Corrupt fonts? PLEASE HELP CAN'T USE PROGRAMS!!

When i boot up my computer and try to open my Mail, it won't open. It stalls and i have to force quit. This happens also with Safari, system preferences etc. But i can get into photoshop and some other non-system programs. i have logged out and gone into another profile and everything works fine. Sometimes when i log back into my profile, everything works fine but other times i have to restart cuz it won't log in, it freezes. then i have to restart and try this all over again. I have loaded quite a few fonts on my profile and i believe that some of the fonts, potentially system fonts, have been corrupted and that;s affecting the programs. My question is; Is there a way to fix this problem without having to reinstall os x?

Hi Jason,
First see if it's just corrupt font cache files. Download and run Font Finagler. If that doesn't do it and you're using Font Book, try this. Follow the steps in Undoing Font Book. Note that you will lose any font collections you have created. Doing this will also clear the system's font cache files.
If after that you're still having trouble, then the fonts are the likely problem. To replace all fonts OS X came with without having to install the entire OS, follow the instructions at the bottom of my article, Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther.
If after that the problems persist, then one or more of the third party fonts you've added are bad.

  • Please help - Can not use stored procedure with CTE and temp table in OLEDB source

    Hi,
       I am going to create a simple package. It has OLEDB source , a Derived transformation and a OLEDB Target database.
    Now, for the OLEDB Source, I have a stored procedure with CTE and there are many temp tables inside it. When I give like EXEC <Procedure name> then I am getting the error like ''The metadata  could not be determined because statement with CTE.......uses
    temp table. 
    Please help me how to resolve this ?

    you write to the temp tables that get created at the time the procedure runs I guess
    Instead do it a staged approach, run Execute SQL to populate them, then pull the data using the source.
    You must set retainsameconnection to TRUE to be able to use the temp tables

    Can someone please respond to my request for support?  I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783  but it did not work.

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd

    I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd and if confirmation is must so please phone number is mine please send a code please help me my apple

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    Yeah, Siri - a headline feature on the iPhone 4s page - is beta at the mo.
    But then anyone who's used Macs for a few years will know that most new software is pretty much still in beta when it's released anyway. Only Apple could get away with it and retain customers

    We regularly use Cocktail by Maintain software. You run the whole gamut of options but the important one is in System - Databases - Rebuild launch services. Also in Files - Caches - then clear the lot.
    This is just houskeeping really but there are so many 'links' in A/cad it needs 'cleaning'

    After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
    If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
    If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
    Good luck

  • Please help me to use javamail to send mail in servlet program

    hi
    i want to send simple mail from user [email protected] to user [email protected] using servlet program
    i can't compile the javamail demo program servlet "JavaMailServlet.java".
    i have this exception
    Note: SendMailServlet.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
    Note: Recompile with -deprecation for details.
    i don't no how to do
    please help me if you have code
    thank's

    Given that you're having problems with your [url http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=43&thread=536278&tstart=0&trange=30]demo mail code as well as your demo servlet code, perhaps you would be better served by learning about JavaMail, servlets, and perhaps Java in general (for example - the meaning of deprecated). Then you may be able to build your own servlet for handling mail or at least will be able to revise the demo code found elsewhere.
    Of course, if the purpose is really not to learn how to use Java, JavaMail, servlets, etc. but to simply create something that works then you could always hire someone to write the program for you.
    This is not intended to be rude or anything - just an observation and some food for thought.

  • Please help me understand this program's limit of use?

    If I have an adobe connect account, is a form on a formscentral url able to be edited in adobe connect? If the program designed to facilitate online conferences doesn't interface with a conferecne registration template program ran by the same company, market under the same brand as adobe, how can people on opposite sides of firewalls limited by software going to edit products; and use this? Administrators control new program downloads of all new programs, which means no forms central for my partner, even though adobe connect is available there, so how do we share adobe to adobe to make this service all most as cool as printkey?
    Seriously an adobe product fan (today is testing my confidence in adobe),
    Tiffani the girl with a form she can't use and a deadline that's too close to start over!

    Thanks for the reply..I guess I was topo vague is asking the previous question.
    For the same program.The program is using direct input method to update the routing of the material i.e CA02. I want to know will it work for inspection as well i.e QP02.If it can work what modification will i have to make here in this funtion module.
    If this does not work, is there any direct input method to do the inspection plan for materials.
    The name of the function module is CP_BD_DIRECT_INPUT_PLAN_EXT.
