After SL login windows appears with wrong font encoding

I installed SL and the login windows when I switch accounts and the username and password windows before I install things have lost their default fonts. Instead I get squares with an A inside.
How can I get back to the correct font/encoding?

Reset the font databases by booting into safe mode, which also deletes all collections, and then reset things. See Font Management in OS X for more details.

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • IMac won't start up: No login window appears.

    Hello, there, everyone. The problem I'm addressing here is that my iMac is simply refusing to start up. Two days ago I turned it off (because of irrelevant problems), and since then it just won't boot up completely. Whenever I turn it on, it loads past the blue and white loading screens and the grey Apple logo, but once it loads the default Apple wallpaper it won't go any farther. No login window appears, preventing use. I've tried various alternative ways of booting it up, but nothing seems to work. I've tried safe-booting it (Which really doesn't change anything), initiating the Apple Hardware Test (Which freezes once I choose a language), unpluggung the computer both when it is on and off and retrying the start-up sequence, but still no progress has been made.
    My iMac is about four years old, which isn't exactly a short life for a computer, but it still surprises me to encounter such a major problem. If anyone would happen to have any experience with this situation, I would be very greatful for any help at all. Thank you in advance.

    Three beeps usually indicates failed or no ram. Try removing and reseating all of the ram. If that doesn't help and you have access to another mac can you start the imac in Target Disk Mode? OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    You'll probably need to take it in for service, but hopefully you aren't about to learn the hard way about backing up.

  • Prints with wrong font and drops letters. Preview shows font correctly.

    I'm having problems printing some pdfs in Leopard. The preview shows correctly but the resulting printout is in the wrong font and has missing letters. Specifically every time there are two 'f' in sequence they get left out.
    Printing the same files on Tiger or even (Sigh) Windows yield the correct result. I've tested this with 3 printers (OKI C5800, Canon iR5000 and Canon iR C2620N). All with the same result.
    The pdf in question were created with LaTeX.
    Has anybody experienced something similar? What could be wrong?
    I can provide the sample .pdf file if necessary.

    After upgrading to Leopard, I was having trouble with my Samsung printer (ML-2150). Samsung hasn't upgraded the driver since OS 10.3, and it doesn't seem likely that they will ever do it. I found that the Linux-Foundation has an open source driver, which is compatible with a lot of printers. I downloaded the three components, and my Samsung is working perfectly now.
    I would suggest that you give it a try, here is the link:

  • Login screen appears on wrong monitor

    This problem started when I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite 10.10.2. It persists on 10.10.3
    I have two monitors; the main one is 26", the other is 17". Both are NEC. The main monitor connects with a DVI-to-Mini display port adapter. The 2nd with a VGA to DVI adapter. Video card is the stock AMD 5770 with one DVI two mini display port connectors.
    On startup, the Apple logo appears on my main monitor, as expected. Then the login screen comes up on the 2nd monitor. Once I'm logged in, the main monitor becomes the primary display again (according to my user account display preferences).
    I've checked all the preferences, reset the NVram and the SMC, and tried plugging the the main monitor into the other display port. Nothing changes this.
    It's not a big problem, but it's annoying.
    Any thoughts?

    You can change the arrangement of the displays, and assign a primary one in the Displays system preferences (done by dragging the menu bar to the preferred primary display). However, this will not change what display is identified first by your hardware. If you have FileVault enabled, then the login screen you see will be loaded before the operating system is loaded. This login screen simply mimics the OS X login screen, but is in fact stored elsewhere on your disk and used to unlock it. As a result, this login screen will be shown on the display that is identified as the primary one in hardware, and then when OS X loads this may switch depending on your settings in the Displays preferences. Your options here are to either move your monitors on your desk, swap their connections to your Mac, or adjust the primary one along with the arrangement of them in the Displays system preferences (or a combination of these three) to find a setup that works as you want.
    1. When you initially boot and see the login screen, note the connection of this monitor to your Mac. This port is the primary one.
    2. Connect this port to the display you want to be the primary one (to show your login window, etc.)
    3. Once booted to OS X, go to the displays system preferences and ensure the menu bar icon is dragged to this monitor so OS X identifies it as the primary one.
    4. Adjust your display's arrangement accordingly in these system preferences.

