On Wikipedia Firefox shows symbols big square,circle, triangles no text.

Lately when I go to Wikipedia no text is shown, only large symbols of squares, circles, triangles, etc. At first I thought it was censorship but I've seen it on a few other sites. My ISP said to get updates to Adobe Reader--it's done, but still see this jibberish. So I'm thinking maybe I'm missing an update of something else. I'm using free AVG virus protection and thought maybe it's not letting update to something in.
When I say big symbols, I mean big. I can't think of what else to try.
Thanks.

Can you attach a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot]?
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Such issues can be caused by a corrupted font.
Try to disable the website fonts as a test and try a few different default (serif/sans-serif) fonts.<br />
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced ([ ] Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above)<br />
If that works then you need to reinstall the corrupted font.
Other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

Why does "Find Friends" sometimes show a big, purple circle

Why does "Find Friends" sometimes show a big, purple circle around the friend I'm locating? Not the small dot that *is* the friend, but a larger radius...

Essentially, that's the error bar of the location, indicating that your friend has not be accurately loccated.

I have been having issues with my iCloud email on my iMac. For some time period, everyday, it won't reload and often shows symbols instead of letters for the text. Any ideas how to solve?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Email showing symbols/boxes/squares instead of letters? HELP!

Im trying to print off an invoice that was sent to my email, but when i open the email all the letters are boxes with an 'A' in them. How can i fix this so i can read it?

I was able to restore it by going into Applications>FontBook>Edit>Validate Fonts. I then deleted duplicate or (errored) fonts. I also deleted my Font Cache by using the directions in this site: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10389716-263.html?tag=mncol;title Neither of these seemed to make a difference UNTIL i restarted my computer. So im not sure which one actually fixed the problem, but definitely restart your computer after validating and checking fonts!

Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:

If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

A request for my admin password keeps popping up randomly and a symbol (5 blue circles surrounding a yellow star) will show in the dock. I haven't typed in my password, just keep cancelling it. The file is called "finish_installation". Also icon is very pixelated. It seems very suspect and I am afraid my mac has a virus?!?!?! Any one? Please help.
I can not find this file anywhere on the system after this request shows up!

Doubtful it's malware ...
Try relaunching the Finder. Press Command + Option + Esc then select Finder in Force Quit window then click Restart.
If that doesn't help, launch the Terminal app located in HD > Applications > Utlities
Copy and paste this command into the Terminal window:
killall Dock then press Return or Enter on your keyboard.
The Dock will disappear for must a moment.
See if that made a difference.

While attempting to upgrade to Firefox 4, when prompted to drag icon to Applications, the Firefox icon has a white circle with a line through it, why?

I'm trying to load updated Firefox 4, when the blue drop down menu with the firefox icon and Applications folder icon (prompt to drag firefox icon to apps folder) the firefox icon has a white circle with a line through (like a "do not enter" symbol)

Hello puma1552,
Are you referring to the *Do Not Disconnect* screen display while your iPod is plugged into and syncing with iTunes? Check out this Apple support document for its meaning and why you are receiving this icon. This icon always appears when you are syncing your iPod with iTunes. It's basically a warning message telling you that the iPod is currently in use and should not be removed.

PSD's only show as small squares in overflow!??!?

Hey Guys
Please help with this.
This is So frustrating.
I even upgraded to Maverick to see if itbwould help.
So I have thousands of files.
As I scan to open one in Photoshop (or any other Cloud app) - I see the entire thumbnail for all file styles EXCEPT most PSD's
MOST show as little squares.
Or they show the whole image then switch to small squares right in front of my eyes.
What the what?
Please help.
thanks

Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

How can i show a big image on screen

I want to show a big JPG image(for example 100M ) on screen. The program is wrong when I only display 10 pecent of it , the error message shows "out of memory" .My GOD ,what can I do ?

That would take forever to generate something that large. You may want to re-size it or change the resolution so it is a lot smaller. Look into the JAI pacakge for this kind of stuff.

I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors. You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing. You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore. You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup). Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

I went into the original files in the iphoto library and organised the photos there, now when I try to look at the photos in iphoto the tiles are there but when I try to enlarge or put into a slide show a big grey explanation mark occurs?

I tried to organise my iphoto originals to it would be easier to back them up onto my hard drive, so I renamed them and grouped them in the orinigal file. Now when I go onto iphoto to view the photos in a slide show a big exclamation mark comes up and if I click on the photo to see the original file it can't find it. Any ideas?

You won't be able to run the rebuild function and restore your library becaue you renamed and regrouped your original photos from the Finder. I doubt if you can change the names back to their original names and put them back in the folders they were in originally so your only option is get your backup library and replace the one you damaged.
If you don't have a backup copy of the library from just before the problem that contains all of your photos you will need to start over from scratch as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
In the future stay out of the iPhoto Library package and only access the photos using iPhoto.

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer?

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer? After updating a flash plugin into firefox (when it had requested me to update it), it no longer shows up as firefox in volume mixer. It now shows up as some plugin icon. I really don't understand this, and wish it to be the firefox icon again. What is going on and what happened? It names itself "Plugin Container For Firefox" What does that mean? It has been this way ever since, and nothing I have done has fixed this. Restarting, refreshing, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. Can anyone think of something please? :(
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== This happened just a couple days ago (june 25, 2010 exactly)

I have this, but my volume on firefox doesnt work at all

Take your screenshot, then reply to this message and click the camera icon in the editing window. Click the "Choose File" button and select the screenshot. If you don't know how to take a screenshot, search for that term in the built-in help.
