FontAgent Pro - Dead or Alive?

Dear All,
we're about to purchase a bunch of software for some new workstations, including additional font management software.
We've been using FAP 4.03 quite happily for a while now, but heres been no updates or new V5 for at least 2 years now, so just wondering if anyone knows if FAP is still alive and kicking and a V5 could surface sometime soon. Just don't want to spend cash on software thats no longer being developed thats all.
Any help apreciated.
Cheers

Program Error in new install w/FontAgent Pro

Just built a new Leopard 10.5.4 system on my new 2008 Mac Pro 8 core, got my CS3 apps installed & activated. Opened up my first file in Photoshop, fooled around a bit & closed it. Everything fine, but the file needed a font that was not installed. So I opened FontAgent Pro & installed the CS3 plugin, reopened Photoshop to see if it would load my font automatically. FAP tried to load the font, but was cut off by the Program Error dialog. Tried a couple more times to open this file, no dice. This is a brand new Mac, virgin Leopard install, 10 GB RAM, no reason I can see for this error. Your suggestions would be most welcome.

Gary,
Just out of curiosity I looked at my Photoshop CS3 Plugin folder and found two FontAgent plugins: FontAgent Pro.plugin and FontAgent Pro Helper.plugin. As my auto activation works without issue I wondered if you had both plugins installed?

FontAgent Pro auto activation fails

I went over this with Insider Software. They are aware of it & say it's they best they can do right now. In other words, it's another Mountain Lion problem. FontAgent Pro is supposed to auto activate all fonts used by a Photoshop document when the document is opened. This stopped working after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. On the phone with Erik Tollefsrud, he says sometimes it happens if you just wait a little longer, but most of the time, you have to close & reopen the document. I have personally seen it fail even after reopening the document. I wonder if Apple even cares about its pro users any more.

Noel,
Maybe it is just me, but it seems that most software companies are concentrating on mobile devices, and users with "real computers," are SOL.
OK, much can be done effectively on an iPad, or similar, but editing Images on a phone, is beyond my feeble comprehension.
If one wants e-mail, or Web browsing, plus some social media, then the mobile devices are fine, though I did have to use my wife's iPad for some serious e-mails w/ attachments, in London recently. That was really painful, at least for me. Mark my vote as "not a fan."

Is DVD Studio Pro dead?

(I posted this at the Final Cut areas as well)
So Final Pro X has been released and there's not a word about DVD Studio Pro anywhere.
Does this mean it has been dropped, or won't be updated anymore?
My suggestion is for Apple to sell DVD Studio Pro as a standalone app (once again) on the App Store. I believe it's still valid and has some life in the future. I have sent this request to Apple feedback, and suggest that anyone who agrees with me should do the same.
Does anyone else care about DVD Studio Pro anymore?

I'm with you all DVD Pro IS a great app and dropping the ball with Blu-Ray was the first mistake. (The other is not sticking a Blu-Ray burner in the MacPro by default.
Now I love Apple as much as the next man but there not interested in pros any more. They want the hip kid ipod image. They want to be cool. They want to churn out Idiot style apps for the masses.
But look at the history of the AXE!
Xserve RAID - Dead
Shake 4 - Dead
DVD Studio Pro - (Lets face it Dead)
Final Cut Server - (Dead)
Xserve - (Dead)
Final Cut Pro - (Dead - cos lets face it FCP X is really a downgrade or an iMovie update)
And if you look at most other companies the good stuff starts on the high end stuff and filters down to the low end.
But not apple
iPhoto has had faces and the like before aperture
the imacs get Thunderbolt before the MacPros
And worst of all there trying to turn the MacOS into iOS.......
God help us all!
It's lucky foe Apple that Windows is still S**t.

