Safari's font selection is available but the actual font file is not in Mac

I am having problem with view the correct font rendering on safari for mac for some of the Chinese text. I used to be able to fix it under 3.0.4 but for some reason, the same thing is happening again and I could not get rid of it.
The situation is that under Safari 3.1, if I go to preferences->appearance->select (for standard font); I will see a font name "MingLiU" available. However, the actual file for that font is actually nowhere to be found on the computer. The reason why I need to find this file is that it is causing problem in letting safari to correctly display Chinese traditional text. I used to be able to go to font book and disable or remove the font but I went through font book and could not find such font file. I have also searched the entire hd and still could not find the font file.
If you have some ideas about locating that file, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I think I found something interesting. Safari 3.1 actually downloads the font web pages uses and save it somewhere NOT in the font book. I found out about this by using firefox, which relies on the font in font book, and by uninstalling safari 3.1 and, before visiting any cite, I checked the kind of fonts available and then after I visit the problem site and voila, the problematic font now appears in one of the selections for safari.
I guess I will just have to stop using safari until I am allowed to control the kind of the fonts I can download.
Thanks,

Itunes will open on my computer, but the actual itunes store will not open, blank page...HELP

I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!

Bucktr09:
I'm having the exact same problem. I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes on my iMac and ever since I did the store is a blank white screen. I can get my library content but the store is a no go. Is there any one out there with a solution?

I am connected to my remote server and "put files" but the web page files do not update, whats going on?

I really can't figure this out:
So I use a different computer at school for web design, I bought Dreamweaver to work on it at home, I get the files fine from the server that I uploaded at school but then I make changes at home computer and connect and "put" them and I check online and the web page doesn't change one bit.
I don't have the exact file extensions from the computer at school but when I connect and get I have a similar folder(s) set up and then it downloads them into Dreamweaver file manager box and makes the folders there I downloaded. The site shows up fine in Dreamweaver after I "get" so great I thinking.
But... not so fast, I change the page in Dreamweaver, preview n a browser and look right on so I "put", connect to server and upload. Then I check online an its still the same I uploaded the CSS and HTML and dependent files by dragging over and also using the up arrow "put" as well but nothing changes on the web page online.
What is happening here I am so confused?
Thanks a bunch, I mean I can still preview as I go but I really curious why my "put" files don't change my web page like at all!

Have you tried refreshing the browser, or deleting the browser cache?

"The product distribution file could not be verified" while attempting to install iPhoto

Hello,
I have accidentally deleted my iPhoto '11 application, because the iPhoto icon was showing up twice in the Applications (F4 key) and I wanted to clear the space up.
I have disks that came with my MacBook but they are somewhere that are inaccessible at the moment and I urgently need to reinstall iPhoto.
I have tried going to the App Store and installing iPhoto through Purchases, but "The product distribution file could not be verified" error shows up.
I have tried the method of using Console + deleting my 9n /var/folders and the Keychain Access OCSP and CRL methods to no avail. I even tried the Mac OS X Recovery.
Bottom line is, I don't know where the root of the problem lies and if I'm working on an atrociously wrong tangent. I am going to bring my MacBook to an Apple Store ASAP but am hoping to get some help here even sooner.
Thanks.

Hot dang, I found something that worked for me!

Basically you execute a command in the Terminal Utility, delete your Appstore cache and relaunch App Store which now allows me to download iPhoto '11!

Can I delete the actual .pkg files after they've been installed?

Hi,
My hard drive is totally full and I'm going through deleting everything thats accumulated over the years. I've found the packages/.pkg files that get downloaded automatically taking up 2Gb of space and I would really like to get rid of them. I've got the receipts folder, but the actual downloaded files are all still there. Can I delete them without ruining my computer?
Thanks,
J

This is happening to me also but only with certain apps. The message I get with the apps that won't update is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".

I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6 machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5 but perhaps for a Mac computer running Safari. Does anyone know if it is possible to add tools to the toolbar on the latest version of iPad OS & Safari Browser? If so please tell me how. Thanks

You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Try this:

2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

If you're using a PowerPC Mac, you can't.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.
If you don't know, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.

I can see the Safari icon on my iPhone screen, but the program doesn't run. I have checked the settings and it is on and not restricted. It seems that the application has simply stopped running. The little "searching" icon just spins and spins. Can I delete the application and reinstall it?

You can't delete it. you will need to do a restore.
