Adobe CS5 & Font Book not playing well together

So I've got an Intel Mac Mini that developed this strange little glitch sometime last week. It seems that when I'm using Illustrator or Photoshop and I scroll through my available fonts, ALL 600+ of my fonts are on. When I go to Font Book to troubleshoot the situation, I see that the majority of them aren't activated (which is how it should be). I tried deleting Adobe & Font Book preference files but it didn't remedy the condition. Any one else with a similar problem or a possible solution?
+(I'm guessing this happened after an Apple software update last week; I've had them activate all of my fonts before, but they showed up as activated in Font Book.)+

Peruse Font Management in OS X and if you want to reset the font databases properly, boot into safe mode and then reboot normally. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 If you're still having issues, contact Adobe and ascertain why their font management's mucked up.

Adobe 8.1.2 & VS2005 asp not playing well together

I have a web application with an Adobe Acrobat 7 pdf form which is processed by a VB asp page that was working well yesterday.
Today I had to make a change on the pdf form and saved it in AA 8.1.2 (which increased the filesize from 140kb to 340kb - what's with that?). Now when I submit the form my asp page errors out with a "A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client..." message.
We had issues in the past when moving from AA6 to AA7 so I suspect the Adobe folks made some more unwelcome changes to v8.1.2. Have any of you run into this problem and what did you do to correct? Thanks for your help.

First, try a Save As, not a save.

PS4 and Cintiq not playing well together

This problem relates to the Cintiq 21 UX & Photoshop CS4 ONLY!
I have a dual monitor setup: Cintiq 21 & NEC 19 LCD Opticlear Miltisync 90GX2. Both monitors are driven by separate ATI Radeon HD2600XT cards with 512MB video RAM. The system CPU is an AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual core 6000+ chip. I have loaded what I believe to be the most current drivers from this web site.
Start PS4 on the Cintiq side; load ANY image; get image with 6 rectangles overlaid and each rectangle is divided diagonally in half from URHC to LLHC. Lower half is good image; upper hald is either a solid color, grossly pixellated, or gibberish. Drag the image a bit and as long as it is being dragged it is a perfect image; stop dragging and it returns to the image with 6 rectangles. Drag across to the NEC monitor and image is sharp and clear while dragging but goes transparent upon release of mouse.
Start PS4 on the NEC side and all is as advertised. Drag only the image over to Cintiq and it is still good. Now drag PS4 over to the Cintiq side and all is still good. Open another image on the Cintiq side and problem repeats.
This problem is fully repeatable, does not happen with any other software, and renders PS4 virtually useless. PS3 works as advertised and always has. I've done 4 installs of CS4 to see if it was the problem including a thorough registry cleaning between installs. Situation is constant across installs. Oddly, Bridge does not exhibit the problem. I'm sending to Wacom as well. I provided 2 jpgs of what the images look like.
Any and all advice greatly appreciated
dave

Both monitors use the DVI connection on the respective cards, so no,
not at this time. Perhaps if I can locate an adapter I may be able to do
so. However, Photoshop CS3 has absolutely no problems with this set up
nor does Bridge CS4, only Photoshop. As Bridge loads with Photoshop and
is not a separate install, I'm thinking that while it could have
something to do with the cards/driver, there must be something more.
However, I've been wrong before . . . . .

After Effects CC and Windows 8 not playing well together. How can I fix this?

I thought the problem was a specific project file, but then it happened during another, and then another that I was building without any funky assets. After Effects suddenly ceases to respond, it flickers uncontrollably while Windows 8 Explorer becomes semi-unresponsive as well. When AE becomes responsive again, the same thing happens when I go to make another edit or two.
Troubleshooting: What I noticed is when I go to the Task Manager to kill Explorer, AE responds again. Until I go to make another few edits at least, where it then starts to flicker uncontrollably again. Does anybody else have this problem? This is really putting a kink in my workflow.

Adobe X Pro does not play well with Firefox 12.0

Using Firefox 12.0 and up to date version of Acrobat X Pro -- no Adobe toolbar but listed in plugins. Work around using print Adobe Pdf consistently hangs or crashes.

Because of the way Moxilla implements add-ons you have to add the Acrobat button to the toolbar in Firefox yourself.
Right-click the toolbar, choose Customize, and drag in the button - it's called "Convert" and has the Acrobat icon.

