CS4: Font not missing, but glyph doesn't show
I have a Word 2003 document that I am trying to import as a test file. It has 2 sets of symbols: greater than or equal to and less than or equal to, one set in Times New Roman and the other in Symbol (PostScript).
I have InDesign CS2 and CS4 on my computer (PC, Win XP). When I place this file in CS2, all symbols are fine.
When I place it in CS4, the Times New Roman symbols are fine, but the Symbol font symbols appear as pink boxes. Find Font does not show any missing fonts, and selecting the box reveals that CS4 knows it is in Symbol font.
When I look at the Glyphs palette in both CS2 and CS4, I see both symbols are there and both have the same codes (GID:98/Unicode:2264 and GID:114/Unicode:2265).
I've pored over the import settings in CS2 and I don't see anything different.
So what is going on? How can I get this font to appear correctly in CS4?
The other option that springs immediately to mind is to pre-process the Word files with VBA. Characters in Symbol font in Word are sometimes just like any other character, but occasionally Word likes to make them into, dang it I can't remember what it's called. It basically surrounds them with field codes which are invisible to the end user. (Wordperfect -> Word conversions are particularly troublesome in this regard.) Changes to InDesign's Word/RTF file importer have caused a wide variety of Word dirty tricks to import with varying degrees of success over the years, so I'm unsurprised to learn that CS4 is failing to import your symbols where CS2 was successful.
Unless you're far more comfortable with VBA in Word than with JS in ID, I'd say: use Jongware's script. Or (as he mentioned in his linked thread) try saving as RTF before placing, before you start trying to automate the find/replace process in one of the two apps.

I purchased a movie from itunes on my regular ipad but it doesn't show up in my library. I am able to view it via my movies icon on the Ipad I used when purchasing it but it does not show up in my purchases listing to download to my ipad mini. Also if I access my itunes account it does not show up in the history of purchases listing like all my other purchases but it does show up when i open that page at the very top; separate form the list. I've tried everything to get it to show up so I can download/view it on my ipad mini.
Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find in the support discussions but nothing has worked. Any other suggestions?
If you have carefully follow ALL of the steps in that article, you are using a USB port directly on your computer and not a USB hub (don't use a front port on a tower or desktop either, as they are an internal hub) and you installed iTunes correctly using an Administrator ID and you have tried disabling your antivirus and firewall then there is no hope of it ever working. Look at the tip again, and go through it carefully, not skipping any steps.
Note, BTW, that an iPhone will not show up on a computer, only in iTunes. If there are photos in the Camera Roll then it will appear in Windows as a digital camera only. -

Can I connect an external hard disk to time capsule? I tried but it doesn't show up. What would be the reason??
The USB drive must be formatted for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), or if you want to use both Mac and Windows files, the drive can be formatted in FAT32.
A number of drives are formatted for Windows only in a format called NTFS. This willl not work on the Time Capsule.
In addition, the USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered. You almost always have to use a powered USB hub when you connect a drive to the Time Capsule...even if the drive has its own power supply. -

When I go to the song page, it shows that it has been purchased.
When you say "song page," is that the screen in the iTunes Store, where you purchase the song?
In your iTunes Music library, do you see that song listed? In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, below LIBRARY, click on Music. To the right, the list of songs in your iTunes library is shown. Is that purchased song on that list?
After confirming the purchased song is in your iTunes library, the next step is to get it to sync to your iPod. Please post back... -

I purchased 20 copies of the King of Math App in VPP and downloaded the codes but it doesn't show up in Apple Configurator. What do I do now?App not showing
If you click View, Show Sidebar you will see the other libraries under Shared in the left hand column. Click on the Library you want and you can expand it to select Music, Movies etc. Select whatever items you want and click import if you want to move them to your Library.
You will have to have all computers authorised with the relevant Apple ID's
Store > Authorise this computer...
This is separate from the Home Sharing username and password and is to allow playing of DRM Movies, TV shows etc from the other computer.
If both Computers use the same apple id this step is not required. -
When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account ID, it shows my dad's. How can I fix this so I can sign in?
It sounds like the apps were purchased using your dads account, so they will have to be updated using that account.
