Safari Internet Connectivity after Sleep/Resume – Quick Fix for Mac Users

Hi All,

This is a neat little fix for an OS X Yosemite issue which has plagued me for quite some time, and it appears others have had this issue too.

Issue Description : Safari refuses to open web pages after your Mac goes to sleep and resumes. This can also happen if you close the lid and pull it back up. All other web functionalities remain operational (Mail, Chat, Other browsers).

Solution :

1. Open the Spotlight Bar (Command + Space)

2. Type “terminal” and press return.

3. Copy-paste the line below (click thrice to select)

sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-

4. Press return

5. Enter your login password (It won’t be displayed on screen)

6. Wait for the command to finish processing ($ sign will appear once done)

7. Exit the terminal

8. ….and, done.

The command saved a lot of my time, and hopefully it’ll help you too.
