OS X :: Fonts Taking Over My Macbook?

Sep 27, 2010

So, like a complete idiot i downloaded a torrent file with a few thousand font files. i installed them all and it has bogged down my OS and taken over programs like Safari, firefox and entourage (which i use for email). when i change the font in the preference menu in the respective program it will change the size but not the actual font style. another strange thing is that safari will not load pictures now either.

i want to just wipe the hdd but i do not have a disc because i bought it used. i can take it back to the guy i got it from as he refurbishes macs but i was wondering if i could avoid the trip if any one has a tip or two for me.

MacBook :: The Fonts Are Too Small?

Jun 22, 2010

I just bought a Mac book, it's a 13". The battery life is phenomenal and the trackpad is luxurious. However I find it really difficult to see the text on my screen. In the browser this wasn't a problem as I could zoom in, but the text in the address bar, and in all other applications the font is very small. I looked into changing the DPI for my Macbook and couldn't find a solution. I'm zooming in to see things but it looks distorted and obviously horrible.

MacBook Pro :: Fonts Deleted - How To Get Back

Nov 4, 2010

I was downloading some fonts from [URL] because I was going to use them in some software. Now it told me to just double click the file and hit "install" I did that and then this window came up and I hit the little + sign to add them. And then it started copying all my fonts I think? I stopped it and then it sowed a bunch of them that were not there? So I basically hit the install button it came up with coulombs in one window. The left coulomb had a list of my name my computer and all that. The middle coulomb said the three fonts I wanted to install.

So in the bottom on the middle coulomb there was a little plus sign + I hit it and it looked like it started copying all my fonts. So now I am stuck. Also once I had canceled the install/copy/who knows what. There was a message under I believe 4-6 fonts that were all in the middle coulomb that said some warning! About the font having multiple or something. Also is said I could use a command to resolve this or something? I don't want to damage my computers software!

MacBook Pro :: Menu Fonts Too Small

Jun 4, 2014

Just bought new 15" mac book pro with OSX and I'm going blind trying to read the finder font sizes. In reading about this in the community, there are many people who have decried this problem. I want to add my two cents worth to the issue. Even after increasing the page size to adequately read the contents of a web page, I'm still left with the miniscule type of the menu bars. While I see apple has acknowledged the complaints, there seems to be no indication of when or if things will get better. Even the unveiling of the new OS (Yosemite) didn't clarify this.

MacBook Pro with Retina display

OS X :: Colors And Fonts Looking Wrong After Displaying Macbook On 32" LCD

Sep 9, 2009

I am trying to connect my 13" unibody Macbook to my brand new LCD Samsung TV with the following situation:

-Cables: Apple's Mini display to DVI and DVI to HDMI cable.

-TV: 32" Samsung LCD HD 2mp - 1920 x 1080 @ 60HZ.

The only settings that does work:

Anything else shows this:

Could it be a faulty DVI to HDMI cable? even though the lowest resolution works?

UPDATE::

I got the DVI to HDMI cable replaced and now my macbook does display on the big screen, however i am having a problem with colors and fonts looking weird..

Beside playing with the settings on the monitor, is there anything that I can do on the Mac itself? or any apps to modify these settings?

MacBook Pro :: 'Other' Taking Too Much Space?

Jul 4, 2012

I just ordered a new Macbook Pro (with Retina Display).It's my first MBP since 2007.I'm super excited about it, minus one glaring issue. My harddrive is the baseline 251 GB SSD. I've hardly used the thing besides loading some music and movies onto it. However, when I look at the'About this Mac' window, it says I'm using 51.89GB in Other.Compared to only 11GB in Movies and 2GB in Audio.It's hard for me to believe that the operating system takes up a whopping 50GB..How can I account for this Other section?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.4), 251 GB SSD

OS X Mountain Lion :: Moved System Fonts Now MacBook Pro Won't Start

Dec 6, 2014

I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS10.9.x and in an attempt to troubleshoot another issue I moved all the system fonts into a folder on the desktop. I didn't delete the font folder, just moved the fonts. When I went to restart the computer all it would do is flash between a white and gray screen and randomly display a progress wheel but won't start up.

OS X :: MacBook Taking Longer To Shut Down?

Jan 24, 2010

Just recently my MacBook (10.6.2) has started to take around a minute to shut down instead of about 2 seconds like it always has done. It displays a lightish blue screen with the loading symbol as seen below the apple logo when starting up any machine. The only thing I have done differently recently is started using an external monitor and kb/mouse. Although I have disconnected all of these and it still does it.

MacBook Pro :: What To Do About HD When Taking System For Service

Feb 19, 2010

My 13'' MBP is starting to act up and it's time to take it in for service. The display is not living up to expectation, but worse are issues waking up from sleep and unexplainable pinwheeling (during low cpu/memory/disk usage periods, etc)Anyway, based on previous experience with apple, i suspect they'll resort to the catchall new logic board solution they usually go to. My concern is that I've upgraded my HDD to a 500GB WD. Usually I would drop the stock 250 in there for the purpose of having it serviced and just put my 500 back when I got the machine back. The issue now is that the 250 is being used in another machine, and this would be a giant headache.

MacBook Air :: Is It Normal For The Mac Numbers App To Be Taking Up 99.7% Of CPU

Apr 2, 2012

I have just downloaded Numbers for mac, I have a Macbook Air, July 2011, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 1.7Ghz Intel Core i5 4 GB DDR3. I have opened numbers, and it is sucking up CPU, if I click on something, it jumps up to 99.7%!! I currently have two sheets open, one with a text box, empty graph and empty table, the other sheet, just an empty table.. When I click on anything, the app locks up and i get a pinwheel. (until it sorts itself out, a good while later!)
