Fonts Missing in Mail after upgrading to Leopard

After upgrading to Leopard, the fonts are missing in the font window in Mail program. I can compose only using what looks like helvetica. This is true only with this program. Any suggestions? Thanks

After an elimination process, it appeared that there was a conflict of some sort on one of the accounts I had and unfortunately, that was the one with the most messages. Its a pain but my only work around it was to start all over again with Mail. If it helps yo, this is what I did: a) backed up my Mail : user/library/mail and backed up the preference file : user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
b) removed the Mail preference : user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
c) restarted Mail and created the accounts all over again via the setup helper
d) imported the mail boxes from where I saved them including those in the 'pop' folder
Now I have they old messages available in a folder I renamed 'archived' that is in the "ON MY MAC" section of the side bar.
IT IS TEDIOUS AND I AM PRETTY SURE THERE IS A MORE ACCURATE SOLUTION OUT THERE TO THIS PROBLEM.

Having Font Issues In Safari After Upgrading To Leopard

So...i'm having some font issues in Safari after upgrading to Leopard....
It works fine on my desktop but not on my laptop. They both run on Leopard.
Also, it works in Firefox but not Safari.
Here's some screens of what it looks like. This only pertains to any site that uses this font and it isn't uncommon, (sites like google, yahoo, and the WoW Forums)

zoom in to see what i'm talking about, it's really messed up on the full screen

Anyways...any idea on how I can fix this?

I disabled the stencil font and deleted it. No luck here.
I ran a font validation check and this is what showed up, don't know if this means anything.

Lost mail after upgrade to Leopard OS X 10.5.1

I upgraded to Leopard 10.5.1 from Panther 10.3.x. Everything opened as before except all the mail in all my folders between March 2006 and the date of the upgrade. Bookmarks, applications, address books, files, settings, desktop, etc. Absolutely everything is exactly as before, but all my saved mail is gone.
Apple support (phone) wasn't much help, except to tell me that I should have done an "Archive Install". It would have been nice to know that ahead of time...there's nothing in the booklet that came with the software to suggest that, or warn you to do that. All it tells you to do is load the disc and click "Install". I'm not a techie, but a 60 year old barely computer literate soul who's very frustrated.
Given that all the mail before 2006 is still there, I have a feeling that the missing stuff is lurking somewhere. Apple suggested looking in Library>Mail>Messages, but it wasn't there.
Any help out there? Thanks.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
This is a problem of incomplete and flawed conversion of mailboxes that changed in structure after 10.3.x. Most people encountered the problem converting from 10.3 to 10.4, but converting from 10.3 to 10.5 has all the same issues. Typically the data is not really lost, but considerable work must be sometimes be done to recover full functionality. Read the discussions at the following links, that while written for conversion to 10.4 and Mail 2.x, and nearly the same for your path:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=413196
and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2685531&#2685531
The primary thing is to look for mbox files of size within xxxx.mbox folders, and not lose them before checking for what has successfully been converted into Messages folders within xxxx.mbox folders.

Cannot open mail after upgrading to leopard

I cannot open mail after I upgraded to leopard. I keep getting this message that "mail has unexpectadly quit. I have sent reports to apple. Does anyone have any suggestions?

5.1.4 will solve the compatibility issue, however, it is no longer available from Apple -you would have to find a copy on Ebay or similar. The current version is FCP 6 -part of Final Cut Studio 2.
Going back to Tiger will also solve it and will not cost anything, apart from the time spent reinstalling.
Unless there is some feature in Mac OS X 10.5 that you really need, this would be the easiest way to get FCP running again.

Missing user account after upgrading to leopard

I upgraded to leopard last night from tiger. I now notice that my girlfriend's account is missing when I am at the select user screen.
I can see that there is a directory with her name on it under users. Also I noticed that there is now a group created with her name which all other accounts are now members of.
Can I just copy the contents of her folder, make a new account and then just replace it back?
There are a lot of photos in her account so I want to proceed with great caution.
I will definitely be investigating some backup options after this experience.

Yes, you can copy the contents of her folder (i.e. Documents, Music, Pictures... not sure what you mean by "replace it back"?

Missing Firewire PAL after upgrading to Leopard

Hi!
I have alot of problems with my Leopard upgrade. And I wonder why Apple couldn't warn me in the installation CD that for example Photoshop 7.0 does not work in Leopard at all. Grrr!
Well to the question...
After installing Leopard my FCP 6.0.4 started to have problems. (I installed it without erasing the harddisks) I was trying to edit to tape a sequence from my timeline and I managed to get into the edit to tape window once. Then suddenly FCP didn't recognize my Sony HVR-M15E device anymore. In the device settings the Apple Firewire had gone missing. I see in the system profiler that the computer is recognizing the device. So do I have to reinstall the whole Final Cut package? Or is there some settings that I've missed? In Tiger the device worked fine with my FCP. I've tried rebooting all systems and opening FCP with the device turned on. Older discussions didn't make any sense to my so I have to ask separately. My quicktime is version 7.5.5 is that has anything to do with it...

Ok I worked out the problem...I guess the iLink converter in the device has to be turned on all the time for the firewire to work allthough the material in the sequence is in dv PAL...wierd but not the FCP can find the device. Thanx anyway!

Can't send e-mail after upgrading to Leopard

I recently upgraded my OSX from Tiger to Leopard. When I log into my Mail account, everything appears to be working fine; I can receive mail, compose messages, etc. But the "Send" button is grayed out. I don't get any prompts asking for permission to send -- it's simply not an available option. Is this fixable, or do I need to re-install?

From the Mail menu, select "Preferences". Hit the Accounts tab. Select the Account. Under Account Information, reapply the user name and password.
Check with the provider if the account needs authentication. This is in the Advanced tab. Usually just a repeat of user name and password.

How can I access old Entourage emails to import them into Mac Mail after upgrading to OS Lion?il

How can I access old Entourage emails to import them into Mac Mail after upgrading to OS Lion? I don't really want to go back to Snow Leopard in order to access the old Microsoft Applications, but they simply aren't supported in Lion.

In Mail you can select Import Mailboxes... from the File menu. There is an import from Entourage feature.

Can't use Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard

I use Airport Express for wireless printing and AirTunes via powered speakers/hifi. It was working very reliably until I upgraded to Leopard. Now, I am unable to use Airport Express. I get the blinking orange light, but when I scan with Airport Utility, Airport Express is not detected. Manual setup is grayed out, so I can't set it up at all. I am using Airport Utility Version 5.2.2 (522.3), and there does not seem to be any updates or patches to apply at the moment. I have tried on my iMac G5 and MacBook, with the same result on both computers.
I am also reading that many others are having problems with Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard, perhaps not with my specific hardware configuration, but this is very disappointing.
I am open to suggestions to try a few things to get it working, so any help is appreciated.

IPhone won't sync after upgrading to Leopard

My iPhone won't sync, or even show up in iTunes, after upgrading to Leopard. I've tried restarting my Macbook Pro, trying different USB slots, closing and reopening iTunes, everything. Has anyone else had this problem??
I've tried everything apple suggests:
1. The iPhone battery might need to be recharged. For information about charging iPhone, see "Charging the Battery" in the iPhone User's Guide.
2. If that doesn't work, disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPhone to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
3. If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
4. If that doesn't work, restart your computer and reconnect iPhone to your computer.
5. If that doesn't work, download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.

You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Follow the link below for info on how to do this.

Motion screen is completely black after upgrading to Leopard

Hi,
I have opened IDVD for the first time after upgrading to Leopard and it does not work correctly anymore.
The motion screen is in black and does not show anything (while you can hear the sound of the theme selected)
This happens with already created projects and new projects
All since upgraded to Leopard
It is possible to see a movie in an already created project, if you are able to go through the menuscreens and select the movie without actually seeing anything. Than the movie is shown correctly.
I work with the latest version of Leopard and IDVD, all on a macbook
Hope you can help !!
Thanks a lot

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.

I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

Final Cut Studio license invalid after upgrading to Leopard?

