Can i use a web page as my screen saver?

Does anyone know of a (free) way to have my mac display a web page of my choosing as its screen saver?
thanks for any help

Hi, morganshandling.
If there's not an RSS feed for the page, you might try IdleWeb.
Furthermore, to use Web pages with an RSS feeds in the RSS Screen Saver, they must first be bookmarked in Safari. Once you've bookmarked the RSS feeds you want, you can use one of them as the feed displayed in the RSS screen saver using the instructions in either of the following articles:
• "Safari 2.0 Help: Displaying an RSS feed's articles as a screen saver."
• "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Setting up a screen saver"
For additional information on RSS and Safari, search Safari Help (Safari > Help > Safari Help) for RSS.
Good luck!

  • How can I fit a web page to the screen?

    How I can open a web page and have this fit on the screen on my mac. every program I open displays on the top the whole page but only half screen.

    Hi z,
    In the upper left hand corner of the window, click the green button. Or you can "grab" the bottom right corner of the window and drag it to whatever size you want.

  • Scroll Bar missing on Safari web pages and unfamiliar screen saver image

    I recently upgraded my OS X from Panther to Tiger v. 10.4.11 and upgraded to Safari 3.1.2. Now the scroll bar down the right side is missing from the open web page in Safari. Where did it go and how do I get it back?
    Also, unfamiliar images appear, something like a screen saver when I leave my computer for a
    few minutes without putting it to sleep or shutting it down. It's a black/white/gray portrait of
    a woman and as the picture moves around the screen, the image magnifies. I have no idea
    where this image came from nor how to get rid of it. Any ideas?

    Hi Busy1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

    The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
    Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
    If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

    Might try this for Scroll Bars...
    http://lifehacker.com/5040043/add-double-scroll-arrows-to-both-ends-of-the-scrol l-bar
    when I leave my computer for a
    few minutes without putting it to sleep or shutting it down...
    Check System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver>Screen saver Tab for that.

  • How can I use my Events album for the Screen saver?

    I would like to use the "Events" album from my iPhoto 09 for my Screen Saver pictures source, but can't seem to find a way to do this.  I tried to create a new folder in the Screen Saver preferences, but couldn't find a way to get to the Events album.
    If anyone has a tip I would appreciate the help.  I'm using Snow Leopard on a 27" iMac. Thanks much!

    Try System Preferences - Desktop & Screensaver - Click the + sign at the bottom of the box on the left (see the picture) then choose where the photos are stored and you should be good to go.

  • Since the last 3 upgrades (thru Firefox 7.0) I can't print a web page. This is true using 2 different printers. I have an iMac 10.6.8.

    Since the last 3 upgrades (thru Firefox 7.0) I can't print a web page. This is true using 2 different printers. I have an iMac 10.6.8.

    Just read that the default memory storage on FF is set to 5 mbs. You can up that by clicking on tools, advanced and overriding the default and set it to 50 mbs (if you use lots of tabs) or 10 mbs (if you use just a few).
    I open a blank tab and clear the cache periodically, while I am working. I can have several tabs open and watch videos on Youtube, by doing this. Have you cleared your cache?
    Since I have an older computer, I've also used CCleaner for years. I use it often, but always before signing off. You can get it free...search for CCleaner, download from Pirifoam free. I didn't change any of the settings and it clears crap left behind from uninstalling programs, clears all browsers at once of: cookies, history, passwords, etc. I love it!
    I had freezing, before using the "open blank tab, clear the cache" thing. Now I have no problems. Plus, as I said...you can change the default memory usage for FF and that should help too.
    Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

  • Can not open any web page in Safari

    can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad.  All other wireless features work fine.

    If this does not work then try a reset ,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Can't export a web page

    I've just upgradded to iLife '08. When I try to save a web page the same as I had with the previous version of iPhoto, it doesn't work. The following steps are taken:
    Highlight eight photos in a folder
    Select File>Export
    In the Export Photos window, select Web Page tab
    Make other selections on the page and click Export
    Then I've tried various file destination folders and the Desktop
    When I click OK, an Exporting sub-window appears for a moment, then it changes to say
    Unable to generate web page and only gives me the option to Cancel
    It gives me no clues as to why it is unable to generate a web page. It has created the folders for the Images, Pages and Thumbnails but there isn't anything in those folders. I believe this is the same steps I used many times with iPhoto '06 to create a web pages.
    Does anyone have an idea on how to save web pages with the new iPhoto? How can I revert back to the old version of iPhoto?
    Thank you for you help.
    Bill H

    Bill:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. See if this will help.
    Next, log into another account or boot into Safe Mode and see if you can export to a web page. If so then there's something amiss with your account. If not, then a reinstall of iPhoto seems appropriate.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Following the upgrade to 34.0.5, I can no longer access web pages of our SAN, airco, vSphere Web Clients, etc. How can I correct this?

    Following upgrade to 34.05, can no longer access web pages of the SAN management interface, the airco system, the vSphere Web Client, etc. All still work in Chrome.
    The airco system gives an error:
    Firefox cannot guarantee the safety of your data on 10.32.16.50 because it uses SSLv3, a broken security protocol.
    Advanced info: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
    The SAN management interface and vSphere Web Clients display an empty page. Not sure whether these also have problems due to SSLv3.
    I understand you wanting to be cautious, but I seriously doubt I need to face an attack from our SAN. Please, at least give us an option to connect regardless.

    hello, ssl 3.0 is disabled in firefox versions 34 & upwards by default - if you want to re-enable it you can do that like this which will make you vulnerable to the recently published poodle attack though:
    enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''security.tls.version.min'''. double-click it, change its value to '''0''' and restart the browser.

  • Haveing problems with Safari. It gives me an error message. Safari can't open the web page, because it can't establish a secure connection to the server. It only seams to have a problem on https sites. Any help would be apreciated.

    Safari keeps giving  and error message. " Safari can't open the web page( insert web page here) , because it can't establish a secure connetion to the server.
    It only seams to have a problem with https sites.
    Any help would be appreciated

    The "s" in "https" indicates the site is a secure server--usually a site that will require a password.  Connections to secure servers can be blocked by parental controls.  Are you using any parental controls, either through OSX's settings (in System Preferences) or third party parental control software (such as Netnanny)?  If so, check the settings to make sure they will allow the connection.

  • How to resize logo in AI file for use on web page? [was: new with  this program]

    Hola , i got my logo and the online company  sent it in low resolution, I asked for the proper resolution for my web page and the company sent me this :
    The AI (Vector) file(s) in the zip file are to be utilized for all high-res.
    and commercial printing applications.  It is an Adobe Illustrator file and
    can only be opened and/or utilized if you have this professional design
    software.  All commercial printers will have access to utilize these files.
    I got the adobe illustrator and I am trying to fix the logo and just can not get the size , any tip will be apprecite !

    the company is giving you the vector (master) file that you can make use for web (RGB) or print (CMYK)..
    logo for web, there are 2 points in here:
    the size
    1st. check the artwork's unit → (menu) File → Document Setup → Units → Pixels (as for web)
    then resize / scale the artwork to your size needed - you can also use Width & Height value in Transform palette
    the resolution (you asked for)
    Ai is not like photoshop that you need to change the dpi, because the artwork is vector format ('resolution free')..
    only while exporting (saving to raster) there will be dpi selection:
    (menu) File → Export → Save as type (PNG / JPG) → Save → PNG or JPG Options → Resolution

  • Can't access teaming web page

    Hi, I've installed teaming 2.1 on a sles11 x64 virtual machine. I've used sun java jdk 1.6.21. After install I start the teaming server but then can't access the web page (I've used port 8080 in the URL). I used default network settings. I believe the mysql database has been created correctly. I think the problem is with Tomcat/java. I've included the output of tail --f catalina.out
    /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin/catalina.sh: line 309: /usr/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory

    Error occurred during initialization of VM

    the path shown in the first line of this output is not what I specified for java during the installation of teaming (I used /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21). Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Lou

    Hi Lou,
    Have you set an environment var for the JAVA_HOME?
    you can set it system wide, create or edit /etc/profile.local, and add:
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21
    Then reboot the system so the env var gets set globally.
    If the site is still not accessible, rerun the Teaming install choosing to reconfigure, double check the JAVA_HOME path set and see if that does the trick.
    Cheers,
    Willem
