Can anyone suggest a nice-looking scholarly font?

For several months, I've been looking for a good scholarly-looking font. I like Cardo, which was praised elsewhere last year; but it lacks bold and italic variants, and development on it seems to have ceased. I also like Georgia (see the new NYTimes), but it seems unable to produce macrons over vowels without distorting the vowels themselves -- and I need macrons to write in Latin.
Can anyone suggest some other candidates, for which there is a full set available?
Thanks

This could turn into a broad and deep discussion with many opinions!
Serif typefaces are considered easier to read on paper; sans serifs are considered easier to read on screen.
Baskerville is a good serif typeface with all the formatting (i.e. bold, italic) and character (i.e. accents, symbols) options. Garamond too, and it's a little more condensed if you need to shrink something to fewer pages. Times New Roman bores some people, but is also good. In my opinion, none of these three typefaces are distractingly "different" and they all look good.

Can anyone suggest a app or programme for creating a simple text based logo with a font I already own?

Hi.
I run my own company and would like to create my own simple text based logo using a font I've downloaded. Can anyone suggest an app or programme that will be simple enough for a dunce like me to create vectored graphics and reliable enough to create something professional and usable, please?
Thanks.

I believe if you copy the font into the font folder, any application should be able to use that font.

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?

"gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

Can anyone suggest a simple system for backing up my MacBook?

I have a MacBook 120G which runs Tiger. I also have an Aiport Extreme, which is connected to a printer via USB. I want to buy an external hard drive to create a safety back up of my whole system. I have been trawling the suppliers' websites, getting more and more confused. Can anyone suggest the simplest solution for a simple-minded user like me? These are my main confusions:
a) Can anyone suggest what type / make of hard drive I should buy in order to be able to store my computer's contents and re-boot it in the event of disaster? Will a non-powered hard drive do the job or is it somehow better to get a powered one? It would sit near my desk so I am keen to avoid fan noise if at all possible! I believe I'll need to 'partition' the drive in order to make it bootable, or something - if this is correct, what kind of hard drive is easiest and idiotproof for this?
b) I think I've concluded it's not worth binning my Airport Extreme and replacing it with a Time Capsule. But is it worth buying Leopard in order to get Time Machine? I believe I can still use the Airport Extreme to connect to the hard drive so that Time Machine would make backups regularly and wirelessly? If so, do I need to use a USB hub from the Airport Extreme so that I can still keep the printer connected? I can only find one HD which has a built in hub - the Iomega Minimax - but I have read reviews saying the fan is noisy. Any other suggestions?
Any help and suggestions about this would be very gratefully received. Many thanks
Steve

Leopard is a nice upgrade (if your computer has 2GB of memory) and TimeMachine is convenient but it isn't the only way to create a reliable and simple backup system. If you decide TM is your solution buy a drive that has 2 to 3 times as much space as you are using on your computer now. If you are using 80GB of your drive now, buy a 160GB to 240GB drive for TimeMachine. It keeps multiple backups and eats up drive space pretty quickly.
Lots of good backup programs exist but the one I really like is called SuperDuper! It will create an exact duplicate of your hard drive and you can set up a schedule so that automatically backs up new and modified files at specific times/days. With my MacBook I connect it to my external drive on Friday evening and let SuperDuper! do its work overnight. If you chose this router or another that doesn't use TimeMachine, get a drive at least as large as your computer's hard drive.
The Western Digital MyBook series is a good choice and so is the Seagate FreeAgent series. I'd avoid self powered external drives like Western Digital's Passport series unless you intend to travel with the drive. They require special proprietary cables to power the drive which are easy to lose and expensive to replace, among other things. If you can afford a firewire drive that's generally preferable because firewire is faster than USB but the speed difference isn't blazing. If you do you backing up over night speed won't be an issue.
Whether you use TimeMachine or another program, this is just once phase of a backup plan. If you experience a break-in, fire, or flood the backup drive is probably going to experience the same fate as your computer. You also need to think about taking a backup of your most important files off-site. This can be as simple as once a month burning a DVD of your documents, digital photos, and email to a DVD and taking it to work.

Can anyone suggest useful software apps to have installed on my macBook to use with my 4th grade special education students?

