Urgent! Please help! Lost all my fonts and can't print!

Hi folks,
I have suddenly lost all my fonts from Illustrator (not from PhotoShop or other Adobe products) and now I can't print from Illustrator to any of my printers either. I'm on a windows machine, which I'm not too used to as I'm a mac user most of the time and I've tried to both repair and reinstall - neither of which worked - it reinstalled but has the same problems.
Any ideas folks?
Preferences were set to default when I re-installed illustrator and I'm on XP if that makes a difference.
Any helpers out there?
Thanks in advance.
Dara

The best technique we fid on the mac if you want to restore the settings when deleting corrupt preferences is to launch AI and use it after you have it cleaned up  or better after a fresh install. arrange all your workspaces and panels shortcuts etc. then copy the settings folder to a safe place and always use that after trashing the settings folder. No harm in giving yourself a fresh start.
One of the reason's for this is recently someone wrote that they had to trash the settings folder three times before they got things back to normal.
Reason for that is that computers often overwrite but do not completely erase what they overwrite and three times usually insures a good replacement of data. Also on a mac and I believe on a pc there is a similar file there is a file call com.adobe.illustrator.plist which can be corrupt as well also in the user preferences so you sometimes have to trash that as well.
Also sometimes it is a question of the cache files, settings, font cache and application support files that are corrupt singularly or together.
Also I am not certain that moving it to one location and back is a good idea on a pc it is fine on a Mac usually.
Also often the corruption is such we have been told by support to not only trash this folder but to empty the trash as well.
So that is what I know about this issue.

  • I have upgraded iphone ios 3.1 to ios 5.1 and have lost all my contacts and can not find them on my pc. Can anyone pleeeeese help me

    I have upgraded iphone ios 3.1 to ios 5.1 and have lost all my contacts and can not find them on my pc. Can anyone pleeeeese help me?

    If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted.  The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync.  You need to use different IDs.  You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps.  But use different icloud IDs.

  • Help!! Lost all my applications and can't find them

    Help lost all my applications!! Click on an app and all I get is a question mark come up. All my data is their but my application folder is empty. Checked to see if I have maybe dragged it to another folder and can't find it also checked trash. Tried to install using DVD but says disc not recognised

    You said; "Tried to install using DVD but says disc not recognised"
    Exactly what do you mean by that statement?
    When you say disc are you referring to the hard drive in your Mac or the DVD?
    If the DVD says it can't find the hard drive in your Mac then most likely your hard drive has died and must be replaced. I hope you have a backup.

    I have plugged my new Iphone 5 into a computer with itunes that had an iphone 4s registered with it. So when I plugged in my Iphone to the laptop I may have clicked something because I was looking to just add the music from the Itunes to my phone. I am a new iphone user and dont really know what I did and am seeking assitance because I have also now lost all my contacts (which have been synced entired to the laptop I lost all my original files and was synced the files from the other iphone4s users profile.) I have also lost the link to locate my personal hotspot when i entir the settings home page. I am wondering I have downgraded my phone or something. What can I do to get my personal hotspot back?

    Restore it from the last backup you made on YOUR computer or iCloud.

  • So basically, I lost all my data and can't find the most recent backup because my computer had to be reloaded after it crashed. Help?

    Can anyone help me out? My old iPod broke so I bought a new one and I tried to put all my old data on but it won't let me! I tried to restore it and the last backup it can find it today? Help me please!

    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.

  • HELP: Lost all my music and my ipod does not show up in I-Tunes.

    Okay, my Ipod was stuck on Do Not Disconnect. I rebooted it by hold menu and middle button. Well now the problem is that all my music is gone. I hooked it up to the computer so I could sync it again in itunes thinking that the music would reappear. But i can't do that cause my ipod isn't showing up in I-tunes. I double checked to make sure it's plugged up, but nothing? How do I get I-tunes and the computer to recogize my i-pod.
    PLEAS HELP

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
    Putting iPod into disk mode.
    Still no joy, see these.
    iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.
    Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod</font color</a>.
    iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.
    iPod does not appear in iTunes.
    Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported.

  • HELP!!!  I lost all my music and can't figure out how to get it back.

    I had iTunes downloaded on my computer.  Unfortunately I got a bug or virus that deleted everything including my iTunes.  So i got my computer fixed and downloaded iTunes again but then it told me my iPod was synced to another computer and then asked if I wanted to transfer and erase.  I'm thinking it's going to transfer what i already had....WRONG it just deleted everything!!!  How do I get that library back AND download it back on to my shuffle?

    If the lost music is no longer on your iPod, on your PC, or in another backup somewhere, you are out of luck.  You can download most iTunes purchases again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more information and assistance.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to redownload or rerip them from their original source.

  • Kinda urgent    please help pass strings to doubles and strings to ints

    like size as a string and then make the string size a doubleThink he means blank.
    Check the Wrapper classes (Double, Integer) in the api.
    parseInt() parseDouble() both take a string and return a primitive.
    String s = null;
    if(s == null) should do the trick!
