Since noone sems to read the OSX part of this forum I try it here:

On my rmbp recently safari started to give me this error code on a lot of webpages: i
Safari can't open page. Certificate not accepted. nsurlerrordomain:-1205

I used chrome and it worked fine. since I would like to continue to use Safari instead of chrome I am looking for a solution.

Help is appreciated
 
Thank you for the answer.
Isn't there some way to just reinstall safari?
Reinstalling the entire OS seems a bit extreme.
What exactly does the error code mean?
Maybe you finally ran out RAM. /s ;-)

Unfortunately I think the only way to reinstall Safari is to reinstall (or restore) OS X.

However, I'm guessing that's not really necessary. It's probably a coincidence about this occurring right at the new year (i.e. something expiring on 12/31), but you might try googling "safari certificate expired error" or along those lines.

I Googled the heck out of this when I saw Meister's post because I was curious myself and it does look like some sort of expired certificate error. I never found a good fix beyond the reinstall you mentioned. Maybe that reinstalls the original certificates and fixes this?

LOL, yeah, I was only teasing. 😛

If I had any personal experience with this issue or had found a single "fix", I would have posted a link, but there's about a have dozen potential fixes, mostly using the terminal to delete the certificate cache, or something similar, etc. But if one of them works, great.

I think you are right with the RAM. Should've gotten 16gb 😡
I have my soldering iron and hammer ready for the upgrade. 😉

It is not related to the new year. It has been happening for days and still happens.

Thanks for the googeling🙂
Of course I did the same thing before posting here, but I couldn't come up with anything.
How do I reinstall safari?

The direct link here still works.

But if it is a certificate issue, I think that is tied into Keychain and an OS reinstall might be needed to fix it.
