I messed up my Safari font. Any way to reset?

So I was trying to play with my fonts on Safari, after realising that the Appearance panel had disappeared.
Searching online, I found this script to edit the font:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $(ps -ax | grep -i safari | grep -v grep | wc -l) -ge 1 ]] ; then osascript -e "tell application \"Safari\" to quit";  fi
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2StandardFontFamily '%filltext:name=font-face:default=Lucida Grande%'
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2DefaultFontSize %filltext:name=default-font-size:default=14%
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2FixedFontFamily '%filltext:name=fixed-font-face:default=Consolas%'
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2DefaultFixedFontSize %filltext:name=fixed-font-size:default=11%
osascript -e "tell application \"Safari\" to activate"
Entering it on Terminal caused Safari to quit, and when I restarted it, the script had worked, but the font was way to small.
I have tried resetting Safari but it hasn't worked.
I highly prefer Safari over Chrome and want to use it again, but the fonts are now too small. Please help

you can remove most all changes to Safari's default preferences by trashing this file :
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
you should be able to triple-click the line above to select it, then ctrl-click & choose Services - Reveal
a Finder window should open with the file selected. Quit Safari, trash the file. This will reset any changes you made in Safari preferences & also those for some extensions.
Safari - Preferences - Advanced has a setting for 'never use font sizes smaller than...' which may help. The size can be selected & entered manually for 15/16 which aren't in the drop-down

    No, Apple can't help.  Just connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode.  For that mode see:

    I had just updated my Mac to 10.6.1. When it finished, I had tried to open up Itunes but it says it requires 10.6.8 or later. When i had tried to update my mac it asked for my adiminstartor password. I dont know my password. Any way to reset it without using a disc?

    Sure there is.
    1. restart your computer in Single User Mode (by pressing Command + S during boot - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492)
    This will boot your OS X system in a kind of command line mode.
    Note: this will not work if you have a Firmware password set.
    2. when in Single User Mode, enter the following command
    mount -uw /
    to mount your OS X file system.
    3. now you can enter the following command
    passwd username
    replacing "username" by your OS X user's short name. Then you will be prompted to enter the new password for that user. You will have to confirm that new password.
    Note that you will not see any character showing when you enter the new password; this is expected behaviour.

  • HT4528 Forgot password to log on to phone, is there any way to reset?

    Forgot password to log on to phone, is there any way to reset?

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
    As to whether you can work with Apple via email on this issue I can't say for sure, but you can contact them via this web page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/
    and see if they can help. It's mostly going to be an issue of you being able to prove to them that you are the account owner.

  • HT4946 i have forget my iphone backup password in itune, any way to reset it ?

    i have forget my iphone backup password in itune, any way to reset it ?

    Well, there ya go. The requirement to encrypt your backups has been done by a profile installed on your phone when you setup the Exchange account. The only way around this is to delete the account & profile from your phone.
    Try your Exchange password or Domain password.

  • Uninstalled Safari. Any way to re-install it?

    Safari was giving me an avalanche of problems on Mavericks. I do 95% of my browsing using Chrome, so I just uninstalled Safari figuring I'd just download it again and install and see if that fixed the problem. Yeah... about that. I can't find Safari available for download anywhere.
    Is there any way to re-install Safari?
    Or am I going to have to try to do a full format/reinstall of Mavericks in order to get it back?

    The only way to reinstall Safari would be to reinstall Mavericks. You don't need to reformat your drive or anything of that nature. You can use Recovery to reinstall OSX. All you data will be retained, however, it is always a good idea to keep a current backup.

  • When I try to create a sync account, it says that my email is already in use but I haven't set up an account. Is there any way to reset this?

    I fill out all of the information to get a new sync account, but it won't let me create it because it says that my email is already in use. Is there any way to get my information or just reset the information with it?

    Hi Russ!
    Apparently you already configured your account but you don't have nor the key or the password. You can get the password in the [https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot following link] but you would need the Sync Key to sync your device to the rest of your devices.
    If you don't have the Sync Key the best thing you can do is to reset it, by deleting the previous account and creating a new one with the same user. You can perform this tasks from your [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ account dashboard].

  • Is there any way to reset my ipod, delete all content manually w/o itunes?

    My ipod is just jacked. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to send it off to be repaired. I would like to delete all my photos, music, etc before I send it off.. is there any way to modify your ipod without conecting to the pc? It will not connect to itunes and it is not recognised by any pc I try it on.
    THX!!

    This is from a previous post I did earlier. This also cleans the iPod out without wiping the firmware. Your iPod may not be toast after all.
    I was having the same problem as a lot of you where iTunes did not recognize my iPod. Now it does. Here's what I did.
    Disclaimer: I am no computer expert, just read ALOT of posts and figured my problem out.
    First problem I was having was that my cpu wasn't seeing the iPod as a mass storage device or iPod, just "removable disc". This was due to having my usb printer on. It was hogging resources I guess.
    Still didn't work in iTunes and locked it up. Reset using the iPod (whre the Apple logo comes up and have to select language initial screen)
    My problem included the following:
    When I looked at the "about" list on the iPod it said "Songs: 0, Capacity: 0, Format Unknown". Nothing there so the computer wouldn't read it I guess. When I right clicked in My computer/J:removable disk and got to the list with "properties" (took a while but it finally came up) it said the format was RAW, and there were 0 bytes on the iPod.
    This is the fix. On the same menu(removable disk - right click) there is selection called "Format..". Hit that and it should bring up a window to format the drive. Make sure it's set on "default Setting - or something like that", FAT32 and that the "Quick Format" is unchecked. Hit format and wait for it to finish.
    After I did this the computer shows the iPod and iTunes recognizes it and off I went on re-syncing all of the music in my playlist.
    Oh, and it did NOT delete the firmware in case you were worried like I was about that.
    Hope this helps!

  • Lost open firmware password - any way to reset?

    Hi
    I lent my PB to someone and I don't know exactly what happened, but now the PB can't start up. I get the flashing Finder icon and question mark, so I got out my install discs and tried to repair permissions/reinstall. But I set an open firmware password which I have now forgotten, so I can't boot up from the disc. Is there any way that I can reset the password, or somehow reinstall?
    I did check the airport card, it seems to be seated properly.
    I'm running 10.3.9 on the 1.33 GHz PB.
    Any help will be hugely appreceiated. Thank you.

    Thanks Gossamer, but I can't reset the PRAM because I've lost my open firmware password.
    I'm basically stuck with a PB that won't start up until I remember my open firmware password (which is unlikely) or I am able to reset the password somehow.
    I didn't mention in my first post - when the PB goes into open firmware mode, the screen displays:
    "Invalid memory access at SRR0: ff84a4d0 SRR1: 0000b030"
    Does this indicate a problem with the memory?
