Anyone found solution to 10.5.2 upgrade and font problem?

I just upgraded to 10.5.2 and I'm having the same problem with fonts "disappearing." One in particular, ITC Zapf Dingbats--a standard font in use by graphics professionals everywhere. I'm using Quark 6.5.2.
Unfortunately, I upgraded to 10.5.2 at home and at work (MacPro work, iMac G5 home). Same problem now exists at both places. This is happening for me in Quark. I haven't tested other programs because I'm on a deadline.
I've cleaned disk caches, run Font Doctor, reinstalled original font(s), yes--restarting each time after doing a single change--checked forums, etc., upgraded font software, taken font software off (in case there was a conflict), reimported fonts into Font Book. You name it, I've tried it.
Only thing I ran across that might point the way to a solution is that the same thing happened with fonts on upgrade 10.3.
Because of deadlines, I ended up changing all of the ITC Zapf Dingbat fonts in a 60-page document to the body copy and used an old-fashioned bullet. It is not the optimal typographic solution, but the only one I could come up with to meet this deadline.
This is a huge problem for me as I haven't found a solution anywhere. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. I'm an experienced Mac User (since 1985), but I'm at my wit's end on what to try. And yes, I've even zapped the PRAM.
Thanks,

  • Classic won't start, can't upgrade, and other problems...

    There's something not quite right with my Mac, and I can't quite pinpoint it. Because of this, I'm not even certain I'm posting this in the right forum! Here's the situation:
    I have a PowerMac G4, upgraded with a an extra hard drive, an ATI Radeon Pro graphics card, a Sonnet Duet G4 Dual 1.8GHz processor, and (as of today, prior to this 10.4.7) am running OSX 10.4.8.
    When I got the machine, it came with OS 9.1 installed. I later upgraded to 9.2.2, and then eventually to OSX. My Classic system folder stayed at 9.2.2
    About 10 days ago I installed the Sonnet processor upgrade. In order to do so, I had to rejig my system a bit, as the installer for the upgrade only works in 9.2 and not Classic (yeah, bad call on Sonnet's part).
    I partitioned my Back-Up drive, and installed 9.2 on it, installed the software for the processor, and then the processor itself. After checking everything worked, I then unpartitioned my Back-Up drive and removed OS9.2.
    Although the processor works fine, and has doubled the speed of most tasks, ever since it was installed, I have been prone to crashes. Most often when working with large files in various applications such as Photoshop.
    Also, Classic won't start now. I hardly ever use Classic these days, only for one or two tiny programs I could live without, but the fact that it refuses to start is niggling me. I reinstalled OS9.1 from my original disk, and now I can't upgrade to 9.2: all that happens is I get a message saying that I have 9.1 and that it is recommended I upgrade to 9.2! But Classic won't open, so I can't upgrade to 9.2.
    The next thing that's started happening is that my broadband connection keeps dropping. This never happened before. This is happening so frequently it's really annoying; the only thing that cures it is a restart, but restarting 10 times a day isn't funny. I'm using an Alcatel Speedtouch ADSL modem. This has worked fine for over a year.
    Yesterday I tried setting up a wireless connection with a Belkin router, replacing my USB modem, so my wife can use her Windows laptop to surf from the same broadband connection (my Mac doesn't need to be wireless enabled itself). But this hasn't worked, even though we followed the instruction manual exactly. I suspect that the reason this hasn't worked was because of the underlying problem on my Mac, whatever it is. I've gone back to using the Speedtouch modem to connect to the internet for now.
    I've just today done a complete system reinstall of OSX 10.4, and downloaded the upgrade to 10.4.8, in an effort to solve this. Unfortunately, my Mac still seems to be in the same state and it hasn't solved anything. Classic still won't open, the connection still keeps dropping, and I'm almost at the point of kicking the **** thing through a window! Please, has anyone got any bright ideas? I don't know where to start....
    G4 Digital Audio   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi, thanks for responding.
    I've made a couple of changes, double-checked everything, and I have to say that now 10.4.8 has been on my machine for a few days, it's a lot more stable. No crashes. Maybe it just needed to "settle in", ha ha. I also got a router and went wireless, something I needed to do so my wife could use her laptop to get online. This seems to have solved the connection dropping.
    So the only thing left is not being able to open Classic. I think maybe you're right, and the new processor doesn't like Classic. But, to tell the truth, I hardly ever use Classic anymore, and I can live without it. So I think I'll leave everything as it is for now, unless something major happens. I spent nearly £500 on the processor upgrade, and it has doubled the speed of my Mac: I really don't want to have to take it out:-)

