  • Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

    I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
    Some additional information  - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
    As it stands now,
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
    Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
    If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

    The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
    If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
    Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
    Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

  • No Audio on Main Menu - Please post if you are having this issue....

    Howdy...
    I am having trouble getting any audio on the main menu. I can drag and drop audio files (non-DRM) to all my menus, and it shows up in the inspector, but when I preview or burn a disc, the main menu has no audio. All of the sub-menus have the audio just fine, but not the main.
    I'm currently using the 'Stretch' theme...
    Again, all sub menus work just fine, but the same audio will not play on the main menu.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    If you are also having this problem, please post here...
    Thanks...
    Best,
    Ben

    I've stumbled onto the reason for this problem. It's because you unintentionally muted your audio for this menu. To resolve it do the following:
    1. Open the menu where you are having audio problems
    2. Click on the drop zone icon to open the drop zones
    3. Move the music (the iTunes music notes) that you've placed here out of the menu box
    4. By getting the music icon out of the way, you will reveal a tiny black sound/audio icon
    5. If you strain your eyes and look real close you will see that there are no sound waves coming out of the sound icon
    6. Click on the icon and tiny black sound waves will appear
    7. You have now "unmuted" your menu
    8. Drop your music selection back into the menu drop zone
    9. You now have sound!

  • Are there any problems with Snow Leopard Server (Xserve) and PPC Clients

    Hi,
    are there any problems identified yet with Snow Leopard Server, installed on a Xserve and PPC Clients running Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard?
    Currently I have a Xserve Intel running Leopard Server and about 12 Mac Minis PPC running Mac OS X Tiger and Mac OS X Leopard. The Xserve serves services like DNS, OpenDirectory, Software Update Server, NetBoot, etc. All users have Home Directories stored on the Xserve.
    Now I want to install Snow Leoaprd Server on the Xserve, but I wonder if there are any problems using the PPC Clients? I have read something like this on a german website.
    Thanks!

    We've actually found that the Server 10.6.3 DVD does an amazingly smooth job of upgrading 10.5.8. We've been upgrading our production servers and nothing has gone wrong yet. Snow Leopard employs an archive and install method of upgrading which results in an install which is very close to a clean install. So it's been very convenient for us because our servers are used as Windows PDCs and it's a pain in the *** to have to re-join all PCs to the domain if we start from scratch.

  • Are my apps compatible with snow leopard?

    I recently upgraded my system from Leopard to Lion without first checking to see whether it would affect my compability with other applications.  Dumb.  I now can't run MacDraft 5.5.8, Filemaker Pro 6 or Quicken 7.  If I partiall downgrade my system to Snow Leopard, will these applications work, or do I need to go all the way back to Leopard?  I have both disks and am backed up to an external HD via Time Machine.

    You cannot "partially" downgrade. You can erase Lion and install Leopard or Snow Leopard. Check the developers' websites to find out about product compatibility. Quicken 7 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    You can retain Lion and create another partition on your hard drive on which you can install Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    You can then restart the computer from the installer DVD for Leopard or Snow Leopard and install onto the new partition. To boot into the older version of OS X restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the system you want to use then click on the arrow button below the icon.

  • Having issues with Snow Leopard and wireless

    I've read the many threads and articles on issues with SL and dropping wireless, but still can't resolve the issue. Can anyone point me to some new articles on the issue?
    I'm able to get online no problem with no drops with my iphone, I have the following:
    linksys cisco wrt54G2 wireless router
    Mackbook white intel
    The issue is that I'm dropping the ISP/Internet/Server in Network Diagnostics every 5-10 minutes and have to sign on again. I've tried a few things to no avail.
    Thanks for any help.
    Thanks.

    Hi!!
    I just received my first Macbook yesterday and have been having the exact same problem as you with internet connection. This morning I browsed Apple´s support website and found an article that addresses wireless connection and I really think it may help. I haven´t tried it yet because I don´t have my MBP here with me but it´s so simple I believe you should give it a try!
    Below is a copy of the article that I found
    : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2098
    If that one specifically doesn´t help, there are other helpful articles in this page: http://www.apple.com/support/airport/
    I really hope that helps, I know how frustrating it is not being able to stay connected! Best regards,

    AirPort Express: Difficulty joining third-party network that is using WEP
    Last Modified: October 21, 2008
    Article: TS2098
    Old Article: 300153
    Symptoms
    Joining the network of some third-party wireless access points requires a little special treatment when the network is protected by Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), an older wireless security protocol.
    Products Affected
    AirPort Express Base Station
    Resolution
    First be sure that the third-party access point is not restricting clients based on MAC addresses (sometimes called an access control list), and be sure that the base station has the latest version of firmware that's available from the manufacturer's website.
    Next, beware that WEP passwords can take either a plain language or hexadecimal form, as described in joining an encrypted wireless network. You might be able to avoid password issues entirely by changing the password of the WEP-protected network to a better format.
    Using that information, you should try connecting an AirPort-enabled computer to the WEP network to verify what will be required. If you have to enter a hexadecimal value to get the computer on the network, the same will be true for AirPort Express.
    Confirm that you are running Mac OS X 10.4 or later or you have the AirPort 4.0.1 update installed. Open AirPort Utility, and go through the steps to set up AirPort Express to join your existing network. When you get to the page where you select the wireless network the AirPort Express is to join, you will see two password entry fields. If a hexadecimal password was required to get your AirPort-enabled computer on the network, use the same hex code here, but add a "$" in front of it.
    So if your hex value is "6170706c65", you would enter "$6170706c65".
    Finish the steps in the Assistant. Once the AirPort Express has had a minute or so to restart, it should join the network and once it finishes rebooting (allow up to a minute) it should join the existing wireless network, as indicated by its status light.