Fontagent Pro 5

For those who care:

Fontagent Pro 6 Pluging Not Loading

I Have Installed Adobe CC2014 and Found that the plugins for Fontagent pro work with Illustrator and Photoshop   but when i Launch Indesign i get a startup alert saying
Adobe InDesign cannot load the FontAgentPro.InDesignPlugin plug-in. The FontAgentPro.InDesignPlugin plug-in requires the 9.0 version of InDesign. Please contact the vendor to get a compatible version of FontAgentPro.InDesignPlugin.
Show this alert again?
To be fair it saying that for all my plugins which do not use the extension manager any plugin which uses the extension manager works fine in Indesign CC2014
I have contacted FAP but it will take a while for a response    It is strange that the plugin should work with two of the programmes   but not indesign Have followed some instructions about uninstalling and reinstalling adobe Indesign CC 2014 but this has had no effect
Anyone else having this issue a

Kind Of Gathered That just thought it was strange that the   plugins worked with Photoshop and illustrator.
Thanks any way

Mac Book Pro Dead - Completely Unresponsive

First to give a little background info - my Mac Book Pro is 13 months old - I missed the Apple Care Deadline by a week due to a mistake on my part. Upon purchase I received 3 faulty machines prior to this one. I had put the deadline in my calendar based on when I got a functional machine, rather than my purchase date - my fault. I tried to beg Apple Care for mercy a mere 2 days after my actual deadline and just got passed from associate to associate until one would finally just disconnect me. (This happened 3 times).
On to the saga of last night. I'm working at home, running iTunes, Mail, and Photoshop. I'm working on a layout in Photoshop - nothing very taxing on the system at all. The only things connected to the machine were the power adapter and my Wacom tablet. As I was editing a photo, all of a sudden the computer just shut off. There were no beeps, no pops, no cracks, nothing. Just dead, gone, nothingness. I feared the worst immediately due to the no Apple Care. Unfortunately, I fear even more than my initial fears were accurate.
I'm writing this post to see if anyone has experienced anything similar and has come up with a solution. I've searched the forums but don't seem to find anything but the random shut off issue (which this doesn't seem to be as those systems would at least reboot).
So far I've tried:
1) removing the battery, and powering up using only AC power
2) resetting the PMU
3) leaving it over night without power connected and the batter removed and then re-connecting to AC power
Nothing has produced any results at all. Any help/advice is appreciated. I have a feeling that I'm pretty screwed as it seems like a power issue or a fried logic board - neither of which sound like cheap repairs.
Thanks much.
Andy

Well, no official word yet, however there I do have news to report. The Genius at the Apple Store (Michael @ Ridgedale Mall, MN) was VERY helpful and reassuring that he didn't think it was a huge issue. He doesn't think its a logic board or anything that in depth - his initial thoughts were that a wire simply came loose and thats why it will charge, but we get no activity when the power button is pushed.
I also explained to him about my fiasco with even getting this machine in the first place (this is my 3rd machine - first two arrived damaged out of the box), and they had it on record that I had tried to buy apple care within the year time frame of when I actually received the satisfactory model (this one). Plus the fact that this is no where near my first Apple purchase and that ALL of my other products have AppleCare plans.
He gave me some pointers and told me to call AppleCare today and explain the situation, explain that I'd been misinformed from various channels, etc. Well it worked, and I now have AppleCare on the machine as of today.
I should know what repair is needed in the next day, and hopefully have the machine back early next week.
Needless to say this experience once again renewed my faith in Apple and the support they offer loyal customers.

Sept 2012 Macbook Pro dead pixel issue

Hi,
My Macbook pro from Sept 2012 has recently had a major issue with pixels dying, around 10-15 in a few weeks. My Macbook is out of warranty as over a year old so I am wondering what my options are? I don't believe the dead pixels are a fault of my own as I have seen a lot of problems with this issue online.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately dead pixels cannot be resuscitated. The solution is a replacement of the display.
Had you purchased Apple Care, the display, if it was outside the Apple pixel display standards, may have been replaced for free.
Ciao.

Dead or Alive?

