Font book - window pop up that says bad font

So I got my mac back after the harddrive was erased so it was brand new. I uploaded a bunch of fonts from before and I was trying to install them all. Then my computer got slower and when I would start my mac a window would pop up saying BAD FONT so I would go to the direct place and erase the font.
Is there a way to restart font book to its old settings before installing font?
or know how to find all bad fonts?
I validated the file from library-fonts and my font folder i brought in and erased the ones that had a x saying error but I still get the window.
and what is the normal amount of fonts we can have active.
also when I click on disable I don't see a difference.
I just erased the font folder I had brought in and there is no different in the amount of fonts in font book.
sorry for the questions, hope I make sense.
thanks
I had posted this in macbook pro but cmcsk told me about posting here in hopes that I could get more help.

Here's a great article for you . . .
It's a little long, but the most important stuff about the fonts you need
is in the first 25% of the article. The article, by Kurt Lang, will tell you which fonts you really need, etc.
http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
The only thing still giving me pause, is you statement that you're clicking on the "Mac HD
from the computer." If you are seeing the icon the Mac, and the word "computer" totally
within the Font Book pane, then that's fine to delete fonts marked with a warning.
Just make sure you read the beginning of the article first, OK?

Everytime I open Firefox 5, a window pops up that says,"TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined,"with an ok button on it. I want this box to disappear.

Everytime I open Mozilla Firefox 5 Beta, a window pops up that says, "TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined," with an "ok" button, after I click ok, it opens firefox, how do I stop this window from appearing everytime I open firefox? It never did this with previous versions of firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

HT1926 When I click "download" a window pops up that says "Thank you for downloading ..." but the QuickTime file is not downloaded.

Has anyone else run into this problem with downloading QuickTime (When I click "download" a window pops up that says "Thank you for downloading ..." but the QuickTime file is not downloaded.)?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do. It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do. This device doesn't have a camera in it. When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it. I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

Try here:

Can anyone answer why in logic pro X I keep getting a window popping up that says Directory not found, result code= -120, followed by another window saying, Fade update failed, (error -120)?

I am running the latest version 10.0.5 through a Macbook Pro that has just been upgraded to 16GB Ram and a 960GB SSD which has made it as fast as ****. I upgraded because I was experiencing problems before and it was suggested that I didn't have enough Ram?
I am using a Focusrite scarlett 2i4 and an Alesis Q61 midi controller. Weirdly, just trying to put a bass line down on a track using the Alesis, the bass sound goes out of tune with the track during recording only. This is very frustrating! I surely can't be the only one experiencing this?
Many thanks
Rob.

Hi
Time lost could be a problem, but.....
Sadly, I don't think that there are any Apple docs relating to networked storgae issues with Logic. Other than a 'school' or 'business' setup, NAS/OD/AD setups are not usual circumstances for audio.
If the issue is one of data backup & security, it may be enough to automatically backup the students local work folders to the NAS.
If the issue is one of the Users being able to work from any Mac and pick up their files from the server, you are not likely to resolve this problem, without copying the files to the Local Mac.

TS3212 i saw the file download security window and did enter run, it only gets so far and then a window pops up that says there is a problem with the download and can't install. what do I do?

I did see the security download window and entered "run", but it only got so far and a window popped up saying "problem with download, can't proceed". What to do?

This happened to me, too. If I remember correctly, I had to set wither iTunes or my computer to download files one at a time instead of all at once. I don't remember how I set it to do this, though. I also remember that I had to delete the files and downloads and restart them all after I did this. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Have numerous download windows popping up that say that it is a firefox doc. Don't know how to stop

I have the same download windows popping up repeatedly they say they are a firefox document. I have tried closing them but they keep coming back. I have opened them and nothing is there.

Try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions

When I bring up Firefox, I get a very long skinny black window popping up that says "DOWNLOAD ERROR". Why?

This first happened today. When it did it, I noticed that the toolbar at the top had changed. I right clicked and got my bookmarks and navigation bars back. The black box with the title DOWNLOAD ERROR comes up each time I click on Firefox. How do I fix?

I can't update mac os x from 10.6.4. During installation a window pops up that says: "error occurred during installation" I also cannot update iTunes

cannot update itunes or mac os x. I don't know why. Help?

Did you attempt to update with Software Update? Try this instead: download the combo updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
Once downloaded, unplug all peripherals except keyboard and mouse
Verify disk as outlined previously
install update
repair permissions (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)
restart Mac
run Software Update
if there are many updates available, install a few at a time
repair permissions after the install
restart Mac

In the middle of undating to iTunes10.6.3 a window comes up saying an older version on bonjour cannot be removed. Then further into the download a window comes up that says the download was interrupted and can not finish and try at a later time.

I am attempting to upgrade to iTunes 10.6.3 and halfway through the download a window pops up that says "cannot remove an older version of Bonjour", then I click Ok on that and then further into the download and upgrade a window pops up that says cannot complete , itunes upgrade was interrupted, try at a later time.What do I do now?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Hello Suzanne,
Thank you for providing the details of iTunes unexpectedly quitting. You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already. I found an article with additional steps you can take to further isolate and troubleshoot an issue like the one you described:

If you use extensions like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flashblock that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content. 
You can see the installed Firefox extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions".
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
