Missing Some Fonts Called For in Apple Pro Training Serries FCS 2 Book

I am currently working my way through Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Studio 2 by Mark Spencer and Jem Schofield in the Apple Pro Training Series. Twice I have encountered cases where I am unable to find the font called for in the book. One case was Helvetica neue (I substituted Helvetica) and the second instance in which the Herculanum font is called for. I am surprised that books in this series would use fonts that do not seem to be on my computer. I am using OS 10.4.10 with all updates and similarly for FCS 2. I feel I may be missing something here, i.e. perhaps the fonts really are somewhere on my system and are just not accessible to FCS 2. Is that possible? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hanumang and All,
Thank you for your help. Let me bring this to closure by explaining what I found on investigating this issue and what I did to resolve it and obtain the fonts.
On the basis of your confirmation that these fonts should have been on my iMac, I called Apple Support. I spent the usual hour on line with them and went through two support people only to learn that the only way to get these fonts back into my OS X Library/Fonts folder (without having a second Mac computer) was to reinstall the operating system. It is remarkable to me that one cannot simply get the fonts off the Apple Installation disk, but it cannot be done since they are installed as part of the OS X installation and are not in a separate directory or folder on the installation disk.
I set out to do an Archive and Install with Preserve User Settings carefully checked. About one third of the way through the Archive and Install process the process hung and failed to move forward for more than an hour. I finally ended the installation process and attempted to run it again which it would not allow me to do as the Archive and Install process was now grayed out. I had no choice but to run an Erase and Install process to get a clean version of OS X on my system.
Once I had the clean version of OS X on the system, I used Font Book to check for Helvetica neue and Herculanum fonts and they were now there. I then copied all of the fonts in Library/Fonts from this vrigin install of OS X to an external drive. I back up my iMac every night automatically using Retrospect so I was now able to do a full restore of my Mac HD using Retrospect. Of course, once I had done that the fonts were missing again, but I just copied all the fonts from the external HD copy into the Library Fonts folder on my Mac HD, and all was well -- some 7 hours after starting this process.
You know, as someone who has recently bought their first Mac computer in 24 years, I would have to say that I am very disappointed in certain aspects of OS X. It takes an excessively long time to reinstall OS X compared to Windows XP with which I am very familiar. The Archive and Install feature of OS X has not worked for me on the two occasions where I have tried to use it and I truly miss the REstore feature of Windows XP.
I love Apple Professional level software like FCS 2 and Aperture, but I am not a fan of OS X. My hope is that Leopard with Time Machine and other new features will address some of the problems with OS X.

Some fonts (Symbol, for ex.) do not render

When I set the font of some text to some fonts like Symbol, or Apple Symbols, for example, the text is not rendered using these fonts. Instead it looks like the default Helvetica font is used.
The Symbol and Apple Symbols fonts I have on my system are the default Apple-installed fonts (I can see that in Font book).
I have the same problem in Pages.
More generally, is there some issue in iWork that prevents the application from using certain fonts? How can I tell?
This is in Keynote 2.0.2 on Tiger 10.4.2.

I'm having a similar problem in Pages.
When I try to customize the bullets using other dingbat fonts (GoodDogBones, Charms BV, Eller, and so forth), the character that appears in the bullet box is rendered in a unicode font (Lucida Grande).
In other words, what I pasted, a coffee cup in Eller that appears when I type an "e," shows up in the bullet customizer as an "e" in Lucida Grande.
What I can't figure out is how to get these other dingbat fonts to show up in the Character Palette. I drag them to my "Favorites" in the Font dialog box, but nothing happen in the Character Palette. (All my fonts are in MacintoshHD/System/Library/Fonts so they're active for all users of the computer.)
So I guess my question is this: How do I add fonts to the Character Palette?!?

Any 'Power On' button for the Apple Pro keyboard?

Any 'Power On' button for the Apple Pro keyboard?
It is possible to boot the Mac mini without pressing its rear power button? There is a handy 'Power On' button for the Apple Keyboard named 'i-Cue' (see below), but it no longer works with the new Macs (G5 and Mactel).
A shame that Apple removed the power button of their keyboards years ago. So, what I am looking for is something similar to this, but working with the new Macs:
USB Boot Dongle (i-Cue) for Mac
Allows you to work with your G3 or G4 mini tower hidden out of the way
You can have your Mac under the desk, yet it can be easily turned on from the keyboard position. Simply clips on to the Apple Pro Keyboard
Includes 1.8m pass-through USB cable.

Thanks.

To do this, though, it would require that you just
switch off the power to the Mac rather than going
through it's shutdown procedure. Pulling the power on
a running computer may cause all sorts of problems
and should be avoided unless it's absolutely
necessary to do it.
I'd agree with that most certainly - though the old G4 would allow itself to be shut down and then have the remote power switch thrown. I've not had reason to test whether a mini would, or would simply immediately attempt a restart.
Thanks for jumping in though to make that point - it's crucial not to overlook the dangers of improper shutdowns.

