FontExplorerXPro issue after reinstall

After reinstalling the FEXP on a brand new Mac Book with Yosemite, I can see all my fonts perfectly divided into sets as well as the sets' names exactly like on the previous machine. Unfortunately, these sets contain only "dead links" to the fonts, which are now written in red and the font description says UNAVAILABLE. These fonts can eventually be found in the "Fonts" set and activated. Is there any possibility on how I could recreate or relink these dead links without manually sorting all +10.000 fonts into their sets again?

Hi Laura
The problem lies in the 1.2 reinstall, which may have altered some of the core OS X files, hence the error message about "localized string not found". I came across this very same problem when attempting to help someone reinstall Safari 1.3.2. That thread is found here. The resolution in that thread was easy because the original poster had Safari Panther installed on a second machine. I'm posting this reference so you'll get a sense why you can't install 1.3+
There are a number of ways to approach this problem, however, the easiest path may be to reinstall the operating system, using Archive & Install.
Do you live near an Apple store? If you do, someone at the Genius Bar can help you with the reinstall process.

  • HP Photsmart 3210 All in One printers issues after reinstalling software/ Vista 32 bit

    Help please!  After troubleshooting and no results, I did the uninstall and reinstall, however, when I plugged in the USB cable, it didn't recognize that I had plugged it in, so I used another cable and still nothing. One of the error messages I did receive said, Cannot complete installation without Registry keys and to the left of the box were:
    slbcsp.dll
    sccbase.dll
    gpkcsp.dll
    Enum
    I have no idea what to do, also My HP Print Diagnostic Program which I have used frequently no longer lists my printer. As far as I can tell the printer is installed or at least up to the point where I finished installation without the USB. The Icon for HP Solution Center is still on my desktop but when I try to open it it says, " No HP devices have been detected, HP Solution Center will now close.  But HP Photosmart Essential 3.5 can open and operate.  The icon in the lower right hand of the screen for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor is present so I don't know what I need to do.    I can print a test page directly from the printer screen but cannot scan, it says No Scan Options, refer to device documentation to troubleshoot. 
    As you can see, I think I have tried and utilized every possible solution to troubleshoot what is wrong and cannot figure it out. 
    I'm not exactly Ms Computer but can follow simple instructions if someone could help me, could the USB port on the printer have died?
    Thank you for your help, I hope I have given the correct information to help sove this problem while I still have hair left.....

    Many thanks for your reply.  I did try all of your suggested solutions and I am afraid none woked for more than an hour or two and then I had the error printing message back again. I suspect it may be a problem with by BT Router and despite hours of calls with them, we have got no further, but they have  despatched a new router to see if that might be the cause. When printing works (sometimes it doesn't for days - until today i had been nearly a week without any printing and last night I went out and bout a PC to HP pronter cable in desperation.  That does work Ok, but is a temporary work around as it cannot be used by more than one PC at a time.  Today, with the BT engineer on the phone, we tried everything we could think of, including static IP addressing, and nothing would work. After we finished, I deleted the printer from the network and re-installed it again and both cabled and wireless connection to the router started working again. However, this has happened sometimes before and then stops again later. I have deleted and re-installed HP drivers so many times over the last 8 weeks, I have lost track of the number of times, changed router configurations, but the same problem either re-occurs or doen't work at all. The HP Printer can see the Router name and its IP Address, even when the Error Printing message appears on my laptop, but when that occuts, the PC cannot see the HP Printer via the Router.  This is why I have been thinking the Router might be causing the fault. If you have any thoughts on this, I would be most grateful for any advice,  But at the moment, my hopes are that a new Router, which is due to arrive next Monday or Tuesday, may help !!!! Thanks again. Colin Faragher

  • Mac Mini boot issue after reinstalling original RAM

    Hi,
    So i am having issues with my 2012 Mac Mini i5 with 4gb of RAM(2x2Gb).  I wanted to upgrade my RAM and unfortunately i keep getting stuck at the Apple logo screen with the progress/loading bar.  The bar gets up to around 40-50% and then my mini just shuts down. So one fix action i took was to reinstall the original RAM, nope that didn't do it.  Next i reset the PRAM and same issue, I am stuck now and have no idea what to do next short of tossing this thing off the building.  as you can see its a bit frustrating, so any and all help would be very much appreciated. Thank you

