Arabic fonts not working in Illustrator CS4 on MacBook Pro

I have a bunch of Arabic fonts installed on my computer but can't use them on Illustrator.
For some reason, they are on my dropdown Font list but Illustrator is not letting me use them.
Arabic letters are meant to be connected to one another to form words and the fonts are not being applied correctly. The letters come out separated instead of connected.
Do I need to download something to be able to use them?
Thanks!

To  be more precise what is required is the Illustrator ME or on of the Suites also the ME version, which is the Middle East version. Adobe designates the version using the intials ME.
That will work with both Arabic and Hebrew.
Otherwise you have to one type backwards and use tracking of a negative amount sufficient to have the letters touch and make a character style and apply it to all text you  want arabic.
Best to have the ME version.

  • The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad

    The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad
    Today When I tried to open the app store on my ipad I found out that's the store is not working,,, It's giving me the loading screen like for ever without any error message. So I tried my Macbook and my iphone and it was the same,,,, I thought it was from the connection so I tried several different connections and It was the same.
    Any Idea what is going on with the app store ?

    The App Store app on your iPhone in your iPad is a different App Store than the app store app on your Mac. You use the same account for both app stores. So I would guess that the real issue is perhaps something to do with your Home Network. You might try rebooting your modem/router. Also, turn off any antiviral software, firewalls or apps such as Little Snitch.

  • Ctrl and shift alt shortcuts not working in Illustrator CS4

    Hi
    Can´t seem to get these keys to work properly.
    For instance while drawing with the rectangle tool then pressing shift to get a square does not give me a square, all I get is a tooltip balloon saying "shift" same goes with ctrl and alt and spacebar. This only happens while using my wacom graphire 3 not with the mouse. Trying to use the up and down arrows to shange the number of points in a star also not working. But if I FIRST click the shift key then start creating a square its working, but not if I first start creating the rectangle. Photoshop cs4 does not give me this problem. Using Vista 32 bit swedish language, latest Wacom driver 5.0.8-6, latest keyboard driver and a swedish microsoft natural pro keyboard, latest logitech mouse driver. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Fonts... there are probably the most guilty of that cases. Ask yourself: when you add (drop, be forced) new fonts in your system, by management spoftware (directly into font folder)? Notice when web browser "ask" you about access to your fonts on your HD in last time (so often last days). When you "dig" somthing in a system, at any way, you disturb his  "sacramental peace" (Ohmmmm...) and it flow in other case like sensitive Illustrator or others -  I think all other "movements" eg. reinstaling, deleting, etc just "cover" problem by something others (for a short time) or don't resove it at all.
    So, first try... rebuild you system maintenace privilages (do this every month or often! Try Atomicbird Macaroni or Titanium Onyx or so, than...
    try rebiuld/refresh/clean your font cach ( I use for this, and manage, FontExplorer X Pro) and should be fine.
    ..."should" I'm not guarantee 100%
    PS
    I have no idea what should be done on PC

    It wouldn't hurt to clarify what you mean by "not working."
    Does that mean you can see it and select it in the font menu, but then it somehow subsequently fails to __________ ... ?
    Or, do you mean it doesn't appear in the font menu? (Please be sure you check the entire font menu, and not just where you expect it to appear via alphabetical order.)

  • Arabic fonts not working

    Sir,
    We had purchased Office 365 for our organisation & we are really ashamed that it is not supporting Arabic fonts
    kindly if u can resolve this problem

    Do you mean the desktop version of Office 2013?
    As far as I know, Microsoft Office supports right-to-left functionality and features for languages that work in a right-to-left, such as Arabic.
    THis link should be helpful:

  • Mac App Store not working - first day with new MacBook Pro

    Hi guys,
    I received a new MacBook Pro 13 inch with retina display today and have been working on it this evening but I have a problem: My app store won't open.
    It was fine earlier - I downloaded both textwrangler and notepad - but now, whenever I click on the icon in the dock it bounces for a few seconds before simply showing a blank screen.
    I have uninstalled my downloads from the day in the hope that it would prove to be a fix but nothing has happened. I live in the UK so it's too late for me to ring the store - it's past 10pm here - but I was hoping somebody could help me out!
    Also - My iTunes doesn't work - whenever I try to purchase an album or listen to any music an error message pops up reading 'an unknown error occurred.' I'm not sure if the two problems are linked...
    Any help will be greatly, and gladly, appreciated!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • External Display wil not work when I close my MacBook Pro

    Help! I'm using a Vizio LCD with Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse and I'm trying to use just the display with the MacBook Closed and Powered, but as soon as I do that the Screen on the VIzio dies. I worked for a while but now it won't work anymore. I can here the mouse and keyboard working but the screen on the Vizio will not display anything. bought a the only thing that I'm thinking is that i bought a cheap HDMI to DVI cable at Walmart..could that be the problem? Any feed back would be welcome. Thanks

    6 With the computer turned on and your wireless keyboard or mouse paired, connect the other end of the adapter to the video output port on your MacBook Pro.
    7 Once your computer's Desktop appears on the external display, close the MacBook Pro lid.
    8 Once it's closed, wake the computer up by either clicking your Bluetooth mouse button or by pressing a key on your Bluetooth keyboard.
    You mean it never wakes the external monitor at this point?

  • USB ports not working in Windows-7 on MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 after Bootcamp installation

    1) INSTALLATION
    Using Bootcamp (v. 5.1.1, OS X Mavericks) in combination with an original Microsoft installation DVD disc using an external optical CD/DVD drive. Note, the installation is NOT from an ISO image. In the Bootcamp setup window only the lower two of the three setup options are clicked, namely a) to download Windows-7 drivers to a USB stick, and b) to partition the harddrive and then to install Windows.
    2) PROBLEM
    After the initial Windows-7 installation no devices attached to the USB ports can be found under Windows-7. The ports are dead. Also the WLAN did not work, so no internet connection was possible.
    3) CAUSE
    The problem is caused when you use a USB 3.0 stick as destination for the Bootcamp driver downloads. It seems that Windows-7 cannot recognize the USB 3.0 stick properly during the Bootcamp/Windows installation process, thus failing to do perform a proper installation of the Windows-7 drivers.
    4) SOLUTION
    Use a USB 2.0 stick and everything will work perfectly.
    Follow these steps in order:
    1) Connect your external DVD drive to a USB port and insert the Windows installation disc
    2) Start the Bootcamp utility
    3) In Bootcamp, remove the failed Windows-7 installation and partition
    4) In Bootcamp, redo the entire Bootcamp process, but this time using a USB 2.0 stick
    5) Follow all further steps in Bootcamp and later in the Windows-7 installation process
    6) At the end of the installation procedures you will be asked to confirm the installation of all Bootcamp/Windows drivers.
    7) Bootcamp installs all the drivers and your Windows-7 installation will work perfectly.

    Ok, where is this Intel driver? There is no such thing "program manager" so I am guessing you mean the Programs and features control panel, but on my machine that whole window is blank after a clean install. I still cannot get the USB ports to activate. Two fresh installs and several different USB sticks later and no luck.  Should I just give up and go to Windows 8.1?  I really need Windows 7 to work if at all possible. Other devices shows one USB controller without driver software so I suppose that's the culprit. There are other USB devices installed under the USB section of Device Manager, but they apparently have nothing to do with the USB ports themselves, just devices like the trackpad etc.  I've spent two hours on this so far and it's getting out of control.  Why doesn't this work with generic USB drivers?

  • Why does power nap time machine backup not work on my August 2012 macbook pro retina?

    Hello. I got a MacBook Pro with retina display in August of this year 2012. I have done the SMC ? firmware update and I have 10.8.2 installed on my machine. Power nap still doesn't seem to work. I have the button in energy saver preferences and I have clicked it so it looks like power nap should work. When I am running Time Machine backup with the time capsule and I close the lid (plugged into power) it appears that no progress is made when I reopen the lid. I have closed the lid with activity monitor running and with network displayed. When I reopen the lid it may take up to one minutes to come out of sleep. When it does come out  of sleep I can see that there has been no network traffic.  Eventually, time machine backup resumes and I can see several megabytes per second. When I closed the lid overnight, just to make sure backup didn't restart after lid closing, I saw that no progress had been made in backup when I reopened the lid.
    What options are left if I already have 10.8.2 and I have done the required firmware?  One person has mentioned a clean install but I really don't like to have to reenter all the different passwords and all the different preferences again unless that's absolutely necessary. Are there any other options left to try before a clean install?
    One other bit of information.  I have filevault turned on; however, it looks like others have a working power nap even with file vault enabled.  If this is not an option, the power nap button should be grayed out when the machine is in filevault.
    Thank you for any help.

