Unreadable text in Safari after installing Lion

After installing Lion, some web pages in Safari are impossible to read, all letters appear as capital A in a frame. What is that?

Could be due to a third party font manger.

  • Garbled text in Safari after installing Lion

    After installing Lion, Safari now displays many pages with what appears to be missing font, garbled text. Many sites I've visted in the past (including my bank) just have "AAAAAAAA" wherever there's supposed to be text.
    My first thought is either missing font or font clash. I never had this under Snow Leopard. Any ideas?

    There are two problems that leads to this.
    Mismatching permissions
    Corrupted cache entry's
    First you should try to clear the safari cache.
    To do so, click on the Safari menu bar at Safari and choose there empty cache.
    If that does not solve the garbled fonts, perform a permission repair on your system disk, using the Disk Utility.
    Before doing that, close ALL running applications.
    Ignore upcoming messages like "could not repair on file XY" while performing permission repair, cause this will happen as you perform the task on a running system and opened files can not get changed.
    If the problem persits, report back here.
    I recommend to perform anyway a permission repair after every major update, cause during the update process, very often file permissions get crumbled. This will also solve some other issues after system upgrades.

  • Pdf reader plug-in missing in safari after installing lion

    After installing Lion, my pdf plug-in seems to be missing for Safari. I am not being able to view the embeded pdf documents anymore. I have installed java for Lion, downloaded adobe reader plug-in, restarted my macbook-pro - nothing helps. What am I misisng? or is this a bug waiting to be fixed?
    Works with Chrome though...

  • TS3276 After installing Lion in my iMac, some formatted emails contain in sections of the text rows of letter A contained in boxes.

    After installing Lion in my iMac, some formatted emails contain, in some sections of the text, rows of the letter A contained in boxes. See attachment.

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on ical. After installing Lion I can barely read the dates of the month in ICal

    Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on the ICal calender. I can barely read mine after installing Lion.

    I should note that the time stays on the left of the event name when I re-enter the text (which I had to do all the time before I found the "show event times" button) so I feel like there's a way.

  • Unable to load many web based games after installing lion

    After installing Lion, I am unable to launch several online games (Pogo e.g.). What compatibility issues are being addressed?

    I didn't think reinstalling was gonna do me any good except for getting rid of every single thing I have ever installed since getting this MBP.  I'm thinking it has to be something that is on my computer causing this, especially since it only affects my ability to get to this one site and I only started seeing this problem yesterday.
    So, I went ahead and disabled all my Chrome extensions and I don't have any Safari extensions at all.  That didn't fix my issue.
    I've been trying to run Sophos on here, thinking that maybe I've got a Trojan or some kind of malware, but it never seems to finish a full scan of my hard drive.  That "Plugin" that I mentioned above has me very suspicious, except that whatever that is, it's been on my computer since basically when I first got it.  Maybe it's malicious, or maybe it's just a poorly named piece of software.  In any case, it got updated last night around 11pm, about the same time I noticed my problem.  After trying everything I have, it's hard for me to overlook that as coincidence.
    But, where do I go to gain more information about what that could be?  I should mention that this MBP is basically my first Apple computer.  I've been a PC guy (still am mostly) forever, but I finally dove in and got a Mac to start iOS development.  So I'm sure there are ways to get more information than I am currently aware of.
    Also, apologies if I posted this in the wrong forum.

  • After installing lion, my computer is running slower and having delays connecting to network

    please help me resolve my problem.  after installing lion my system was running great for about a week.  suddenly it is having trouble connecting to the internet, running slow and the history pages are appearing without asking for them..  unable to get my homepage when opening up, just get a white screen. if i go to the history, i can get the homepage.  Only able to access my homepage by waiting for ever or getting it from the history.
    please help

    Peter, thank you for responding.  No, I am not referring to the initial start up.  I downloaded Yosemite over a week ago and feel it is running very slow when switching websites.  Also, I have experienced numerous hangups causing me to force quite much more than before.
    I just cleared my Safari history (I am guessing that is what you meant by "clean the old internet-caches" and restarted Safari.  I will see how it goes.
    I uses a file called "Desktop" from my IPhoto library for my desktop pictures. It contains about 20 pictures.  I configured it that way in Preferences, but it seems whenever I shut down and restart my computer it reverts to the generic picture of Yosemite.  As for the question mark and "Update Needed" showing on my startup log in screen, I think I fixed that by changing my password in Preferences.
    No that I have cleared the Safari history, I will see how things go.

  • After Installing Lion how do i get the windows partition back?

    The Windows Partition is not showing up after installing Lion.
    I only get the option of booting Mac or Recovery
    How do I get it back.

    Hi!
    I had the similar problem, where my windows option went missing after installing Lion. I gave up trying to resolve it and did a clean installation on windows again by re-configuring my Windows partition & install Windows 7 on it. It seems to work well for now...
    Apple should have warned us that the Windows partition will be unreadable when u install Lion. Hence, allowing users to back their files up on Windows environment before installing Lion.
    Thank god I did not have any important files save in Windows.

  • Why am i getting poor quality photo prints after installing lion using canon pixma 6120?

    After installing Lion, I began experiencing poor quality photo prints on my Canon Pixma 6120 printer.  Prior to Lion, my picture prints were all high quality.  Now, anything black in the picture is faded.

    Lion should not cause the blacks to print faded. The printer drivers used by Snow Leopard and Leopard are the same version as that used by Lion.
    For starters I suggest you check that you have the latest version installed. This Apple KB article shows the MG6100 series has v10.51.2.0 as the latest version.
    I also recommend you do a Nozzle test print. This can be executed from the MG6120 control panel or via the Printer Utilties window (via Print & Scan, select the printer and then open Options & Supplies and then select the Utilties tab).
    If the nozzle test print is okay but the blacks still look faded when printing photos (note the printer has two black ink tanks - one for photos and one for text) then try a reset of the printing system. This will remove the MG6120 from the Print & Scan pane but not the supporting drivers. So you will only have to add the printer again.

  • Although I am new to mac, I am not new to computers and purchasing online.  I can't sign into the App store after installing Lion.  I have had to change my password 4 times in 2 days .  I am so sick of this.  I am trying to buy a tutorial for Lion.

    I recently downloaded Lion and since have had nothing but problems with my new i-Mac.  My problem with the App store is only one issue.  Has anyone out there had any trouble with their components after installing Lion 10.7???????   After several hours on the phone with a tech my situation isn't any better.  I think the tech is sick of talking with me.  He was supposed to call me today and the phone never rang.   He told me he was working on something to repair my problems and needed to talk with engineers.  How long could that take????   If it wouldn't hurt the person who gifted me this i-Mac, I would give it back.

  • Time capsule problems after installing Lion

    After installing Lion, I need to regularly shut down iMac(Intel) in order to have Time capsule do the next backup. This method allows me to manually back up the automatic function to back up no longer exists. Also unable to connect to the backup disk.

    Mine needs backing up immediately after its just backed up!! Its crazy!! IOS5 was supposed to be free but as a result I had to pay to upgrade to Lion then I had to pay to upgrade to iPhoto 11 just to be able to transfer photos from my iphone!! On top of this, Lion runs as slow as a PC, asks to backup constantly, I'm losing iDisk and iWeb next year and they've removed the bounce facility from Mail. Blinding. Well done Apple - who's brainwave was Lion and IOS5? Bill Gates?