  • Issues after reinstall

    hey folks - i haven't been around much lately, mostly because arch runs so well and trouble free i haven't had any issues in months! i love this OS.
    i recently had a hard drive crash though (shouldn't have tried moving it when it was on -- basically trashed a 10G partition with bad sectors ), so i switched to another hard drive and decided to just reinstall arch to get a fresh system.
    the good news is that i fixed the bad fonts i was having. it was a hinting/aa problem b/c of having an LCD, i believe. the changes weren't working in /etc/fonts.conf, but putting them in ~/.fonts.conf did the trick! the config file is on my website if anyone has an LCD and wants to try it. the improvement is awesome.
    i have some other issues i can't fix, though, maybe someone can help me out:
    #1 - no CD-ROM access as user. i added user to the optical group, i changed the permissions on /dev/cdroms/* even to 777, changed the owner to the user -- nothing is working. fstab entry is:
    /dev/cdroms/cdrom0     /mnt/cd   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
    yet when i try to load an audio cd in xmms, or add /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and /mnt/cd in xmms libcdaudio.so settings, or do a "check drive," i get a "failed to open device, permission denied" error. audio works as user, and cd works as root, so i don't know what i'm missing.
    #2 - recording: when i record something, it appears to make the recording, but then on playback it's just an empty null file. mic is on (to the point of feeding back, even), lines are on, everything is on. but no sound on playback. i've tried it with rec, and recording in audacity, with same results. i've played back with play, mpg321, and xmms -- nothing.
    #3 - mozilla helper apps - i can't set images to open automatically with eog, it keeps defaulting to the gimp. i don't want to open the gimp everytime i click on an 8k gif file! but editing the helper app doesn't work -- it says "mozilla is set up to handle this internally," etc. and it won't default to my preference. the same thing for some media files that i want to open with different apps.
    i went into about:config and turned off the entry that says "plugin: override internal types," but it didn't work. at least i usually get the d.box that lets me choose eog everytime (or save to disk, etc.), but the check box that says "do this automatically each time" is blanked out.
    those are the main ones. sorry so trivial, but arch doesn't really seem to have many major problems to complain about. and i actually do need to be able to record and have access to my cd-rw, so i guess that's not so trivial. the mozilla thing is mostly an annoyance. thanks!

    Yes, it records only the noise.
    Maybe you have to enable some other device than AC97?
    Maybe you have to set it for Mic control (which should by default be Mic1)?
    What soundcard do you exactly have?
    Do you have only 1 soundcard or are you sure if the one you want to record from is the default one?

  • Password issue after reinstalling OS X and time machine recovery

    I recently installed a new SSD drive in my unibody macbook (6.1). Installing OS X leopard worked fine. Than recovered my time machine copy, (I was runnng OS X Mavericks). The recovery from time machine did not show any errors, so I assume it went well. When I rebooted my macbook, I saw my existing Macbook-useraccount and my computer asked for my user-account-password.
    Problem: When I typed my user account password, it keeps returning with the "invalid password" message (I tried my Apple (iTunes) user ID password as well, but nothing seems to work.
    Any suggestions how to solve this? Thanks!!

    If it's at 10.6.8, you can either redownload Mavericks in the App Store, or... sorry, I forgot what the other option might be!
    Try re-installing the big 10.6.8 Combo...

    I am having sporadic issues after new hard drive install and recovery using Time Machine. The same sluggish response, start up screen pixelating...If I reinstall Lion will it wipe out other applications? My HD was formatted and partitioned correctly, I have a late 2009 iMac.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • IPhone syncing issues after iTunes upgrade

    Hi
    I just upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 for Mac. During the install I got a kernel panic and had to restart. iTunes seems to be installed fine. When I connect my iPhone I get messages like "some content will not be copied to the iPhone as this computer is not authorized" or such like. So now several apps, videos and music has been wiped from the iPhone.
    I tried authorizing the computer but I just get "This computer is already authorized".
    there does not seem to be any particular link between the erased content. Some was purchased on the Mac and some on the iPhone, all from the iTunes store. Before I updated iTunes everything synced fine.
    I can d/l the apps again direct to the iPhone but I can't find a way to get the missing music and videos back on the iPhone. Very annoying.
    Would re-installing iTunes help?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Try highlighting the one of the songs that will not sync in iTunes> cilck File> Get Info, check the account name and verifying you are authorizing the computer with correct account.
    If the issue persists, try removing the SC Info folder as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    If you still see the issue after removing the SC Info folder, try reinstalling iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

  • Troubleshooting after reinstalling the software that came with my macbook

    Hi, I'm a new user of mac products and my macbook crashed refusing to start up (it would just turn on and keep loading till froze).
    I followed exactly the steps "Problem meet solution" in the little manual and had to use the Mac OS X Install Disk 1.
    The disk utility repaired the HD volume (error found: incorrect block count for file flatfile.db - should have been 708 instead of 354), then still couldn't start up on HD. Did it all over again, repaired HD again (this time error: incorrect block count for file .store.db - should have been 5202 instead of 2601), but this time went further selecting "continue" and reinstalling Mac OS X from the discs that came with my macbook. Reinstalled - successfully finally - by chosing the option "previous settings archived in new file".
    The only problem i had was at login ... it would not recognize my user password... which was the same one since i first turn on my new bought macbook. Anyways, i used again the disc 1, selected change my password and this time i managed to sign in with the new one (same old user).
    1)NOW, question: do i have to re-update my software? Because before I had Mac OS X 10.5.2 (i always kept my computer up to date) and now, after reinstalling the software I have Mac OS X 10.5
    or i should be able to reactivate them from the Previous Systems file (in this case how do i do that?
    2) Can't figure still out my master password that unlocks the file vault plus i can't activate again the root admin user from Directory Utility ... i click it but doesn't do anything. Why is this and how can be sorted out?
    my macbook details:
    Model Name: MacBook
    Model Identifier: MacBook3,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MB31.008E.B02
    SMC Version: 1.24f2
    Could someone help me with this? Please note it's my first time troubleshooting a computer ever and that my knowledge is not that vast in the field ... so please use simple steps/terms that i can follow.
    Thank you,
    Laurie