RDP and Java not playing well together

I have a Windows 8.1 Pro machine set up for RDP that connects to a field device network. The field network is not accessible from the Internet, so the only method I have to connect to the field devices is RDP through the machine. The devices use
Java for their GUI. When I log onto one of the devices in the field via RDP, the amount of memory Java uses goes up and stays up. Every time I log onto a field device, the memory usage goes up and stays up to the point if I hit 25 or so field devices, I get
an Out of Memory error and Java shuts down the main application running on the machine. However, if I log onto the devices directly from the machine, not using RDP, the amount of memory Java uses doesn't go up. The machine has 6Gb of RAM, rebooting it is the
only way to clear out the memory, which gets it back down to a more normal 14%.
Any ideas?

Hi,
What is the result if we connect to a normal Windows system via RDP? We should first find out whether this is a RDP side issue or a JAVA issue.
And for high memory issue, we have a tool named RAMMap to view the detailed memory usage

Safari and 1passwords are not playing well together since updates??

Safari will not allow me to enter websites with 1passwords. When I input the password it reverts back to enter you pasword. I have updated to all of the newest versions and Safari is still not working. I am having no issues with Firefox. Been exchanging emails with Agilebits and have sent them two diagnostic reports, still no one has an answer?? Can anyone help?

Some people are having some problems although some fixed it with the following solution.
Go here https://agilebits.com/extensions/mac/index.html
Check the checkbox "Allow beta extensions"
and download the recent version of 1password for Safari.
Clean Up & Reset Safari by doing the following:
Many times corrupt application resources are the reason for an application's slow performance. Safari has a variety of these, and Apple has conveniently enabled quick resetting of these resources through the "Reset Safari..." option in the "Safari" menu. Despite this, some people may wish to still reset Safari's resources manually. To do this, Quit Safati and locate and remove the files in the following folders:
/username/Library/Cookies/
/username/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/
/username/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/
Then remove the following from the /username/Library/Safari/ folder:
Downloads.plist
Form Values
History.plist
HistoryIndex.sk
LastSession.plist
LocalStorage (folder)
TopSites.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Delete caches
Safari enables you to remove its cache from the "Reset Safari" option; however, you can use a third-party cache cleaning utility built for your operating system to remove all system caches to clear any faults with them that might be affecting Safari. Several of these utilities are: OnyX
Get Onyx at: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx
After all of this open Safari

.Mac and Mail not playing well together

I am not able to use the .Mac account after someone else tried mailing themselves an email with many images from my computer. The message was too big to send and I could have done it another way. In any case, when I log into Mail the .Mac account hangs (spinning circle forever). When I iqut the program Mail either crashes or gives me the following message.
"Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online.
Additional information: Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"
How do I stop whatever it is doing and make it so I can use the account again?

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm getting the same error with a local IMAP account, so it's not just .Mac that's having trouble.

SwingWorker and Action - not playing well together

I have a long running task. I also like using AbstractAction. But since these are both classes, and Java won't let you extend more than a single class, I figured I'd build a new abstract "SwingAction" class. This extends SwingWorker and implements Action. I leave the SwingWorker classes out and leave the actionPerformed method from Action out. Here's what I'm left with:
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;
import java.util.HashMap;
import javax.swing.Action;
import javax.swing.event.SwingPropertyChangeSupport;
import org.geotools.gui.swing.worker.SwingWorker;
public abstract class SwingAction extends SwingWorker implements Action {
     private HashMap map = new HashMap();
     private boolean enabled = true;
     private SwingPropertyChangeSupport changer = new SwingPropertyChangeSupport(this);
     public Object getValue(String key) {
          return map.get(key);
     public void putValue(String key, Object value) {
          if (value!=null){
               Object o = map.get(key);
               if (o==null || !o.equals(value)){
                    map.put(key, value);
                    changer.firePropertyChange(key, o, value);
     public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
          if (enabled!=this.enabled){
               this.enabled=enabled;
               changer.firePropertyChange("enabled", new Boolean(!enabled), new Boolean(enabled));
     public boolean isEnabled() {
          return enabled;
     public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          changer.addPropertyChangeListener(listener);
     public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          changer.removePropertyChangeListener(listener);
}I've implemented this in a class and it works great - the first time! It seems like once I hit "start", I'm not able to call it again. I've tried calling interrupt in the finished method, but that has no affect.
I'm including the class that implements SwingAction - you'll need to change it to do something else and hook it up to a button to try it out, but if you have any idea why it's failing to run a second time, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
P.S. Here's the class that implements SwingAction:
import java.awt.Cursor;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class EnlargeImageAction extends SwingAction {
     private WMSViewer wmsViewer;
     private JLabel mapImage;
     private Cursor cursor;
     public EnlargeImageAction(WMSViewer wmsViewer, JLabel mapImage){
          this.wmsViewer=wmsViewer;
          this.mapImage = mapImage;
     public Object construct() {
          System.out.println("Calling action");
          return wmsViewer.getEnlargedImage();
     public void finished() {
          mapImage.setIcon((ImageIcon)get());
          mapImage.setEnabled(true);
          wmsViewer.setCursor(cursor);
          this.setEnabled(true);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          mapImage.setEnabled(false);
          cursor = wmsViewer.getCursor();
          wmsViewer.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
          this.setEnabled(false);
          start();
}

If you want to reuse it after its run() method returned, you should re-instantiate it.