    My first guess would be the setting of the switch port connected to the pc. It should be set to client mode (spanning-tree portfast as it's called by some vendors) or else the pc port won't directly get initialized while booting, resulting in the initial dhcp packets sent by the pc not finding their way to the network.
    Could that be the issue?

  • I select photo from iPhoto,go to share:email, photo uploaded to email, type in address, click send, pop up window appears with: email did not go thru because server did not reply - now what, how do I fix?

       I select my photos from iPhoto, go to toolbar, click share and email, photo is uploaded onto email screen and I add photo info and type  in my
    email address, click send at the bottom of page and it after a minute or two, a pop up appears with the message:  your email did not go through
    because your server did not reply.    Have sent the same photo to my email address with no problem just to  doublecheck.  Why will it not
    send out to other email addresses?  Thank you.

    Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there.  Now add it back and try again.
    A more reliable method is to set Mail as the email Client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane.  The Mail client is more reliable, gives you better access to your Contacts, gives you a sent copy and has photo themes similar to iPhoto's in its stationary section.

  • Camera Raw window appears in wrong monitor

    About a week ago, the camera raw window started appearing in the secondary monitor of my pair and I cannot stop it from starting there. It appears with the title bar up off the top of the screen and I can just barely grab the top corner of it from the edge of the primary monitor and drag it out where I can move it.
    Prior to this, if I opened a raw file directly into CS3, it would start in the primary where CS3 is placed or if I right clicked a raw file in Bridge and chose open in CR, then it would open in the secondary monitor where Bridge is located. Now I don't get the choice. This was happening before the latest updates which all appear okay. System is a PC by the way.
    I would appreciate any assistance.

    Okay, here's a lesson for us all. I had accidentally hit the F key (Full screen mode toggle) whilst in there and it fills the screen with no hope of getting to the edges. Once back in normal mode all is well again!!!!! Embarassed

  • System Unresponsive Once Login Window Appears

    Tomorrow afternoon I'll be brought an Intel Mac mini bought almost a year ago in hopes I can fix a problem.  When it boots, it displays the login window, but then doesn't respond to any action, whether selecting a user or clicking on the restart or shutdown buttons.  It turned out that the wireless keyboard batteries were dead, but replacing them resulted in a "connected" message but no improvement.  I had the user reboot into normal and safe mode, but neither helped.  What type of things should I look for?  Thanks for any advice.

    When I had a chance to look at that system, it worked fine.  I wonder if the problem was entirely due to weak batteries in the bluetooth keyboard.  When I booted it, I did see a message about the clock being set to a time before 2008, but I'm not sure what that would have to do with the login problem.

  • Login Problem:  Blank screen after the login window?

    I have a user who has a 2008 MacBook Pro 15" Intel laptop running 10.5.4. It is bound to AD, with managed mobile account on the laptop (cached user credentials). The user is off the LAN right now on a road trip and is having problems logging into the laptop. When she logs in with her user ID and password, the login window takes a long time (15 minutes!) to authenticate her, and then when the login window finally goes away and the user's profile starts to load (expecting to see the Finder, Dock, menu bar UI etc), nothing happens - the screen sits at the default desktop picture and the user's account never loads.
    Her AD password has not expired. She is a local admin on the laptop too.
    Other local user accounts can log into the laptop without problems.
    I have 100+ other identical users who dont have this problem.
    I assume that a user-specific file has been corrupted. Any guess on which ones?

    Due to the number of problems with "upgrading" to this OS level, I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader OS Reload:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using​...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • How to set password login window appear for 'Mac Mail' app?

    This is possible, when we remove the email password from my keychain using account preference. But some of our client wants login window password which is different from email password.
    Is this possible??

    no. but if you protect your iPhone with a password, I don't think you need a separate one just for your email.