You should contact Peachpit about this.

Not sure what this means. Do you mean you can't copy from the accompanying disc? In which case the disc might be defective and you should return it to the reseller. At least that's the usual procedure for this.

Anyone study Apple Pro Training Series SP 2 without Final Cut Pro app?

Hi Guys,
I have Soundtrack Pro 2. It came with the Logic Pro Studio bundle. I want to get the certification for SP 2. I just opened the SP 2 Apple Pro Training Series book and the first directions are to open +Final Cut Pro+ to convert the .fcp file in the lesson folder to a .stmp file to use in SP 2.
I don't have Final Cut Pro. Am I dead in the water? How does someone who got SP 2 via purchasing Logic Pro Studio follow this book, since Final Cut Pro doesn't come with the Logic bundle?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light!

I'm checking back in here and bumping this thread up hoping someone from Apple might throw in a reply here. I've spent the last few days on the net seeking out anyone else who ran into this problem and I've discovered there are quite a few others running into this issue. How is someone who purchased STP with Logic Studio supposed to get certified? Why doesn't Apple let people know about this before they purchase the product? If they weren't aware of it before (I've been told Apple has now been notified of the issue), why isn't Apple addressing this and providing a workaround?
Anyone from Apple out there?

Just to eliminate the possibility of a bad drive or wonky connection, try running a disk throughput test.
Do you have the AJA drive test app? If not, it can be found on their website under the Kona 3 tools and utilities (AJA System Test).
Download it and run it to test the throughput of the drive.
For an internal sata drive with a lot of free space, you should see read/write speeds well in excess of 80 MB/s.

Apple Pro Training Series

I'm looking to get some advanced training in FCP and the whole studio. I've seen the Apple Pro Training Series and I'm comparing them with looking at the books and DVD's that came with the Final Cut Studio. Is there a difference between the two?
Let's say I want to take Apple's Level 1 Pro Training exam...is there information in the Pro Series Books that I need for that exam? Or will I learn enough by doing the tutorials and reading the books that came in the box?
Thanks in advance,
-Benjamin

I'm looking to get some advanced training in FCP and
the whole studio. I've seen the Apple Pro Training
Series and I'm comparing them with looking at the
books and DVD's that came with the Final Cut Studio.
Is there a difference between the two?
What book are you comparing the FCS material to?
In case it's not clear, the tutorial material that comes with Final Cut Studio is available in book form (Apple Pro Training Series: Getting Started with Final Cut Studio)
Let's say I want to take Apple's Level 1 Pro Training
exam...is there information in the Pro Series Books
that I need for that exam? Or will I learn enough by
doing the tutorials and reading the books that came
in the box?
No, the materials in the box (and the aforementioned book) are not enough. (That is, if your knowledge of FCP begins and ends with that material)
Apple's Level 1 FCP exam is based - exactly, from what I hear - on the information and material presented in Diana Weyland's book (Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro 5).
The Level 2 exam, for instance, is based on Michael Wohl's book (Apple Pro Training Series: Advanced Editing Techniques in Final Cut Pro 5)
Hope that helps.

My Font Book is missing some fonts??

Hi,
I've upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. Tiger is backed up on a portable drive that is currently plugged into a USB port on my Mac.
The following has happened three.
I just opened a website and a window opeds (on the Mac not the website) telling me that Safari wants to use a certain font (in this case Garamond) that is on the Tiger Back up drive. I don't recall the name of the other two fonts.
Is there any particular reason why the Font Book on Leopard does not have these fonts?
Is there any reason why I shouldn't add them?
How do I do add them? Is it just cut and paste (I don't want to mess anything up)?
Thank you.

Just copy and paste to add.
Depends on how you upgraded as to what would have been copied where, and may explain why fonts are now missing.
Font book by default only installs fonts for you, but you may have changed it to install for all users, in which case it would copy to your main system folder and would explain why they are missing as you now have a new system folder. Nothing is carried over from old to new system folder when upgrading.
Just copy the missing fonts from the drive to your machine. Should just be a double click to install.

Griffin adaptor for old apple pro clear bubble speakers?

what is the griffin adaptor for using old apple pro clear bubble speakers?

It was actually the Griffin iFire that adapted the Apple Pro speakers to newer Macs:

Some games ask for our apple ID and password. Will it compromise our apple password?

To play some games installed from the app store, they ask for our apple ID and password. Will this compromised our appleID and password?

There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

Apple Pro Training Series Question

I'm working through the apple pro series book, for those of you who are familiar with it... and have come across a questions that I cannot figure out in the book. In chapter 8 it discusses how when you add video to the timeline that includes audio they are linked together and thus selecting either video or audio will in turn select the other (audio for video and visa versa). However, this is not working for me, when I select either video or audio in the timeline it only selects that specific clip. Do I not have a setting correct or is there a difference in updates now?

