Big Problem...I deleted all fonts!!!!

I deleted all fonts in system/library/fonts
now i cant do any things!!!!
only the background plus time,date,battery,languageand Wlan on upper right shown
all other include the upper bar and dock disappeared!!!!
i have a copy of all fonts but how can i restore back the fonts without restore the system??????

There is no easy way to restore just the fonts that will result in a stable system. If you have a full backup (like a clone or Time Machine backup) made just before you messed up, restore it.
Otherwise, rerun the Snow Leopard installer from your Snow Leopard installer DVD & update the OS as required to return to the version you were using before your error.
In the future, remember that things in System/Library should never be tampered with unless you know exactly what the consequences will be. Even so, it is foolish to tamper with them without a good backup.

  • Deleted all fonts

    I accidentally deleted all the fonts in the system, now my mac is not working properly, the screen is flashing and I can't open or do anything.
    Help please

    Try booting to your Recovery partition (start up whilst holding down the Command and R keys). Make sure that you have a good Internet connection (wired Ethernet is best) and install Mountain Lion again (none of your data or apps will be affected). See if that won't reinstall, at least, the basic system fonts.

  • I have problem with deleting all cookies, and all cache.

    I use FF for web development, and frequently have to clear all cache, and cookies to see my developed changes. But with the recent update from FF3.16/17 to FF4, I have started to face a weird problem while clearing all cache, and cookies. One is, I have observed that the process takes more time compared to previous versions, and secondly, it gets stuck sometime showing a script error on a file called sanitize.js file.
    I have a grab to show, but not sure how can I show it you. but the alert says "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."
    Script: chrome//browser/content/sanitize.js:136
    Below are 2 buttons, Continue and Stop Script

    Firefox 4 also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash and starts a plugin-container process with the Flash player and possibly other plugins as well for each cookie, so that can add a lot of extra time if there are a lot of cookies to remove. Also make sure that all plugins are up to date.

  • JTable problem when deleting all rows and reinserting data,

    Hi,
    I have a JTable with an AbstractModelTable.
    Some cells in the JTable have a custom cell editor. I am using
    the cell editor that accepts only numeric values as explained in
    the JTable tutorial (WholeNumberField).
    - The JTable gets filled by choosing a value from a JList
    for example:
    1- choose a customer name from the customer JList
    2- gets the customer order (database)
    3- fills the Jtable with the customer data.
    - When a customer is chosen from the Jlist I call a function
    inside my table model. (This function removes all rows, clears the vector holding the data and calls fireTableRowsDeleted (firstRow, lastRow));
    - Then I fill up the new data for this customer.
    All of this works fine, except if I have entered a new value inside
    one of the cell that has a customed cellEditor (ex: the Ordered column).
    for example : user enters number 20 in the "ordered" column for customer A. Then changes his mind and chooses customer B from the JList. So the JTable gets cleared and refilled with the data of Customer B but the column "ordered" still has the value '20'
    I would really appreciate any help...
    Thanks

    Don't know is this will work, but try the following before updating the table:
    if (table.isEditing())
      table.removeEditor();Also, why do two TableModelEvent's..one for all getting deleted, one for the new filling. You could do one fireTableDataChanged after the new data is in.

  • Keyboard problems backspace delete all text

    you're going to settings>accessibility>magnify mode>off ?When i shut it off, the repeating backspace stops. I found that info on crackberry.com but nothing more.

    The backspace key upon a single touch pops up and locks in repeat mode and wipes out eh entire line of text.
    This happens in an email address line, the email body or anywhere that I am typing using the virtual keyboard in portrait orientation.
    If you're on Bell you should update to the latest version as this fixes the issue with magnification mode.

  • Mac OS 9: get AdobePS 8.6 to send all fonts to printer

    Not sure if this is the most appropriate forum to post this question in, but here it goes…
    I'm having a problem with the AdobePS 8.6 driver: when I try to print text containing accented and other special characters they are not rendered, instead I get blank spaces.
    I suspect this has something to do with the printer using its own ROM resident versions of the fonts rather than the one on the Mac. Apple's LaserWriter driver has an option to "always send all needed fonts" that does the trick, but this option is absent from AdobePS.
    I've already deleted all font entries from the printers PPD, but to no avail.
    How do I force AdobePS to sent the needed fonts to the printer?

    This is what PDF font subsets were designed to avoid. By giving fonts unique names in every document, the printer will not substitute it's own versions.
    However, it could be an encoding problem rather than a font substitution issue.
    Have you saved the PostScript to a file and opened it in a text editor? You can see whether the fonts are embedded by reading the file.
    Are you using OS 9 in Classic emulation, or in some really old hardware?
    Deleting the fonts from the PPD might be a little harsh.
    If Apple's Laserwriter driver works well for you,is there any reason that you don't want to use that?

    Ok ! I have figured out the problem largely because of your aid on this forum ! Thanks to all !
    The problem is the compatibility with the CPU's !!!

