CHICAGO! Why Has Apple Abandoned You?!?!

I hope that I have a defective system, because if I dont then apple has abandoned one of the few things that has remained constant since 1984!
I have always done all of my documents using the chicago font, but since we wiped everything on our emac and installed Tiger, chicago is nowhere to be found. this is the font that first made me attracted to the Mac, and its freindly but strong feel has been with me for my entire life! Why can I not find it on my computer, where can I find it???
I apologize if I sound desperate, but I am

If you've placed the Chicago font into one of OS X's Fonts folders, then it should be working. If not, then something else is amiss. All previous Mac TrueType fonts work in OS X.
As Kappy and Tom have pointed out, you can reinstall OS 9 to retrieve all of the fonts from the OS 9 installation and use them. If you have any retail copy of OS X, those disks don't include Classic (OS 9), so you'll have to use an older set of OS 9 disks. Matthias' eMac install disks should have a copy of OS 9 on them. They don't exactly stick out as the installation package for it is called something like "Additional Software".
Once you have them installed you can move, or copy all of the fonts from the /System Folder/Fonts/ folder to one of OS X's Fonts folders. It's preferable NOT to use the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder. Use either the Fonts folder in your user account, or the globally accessible (all user accounts) /Library/Fonts/ folder.

  • Why has apple dumbed pages down.

    why has apple dumbed pages down. It is now useful for school kids and maybe party invitations, not for professional work. Now I have to use Word to do my work. This is very disappointing.
    How long will it take for them to realize that some of us depended upon the utility in pages, numbers and many of the other apps.
    Who are they appealing to?
    If they Tonka Toy their hardware, it will be time for me to move on.

    This forum is not really public and is mediated by Apple.
    Pages 5 has over 90 other features removed:

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Export your Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx and trash/archive Pages 5.
    Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store where other users might see it before committing.
    I also suggest you let your disappontment be known wherever Pages 5 is reviewed. There is an unfortunate tendency for people who never use Pages or barely use it to parrot the old line that if Apple removed it nobody was using the features.
    This is the same asinine thinking that suggests if you never live in or vist any part of your city that it is OK for it to be bulldozed overnight.

  • Why has apple taken ical and address book sync away on mavericks

    why has Apple taken the ical and address book sync option away from itunes iphone info tab on the new OS Mavericks ???? Absolutley insane !!!!

    Independent of iCloud, here are a couple more options:
    1)  You could sync with Google
    2)  You could set up OS X Server ($19.99 download on the Mac App Store) and set up a CalDAV server and a CardDAV server on your local network, and use that to sync.  A few articles have been written on that, Google for some of those terms and you should find a walkthrough.
    What you CANNOT do is a tethered sync via iTunes.  Given it was removed, I highly doubt it's coming back.

  • Why has Apple decided that online orders for Macbook Air display and speak VO when first opened from the box? I"m guessing 1%or 2 % of your customers know what it is or want it.

    You are not talking to Apple, we are just users like you.  Only Apple knows that answer.

  • Is FCP X the end of FCP for pros?  Has Apple abandoned us?  No longer can open my older files?

    It looks like FCP X is a useless app for any pro application.  With no capture from or to tape (Which is still widely used in the pro industry) and we will no longer be able to open a version of our edit from any previous FCP project. The exports and imports have been severly limited.  What is Apple doing?  Why make FCP more like imovie?  Obviously the changes were designed by guys in suits and designers who have no experience in the industry.  I guess it's time to switch back to Avid or even Adobe Premiere.  I know my company is selling 40 of their Mac work stations and switching to PC and Premiere.  Something I don't want to do but if I want to contine working in the industry it may not be a choice.
    BAD MOVE APPLE.

    >Is FCP X the end of FCP for pros?
    Yes ... at least until FCPX is much more muture and robust than it is now.
    >Has Apple abandoned us?
    Yes.
    >No longer can open my older files?
    Correct.
    >What is Apple doing?
    Making money.
    >Why make FCP more like imovie?
    Because that's where the market is most profitable for them.
    >I guess it's time to switch back to Avid or even Adobe Premiere.
    My plan as well.

  • In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

    I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
    I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
    Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
    I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
    The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

    While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
    Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
    As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

  • HT4314 Why wont apple let you disable or unregister from gamecenter!? why?

    Why wont apple let you disable or unregister from gamecenter?! Iv done everything I can but games log into it reactivated its notifications aswell. It auto logs me back in...I want apple to let you unregister completely why not?? I have disabled all notifications from Gamecenter romoved all games listed, i deleted my email adress registered, i changed my user name...and loged out but games reactivate it, I also noticed it still keeps a record of your previous score and when reactivated relists all games on your handset again aswell.