I transfered a lot of data from my PC last days... something like 300GB since Sunday.
I finished the transportation and made shutdown.
I come back home and my MBP don't restart. Only tha apple logo screen and the waiting icon moving.
I tried ALL apple manual suggestions (all keyboard combinations, PRAM reset, etc) but NOTHING to do...
Then decided to put Mac OSX test.
The test can't find any problem.
Decided to reinstall Mac OS and started with the CD...
Now that's the strange part: the HITACHI HD was found but I can't erase it... the system reply me something like: "An error ocurred on erase process"
OK, I suppose my HD was dead................
Second strange issue: I never ejected CD from eject button, it was unusable BUT it did when I boot again.........................
..........................................AND
here I AM!!!! MY MBP IS ALIVE!!!!
I was totally annoyed now...
The first thing appeared: "do you authorize mDNSresponder to access network?"
The second question: "do you authorize nmbd to access network"?
Date and Time was reseted to 2001 0h00 and the system alert me that I need to set...

Mac OSX Disk Utility answered my HD is OK

HT2494 Mac book pro dead

I plugged in an Iphone usb cable to charge my iphone and as soon as the usb touched the port, the macbook pro went dead. The laptop will not turn on, the charging light does not turn on. Completely Dead. Hoping that I can recover the data.
i copied this from someones site and they all didnt know how to fix it, i have the same problem.

Hi EmManna3i,
If your MacBook Pro will not power on at all, I would suggest following the steps in this article to get it up and running -
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367
Resetting the System Management Controller, as mns579 suggests, is one of the steps but there are a few others that may assist you as well.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

So is Soundtrack Pro dead now?

No update and not even mentioned on Apple's website - I take it this is their way of letting us know the app is dead?
Too bad it never got to a usable state, it definitely had some potential but never made it past a rough draft of an app. Guess it's time to look at Audition or get the hardware-free version of PT.

If you don't immediately require multi-track editing, you might try Peak Studio – the new edition of Peak from BIAS. It now includes all the audio restoration and mastering plug-ins that previously came with Peak Pro XT, so the power for the price is significant. BIAS is working on a multi-channel companion app that will be free for all Peak Studio users. In the meantime, you'd be getting a great editing and mastering tool that has come a long way since Peak DV was first bundled with Final Cut. The power of the editing and plug-ins alone is well worth it – especially with the new declipper feature – really great for repairing digitally clipped audio files. Here's what Mix magazine had to say about it:
http://mixonline.com/gear/newproducts/musikmesse_2011_show_report/index.html
"BIAS Peak Studio XT
One of the most amazing things I saw demo'd was the new Peak Studio line. Not only has the company made a number of improvements in Version 7 of Peak Pro, but the Peak Studio XT suite comes bundled with full editions of SoundSoap 2, SoundSoap Pro 2 and the impressive Master Perfection Suite in AU, RTAS and VST formats, allowing you to use these awesome plug-ins in your other DAW applications. What really saved my skin at Musikmesse was Peak Pro’s new feature called Declipper. I was shooting Web videos with my iPhone 4 and using the iRig microphone from IK Multimedia, a handheld condenser microphone that looks and feels like a famous-brand dynamic mic. I was constantly reminding the people being filmed to hold the mic low and not eat the thing, but inevitably it would drift up toward their mouth while talking, causing the audio input to clip. Thanks to Declipper—which looks in front of and behind the clipped signal and then interpolates the correct volume and fixes the clipping—I was able to salvage several videos that otherwise would not have been usable. Not only was that handy for this show report’s videos, but the ability to now save an otherwise awesome take while recording by removing a few wayward clips made this the most impressive software technology I saw."
Just to clarify, the plug-ins he references ARE included also in the Peak Studio edition – it's simply that with XT, they will also work in other compatible AU, VST, and RTAS host applications.
Here's a link to find out more: http://www.bias-inc.com/products/peakStudio/
There's also a 14 day free trial you can check out: http://www.bias-inc.com/downloads/freeTrials/index.php?product=peakStudio
Hope this helps.