    I have a :  Pentium III  costa rica
                   850/256/100/1.7v

  • Very big problem: all titles deleted

    hey!
    i hope you can help me because i´ve got a really big problem (as my ipod is part of my life, haha)
    so..
    my ipod was nearly full when i added some more titles to my library. that was too much for my ipod nano (2 gb). it asked me whether i´d like to add just an selection (that itunes would automatically choose for me) to the ipod. i chose yes. itunes created a playing list (?) named "itunes auswahl" (itunes selection?) so far everything went well - all "old" titles plus some of the new ones were on my ipod. but that playing list blocked all my other ones (e.g. top 25, my favorites...) so i deleted the "ipod auswahl"-list. that was the big error, i guess. because after then, none of the titles (except 3 podcasts) existed on my ipod anymore (but in the library, phew!). what a shock. i tried to update my ipod, but it didn-t work - there´s always this message saying that the ipod can´t be updated because the playlist for that doesn´t exist anymore. then i keep on switching the options from "ausgewählte wiedergabelisten" (update only chosen playlists) to "alle titel und wiedergabelisten" (update everything). then i try to update it again, but then it says: "der ipod "ipod" kann nicht aktualisiert werden. dieser datenträger ist weder lesbar noch beschreibbar." (this ipod can´t be updated. this data medium is neither readably nor recordably.) so - what to do? i tried to put back the ipod, to install it new (i´ve got the newest version of itunes now), but nothing worked.
    please help me really quick. would be so nice.
    and please don´t look at my mistakes - i´m just a pupil from germany.
    thanks and with best wishes

    ipod nano   Windows XP  

    thanks.
    but it doesn´t work yet!! it´s the same problem. when i put the ipod in, in the music settings there´s the setting that it shall just sync the titles from selected playlists. but there isn´t any playlist ticked. so i tick the playlist "-ipod" which i created and try to sync it then. but then there´s always the message which says that the ipod isn´t recordably nor readably.
    i think the problem is that my pc can´t remember the music settings because everytime it´s switched to what it was in the beginning. and after changing that the ipod can´t be synced (?) well you know what i mean i guess
    sorry it´s really hard to explain but i hope you understand.
    thanks so much for helping me - i´m nearly despaired. :-s

    I do not recommend reformatting your harddrive and reloading your software.  This is a Windows thing. On an older mac it may be difficult to find all your software again.
    Best to have greater than 2gig of free space.  Many posters to these forums state that you need much more free space: 5 gig to 10 gig or 10 percent of you hd size.

    Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
    Go after large files that you have created & know what they are.  Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.

  • BIG problem! System's folder got deleted. Please help.

    Hi guys..
    I have a quite big problem here. I accidently delete my system's folder out of the macintosh HD. I was going to delete a folder right beside it but it appears that i delete the wrong one. I know, pretty stupid eh. Symptoms are: cannot login to the OS when the computers starts; flashing of "prohibitory sign" during the startup constantly for about a minute and booted up on windows (i have windows installed in my MBP).
    I've read so many different apple's articles about this. There is one about archive and install (can be found here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120 ). It told me to reInstall the OS. So i followed these steps and stopped when i can't select Preserve users and network settings. I assumed that "preserve users and network" is the option that will keep my files rite? The reason im doing this is because I dont want lose all my files inside. There are so many songs and important files inside and I can't think whats going to happen if I lose all that files.
    Any of you guys have suggestion or solution to this riddle? Help is greatly appreciated. Thx a for the attention.

    Archive and Install will save the old system in a Previous System Folder. It does not delete anything. However, it will not preserve anything that was in your deleted System folder because you deleted it.
    A question is how did you empty the Trash? The System folder cannot be deleted unless you authenticate which means you can't delete it 'accidentally.' It's possible the folder is still in the Trash. If that be the case simply open a Finder window on the Trash and drag the System folder back to it's proper location. Of course to do this you will have to be able to start up the computer. If you have a backup system on an external Firewire drive that would do just fine. If not, then you could try to get access to another Mac that supports Firewire. You can then connect the two via Firewire cable. Then boot your computer into Target Disk Mode, then boot the other computer normally. You computer's hard drive will appear on the other computer's Desktop. You can then gain access to the Trash to restore the System folder, assuming you haven't actually emptied the Trash.

  • Big problem - Lost all saves in many games

    Hi there, i have a big problem - few days ago, suddenly there was no sound in all games and apps - i tried to restart ipad, shut down, delete the game from background, restart again, sound was on, for a few hours it worked, then when i started other game, suddenly sound goes off again - no action pushing the side button to increase the sound, repaired somehow after few restarts... Thats not the biggest problem, i get used to it, but worse i lost saves in 2 games - when i started game- the game started from beginning, no profile, no saved progress, no purchases - i did nothing to that game, just normally started as many times ago,
    did not delete the game from ipad, just playing as usually, but now there are no game saved data... I dont understand, the same thing happened with another game- i installed a new game yesterday, played for a few hours, then started again - all progress deleted, game goes from the start - what the **** is it?
    Some kind of virus or what ? I did nothing unusual - it all started when the sound gone off multiple times, always turned on after few restarts, but after few days
    The saved data and progress in some games started to disappear after normally starting the game - i am very sad about this, because i played the game for a long time,had a big progress,lot of purchases for real money and now the profile is lost... Please help, i am really disappointed about this

    This is not a virus, or any other kind of malware. Unless you have jailbroken your iPad, there's nothing it could be infected with.
    Regarding the sound issue, since it affected multiple apps, it has to be a system issue. It could be hardware or it could be a software glitch. First thing to try is to restart the iPad, and if that doesn't work, reset it:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/ipad/#section_1
    If none of those work, you'll want to restore your iPad. (Instructions can be found from the link above.)
    As for the game saves, note that deleting an app also deletes its data. This is normal. If the games that you deleted and re-downloaded don't store your data in some kind of online account, it's gone. If you have been backing up your iPad, you should be able to recover it from those backups... If not, you have learned a hard lesson in the importance of backups.
