Font Question for Kurt Lang or anyone else who may know
We are using the postscript version of Helvetica Neue roman and medium,
are the kerning values, line spacing, characters, etc... the same if our client was to use the Open Type version. I know its not expensive to buy and try, just trying to avoid it if you guys/gals can help.
Thanx in advance!
Thanks for the link, ~Bee! I didn't even realize Adobe had a separate forum just for typography. I've only visited the Photoshop and Illustrator forums on occasion. Although I don't spend a whole lot of time here, even what I do is sometimes too much since it keeps me from getting work done (can't help it, I like it here . If I were to start hanging around the Adobe forums too, I wouldn't get anything done.

Another question for Old Toad (or anyone else) about backing up iPhoto
Obviously, I am not understanding what I am supposed to do or see when I try to backup my iPhoto library.
My iPhoto Library folder is in "Pictures".
I have downloaded the "iPhoto db File Backup" and put the icon in the dock.
Now, what do I do to perform the backup? I tried opening iPhoto and highlighting Library in the Source pane, then I tried highlighting all the pictures in the library, then I tried highlighting the iPhoto Library folder in Pictures and clicking the db file backup icon in each case. Nothing happened - at least I don't think anything happened. I was expecting a second folder with the title "iPhoto Library copy" or something like that to appear. What should I look for?
Also, when I opened my iPhoto Library folder, I found the following among the list of all the rolls of photos:
Library.iPhoto
Library6.iPhoto
When I clicked on each of them, my entire library of photos opened along with the following message:
Unreadable files: 1
The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)
/Users/my name/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Library6.iPhoto
I don't understand what this means and what I did - or shouldn't have done. If I did something wrong, can I undo it?
Finally, I also saw the following and tried to open them to see what they are, but couldn't. A message window said I had to choose an application that would open them and I didn't know what to choose. What are these three items?
Thumb32Segment.data
Thumb64Segment.data
ThumbJPGSegment.data
I'm keen to backup all the photos I have so would appreciate whatever help/explanations readers can give me with all of this.

What are you trying to back up specifically:
Your Photos Only
or
Your iPhoto Library (this includes Albums, books, slideshows, etc)
or
Your database file.
Old Toad’s wee application is designed to back up the database file only. It’s intended for use when you’re organising the photos in your Library and it’s a handy protection against damage if the app crashes. But it does not back up any photos.
To back up you iPhoto Library:
Make a copy on another disk of the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. Copy it as a single unit. Using a Back Up utility such as DejaVu or Chronosync you can make incremental copies - that is, as you make changes to the Library the original back up is updated. (There are many, many back up utilities: search on MacUpdate.)
To back up your Photos only
Select them in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export, select the version you want (Kind: Original or Kind: Current) and export them to another disk.
Note that none of these involves rooting around in the iPhoto Library itself. There are no user serviceable parts there. Any time you go in there you risk damaging the Library.
Library.iPhoto
Library6.iPhoto
Are the main database files. You’ve done no damage I would guess. There is no way of reading those files unless you’re a programmer.
Thumb32Segment.data
Thumb64Segment.data
ThumbJPGSegment.data
These are cache files. Iphoto needs them but there’s no reason for you to open them. Even if you did they’d make little sense to you.
The iPhoto Library is a bit like under the bonnet in your car. Fine if you know what you’re doing, but a lot of folks are better off staying out of there.

Driver Question for Andrew (HP) or Anyone Else:LaserJet CM2320nf MFP, 2600n
This has been posted by me in threads but keeps getting lost in betwixt 1000's of others - so I'm starting anew
Will there be a driver for the HP LaserJet CM2320nf MFP that allows scanning,
and for the LaserJet 2600n that allows printing?
Both under warranty and for both I get nowhere from HP (support, telephone, email).
I'm rolled back to 10.5.8 until my office can use these, or I go to Windows after 25 years on a Mac.
Message was edited by: pcbjrHP is steadily rolling out new drivers, but this is not an Apple problem since HP supplies the drivers. Apple did recently release the HP Printer Drivers 2.1 update a couple of days ago. You can install it to see if drivers for your printer have been supplied. However, only HP can tell you if and when new drivers will be available for both printing and scanning.
Meanwhile you could try VueScan that may support scanning on your device. Or you could try installing the SANE TWAIN driver (may or may not support scanning for your device.) Both can be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
In general it's always a good idea to avoid upgrading in a business environment until you know that all your hardware is supported by manufacturer updated drivers/software. Apple is not responsible for this.
Of course if you think it's less expensive to move to Windows (assuming it supports your hardware) then perhaps that's what you should do. -
Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you
You received incorrect information from AT&T. You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.). This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number. Ask them how to access your voicemail. Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password. You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number. Let the AT&T person tell you. -
I have a HP workforce 610 and cannot scan. I just spoke with HP and they told me it is a software problem with my MAC for image capture. Anyone else having difficulty?
If Image Capture doesn't work you could try the paid for app VueScan ( www.hamrick.com ). You can try it for free in demo mode to see if it works before purchase.

