Hi! Sorry to hear you're having trouble opening Newsmax on Safari. Let me help you get this sorted out. Just to understand better, are you trying to access the Newsmax website through Safari on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7, or is it the Newsmax app that won't open via Safari? Also, are there any error messages you see when you try?
While you provide that, here’s a good starting point that often helps with issues like this on Safari:
1. Clear Safari History and Website Data:
- Open Safari. - Go to the Safari menu at the top left of your screen and select "Preferences." - Click on the "Privacy" tab. - Click "Manage Website Data," then "Remove All." - Alternatively, you can also clear your browsing history by going to "History" in the menu bar, then "Clear History."
This can remove any corrupted cache and cookies that might be preventing the site from loading properly.
2. Check Safari Settings:
- Still in Safari Preferences, click on the "Security" and "Privacy" tabs to ensure that JavaScript is enabled and that no content blockers are interfering with the site. - Some websites need JavaScript enabled to work well.
3. Restart Safari and your Mac:
- Close Safari completely (Safari > Quit Safari). - Restart your Mac to refresh system resources.
4. Test on Private Browsing Mode:
- Open a new Private Window (File > New Private Window). - Try accessing Newsmax there. Private mode doesn't use the existing cache or cookies.
5. Check for Safari Updates:
- Since you're on macOS 10.15.7, make sure Safari is running its latest version compatible with this OS. - Go to "System Preferences" > "Software Update."
If after these steps the problem continues, it might be a compatibility or site-specific issue with Safari. Some users have reported that clearing Safari’s history helps but it’s not ideal as it removes all browsing data1.
Could you try clearing the website data and testing in Private mode first and let me know what happens? That way we can decide the next best steps together.
