I just updated to 10.8.4 and my mail program is showing a series of boxes with AAAAs inside them instead of the email addresses. Also when on Safari web pages are displaying the same AAAAAs instead of type. Firefox displays fine. Can someone help me?

Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

After the recent update the entire browser, including menus, icons, and everything on the web page, are too small. Fonts are smaller, pics are smaller, zoom settings will not remain universal. Minimum font size will make text readable, but all pics are to

The new update has screwed up my browser settings, I cannot get them fixed and Im pissed because my computer is an eye-sore to read until this is fixed! EVERYTHING in the browser is smaller, fonts, menus, icons, web page content, pictures, tables, etc. I have set the minimum font in the settings and the text is just to a point where it is easily readable at the maximum size setting, but all the menus and icons are still tiny and hard to read. The last version I had installed worked fine with no add-ons needed. Everything fit the screen fine and was easily readable without modification. I want this version off my PC and I want the last version I had back on but I dont know what version it was!!!!!!! ARARGGGG
In fact, this stupid troubleshooting window that I am in filling out this form doesnt fit the page right at all, and edges of the text are cut off, so Im not even sure what some of these boxes are asking for!!

*Try to set the pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Are there differences between Solaris 8 and Solaris 2.6 in the way web pages are displayed for Chinese and Korean text using UTF-8 settings?

A user is running a web application on Solaris Release 2.6 with UTF-8. After the server was updated to Solaris 8, the application is experiencing problems with webpages containing Korean and Chinese text. The encoding is UTF-8. Has anyone experienced this problem? I checked the packages installed on Solaris 8 and they are consistent with what was installed on Solaris 2.6. Could this possibly be a patch-level problem? Thank you.

Hi,
It could be a problem with the necessary patche updation. refer the following FTP site for the Solaris pathces.
connect through the FTP cleint to sunsolve.sun.com
/pub/patches directory contains a lot of patches for solaris.
Find and install the corresponding patch require to solve your problem.

Firefox opens/loads but no web pages are displayed

When Firefox starts, the menu bar (I think it is called) at the top of the screen appears normally. Under the "View" options everything is "grayed out" rendering all options inaccessable. Through the "bookmarks" tab I can navigate to pages and I see that I am accessing the pages through the "Windows" tab, however no pages pop up on my screen (I only see my desktop background).
This problem occured after I broke down my computer set up, (using an external monitor with laptop) re-connected the monitor, and re-started the computer. I can use Safari normally however.
Thank you for your help!

Web browsers are displaying 'hidden characters' or dashes between words

I've just updated to Snow Leopard and now all of my web browsers are displaying 'hidden characters' or dashes in between words on websites like Yahoo and others. Headlines looks like something like this: The-best-places-to-live-in-America. Also, numbers are displayed with a box around each character and a horizontal line going through them, making them almost unreadable. This is happening with Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

menchee wrote:
Is there an option on those browsers to not 'allow pages to choose their own fonts'.
No. To fix it with them you have to get rid of the fonts installed on your system which are causing the problem. The code of the web pages is calling for certain fonts, and you have junk installed which is substituting for the real ones. You be able to see the junk by looking at samples in Fontbook.

Display problems with allowing web pages to use their own fonts, both on and off.

I refer to the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" option in the Content > Advanced tab of the Options menu.
When I have this option unchecked, allowing my font choice to override the default non-image generated text for web pages, it seems that many icons and buttons on numerous sites are replaced by some sort of hex code malfunction. They appear as small boxes with four characters inside. I'm sure someone knows the official term for what these are and why they occur.
When I have the option checked, however, any non-image generated text on numerous websites appears as an ugly Stencil font that I simply cannot find the origin of. It should not be and clearly isn't the default font for all of these different sites. By "non-image generated text", I mean any text that is not incorporated into the design of the page.
This issue has persisted through several full re-installs. Any insight into a solution for one or both sides of this problem would be quite appreciated. Thanks for reading.

You would have to remove (uninstall) or reinstall the Georgia font if it is currently corrupted.
You can use the System File Checker to check for missing and corrupted font files.
It needs to be run from an Elevated Command Prompt.
Open a cmd.exe window as Administrator:
Start, click Programs, click Accessories
Right-click Command Prompt, and choose "Run as administrator"
Click past the UAC Screen
After the cmd.exe prompt, type: sfc.exe /scannow and press Enter

Web pages are not automatically published. First they are saved as drafts with a .new extension.

Hi,
I am curently using adobe CS3. I am facing this strange
problem where my web pages are being saved with a .new extension
when I am tryign to publish. Everytime I need to go and change the
extension from .cfm.new to .cfm inorder to see the changes made to
the web page. I have even enabled the option so that contribute
does not send the page for reviewing before publsihing. Even after
enabling it I am facine the same problem. And this problem is being
faced by everyone who has publishing rights including the admin.
Can anyone please suggest a way to get rid of the .new extension
after publishing.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

We, too, are having this problem. I see two posts in 2008-07 reporting this, but no answers and nothing via Google.
Details:
1. The web server is a Red Hat Linux / Apache.
2. It seems site-wide: several department webmasters have reported the problem. It may be limited to webs that are using Contribute and check-in/check-out.
3. The only thing I can think might be causing it is that our NTP daemon is broken, and the time of day drifted ~6 minutes (I have since reset the clock by hand).

Web pages are not displaying properly

pages are displaying text only, no graphics

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Hello Doug.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Safari is repeatedly crashing and web pages are not responding

So, my safari is constantly freezing (the spinning wheel of death shows up) and then I'm told that the web-pages are not responding and I need to force reload them all. And this can repeat a number of times; a full system re-start is the only fix.
Any fixes, solutions would be appreciated.
I'm using Safari 5.1.9; and Mac OS X 10.6.8

MIght be third party plugins causing Safari to freeze.
Try the troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And see if you can do this before Safari freezes.
Launch Safari and immediately press Command , (comma) to open the Safari Preferences pane then select the Extentions tab.
If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If Safari doesn't freeze, uninstall one extension at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test again.

My web pages are dark and out of focus. I have tried all the setting on my computer. Help!

The web pages are dark and the contrast is off. It is not the computer as when I shut down frefox it does not seem to effect the computer.

Keynote, Numbers and Pages are displayed as Top Free, but charges fee.

Hi All,
In the first page of Appstore Keynote, Numbers and Pages are displayed as Top Free. But when I try to get them from AppStore it charges fee. How can I get them free?
Thanks in advance.

Asked and answered at least a dozen times in this forum in the last week. Please always do a search before posting.
The iWork apps are currently free to some folks who qualify.
If someone bought a new Mac since ! OCT 2013, iWork is free.
If someone owned the previous version of iWork and upgraded to OS X Mavericks 10.9, the newest version of iWorks for Mavericks is free.
Otherwise, these are usually paid apps.
