Can't see words in browsers and Mail

Hi,
I started having issues with the way words (letters) are been displayed in Mac Mail or any of y browsers. Basically, they do not show (see attached). Notice how the text inside the buttons is not been displayed. Any idea how to fix this? I've searched online, and found nothing regarding this issue. This is happening on a MacMini running OSX 10.6.8.
Thank you for your time!
Rafa.

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Mac 101: Font Book
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you keep your data backed up?
    If not, you should always do so*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    You never know when a hard drive or a directory might go bad.  Having a bootable clone is a must.
    That link also shows you some tools you can use to recover data.
    If you aren't backed up, try buying those tools first, before attempting to repair the directory.

  • How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

    How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
    It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

    Jayhawk
    I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
    Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

  • Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000  contacts are not listed

    Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

    The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
    Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list.  It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it.  You need to add a few names.

  • I can only see the apple logo and spotlight on top menu, nothing else.

    Hello
    I am having problems with the contextual menus i believe.,
    I can only see the apple logo and spotlight on top menu of my desktop, nothing else., i have no idea what happened,
    i have not used my macbook for a while, several people in my place i created users for only surf the net, i logged in and noticed this now.
    Please advise

    Hi Logic Pro
    You probably have a corrupt preference file, specifically 'systemuiserver.plist'. But there are potentially two of them, so ...
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
    Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
    If this alone doesn't work, you may need to delete your caches, so repeat the above and then:
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Caches", delete everything. Again, you need to log out and back in.
    Let us know if this helps.

  • How can I see the hidden file and erase it?

    I had to make a file starting "." and had to put it on my FTP client. I made it by Text Edit and Microsoft word and save it. Since it is hidden file, I can't see on my Mac but when I use the FTP client and click post, the file listing was showed up and I can check as "Show Hidden file". Then I could post the files on the FTP client. However, since I don't need it on my computer, I'd like to erase it but can't find the files. How can I find the hidden files? Thank you.

    if you know the folder then navigate to that folder. Open the Terminal application in your Utiities folder and do the following::
    Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • I can't see words in a chat while using flashplayer

    While attempting to chat, I don't see words that are being
    typed by other users. I can see avatars and colors and all other
    schemes, however I can't see what they are typing to what they are
    reacting to.

    Maybe post the image you have so that we can see the extent of the problem.

  • I can't see the body of my mails, I just se the preview.

    I dont know why my mails do not show on the window at the right side of the display.
    I can only see on the left side, all the received mails and the 3 lines of the preview, but on the right side only shows From, To and the subject
    Anibody has any idea what can I do?
    Thanks

    Quit the mail app, launch the app again and then look to see if the messages appear, if not - quit the mail app and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps.
    Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, reset your iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Browsers and Mail keep loosing connection and reconnecting randomly.

    Connected to a wifi network that has always worked fine.
    Only change is Yosimite upgrade.
    Browsers intermittently report no network connection, then make connection seemingly randomly.
    Mail keeps taking accounts off line in spite of always being connected.
    I do have 16 gigs of ram.
    Does anyone know what has happened and how to fix?

    The only change has been switching to Yosimite.
    The wireless diagnostic says "Basic failure..." contact apple support.
    Other devices and computers are connected to same wifi without a problem.
    The wifi network is not the issue, something has changed in how the OS is connecting.
    The browsers, (Safari and Firefox) will loose connection and say not connected to internet from onwe moment to the next.
    A page can be refreshed then a new will report that I am not connected to internet, then after a few attempts to try again, it works.
    Mail also seems to loose connection and asking if I want to connect.
    The wireless and mail and all browsers have worked with out a problem for years.

  • Can't see time machine drive and can't boot

    Last week the internal hd on my Mac mini (mid-2010) began failing. I took it in and AppleCare replaced the drive. The genius told me they loaded 10.7.3 and I should be able to use Time Machine (TM) to bring it all back. So I go home, plug in my TM drive and the Mac can't see the drive the TM is on. And yet I know it recognizes the drive because if I turned it off it would give me the nasty warning about disconnecting before unmounting. So not knowing what to do I went and popped in the installation disc that came with my Mac mini (10.6), and booted with the cd. I told it to restore from TM, and this time it sees my drive and transfers the data. When it restarts I get the gray screen with a null (not permitted) sign. So I can't make heads or tails of it an decide that maybe I have to make a clean install and then upgrade to 10.7.4 and then try time machine (I'm grasping at straws now). Only when I attempt to to restart after installing 10.6 it go from a gray screen to a blue screen (of death) and just sits. I'm baffled and don't know what to do. Could my time machine disk, which was backing up a failing internal HD, have been bad?  What do I do?

    Hello:
    If I were you (and I am not), I would bundle up the repaired computer and your Time Machine drive and take it in and ask the Apple person to bring it back to life.  IMHO, that should have been done the first time.

  • Can't see the podcast picture and episodes on iTunes

    Hi,
    My podcast feed was added to iTunes store about a week ago. It was working well for a couple of days, and now, I can't see my episodes and my podcast picture on iTunes catalogue.
    I was wondering what might be the problem?
    Here's the XML file created by Feedburner:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/AltSokakPodcast
    Here's the iTunes page of my podcast:
    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=354093921
    Thank you.

    If you search on the title of your podcast your episodes show up in the search page (though the image doesn't) but not when you click on the image and go to the actual Store page, which is empty. Subscribing shows the episodes and the feed seems OK, so this is yet another Store glitch - there have been some odd goings-on recently. It may sort itself out eventually: I don't see there is anything you can do unless you want to try Support (who may not be much help).
    iTunes support, for problems with podcasts, is at
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.
