after installing lion, font book detects problems with fonts

Likely a corrupted font cache.

Problems with Mail after Lion Install

When I opened mail and it went through it's upgrade, now I have a duplicate mail box for everythign that was in mail.
Anyone know why that is?
Also when I click on an Excel attachment in a mail message, it would show it opened it but I could not find the window. If I clicked on excel icon, at the top was the excel menu. I went to window and it showed it open 2 or 3 times, but I could not get the window to come up. I checked all the desktops and it was not there. I had to force quit excel and open it first then click on the email attachment to be able to see it. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks
Chuck

Problem with permissions after NOT installing 10.5.3

A few weeks ago when Software Update asked me if I wanted to install 10.5.3 I said no, since I wanted to wait for a while to see if there were any problems first before I went ahead with it. According to Software Update, 10.5.3 has been downloaded on my computer, but not installed, although I can't find it anywhere.
Ever since then things have been getting increasingly weird. I thought I had most of the problems solved after booting from the Leopard disk and repairing ACLs and permissions. However, after I shut my computer down for the night, and rebooted the next morning, all my problems were back and a few new ones. Now I have to log in each time I reboot the computer. I have to log in each time I open Mail. I can't unlock anything. I click the lock and nothing happens. Time Machine has stopped working again and is no longer backing up my data. When I click on "Get Info" for my HDs or apps, Sharing and Permissions says I have custom access - all the rest is greyed out, and I can't unlock anything. I seem to have lost permission to make any changes! Very frustrating!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, I can access the Time Machine application.
Following up on your previous suggestion, even though I'm listed as admin in the Accounts pane, I thought it was worth a shot, so I followed the steps set out in the Apple article TS1278: "Mac OS X 10.5: Administrator user changes to standard".
After booting from my Install DVD, and resetting the password for the System Administrator (root), I restarted from my Mac, selected "Other" in the login window, and tried to log in as System Administrator (root) with the password I'd chosen, but it wouldn't log me in. All that happened was the login window trembled a bit, then cleared, and that was that. I tried a number of times, with the same result. Do you have any idea what I can do to correct that? Because it sounded like the process described in this article could very well fix my permissions problems.
Thanks for your help.

Problems with wifi after lion upgrade 10.7.2 but only at home

HI, my wifi conection was problemless till I upgraded to lion 10.7.2. After that, it is impossible to connect through airport but only in my home´s wifi. Other computers work at home (including my iphone) and my macbook pro connects everywhere else with no problem but it doesn´t at home. Inmediately after choosing the desired conection it says: Not posible to conect due to conection time run out (or something like that).
Any help?

Then it would appear to be an issue with your router. What router? Model? Is the firmware up to date?

Problem with downloading after clean install

Since doing a clean reinstall of my Lion system, I'm having problems downloading some of the small Apps that I use.
In Safari, I get a message saying there's not enough space on my HD - and on Chrome, I get a 'Canceled' message.
I've repaired permissions - no difference.
Strangely, sometimes the download works (with Safari) even though it gives the free space error.
(There is over 359 GB of space on my HD).
Andy

Hi ...
Go to ~/LIbrary/Safari
Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac... try a download.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Problem with iLife, after re-installing OS X

I bought a Black MacBook back in March, right out of the box it came with all of the iLife software pre-loaded on it. When the new MacBooks came out, I decided that I wanted to get one of them, so I had intended to sell my BlackBook to a friend. Because I wanted it to seem as if it were brand new to him, I wiped the hard drive of all my stuff, and than attempted to re-install the operating system disks that came with it. All went smoothly with the install, except iLife. It is as if none of the applications were loaded on the computer. My friend is very interested in using garage band, and iMovie, so this is somewhat of a problem. Any help or advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

I was afraid of that... When I was gathering up all the box and cables and stuff, I found an empty disk sleeve, and I was afraid that might have been what it was. Do you have any idea if apple would send another one?
I'm practically kicking myself right now. I NEVER lose software/paperwork for my electronics... untill now that is.

Screen problems with 540c after fresh install of 7.5.3

I'm trying to get my Powerbook 540c ready to eBay before I go overseas to teach English. I did a Clean Install of 7.5.3 that I downloaded off Apple's website, and foolishly deleted my old System Folder along with the rest of my files before restarting the system. This morning I start the system up for the first time since the install and the LCD screen is acting wonky. There are transparent blue lines at random places on the screen (the "View" menu in the Finder is in blue, for example, and a blue line appears across the screen when I select a menu).
Is it possible this is because my system is now lacking one or more extensions it needs to operate properly? Or did my screen just pick this moment to develop a physical malfunction?
Thanks!

All the necessary extensions for a PowerBook 540c would have been installed by the downloaded System 7.5.3 software (with the possible exception of a computer with a third-party PowerPC upgrade).
What you describe sounds like a hardware problem (for instance, an internal screen cable or connector). Before attempting to open the PowerBook, you may want to try to reset the Power Manager and the PRAM (although it probably will not help).

