Font Book acting very very weird, had to abandon it...

Hi all.
This happened before but this time it seems permanent...
I use Chinese True Type Fonts (.TT) as part of my daily work, but I only load them when I need to use them in Photoshop.
Today as usual I enable the whole lot of them in Font Book as any other day, but when I launch Photoshop, after scrolling down to the last English Font, the Chinese Fonts that should appear after that were not there...
I tried Repairing Permissions, quit and launch both PS and Font Book, restart... to no avail.
And I understand the when Font Book loads the fonts, it actually place a duplicate copy from its origin to the User's Fonts folder or somewhere in the main System's Font folder, right??
Anyway, I went into those font folders and sure, all the Chinese Fonts are all there, they just don't show up in Photoshop?? So in order not to "overload" my fonts folders, I deleted all of the Chinese Fonts, and some other extra English fonts that I have activated and been staying inside those font folders...
So now I use (back) Suitcase X1, which for some reasons I don't quite like, for one you have to keep it launch from startup, but using Suitcase to activate all my Chinese Fonts, they are back in Photoshop, where they should be... and I am beginning to appreciate Suitcase, for it just activate the fonts from wherever they are, and not copying another duplicate and place them in the Fonts folders.
But I would still like to find out what might have cause my Font Book to "malfunction"??
Thanks and cheers

My iPod Touch was acting very weird, and now the sleep button is unresponsive

Just yesterday morning, my iPod didn't turn on.
When I tried to turn it on, it didn't turn on, so I went to itunes to try to restore it. I downloaded the 700MB update, and left for school, leaving the iPod at home. I came back to find the screen turned on, however, it was acting very very strange. At first, I thought the battery was dead, even though I fully charged it the day before. First when I'm using it, the screen blacks out, flashes, and it constantly asks me to slide to power off, when I didn't press anything. Did a hard reset, and an update/restore, but it didn't fix the problem.
Afterwards, I noticed that the strange behavior stopped. Everything was functional again, except this time, the sleep button no longer works. I press the power button, and nothing happened. I can't even do a hard reset. I can't turn it off. The button isn't stuck though.
I don't know what's going on, but I need my sleep button, because if anything happens to this iPod, I won't be able to reset it. I restored it twice, and the issue was not resolved.
If anyone knows how to fix it, please tell me. I really need the sleep button. Just keep in mind that the sleep button is unresponsive, and I won't be able to do a reset.
If not, can you recommend me an ipod app that can put your ipod to sleep instead of using the button?

Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem. I believed the new iPod thing solved the weird behavior problem, but after that the button stopped working.
Do you know how to contact Genius? Because I don't think I can find a store in my area, when I tried to.

Has anyone had issues with the touch screen acting very weird since updating to ios7?

Since I updated my 4S to iOS 7, the touch screen has great latencies and I can press something in one part of the screen and it activates something in another. The problem is even worse if the phone is plugged into power.
Is there some way to go back to iOS 6? This makes my phone almost useless.

Apple does not support iOS downgrades.
Have you tried a reset?
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
You can also try a settings reset.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You will not lose any data but it will reset the settings in your Settings app.

Wired Aluminium Keyboard acting very weirdly

Hey guys,
My keyboard has all of a sudden, started acting really weirdly, and keys are doing things they shouldn't.
Whenever I type the "S" Key, the music will stop and when I press again, the music will resume playing.
When I press the "D" Key, it comes out as D=
Also, I have to press the backspace key at least 10 times for it to backspace one character.
Has anyone had any problems like this with their keyboard?
My iMac is only 1 week old.
Alot of other weird things happen as well such as the music glitching when I use the caps lock key.
Also I tried my Aluminium keyboard off my other Mac and it works perfectly without any of these problems I experience when using the other keyboard.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Things I've tried:
- Restart/ Shutdown
- Unplug all USB Device except keyboard
- PRAM Reset
None of these have worked.

