OS X :: The Mac Itself Opened A Document In Textedit And It Still Showed The Odd Font?
Sep 2, 2010
i recently noticed that on some websites the font is different from default
idk how it changed or if i did or somehow, but i want to put it back to default
this is what im talking bout:
its not only on websites, but on the mac itself
i opened a document in textedit and it still showed the odd font, it has to be a problem on the mac
Im not able to delete a TextEdit document from my MacBook, Everytime I move it to the trash and click 'empty' the file returns to the desktop, I've also tried to delete the words from the document then moving it to the trash but the document returns to the desktop. I really don't know what to do, worried this might be a virus.
Just switched to Lion, and was alarmed to notice existing (previously saved) TextEdit files closing without an option to save or not save changes. How can I open a TextEdit file, edit it, and then close it without saving the changes? (I often like to print a document without the photo that may be in it, so I delete the photo, print, and then close without saving, because I didn't want the photo permanently removed from the document.)
I have the latest adobe reader installed . I went to look at my property tax assessment file . I entered my assessment # and pin # and got report . It downloaded as a pdf.html file . When I tried to open the report all i got was a page of garbage numbers letters symbols . The tax site said I needed safari and adobe reader to be able to view the report . Anyone have any ideas why it does not format in a readable page . My daughter has an apple with snow leopard and she gets the same result for her report this is some of what i see
I just download Flip4Mac WMV Pro ($29) from Telestream and my .wmv videos still won't play. The pop-up says "The document “vid01.wmv” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." What's a codec?
I have taken movies on a normal video camera and have uploaded the clips to my mac (Lion).I can not watch them.the following message is appearing "The document “M2U002.MPG” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available.

On my iMac with 10.10.1 I updated all of the scanner and printer software drivers. Now I can scan a document or photo and produce a file that cannot be opened because "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize.". Or "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." I am using a Canon MX 920 printer/scanner. The scanner works ok with MS 8.1 on my wife's HP.
I recently moved all my fcpx projects/events to a new Harddrive - I thought I did this correctly by copying/duplicating all projects/events from within FCPX.
When I last used FCPX all the projects/events were there - no issues. Also, when I look at package contents - everything is still there in terms of events and file sizes.
All the library files are on an external hard drive, on an encrypted disk image. Now a week later I have tried to open FCPX and I get the following error
"The document “MND_Z_FCPX” could not be opened. Read-only file system" and nothing will open.
Have checked permissions - these all seem in order. OSX is10.9.5
They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.

Whenever I want to open an image or document on my external display, it is displayed on the primary display (the MBP one). It's annoying, the image or document should open on the display from where it was double-clicked.
The website where I pay bills online has a hot link that says "print" and when I click on it, the printout is in a teeny tiny font.
The document that I print after paying each bill is the confirmation of the payment transaction. But it's almost too small to be read without a magnifying glass.
I can't find where or how to increase the font size of the printout. Firefox preferences doesn't include any sort of font size preference to choose from; and my printer application in Settings doesn't list font sizes to choose from or to set as my default size.
PageSetup allows me to choose a paper size, but not a font size.

I recently downloaded 4 movies on iTunes.. only 1 of them showed up on my itunes. I got the bill for ALL of them and itunes said ALL of them have downloaded?what do I do?
When I open pages it always uses helvetica as the default font.Can i set it to a different one like times new roman as a default.I mean you can tell it to start up by default to a specific page style, why not a specific font also?
I just got some internet going again after having moved. I've had my new Octopus for a few weeks tho. So much to my surprise, I open up my gmail account and it's practically unintelligible. Some weird cartoon like font is my default font. As far as I can tell, all the default fonts are activated and all the settings point to the activated fonts, but this is driving me absolutely F__KING bonkers. Has anyone ever had this problem? Now to be fair, I did install some fonts from a semi questionable font disk a week or two ago, so maybe some rogue font has hijacked my web fonts.
I installed some fonts in font book yesterday, and right after i did, the text in safari is messed up (see photo below) I already reset safari, and that didn't work.
I've tried to hook my macbook pro to 2 different displays, they both showed a very pink image, that gets more and more pink around the contours, I've tried calibration but it didn;t work
When I opened safari my homepage was apple and it opened using the middle of the display with the desktop screensaver visable on both sides of the page now it opens adn takes up the whole screen I don't know how to resize it and save it where it will open to the same all the time. I'm a very new owner of an IMAC and to apple so I'm completely in the dark to mac systems and just stumbling around. I'm a 70 year old guy that's ben drug into the 21 century and trying to keep up (not very good )
Found a macbook on the cheap. It boots and works via external monitor but the screen has no backlight. I've tried a couple inverters that I know to be good. When I first tried to change out the inverter it showed light for about a second then went blank. Now nothing at all. What should I look into yet?
I just signed into my msn on my Macbook today to find all my messenger contacts blocked, and whenever I tried to unblock them it didn't do anything.
Also when I signed on, almost all the contacts I had showed up like new contact requests, where I had the option to add them or ignore the request. When I used my windows PC with Windows Live, everything was normal and no contacts were blocked.
I am using Messenger:mac version 7.0.2 (090123) as far as I know, that is the most recent version.
I was normally using my Mac, as usual, when it suddenly crashed. The screen froze up and this icon showed up in the middle...A few minute later, it was still there so I had to force restart my mac. But when it started again, the image of a flashing folder with a question mark appeared. I googled a bit what it could mean, and I quickly found it was something about directory corruption. I tried to open the disk utility as advised to check if the disk was damaged, however it said the disk was alright, and it didn't give me the option to repair it. So now I'm stuck in the disk utility, and my only options are:
- Use time machine (I didn't save my data using it so useless)
- Reinstall OS X (Deleting all my content - exactly what I want to avoid)
- Repair the Disk (Which I can't even do)
So my main question is, is there a way I can get back all my files/data before reinstalling OSX? Are there other ways to repair what is broken without resetting my whole comp? Is it even possible that your mac crashes at any moment, making you lose EVERYTHING for no reason?

I have a MAC OS LION and our lawyer uses the font "Garamond". Unfortunately the version which is in my mac does not support some of the "Czech-special characters". How do I make my Mac or Office Word use Arial instead of Garamond so I can read it correctly?
I recently bought a new Mac Mini with a 24 inch Philips display. When I connected the display and started up the computer, it booted up and showed the grey apple screen, but it never made it past that. On the screen it reads "cannot display this video mode, change computer display input to 1920x1080@60Hz." As you might have realized, I can't get onto the computer to do so because I cannot see what I am doing. This is extremely frustrating because I had my Mini hooked into my friend's tv and it worked perfectly right away and now I can't even get it to connect. Does anybody know any hotkeys/solutions to this problem?
