What is the padlock icon on Safari tabs?

On some websites, such as facebook.com, there is a padlock icon on the tab in Safari? What does that indicate?
Thanks,
Mike

i had a "padlock" icon which was next to the full screen button at the top right of the safari window which i pressed accidently trying to toggle full screen. So now i can't download using command alt A and on some sites in the URL has the grey on grey https with a padlock icon, Also there use to be a small google search engine next to the big URL space which is missing...I'm sorry if it's a little hard to understand :/

  • Hi, when setting Safari, what is the meaning of "Open New Tabs in Background"? Thank you.

    hi, when setting Safari, what is the meaning of "Open New Tabs in Background"? Thank you.

    Previously, whenever you wanted to open a new browser window in mobile Safari, or whenever you tapped a link from within another app, Safari created a new page.
    But in IOS 5 things have changed, you now have 'open new tabs in background, a great feature.
    On any browser window that you have selected in Safari or any linked windows, you open Safari on iPad/iTouch or iPhone you have tabbed browser windows and can go to any of the sites without having to open up a new safari window.
    It saves you time.

  • Help with the padlock icon during setup

    I just plugged in new ipod for setup and after agreeing to contract, the next screen is showing a padlock icon and I cannot go any further.  What do I do?  HELP!

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manually managing your songs.

  • Secure Padlock Icon On Safari

    I never noticed this before on the old version of the forums but now I see the padlock icon for a secure site at the top right of the Safari window. Just curious if it was always like this, and if not why is the site set up this way now. Also is this one of the reasons the site is so slow to load anything on an iphone or ipad, or is that a separate issue. It's so tedious now trying to go through the forums on my mobile devices that I've given up trying.

    Hi
    It is because the site is now running via SSL/HTTPS all the time. There is no 'non-secure' option, as far as I can tell, because if you try to open http://discussions..... then you are just redirected to https anyway.

  • What does the padlock on I-Tunes mean?

    I just bought my Nano today and having troubles. I hooked it up and it automatically downloaded my songs on it. But now it's got a padlock at the bottom of screen by the bar that shows how much memory is used and what's left on my I-Pod and the list of songs are not black for me to click and move. What does the padlock mean?
    thanks

    The padlock icon indicates that you have the iPod set to auto transfer. That's also why the songs are 'greyed out' and not selectable or editable.
    If you want to change this, you'll have to select manual transfer instead.

  • What's the optimum version of Safari for OS 10.3.9?

    My first post here.
    What is the optimum version of Safari for use on a PowerBook G3 "Pismo" running OS 10.3.9? I'm currently running 1.2 (v 125). I've downloaded 1.3.1 but when I try to install it says "Not compatible with this system." Is there some version in between that would work better? If so, I haven't been able to find it, and the Update Software feature doesn't find it either.
    I did upgrade my firmware at some point, but I don't remember how to look up the version. Any help most appreciated.

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The highest version for Panther is 1.3.2.
    Before you can install 1.3.1, you need to install 1.3. This may get you there: Apply the 10.3.9 Combined Update. Do not use the computer while the Installer is running. Once complete you'll need to restart the computer.
    Then, via your Finder, go to your Applications>Utilities folder. Open Disk Utility. When open, click on the HD on the left, then First Aid Panel>Repair Permissions on the right. Once complete, open Safari.
    When the Safari browser is open, go to the Safari Menu>About Safari. Which version are you using? If it is 1.3.2, then you're good to go. If it is 1.3, then run the 1.3.1 installer again. Once finished (I believe you'll have to restart), run the 1.3.2 update. Once the installer/restart is complete again "repair permissions".

    What is the grey icon with a cross and circles that has appeared on my home page? I can't remove it.

    I am a 71 old lady who just got a brand new iPad Air yesterday and was having the same problem that nobody knew how to resolve. So I decided to search the net and arrived at this page. Although my problem became a problem no longer after reading your "medication" I decided to join this community just to say how much I appreciated it and how much better my sunday just became because of it.

  • Under firefox 4 i no longer see the padlock icon in the lower right of the screen when i log onto a secure site

    The padlock icon is no longer visible for any site that requires a login

    One of the main principles of Human Computer Interaction [HCI] is that there should be immediate visibility to the system's status. Forcing the user to "click" the identity site key and try to locate the lock-pad encryption icon is poor design. The icon has become a default standard expectation of the INTERNET user community across browsers. Internet Explorer, of which, I'm not a fan - has done away with a bottom bar, yet retained the padlock in the top right of the menu bar [it is conditionally displayed only when the site is secure]. Firefox has made a fundamental UI mistake, and amazingly trumped by the generally inferior Microsoft team. Don't follow the FF team and parrot the propaganda - 'yea we screwed up but you can determine the same thing by taking several extra steps- because we are FF team and you are just the peon users". Death of the open source community?

    It means you have made edits but not saved them. At least, that is what it's supposed to signify.
