im running a desk top mac, for the last couple months things have changed with my privacy, most sites it comes up with 'Your connection is not private" go back, i click on the advanced tab to get me to the site, but on some occasions i cant get into the site at all, can some kind soul guide me to a way of fixing it,failing this i guess i'll have to take it to a mac dealer
One easy possible fix can be to make sure your date and time is set correctly on you Mac, as it can cause this sometimes.
Otherwise, here are all the causes and they’re remedies:

thatguy,thanks will go through those items,the one saying i may have an outdate browser, im wondering if its that has i think at ten years old now it might be apple trying to put a spanner in the works like they did to my old iphone
Could be, Apple’s good at that. Either way, the solution should be somewhere in there. Good luck!
mimns2 i've recently install opera and it does the same on that ,just tried the date and time by removing the ticks in the boxes, restarted the computer and put the ticks back in and checked date and time tried to open a site on safari and got the same response, have to bugger off to do a job so will try some more later, and will let you know the outcome,, cheers
one thing before i head off, i checked the forum certificate its says invalid from friday 14th january 2021, also says country ...US, / organisation ..Let's encrypt, / common name..R3 , don't know what all that means or whether it has anything to do with my problem but just putting it out there for discussion
no luck so far trying to work out how to get into the keychain to check certificatesQuote:

Welcome to the forum. Your computer stopped booting and there was alot of important data on his hard drive.
I guess English might not be your first language even though you are from "Oregon"
If you are legit please feel free to pop over to the introductions thread and introduce yourself.

I feel your pain when it doesn't work every time. Privacy glitches can be a real headache.
Comes with computer problems....ends up getting pompous spelling lessons!
Dont worry about these nerds haha
Sounds like your standard 'tick in the wrong box' type thing mate. I get them with my pc and you just have to take the regular precautions (make backups of anything you're gonna change)
Trial and error till you get it to stop. For us with pc's its usually a registry thing but for you with an apple i have no idea. Is there a 'norton' type antivirus on apple? If so, burn it. Burn it with fire!
Haf similar. Got to where mine wouldnt oprn most websites. Too old to update safari rtc etc. So last week I laid the thing over an rsj and gave it the message with a sledgehammer, then sent the particle to the local dump. Never buy apple anything again.

You know, sometimes those pesky connection issues can be due to date and time settings or even something funky with your antivirus. But here's the twist – I've found this cheap Windows keys subreddit with all sorts of tech insights. I know it sounds a bit counterintuitive, but trust me, some solutions can work universally.
I got tje geek speek runaround big time and wasted time and money for no change to planned market obsolesence. Geek speek is foreign and undecipherable to anyone over the age of 40. Actually I smashed another even older computer the same day. Seriously thinkinking about smashing the remaining one since a widows update stuffed its office email a couple of years ago.
It's not your Mac - its the site you are trying to access.
Your Mac is telling you that when it tries to establish a private connection to the site, the site is not responding correctly.
If you can install Opera, you can install Chrome for Mac.
If your Mac is really so old, as to be running tech from last decade, get a new Mac.
Do you think that you should be able to stream Netflix on an old black and white CRT TV?
i could make that work :PQuote:

Whilst there are enthusiasts that could fix "pope..." s problem, looking for "any computer guy", on a hunting board, is no substitute for asking Dr Google with details like make, model, error message, et al.
Sometimes you gotta learn how to use your own stuff.
Dr Google is being replaced by Mr Bard.

- Reload the page. This is often the simplest way to fix the error.
- Try a different browser. If the error persists in one browser, try using a different one, such as Chrome or Firefox.
- Clear your browser's cache and cookies. This can sometimes fix the error by clearing out old and corrupted data.
- Check your computer's date and time settings. If your computer's date and time are incorrect, this can cause the error.
- Disable your antivirus or firewall. Sometimes, antivirus or firewall software can interfere with secure connections and cause the error.
- Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If you're using a public Wi-Fi network, the error could be caused by a problem with the network.
- Update your macOS. Outdated software can sometimes cause security errors.
If you've tried all of these steps and the error is still occurring, you may need to take your Mac to a technician for further assistance.
- Clear the SSL state on your computer. This will reset the security certificates on your computer.
- Change your DNS servers. Your DNS servers are responsible for translating website addresses into IP addresses. Changing your DNS servers can sometimes fix the error.
- Reset your network settings. This will reset all of your network settings, including your Wi-Fi passwords.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:I hope this helps!
- The "Your connection is not private" error can occur if you're trying to visit a website that uses an insecure connection. This could be a website that's not using HTTPS, or a website that has an expired or invalid SSL certificate.
- The error can also occur if there's a problem with your internet connection. Make sure you're connected to a strong and stable internet connection.
- If you're still having trouble, you can contact the website's administrator for help. They may be able to troubleshoot the issue and fix the problem.