    Yeah I still have the same problem BTW; it still does not work.
    The second I open the lid and take it out of sleep mode, it starts to backup automagically, but when it's sleeping EVEN when it's connected to AC power, TM backups do NOT work to my OS X Server. 
    I don't understand what the problem is here.
    I didn't before but I do have FileVault turned on now -- should that make a difference?
    In either situation it didn't work, but now that I think about it, I could understand why it wouldn't backup while asleep.  Apparently the encrypted volume will stay encrypted during sleep and even at the lock screen; it's not until you open the lid and log in from the lock screen that it will unlock the encrypted boot volume.
    But even still, I did *not* have FV turned on before, and this still did not work.
    Is there some third party solution that can do what I want this to do?
    Here's my use case:
    1.) I have a mac mini at home that I use when I'm at home; it runs OS X server.app (bought and paid for) and has TM server turned on.
    2.) I have a laptop that I mainly use at work and I don't use at all when I come home (ie. when I'm ready to head home for the day I close the lid and don't open it until I'm back at work the next day, but the laptop does come home with me every day).
    What I want to have happen is this:
    1.) The minute my laptop enters my home wifi lan (even though it's still asleep with lid closed) I want it to automatically backup the boot drive.
    I thought that's what Power Nap was supposed to do, but then I found out that in order for this to work, you have to be connected to AC power; so then I tried that -- ie. every day I come home, I put my laptop in a docking station that has AC power, but TM backups while lid closed / sleeping STILL do not occur!
    Thanks for your help everyone...Looking forward to a solution that works.
    EDIT:
    I found this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4158709
    "It looks like Power Nap doesn't perform Time Capsule backups when the MacBook Air screen is closed."
    So apparently that is yet *another* requirement to get powernap working.  The lid can not be closed. 
    What is the difference between sleep with lid open and sleep with lid closed!?

  • Sound not working when watching movies from MacBook Pro 15'' in full screen

    after a recent iTunes upgrade the sound will not work when I watch a movie or anything else in iTunes on my Thunderbold Display. I have the 15'' retina MacBook Pro connected to the display and it used to work flawlesly. has anyone had the same problem?

    When I upgraded the volume control in iTunes (at the top) defaulted to off (all the way left) so no sound.  I just slid the slider all the way to the right.  Also be sure display audio is set in the preferences, sound menu

  • License not working after migrating to new MacBook Pro

    I migrated recently to a new MacBook Pro. Aperture is finding it hard to recognize my license from earlier MacBook Pro
    Aperture license shows blank. Asks for license. Does not accept my Aperture 2 or 3 license.
    Do I have to ?
    * Backup my data
    * Uninstall Aperture 3 that was migrated
    * Install Aperture 2 again
    * Put license
    * Apply Aperture 3 upgrade again
    * Open photo libraries to check compatibility
    Any recommended way of handling the license recognition with least hassle?
    Last working setup
    * MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz
    * Snow Leopard 10.6.4
    * Aperture 2
    * Aperture 3 upgrade applied to Aperture 2
    Now
    * MacBook Pro i5 2.4GHz
    * Snow Leopard 10.6.4
    * Aperture 3 (Migrated from MBP2.1Ghz)
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I keep reading people state this, but I've migrated a bunch of times since first getting Aperture 1 (or whatever Apple called it). I just did a migration from a 15" MBP (Early 2009) to a brand spanking new 17" MBP i7. Aperture 2 is working perfectly. I'm not bragging or anything, because if something is going to go wrong, it will go wrong with me. Yet, I haven't had any issues with any migration and "Pro apps" including moving iMacs to iMacs, iMacs to MBP, MBP to iMacs, etc etc.
    Now I'm paranoid that Aperture is going to blow up on me next week!

Many apps are gone.  I've done this twice with same result.  Luckily I have a back up.  Any thoughts

  • Fonts not updating in Illustrator CS4

    Dear Adobe Community:
    I am using the text tool and adding text to a document.  This is "artistic" text, not paragraph text without any appearance filters or effects applied.  When I try to choose a different font than the default which I believe is Myriad Pro, Illustrator does not update the font change.  I have tried other programs such as CorelDraw (I am on Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit) which update the fonts without a problem.  Is there something wrong with my Illustrator configuration?  I just used Illustrator the other day to do the same thing and I didn't experience any problems.  It was a different file, though, so maybe my file is corrupt?  Please assist.
    Thank you,
    markerline

    This problem seems to be an issue with a typical Windows error where you have to RESTART the computer in order for anomalies to go away.  That's what I did--restarted--and now the file works fine.