I found this in the Help Viewer:
Some keys don't work as expected
Open Speech preferences in System Preferences. If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key combination to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--change to a more obscure key combination (try to use more modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, simply disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Open Universal Access preferences in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab, and make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In Universal Access preferences, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see this article.
If the issue persists, open System Preferences and click International.
Click the Input Menu tab.
Click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox to select it.
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If you have exhausted every trouble shooting tip possible, you might want to take the keyboard back for a replacement. Your iMac is certainly under warranty.

Wine font smoothing acting very strange...

I'm using bin32_wine and lib32-catalyst-utils from the AUR (10.5) and I edited the smooth font registry keys (I'm using Arch x86_64). This is quite odd to me, and I don't know what to do, but it doesn't want to work properly.
That's the only place in WINE that the smoothing actually shows.
I don't know if this is a WINE problem or my actual setup.

Again, please remove your auto-signature when replying by email.
Let's try a couple of diagnostic experiments, please.
First, create a new user account onthe mac and log in with that and tell us if there is a change in behavior in ID.
Second, try starting in with extensions disabled by holding down the Shift key while booting the Mac. Does that make a difference?
Do you run any sort of utilities -- anti-virus, Mac Keeper, etc.?

DAC Scheduler acting very odd

Greetings,
I currently have DAC setup to kick off an execution plan every 1 week from Monday through Friday, but for some reason it's been acting very weird. The schedule jumps and default to every 2 weeks instead of the specified 1 week criteria. Does anybody have any issue with that? Or do you know where I would go to troubleshoot exactly why DAC is doing that?
Thanks in advance!
Alvin

Hi
Just an idea , may be you can check the scheduler related API (availability of Jar files) in your version of DAC. For eg. i had a similar issue when my scheduler wasnt working for
daylight saving timezone which I was able to get a fix by applying updatetool patch of Oracle
Regards

Font book disabling fonts

I'm running Mavericks 10.9.2 and my Font Book application seems to randomly disable fonts. When I open the application to enable certain fonts, it disables them again anywhere from 5 minutes to a week later.
There is no preference to keep all fonts enabled. Any suggestions? As a graphic designer, this is incredibly frustrating beacuse I need access to my font collection every single day!

I have the same problem, Arial font is the one that affects me the most because it's used by a lot of websites. when arial is disabled in font book those websites look weird using other fonts.
I'm also a graphic designer and I use Suitcase for my font management, I don't know if they might have compatibility issues thats causing the problem.
Have you solved this?

Very weird font problem

I have a very weird and annoying font problem with the left menu bar of iTunes 8.2(23)
Some but not all menu items are displayed like a mix of Hebrew and unprintable caracters.
But once the menu item is selected, the font is back to normal !
The weired thing is that TV Series and Shopping cart menu items are displayed (in French, because the interface is in French) as expected.
I don't know if it is related, but I have Russian-PC keyboard installed too, Adobe CS4 (which installed Adobe fonts) and my OS interface is in French.

How did you go about finding this Lucida Grande.ttf? I did a search and didn't find it. I have the same weird font thing in itunes. I recently installed a whack of fonts from another computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Very weird problem - audio regions referencing elsewhere

Hi there,
One of my projects is behaving VERY weirdly.
For example, some of my drum regions, in the middle of playing, suddenly click, drop out, and then play flute!
This is happening to a few of my audio regions. It seems to have something with the fade files, because when I drag the region out or in it sorts the problem out but when I load the project again the problem is back. Also, all of my fades just don't work and whenever I reload the project I have to redo all of the fades?!
Any ideas??

It's odd that it only does this going from a video to an Audible.com audio book (Audible.com has it's own DRM which somehow integrates with iTunes, otherwise you have to use Audible's own software to load the audio books. I use iTunes for everything). Going from video to music, and audio podcast or another video seems to work okay. That's why I wondered if it was more of a bug than a physical problem.
In any event, the store I bought it at has a 30-day no-questions return policy. I've got the 30-day point marked on my calendar just in case!
I already returned an iPod nano under this policy to upgrade to the video iPod. The nano's battery completely failed on me after about 2 weeks. The store said they had a bunch of nanos with bad batteries.

