Have you ever received an error message at the top of your Google Analytics page saying “This page has encountered an error that may prevent it from working correctly.”?

If you do, then the solution is this.  This error appears to be an issue with the Google Analytics servers and would be solved by using an alternative browser.

The said error mostly appears for Safari 5 users. Many complained that after upgrading to Safari  5, Google Analytics stopped working for them. Others say they got logged out and needed to sign in again.

Thus the conspiracy question arose: Does Google hates Apple's Safari?

It's worth mentioning that the most popular answer in the Google help forum that discussed the Google Analytics - Safari problem says:

"An item in the Analytics blog, dated June 20, 2006, indicates that Google Analytics indeed supports Safari.  I have not seen anything since to indicate otherwise.  The key here isn't dissing one browser or platform over another, but building applications that are supported universally, cross browser and platform.  I believe Google is committed to doing that.  Someone obviously got some programming wrong (Google - please fix it)."

So that’s basically it. This problem can be fixed by using alternative browser, like Chrome or Firefox. But if you’re not a Safari user and still experience this problem, the solution is to set the date and time of the computer.

Hope this helps...
