Font problems between Word and MAC

I used MS Word on Windows PC and created lot of documents using TSCu Inaimathi tamil font. When I open those files in my MAC, its all weird characters. How do i fix this? Also, when I create new files in MAC, using the same font, I can read it in Windows.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

When I
open those files in my MAC, its all weird characters.
There could be two issues:
If the text is Unicode, then MS Word for Mac can't handle it (MS Mac products can't do any Unicode Indic script yet). Try opening the doc with TextEdit instead.
If the text is not Unicode, but TSCII encoding, then you must install the exact font that produced it on your Mac. OS X only includes Unicode fonts, not old legacy encodings.
All Tamil produced on OS X with the Inamathi font that comes with it will be Unicode and should be readable in Word 2004 OK.

Applet font problem between linux and windows

I just want to share my experience in several project i've taken part.
In some projects, where all are developed under linux environment (suse 9.2),
we use jasper report for report generation and use the web applet for our clients to print.
They print ok in linux env, with the netscape 7.1, courier 10 font and jvm 1.4.2_06b version.
But when accessed from windows env, with the same browser and the same jvm version, the applet and the print out are different from those of lin env. The headers and footers are missing. When the we edit/lower the header and footer size at the jasper report file, then they appears @ the window env.
So strange that the font handling between win and lin differ (still my assumption). I'vent been able to solve this problem totally since the client must stick with one OS else the print out will be different.
Quite dissatisfied, coz i really think i could code once the report and run it anywhere in the applet and behaves in the same way.
Could anybody help ? T-T
Regards,
Albert Gan

hi!
this is my first post and i would like to ask if how did you create the web applet printing. im totally new to java and i dont know where to start.
i hope that you can guide me or give me some instructions. thanks in advance =)

Link problem between PCs and Macs

Hello. We have 3 Macs running OSX 10.5.x and Adobe Std CS5, and they share their Illustrator creations, images, etc., on a NAS file server. Recently, I downloaded the CS5.5. trial version for a PC running Windows XP Pro and on the same network with same file access and security. All machines use CIFS to access files.
PC user will create an Illustrator file in one of these shared folders on the NAS and link in images from another shared folder on the NAS and save it. When a Mac user opens the Illustrator file, however, none of the links are valid so the Mac user has to re-link those images and re-save the file. What change(s) do I need to make on the PC-side to stop this problem? Does the PC need to be on CS5, too?

Thanks to both of you for your help. We found out that the PC and Mac show the absolute path slightly differently when connecting to our NAS. However, if we create an ai file with linked images on the PC, save it, and then open it in the Mac, even though the links are off we can fix all of them if we simply re-link one image and then "Ignore" the rest of the pop-up error messages. There are less (or no) link issues if the images are in the same folder as the ai file, but that kind of defeats the advantage of linking over embedding. We need to have one central images folder since the same image can be used many times over. Is there any way to force Illustrator to use relative paths instead of absolut paths? For example, if I have a share name "Sales" and three folder within: "Images", "ABC company" and "DEF company", can the ai files I create in ABC company contain links like, "..\Images\image01.eps" instead of something like \\NAS2\Sales\Images\image01.eps? Would be nice if Adobe Illustrator had a preference setting of something like "Default location of ai files" where I can set it to, \\NAS2\Sales\, and then any documents I create would use that setting as a link starting point.

Helvetica font problems with DW and Mac OS 10.5

wondering if anyone else has seen this, just upgraded to 10.5
and DW (CS3) doesn't seem to be able to access system-wide
Helvetica fonts. I get odd symbols that require the page to be
encoded in Unicode, but odd symbols still show up, and I can't get
rid of them, even by trying to eliminate them in code view. Even if
I use Arial as default font, DW's inability to access Helvetica
seems to be introducing the symbol problems. I also use Suitcase
Fusion, and they recommend switching Apple's Helvetica.dfont with
Postscript version of Helvetica, since not all apps can access the
.dfont. Since this is a system-wide font that has it's own issues.
Searched help and these forums but didn't see anything about this
online. If anyone has any tips let me know. thanks.