Apple Banned me, because of a very weird problem with my "Factory Unlocked"

Hi Everybody! Im having a very weird problem with my unlocked iphone 4.
First of all, i would like to apologize because of my english, is not very good. My native language is Spanish.
Well.. Im from Mexico, and here we can buy the iphone Unlocked on the Apple Online Store.
Here's my problem. Apple has exchanged my iphone 3 times.
I returned the iphone the first time because the screen was totally yellowish, other than that everything was working great!, that was by the end of September.
On October 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then a bigger problem started .
Before i continue, let me give you this information: here in Mexico we have basically 3 cell phone companies
1.- Telcel
2.- Movistar
3.- Unefon
OK, now on october 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then procced to activate via itunes using my UNEFON sim card (microsim).
And every time i tried to activate it, only got this message onscreen:
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s2/jorgelomeli/Screenshot2010-10-29at24915PM. png
I though something was wrong with my brand new factory unlocked iphone 4.
I have 4 more simcards from my brothers (they all had iphone 4 too)
I tried telcel sim card, and i could activate my iphone. Then i insterted the Movistar microsim, and it worked too!! But then when i put the Unefon sim, the itunes logo inmediatly appears on the screen asking to activate on itunes, and when i tried that, the only response i got was the image above saying " The Simcard inserted on this iphone does not appear to be supported"
Weird thing here is, that, when i put my Unefon sim card on my brothers iphone 4, it worked great! on all of them, internet 3g, phone, wireless , evrything!
I called apple support, and they exchange the iphone for another one.
I recieved the third iphone on October 29. Last friday. and guess what? SAME PROBLEM! different serial number, same week production (week 42) but exactly the same message on itunes.
Very, very frustrated, i called apple again, and after 1 hour with thechnical support, they told me " We are sorry, but we can only offer you, your money back, NO MORE EXCHANGES FOR YOU"
I said why?... i dont want my money back! i want an UNLOCKED iphone!, but they refuse to give me another iphone.
When i asked techincal support, why my unefon sim card worked great on all three of my brothers iphone but not on mine, he just told me, "I really dont know, i guess they just got lucky" ****, this answer put all my trust i had on apple products for years, right on the garbage.
Since they refused to give me another iphone, i accepted my money back, and inmediatly after i finished the call, i asked my brother to buy me one more time an iphone 4 using his name, and his credit card. Now i have to wait until November 8-12 to recieve my new iphone, hoping this time i get a REAL UNLOCKED iphone, and not a partially unlocked iphone.
btw. i even went to Unefon costumer service and bought a new prepiad line, with a new microsim, just to be 100% sure that this problem is not because of the sim. And again didnt worked on my iphone, but it worked on any of my brothers iphone4.
Serial numbers of the 3 iphones:
79039C0U* (this one worked great with Unefon, only problem was yellow screen)
85042GR4*
81042FJB*
What do you suggest me? any info would be really aprecciated
FYI i also restore 4 times the last iphone and nothing seemed to work, i use 3 different computers, Macbook Pro, iMac, and an Hp with Windows 7, and the same message on all three computers.
Wierd thing also, one of my brothers bougth an iphone 4 this last week too, but he bought the 16Gb not the 32Gb. His iphone production week is 42 also! and when i put my Unefon sim in his iphone works great!
I dont know what else i can do, I just need to have faith that my new iphone coming this november will be real unlocked, but what if i'll recieve an iphone and then the same problem?? time for android? just kidding really guys, what can i do? anyone with similar problem like me? i dont wanna use Telcel or Movistar, i wanna use Unefon, and thats why i bought an Unlocked iphone
btw: jailbreak is not a solution for me, because i always like to use legal software on all my apple products, and because of the warranty.

