Strange Characters in Mail and Safari

Hello,
Just got my mini home and have noticed strange characters appearing in both Mail and Safari.
It seems to be a font problem, but changing the fonts in mail and safarui prefs doesn't seem to fix it.
Specifically: The apple start page rss stories display a weird font, so do the mail headers in mac mail.
Yes, I did a search of the forum and the only things I seem to be coming up with are font issues related to outlook receiving mail on a pc.
Any suggestions?
Stefan

Without seeing what you mean by "strange characters" it is hard to tell, but the most common cause of gibberish text is the font Helvetica Fractions or Times Phonetic. Dump them if you have them. Also clean your font caches with FontFinagler (use google to find it).
Send a screen shot if you like (tom at bluesky dot org).

Problems accessing mail on Mac Mail and Safari

I'm having problems with accessing my email account, both through Mac Mail and Safari. The domain appears to be blocked. I receive the following error message when I click on the alert icon beside my inbox in Mail:
Unable to Connect
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “***” or try again.
The server returned the error: The server “email domain” cannot be contacted on port 993.
In Safari, I receive a message that it can't find the server when I try the URL.
Both methods of accessing email work on my laptop on the same internet connection, so it appears to be a problem unique to this machine.
What should I do?
Will

Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
wmail.speakeasy.net
Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

Mail and Safari crashing

Not until I moved to 10.5.2 have I had so many crashes and lock ups. It's as if I'm working on a PC. The problem seems to be when I'm working in mail and Safari. I know there is no solution to this problem but I thought I should post my frustration. I've switched my browser to FireFox and will see if that helps. I will also try and find a different mail client other than Mail.

Hi, Patrick.
1. You wrote: "I've long had a problem with my computer going to sleep via Energy Saver automatically - it doesn't, the screen goes dark but the hard drive continues to run. So whenever I do want the computer to go to sleep, I have to do it manually."I presume the slider for Computer sleep is not set to Never?
Check these Console logs for clues. Look for large blocks of rapidly-repeating messages being written to the logs cited in that link. This indicates a process is logging excessively, preventing sleep. Known causes of this include software distributed with Canon scanners and HP All-In-One Printer-Fax-Copier devices.
If you find large blocks of rapidly-repeating messages, post a small sample for analysis.

I upgraded to 10.4.6, and now it happens with Safari and Mail - every time. Any suggestions?"Tow thoughts here:1. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. See my "Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch" FAQ for advice on troubleshooting this issue.Good luck!

Problems with Mail and Safari

Hi,
I'm running OS 10.11 and am having some consistent problems with Mail and Safari on my MacPro Dual 2.66. Here they are:
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, selecting these applications from the dock no longer opens the application (or a new window if already opened), but causes them to be revealed in the finder.
In Safari, when this problem occurs, another symptom seems to be that new windows will ONLY open in a new tab, even though I have preferences set to open links in a new window. If I click on a bookmark within a folder in the bookmark toolbar, Safari will open ALL the bookmarks in the folder in new tabs!!
In Mail, when I open my Inbox, clicking on various messages will highlight (in blue) ALL the messages I'm clicking on, instead of simply displaying the highlighted message in the reader.
The only way to get things back to normal is to reboot my machine, which is getting to be a total drag, especially since this seems to happen fairly often.
One other thing that may be related- if my screen saver is running, and I move the mouse to go to an active screen, the computer will "freeze." It stays like this indefinitely- I figured out that if I press the button on the machine itself it will go to sleep, and I can wake it up and then everything is fine, but I don't understand what's going on.
I have tried using Disk Utility and Disk Warrior, and have used OnyX to clean out my system cache and aall sorts of other stuff, but to no avail.
Is anybody else experiencing any of this? I'm starting to get really frustrated. Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
Andrew

Scott,
I had posted earlier that I had Flash payer problems and then QuickTime and PDF preview problems too, on my Intel PowerMac. I could not figure out what the problem was, because fixing permissions and moving plugins did not work. Console indicated that the Quicktime components were not found, with the problem in a webkit pref file somewhere (nil field value). Anyway, I bailed and reinstalled Leopard from a 10.5.0 DVD, and then updated using the combo updater to 10.5.3. Everything worked. Then, after the 'Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 1', it all broke again. This time, repairing permissions resulted in:
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home/lib/jvm.cfg", should be 0, user is 95.
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/classlist" , should be 0, user is 95.
Now it all works again. This is obviously a flaw with the Java update, and also somehow Disk Utility did not find it earlier. Anyway, take a look at reverting the Java update, or manually changing user for those files (I suppose user 0 is root, but maybe it is nobody).
Obscure....

Mail and safari hogging cpu - corrupt preferences?

I am having a major problem when I run Mail or Safari under Mavericks on my iMac - they hog all the CPU making it hard to do other things unless I keep quitting the Mail Web Content or Safari Web Content processes using Activity Monitor. This also has shown up in other discussions on this board and no one seems to have a resolution to the problem. But the curious thing is that I only have the problem on my older iMac, but on my new MacBook Pro that also runs Mavericks, runs Mail with identical settings (and is accessing the same server) and runs Safari with the same bookmarks there is no problem. So the problem must be with something on my iMac that is causing Mail and Safari to keep running these Web Content processes and taking over the CPU.
In the old days I would have assumed it was a corrupt Preferences file and deleted that, but no one has sugggested this. Is this possible? If so, what should be deleted?

While everything had been working fine, this morning I installed the latest update to the operating system and I am back with the same problem (although I am only having Mail Web Content hogging the CPU and not Safari Web content this time). I am posting below some information from the log as you suggested (sorry if it is too much but I don't know what you are looking for). Let me know if there is anything else you need. Thanks for the help LInc.