    the lag issue on ipad mini is just because as it was updated to ios7 the ram availability on free ram has been to <150 mb which is over 220 for ios6 already mini is having very less 500mb so apple techies just work on it and make the ram availability as soon as possible because not only the games like temple run and others but also the interface is lagging.the multitasking is of no use because of it simply minimising one app and opening it within the seconds closing the app running and making it start again .so guys support this thread so that we will get an update asas.

  • IF you are having Battery issues, please read. . .

    One thing that people NEED to understand about Batteries, is that they need to be Conditioned when they are New! Meaning, that the first few times, they need to be DRAINED completly until the iPod shuts down(Regardless what the meter says), fully charge it again, and then drain completly a few times!! Don't rely on the meter!! It's a Guess, for the Video's/movies/pictures anyways. Here's WHY the meter is so 'flaky' at times: When you are listening to mp3's ONLY, the meter will read pretty accurate, cause it's a low drain on the battery. When you play movies/video's/pictures, it's a HUGE drain on the batteries at the time, so the meter reflects the CURRENT draw, and that's why it seems LOWER then it ACTUALLY is. So, let's say that you start out with a Fresh charge. You start watching a 20 minute video. At the end, it shows less than a quarter of battery left, and you are like ***?! It's NORMAL!! Turn it off for a few, and turn it back on. It should be somewhat accurate of the actual battery stength! Don't rely on the meter 100%. It's a Reference, especially when you are watching videos/movies/pictures. With MP3's I have found that it's pretty accurate. But, I have found when the battery meter says it's dead, it'll last for a few more minutes..
    One thing.. IF you have a New iPod, Condition the battery FIRST, before relying on the Battery Meter! !
    I hope this thread helps some people out that are asking "Why is my battery only lasting XX amout of time?"

    True about them 'Thinking' about NOT having to condition the Lithium ION batteries, but when I received my new laptop battery, it stated that I should condition the battery a few times. I noticed a decresed battery life, AND not-so-accurate battery meter the first few times with it. Since I have conditioned the battery a few times, it lasts much longer, and the meter is more accurate.. So, I honestly don't know why, but it worked..
    I'm NOT claiming to be a battery expert, but what I have read, and have done for me. So, I wish the best of luck to you guys!! I know it's HARMFUL for you to keep draining the battery EVERY time, but I don't think it's bad for you to do it a few times when it's new..
    Just my $0.02 worth..

  • Laserjet 8000DN issue with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    Hello,
    I am having a connectivity issue with a LaserJet 8000DN. The previous iMac was connected to the printer via a D-Link switch, and I assume it was using AppleTalk via Ethernet to read the printer. The OS installed on that machine was OS X Leopard.
    We had to replace the iMac, and the unit we purchased is a new Intel iMac 21.5" with 10.6.2 fully updated. In doing my research, I understand the drivers are already installed and need not be updated.
    My steps thus far:
    1) Print the configuration file from the printer.
    2) System Prefs>Print and Fax>Add Printer
    3) Choose JetSocket
    4) Select IP and enter the IP Address from the configuration file.
    5) Click Add.
    The dialogue indicates that it's trying to connect and shows a configure or cancel button. I choose configure and the printer appears in my list with a green indicator showing that the iMac sees it.
    However, when I send a job to the printer, I continuously get the "unable to connect to the printer, will try again in 30 seconds" message. I have tried every possible combination, i.e. LDP etc., to no avail.
    A phone call to Apple did not provide a solution, even when we connected the printer directly to the Ethernet Port which really isn't an option anyway.
    Other Information:
    a) I suspect my problem is directly tied to the unavailability of Apple Talk in Snow Leopard.
    b) I have a static I.P. address assigned to the Mac from our ISP in the 176.xxx range - and The I.P. for the printer shows as 192.xxx - Is this a conflict?
    c) I am not using an Airport - We are stuck with a Westell DSL Router that has no ports available.
    d) Someone suggested a Print Server connected to the D-Link so that the iMac and the Dell on the network could use the printer.
    Any enlightenment will be extremely appreciated - This is a crucial operation for our business, and if it requires that we look for a new printer solution, we will need to move ahead swiftly.
    Thanks!

    a) The reason you cannot configure as you have been able to do in the past is because of the lack of AppleTalk, but you should be able to reconfigure things to work.
    b) If your printer is at an address which is outside of the subnet mask of the router, that is a problem.
    c) If you have a router, but not enough ports, the switch provides more ports.
    d) The printer is network capable, so you do not need a print server.
    So it looks like your problems are from your network setup.
    I take it that your ISP has provided you with a fixed IP address. You should have the output of the modem connect to the WAN port of the router. The LAN ports should be connected to your computers and other network devices, and if you need more ports, connect one port to the switch, and connect the other devices to it.
    The router should be configured to connect to the internet through its WAN port. From that, it should distribute that connection to your computers, to the addresses it is configured to provide. Those are usually in the 192.168.xxx.xxx range, but could be different. You should be able to change them. If the router LAN address is 192.168.1.0 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.000, the things that you connect to it can have address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255.
    You should be able to change the address on the printer if you need to. The instructions should be in the printer documentation, or available on the HP website.
    You probably have all the hardware you need, but you need to look at your network configuration, decide whether it is correct or not, and make adjustments to get this working.
    A word of warning: If you have a fixed IP address because you have a server connected directly to the Internet, you need to configure your router appropriately. If you do not understand all of this, you may need someone familiar with network setup to help you.

  • AT&T USBConnect Lightning performance issues with Snow Leopard

    I recently purchased the AT&T USBConnect Lightning wireless data adapter and attempted to install it on my 15" MBP but ran into global network performance issues afterward so I wanted to check with anyone here who may have the same adapter. I noticed that the adapter has software drivers preloaded on the device that need to be installed on my Mac. Looking at the notes, it refers only to Mac OSX 10.4.11 or better and no mention of Snow Leopard so I'm now very concerned. The notes state that once the drivers are installed, that I'm required to reboot my computer which leads me to think the drivers may have affected MTU and other settings that might also impact performance with my other network adapters.
    Appreciate any feedback you might have with this scenario.
    Thanks so much!

  • IDVD (possibly iLife) issues with Snow Leopard

    So I've been trying to create a wedding dvd from a video that I recorded for them. I've done this before (on Leopard) and everything worked fine. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard (including a fresh install) this doesn't seem to work.
    Basically iDVD wouldn't launch completely. It would let me select 'create a new project' and then load the themes but the project screen wouldn't open. When I'd go to the file menu and open/close etc the main screen would pop up asking me to cancel, save or don't save the current project. Regardless of which option I chose, the program would freeze and I would have to force quit.
    This was on top of issues with iMovie in which I couldn't select the transitions options without iMovie crashing.
    Now having searched the internet high and low for solutions, it seems quite a lot of people are having issues with this and I think I know why. Those people having issues seem to be the ones who have iLife on their Tiger setup cd's that came with their macbook/desktop.
    Now just so you know I have done all the selected solutions such as removing the preference file from library, repairing disk permissions, reinstalling iLife, reinstalling iDVD without the rest of the bundled software. I even went to the extremes of formatting my hard drive and installing Snow Leopard from scratch and this didn't work. So I thought I'd try upgrading to Snow Leopard from Leopard, again the same issue arose.
    It got to the stage where I actually ended up going back to Tiger (10.4) and finishing the dvd and burning it. Now with iDVD and iMovie working fine I decided to upgrade back to Snow Leopard, and low and behold, iDVD isn't working.
    I really hope Apple are aware of the issue because it seems to be an problem with people installing the bundled software which came with their macbook/desktop on a version of Leopard/Snow Leopard and it not working.
    I'm going to take my macbook into the store soon/and or call Apple Care and request a new install disk of iLife to try and eliminate the issues because when I'm creating a movie, I don't expect to have to roll back to 2 previous OSX version's before my software works.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please fire them my way.

    While 7.0.4 may work fine with your version of 10.6.2, it doesn't work for others. You'll notice quite a few posts in this section of users with the same error.
    The only issue I can assume, as mentioned in the original post, is users who are installing iLife from the original installation CD's provided when I bought my Macbook (which came preinstalled with Tiger). The iLife software comes bundled on two cd's, which I and other users install from. Hence it's the only thing the users who are installing and having issues with have in common.
    I could understand if it was only me having issues and if these issues resolved themselves from a fresh, clean install after a reformat, but that's not the case.
    I'll call Apple Care tomorrow and see what they think.

  • Mac WIFI issues with snow leopard can I change router settings?

    Hello,
    I work for a hotel and some of our guests are having issues logging on to WIFI with there mac's, all pc's tablets and phones are fine. It only seems to be mac's with the latest snow leopard operating system.
    We are using ruckas AP's broadcasting a WPA2-AES encrypted signal throughout the hotel. Is there any settings we can change in our system to allow them to log onto the WIFI straight away?
    We can get users on with macs but have to type everything in manually and we are not always on site to help mac users get online.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you

    I have just had a look at the Ruckup web site, I know nothing about your setup but presume you are using the 'Zero-Connect' system of theirs. There seems little support information on the site without creating an account and logging in which I did not want to do. The specification says it supports Mac OS X and IOS, I would contact the support team at Ruckus, there may be a firmware update or a specific settings to allow OS X clients easy access.
