17-inch, Late 2007 or newer) you can upgrade to v10.11 El Capitan which would install the latest Safari version available which is 9.0.1.

El Capitan is free and available for download from the App Store.

If you decide to do this, make sure to backup all your important data prior to installing El Capitan.

If you use Rosetta, v ery important to read this user tip prior to upgrading from Snow Leoaprd > Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta! | Apple Support Communities

I f you don't want to upgrade to El Capitan, you may have better luck using Firefox .