By what time zone does Verizon use to log data usage? When I checked my current usage, there is data used logged in at early morning times and I don't have anyone else who is up at these times. I also have 1.8+ GB charged to my allowance that I don't understand at all how it is mine because the highest I've ever logged at any given time has been barely 0.5 GB. I'm cruising along at .04-.07 GB and all of a sudden appears a 1.8+ GB deduction/usage and it makes me wonder what the ???? is going on. Is Verizon posting fraudulent usage amounts just to drive up my usage so I have to buy more Gigs?
The time is not the time of actual use, but the time a tower reports the use. The data would have been used anytime prior to that time. Usually, but no always, the usage happened between the time prior and the time reported.
For example:
9:00 AM 1.23 MB
7:05 AM 0.01 MB
1:15 AM 350.03 MB
8:00 PM 23.89 MB
This does not indicate 350 MB was used at 1:15 AM. It really tell you 350 MB was used sometime between 8:00 PM and 1:15 AM.
The times are local time zone as far as I can tell. -
Spaces and MS Word for Mac 2008..anyone else having this problem
Hello,
I know MS Word for Mac 2008 isn't a Apple Product but is anyone else having the same problem as me and is there a solution?
I have it set up to be in "spaces 4" and I'll be working on it and suddenly it ends up in space 2, or 1. Really aggravating.
SeanYes. Exact same problem. Folks at the MS MacBu are aware of it and say that both Apple and MS are working on it. It's still an incredibly annoying problem, though. In fact, it's even worse than you descrine.
Not only does Word 2008 work with spaces, it makes it impossible to use spaces with other applications. I've tried to leave all Word docxs (and docs) in one space and then put other applications in other spaces. It doesn't work. Word doc(x)s still move around randomly.
It's one thing for Word 08 not to work with spaces, but to actually interfere with other apps that do (did) work with spaces, that's pretty bad. I have to admit I feel quite foolish for purchasing Microsoft Office 2008 (at considerable expense). I do at least hope both companies are working on a fix. -
Question for Günter please, anyone's thoughts appreciated – ADDT limits
About a year ago I build a simple social network type application with very basic features:
Users pages/Public pages
Friends
Comments
Blog
image uploads
etc
I stop working on it because I found PhpFox, well I have had little to no luck making it do what I want due to my lack of understanding of OOP.
My question is, do you know or can you think of any limitations that I should consider before putting any more time into my ADDT application?
I know(through reading quite a bit on security) that I’ll need to simplify my url’s with http rewrites, to keep mean people from hacking my url ID querie but what else should I consider for this simple application?.
You should know that since I built it with ADDT, its not modular, most of the code is per page(as Dreamweaver normally does) and I control all user limitations (like # of image uploads) with on the page “IF” statements.
I realize this is not great efficiency or ideal code writing, but it is the limitation for my skills until I learn OOP better. Then I can master PhpFox or Elgg.
I appreciate any and all comments before I waste any more time on my own social network application.
Thanks everyoneHi zzipper7,
...until I learn OOP better. Then I can master PhpFox or Elgg.
IMHO this *is* the answer to your "can you think of any limitations" question
My question is, do you know or can you think of any limitations that I should consider before putting any more time into my ADDT application?
the main limitation to worry about is, that ADDT currently isn´t compatible with PHP 5.3. Other than this it´s clear that applications built with ADDT only provide comparatively basic "web 2.0" (aka AJAX) features except for a handful of components such as the form controls -- AJAX features which are supposed to provide additional functionality will have to be added manually, and it´s up to you (and your application´s "audience") to decide if you can live with this limitation or if your application should provide all those AJAX bells & whistles which would be hard to integrate into ADDT applications.
I know(through reading quite a bit on security) that I’ll need to simplify my url’s with http rewrites, to keep mean people from hacking my url ID querie...
Well, if I wanted, I could also change a "pretty URL" to something completely absurd and see if you - the developer - did provide a "oops, this page is not available" custom HTTP 404 error page
However, in case your ADDT driven application does what you want it do do, and in case a 3rd party application such as PhpFox is too hard to learn, you might still consider sticking with what you´ve built so far. In my opinion the real value of any web application is the degree of control which you, the developer, is able to exercise -- and in case you do know your ADDT driven application inside out while struggling with getting 3rd party scripts to work for you, I personally think the case is clear.
Cheers,

