Activity icon always running on certain websites

When viewing certain websites in Safari (such as AllThingsD) the Activiy icon is always spinning. If I switch to another tab, the icon will disappear after a few seconds, but will return as soon as I switch back to the offending websites. Is there some kind of information being constantly pulled from my ipad? Why do only certain websites cause this? I'm concerned about what the sites are doing and how it affects my battery drain, since the activity is continuous.
Thanks in advance :-)

My activity icon keeps running, only during my emails. How do I stop it?

I didn't think of this earlier, but if it makes any difference: the PC I'm running iTunes on and have had this iPhone connected to is running Windows 7 Ultimate.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

My mac pro suddenly turned off by itself, then after 10 minutes it started to work again with "no battery available" icon and an always-running fan!

it's bugging me since I don't know if it's recharging or not..

Mine has just done this too. Did you find out what it was?

On a certain website, it says to click here to download plugin (Java). When executing the download, it says 'the installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings. I'm running 4.01. It was fine before the upgrade.

On a certain website, it says to click here to download plugin Java Runtime Environment. I receive the message installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings. It was fine before the upgrade to 4.01. I have another PC that has IE on it and it works fine and again it worked fine until the upgrade to 4.01. I've done the off-line download but in Firefox it still says I need the plugin and still results in the installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings.

You can install Java from here: http://www.java.com/en/ 
You also need to update your Flash installation since the one you have at the moment exposes your system to attack. It's a similar story for Adobe Reader.

Firefox downloads a ".php" file when I browse certain websites. I'm on a Mac and running OS X 10.6.4

Firefox is automatically downloading ".php" files when I browse certain websites.
Without permission, it just simply downloads the files and prompts me to indicate the program I would like to open the file with.
I work for a school district and Firefox 4 was installed in 4 other computers and it did the same thing with all of them.
I then reverted to the previous version of Firefox and continued to have the same problem.
Please advise

Hold down the shift key when you launch an app in Lion to "discard previous windows".

Windows Vista Boot Camp always running

I just recently purchased a macbook air ( 1.86, 128gb ssd) and I've been extremely happy with it. I was wondering if people have noticed that the fan is always running when using Vista but not in OS X?
Is there a solution?

I have the same machine with Vista running via Boot Camp and Fusion. Although the fan does run more frequently than when running Mac o/s, it certainly doesn't run "all the time" as you report.
Note, however, that I only use Vista for occasional browsing with Explorer and to run one app for which there is no Mac alternative; could be that it's the app you're running that makes the fan more active?

Fan always running due to Dashboard

I noticed lately that my fan is always running so I opened up activity manager and saw that dashboard was using 80% and was not responding. I forced closed it and the same thing happened. It's happening as I write this.
Is there a way to disable dashboard? How can I make this stop? The battery is running out so fast because of this...
Thanks

Sounds like you have a problem with one of your widgets. Have you downloaded/installed any new ones recently? Have you downloaded and installed any updates for your computer?
Rather than killing dashboard, make a note of what widgets are running. Close all of them (to do this, click the + icon in the lower left corner, then click the X on the widget you want to close.
If the CPU usage decreases after closing the widgets, you can then relaunch them one at a time and observe the CPU usage. The widgets are in these folders: Macintosh HD>Library>Widgets
Macintosh HD>Users>yourusername>Library>Widgets
It sounds to me like one of your widgets is stuck & that's causing the issues.

Web browsers cannot load certain websites.

There are certain websites I am never able to access from my computer. I've tried to access these sites using Safari (5.1), Firefox, and Google Chrome, and I always get a message stating (at least in Safari) "Safari can't open the page xxxxx.com because the server where this page is located isn't responding." My girlfriend runs off of the same Airport as I do, and I can access these sites from her computer. Any idea what's wrong with my computer, since it doesn't appear to be either a browser or ISP issue?
Thanks!
Nick

Need software to block access to certain websites at night

OK. I'm going to admit it. I've got a shopping compulsion that's somewhat out of control when I get tired at night.
Anyone have suggestions for software or another method to block access, ideally to just forms, or just certain websites, between certain times? I know if I'm the admin I'd be able to get around it, but it would help stop me from buying when I'm not awake enough to make good decisions.
I'm thinking a children's filter would work, but none of them seem to go more specific than turning off the internet entirely between certain times, and that's a bit too broad. In any case, I'm pretty sure I could script just turning off the Airport link for a time if that's what I really wanted.
Any suggestions for scripting the Airport config or other site lookup files (the ones that say ebay.com -> this address), perhaps? That would keep me from getting on with the iPhone too.
Thanks, and
Aym

You might try the script below. It works by looping through a predefined list of text items, comparing each item to the URL of the frontmost Safari document. When a match is found, the frontmost document is replaced by a blank page. A dialog then appears informing you that you've attempted to reach a prohibited web site.
The script below should be copied and pasted into your AppleScript Script Editor. From the Editor's File menu choose Save As > File Format: application. Be sure to check Stay Open under Options. Once saved, the script can be launched from the dock or desktop, or launched as part of a repeating iCal event, with iCal's alarm feature set to open the script file at a certain time each day. Once running, the script can be stopped at any time by selecting its docked icon and choosing Quit from the menu.
+The script:+
*property prohibited_list : {"ebay.com", "amazon.com", "shopping.yahoo.com"} --> add or remove items as desired*
*on idle*
*tell application "System Events"*
*if exists application process "Safari" then*
try
*tell application "Safari"*
*set x to URL of front document*
*set y to every character of x as text*
*repeat with an_item in prohibited_list*
*if an_item is in y then*
*set the URL of front document to ""*
*tell application "System Events"*
activate
*display dialog "You have attempted to access a prohibited web site." with icon stop buttons ("OK") default button 1 giving up after 10*
*end tell*
*tell application "Safari" to activate*
*end if*
*end repeat*
*end tell*
*end try*
*end if*
*end tell*
*return 5*
*end idle*
Good luck.
+The script was tested in Mac OS 10.4.11. Leopard and Snow Leopard users' results may vary.+

Safari won't load certain websites but Chrome does :/

Hello!
I am running OSX 10.10 and safari ver Version 8.0 (10600.1.25). I had the Yosemite beta before this current installation and Mavericks before that.
When I try opening certain websites with Safari they will not load. They will get stuck in the "loading" screen (the blue bar under the omnibar will start going from the left to the right) but the page simply wont load. When I try to access the same website with Chrome it loads instantly. Is there any way to reinstall Safari from scratch to see if that will solve the issue?
Thanks!

MIght be a plugin ...
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Enable plug ins. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference then you need to troubleshoot third party add ons > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And try deleting the cache associated with Safari. (Not the same as deleting the cache from the Safari menu bar.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Clck Go
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCaches.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
And several of the sites you mentioned require the Flash plugin. Try uninstalling the currently installed Flash plugin, then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure there's enough free space on the starutp disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon in your Desktop. Click Get Info.
In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
And remove any items in System Preferences > Security > Login Items
Same for HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Startupitems
