Annoying error code 6 on Mac
I've installed Microsoft Edge on my mac for education. After installing the Edge on Mac, one main issue I've notice once Edge open see error message. (Can't Open this page "Error code: 6") This error code occurs on every page included Settings page. For this error code, I've to restart my mac in order to temporary fix. But now couple weeks later, same issues occurred again. This error code is keep getting irritated because of this error code, I've to save all of my work & restart my mac for just to use Microsoft Edge.
- I just started having this problem. Began after updating my iPhone to iOS 14, which prompted MacOS to update Safari (and probably some other stuff).
Soham1010 Same same! I was mid use of it on my Mac and it was working fine, but the Safari update released today was installing. As soon as that safari update installed it was error code 6 in edge. Quit and restart no good and re install did nothing. Issue occurs locally also for pages such as settings, not just websites. Using MacBook Pro 13 (2019) with 10.15.6 and Edge 85.0.564.51
I solved it now.
REBOOT then OK. -_-
Soham1010 well, this is the first time I've encountered it in half a year of using Edge for Mac. and it happened, immediately after updating Safari to 14.0, on my macOS Catalina 10.15.6. so, something seems to have been changed at a deeper level common to both apps and how it accesses the 'Net. just my take on it.
Same problem here! Just installed Safari 14 on Catalina and boom.....error code 6.
- Reboot now. and it is solved.
davidlcoffin6719 I have the same issue in Catalina 10.15.6 immediately after installing Safari 14 last night and setting it as the default browser. I had been using Edge since beta in December and set it as default since the public release with no issues, until this Error Code 6. Also all extensions are crashing,
Hi,, I've corrected this issue justo restarting my mac (used shutdown option instead of just restart).
Hope this helps.
- I have same issue. uninstall and reinstall again, but i cannot solve it now. plz update.
I'm seeing the same issue. Just started after updating Safari and macOS to 10.15.6.
I am having the same issue on a 2020 Mac mini. It started this week after a macOS update to 10.15.6. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the mainstream, beta, and dev channels to no avail.
Edge is my default browser. All of my links are stored there. This is really screwing me up. I can't work without my browser links.
Any idea what's going on or when it will be fixed?
- Rebooting seems to have fixed the problem. I guess the Safari update in macos 10.15.6 caused an issue with Edge until rebooting...
RickCulpepper I assume this is because you have installed a Safari update for IOS 14 on mac. Right now, there is nothing we can do, not even uninstall or repair, we just have to wait for Microsoft to update their browser. But I think you could also downgrade to a lower software version, I'm not sure...