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937, there are two official carriers in Mexico (Movistar and Telcel) and neither carrier offers an unlocked phone.

While I was having the problem, I was already using Ovro and had the font "Siyam Rupali" selected. I changed the font to "SolaimanLipi" provided by Prothom Alo and my problems with Facebook, Gmail and Bangla blogs are gone now.

Why is my mac book pro very sluggish in opening windows/color wheel

why does my Mac Book Pro acting slow when ever I'm working in multiple windows, going back and forth,
it take for ever to open up load the pages, and there is a rainbow color wheel spinning, not sure what is going on with it.
please help, and my 3 year warrant has just expired. please help.

Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Click the Apple menu icon top left corner in your Desktop. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select the Storage tab.
Make sure there's at least 15% available storage space.

Logic Studio acting very slow

Hi im new to this forum. Finally got Logic Studio, I have no previous experience of Logic but I have been wanting to purchase music software for a long time. I installed Logic and it is acting very slow and often when i have only recorded 3 layers it will say "System Overload the audio engine was not able to process all required data in time (-10011)". My Computer is a PowerPC G4, 1.25 GHz, 1 MB L3 cache, 2 GB DDR SDRAM. Writing all information because I do not know much about computers.
If anyone could help that would be great ??

You are unfortunately at the bottom end of computers that can run Logic 8 at all.
If upgrading your computer is not possible, be sure to check into ways of making your computer handle it's load more easily. Some ways of doing that are to check into freezing tracks, and being thrifty with plug ins, etc. You can put a plug in effect on a track (like EQ, say, or compression on a guitar track) and once you absolutely know you have the sound you want, record that to another audio track and take the plug ins off your original track. This will cut down on the number of plug ins you have running at any one moment. And remember, EQ takes up resources by the # of bands, so if you don't need 7 then use just one, or three. That sort of thing.
Others will no doubt tell you some better ways of making use of your computers resources as well.
Check the amount of samples your computer is using to address latency, as well, you have to adjust that a bit until you find a happy medium often. Read the manual for that until you understand it, and work out what helps you.
I should mention that RAM will help you a lot and in the cheapest way, if you can move up from the 2 Gigs you have, I'd do so.
You can also upgrade the processors in G4's, check out OWC Computing and maybe there will be some help for you there. It isn't inexpensive, but if I had a G4 I'd do it regardless.
Or maybe this is God's way of telling you to get a new Mac, is how I'd view it.

Projects doing very weird things

This has really been driving me nuts.
I'm on Mac 10.8.5. Just recently updated to CC 2014 v8.
I've been working on several projects lately, and very weird things are happening every time I open a project. Usually when you save and exit a project, when you reopen it, it will open to the same sequence you were last working on, but for some reason every time I open it will load a random sequence I hadn't worked on in a long time. Sometimes when I open, the project will load slowly indexing and conforming and generating peak files. After it thinking for 5 minutes, I go to play my sequence that was fine yesterday and now some audio tracks that are still in the timeline no longer contain any audio. When I match frame, the audio clip appears in source, but has no waveform and will not play any audio. Some audio tracks do not have waveforms but DO play audio, and when I match frame on those, the clip comes up and plays audio but shows no waveform.
Restarted computer and now all the audio loads fine, but thumbnails for all video aren't showing.
The other day I had a similar situation with VIDEO. Clips were randomly "pending" or "offline" and I would 'link' them, but it would remain offline or pending. Eventually it fixed itself somehow.
I'm having a hell of a time here. This is really holding me back from my work. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this as it is different everytime.
I'm working from an external harddrive that is brand new, and shouldn't be having any permissions issues...
Any insight would be appreciated!

Some trouble shooting:
Open Premiere while holding down shift+alt until welcome screen then
Clear out Media Cache database and remove remaining files in that folder manually.
See if that will help.