Would have been nice if the book would have been able to explain that point as easily as you TYVM Actually I probably overlooked it and with a book of 500 pages its a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. Thanks again

Missing some impulse resposes for Space Designer

I just realized that that the impulse respones for the "Warped effects" are missing. They are not located under the Library/Audio/Impulse responses/Apple folder where the others are.
Does anyone know how to get them?
I'm on Logic Pro 9.1.1
Thanks Morten

In the folder you describe, I have 4 folders, Large, Medium, Small, and Surround Spaces. In each of those folders is another folder for "Warped." Do you not have that?
I also found an Impulse Response folder in Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro. You could look there or see if there's one in the Logic folder. Nothing that was marked "Warped", but there were some of the same responses in there.

Hey, I have $2350-2400 and I want some proper guidance for the macbook pro

HEY!!!
Guys I will try to make this as easy as possible!
First let me tell you I am 15, I love graphics, music and literature and I have no credit card, my iTunes account has no money, I'm using an account that doesn't require credit cards! So (ugh) I buy all the free apps
Anyway
Dad gave me $2400 to buy a macbook pro and keep the change but since I live in Italy, I have to convert them to Euros.
$2400-1821 EUR
So I came up with 2 conclusions and I just want some opinions on which is the smarter decision.
Well apparently there are 4 types of laptops I can get right now from the macs.....
to make this as simple and as easy as possible (and to show off my ICT skills ) I made a table which includes
1) the laptop mentioned
2) the price in dollars (which I got directly from the apple store in the US)
3) the price in euros (which I got directly from the apple store in Europe)
Macbook Pro Kind
Price in dollars
Price in EUR
13-inch: 2.5GHz
$1119.00
1249.00 EUR
13-inch: 2.9GHz
$1499.00
1549.00 EUR
13-inch: 2.5GHz with Retina Display
$1499.00
1549.00 EUR
13-inch: 2.6GHz with Retina Display
$1699.00
1749.00 EUR
But you can install somethings on to your laptop right there in the shop and I wanted two things,
1) pages: I thought would help with my writing because I write poems, novels, stories, etc
2) numbers: this program just deals with spreadsheets and charts and just the mathematical area and thought that this would help when doing A levels and GCSE math
3)keynote: This is basically like power point and it just makes presentations.
each of these programs are 18 EUR
One more thing, since I am planning on using this laptop for several years, I change changing countries often and so the laptop can come with an adapter that works in both European and American countries
But thats 80 EUR
The laptop (the edition i want) is 1749 EUR
that means with all these additional stuff
I calculated it on the apple store
1749.00 EUR + 18 EUR + 18 EUR+ 18 EUR 80 EUR = 1883.01 EUR
If we were in america then according to the website's store
$1699 + $19.99 + $19.99 + $19.99 + $79.00= $1847.96
I'd be buying the SAME amount of things in the States for $1847.96 and I'd have 552 dollars change but in Italy everything would cost 1883.01 EUR which is the equivalent of $2481.61 which is more expensive than the US!
BUT
You have to consider the fact that this is with all the additional costs
The additional things I thought I'd need
If I said "no just buy the laptop"
then the correct price in dollars is $1699
the correct price in euros would be 1749 EUR
the laptop only. No extra features.
1749 EUR in Dollars would be $2305!
Exactly $2305!
That means I would only have had 95 dollars difference.
Anyway the bottom line is all these additional things that I was talking about, the softwares and everything, they're going to help me in the near future, not RIGHT now.
So what I can do is just buy the laptop and then as I progress in to year eleven, slowly by slowly, I can start buying the softwares.
I'm sorry I'm unburdening ALL these different information on you, but I just wanted to approach this from as many angles and be as aware of all the variables as possible.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(THIS IS THE CONCLUSION)
OPTION ONE
Buy the 13-inch: 2.6GHz with Retina Display Macbook Pro for 1749.00 EUR including all the additional features (the three softwares and the adapter which together have the total value of 134 EUR)
Therefore the total amount of money we'd be spending is
1883.01 EUR
That means the total cost of everything would be $2481.62 and I'd get no difference
OPTION TWO
Buy the 13-inch: 2.6GHz with Retina Display Macbook Pro for 1749.00 EUR and then when I am 16 or 18 I buy these softwares with a credit card and apply them for my A levels later.
That means the total amount we'll be spending is
1749.00 EUR
Which is $2305
I will have $95 (72 EUR) pocket money.
(BY THE WAY, MY PARENTS WORK FOR THE UNITED NATIONS AND DON'T PAY VAT OR SOMETHING AND SO WE KIND OF SOMEHOW GET A 20% DISCOUNT SO THE PRICES WILL BE A BIT OFF AND CHEAPER.... I JUST CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO DO ALL OF THE CALCULATIONS BUT YEAH.....................)
Thanks for reading
Please reply ASAP I'm buying the mac extremley soon.....

Never heard of .MOD format, but generally VLC player will play most any format.
It's free, open source so no harm in trying:
