Weird web pages and funny screen

Hi there!
I dunno if it happens to me, but sometimes when i go to particular webpages.I get some weird display(banner) stuck onto my desktop which came from the website. The only way to get rid of it is to restart. It seems like it's part of the display itself.
Does anyone no about it?
I would post an example but i don't know how

could you post some links to the particular websites that cause these display problems?

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...

Check System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver>Screen saver Tab for that.

I don't know what else to say about this. It is a screen that comes up in its own window everytime I open Firefox

hello sofg777, when you're at a page you want to print try to press ctrl+P and select a different printer than the Microsoft XPS Document Writer which seems to be set as your default printer in firefox at the moment.

Web pages and/or images not loading

This problem started a few weeks ago once every few days or so, then got more and ore frequent where now it is happening multiple times each day.
I am using Safari 6.1 on an iMac running OS 10.7.5
Random web pages (some way more than others) will not load when I go to them. Sometimes, the text of the pages will load, but no images. Sometimes the URL progress bar will go across about an inch and the screen will go to blank white (this is most often) and it will just sit there. If I leave it alone, usually the web page will finally load about 4-10 minutes later on its own.
I have talked with my ISP and we have tried the following fixes, with no positive results:
When the problem happens, I try pinging the website {using Network utilities) and it always pings just fine.
When the problem happens, I run Traceroute (using Network utilities) and email him a screen shot of the results.
I have changed my DNS numbers to OpenDNS, per his comments.
I have removed the router and plugged in direct.
I have replaced all my Cat5 cables with new Cat6 cables.
While the problem is happening, he can ping me just fine from his end.
When the problem happens, I open Firefox and go to the same site, and have the same blank results in Firefox.
When the problem happens, I can open a new Safari window and go to other sites just fine.
This morning, I had the same issues, so I left it to clear on its own. I then went to Outlook to check my email and I had two emails where the images would not load at all, just like the web pages. So I left it alone for over 20 minutes and still no loading. Then I quit Outlook, re-opened it and the images came in just fine. During that 20 minutes, the web pages loaded in Safari in the background.
I found and read a discussion about this issue ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/22125235#22125235 ) and per that conversation, I created a GUEST user account, closed out of my account and logged in as a GUEST. I then used Safari to browse the web ans while it was faster, eventually after about 30 minutes, I found a page that would not load (one of my usual suspect pages). I then sat back and let it go and after 5 minutes, the page loaded just fine.
HELP!!!!!

Interesting side note . . .
After writing this (above), I clicked on the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the page and the screen went blank white and it sat there for more than five minutes, when it finally went through. SO, i had my problem occur while submitting my question about the problem!
Awesome!

IPad won't copy text from web page and paste in email

I'm trying to copy text from a web page, and when I paste it in Note or in a new email, it copied the web page link, not the text. Doing this in iPad. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I think it depends on what you are trying to copy.
To copy, put your finger on the text and hold until the copy thing shows up. Adjust the size to whatnyou want, then touch copy.( I know, you already knew that). To paste, touch the screen where you want it to go until the paste thing shows up.
I just did it
glass, metal and minimalist design. Two. ( pasted from a web page)
Some pages are set up so that you cannot copy words or images.
So try a different page to see if you are doing it right.
If you want, post the link to the page and we call all try it as well.

Why don't any web pages fit the screen? I have to zoom adjust every single page.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

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.

HT4922 Downloaded 5.1.1. to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Running very slow sluggish! Is there a fix? Sound like other users are experiencing same problems. Anyone have a solution?

Downloaded 5.1.1 to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Email seems to be ok. iphone running slow and sluggish. I have read several other users have experienced the same problem. Any solutions?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

How can I use Automator or AppleScript to get text from a web page and paste it in execl?

I don't know how to make scripts or complexed automator workflows... that's why I'm asking.
I'm trying to make a simple app or script to ask me what text to extract from a web page, like name, address and phone number of a web page and paste each one of these data in the righ cell of excel.
I was thinking to promt a request from automator or an applescript to ask me which text to extract from the page or to look throught the HTML of the page to search for specific html tags, from which extracting text and then importing it, or paste it to the specified execl cell. Name in the name cell, address in the address cell and so on.
Can somebody help me to make this script?
If you know an alternative, like a software that already do this or another language to use, please tell.

Try holding down the alt key as you mark the text to be copied. You can then copy columns to table text.

Want user to click on pic from my Web page and for it to enlarge in awindow

I've uploaded my pic from iPhoto and placed in on my page in iWeb. I want the user to be able to click on the pic on my web page and for the page to "enlarge" so the user can see it better. Possibly in a new window.
Is this possible in iWeb?

There are a couple of ways. See my demo pages Fancy Zoom and Opening Item in New Specially Sized Window. Both will do what you want. The code uses is also described.

Dynamic web pages and Access

I am starting to work on some dynamic web pages to upload
information to an Access 2003 database using ASP. What I would like
to do is to give the user a chance to review their information
before it actually gets sent to the database. That is to say, after
they fill out the form on the dynamic web page, and click a submit
button, I would like to bring up a new page with their info
summarized and give them the chance to review it and/or go back and
make changes before it actually gets written to the database. Any
suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm not sure what the question is. It sounds like you already
know what you want.
Have the form post to an asp page that retrieves the form
values and displays them in the format you want. Give them the
choice to go back and make changes or submit. The second page can
also be a form that you dynamically populate from the first page
values.
I'm not really sure what the benefit of this is. Why do the
users need a different page to review what they input from the
original page? What added value will there be?

Difference between Web pages and journal

I cannot really pin down the difference between a web page and a web journal in Aperture 2. Any ideas? I'm sure it is obvious but I'm dumb today.

Here's a sample of a travelogue done with the Journal mode:
