Safari font(?) problem - running out of ideas!
Hi,
I'm having some Safari issues. I've been through the forums, and tried everything, but it's still happening.
The problem: certain pages are all jumbled, links aren't... well, aren't links. And some pages don't show text at all. Here's an example from my work email:
What I've tried already:
font finagler
font smasher
cleared the font cache
never had Times Phonetic or Helvetica Fractions
Disabled Helvetica Neue
fixed duplicate fonts
never use font sizes smaller than 9 in Safari advanced preferences
no user-specified style sheet
no safari enhancing programs (actually, I have Inquisitor, but the problem existed prior to installing it)
it's happened both on the new safari beta and the latest official release
Have tried both Western (ISO Latin 1) and Mac OS Roman Default Encoding.
I've restarted after making each of these changes.
Help! I'm sick of going back to Firefox every time I run into one of these sites!
many thanks.
Hi Lili and welcome to the forums!
Can't guarantee that it will work, but it would do no harm to try this:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

Problems Running out of IDE (Netbeans) LDAP SSL
I am kind of new to Java and I have a problem with a code that is using a TrustStore. Basically if I run the code within Netbeans everything work but if I do the "Clean and Build" and execute the JAR file when I check my logger out when running out of the IDE I am getting the following exception.
Mar 06, 2015 9:40:58 AM ad_pass_reset.AD_Pass_reset INFO: Bind error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: WIN-A321J1VGM4K:636 [Root exception is java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError]
Which is caused by this part
public AD_Pass_reset() {
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("MyLog");
try {
Hashtable ldapEnv = new Hashtable();
ldapEnv.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
ldapEnv.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://" + serverIP + ":636");
ldapEnv.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
ldapEnv.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, DAUser);
ldapEnv.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, DAPass);
ldapEnv.put(Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL, "ssl");
ldapContext = new InitialDirContext(ldapEnv);
catch (Exception e) {
logger.info("Bind error: " + e);
System.exit(-1);
And from what I have found the Bind error could be caused because the code is not able to use the Certificate, here is how I call the truststore
String keystore = "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\lib\\security\\securitycacerts";
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",keystore);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "12345!");
System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "all");
I know that my LDAP is works with the SSL because I can connect using the LDP.exe and in fact if I run my application using netbeans everything works.
Does anybody know how to get around this?

maybe something is wrong with your install or your computers hardware as in a periodic defect
or the cd is dodgy

After Lion install Safari shows text as AAAAAAA. Have removed all the TrueType fonts doubling with OpenType, but problem still exist.Also removed Safari prefs, to no avail.Is there a solution or is Apple aware of this problem and do we have to wait for an update??
New Web Open Fonts standard has been adopted by Apple for Safari 5.1 running under Lion.
Garbage (Last Resort Font) is displayed in Safari 5.1 in place of improper fonts.
Problem may be caused by Duplicate Fonts or bad kind of Fonts.
Type 1 Postscript Fonts are no longer accepted by Safari.
Use only Open Type or TrueType Fonts.
Duplicate Fonts must be eliminated with FontBook.
NB:
Results are not guaranteed!
Restart of the System doesn't solve the problem permanently. -
Is anyone else having problems running out of RAM following an upgrade to Mavericks and Server v3?
I recently upgraded to Mavericks on my iMac which was also running Server v2. Following the upgrade to Mavericks I upgraded to Server v3 and have been suffering from constant errors where the computer complains that I have run out of RAM and suspends all applications until I restart the computer. I cannot work out how to turn off or delete the Server and therefore cannot isolate the problem to OS X or Server.
Is anybody else experiencing the problem? I am quite happy to delete the server running on the iMac as I only installed for experimental purposes and only really use it as a caching server at the moment.
Any help gratefully received.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

Hard drive issues...running out of ideas...opinions?
Hello everyone!
Let me start by saying that I love all of my Apple products. I've been able to use an iPod mini, another iPod, an iPhone, a Powerbook G4 and a MacBook with no daily or otherwise recurring issue; however, the reason I now have a MacBook is because the Powerbook G4's hard drive died. Sad, but after 3 1/2 years of problem-free use in college...I could justify the upgrade.
I purchased the MacBook from my university at a nice discount back in March of this year (this was right after the newest batch was released). I was comforted by the fact that I'd more than likely have another 3-4 years before a replacement would be needed. Now, I'm not so sure...
One day last week, a tab that was opened in Safari froze up, and a song playing in iTunes began to hang. I attempted a force quit of both, but with no luck. Eventually I had no other option but to shut the computer down. Afterwards, I began getting the infamous flashing question mark upon booting back up. I realized that I'd probably had some damaged files as a result of the forced shut down, so I began working with Disk Utility/First Aid to correct the problem. Luckily, I had no important files or programs to worry about, so I went for the Erase option and hoped I could just re-install the OS.
Unfortunately it was not that easy. Now my hard drive is not showing up as Verified under the S.M.A.R.T. status, and the volume "disk1s2" will not mount. I tried everything I could find on these boards, still with no luck. So, I went for Disk Warrior today and crossed my fingers. When the menu finally loaded, there were 2 options in the drop down menu: the disk warrior cd, and an Unknown Drive. When I chose the latter, this is what I was met with:
Directory cannot be rebuilt due to disk hardware failure (-36,2268).
I'm almost convinced that I need a new hard drive. However, when I run the Apple Hardware Test, everything checks out fine. I ran it twice. Also, when I run a test on the hardware in Disk Warrior, I get this message:
This hard drive's built-in SMART diagnostics indicate the drive is functioning normally.
Now, with my old Powerbook G4, the hard drive doesn't even show up in Disk Utility. That I can understand. It needs to be replaced. But with this MacBook, all the tests indicate the hard drive is fine. The only blatent message about hardware failure I get is when I try rebuilding the directory with Disk Warrior. I know I'm probably just in denial, but when my computer is only 5 months old...I think I have the right.
So, what is your opinion? New hard drive for the 5 month old MacBook (grrr)? Or is there still hope left?SMART diagnostics are by no means all-encompassing, so it's quite possible for a drive to pass SMART diagnostics but still be defective. My advice at this point would be to boot from the Installer, go to Disk Utility, and see if you can erase, or if that doesn't work re-partition (normally you'll choose to create a single partition) the drive. A badly corrupted disk catalog might not be reparable, but reformatting may work.
If that also fails, then the probability of the drive being defective is quite high and replacing it will probably be necessary. The tiny drives used in laptops are by nature of their very small components more prone to failure than are other drives, though as capacity and performance rise, even desktop drives are becoming more prone to breaking.
Hope this helps. -
Help please! Imac won't start and running out of ideas
Help! My imac G4 Flat Panel running tiger won't boot or go beyond the grey screen, here's what happened,
I went away on holiday for ten days and unplugged it, on return it worked fine for the first few goes however after leaving it with alot of photos open for a couple of hours I returned and the screen had gone funny, showed the app window on top but not properly and grey on the bottom two thirds, I could just about move the mouse which was ghosting and it sort of worked but not properly, I switched it off on the power switch and rebooted and it was okay for a few more sessions until getting stuck with the mail app open, I tried to force quit but couldn't and eventually turned it off on the switch, after which it won't boot or go beyond the grey screen every time I switch it on, I've tried all the following with no joy:
-unplugged all peripherals
-taken out airport card and extra ram I'd fitted myself about six months ago
- done command, option, p and r on switching on, also command x and command option.
- tried to boot from the original os x cd which came with it - this gives me a broken mac symbol and multicoloured spinning ball
- boot from os9 disk which came with it this gives me a flashing question mark sometimes but most times just the grey screen.
- boot from apple hardware test diagnostic cd which came with it, just says loading and hangs
- boot from tiger dvd - shows the apple logo then a sign similar to no entry sign and spinning thing underneath.
I've tried rebooting about 100 times now, as it once did a similar thing about eight months ago but eventually booted okay and then I ran check permissions etc. and never had a problem until now.
I've put everything I can think of in in case any of it is important, apologies if there's too much extra info here but if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful, am a bit stuck without it, luckily I've backed up most of my stuff but there's some things I haven't. please help! thanksSorry to hear about your problem and I wish I had happy news. Sounds like what I am going through. Just spent over 200$ getting the Tiger upgrade installed at a Mac repair place because I wanted it done right, and had the RAM upgraded. After two weeks of bliss I get a gray screen with a spinning gear. The CD drawer wont open, nothing. Take it back to the shop and I find my hard drive is done. This is the SECOND hard drive. My G-4 came with a 40 gig HD, the one that they replaced it with 2 years ago was an 80 gig. I hope thats not whats going on with yours but it sure sounds like it. I beginning to wonder if there isn't a design issue going on here. I am a casual computer user but my son is on it for hours at a time and I'm wondering about heat buildup and the hard drive. Gonna ask that question when I pick it up, good luck with yours.