6163 Pro dead??

Hey all,
I've been running my 6163 Pro v2.0 board (bios v3.a) for a few years with no problems at all. Last night my monitor suddenly went blank. I tried to restart but got nothing.
I opened up the case and tried to restart again. I saw that the diagnostic led's were stuck at 2) green 3) red 4) green 5) red. According to the manual, it has something to do with the VGA bios or the card not installed correctly.
I'm running a ATI AIW 32MB AGP card. I tried to reseat the card but the same thing happened upon restarting, lights stuck at green - red - green - red.
I've tried a PCI video card, same results. I've tried clearing the CMOS (several times), replacing the battery, pulled every card out of the board except the video card, one stick of memory, two sticks of memory, changed the power supply, and even tried different processors and still no luck.
Is my BIOS to blame or is the board just dead?? I can't try to recover or reflash as the system won't even POST.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
yawny

System:
Intel celeron 1.8 Ghz
Matrox G400 dualhead 32MB
Windows 2000
Mainbord: MSI 645 something (6 months old)
Problem:
I was playing space cadet in windows 2000 when the system suddenly hung up. The picture went into bizzare patterns and i restarted. It froze again and I restarted. Now there is a serie of 9 beeps when poweering on the computer and the beep starts when 2 and 4 are red on the bracket. It stops beeping and 1 2 3 are red while 4 is green. The monitor is blank. Something with the videocard? NO. Tried another videocard, Hercules Prophet 64 MB Geforce 2 and that didn´t work either. Tried to unplug every card except for the videocard and it didn´t work. The funny thing is that it DID started ONCE during boot up but it zone froze again when listening to music.
What is teh matter with my computer?

MacBook Pro dead, need help urgently please!

My mac has died. It's really urgent to fix because I have a degree project to submit in 2 days! Many thanks in advance for help;
Yesterday my mac froze up ( nothing would move appart from the cursor ). I hit the off button and my mac takes about 15-20 minutes to load up. When it does load its veeerrrryyyy sluggish and the beach ball whirls. It also popped up with a circle with a line through it, its stopped doing that since turning on and off a few times.. I tried reinstalling lion from command R at restart. This worked but didn't fully erase everything and I still have the same issue. I now can't go to the recovery menu on restart it just goes straight to log in so I am unable to fully erase everything.
Computer specs:
MacBook pro mid 2009 running 10.7.3 Lion.
2.66 dual core
8 gig ram
320 hard drive.
Any help would be most appreciated!!!
Many thanks!

The program you download is meant to be downloaded and run from OS X on a working Lion Mac (not your sick one) to copy the Recovery HD Partiton of their Lion Mac to the USB thumb drive (properly formatted) then you take it to the sick Mac and can hold the option key boot off of it.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/08/lion-recovery-disk-assistant-tool-makes-external- lion-boot-recovery-drives/
Once you get your computer booted off the Recovery USB, you connect a blank external drive and install Recovery HD and OS X Lion onto that from the Recovery USB using your AppleID and password.
Once you got that done, then you hold the option key down and boot the computer off the external drive, which the internal drive can be seen when you do Finder > Go menu > Computer and click on your internal boot drive.
Then you open the Users folder and copy your User to the external drive your booted from.
Once you have gotten your User folder copied off the machine, you can choose to run the comptuer off the external drive until your ready to have it fixed.
If you can't handle all this, then call a local Mac/PC computer person to do it for you, as Apple may just replace the drive and tell you tough luck charlie, you should have made a backup.

2011 MacBook Pro dead not turning on, how do I get all my files off it?

Hi,
I have an early 2011 15" MacBook Pro. Basically it's completely died on me, a few things have been going wrong so I know it's times up. I just want to know how I can get all my photos, documents & files off if it's completely died & won't turn on? Are all my files ect on the hard drive or on amother part of the computer. Any help would be really appreciated as I have a lot of photos of my 2 young children on there which will break my heart to lose.
Thank you in advance for any help
Shelley

Remove the drive from the Mac and place it in an external drive case. You may be able to access the files.
buy yourself an external drive and start backing up, this need not have been a problem.
there is a recall in place on your Mac, for graphics problems, take it to an Apple Store, if yours qualifies there is a free repair available