  • Has anyone found solutions in LR5.2 to slideshow issues., i.e. bad color, corrupted images, etc?

    I am having major issues with LR5.2... first, the slideshow stopped working, though in LR 4 it worked, and still works, fine. Issues are that most of the time the slideshow would not start when "play" is started.  When it does start, images are totally distorted and do not playback correctly.  I spent two hours on with help desk, and they sent me 5 links to try, including deleting the preference files.  Did not help.  The only think I have not tried is re-installing the program, which is next.  I am leary because I have collections that I fear may be lost, though I know the catalog will be safe.  Can anyone shed some light on this disaster?

    Slideshow in Lr5 does not work well enough for me to use - I have found no solution other than "don't use it".
    Either export a slideshow from Lr, export (or publish) photos from Lr and feed them to a 3rd party slideshow app, or use a plugin like ShowBiz.
    That's all I can think of..

  • Found Solution to 2 months of reboots and non-POST may help others

    This may be a bit of a read but here's my story.
    I've had this Neo Platinum with a a64 2800+ for close to a year now, and 2 months ago was the first of what i thought was "buy a new system" signs. Specs are in sig.
    i've had this machine overclocked 267 HTx3 x9 multiplier 166 mem 3-3-3-8 1T = 2.4GHz All stock voltages since the first week i owned this rig (self built) and only two months ago did these problems start.  I notice the first weird thing about 4 months ago but everythign was running stable so i just pawned it off to nothing, i was cleaning my tower out one day and noticed that the uv reactive blue ATX header in my motherboard was BROWN!.. so i pulled out the header and took a closer look.  The 3.3V (Orange) lines on the top (orientation installed in board) had gotten soo hot they had burned the plastic to a dark brown.. now i thought first off wow that got pretty hot heheh but checked my voltages in core cell and everything seemed fine.
    Ok jump to two months ago.. started having reboots maybe once a week.. gaming usually, that went on for a couple weeks.. then it started every day, then every half day, then every hour etc... it got to the point where it would power on from cold.. and power off a second later.. no bios, no beeps nothin.  So of course i ripped the board, cpu, ram, and psu out of the case and tried it barebones. After a week of fiddling with it.. (tried different ram (known to be memtest stable), psu (enermax 430W) and vid card) to no avail.. so i let it sit for a few days off.. came back and tried it again.. oh looky.. it posted... went into  bios checked some stuff and F10 reboot... no post.. i thought ?! trying to determine if you've got bad ram, psu mobo or cpu without good alternatives to test sucks... heh so i'm thinkin it must be ram.. after a couple hours i thought hey i should see if i get post error beeps with no ram in it.. tried that.. huh... no post.. no beep nothing... reset.. BEEP.. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (apparently it hung there   so i'm like will it's not a ram problem hahah.. so then i'm thinkin ok it's PSU or CPU or MOBO then. stuck what i had taken out back together (still outside case)
    i cleared CMOS.. oh looky it posted ( i could do this over andover all day.. it would only post after clear cmos) so i'm thinkin.. ok after you clear cmos this board runs at a really slow cpu ram speed just to get goin... so i get into health monitoring.. and looky here... 3.3V reads 2.89V..... that's not right. So i stick in my other original PSU (from sig) and it was a little better 2.98 sometimes touching over 3V.. still not right.
    I eventually got it to work at 200 HTx3 RAM@166 x9 mulitplier.. hey it got me in to play NFSU2 (i refuse to use my celeron 3.6G for that.. chop chop chop)
    this ran for a while.. then same problems came back.. no post no nothin but on off on off.. messed around with it for a bit and suddenly.. bang! everything went like a dream.. so i started slowly taking my settings back to normal.. worked like a dream... went back to my overclocked settings.. worked like a charm.. i'm sittin there not knowing wether to throw the damned thing out the window or cry in happiness it's workin hahah.. all this time my 3.3V was still under 3V in corecell.
    ok time for what i found that really fixed er up.. i went to my buds today (network admin, oh btw i've been a pc tech for 14 years.. and i will NEVER forget this little trick, i'm amazed how much i still learn everyday.. even after 14 years of crap (mostly micro$oft
    So out of the blue he says... hey.. i wonder if that ATX connector got that hot, that maybe the metal has degraded somewhat on those pins in the header... i slapped my forehead and kicked myself in the ass hehe never even crossed my mind.  So we get out the precision screwdrivers and gently give all 4 sides of the 3 pins a good scrape down.  Plug in.. goto system monitor.. BAM!!! 3.2v i was still shaking my head at this point that after 2 months of pissin with this thing that's all it was..
    Figured i'd better make sure.. plug another psu in.. 3.2V i'm like geezus.. SOOOO NOW i'm stuck with wondering.. what the hell made my mobo draw THAT much current that it almost melted the ATX header.. and on the 3.3V rail too.  i wouldn't think that just overclocking would do that.. especially when i'm using default voltages across the board.. for those who are wondering my temps are 35 idle (remember speedfan STOPS my cpu fan) and 52 full prime95 load (fan 100%) CnQ is enabled
    I'd love to see someone from MSI explain all the power issues with this board (keyboard issues, USB issues, Burnt ATX header issues ETC. heh)
    I guess now that my system is runnin like a dream.. i'll have to test my original PSu (aerocool) on my celery and see if the 3.3 rail is pooched or not.
    Thought i might be able to help someone sidestep the grief ... oh the 2 months of grief that i went through
    Any questions on other issues i'm happy to answer as well
    Sig Addition:  I refuse to RMA ANYTHING.. unless it's got blown caps

