Helvetica font has become "invisible" to Pages
Today I realised that Helvetica font has become "invisible" to iWork applications! I open Pages and Helvetica is not listed in the font list. I press Command+T and it's not there. In TextEdit it is, but in Pages it's not. In Font Book it's active, checked font, it's OK. Other fonts from the System/Library/Fonts folder are listed, only Helvetica is missing. WHY?
When I copy Helvetica font from the System/Library/Fonts to Library/Fonts folder and use this duplicated font, I see it in Pages. And I cannot even disable original Helvetica font in the System/Library/Fonts folder in Font Book, even if I try. Font Book displays warning and then doesn't disable even if there is the same font in the System/Library/Fonts folder.
I sent bug report to Apple but maybe someone can give me some clue how to solve this problem without font duplication?
After installing Combo update problem is solved!
What do you mean by GFC? Grace Fellowship Church, Georgia Forestry Commission or Geelong Football Club? (Those are Google suggestions for GFC)
OK, if you mean Global Financial Crisis (it's my guess) then we are still going down, and nothing suggests that anything will change soon. Maybe after one year we may see some improvement. People are very pessimistic, many leave the country as they don't see any future here. Government has led the country to absolute ruin, and it's getting worse and worse as they add new taxes and increase existing ones. VAT was increased from 18% to 21%, and thus all products became about 5-10% more expensive. Only bus tickets have become 10% cheaper. Medicine got more expensive. Recently they added "in average 30%" to the road taxes, which in reality is 100-200% increase. No one has explained what formula they used to get "30%". In the last half a year in rural regions income has fallen almost by half... Estonia and Lithuania aren't hit by GFC so much as Latvia, Estonians are already recovering and soon will be back where they were one year ago. I think this crisis will reflect in Apple product sales in Baltics very soon.

Visible folder has become "invisible"
Visible folder has become "invisible":
I thought I'd lost a folder but when I was doing a search for a possible copy of one of it's content files, I found the contents along with the "trail" for that file's location. Within the chain of files, there was my missing folder.
I don't know how I made the folder invisible BUT how do I get that folder back into my real-world?
titanium & Powerbook-Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1024MB memory & 2meg on ProHi Charles,
the "/" means that the original folder is directly in
the root directory. Open File Buddy, select "New List
Window" from the menu "List", then click "Add" and
add your hard disk. Now double-click it once which
should show the root directory with folders such as
"Library", "System", "Users" and so forth. One of
these folders should be the invisible folder you are
looking for (given that you selected to show
invisible items in the Preferences of File Buddy).
Gulliver,
Did as directed. File did not show-up when I did the double-click. It DID show up when I did a single click to create the sub-listing. However, trying to make it visible in the "information" window gave NO changed results. Finding the folder was not a problem, making it visible "outside" the disc program is my goal. That and figuring out how it became invisible in the first place. As far as I can determine, NO symbol (.) or (/) appears in front of the folders name. -

How can I reduce the font. Can't slide?
You probably have figured this out already - but just in case -
Take 3 fingers and, all at the same time, double tap the screen. This will reset the size back to normal. I had the same problem a few weeks ago, Good Luck, Ron -
Hi
When I start Keynote '08 the main window is not visible and nowhere to be found. I can show the inspector, and if I choose the 'build' or 'slide' panels I can see the slides there, I can use the Keynote menus and even go slide to slide in the inspector - but the actual keynote window is nowhere to be seen. If I choose minimize from the menu, the minimized keynote doc appears in the dock as it should - if I restore it, though, the main window does not appear. I can even insert shapes from the menu, I just cant see anything! I have trashed the .plist file, made no difference. Was working beautifully last week. I repaired permissions yesterday - could that have done it?
Hope you can help! (The other iWork Apps are fine.)Well for the record, in case this ever happens to anyone else ... on a flash of inspiration, I enabled spaces (it is not enabled on my computer) then explored the 4 spaces and found the Keynote window in a different desktop! Go figure ....

Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7.
I posted on here about this a few weeks back and someone suggested force-closing Pages -- and that does indeed enable me to open things -- but I have had to force-close many times in the last 24 hours, which is worrying. Are there any other suggestions?
I am sometimes also finding that, when I have been writing something and then click on "documents" the screen goes blank, there is a wait of around a minute and then the same document is re-displayed, before clicking "documents" again lets me look at other documents -- which is a pain if I am trying to move between documents repeatedly. Again, words of wisdom on this would be great.
Pages under iOS6 opened quickly, and there was an immediate loss of performance when I upgraded. I am finding this very frustrating because I don't feel that the new Pages has added to the facilities I was using, but a slowness to open documents is frustrating.
Thanks

Safari Font has changed on some web pages
The font on my Safari application has changed for some sites including YouTube and Yahoo. Most other sites are unaffected, including Apple's site. The font is hard to read and I cannot figure out how to get it to go back to it's "factory setting" so to speak.
I've tried going to Safari on the status bar. Then to Preferences>Appearance and changed both standard font and fixed-width font to Times at size 16. This has not solved my problem. Default encoding is "Western (Mac OS Roman)
I don't know if it is related, but I recently installed a large pack of fonts to use in Photoshop. The problem started somewhat after that.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!Phil --
Without a uploaded photo of the garbled font,
I would suggest looking for Helvetica Fractions if
the garbled font has some numbers in it.
You may have duplicates of Helvetica, or Helvetica Neue
or Arial. The font you're talking about seems to be a sans serif,
so I would start carefully look at Helvetica and Arial (all subsets, too)
in Font Book. -
Safari has become unusable—it freezes, links are unclickable, then I get "Web pages are not responding..."
Safari has been my favorite browser for a long time. Nothing against the others but I have found it faster and better. Now I can really no longer use it. This has been going on and getting worse for atr least few weeks. Anyone know why?From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
If any extensions are installed, disable them and test. -
My word, pages and email has become unstable any suggestions?
My word, pages and email has become unstable any suggestions?
This happens during the creation of email or word/pages documents.Try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). -
In my gmail, my font has suddenly become bigger, how can I bring it original size
In my gmail, I inadvertently clicked somewhere , now the font size has become bigger on all mail. How can I bring it down to its original size?
If you read [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] it will describe how to update. This is important and it fixes many critical security issues and bugs.

Why has my phone book just become invisible in my bmw 5
why has my phone book just become invisible in my bmw 5
Well--let me see if I can explain myself better. If I take my HD footage from the browser to the viewer
it looks fine. The persons head is in full frame. At fit to window it sits @33 %. I then drag it into the timeline and at 25% i have this teeni frame that is now in the Canvas with only the part of the head showing and the parameters looking more like something for DV footage and not widescreen. The fit to window reads 83%.
Again--this is only happening with the one clip even though it has the same specs as the others.
Still miffed as to why this is happening and if this is what I'm stuck with. -

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?
In fact, I am runing some plug-ins: ClickToPlugin (Flash blocker), Collusion and Disconnect.
There is quite a history of new versions of Safari breaking third-party plug-ins/extensions becasue the plug developer did not have an updated version available by the time the new Safari version dropped. What you report--worked fne before but won't now--is exactly what history says happens in such a case.
First, turn off all third-party stuff and see if Safari smooths out. Alternatively, create a new user account and, from there, test Safari in its native state with nothing added. That is a good diagnostic to see if the issue is a plug or extension.
If either of those helps, check for updates to the add-ons. If the developer is slow in reacting to the updated Safari version, (not unheard of), stop using that extension until an update is available. -
Regular Helvetica font becomes compressed in some Leopard applications
Since installing Leopard, I've noticed that several instances of the Helvetica font become horizontally compressed. It's merely an annoyance when viewed online, but when trying to enter text into a field, such as in Yahoo! Messenger v.3.0b2, it's impossible to know where to place the insertion point, since it doesn't correspond to the actual character outlines.
One place it's 100% reproducible is when using Safari 3 to view the date and headlines on MacFixIt:
http://www.macfixit.com/
It's clearly a bug, because it looks as intended in every other browser, including Firefox for Mac OS X.
Does anyone have a fix?Tom Gewecke wrote:
Actually I meant on your machine already.
I did have several duplicates -- mostly older versions of the Microsoft-installed fonts that Apple now seems to include with the OS. I got rid of the older verisons that had been in my user fonts folder, thinking that maybe Arial was the culprit. No dice: even after a restart, with no dupes in Font Book, the problem is as before.
For comparison, here are how I see MacFixIt's homepage in Safari 3:
http://ewestby.com/safari-narrow-fonts.gif
and in Firefox:
http://ewestby.com/firefox-normal-fonts.gif
This is after checking for and removing duplicate fonts. And again, I'm not merely quibbling: I can live with the odd display. The real problem is that in several apps, text entry gets messed up because the insertion point doesn't appear where it's supposed to, since the OS is somehow not keeping track of the proper character widths. -

2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
