Both the rotating squares (some sort of process going on???) and the ruler are always on in the Mac version of Illustrator! Is there a way to hide these??? I'm working on SVG images and it shows up in BOTH the split view AND the live view! So annoying!

Have you looked for a setting in Preferences?  There _should_ be a way of turning this off.

PS.  Then, again, it's Adobe.. <sarcasm>and Adobe _always_ knows what's best for their customers.</sarcasm>

Switch from Live to Design in the document toolbar.   If you don't see it, go to Window > Toolbars > Document.

I'm mostly viewing SVGs which can't be seen in Design view. Is there any way to disable and/or hide these things?

You can continue to work in Code view.  But to remove the ruler, you must be in Design, not Live.  Try it.