    Wow nice fix... I dont think I would have ended up finding out what happened, good job

  • Jdeveloper upgrade and datasource problem

    Hi,
    I upgraded my jeveloper to
    Oracle IDE     10.1.2.17.84
    java.version     1.4.2_04
    and all the applications that use data source do not run anymore. When the application connects to the database, the following error message is generated.
    java.lang.RuntimeException: oracle.i18n.util.builder.UnicodeMapChar
    All the applications are simple and don't use any structs or BC4J components.
    Thanks!

    I was getting a similar error while running JDev10 and OC4J
    (oracle.i18n.util.builder.UnicodeMapChar at oracle.i18n.util.ConverterArchive.readObj ConverterArchive.java:323)
    I tried resolving it using various Oracle Drivers , and various Classes within the drivers , but always the same error).
    The only solution that worked was moving from OC4J to iAS - the code worked without any further changes.

  • 10.3.9 upgrade and printer problem

    As a house cleaning initiative I decided th upgrade the venerable "ruby iMac" (slot-loading, CRT, circa 2000) from OS 9.0 to 10.3 because I had a spare license & full retail CD. Took a while because I had to do upgrades to do upgrades to do the upgrades needed to install 10.3, but all went surprisingly smooth and all the files I needed were easy to find (try that with a Dell...) and all is working EXCEPT I can't get the iMac to recognize the HP3390 all-in-one printer that sits on the home LAN.
    Add A Printer comes up but the printer isn't displayed in the possible choices. I can see other computers on the network from the iMac so I know basic networking is working. The HP printer installer is at best b**y but runs and terminates apparently normally with no errors. I only created one Admin user in the iMac knowing that multiple user can sometimes cause problems for substandard installers.
    Anyone have any hints or what to try next?
    Thanks,

    On the Add-a-Printer pane, the top box is the protocol choice. Mine defaults to Appletalk, but there are six other possibilities and I have several AppleTalk printers so I don't know if that is the default.
    Unless you know it is an AppleTalk-capable printer, the best choice by far is Rendezvous/Bonjour. Then wait a quarter minute and see if it can find any printers using that protocol.
    hp web site says that 3990 is not enough to identify a specific product.

