I run OSX 10.4.11 on a G5 and quite often when I start up the text is fragmented in both applications and menus. In Safari the address has random letters missing. Everything runs OK I'm just worried something more serious is wrong.
The address bar in my Safari search engine is missing. Went to everywhere I can think of to see if I could bring it back.
Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
When I launch safari 5.1 (Mac Lion) today, I found address bar missing. I clicked "Show toolbar" selected at the top of the View menu, and then "customize toolbar", no response. ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3632452?start=0&tstart=0 ) I remove all extentions and disable all plug-ins, and click "customize toolbar", no response.I clicked "reset safari", no way ! I unstall safari, and then reinstall safari 5.1, the problem is the same .

iPad, iOS 4.3.3
After I installed Snow Leopard, I noticed that when I am writing into google translation box, some letters are not shown...This also happening when I open a rapidshare link, it shows me the link with most of the letters disappeared...(see attachments)

[B]Issues:[/B ]Safari has garbled menus/text and so does [URL]
Also the groups on the right in address book are garbled (the text looks out of place/corrupt ). The contacts look fine, it's just a couple group names, not all.
What i've tried: There are no duplicates in my font book. I repaired permissions. I've tried the demo of fontdoctor 7.6 but it says no errors, everything passed.
I'm completely stuck - anyone else have this problem?

I'm running Lion 10.7.3 on my iMac and Macbook Air. I upgrade 1Password to the latest build (3.8.16) on my iMac last week but didn't use safari on it until yesterday when I noticed that Safari just opens blank with a spinning beachball? Not a major problem as I've been using my Air..... but just now when I also upgrade 1Password on the Air, Safari stops working and same issue. Firefox works fine.

My MacBook Pro would not boot this morning. Did a safe start and then everything worked except Safari. It quits immediately with a screen filled with letters and numbers. If you click on the Reopen it does the same thing. Tried the utilities / Disk Utility / Repair Disk permissions ... still doesn't work.

Safari keeps changing the text field on input, do you know how to correct this issue?Â
Here is an example:
Let's say I load www.google.com, it appears in the safari window as usual.
Suppose I begin to type a search in the google search field at the top right of the safari window (not the one on the google page)
if when doing this the sentence is long for the search, at some point randomly, the rest of the text will be entered this time in the google search text field on the google page! (which is the very next text field) So when I hit enter it makes google search half of my request...
Safari changed the text field I was into with no warning. I want to say I do not press tab at any moment. This is annoying really, and this does not appear anywhere else than in Safari. It seems the issue is not systematic, but appears quite often.
I have no universal access setting except "enable access for assistive device" I had to check this box upon installing a software in the past but I can't remember what it was.Â
I have Lion 10.7.2 and am running Safari version 5.1.2, hopefully I am good so far. I'm not sure what hapenned, I must have done something, but one day my address bar decided it wanted to play hide and seek and it won....the "show toolbar" option does nothing upon clicking it, neither does the "customize toolbar" option.

Does anyone else notice that on Leopard's iCal in month view, certain words cause text to be missing.
for example 'The Bluejacks Duo @ The Walkabout, Cardiff' is displayed as 'The Bluejacks Duo @ The Walkabout,'
If you enter 'The Bluejacks Duo @ The Walkabout, Cardiff UK' it works fine and displays all text.
I am convinced this is a bug but it has never been fixed and noone else seems to be mentioning it.
I've recently noticed that I'm missing text edit. Tried reinstalling software bundle from the DVD, that came with my macbook, but still nothing(I don't thinks that it's on the DVD).

The PDFs all display correctly if I use Adobe Acrobat (Reader or Professional). The one I can consistently get to malfunction is the PDF generated by the Postal Service label generator. The barcode always prints incorrectly by Preview, yet if I pull up that very same file in Adobe, it displays and prints just fine.

My wife is blind and the address book with voiceover is a chore. it is easy to get around but to read the info under a card is a pain. I bought her a itouch for Christmas that will get around it better. but it would be good to have a simple txt or word doc type file on the desktop to look at. over the years she has a txt file with the info I put it all in her address book but the file is faster. but it is a mess too.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm just setting up a Mac Mini for a friend and on power-on/start-up and also on shutdown I'm getting white text on a black screen which is obviously some kind of start-up log. I've had a fair few macs but have never seen this and certainly wouldn't expect it 'out of the box'.
What exactly is it and how do I stop it from happening ever?
I want to create a separate database for my professional contacts using Excel or Filemaker. Right now I have them all in Address Book. If I could just export my database as a tab-delimited text file.