Friends of Digital Workflow, especially photographers,
I'm just about to buy all new studio equipment.
I have two threads to my question:
1. Want some input about iMac vs Mac Pro (with a 27' monitor), which monitor system do you prefer?
2. I am Guru level in the Creative Suite but have little knowledge base for working with Aperature. Want some feed back about pros and cons of the workflow.
I'm also investing in X-Rite Color Suite for Print so that cameras, monitors, printers and projectors may be calibrated. I've used Gretag equipment for years and know profiling quite well. This is an important issue for knowledge about how profiles interface with Aperature.
I appreciate any and all comments.
Merci,
Frederick Park
North Carolina
PS You are welcome to request my personal email or phone number if you feel a lengthy discussion is an option.Hi Frederick,
You're spending a lot of money. I will add my 2¢ -- -- but you must, as I assume you know, fully research your options.
Environment:
Start with your workspace (inc. lighting) and your clothes.
Screen:
The iMac screens are lovely, but not, from what I hear, monitor-grade accurate. For critical color work, use NEC or Eizo monitors. I use NEC, with their SpectraView II software and an X-Rite ColorMunki photospectrometer. At the time, this was the least expensive color-calibrated workflow.
Printer:
Epson's are great, imho. I use a 3880 in my studio and rent a 9900 by the hour when needed. I have read of problems (iirc) with one of the printers in the 7000 line, however. The take-home lesson that I filed in my brain was, "If you're going to spend the money on the 7000 line, just get the 9000 line."
Aperture workflow:
Aperture is a fantastic workflow tool. Since you are adept with PS, you should set PS as your external editor. Use Apertures formidable tools for storing and organizing your Images, and its robust editing tools for either all your proofing, or all but your most demanding editing needs. That said, allow a good bit of time to get the feel of Aperture. It is not at all like Bridge. But your important choice is which RAW converter you want to use. There is, imho, no reason to use Aperture if you are going to use Adobe's (or anyone else's) RAW converter.
Good luck!

A ? for Ralph Johns or anyone else that could offer a viable explanation.
First of all I would like to thank all of you who spend your personal time here helping us out with these issues. You answer the same questions time and again or at least point the requesters in the direction of the previously posted answers. There is however one recurring issue that I am actually facing right now and I wonder whether someone could offer a viable explanation as to what is happening or why.
I have multiple Macs but primarily use either a 1.5 ghz G4 desktop or my 667 ghz tibook for my iChat conferences. My mother is also using a 1.5 ghz G4 desktop. Both are on OS 10.4.7 patched right up. I bought her a brand new iSight and connected it right out of the box. Without altering any settings or opening any ports on the modem or router, I was able to have iChat conferences with my mom.
Suddenly one day I am no longer able to chat (audio or video) text works.
Now whether she initiates or I initiate the conference we both get notifications of the impending conference but then a communication error occurs and she gets a message from iChat telling her she did not respond, and I get the same message indicating that I did not respond.
After much reading on this topic, in this forum I have found many similar stories, some have been resolved by deleting the preferences files associated with iChat some look like they may have needed to alter the configs of either modems or routers. In any event nothing really explains why something that was working without any alteration to config files or the opening of futher ports, just ceases to work.
There has to be a plausible, and explainable reason why.
Is it corruption at some level? Is it communication, or lack thereof? Although I think not because the application recognizes the fact that someone wants to confer with you.
Any thoughts or postulations would be much appreciatedYou've asked my question - why did it work one day and not the next? The people I want to connect with can all connect with some people but not others. My brother and I all of a sudden cannot connect Wisconsin to Arkansas no matter what we try. We've done it all, down to re-installs of 10.4.7. We're iChat veterans, and all of a sudden we're feeling like neophytes.
Oddly, my son can connect the 3 of us together no problem. What is it that makes some connections impossible? Have any of the major backbones changed rules anywhere? Is AOL messing with anything? Why is Apple not acknowledging any of this?
Whatever the gremlin is I know it has nothing to do with my computer or network up to my IP (Time Warner). Might they be a common denominator?

There is no Apple provided duplicate remover application. You must have bought a third-party application. Which application is it?