If it happens in a new user you may be able to repair this with the 10.5.4 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

Font issue between PC and Mac. Options?

Hi.
I have been working for several months on a book that I have designed in InDesign. I was using the PC version of InDesign. I just purchased a new Macbook, and I am now beginning with a trial of InDesign for Mac.
As soon as I tried to imported my .indd file into InDesign on my Mac, I encountered an issue with fonts. Most of the fonts that I had used in my design do not work on the Mac version. InDesign gave me the option to 'Change' to comparable fonts. I figured I would try to see how I can adjust the manuscript and make this work. I immediately encountered other issues (for e.g., Minion Pro is a font that I did manage to use with InDesign in Mac, but it would not let me use the Italics version of Minion Pro. It is important that a number of elements in my book be italics, so I need to have a font that offers the distinction (and ideally, would not make me go back in manually and re-italicize everything.)
I spend about an hour or two researching this issue today. It seems there are a few options (including purchasing/downloading fonts and a few different software programs that handle that.) I would just like advice from those who navigated this issue on my best option/s.
Specifically these are the fonts from my original design on my PC that are missing on the Mac version.
Adobe Caslon Pro
Adobe Caston Pro Bold
Adobe Caslon Pro Italic
Adobe Devangari Italic
Adobe Garamond Pro
Adobe Garamond Pro
Adobe Garamond Pro Bold
Adobe Garamond Pro Italic
Constantia
Constantina Italic
Minion Pro Bold Cond
Minion Pro Italic
Palatino Linotype
Palatino Linotype Italic
If there is a free way to obtain these fonts and use them, that would be nice. If I do obtain, or use replacements files that Mac supports, I forsee another issue: I may very well encounter the same issue down the line when I try to open my design on a PC, or if I send to the printer, and they use a PC. What about cross platform fonts that are supported by different system?
Any advice on how to move forward would be appreciated.

The first respondent indicated that when the design is made into a PDF, then the fonts are embedded and visible across platforms. Are there any situations I should be aware of in which this isn't the case? If that statement is true or generally true, that is good news, and will make me feel a lot more OK about this process.
I Googled "fonts that cannot be embedded in pdf" and these are the top 3 results:

File sharing problem between XP and MAC when using Airport Extreme

I recently got a Time Machine to replace my flaky Linksys Wireless N router and since I've done that I can't connect to my PC running Windows XP and was able to before. I have made sure my firewall settings are correct and have gone through many different settings on Time Machine but still no luck.
I have my PC directly connected via ethernet to the Time Machine and my Mac is wireless. I'm able to ping the IP address of the Mac from my PC but can't ping in the opposite way.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

btw the error is
"Attempting to copy to the disk "Guy_s iPod" failed. The file name was invalid."
and then it says
"The iPod "Guy's iPod II" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to."

Pretty much confirmed interactivity between Word/Acrobat Mac vs. Same on PC is completely hosed in certain situations...Please tell me I am wrong!

I've pretty much confirmed that the interactivity between Word/Acrobat Mac vs. Word/Acrobat PC is completely hosed in certain situations...Please tell me I am wrong!
Situation: two workgroups need to work with each other sharing and editing word and pdf files for complex documents containing a TOC, list of figures, etc.
Problems reproducible on many machine types and configs:
1. WORD FILES: TOCs do not retain hot links within a doc that has been touched by a mac, and then re-saved as a PDF with the intent to have a linked TOC with chapter heads.
2. PDF FILES: that have been touched by a mac, for example to edit the document properties, will loose all TOC function as in problem #1 above.
In short, this rots for mac users who have to share/edit these files with PC brethren.
The only solution that I found for mac users is this:
Do your thing in Word 2008. Then have a PC version of Word and PC version of acrobat installed on a virtual drive like Parallels or VMWare, etc. Delete your TOC using MS Word for Windows, reinsert a new one, and then use the PC distiller installed into word by Acrobat Professional to create a new PDF that will be cross-platform functional.
I had a meeting with the Mac users to explain this work around and they looked at me like I was crazy, and they pretty much said go pound sand, we don't care if the TOCs are linked or not.
Well, I may be exaggerating there a bit, but NO ONE was happy with this solution, including myself. Our BIG question is "Is anyone going to fix this problem in the shortterm?!?" And it's Microsoft and Adobe both that seem to have some responsibility here...with an emphasis on Adobe, as it's clearly not just an MS isssue, as you can totally destroy a working TOC in a PDF file by just editing the file properties on a mac. Arg...
I also find it frustrating that Adobe does not have a forum for cross-platform specific issues, which to me seems consipiritory. Ha!

