Can't get Postscript fonts to load

I'm moving fonts from my old OS9 computer to my new OS X Tiger computer. For some reason, whenever I try to use the Font Book to add new fonts, the PostScript Type 1 Outline Fonts are grayed out. This is driving me crazy. I know it's something simple, but I can't figure it out. Why won't OSX let me add PostScript fonts to my system?

To add to Kurt's advice, make sure the fonts that you want to copy over from the OS 9 Mac aren't in use by the OS 9 Mac when you attempt to copy them from your OS X Mac. By "in use", I mean that on the OS 9 Mac, they're physically installed in the /System Folder/Fonts/ folder, or reside elsewhere and are activated using a font management application. Because of the way OS 9 works, the active font suitcases are "locked down" by OS 9, and OS 9 won't let someone from an OS X Mac copy the files over. Only the PostScript Type 1 outline fonts will end up being copied over. In OS X 10.3.x, the OS X Finder would not inform you at all that copying the files failed. In OS X 10.4.x, the Finder will at least let you know that it failed to copy over some files (the active font suitcases).
Easiest way to assure you transfer the files properly is to go to the OS 9 Mac, create a second copy of all the fonts you'd like to make available to the other Macs, at some other location on the OS 9 Mac where they won't be activated. Then, when you connect to the OS 9 Mac from your OS X Mac, copy the fonts over from this deactivated copy rather than the originals.
I would recommend my Font Book Helper application, but unfortunately it doesn't work properly yet in OS X 10.4 -- I hope to release an updated version of Font Finagler with a Font Icon Helper feature that is OS X 10.4 compatible.
Anyway, hope this helps....

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps. The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members. I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

I am trying to find an old mac font. It's the techno (apple) font that was available with OS 9. How can I get this font?

I think that was Tecno. Techno appears to be a whole class of fonts.
Is this the one? http://www.dafont.com/tecno.font
That's a .ttf version which should work OK with current OS.
As an aside, I was searching for Apple Textile for quite some time when it was pointed out to me that it was used by iDVD. Sure enough, opened up the installer package for iDVD with Pacifist and there it was. Now working fine on all my Macs!

Upgraded to Mavericks, now I can't get some websites to load

I am not sure if the two issues are related, but I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks and now my internet browsers are really slow and I can't get some websites to load. When I check to see if the website is up, the response from http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is that it is just me. I assume it must be something with the upgrade as I did not have the issue prior to upgrading. I have tried accessing these sites in various browsers (Safari - preferred, Firefox, and Chrome), but none of them receive data from the site.
I also had a lot of trouble attaching a .jpg to an e-mail in Safari and Firefox. Google Chrome was finally able to get it to attach. I wonder if this is related.
Some of the websites that won't load are

http://isitdownrightnow.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can not get several apps to load on my i-pod touch and I even restored it back to factory. The message I get is that I need iOS 4.3, but i-tunes tells me I already have the latest version.

You can't install any application which requires iOS 4.3 or newer on a first or second generation iPod touch. If you still have a copy of that application compatible with iOS 3.1.3 or 4.2.1, import it into the iTunes library and sync it.
