None of the fonts from /Library/Fonts show up in the system! :-/

Hello all!
I have a very weird issue on 10.4.8 (Intel).
For some reason, none of the standard system fonts that reside in /Library/Fonts show up anymore. Neither in the system-wide font selector, nor in Font Book. Stuff in ~/Library/Fonts and /System/Library/Fonts is what's only left.
If I open a document in Pages it will say the fonts I used are missing. Likewise all web sites are displayed with Helvetica...
I tried removing all user fonts, re-logging in, re-booting - doesn't help... Any ideas what it may be?
Thanks for any help,
Artemiy.

Very strange! If you start up and as soon as you hear the chime press and hold the Shift key. When you see the splash screen with "Safe Mode" release the Shift key. A Safe Boot takes longer as the system repairs the disk, tosses font caches, and disables all third party startup items (and some Apple ones). After it boots try your programs and see if they now see the fonts. If so it may be there was a corrupt cache. Restart normally and see if everything is still OK.

None of the system accounts are usable.

We have a client in our test system where the ddic account password has been forgotten. In addition, the other user admin account is locked due to also forgetting their password. As was SAP*.
So, I used the option to delete the sap* from the usr02 table, and set the parm in the instance profile to allow the hard coded sap* account.
I can now login using the sap*, but it has no authorization to unlock those locked accounts, or reset passwords, or create an account.
We are now at a point where we do not have admin access to that client to address the issue. Is there something I'm missing? Why does the sap* not have auth to unlock or reset passwords? This is all I'd need to get one of the admin accounts back so we can then address the other locked accounts.
Your suggestions?
Thanks

Thank-you for your responses.
This is a ECC5 system. It is the QA system, the client is our 110 client.
We are using CUA on our Solution Manager to manage most clients user access. the QA:110 client is one of the systems defined to CUA.
I used the procedure to delete the sap* from the database table usr02 and set the login/no_automatic_user_sapstar = 0 then restarted the QA system.
I can use sap* to log in, but many options, such as create accounts, change passwords, are grayed out.
I've also tried the option to reset the lock flag to 0. The problem is, no one remembers their password!
I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't something associated with the CUA that is causing the sap* not to have all the access needed.
There seems to be somehting odd with that system in the CUA as we can add users, but cannot add roles to users. No roles are presented from the select list for that system. Which is odd, because they do exist in the system.
Again, this is now a rarely used client. I'm wondering if something with the CUA was changed/broken for that client, but since it isn't used we didn't pick up on it. And that is causing the issue with the hard coded sap*.
Thanks again for your input so far. Still searching for an answer.

Bold font showing up as outline system wide

At first I thought it was a browser issue.
Certain h1 elements were showing up as outlined when I knew they shouldn't be.
Ex:
http://markgretzinger.com/fontissue/fontissue_browser.png
...but then I noticed it in the dashboard as well:
http://markgretzinger.com/fontissue/fontissue_dash.png
It must be an incorrect system font, right??
How do I identify which one?

Hi digsafe, and a warm welcome to the forums!
How do I identify which one?
Go to that page, then view Source, see which font it's calling out.
I suspect Helvetica of some kind, likely Helvetica Nueue...

Deleted From Library, Still Shows On Ipod

Downloaded a free piece from ITunes U, from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
I have deleted it from my library but it's still on my iPod under artists (Doris Kearns, albums and genre (speech).
How do I get this off my iPod?
Thank you.

After uploading to the cloud, i lost access to some of my songs. The library still shows the information and there is a cloud download icon but the font color would seem to indicate it has been deactivated (i.e. nothing happens when I click on it).

After uploading to the cloud, i lost access to some of my songs. The library still shows the information and there is a cloud download icon but the font color would seem to indicate it has been deactivated (i.e. nothing happens when I click on it).

Problem closed (although not resolved). After working with Apple support, no resolution was found. I asked for a refund of the iTunes match purchase price, which was granted. Interestingly the support tech, who was very nice if not particularly helpful from a technical point of view, spun the "resolution" of refunding my iTunes match purchase price as a positive one, here is a quote from the final email
"I'm glad to hear that you're not having issues with the songs you've purchased. Nothing makes Apple happier than to hear that our customers concerns have been rectified."
It is notable that I never had an issue downloading music directly purchased thru the iTunes store, the only issue that existed was downloading songs that I ripped from my CD collection and "matched".
I'm happy that I received my money back, however I wish that the iTunes Match service worked for me (I was looking forward to this service). I'm most upset at the time I wasted trying to fix this problem.
I'll now download music the old fashioned way: syncing with iTunes directly.

HELP Upgraded to IPhoto 11 from IPhoto 8 and none of the pictures from the old library are showing in the new one.

I upgraded my IPhoto 8 to IPhoto 11 and now none of the pictures from my previous albums are showing in the new version. I hope someone has an answer to help!

Since the iPhoto First Aid didn't help try this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

The location for my music folders in itunes is showing correctly (E:\itunes\iTunes Media) but none of the songs are showing in my itunes library. Would be extremely grateful of any suggestions

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?

Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?
I'm not 100% sure but i may have had flash open when installing, i then uninstalled the font and then reinstalled the font. I even tried going from an OTF font to a TTF font.
No luck.
Do I need to do some sort of font cache clearing?

I'm using Adobe CS6 Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator on MAC OSX

Yes. It's rare, but some fonts do not play well with Flash. Flash seems to have a more strict method of evaluating a font that can be imported. This is, in my opinion, probably because Flash needs to create a faux version of a font when it is imported. There may be some information that is either missing or not acceptable to Flash in a particular font and so Flash won't allow it to be used - even if you're not going to import that font.

I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks?

I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. It is marked as an audiobook in Options | Media Kind. It is also marked to Remeber Position, but it does not do that. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks and remember the position? I have a 4th Gen Ipod running Ios5

Check out the instructions for a work around on this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702732#18702732
This worked for me. I would like to see Apple fix this issue, as it isn't very fun to have to do this for every downloaded book.

How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive? [I want to show the Cloud Purchases.]

Hey Hey!
Running OSX 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3
I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!

Thanks!

Deborah,
You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes. The syncing process is only one way. However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder. From there you can copy them back over to your PC.
Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

Hi jackp52432917,
How was that PDF file created? Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community
It could be that the PDF file you're converting was created using a third-party application, and it doesn't contain all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Have you had similar troubles converting other PDF files?

I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website. The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there. They are on my iPod nano. Please help!

When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet thos albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop but none of the others. What's happening?

Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?

I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.