Does anyone know if there is a way to share files between Mavericks and Mac OS 9.1 operating system?

Does anyone know if there is a way to share files between Mavericks and Mac OS 9.1 operating system? When I try to connect from my iMac I get a window that says "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported." Is there a work-around to this problem or is it just not possible? It would be largly appriciated for a solutin beings my business is a small town newspaper, and we have some important files on the older computer that need to be acessed daily.

Actually to share files between OS 8-9 and OS X, all versions, is quite easy from what I read. Look here for some details.
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20003464-263.html
And here.
https://www.google.com/search?q=file+sharing+Mac+OS+9.x&oq=file+sharing+Mac+OS+9 .x&aqs=chrome..69i57.20706j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Or since both OS 9 and OS X can do SMB Windows sharing you could use that protocol to share files from one to the other.
Doesn't really matter what OS you are using. Mac OS/OS X shar files with Windows computers of all types and versions of Windows so the same applies for the different versions of Mac OS/OS X.
Each Operating System takes care of reading and writing files to there respective file formats of the hard drives so that does not have to be the same. They both just have to be able to do Ethernet with the same files sharing protocol.

2-way Trust Relationship between Windows and Mac Domain

Hi guys I hope someone can help me.
Just a quick explanation of what I am trying to do.
I have an Xserve running OSX 10.5.8 server, which is the OD Master. On that server I’m running Kerio mail server. I have a Microsoft 2003 server running AD.
The problem is I need to run BlackBerry Enterprise on the Windows server as the BlackBerry need active directory to work.
Since I have both system already running, I do not want to destroy my open directory just to get the BlackBerry working.
So what I have tried to do is create a 2-way Trust Relationship between the 2 domains, so the BlackBerry server will talk to the Kerio mail server.
The trust relationship appears to create fine from the Windows server side, but I’m not able to retrieve LDAP information from the open directory server.
The creation from the OSX server starts fine automated but then I had to finish it manually.
Has anyone else here created a 2-way trust relationship between Windows and Mac’s before? Any help on how you did it would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you checked on when the computer last checked in and changed the computer account password with the domain? When a computer changes it's password, Active Directory will store only the current password and it does not expire. The workstation
will store both the current password and the previous password. This for cases when you may restore Active Directory to a point before the computer password change.
To handle this, the workstation will try it's current password, then it's previous.
If you're restoring the workstation to a previous point in time, you may be rolling the stored passwords back too far for Active Directory to accept. I would only imagine this to be the case a handful of times if you're going back 1-2 days.
Are you experiencing 100% failure?

I have recently switched to the latest i-phone. my contacts are updated by i-cloud between phone and mac laptop.there are only about 720 contats showing on phone from app. 1250 on the computer. please advise how to correct phone

On the mac, only contacts in the "iCloud" section will sync to other devices. Those in the "On my mac" section do not. Could that be your problem?
To test the icloud situation, log into icloud.com with your mac's safari and to to the contacts page. What you see there is what icloud has received from mac and iphone.