  • Windows 8.1 upgrade and printing problema

    I recently upgraded my to windows 8 to 8.1 now when I print to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 it intermittantly leaves text out. 
    An example I can print a school test and it might print the some questions and some answer choices or omit the question but print the answer choices or only part of a question. It isn't consistant about what doesn't print or where it prints. My husband has windows vista and has not encountered any problems, so I'm thinking it is from the windows upgrade. Any thoughts.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi jojomulherin,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I read your post and see that since upgrading to Window 8.1 the full text document isn't printing.
    I will be happy to help you.
    If you haven't already, I would uninstall and reinstall the printer software which should resolve this issue.
    Uninstalling HP Printer Drivers in Windows 8.

  • Has anyone downloaded the new OS X 10.9 and had problems?

    After downloading the new version, I recieved a message saying it can't update imovie due to the video card.

    Actually, that's correct.  "Natural" is the opposite of the "normal" scrolling that you would be accustomed to, so it's working just as it should.  To get "normal" scrolling back, just uncheck the "scroll direction: natural" checkbox and you should be good.
    Personally, I like to have it both ways.  The system settings are global and affect all mousing peripherals.  I used a menubar app called Scroll Reverser.  This allows me to, simultaneously, use the "natural" scrolling with my trackpad (which I've grown to like) and "normal" scrolling with my mouse.

    I have the same problem, but don't expect Apple to help! I rang their help line and explained the situation and that the same experience is reported all over their forum and they would not assist unless I paid for a one year help subsciption.
    This company has lost the plot! They create software that universally will not work then expect customers to pay to have it fixed. Technically I should walk straight into the nearest apple shop and ask for a refund, as the device is no longer fit for purpose!
    Congratulations Apple for the best ant-promotional App on the market and your astounding lack of service ethos.

  • Has anyone found a quick, permanent solution to the missing iTunes.msi file. It's very frustrating that I can't uninstall or reinstall. I have a new iphone and I'm dead in the water:)

    Has anyone found a quick, permanent solution to the missing iTunes.msi File? I have tried many times to upgrade both itune and quicktime and get the same old error notice. Surely, by now, someone has found out how to get around this mess. Please....

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Has anyone found a solution for this?

    This seems to be an annoying part of the newer OS.  When I first got my Pearl in 2008, I didn't have that occur.  However once the OS got upgraded, and now with the Tour, it seems like that is the way it works.  Not clear to me why they would have thought this is preferable.

  • Has anyone found a solution to the login problem with Lion?

    I upgrade my 27" iMac Quad-core last week to Lion and everything was fine. I shutdown after a software upgrade and now I can't log in. Of course, Apple support is closed. I tried a number of the solutions on this site to no avail. Has anyone found a solution? *** has apple done to my system?

    Don't know if my problem is same as yours..after Lion install, frozen cursor in password field when logging in after starting up, beach ball. Couple of trips to Apple store, a number of phone calls to troubleshoot with Applecare. The last fellow who helped me found a workaround, just can't log in. He said engineers have reports of others with this problem so it's not just my machine but fix would probably come in software update. Been dealing with this since first week of Lion download. Hopefully they'll fix it eventually. I can use macbook now, but don't like not being able to have a screen login via password. No plans to ever again download a new op system on a mac...had no trouble installing win7 on older dell from vista.

  • 24" Cinema display is flickering every 30 seconds or so. Has anyone found a solution?

    I have a 2009 Power Mac tower with a 24" cinema display also 2009. About a year ago the display started flickering, like it was turning on and off. I've got a duel display set up and the other one (older acrylic 20") works fine. I've checked the cords, updated to the latest soft wear, at least I think I have. I see others having the same issue. Has anyone found a solution? This is really annoying when trying to do graphics work. Any help would be much appreciated
