CS5 Bug - "Can't find font library"

I just downloaded thenew Photoshop CS5 and noticed two things in the first four minutes. My initial impression is that the new tools palette is VERY hard to read. All the tools look the same and I find them very hard to differentiate. I have been working in PS since it came out in the mid-90's so why change the tools look now? It is certainly not an improvement.
Then I went to use my Text tool and got an error that PS could not locate any fonts.
Work the bugs out boys.

I too have a problem with Photoshop CS5's type tool. Mines different though, I can open Photoshop, but each time I select the type tool or a type related palette and sometimes the HDR tool, my photoshop simple crashes, asks me to reopen and eventually brings up a crash report.
I have requested support via the support service, only for my request to be withdrawn, after one unsuccessful suggestion and then logging in to find it withdrawn after not receiving an email, with a reply saying my graphics card is not supported.
My question is, if my graphics card is not supported, why suggest that I delete my pref file and recreate it by opening photoshop?
My other question is, why is the graphics card a MacBook Pro, that is only just over a year old and that cost me nearly £3500 not supported by PS CS5? Makes no sense, do you expect people to buy new hardware just to run CS5?
To adhere to your request to the other user, here is my system and a description.
MacBook Pro 17" (Purchased March 2009, brand new and customised)
Mac OS Snow Leopard (Up-to-date)
8GB RAM
NVIDEA GeForce 9400 GT and NVIDEA GeForce (9400M)
Student/Teacher copy of Design Premium CS5
Open Photoshop CS5, select the type tool, photoshop CS5 crashes. Thats all I do, is that enough information for you?
Please help as I am not happy with the software or the manner in which my support request was dealt with after the first attempt to fix the problem.
Kind Regards
Paul Goodman
ps. I think the Adobe staff need to be more open minded with their customers, we aren't all computer genius'. I personal think that because Adobe have cornered the market, that they are becoming complacent. If you know the software hasn't been tested enough on Macs, then don't release it until it is ready.

  • Remote can't find the library

    Hi everyone,
    Have the same problem since I updated iTunes to version 9 (and sup.) and iPhone OS to versi

    Sorry my post has been cut...
    So, I have this problem since I updated iTunes to version 9 (and sup.) and iPhone OS to version 3 (and sup.).
    I can enter the code on iTunes, then after telling me I can remote control my iTunes from my iPhone, I cannot connect and allways have the same message "can't find the library".
    What I've already done :
    completely reinstall my computer
    deactivate Windows firewall and Base Filtering Engine, then restart it
    deactivate my router firewall
    deactivate any filter on my router, then reboot it
    delete Remote from my iPhone, reboot it, then reinstall Remote, and reboot again
    activate library share on iTunes
    activate public folders share on Windows
    remove sim card to be sure to use wifi, and only wifi
    enter the 4 digits code on iTunes (worked)
    still the same message on iPhone : can't find the library
    I've seen many posts saying that the computer needs to been wifi connected, and not via Ethernet. Is it true ??? It perfectly worked with older versions of these programs, why would Apple have made a change like this ??
    Anyone with an idea?
    Thx

  • When I launch I photo it wants me to choose a library but it doesn't find one which is impossible, because i still have no storage. before i can clean up i want to back up them. how can i find my library?

    When I launch I photo it wants me to choose a library but it doesn't find one which is impossible, because i still have no storage. before i can clean up i want to back up them. how can i find my library?

    You may very well have damaged your library - or even your system by not having adaquate storage available
    And never select all of the pitcture and move them - that will destroy your library - the iPhotolibrary is a SQLite database and must always be kept intact as a single entity -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!

    All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!