Safari and 10.6.2 upgrade. Mail and Safari will not open.

I upgraded to 10.6.2 and Safari. Now I cannot open my Mail or Safari. I get a message that says it Unexpectedly Quit. I see in the details it says unable to gather system configuration information. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

HI,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.launchservices.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash, restart your Mac and try to launc Mail and Safari. If that doesn't help...
Download and install the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo)
It's ok to do this even though you are running 10.6.2. Make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Mail and Safari no longer connect to the Internet, but connection is live?

I have a Quicksilver G4 running OSX 10.4.11 with Safari 3.0.4 and Mail 2.1.3, connected to the Internet via Ethernet and a BT home Hub setup. Recently the Mac refused to connect to the Internet although a PC connected to the same hub did. I tested the connection with a laptop and found the cable to be fine and a good connection. I ran system diagnostics which tells me the Mac is connected to the Internet and the connection is fine - except that Mail no longer sends or receives mail, and Safari tells me I am not connected to the Internet.
I've tried every test I can think of - the connection appears fine as far as the ethernet cable, Network Diagnostics state that I have a good connection, yet neither application will connect to the server. I have changed no software in years other than Apple updates, and this is the first problem in many months of trouble-free usage.
The BT Home Hub is showing as an active location in system profiler, all else that should be, appears enabled. Can anyone help?
What more can I do to get my Mac back on-line?

Hi Heather,
In System Preferences>Network>Proxies Tab, make sure none are checked ON.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Airport Interface...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
So if you put 17.149.160.49 in Safari's URL bar & it connects to Apple, then these DNS numbers should cure it.

Frequent crashes on Mail and Safari since Lion installed

Since upgrading to Lion on my mid 2007 20inch iMac I get extremely frequent Mail and Safari crashes, usually a few seconds after launch with no user input, and all with the same error on the crashed thread:
__THE_SYSTEM_HAS_NO_PORT_SETS_AVAILABLE__
This even occurs after a totally clean install and no migration of any previous user data. I am only using iCloud for email.
I have tried repairing permissions and run disk checks which are all OK.
Any suggestions?

Images appear as a question mark in mail and safari

I have just noticed a new problem in Mail and Safari. "Some" emails that contain pictures that are links are suddenly only showing the images as a small blue square with a question mark. If I click the "view this email in your browser" link in Mail it opens in Safari but with the same problem! Then if I paste the URL into Firefox or Chrome the email is displayed correctly. The email is also displayed correctly on my iPhone 6. I really can't figure out what has changed as it is has effected emails that are filed and that displayed correctly before. Any help appreciated. Many thanks Phil.

Is this perhaps an iCloud email account?
iCloud’s Junk Filter
As of April 2015, Apple has made its iCloud server junk filter much more aggressive. It is putting a lot more spam messages (and also some good ones) into the Junk mailbox. It also deletes some messages so that they do not appear in any mailbox. This affects all icloud.com, mac.com, and me.com e-mail accounts.
There is no way to turn off iCloud’s junk filter and prevent it from putting messages in the Junk mailbox. There are, however, various ways to make SpamSieve put its spam into the same mailbox that iCloud’s junk filter uses. SpamSieve can even re-filter the messages in the Junk mailbox to rescue good messages that iCloud put there. However, there is no way to rescue messages that were deleted without being saved into a mailbox. Since iCloud’s junk filter cannot be disabled, your only choice is whether or not to use iCloud’s mail service as a whole. If iCloud is not meeting your needs, we recommend switching to a different mail provider.
If it's not an iCloud email account, download the demo for Postbox and see if it will display correctly. Reasonably priced at $9.95.

Images in mail and safari aren't working.

Some images aren't displaying in mail and safari. Jpg's don't seem to be working, but most gifs are (with a few exceptions).
As far as I'm aware no one who uses the computer has changed anything which, as far as I can think, would have any effect on this. I have all the available updates.
Thanks for you're help

it more or less looks and feel ok but...
when I switch between apple mail and safari, everything "freezes" for some seconds (up to 30).
anyone similar experiences?
what could be the cause of that?
its really disturbing.

I am a little puzzled by the libraries and switching between the libraries. My personal computer has the majority of the movies and content that would be transfered to the appletv. I chose to only select a minimal amount of content (of movies and tv shows, music via playlists) so there would be space left that would hold photos. Also, i just want to send over only what I want to view (manual synch) If I switch to my Kids library, it streams all the content well (movies & tv shows)(which is fine and streams well) If I switch back to my library, it shows every movie, every tv show, hundreds of music playlist that I did not choose to see. (stream mode) The only fix is to reboot the computer, and all is well. anyone experience this issue?

Problem transfering info fm old versions of Mail and Safari to new versions

For years I used a G3 iBook with 10.2.8. Now I have a G3 iBook with 10.4.11 newly installed. My problem is with Mail and Safari. I can't get the new version of Mail to import my old emails. And I can't get the new version of Safari to import my old bookmarks. The old versions won't run on 10.4.11. And the new versions can't "see" the old version which I copied over. Any ideas?

The most likely explanation for your bad experince was pre-existing Disk corruption, never messed up on me.
Right you don;t get a choice, and to do it now if the Usernames are the same requires a little footwork, but not too bad if you have Disk space.
There are other ways, like for Mail you could first use Eudora to Import Mail, the import fro Eudora to Mail if you prefer Mail.

Is it possible to view apple mail and safari on the imac at the same time?

I am running 10.6 and would like to view mail and safari at the same time. When I open one the other goes away

Reader is what I meant. 8^(
When I have a Safari window open and then open mail, the Mail window becomes active but the Safari window remains on the desktop. Does yours minimize to the Dock?
