How do I re-set Font Book to factory settings?

Hi everybody, hopefully you can help me...
Just received my Refurbished iMac 21.5-Inch 2,7GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. Have loaded all my software, no problem. However, I stupidly and what on earth possessed me to do it I'll never know...dragged 11,000 fonts from an external back-up disk directly into font book late last night. It was verifying all the fonts and flagged up any potential corrupt fonts, I now don't seem to be able to even open Font book without it trying to locate all 11,000 fonts. Is there a way of deleting all of these fonts and doing it properly or re-setting Font book to it's original state. I can't access the preferences on startup as Font Book seems to want to find all the fonts first and i just get a whirly wheel in the bottom right hand corner...I've also tried to locate the fonts in 'library' etc but  they don't seem to be there which makes me wonder of Font Book is stuck in some kind of limbo...this is a monumental FAIL on my part I have to say.
Any Ideas???
Many Thanks
Dave

User fonts, those not require by the OS, are in two locations;
Mac HD/Library/Fonts
~/Library/Fonts
I would see if the 11M+ fonts are in ~/Library/Fonts first. If so drag them to the Trash and restart.

  • How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?

    How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?
    I have a number of fonts (approx. 500) on my work laptop which are sorted to different Collections. I'd like to have a copy of the Font Book library with Collections on the laptop I use at home to work. I'd think there was a more straight forward way to do it, but I haven't found any posts regarding the matter so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    To anyone who is reading this based on needing to copy their Font Book to another machine as I do, there is a way to make a copy of the fonts in Font Book by going to file/export fonts. Keep in mind that you will need to have all the fonts selected (command A) in your "All Fonts" list for them to be exported. You will then have a new folder saved to where ever you chose, with all your Font Book fonts in it.

    How to multiple/ parallel sets of books to generate more than one financial statement based on different (or the same) accounting principles.
    My Client needs Parallel Ledger in SAP B1 similar like SAP ECC. Is this functionality available ?

    Dear Mr. Nagrajan,
    Thank you for your response. I have already gone through documents but not able to understand. Is there any setup for this ? or its just work around i.e. using template and special field in JV i.e. Ref. 1 /2
    My doubts :
    I understand that Chart of Account structure is one and common for IFRS and other accounting method. We need to create only those account separately ( 2 times with prefix like IFRS revenue account, GAAP Revenue account).
    Now at time of entry, Assume some entries / adjustment are specifically for IFRS and not for other ledger. In this case, What need to do ?
    You have mentioned about DTW approach but do we need to insert all JV's again with other ledger ?
    Someone suggested that if any entry which are specific to IFRS Ledger, We need to user Ref.1 /2 column or Transcation code column and in which we can put IFRS
    Based on this, Need to create 2 seperate template for IFRS and other ledger for all report.
    This is my understanding of Solution in SAP B1. Please help me to clarify my though process
    Please do needful.If you have done implemenation and if you can share doucment, it would be great help.

  • How do i restore my wifi setting back to the factory settings? I have changed it somehow :/ and now my wifi will not connect. My Airport is on and showing full strength but will not connect.

    How do i restore my wifi setting back to the factory settings? I have changed it somehow :/ and now my wifi will not connect. My Airport is on and showing full strength but will not connect.

    Ok, if other devices are connecting but just not your MacBook then let's start troubleshooting the MacBook to possibly find out why.
    Please try each of the following, in order, until hopefully resolved:
    Note the following are excerpts from an OS X Daily article.
    * Turn Airport on & off – You can do this via the Airport menu bar or from the Network Preferences. This is the first thing you should try when troubleshooting Mac wireless problems.
    * Make sure Wireless/Airport card software & firmware is up to date – This is usually done just by going to the Software Update menu, if there are any updates available for your Mac or Airport, install them.
    * Delete and recreate connection – Try deleting and recreating/reestablishing the wireless connection, sometimes a setting can be corrupted and this may fix it.
    * Create a new Network Location – Similar to the above suggestion, try creating a new and different wireless network location to see if it resolves the connection problems.
    * Change DHCP auto settings to manual – sometimes there is a problem with the DHCP server, and if you manually set an IP address on the network you can be fine. Remember to set the IP to a high number so it wouldn’t interfere with other DHCP machines. As long as you have the subnet mask, router, and DNS settings configured manually as well, this shouldn’t be a problem.
    * Flush the DNS cache – Launch the Terminal and enter the following command onto one full line within the Terminal: dscacheutil -flushcache
    * Zap the PRAM – Reboot your Mac and hold Command+Option+P+R during restart until you hear another chime, let the Mac boot as usual.
    * Delete Wireless Config files – Delete com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist and com.apple.internetconfig.plist files from ~/Library/Preferences and reboot
    * Trash your home directories SystemConfiguration – Remove all files within ~/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and then reboot your Mac.
    * Reset your Mac’s System Management Controller (SMC) – For MacBook and MacBook Pro’s: Shutdown the MacBook/Pro, remove the battery, disconnect the power, hold the Power Key for 15 seconds. Replace the battery, reconnect power, and zap the PRAM and wait for 2 chimes before letting the keys go. Let boot as usual.

    Once you get it going you need to make sure you do the following so that you can sell the phone.
    Turn off imessage in settings/messages
    Turn off Facetime in settings/Facetime
    Delete icloud account in settings/ilcoud

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

        Oh goodness,SLEEPER888. We wish you didn't have this problem while trying to complete this update.You have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your own. If the phone update does not take, we would need to replace it with the warranty. Is it still locked up?

    No. It either updates in place or backs up then restores all your content.
