No options for changing fonts under Preferences

I recently lent out my ibook to my father because his M$ machine died. I set up his verizon email. I went in to change the font settings under preferences and all the options except account were non existent. I set him up with a standard user account. I then checked my settings under admin and i could see all options. I then changed him to an admin account and tried to change the font setting in his mail, still no other options. What am i missing here? I am up to date on downloads, can you help me?
Ibook g4 and mac mini G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Sounds like the Preferences toolbar is closed on Accounts.
Go to Mail > Preferences and at the top right of the Preferences window is a clear pill shaped button. Selecting this button closes/opens the complete Preferences toolbar.

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

Changing font under desktop icons

Something kind of screwy has been going on with the font under my desktop icons for a while now. It's totally different from the font that the rest of my system uses. I'm not entirely sure what font it is, but it looks a lot like the font that terminal uses. It's white and outlined in black when I don't use a color label, and then turns really skinny and black when I do use a color label. Is there any way to revert back to the original font? Thanks.

Hi Joseph,
If you mean Font Finagler, then no, that won't change your fonts. David was saying his fonts weren't displaying properly, which Font Finagler may fix by removing corrupt font cache files.
It sounds like you want to actually change the fonts the system uses for its display. The only haxie I know of that can do that is Silk.

With the upgrade to 10.5 I cannot see the option to share apps under preferences sharing. Am I doing anything wrong?

I upgraded to itunes 10.5 on my Windows Vista Desktop and my wife's Windows 7 laptop as well.
On my desktop I use my login/account information.
On my wife's laptop used her login/account information.
Enabled home sharing on both the computers and authorized both the computers.
On my desktop when I open itunes and go to preferences screen and in there under sharing I don't see Apps listed anymore.
So I cannot share the apps I bought using my account/desktop with my wife's account/laptop.
By the way I am able to see music and movies across both the computers and can even share it. Just not the apps since the options is now not available under preferences >> sharing tos hare apps.
I am using iphone 4S and my wife uses iphone 4.
Any help will be appreciated.

As to the external, does the drive appear in Disk Utility? If so, can you see how it is formatted?

Remote disk doesn't appear in my finder. also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

remote disk doesn't appear in my finder. also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

Hi i also had a recent problem with a stuck cd in my 12" powerbook slot loading drive. I would suggest attempting all the operating system problem solvers first that are covered in other discussions on this site, such as holding down alt + command(apple logo thingy) + F + O straight away when starting up your computer. This brings you to the open firmware where you type "eject cd."
My problem seemed more physical than a glitch in the operating system The CD would try to eject several times each time failing with a horrid grinding unhealthy sound as if something was blocking it. After a while the computer seemed to disable the act of even trying to eject the disc and the cd would not be recognize on my desktop or anywhere else.
After days of suffering and failed attempts I managed to get the disc out by getting another cd that was not important, and placing it in the mouth of the slot loading drive and carefully bending the cd gently in a wrist swiveling manor so that the slot got pushed wider. This sounds foolish behavior I know, but cds have a nice flex to them which softens contact with the soft aluminum metal. After a slight widening I tried ejecting once more and it thankfully worked. The disc that came out was incredibly scratched so I came to conclusion that the drive had been squashed a little bit down the line.
Any way hope this works and sorry about the essay.
Pete

I followed the instructions for changing font colors and it worked a few times then stopped working.

latest version of Firefox

What instructions are you referring to and why do you want to change the colors?

Is the option to change font sizes in the Mail message list broken?

I can change the font and font size in the messages themselves, but not in the column that lists the messages. Weird. A Google search didn't turn up any references to the problem. Using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on a 2012 MacBook Air.

Thanks, Barney, but if the font settings don't affect the message list, the option to adjust size and font in the message list shouldn't be offered in the mail preference panel. This feels like a bug. To display a list in a font too small for users to read without providing an option to enlarge it is bad user interface design.
You'll have to talk to Apple about that. I don't work for them, nor does just about everybody else here.

Can't access Color Management options for HP 6700 under Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)

Hello.
I've got the HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One and I can't find any way to access Color Management options.
The printer is attached (Wi-Fi) to my iMac running Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).
I want to correct a magenta cast to photographs that I've printed. I've had the magenta-cast problem under Lightroom and using Preview to print the photographs, so now I want to work with color profiles in Photoshop Elements.
Photoshop Elements recommends that I "disable color management in the printer preferences dialog".
However, I'm not able to find color management preferences for the 6700 in any of the settings under Mountain Lion:
Not under (Apple) > System Preferences > Print & Scan.
Not under (HP Utility) > Open Embedded Web Server.
Not under (HP Utility) > Printer Settings.
Not under Preview's print dialog.
Nor can I find any clear direction in the online help (at HP or elsewhere) that I've read so far.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
Michael
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please note that in the Print dialog I get "Color Matching" not "Color Management."
Still, I am (at this point) able to control color from Photoshop Elements, so that's good enough to proceed.
Thanks again.

Can I change Font List preferences to not start from A...

To explain further, previously in CS6 I could scroll from say "M" down to "R" no problem; whilst also seeing a preview. Now in CC, Say I'm using Meta and want to scroll down to say Rockwell - I have to start again from A (or my most recent fonts first). Its killing my time as I have to type the font name.
Is there something in the preferences I can change as its starting to grate a bit.
Cheers

Unfortunately, the only method of resolving this notorious problem is for the person whose telephone number is erroneously registered with iMessage to contact Apple Support and request that their telephone number be deregistered.