Hello,
After upgrading to Leopard 10.5.1, Final Cut Studio v5.1.4 and its companion apps like DVD Studio 4 do not recognize my FC Studio License as valid. I input the license key and it says:
"Licensing Error
This application cannot continue because the licensing data is corrupt."
I am a licensed user via the FC Studio Crossgrade since 2006 and all has been fine with Tiger before Leopard.
I have used Disk Utility to "repair permissions". I have removed the FC files from the Preferences folder to give it a clean start.
PERHAPS A HINT?:
So I tried to re-install FC Studio 5.1 from the FC Install DVD and I get this message after inputting the key:
"Alert
Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
I have Administrator privileges on this account and I even tried to install it as 'root' and the same error occurs.
Is there a file that I need to change permissions on?
THANKS for any help here! And happy holidays.
Bonafide

Hi,
Unfortunately there is also an issue with installing FCS2 on a brand new installation with Leopard and this licensing error.
"Alert Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
This also occurs, apparently, that if you are logged in with an Active Directory user with Admin privileges it still will not let you install the product keys.
This is much the same as a problem with Adobe CS3 products, only the updates work when you are logged in with a local admin - not an Active Directory Admin.
Both these problems are really really annoying for those on corporate networks - such as myself.
For my problem, I had to log out as my AD account, login as a local admin and then install the software. .

After upgrading to Leopard: Leopard crashes because of "SFWordProcessing"

Hi!
Sorry for this double posting, but actually "rachelynne" posted here problem in the iWeb-Forum.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1221556&tstart=0
So, this is my problem: If I type any letters into a pages document, i might suddenly crash with the same "SFWordProcessing"-Problem like rachelynne already described. This first occured after upgrading to Leopard.
Maybe you need the crash report?
I am not able to continue working with Pages. Please, help me, Apple =)
Fadi

I GOT IT!!!! after many frustrating hours, i have figured it out. at least the problem i think you have, and that i had. when you plug in your iphone, and iphoto auto-launches, go to the prefrences in iphoto, and at the bottom of the "general" tab, the "connecting camera opens..." drop down needs to be set to "NO APPLICAION" or whatever. in other words, you want iphoto to do nothing when a camera is plugged in. then unplug iphone, and plug back in. you still may need to launch itunes manually, but it will be there.

Keyboard issues after upgrading to Leopard

Seems there's been quite a bit of discussion about this topic already but it's been confined to laptops and I haven't seen a solution yet. I'm seeing the same problems on a desktop computer using either a wireless or USB keyboard.
After upgrading to Leopard, my keyboard would occasionally stop responding to keystrokes. I have seen this happen on both an Apple USB keyboard and my Logitech wireless keyboard. With either keyboard, the letter and number keys would stop responding but keys like the CapsLock and Delete keys would still work. I have seen this happen when using Mac Office 2004 (Excel and Word) and Safari. With Excel, when the keyboard stops responding, if I click on a different cell, the keyboard comes back. I did update to 10.5.2 and I do have the latest version of the Logitech software but the problems still persist.
Strangely, I have only seen this happen on my MacPro but NOT my MacBook. There is a difference on how each machine was upgraded to Leopard though. On my MacBook, I did a clean install of Leopard on a new hard drive and then migrated my docs and apps from the old drive. On my Mac Pro, I did an upgrade installation over Tiger. Fortunately, I cloned my hard drive prior to installing Leopard so going back is an option and so is doing a clean install followed by a migration which is what I did on my MacBook.
Is there a fix for the keyboard problems? Am I going to have to downgrade back to Tiger?

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was alone in the universe. I have the problem with my mini, which came with Leopard installed. The USB keyboard will stop working in Word or Entourage ('04) and I have to close and reopen the document to get the keyboard going again. Thankfully, my mouse still works when this happens, so I can use it to close and save.
It seems to sometimes be triggered when I switch between applications, but I haven't been able to replicate it consistently. It is particularly bad when using find in Word. The find window will go dead and I have to close it and reopen it to do another search. (Though interestingly, I don't have to close the Word doc.)
It's irritating.