Safari Font Problem (screen shot)
Here's my problem...
I cant switch the font back to its normal view. For some reason it keeps staying on what looks like some kind of 'comic' font.
any tips??
I did the Safari> Prefrences... and still nothing.
Is that the right route to take?[IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h19/Straightryder/ScreenPhoto2.jpg[/IMG]But do any of them look like the one that's showing up in Safari???
Does your brother remember where he installed the new font to?
Where did he get the font?
Can you check the downloads manager to see if it's still there?
He needs to help you figure this out, Dante.
(It's the least he can do, LOL )
If you want you can copy & paste the list of fonts in your user's folder
and we can take a look.
I can't find that exact font . . . I've looked around. -
Running out of ideas - how to stop iPhoto from constantly spinning!
Help! I've got iPhoto 5.0.4 and it consistently appears to get stuck in a spin during normal use - usually when unmounting a camera, but also when switching between applications and sometimes when it's simply left by itself. I've tried a number of things to resolve this including resetting the preferences, rebuilding the library, running it as a different user, yet nothing seems to work.
The only clue that I have is that if I sample iPhoto when stuck in a spin I see another thread that is not normally visible stuck on a semaphore when trying to perform a selector on the main thread, and the main thread is also stuck waiting for a semaphore. Presumably it's somehow managed to deadlock itself but I've no idea how to go any further...
Any ideas on how to go about finding a solution for this problem would be greatly appreciated!Steve - I'm just another user like you - not a "pro" - but I think especially if your photos are all hi-res, i.e. over 1mb each in size, iPhoto may be choking on your library size. Just my 2c.
You may want to break up your library into smaller pieces.
Do this carefully - and be sure you have your library backed up before starting. There have been other posts in the past about a product called iPhoto Library Manager. It's a relatively inexpensive and very good product that facilitates this process. That's what I used when my library got too big.
Good luck -
Help Please. Running Out of Ideas Trying to Make iTunes 7.6 Work
Ok, I have literally spent hours trying to solve this problem and so far nothing is working.
iTunes 7.6 (and 7.5) will install perfectly on my computer. However, when I go to run the program, nothing happens. If I look in the task manager, it shows that the iTunes process is running and using about 15megs of RAM. Despite this, nothing happens. No interface, no errors, nothing.
Here is what I have tried:
1)I have tried running the program with multiple users and the same thing happens, process is running, nothing happens.
2)I went in and tinkered with the msconfig file to ensure no programs were conflicting with iTunes.
3)I deleted and removed pretty much every Apple file from my system.
4)I have tried doing a clean install of iTunes and Quicktime and it doesn't fix anything.
Quicktime is working. The version of Quicktime running is 7.4, I think that is the newest version of Quicktime.
At this point, I am pretty much flustered and stuck. I don't know what else to do, short of reformatting Windows and trying it then. I don't particularly want to do this though, especially when the problem started when iTunes 7.5 came out. iTunes 7.4 works though it also give me an error but at least it works.
If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.If iTunes.exe persists in the task manager even though iTunes doesn't launch, it means something is causing iTunes to hang during start up.
Restart you PC prior to troubleshooting to ensure nothing is hanging when you start troubleshooting, or use the task manager to terminate iTunes.exe.
You should run a virus and spyware scan as malware can do this although this is not particularly likey.
Some firewalls have done this in the past, so try a start up with your firewall off, again not very likely thee days.
After that a good first step is to establish whether iTunes will start in another account. This narrows down the possibilities a lot.
The following ariticle on freezes tells you how and also how to proceed with troubleshooting once you know if the problem is account specific or system wide.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
I am going to take a guess that you will end up having to use MSConfig to look for conflicts. -
Font problems running a swing app under Linux
I have an application running well under the Win family (NT, 2000, etc.)... and it also runs well under a Linux Red Hat os... but in the linux environment I've observed the folloowing font errors displayed in the screen:
Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]
this is a unexpected issue because I'm not setting any font in my code... How can I solve it ?
It's a Java or OS configuration problem ??Here is a solution:-
Copy SYMBOL.TTF to /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/jre/lib/fonts or wherever.
Note the copy should have lower case name!
Do a chmod 444 symbol.ttf
I don't say where to get a copy from but you can imagine!!
