Font in Safari got changed, how do i change it back?

How do I revert to the original font in Safari. It somehow got changed 2 OS's ago and I don't know how to change it back. It's currently a very distracting font that is hard to read.

Apple decided to trash that preference in their now basically useless iOSified Safari 6 incarnation. Now, you have to revert to using the Terminal to restore eminently useful preference settings.
Ronald P. Regensburg wrote at MacInTouch:
This works in Safari 6. You may need to empty caches (enable Develop menu in Safari 6—another useless change to previous behavior) to see the result and remove the css setting (to "nothing selected"). Font names with spaces need to be between quotation marks.
Full example for proportional font:
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2StandardFontFamily 'Lucida Grande'
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2DefaultFontSize 14
Full example for fixed width font:
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2FixedFontFamily Monaco
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2DefaultFixedFontSize 11

Safari got erased how do i get it back

My daughter decided to somehow erase safari from my bottom bar
How do I get it back?

Safari, being one of the preinstalled apps, can't be erased.
Check your Restrictions. Or look for the Safari icon on other pages.

I just updated Firefox to 6.0, and suddenly certain parts of the text which used to be in English now display in Devanagari, the font used in Hindi. How do I get it back to English?

I have lost all of my changes -- How can I get them back?

I have made changes to many files in many folders. I have successfully moved several of those folders from my laptop to a USB external hard drive (as my laptop just cannot hold all photos).
This week, I purchased an installed a Network Attached Storage drive . . . and I copied all folders and photographs from my USB hard drive to the new networked drive. Then I disconnected my USB drive. Instead of then "locating" the "missing" folders (and re-mapping them one by one to the network drive), I "removed" the old folders from lightroom and re "imported" them from the new location on the network drive.
UNFORTUNATELY - none of my changes are there. How do I get these back?
Thank you for any help.

Use a backup of your catalog that you made before you did this. If you don't have one, the changes are gone.

With my upgrade to iOS 6 I lost all my Safari bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Safari bookmarks were lost with iOS 6 upgrade. How do I get them back?

I've lost mine multiple times since upgrading, its really frustrating. Why can't Apple do an OS upgrade without problems like this?

New keyboard, function keys have changed, how to get standard functions back?

Hi, I recently just bought a new keyboard with numerics and when i hook it up, all my function keys are different. F12 now shows me the date and time/calculator. F11 scoots my open boxes do the side.
how do i get it back to the standard functions? ie, F1-F2 controling brightness, F10,11 and 12 controling sound.

Is this a new Apple wired keyboard? Perhaps model MB110LL/B?

I upgraded to io7 on my iPad 2. I have either japanese or Chinese on my safari page. How can I change it to all English?

Upgraded to io7. My safari page has japanese or Chinese on it. How to change to all English?

Here's a thought experiment: If you had continued using your TalkTalk router through the update to iOS 6 you would be experiencing no problems. Then, when you replaced your TalkTalk router with the BT 2wire 2700 HGV, you would suddenly have problems. If this were the case where would the blame now be placed.
Sometimes it's not so easy to allocate blame.
From the symptoms you describe it sounds like something strange is happening in the 2wire router but time will tell.

The passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased, how can i get them back or reset them so when i open them they nolonger ask me por that info like gmail

Firefox deleted all of my saved usernames and passwords for the sites i allowed them, For instance I can no longer click gmail and be at my e-mail and see my email, but i am promoted for password and username.

''passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased''
Did you have them after updating Firefox, or did you lose your passwords as well. If you lost everything you either created a new profile and are in it, or you accidentally/intentionally cleared your history (see picture link). If you cleared your history, the changes are permanent and they are gone.
If you cleared your history, except for bookmarks in backups, you will have to try for
#Data in an older profile, for most people this would only be if one accidentally created a new profile, such as during a Firefox installation.
#Your own backups
#Old password, cookies from Internet Explorer
Use the "Alt" key to temporarily see your toolbars. Use the view menu to display any toolbars that should be displayed, such as the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Check these:
*Do you have bookmarks Ctrl+B (Bookmarks sidebar), if you don't see your own bookmarks but you see those from when you first installed Firefox, you are probably in a new profile, using the Profile Manager could bring up another profile.
*Check your current bookmarkbackups for dates
:On current profile, you can check dates, and restore/replace current bookmarks from a backup. "Ctrl+Shift+B" to bring up the Library List, then in the "Import and Backup" menu, choose Restore to see what dates are available. This will tell you the last 11 dates you used your current profile in Fx5 (5 days if Fx3). You can restore if your bookmarks are messed up.
Profile: ''Find out if there are multiple profiles''
:type in '''about:support''' into the location bar<br>:Click on "Open containing folder"<br>:You are now in your current profile<br>:go up one directory level to "'''Profiles'''", where you can see if you have more than one profile directory<br>:files of interest (check last used/update dates) within profile: places.sqlite file, and within bookmarkbackups folder are .json bookmark backups for dates.
'''Deleting History/Lost History''' (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing in "Settings for Clearing History" anything but cache. The items you have check-marked there will be cleared at end of session if "Clear history when Firefox closes" is check-marked. If under tools you click on "Clear recent history Ctrl+Shift+Del" you should be asked for how much history to delete {1hr, 2hr, 4hr, today, everything} and what to clear in the details drop-down. Make sure when using the location bar you are displaying both "History and Bookmarks" so the AwesomeBar can look for items from both.

'''You should be backing your for Firefox profiles''', there is not a lot of data and you should be backing up frequently. The is a lot more data for other applications in you Windows user library and you should be backing up data from there as well.
When you backup all of your user data to external hard-drive (500GB to 3TB) your Firefox profiles would be included.
But this is about Firefox. For Firefox a thumb drive would probably suffice to backup one or more profiles.
'''backing up your Firefox Profiles''' (the following is all on one line)
xcopy C:\Users\''<username>''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.* g:\profiles\*.* /s /d /h /y /c /q

IMovie text library only shows 1 font, previously it would access all the fonts on my MacBook Pro - how do I get them back into the iMovie library?

iMovie has lost contact with my font libraries. It only shows 1 font and I do not know how to re-connect it with the font libraries

Hello there ATCLTD,
I was think these troubleshooting steps will be the best for the issue you describe.
First I would perform a safeboot with this article named Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564.
To perform a Safe Boot, press and hold the Shift key immediately after your Mac starts up. Continue holding down the Shift key until a gray Apple logo appears on the screen.
And perhaps this article to troubleshoot duplicate fonts, which can cause all kinds of wonky activity.

Take care,

I did the 8.1.3 update and now I have no Safari shortcut? How do I get it back?

sSafari shortcut is not showing on my IPad since I did iOS 8.1.3 update. I can't find Safari in App Store or my settings to get it back on my screen. How can I get my Safari icon back?

If you can't find it on any of your home screens or via the spotlight search screen then check to see if it's hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being set 'off'