    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. Thes those iTunes are not restored to the iPod unless they are in the iTunes library.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Distiller "can't find font" error with MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS

    Hi. I'm tried to verify that Distiller (both 9 and XI) and PDF Generator (11.0 SP1) are able to generate PDFs from Postscript files using a variety of fonts. Almost every font that I tried works perfectly fine, but MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS both fail with "can't find font" errors. I've verified font configurations in both Distiller and PDF Generator, and lots of other fonts work fine. I've also verified that the two fonts are installed, enabled, and can be used in other applications (e.g., MS Word). In fact, I can generate PDFs from MS Word documents on the same server that use both of those fonts. I suspect the errors are misleading in that those apps can find the fonts, but are unable to open or use them for some reason. I've been able to replicate this behavior both on Windows Server and Mac OS X.
    Has anyone seen behavior like this? Any suggestions on how to get more information out of these Adobe apps to get a better idea what the real error is?

    Addirional note: This is a java class within a JavaFX application if that is relevant.
    It does seem to be relevant - if I create the same class as part of a Java application rether than a JavaFX application it compiles without error. Is the imported java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment different in the tow cases??

  • I installed the upgrade and now itunes can't find my library and doesn't recognize my devices. Using Windows 7. Any help?

    Help!!! I installed the 10.5 update and now itunes can't find my library or recognize my devices. Running on Windows 7.

    For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
    Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
    If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

    If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

  • Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  Graham

    Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • Update for iphoto ....and i can't find my library or any of my pictures!

    Hello Wayne,
    well recently did the update for iphoto ....and i can't find my library or any of my pictures! I tried the same procudere that you suggested for numbers and pages, but that did not work. I don't even see the previous iphoto...Do you have any suggestions for this?
    Thank you.
    Edna

    Sorry but you need to give details to get help. What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What upgrade did you just do? Who is Wayne - never sevens anyone named Wayne in this forum? What was the procedure tat was recommended (I doubt that any trouble shooting hints for numbers or pages would apply to iPhoto)?
    Remember we can not see you and only know what you tell us

  • Sibelius 7.5 can't find "sounds library", I reinstalled and upgraded but no success. Any ideas. I'm on imac oxa 10.9.4.

    Sibelius 7.5 can't find "sounds library", I reinstalled and upgraded as Sibelius online help suggested but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? My display speakers do work.
    Thanks,

    Ok, problem fixed, if not solved. A very helpful Apple tech walked me through opening terminal and entering a sudo command line that established my user name as the owner with owner access. Like magic, everything reverted back to original state of affairs.
    Reviewing the console log of the error, it started when I tried to wake up the iMac from sleep with network access from another Mac, which should not have been a problem. This is in the category of "Who knows?" If there is a repeat, I'll come back here and post it.

  • Can't find my Library folder

    Can't find my Library folder in Lion.  Would like to use it again.  I went to terminal and put in chflags nohidden ~/Library  as it was suggested to me but no luck.  Any other suggestions?

    To see it permanently open Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:

    Press RETURN.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • I am trying to sync songs from itunes to my ipad and can't find my library on my ipad.

    I am trying to sync songs from itunes to my ipad and can't find my library on my ipad.  Can you help?

    Where are you looking on the iPad ? Your synced music (and that which you download from iTunes directly on the iPad) should go into the Music app

    Its no longer visible to the user. You can go to the folder by using the Go to Folder using username/library using the go to folder option to the right of the Finder labeled Go, then Go to Folder. Then you can see the contents of the user library folder.

  • I can't find my Library folder

    I just got a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.and I can't find my Library folder. I tried looking under Finder>Go (in the file menu) > but there's no Library folder listed. So I tried Finder>Go>Go to Folder and I get the message "The folder can't be found" when I type "Library." I can't find it under spotlight, Utilities... anywhere. Help?

    Also you can drag the ~/Lbrary folder to your Finder sidebar for easy access
    or unhide it In Terminal, copy&paste  the following command to reveal the ~/Library folder:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/

  • Can not find itunes library on recent upgraded computer.

    We recently had our computer upgraded. Downloaded itunes software. When opened itunes library, noticed mostly songs from windows came into library and with multipole repeats. Deleted them, hooked up IPOD nano and all my songs from it deleted. H..E..L..P.. NOw I can not find my library as it was before it go worked on.

    If you do not have a backup of your iTunes library from your computer you pretty well are out of luck.