The problem began with the Mac running slow and then freezing. Shutting down and restarting (if possible) gave some improvements until finally I got to a point where I could not open up anything from the desktop. I was able to open up my applications from a Firefox image on the desktop. If I placed anything in the applications folder I could open it up as normal. After doing some back up I then began to try different lines of appraoch for solutions:
First: I went into the Disk Utility and verified the disk and repaired permissions. This did not solve the problems.
Second: I booted the computer with TechTool Deluxe. I ran the tests and it found an error on the Volume it scanned---Error -4. I then did a repair of this error which went through successfully. The program then proceeded with another scan and uncovered Error -694. I let it run through the fix process but chose not to save the changes because it eliminated so much of my data. I was hoping I could find another solution before having to resort what appeared to me to be so drastic.
Third: I thought I might try and re-install Mac OS X 3.9 but there was no volume showing to write it to.
Fourth attempt: I tried to boot the computer with my Mac OS X installer CD and then to use disk utility from there. I noticed that my startup volume appeared in the list of options within disk utility but was 'greyed ' out instead of bold faced. I was able to select it and run the Repair function but that failed. I also noticed that when I selected that start up disk it said it was unmounted. I clicked on the mount button but that did not do anything. I then quit installer and it asked me to choose a startup disk, I chose Network Setup since it was the only option. After that when I would try and start the computer I would get a flashing world sign followed by the folder with a flashing question mark. I realize now it was trying to start from that Network Setup, but could not and afterward it could not find anything to boot from and thus the question mark
Fifth attempt: I tried to boot into Safe Mode. I could not. I tried to boot while holding down the Option key. Startup Disk Manager comes on the screen but there are no start up disks to choose from. It appears my Hard Disk has vanished.
Sixth attempt: I then booted again from TechTool Deluxe and ran through the whole process again, but for some reason the repairs could not be completed. I tried several times but the program keeps giving me the same message: "The Volume Structure Rebuild could not be completed"
The best I can figure is that I had a progressively failing hard drive which finally totally gave out. This seems to be the best explanation for all of the problems but I am hoping that someone on here might have a solution for me which I have not discovered yet.
I didn't just lose my harddrive. My 2007 iMac with Leopard froze up yesterday and it looks like I need a new hard-drive.But I thought I'd try to follow the support info to reboot it with the startup disk so that I could try to backup the files.I inserted the disk, pressed C on startup, and worked my way to disk utilities.I clicked on the Macintosh HD on the left side and clicked "repair disk." and after a couple minutes I got an error message saying that the repair failed.Ok, so then I stopped, but then noticed that the "Macintosh HD" on the left side is now in grey color print. And when I click on it, it looks like there is 0 bytes on it.Did I just lose my entire hard-drive?? Please tell me that there is some hope. I was having problems with backing up my info onto my WD Mybook through TimeMachine, so it's been over a year since that was last done. I am merely trying to retrieve files from the last year from my hard-drive before I have a new one installed. I'm dropping off the computer in the morning with an Apple 3rd party consultant to try and retrieve what he can from my hard-drive. I just want to know if I just made things worse.

I am trying to isync my nokia e71 with my mac. I think I may have done some weird syncing thing on my phone resulting in many numbers disappearing from it so I want all the entries on mac address book to be updated. This should solve all the problems as on mac address book they're fine. Without manual updated all 500+ of them, do you know of a speedy way of doing?

I went to sent a fax like I have always done, for years now. I select Send Fax, then Facsimile.There used to be a button that said Address Book so I could find the fax number to use. That button is no longer there. I now have to manually open the Address Book to find the number, then copy and paste it into the Fax (Print) dialog window.Over the weekend I did update my Brother printer driver using Software Update. Did this cause the Address Book button to vanish?

So, is it possible for the address bar "top hit" or "history" to recognize part of a web address if you don't start with it?
For example.

I have a white macBook (10.7.3, 250g HD) which has begun to behave in an odd way and which I have so far failed to resolve.Â
First I got a message saying very little disk space left - only 420MB which is strange because I knew the HD to be far from full. The beach ball gave me very little access to the Finder but I was eventually able to empty safari cache which gave me 6Gb. Â
Checking the root disk folder sizes showed that only 130gb was listed in the various folders but the status bar showed that only 6gb out of 250gb was available. I tried to start up from an external USB disk (no Firewire on this machine, sadly) but the laptop refused to starup from it - tried cable in both USB ports, disk is GUID formatted. I shut down the computer - had to force shutdown with power key as unresponsive to Finder command.Â
On restarting I got a message about forced shutdown etc but status bar now says 40gb available (when there should be over 100gb). I was able to select external USB drive in Startup preferences but machine will not startup ffrom external drive.Â
Disk Utility reports no problems with internal drive. I want to use Disk Warrior but cannot find cd, hence attempt to startup from external drive. Cannot even check disk while running DW from internal disk as it says prefs file corrupted or write protected. Trashing it (as suggested) makes no difference as new prefs file still unusable.Â
I have a TM backup but don't really want to use it if it is likely to have the same corruption.Also, why is the USB disk not starting up the Machine? Only thing I can think of is to do an archive/install of Lion, but is the bloating in the system or are ther some hidden files somewhere which won't be changed?
