I have tried everything to figure out how to get rid of this font.....

and nothing is working! I am going NUTS. Select pages in Safari (craigslist of all things) and my Mail program want to be in this crazy font, which I was told is probably Helvetica fractions. I found it and deleted it from all possible locations I can find, and also deleted some others that people mentioned even might cause a problem. I have cleaned out font cache with Onyx numerous times....not sure what else to do at this point. Also I tried to go into my fontbook program to "resolve duplicates" and I can't--if I select all fonts I can see it in the edit menu but it is greyed out. What gives? Is my whole fontbook program maybe messed up? Thoughts/ suggestions welcome. If you told me gargling salt water standing on my head would fix it I would try it at this point.
thanks

What about the fontbook not being able to resolve duplicates?
Try deleting the 'com.apple.FontBook.plist' file.
HD/Users/yourhome/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.FontBook.plist
any other fnts that can commonly cause problems besides the few that are mentioned all the time?
These two can cause problems 'Times Phonetic' -- 'Rougue Stencil-Type' but probably checked for them.

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. Help!

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

When recording voiceovers, I click the stop recording button at the end, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the "click" sound before I send off the recording!

My computer crashed and I was using Chrome, not have firefox and cannot figure out how to get my "Favorites" into firefox. I have located the file on my computer, but it's not on any ISP.

I am trying to get my computer back in working order and use Firefox instead of Chrome. I have my "favorites" folder on my desktop but cannot figure out how to link it to my Bookmarks and get websites to come up.

If your "folder of things" are bookmarks exported from Chrome then see the link that Tony has already posted ie
[[Importing bookmarks from Google Chrome. ]] '''<-- clickable link above '''
Once you have those bookmarks in firefox use the firefox Bookmarks menu to see and click on the required bookmark, that will take you to the location of that bookmark, which usually will be somewhere out on the Internet.
To use bookmarks in firefox read [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/#bookmarking Firefox Features]

Trying to change itunes country, get an error saying I cannot do it until I have redeemed my 5 credits, can't figure out how to get rid of the credits...Help?

how do I spend song credits? Can't figure it out...trying to change store from US to other country and it won't let me do it until I've spent my credits but I can't figure out what kind of credits they are or how to use them - my profile simply says "5 credits"....Aaaaarghhhhhh...... Help?

Hey rcstangeland,
Thanks for the question. Free song credits are redeemed first when purchasing a song from the iTunes Store:
iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
- Free song credits are redeemed first.
- If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
- If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
- If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Anyone figured out how to get rid of the address bar tooltips??

I asked this about a year ago. One guy responded with some editing tips using the developer tools, but did not mention how to get to the files to edit them (he was recommending using Interface Builder). I cannot understand why there isn't a preference setting to disable all tooltips in Safari. I find them to be extremely annoying & want them to go away. So, if anyone knows how to make them disappear, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
**NOTE** I am not referring to the information popus that are part of some web pages (although it would be nice to eliminate those as well). I am referring to the little yellow rectangles that pop up when you hover over things like the stop button, refresh button, address bar, etc. I do not need to be told what those buttons or areas do, so I want this annoyance gone. **NOTE**

Have a look at this macosxhints Forum thread. Otherwise, I haven't seen a way to remove these annoying pop-ups. I've sent feedback to Apple in the past. Perhaps you might want to add your voice via this link.

If you're seeing a message in your web browser that your Mac is infected with a virus, and given a phone number to call for help, you're being scammed. There is no virus. See:

You have a 1st generation iPod Touch.
It can be updated to 3.1.3 by purchase. See here Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility. You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply. You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler. If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish. However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
Ask again. I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice. As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities. At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

I have a Verizon IPhone 4 and i can't figure out how to get my ringtones from an app to my iTunes account, it doesn't have a tab for Ringtones! I have tried unplugging it and checking if would show up but it didn't, how do you enable the ringtone folder?

I have a verizon IPhone and i can't figure out how to get my ringtones from the app to iTunes, my account doesn't have a ringtone section in the liRingtone Folder?brary, how do you enable the ringtone folder?

Edit > Preferences. Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes.
Not sure that really answers your question though.

I'm trying to transfer data (docs, emails) from G4 iMac running os 10.3.9 to brand new iMac on 10.8.1 I'm stuck, any help greatly appreciated. (Ethernet or wifi networking are both options if I can figure out how to get the machines to communicate.)

I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine. By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
- or use Migration Assistant but in my experience, Migration Assistant isn't very reliable and fails to migrate large amounts of stuff.

I have TB 24.6.0 and I deleted the menu or tool bar from my address book and I can't figure out how to get it back.

I am trying to figure out how to efficiently copy a contact so I can add the contact information to an email. While experimenting I unchecked the menu bar or the tool bar from my address book and now I can't figure out how to get it back. So you could say I have two questions for which I would welcome suggestions:
1. How do I get my menu/tool bar back into my address book?
2. How can I efficiently copy and paste contact information?
Thank you
Rowdy1

The alt key or F10 will reveal hidden toolbars. Then use View- Toolbars to turn them back on.
Then press F9 when in a write window to turn on the contact sidebar for access to your address books.

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!