Ipod and ipad do not play well together with photo cache

Running windows 7 on an hp laptop. Ipod classic, original ipad. Itunes 11.3.1.2. No cloud involvement.
Each time I change between syncing my pad or pod, itunes seems to need to rebuild the photo cache. Nothing lost except about 10 to 15 minutes while all this is done and my entire photo library is copied to the device. Has anyone else seen this? any way to resolve it? Or perhaps have them each create their own cache directory?
Thanks!

LeePenn
Maybe give this a read. You might have a conflict between the OS level commands and something in Photoshops keyboard commands. Just a thought.

Suggestions? DVDSP4 and LaCie d2 not playing well together

Trying to burn dvd from SP4 to new LaCie d2 DVD external drive. I keep getting error message "#6" indicating that there's a problem with the power/ or bus reset.
I can burn an image from disk utilities, so I know that the Mac OS (10.4.2) can talk to this drive; I can also burn from Toast.
Neither LaCie nor Apple support knows for sure what's up. Recommendations?
Thanx!

Hi John,
I have a very similar setup. And found that connecting the external drive through the firewire interface proved to be a more robust solution than via usb.
Otherwise our external La Cie burner runs faultlessly on a wide variety of host machines.

Safari & CBS Sports not playing well together

Logging on to my CBS (fantasy football) home page works just fine; but when I attempt to the page to 'rank' my players strange things happens (see screen shot below). Is there a plug-in, or Safari workaround; or do I have to switch back to Firefox again? Thanks in advance for ANY help provided.
Earl
Opps - unable to attach screenshot. Sor-ry. What happens is that the page gets twice as wide requiring that I scroll right and left to see the entire screen. Plus, the entire length of the left side of the page has rows and rows of what should be a single "cbsSports" hyperlink button.

Hope you are still lookng. Earl, how did you fix the problem. I have the same thing happening. I was going to download firefox, but they charge now? If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated...

Can I get an older release of Firefox? 36.0 does not play well with Windows 7.

Firefox 36.0.4 does not play well with Windows 7. If it opens at all, it freezes within a minute so the screen goes pale and I get the classic spinning circle of death. Then the header says (not responding).
Ideally I would like to drop back to version 32 or 33, but 34 and 35 had fewer problems.
Can I find older versions anywhere?

You can [[Install an older version of Firefox]] any time. But which will cause significant security risk. So If you can't use the latest version of Firefox, we recommend that you use the latest version of another browser.
If the latest version of Firefox is causing problems for you or you just don't like something about it, please give us feedback about it here:
[https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/ Submit your feedback and suggestions about Firefox]
Anyway head for the ftp for older version but please be careful with these: ftp://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Font Book not reading .pfm fonts

I have some .pfm PC Type 1 fonts I need to use but Font Book does not recognize them. Can they be converted to another format Font Book can read? Or do I have to repurchase the fonts?

Kurt Lang wrote:
PC Type 1 PostScripts have never been able to be used on the Mac. Same is true trying to use a Mac Type 1 PS font on the PC. You have a few options.
1) The Adobe applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), starting with the CS2 suite, can indeed read these fonts. Place them in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/ folder and you will be able to use Windows Type 1 PostScript fonts with the Adobe programs. This is the ONLY place this will work. All other Mac applications won't have a clue what to do with the paired .pfb and .pfm files.
2) Convert them. One of the nicest is TransType. The pro version is more, but don't bother with the light version since it can't save OpenType format. Unless back out to Mac Type 1 PS is fine for you.
3) A free method is to install Font Forge. This is an open source project. I haven't tried it myself, but others here say it works well. It's a full font editor such as FontLab or Fontographer. I would imagine you could save fonts out as Mac Type 1 PostScript or OpenType, but I can't be sure.
The Adobe applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), starting with the CS2 suite, can indeed read these fonts. Place them in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/
Just want to clarify that with CS4 the directory path /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/ does not exist and I am still looking for a solution.
