Text becomes garbled when sequences transferred to new computer

I transferred a bunch of sequences to my editor's computer. they look fine -- except the text (and there is a lot of it) moved, grew exponentially bigger, and in general was garbled.
This seems to happen every time I open a sequence in final cut on someone else's computer. Note: sequence settings are the same on his computer as on mine.

best guess off the bat is that you are using a font on your computer that is not available on these other computers ... would that explain any or all of the problem? are the versions of OS X and FCP the same between these different Macs? are you copying project files or using Export and Import of XML's? if not, you might want to try that for starters. what troubleshooting steps have you taken already?

    I had an HP laptop with Itunes on it and kept my library on an external hard drive. I had a 160gb classic Ipod.
    My computer died and i am buying a new one (mac is out of budget)
    When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
    I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
    What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
    Thanks in advance

  • HT5577 When I bought a new computer with Windows8.1, iTunes wouldn't accept my old ID and password, so I set up a new ID and password.  Now I can't locate or sync my old library of music onto my iPOD.  Any ideas?

    when I bought a new computer with Windows8.1, iTunes wouldn't accept my old ID and password.  After entering a new ID and password I got in, but now I can't sync the music that was in my original library.  When I try to sync a message says that music will be removed from "other" libraries, so I know they're out there somewhere.  Just can't get to them.  Any ideas?

    - Is the computer authorized for the iTunes account(s) used on the iPod?
    - Are you syncing or manually managing music?
    - In iTunes if you go to Preferences and then go to the Devices tab, what date is show for the iPod backup? Is if before you switched computers?
    - Your iPod sees the new computer as a new library/computer and you can only sync to one library.  You need to restore you iPod from a backup.  If that bacup is hosw in Preferences, restore from that backup. 
    - If the backup is after you switched computers, you have two options:
    --- Try to make a backup by right clicking on the iPd under Devices in iTunes and selecting backup.
    --- If you can't make a backu, can you get one from the backup of your old computer.  It is located here and yu may have to have show hidden files turned on.

    That will take ages, buy an external drive (or a large enough flash drive) and copy it there, do it soon.

    JustMeAndYou,
    For what it's worth ...
    Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
    That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:

    Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my iTunes library. Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer? It was the only computer authorized to play library.

    My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my saved iTunes library from it. That was the only computer authorized to play library. I do not have an iPod or iPhone with any of that library (which has over $2K in music purchases & over 5K in songs I ripped). Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer?

    You should be able to access your past iTunes purchases. You'll need to re-rip your CDs See: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • Can you still access Adobe PDF SAVED FILES WHEN YOU GET A NEW COMPUTER

    Can you still access Adobe PDF SAVED FILES WHEN YOU GET A NEW COMPUTER ? Do you loose the files you have saved on you old computer when you get another computer?

    I may not be clear on what you are asking here but I'll try an answer anyway since that's the type of guy I am.
    If you have PDF files on your old computer, you will need to transfer them to your new computer. You can use a flash drive or CD if needed.
    But again, I think I'm not getting what you are really wanting to know. If I'm not, can you give us some more details?

    If you have exceeded your allowance of 5 machines then Apple will not allow you to authorise additional Computers. If you still have access to your old toshiba fire it up de-authorise it and then try again with the new computer.
    While this won't help if you are having password problems, I did want to point out that you do not need to access old machines to de-authorize them. Once you are signed in at the iTunes store, access "my account" by clicking on your username in the top navigation bar. Then "manage devices".  You can remove any old machines that way.

    Do you have the iCloud set up?  If you don't you need to buy a third party software that will do it for you when you plug your phone into the new computer.  You can google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer.  You have to pay for the software but it's really a life saver and you get free updates for life.  It'll save you a lot of pain and suffering in the future.  I've used it many times.

  • Can I install again my new software after 2-3 months when I buy a new Computer?Thank you

    Can I install again my new software after 2-3 months when I buy a new Computer?Thank you

    Yes.  Also, you are allowed to have the software installed and active on two machines, so if you like you can continue to have it on the original machine.  If you want to remove it from the original machine be sure to deactivate it first.

  • Previously purchased songs interrupted when transferring to new computer and showing available in iTunes store

    New computer purchased, Transferred purchased songs from iTunes to library. 5 were interrupted and will  not transfer over.  All songs are showing available in iTunes store.  How do I fix?

    How are they showing in the Music part of your iTunes library ? If they are greyed out and you can't delete them from there then do you have a downward pointing arrow at the top right of the iTunes screen next to the search field e.g.
    If you do then click on that and you should get a popup window, can you resume their download or delete them from that window ? If you can delete them they should then show as available for downloading via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading
