Fan starts up on certain websites

I've noticed recently that my Macbook's fan seems to start up when I visit a certain blog (feministing.com) much more than any other time. What does this mean? Is it bad? I'm not 100% sure its not just coincidence, but it seems to be pretty consistent.

I just loaded that webpage. There is so many adverts loading that it seems to use more resources than ordinary sites. You could try and block advertising on your browser. A few suggestion on this thread:

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying i hav'nt got a valid certificate, and safari can't open it, why has this started happening?

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying Safari can't open it Because the certificate is not valid, why has this just started happening, and how do I correct it?

Either someone has installed a client side cert into Safari or the site in question has let their SSL cert expire. (not your fault). You could try using Firefox or Chrome instead.

TS1398 Just got the mini, specifically to get jobs on a certain website. Jobs change all the time. When I go to website, it has not updated from the first time I logged in on the mini. It works on my laptop just fine. HELP!

My sons just bought me an ipad mini especially so that I could check a certain website on which I sign up for jobs throughout the day. The website is updated constantly throughout the day with new jobs and the status of the jobs I already have accepted and worked on. (It shows the percentage of the job that has been done.) It worked fine only the first time I logged on with the mini. Since then (yesterday,) when I check the website, it lets me log in, but I only see the same exact information that was there the first time I went to the website using the mini. It seems to be 'frozen' on that particular first look. It doesn't update at all.
I know it is not updating because I have also been checking with my notebook computer and with the notebook, the website is up to date.
Maybe its Safari?
I had the same problem when I used a friend's iPad.
I wonder if there is a setting or something that I could change to allow the website to update to the time I check it.
If not, then the ipad mini is a terrible disappointment and I would like to return it.
If you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance...

Certain websites will not load at certain times.

Hi,
for the last few weeks, I have been having difficulty with loading certain websites at certain times of the day. The problem is affecting websites that I've been using for years, such as hotmail, Facebook, eBay, BBC Newsfeeds, Lego website, CBBC, to name a few. It happens whether I use a bookmark, a hyperlink or whether I type it in, myself. The page will start to load, then just hang,with the loading wheel spinning. The page does not freeze and you can stop, go back, reload etc. Sometimes, ebay or hotmail will load eventually, but there will be no, or only a few pictures and the website will consist of just a list of text headings where buttons and frames should be.
The problem exists in Firefox (3.6.25) and in Safari and Internet Explorer (the latter two are fairly old versions. Firefox is my default browser). The problem is the worst around the local afternoon and seems to go away entirely at about 11 o'clock in the evening. This is way in excess of local high volume times and other image and video heavy sites work fine during the outages. Other secure (http) sites work during the outages, too. This doesn't happen every day and appears both on weekdays and weekends. When I have outages lasting several hours, I have looked on the wider web (Google always seems to work) and I can find no traffic suggesting that significant numbers of other users are having problem.
So far, I have done the following:
cleared out cookies and the cache.
reinstalled Firefox
restarted the router
carried out a virus scan using ClamXav
disabled all security and blockers
disabled all add-ons
started Firefox in Safe Mode
None of the above made any improvement. Then, suddenly just before 11pm, everything started working, as per previous nights.
This is very strange behaviour which is extremely annoying and disruptive. Can anyone help, please?
I'm using a G5 2.7 with OSX ver 10.4.11. I have not changes the hardware and software seetting for many months (that I'm aware of) nor have I installed any new software (that I"m aware of).
Yours Aye

BDAqua,
thanks but already done. I've tried an old laptop and although it was loading the offending pages this evening, it was taking 20 mins to load each page. I need to go to my ISP, I reckon.
Yet again, all the relevant pages go down at around 1700 and then spring to life again at 2300.

Header and footer overlap on scrolled pages on certain websites

When scrolling down on certain websites multiple pages appear overlapping on the header and footer, eg Asos

The version is 5.6.0 .
I think that is quite outdated .
But the error for the start body tag is coming in the xmlp desktop and i have the latest BI publisher.

Are certain websites simply not mac compatible?

I have had a mac for the last 4-5 years and have had only one issue in the past, which turned out to be easy to fix. However a new one is starting to crop up in that I have found that certain websites are windows and IE only. Is there a way around this? This has only occurred to me on three sites, unfortunately two of them happen to be pretty important. I would like to stay away from windows and IE as much as possible, nor do i wish to put either on my mac.

HI,
From the Apple Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Advanced tab. At the bottom of that window click: Show Develope menu in menu bar.
Now from the Safari Menu Bar click Developer/User Agent. Try one of the options there. This function only applies to sites for IE only.
Microsoft stopped writing IE for the Mac years ago. In order to run IE you would have to install Windows with BootCamp that creates a partition on the startup disk and install anti virus software on that partition.

Status Bar disappear and Window autoresize on certain website

I have a problem with Firefox 5 (it was autoupdate from 4), the status bar sometime appear sometime disappear (it just appear on this Ask a New Question web page. I could not bring it back as I would like to anytime. On certain website the windows size automatically adjust to slimmer and taller (eg after on fastmail site reading email). It also gave strange problem on google search page from time to time (?? ABE ??what is it how to fix), sometime I got it sometime didn't.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Certain websites media player wont work after installing Firefox V4

After installing Firefox Version 4 the media player of certain website fails to start and stream normally. I have updated all the needed plugins and add ons and still have the same issue. I have created a Mozilla account and downloaded Spark and my Spark says invalid username or password when trying to login to Spark to start a chat session

Thanks for the step-by-step. However, I'm having time-out
issues when trying to download (step #1) anything from that server.
The "file download" window opens, but the progress is so slow - it
ends up timing out. Is anyone able to download any of those
files?

Satellite A300 - fan starts running every 2 mins for about 30 secs

Hi
I wanted to know if its normal that the fan starts running on my Satellite A300-1hv every 2 mins for about 30 secs?
This is happening continuously. I am on vista maximum performance power.
Help will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, this is nothing unusual because the fan starts rotating if a certain temperature level was reached.
There is an temperature sensor and if the temperature goes to a higher level the cooling modules begins to cool the internal devices like CPU, GPU.
If the temperature decreases then the fan slows down.
It seems there is nothing wrong and you shouldnt be worried

Cannot access certain websites?

I have troubling accessing certain websites on my Mac. I started using them about 4 days ago and it was all fine until yesterday I try to open them and they don't work. I know I didn't change anything with my wi-fi or anything like that. My wi-fi works just fine because my other sites with other stuff work fine. I asked my frined if he could access them from his computer and it works for him. I've tried different browsers such as safari, chrome, firefox but they all give me the same message "the connection was reset". I can access the websites through proxywebrowsing. com, but I can't use certain features
At this point I don't know what to do. I've tried to google for a solution but they all were confusing to me and just didn't work. I think from what I undnerstand i have to change something in my network settings, but how and what am I supposed to do there? I am a newby when it comes to fixing network, so if you have a suggestion in trying to change something please tell me how to get there. Please Help. Thanks!

Thanks for helping me figure out how to turn off ipv6 on Mountain Lion, but it doesn't change anything. I don't know like I've stated in my description I was able to access the site just 2 days ago and I didn't change anything. Also why can I access the site from sites like proxybrowsing.com but not my own web browser,
Sorry, I have never had to fix a problem like this, so I am obviously really new and not understanding.

Cannot access certain websites on any web browser

Recently, for the last month or two, my mac won't let me look at certain websites. (i.e apple.com, hulu.com, some yahoo.com sites.) Cannot find a solution on any forums yet that work for me. The internet works fine on the other computers in the house and I can access those sites with no problems. I have snow leopard on my Macmini, and I tried reinstalling it and the websites worked ONE time, then if I closed the browser the sites would come up with the error, cannot connect to the internet. Or in the case of the Hulu site, show text only with no formatting. I also tried reinstalling Java, and it did the same thing, would let me see the website once and then not again. Not sure what else I can try. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there some update i have not installed yet that does not come up in my updates? Thanks for all help.

Same for me, started with Facebook on all browsers (FF, Chrome, Safari)a month or two from now, and today twitter and this very support.apple.com + some software like ClamXav cannot connect anymore to update their database, etc.
In VirtualBox with Ubuntu and VMWare Fusion Win XP : both with FF, same problem, same websites / IP
_It is neither the router nor the DNS_ since my wife's computer works fine on the same network with all those websites and apps (PowerPC 10.5.8)
_It is not the firewall either_ on or off, it does not change a thing.
So far, I managed to make it all work (even apps like ClamXav) by using Vidalia TOR + Tor add-on on FF || Tor Browser (Safari under Namaroka) works great too.
Tor makes browsing a little bit slower and anonymity can have its drawbacks, so it is not a long-term solution.
So for those in need of a quick access to their websites :
www.torproject.org > Download > Tor Browser Bundle for OS X Intel
Now, why is that it works with Tor and not without ?
What to do to solve the situation ?
TIA for any help !

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

Firefox cannot load certain websites and I've tried all suggested options to fix the problem.

I cannot load certain websites (my bank, some public/civic offices, etc.) on Firefox or Internet Explorer (I usually use Firefox) and have tried all the suggested options in Firefox Help to remedy this problem: clearing cache and cookies, making sure no proxy is selected, allowing cookies). How do I fix this? I use a broadband internet connection that is shared.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Firefox can't load certain websites that Chromium can

I tried Ad Block Plus with Linux Ubuntu 11.10, and now certain websites that can be loaded with Chromium cannot be loaded with Firefox.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Fonts screwed up on certain websites

My Firefox installation at work used to display all websites fine. But starting a few months ago, the fonts displayed on certain websites (that always looked fine before) started looking of low quality. These websites look fine when I look at them at home or with IE.
I've tried working with Tools - Options - Content - Fonts and Colors - Advanced but haven't found anything to help yet. If I turn OFF "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" the problem fonts are fixed, but then all pages display the same font and I don't like that.
I've even tried removing and re-installing Firefox, but that doesn't help. In fact, my computer manages to remember all my old bookmarks without my having to re-import them, so there are some settings files that are not getting erased when I re-install.
Below is a screen grab from BoingBoing.net so you can see what the fonts look like.
Does anyone know how to fix this, or how to re-set all the font settings on Firefox back to the defaults?

Following up, attached is an image from BoingBoing.net showing what the displayed fonts look like.
