I see an apple logo instead of text (appears as a space)

Something I am having an issue with is seeing an apple logo appearing as actual text. It seems to appear instead of a space. I have seen this appear in emails as well as web pages.
I have cleared my font cache, checked for corrupt fonts, etc.
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?
Please see a screen shot here to see what I mean.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you bandit
I just checked and all my settings are Unicode (UTF-8) which appears to be the correct setting.
Maybe it's just me and the fonts are intended to look like that.
Can somebody do me a favor?

The second post. In MyMac8MyPC's signature do you see an apple logo right next to the Mac Mini text?
If so I guess everything is fine. If not then something is wrong and I do see the apple log in text form there.
Thanks again.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you keep your data backed up?
If not, you should always do so*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
You never know when a hard drive or a directory might go bad. Having a bootable clone is a must.
That link also shows you some tools you can use to recover data.
If you aren't backed up, try buying those tools first, before attempting to repair the directory.
Directory issues can be fixed with these tools*:

Hi richardwilliams51,
If you are having difficulty connecting to the Internet using your Apple TV, I would suggest troubleshooting using the steps in this article -
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
If that does not completely fix your Apple TV, you may need to restore it, using this article -

Hi,
Had the same issue. Hard reset not working.
What I did was: start your mac/pc and open iTunes, hold down the home button of the iPad (and while holding the button), connect it to the PC with the cable.
Keep pressing until you get a pop-up asking to upgrade or restore.
Hope this helps for you!

Apple suggest a removal and re-install of iTunes to get over the 1601 / 1602 error message.
Other sites suggest trying a different USB socket… direct to the PC / Mac not a hub.
edit to add usb info.

IPod touch won't turn on. I see the Apple Logo then in 5 seconds it's off.

Okay so i see the apple logo when i turn it on wait 5 seconds and its off.
i have had this problem since last night when i tried to restart it. i have attempted to sync it to itunes but it wouldnt turn on while connected to my computer either...its also been in the charger all night and had a full battery when i went to restart it.
any hel is greatly needed...thanks:DDDDD

I would put it into a recovery mode to fix it. Try these steps:
1. Unplug the touch from your computer
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake switch until you see the red slider and turn the iPod off. (Note: this may not work and if it doesn't go to the next step.)
3. Start iTunes
4. Hold down the Home button and continue to hold it down while you plug your touch back into your computer.
5. Continue holding it down until iTunes gives you a - "device detected in recovery mode" message.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your iPod.

When I turn on computer I can't see the apple logo the screen is just a gray screen

When I turn on computer I can't see the apple logo the screen is just a gray screen? I know a person presses "alt" to switch people apple and windows using bootcamp, but I just don't see the apple logo anymore. What is wrong with this thing?

So, do you see any boot choices if you hold alt at bootup?

I recently had my iPhone 5c screen replaced. When I switch the phone on all I can see is a dark blue/navy backlight on the screen. The phone powers on although I can't see the apple logo. I can ring the phone a bad Siri is fully functional.

Unfortunately, since an unauthorized party opened it, Apple won't have anything to do with it at all. It's not eligible for an out of warranty replacement.

Hi Logic Pro
You probably have a corrupt preference file, specifically 'systemuiserver.plist'. But there are potentially two of them, so ...
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
If this alone doesn't work, you may need to delete your caches, so repeat the above and then:
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Caches", delete everything. Again, you need to log out and back in.
Let us know if this helps.

Need help with my Ipad 2, after few minutes of charging the ipad comes on, i can see the apple logo and stops there and the battery doesn't get full charge

Have you tried rebooting the iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If the iPad will still not turn on completely, then you should probably restore the iOS software.