Problems with fonts after publishing

I have changed the font on my blog page from Arial (on the template) to Arial Narrow. I was able to publish successfully with the new font once (http://web.mac.com/onenightoff/OneNight_Off/One_Night_Off/Entries/2008/7/2_I_want_amökki.html)
When I have changed the font in newer blog entries, it appears as the new font on iWeb but when published, it shows up as the original template font which, frankly is difficult to read. For example (http://web.mac.com/onenightoff/OneNight_Off/One_Night_Off/Entries/2008/7/17_Investmentopportunity.html)
Any suggestions how I can make the font on the iWeb show up the way it is supposed to after being published?
Thanks!
Cecilia

I just tried that but most of the pages appear to be in bold. So it seems I have the right font, but it is publishing as bold instead of regular. What is most strange is that I was able to publish one page and have it look the way it looks in iWeb, but that was just one page.

Problems with iChat after Leopard installed

When I tried to log in to iChat for the first time a box comes up saying it "unexpectedly closed" and asks me to Relaunch or Report. It has done this numerous times and never did this when I had Tiger.
Please help!

Okay, at long last I have the solution that worked for me.
I first called Apple support, which enabled me to chat with my father (both using MBP's on Leopard) as long as we were on the same network. However, when I returned home and we were on separate networks, it was a NO GO.....totally frustrating.
Today, as I read an article on Macworld about using the Firewall in Leopard, I realized that I had it set incorrectly. So, I set it to “Set access for specific services and applications” in the firewall section, then got my Dad to do the same and........wait for it......BOOM! We were FINALLY good to go. I just converted my Dad to Mac so this was a real thorn in our sides not to be able to use iChat. I'm miffed tht I couldn't get a complete answer from Apple, but ultimately I'm just glad it's up and working.
Hope this works for you all! Here's the article at Macworld I mentioned. It really helped me to understand Leopards firewall a bit more.: http://www.macworld.com/article/131116/2007/12/firewall.html

Security and privacy system preferences not working after Lion install. What to do?

Security and privacy system preference not working after Lion install. Not sure if it happen with Lion installer or after updating. What to do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Problem with font size, not showing up as expected.

I've been wrestling with this for a few weeks now, but surely must be getting closer to having it resolved. It's just a problem with font size on just this one page.
http://www.kgngroup.net/logos_and_packaging.html
I want the body text to be 10px, but after two weeks, have played with every conceivable way, altering body font size in CSS and in the document itself. I've viewing it in Safari but others on Windows machines tell me that it is out of whack also.
My main problem is that I can change the font size to extremes but it still shows up as the same size in the browser (about 12px.) I know changes can be made because I can modify the wording and that does change online. It's just a problem with the font size. Oh, and in the third column, the one to the right, in Dreamweaver, the font looks like it is miniscule, cannot even be read, but in the browser, since the style11 is applied, all three columns look equal size.
Not sure where to go from here. I just want to get the body font down to 10 pixels.
TIA,
Ken

I guess this a follow up to your earlier thread
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3627681
What would really help you in diagnosing issues such as this is to install the Firebug add-in for Firefox (as suggested in the earlier thread).
Firebug shows you visually what CSS rules apply to whatever element you click on the screen.
In this case, you have a confusion of CSS font sizes cascading on top of each other and that's confused again by mixing units for no real reason. .style11 is unnecessarily applied to lots of individual <p> tags. Remove those classes and delete the rule.
e.g.
The tiny font in the RHS column is affected first by
.style8 {
font-size: 0.5em;
affecting the <td> then by
.style11 {font-size: 75%}
affecting the <p> tag.
End result = tiny text (approx 2px).
In these cases of mass confusion, my approach is to strip out all font sizing from the CSS and start over.
Avoid %. Use px.
Apply font sizing rules logically starting from the <body> tag downwards.
That'll give you a solid baseline without weird effects.
Ah, I find your answer worth repeating.
Very cool that you have diagnosed so well and spelled it out here.
I will get the Firefox add-on you mention, plus, print out this response and follow it like a recipe.
It makes perfect sense and you have saved me from the 'clutter' of being wound up in too many directions with this because I could not make all of the connections that you have done here. I appreciate your help very much.
Thank You,
Ken

No sound in garageband after Lion install.

No sound in garageband after Lion install, can anybody help please?

12 hours ago my midi played through Garageband with no problems. Today it does not play. The Garageband window shows that the keys are being played.
In the moments following I turned on iTunes and all was fine so I burned a disc in my usual factory installed burner, late 2008 iMac, and the message was "no disc burner found". I turned iTunes on and off and same message. Ran Disc Utility and no flags. I am using the Disc Utility that is on my desktop. Is there a hidden Lion disc utility? Nothing worked unless there is a hidden function.
I was able to burn using Toast. This would indicate that the problems is with iTunes 10, OS 10.7.1

Problem with Java after Software Update to 10.5.7

Hi,
I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:
2009-05-20 13:12:01 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.5.7)