Modify the file fonts.dir in the same directory as follows:
Change the first line by 1 ie if its 72 change to 73.
Insert the following line:
symbol.ttf -monotype-symbol-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-abode-fontspecific
You have to do the above as root of course. -
My font in Safari in that ALien Nation, but when I go to my Fontbook to get rid of it, it's not there. How do I fix this?
Just remove or deactivate the font you downloaded. There are various fonts that can confuse Safari and Mail this way, and the only solution is to not use them.
You may also want to run FontFinagler to clean your font caches (use Google to find it). -
I could not get out of my Yahoo home page in Safari on my Imac. I had to force quit but when i opened back up the little light under the Safari icon was still on and when i tapped icon I was right back to the Yahoo page which would not close. Any ideas???
Quit Safari (by force if necessary.) Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the page from reloading automatically.

Complicated rig removal... running out of ideas...
Hi guys,
I am working on an aerial shot in which I need to remove some objects. I have tried many things and none of them have left the area looking real, here’s what I’ve tried:
First, I tried to use the rotobrush tool in After Effects CS5.1 and then use an underlay of the texture that is supposed to cover it and that didn’t work due to seams in the underlay that I could not figure out how to blur together to look good, Next I tried going crazy with the clone stamp tool and attaching the clone to tracking data but the problem with that was that the source point did not attach to a tracking point (which I don’t see how you would do, so if someone could tell me, this would be ideal), after that I tried going through the footage frame by frame in photoshop with the clone stamp tool. That didn’t work because when I put them together in After Effects into a Cineon sequence, the floor looked like it was swimming, meaning that because each frame was cloned slightly differently, the clone source was again, moving and the exact pattern on the floor was moving around from frame to frame. Now, I am trying something which is a little bit more complex and may or may not work... it has been 3D tracked outside of after effects, then that tracking data was imported into after effects and attached to a null object (a sphere) and a camera was added. After that, I went to a frame where the most stuff that had to be taken out of view was in the frame and I used the clone stamp tool in Photoshop to remove the rigs that must be removed and masked out everything but the pattern of the floor. I imported that into after effects as a layer of its own and attached it to the tracking data of the 3D track, then made a mask of the layer and key framed the mask path, added a key framed curves color correction and I will add some shrubs into areas where the rigs are not able to be covered. This may not work due to the fact that there are multiple shadows on the ground area that need to stay but are currently covered by clean floor pattern but need to stay consistant with reality and how the shadows would be on the floor. Maybe I could rotobrush out the rigs that need to be removed and then place the clean floor underneath the layer which needs rig removal? What would be ideal is if I could find a way to attach a clone stamp source point to tracking data so that the source points I chose stick to the same spot as the camera moves around the set and the cloning sticks to the points where there are objects that need to be removed from the frame. As a note, this shot is a dpx sequence so it is already split up frame by frame. I am asking this question to anyone and everyone who has even the smallest idea. I have already done so much research and watched many tutorials that I thought would give me some enlightenment then didn’t because they were for shot that were far more basic than this. The camera flys around the set in a non-steady fashion and the rigs which need to be removed are sometimes behind trees and other things.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you put forth to this project!
Also, I am willing to work with other programs if it means I can get this done and have it look top-of-the-line.The tracking is all fine, I had to have it 3D tracked in a program called Boujou. Mathias, the problem isn't that it is not stabilized, just that the whole shot is a large scale rotating view of a house with a deck, I did try painting out everything where it is static, but once the camera moves, so do the chairs and therefore, we have lost covering the chairs and gone into covering random bits of the shot with nonsensical areas to cover something with. I watched your tutorial and since there is not very much overall movement, it didn't seem to help too much but I could give it a look again to see if I can try to apply something to this shot. Every frame of this shot is like the whole world was litterally picked up and shaken and swapped around, each frame is that different from the ones before and/or after.
As I said, the tracking is fine and going through the trees is not so much the issue at the current moment, just getting the chairs to be consistantly covered realisticly while there is nothing obstructing the view is what I am trying to focus on as of now.
NukeX 6.3 has a node called planar tracking, but for some reason, I can't really find anything like that in AE and I only have access to NukeX 6.2v6. I tried planar tracking in Mocha and that didn't work out very well, when the deck gets covered by the trees, the tracker gets confused and starts tracking the trees instead of the deck. I'm not quite sure why I think NukeX would be any better at it, but I sure wish I could try~