    I feel the same way -- I would REALLY like to remove this misbegotten piece of junk completely. I would SETTLE for being able to disable it -- although there are instructions for "disabling" it, it doesn't STAY disabled. I have followed the instructions, removed my email address (although it still uses my email address as the login and won't allow me to ACTUALLY remove it), made my profile private, then signed out... And the next time the device is powered back on, the account is logged in again and insisting on trying to connect to every game I play. So I deny access, "disable" it, sign out, etc, again... ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
    When the rest of my family switched to android, I stubbornly stayed with my beloved iOS devices and my Macs, but this annoyance -- which WILL NOT go away -- almost makes me think I should reconsider. I HATE Game Center, and want it off my devices.

  • Why is apple abandoning EPEAT?

    Today I read that Apple is abandoning the registration of its products with EPEAT.
    http://www.epeat.net/2012/06/news/apple-leaves-epeat/
    Apparently the construction of the new MacBook Pro with retina display is not easy to recycle because everything is fused or glued together.  Personally, that would be reason enough for me not to buy it. But why are they abandoning environmental registration for all their products?  I think Mr. Jobs is turning over in his grave. This is going to be a problem for educators, schools, and others who use this as a bench mark of enviromental impact.
    As a long time Apple user this is sad day.
    I hope Tim gets Apple's act together and solves this problem.
    - Matthew

    iPhones and iPads never had ePeat certification.  And Apple has made it clear that the Retina MacBook Pro is a sign of things to come.  Apple is finally achieving the original intended goal of the original Mac.  This is to make a closed box that has no customization and forces consumers to continually buy the next product in the series.  Bonding and glueing and sodering and custom connectors ensure that end users do not modify the system. 
    This does not mean that Apple no longer cares about the environment.  This just means that the way Apple is producing its products no longer comply with a standards organization's description of environmentally friendly product design. 
    Apple continues to use materials that have less of an impact on the environment.  Apple continues to reduce packaging materials.  Apple continues to reduce the weight of devices. 
    But I agree that Apple is missing the boat on this one.  We support a number of corporations who have adopted green initiatives that include purchasing devices that meet epeat standards unless a viable alternative does not exist.

  • Why has Apple now isolated its self from we users? Trying to get help now is like Brickwall or Merry go round. Try asking Why you can no longer Back-up Itunes to CD, no longer Burn your own CD's

    Have you tried to Back-up or Burn a CD with this CRAP 10.4 version.  I have been attempting to get an answer from Apple for over a month. So far 7 different individuals have gone from telling me to read the "Back-up to CD" page, after telling them There is no Back-up to CD in 10.4. Another told me I had not bothered to read the Instructions that had been sent. When I finally got to a person who actualy read my email explaining the problem with 10.4
    All he could say was " Sorry, its a technical issue, I can't help you!" Now try and get an answer, go on try. The Web Help Page wants to know the Serial Number of my ITUNES PLAYER before it will go anywhere. Pretty sound LOGIC  !!!

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.

  • Why has Apple moved Dock controls from the Apple menu?

    So I took the plunge and installed Yosemite. And then hunted for the oh-so-simple control to move the dock from one location to another, as I connected my MBP to a monitor. But where's it gone!! No "Dock" in the Apple menu - panic!! Then I find it in preferences. But why oh why Apple? It was a mouse-hold and single click to move or resize the Dock; now it's Open Prefs, select the dock prefs, then select the position, size etc I want. That's 3 clicks, with lots of mouse movement, instead of one. And this is meant to be progress!
    Why?
    And can I revert to having this control in the Apple menu?
    Thanks

    tbirdvet, surely that's an intrusive and irrelevant question! It's what I want to do, the system should allow me to do it quickly and easily, as it has done in the past.
    But if you really must know, it's because sometimes I'm on my laptop, sometimes I'm on laptop + monitor and they look different, are differently configured and so on.

  • Why Has Apple Not Fixed Bluetooth!!!!!!!!!

    I know this has been discussed over and over again but all I wish to do is connect my iPhone 4S to any other Bluetooth device PC, MAC, handset ect this can’t be that hard its only Bluetooth every other handset set I’ve had never had an issue so why Apple!!!!!!!!! I love the iPhone and was a devoted Android user till not long ago thinking of going back as I need Bluetooth. Sad that such a technologically advanced company has not fixed this small issue.

    "Apple should build in this feature into the iPhone"
    You can leave feedback for Apple at:  http://www.apple.com/feedback
    " i cant understand why they havent "
    You do not need to understand it.  Apple has made the decision.  Your understanding has nothing to do with it.
    Leave feedback for Apple.  There is nothing more you can do.