Sharing files between users and macs

My husband and I share an iMac. I have a MBA for traveling and my husband a PC laptop (though he rarely uses for private stuff). We both have iPhones.
We are looking for a way to:
- Share our photos (we don't use iPhoto) and some files. We would like to have this in one shared folder, that we can access from both accounts in the iMac, the MBA and ideally (though not a must) the PC and iPhones. We would both need to have admin rights to edit documents, etc.
- Have access to all the information in my account on the iMac from the MBA. Ideally, same thing for his and the PC.
- Have access to all the data remotely when traveling.
- Have all the data backed up locally (we already have a cloud backup, but we'd like to have a local backup too as it's easier and quicker to access)
We have read a lot about configuration, NAS, time capsule... but we get more and more confused, as we are obviously no tech experts.
Dropbox is not our preferred choice. We already have a cloud backup system. We'd rather have the files stored and accessed locally for everyday use.
Using a NAS to store shared folders and backup the rest sounds good, but they either seem very complicated to set up, or they have mixed reviews in terms of stability, especially to access files remotely.
Timecapsule seems easier and more straightforward, but I'm not sure it would solve the "sharing files between users and macs with admin rights"? It seems to be more focused on backing up the main drive and then providing access to the backed up files. (Though I might be completely mistaken!)
We just can't manage to have one shared folder between both accounts in the iMac. We need to grant admin rights document by document. We don't manage to make it work automatically so we both have one folder to access with full rights for all the contents inside it. And this seems to me like something that should easily be done...?
Any help, advice, proposals... would be greatly appreciated!!!

Move any file you want to the other user to access to the Shared Folder. Anything you put in that folder is available to all users.
The shared folder is here:
Macintosh HD > Users > Shared

Share iTunes libraries between Windows and MAC

Hi all i've an wifi via "Base AirPort" i've an HD shared between MAC and Windows sistem via the BASE, the iTunes library that i've stored in the HD is non redable for iTunes on Windows because it need an *.itl file...
How can i share an iTunes library between Windows and MAC???

I would like to report back that after struggling for months to get Tune Ranger to work that it is complete rubbish. The first time I tried to sync my libraries (between an empty iTunes library and my existing one) it created duplicates all over the place in my library and generally made a huge mess of everything. The support person (who I suspect is the only person over there) gave me some guff about my id3 tags being corrupt but it was clear that every song that appeared in a playlist was getting duped. Once I fixed this (many weeks later) I tried a one way sync after fiddling with the preferences of Tune Ranger to try to make it work, but it simply wouldn't.
I don't know if anyway has had success using TR where they are also trying to sync playlists, but if you have, I would certainly like to know what you settings are.

The best way to transfer videos between devices and mac?

I have an iphone 4s, ipad and a macbook pro - is there any way to transfer videos wirelessly betwen these platforms?
As far as I know icloud only allows photostream of photos only but nit videos. This is quite inconvenient for video users as I normally take videos using my iphone 4s and would like to edit using ipad/mac's iMovie. I suppose I could transfer videos using a wire between iphone and Mac (still a PAIN without being able to transfer wirelessly), and what about between iphone and ipad? I understand Apple might be concerned about storage and speed for video transfer via icloud, if we could selectively do the transfer and have the option to delete them from icloud after the transfer it will be very much easier for video editor like myself.
Or have I just missed something? Is there indeed a way to do so??

If you want to transfer photos and videos from the Mac to the iPhone (but not in the other direction) you can use iTunes and sync via wi-fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
If you want to wirelessly tranfer videos in the other direction you may want to look into a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com Note that I have not used that app so be sure to investigate others as well.

How to share files between pc and mac via external hard drive

how can i share my files(mp3,mp4,documents) from my harddisk with mac. i am a new mac user and i have a harddisk of NTFS format(as i was a pc user).I learned that mac supports FAT32 format and therefore i can't write data on my external hard drive.
but, reading a section of OSX yosemite(under compatibility) it is said that now we can easily share files between pc and mac.
So please suggest me easier way that how can i share files between macs and pc as my friends uses pc and in future i really want to share my data with them without any hustle and i dont wanna loose my data in future

You can format the HDD to a common one like ExFAT or Fat32 but a reformat will delete all data off of the HDD.
Your other option is to use a third party software such as Paragon or Tuxera that will allow you to write to a NFTS formatted HDD.
Ciao.

Do any of you experience Im having with my ipad? I can't make a comment in Facebook for older posts and I can't open numerous comments from old posts of my friends. but everything works perfectly when I use laptop. is there problem between apple and FB?

Facebook apparently has their site coded poorly for tablets with touch screens. Try using the Facebook app. It is not perfect either but it is better than view in a browser lately.