Good place to look for software:

And for free alternatives to some popular software packages:

(If you see an ad there for something called MacKeeper, ignore it and on no account install it - it is malware.)
And there is of course also the App Store!

Can anyone suggest a good external DVD-ROM drive?

My DVD/CD drive in my Mac Mini has given out, and i'd rather just get a good external drive than pay to have mine replaced. Can anyone suggest a good one that they know is compatible with Apple products?

Amazon has the following Memorex external burner with usb2 and firewire for a bit under $100:
Memorex 32023288 DVD Double-Layer Recorder 16x16 Dual Format External Drive
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007OWASE/
Reviewer: "yankee_doctor" on Amazon says --
I am very pleased with the performance of this machine. I bought it to add dual layer dvd's and 16x burning to my aging Powermac G5 from Apple. It has worked perfectly for me and makes DVD's in about 3 minutes. A very nice touch. As a side note, I am a world traveler and I am planning on moving to London at the start of next year. I was afraid that it would not be able to go with me. But I contacted Memorex and it already is wired to work in the U.S. and Europe. That was a nice surprise. Buy this product, you will not be disappointed.
I can't vouch for it myself, but it might be worth googling for reviews of it.

Can anyone suggest me a cheapest Nokia mobile that...

Hello,
I'm looking for a cheapest Nokia handset that supports Nokia PC suite. I just need a mobile for SMSing and to take backup of all my messages. Can anyone suggest me one? I have no idea on this and I truly appreciate your help.

That's exactly the point I was trying to make. We don't know what is available in your are and what the prices are. We could be naming phones all day. It would be a lot easier if you can tell us the options you have available to you. Lets not also forget that apart from pcsuite connectivity and cost I am sure you have a preference regarding the form factor and appearance of the handsets as well. It does not help that Nokia have so many models available. Options could include current low end or previous higher end models. All depends on what your local shops have in stock.

Can anyone suggest me a color calibrator please?

Hey everyone,
First of all, sorry for posting in this forums, couldn't pick any better.
Can anyone suggest me a good value/price balanced color calibrator? I was looking into Spyder 3 and X-Rite Eye-One Display 2. But also, i've noticed that Pantone and Eizo also offer approx the same devices - "Eye-One Display 2". And that put me into a doubt.
Can anyone please advice me something? Also I'm willing to have that device working on Windows too (specifically Vista 64 bits).
Thanks in advance.

I use the X-Rite Eye-One Display 2, and have had no problems with it. I had tried the Spyder 3, but it seemed like their tech support wasn't all that good when I had an installation issue. Also, the sensor cord seems thicker on the X-Rite, which might result in the cord lasting longer (a thicker cord appears to be a good thing, since the sensor hangs by the cord while the monitor is being calibrated).
Given that the cost of the 2 units I tried is roughly the same, the X-Rite appears to be a better choice.

Can Anyone suggest and audio/midi interface for MacBook Logic Express?

Can anyone suggest an audio/midi interface for use with a MacBook and Logic Express? I'm seeing a lot of problems with Tascam devices; does anyone have an interface that actually works well? Two audio inputs and midi i/o would suit my current needs, but more would be fine if it works.
Thanks!

Any of the Pro-Tool Mboxs will work with Logic Express. Kind of an unadvertised feature. But I have an original M-box with very nice Focusrite Preamps that works like a charm. No midi though.. some of the newer M-boxes have them.
Also, I have a Presonus Firebox and I know they make some smaller interfaces. No problems working with those.
M-audio Makes some great interfaces too. Their Fast Track pro would probably have everything you need for under $200.

My iPad was logging me out so I have reset it - I cannot log into iCloud now and also my login for app updates defaults to an incorrect email address can anyone suggest how to re configure

My iPad was logging me out so I have reset it - it retained all apps but I cannot now log into iCloud and when downloading apps it defaults to the wrong email details so the iPad doesn't recognise it to update - can anyone suggest how to resolve this

Have you attempted to access your Apple ID through iforgot.apple.com ?
If you have access to the internet, you should be able to go through the process of resetting your Apple ID password via security questions or email.
Assuming that you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes/App Stores, resetting your password may help you log back into iCloud and the iTunes/App Stores.

So, you can't Install OSX to the external?
Or you can't boot from it when you do?
You're not the only one wondering... I'm reminded of the Goose that laid the Golden Egg story.

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.