    Thank you very much for answering so prompt to my questions.
    1) yes, i will take all the updates. and ok, i won't touch the previous systems file
    2) in regards to master password ... i tried all the passwords i ever used. not sure it's just "forgetting". Reason: as I mentioned before: The only problem i had after reinstalling the software was at login ... it would not recognize my user password... (and I add, nor the master password) which was the same one since i first turn on my new bought macbook.
    As i couldn't sign in, used again the disc 1 to reset my administrator password and it did save but with the notice that i should "use the keychain access to reset the password for users login" .This time i managed to sign in with the new one (same old user). Then I went to the keychain clicked login and changed the password for keychain login. Did i do good? do I have to change something else. please let me know as don't really know.... i just follow help advice.
    3)in regards to root password ... i had it also before ... using help on "security" issue ... as i connect to different networks ... i read that one could help ... please understand that i'm learning as i go, as this time i don't have someone else to do those things for me. so why doesn't it activate anymore? and why would it be better not to activate it?
    4)speaking of learning, from my initial post where i posted the errors that my disk utility found ... what do u think caused my computer to freeze? i was browsing on safari facebook as well as I had both yahoo messenger and skype opened... first the messenger froze, then crushed, then i restarted it , then froze, then all the rest froze, without responding to force quit.
    5) after reinstalling the software, i still have yahoo messenger and other applications.... is that safe to use now? they are still in my applications
    and last 6) did I do everything correct when my computer would not start up?
    thank you

  • I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

    I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. The mobile carrier signal as well as WIFI suddenly drops zero and are then restored automatically. Sometimes i cannot conenct to WIFI even standing infront of WIFI router. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

    Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
    1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
    2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
    3. Do a soft and hard reset.
    4. Reset network settings.
    5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
    6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
    I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Crashes After Reinstall

    Hello Adobe Community,
    I come to you asking for help, my After Effects CS4 stopped working after reinstalling Leopard, I already reinstalled my Suite and Runned the Clean Up Script and still not working, first I launch the App and shows me the following error: "After Effects has encountered an error: [/Chinchillada/pro/ext/adobe/MediaCore/MedialLayer/VideoFilterHost/Make/Mac/../../Src/AEP luginVideoFilterModule.cpp-107]" then I click continue and then it shows me another error: "After Effects can't continue: An Output contract violation has ocurred!" then it shows another error: "After Effects warning: Failed to initialize mediacore" then it shows this "After Effects warning: Media Core is not correctly initialized" then it launches and freezes and shows that the app quitted unexpectedly, I'm sure that the app is dead but I already reinstalled with no success.

    After Effects worked and runned perfectly Please Help!
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Sorry you are experiencing problems with After Effects.
    I have a couple of questions....
    - did you install from a download, or a CD? if from a download, please download again, as their may have been issues
    - did you update it to v 9.02?
    - did you have a previous beta version on your computer?
    - you said you reinstalled Leopard - did you do a clean install? (ie reformatting your harddrive and starting clean)
    I have experienced issues on the mac with a variety of different applications is I do a 're-install" vs a clean install.
    Finally, are you aware that the minimum RAM requirements for AE CS4 is2GB
    So since you only have 1GB, it could be a RAM  issue.
    If you decided you want to try reinstalling before doing the more difficult task (reformatting Mac OS X with a clean install), I would run the cleanup script first, redownload, install, and then update.
    Here's the link: <http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html>
    good luck,

  • Won't open after reinstalling twice get a page with a green puzzle but it won't stay open long enough to read it.

    After working with mcafee for 2 hours on a server host issue they did something that got rid of the site advisor on firefox and when they tried to fix that problem they couldn't get firefox to open after reinstalling it twice!
    Help...i want firefox back! i'm using internet explorer right now as my default and i've always disliked it!
    please help...brian

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    i'm having issues with reinstalling my itunes.it says that my apple mobile device faild to start and will not go any further

    Hey there CrazyTC,
    It sounds like you are unable to re install iTunes because the Apple Mobile Device service failed to start. Try restarting it with the following article:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
    Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Click the Windows Start button .
    In the Start Search field type Services.
    In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
    Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
    After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
    After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
    Then if the issue is resolved, set the service to start Automatically with the same article.
    If it is still not working, use these steps from the same article to completely uninstall iTunes and its associated applications and install a fresh copy.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS
    If the issue continues after restarting AMDS, then you'll need to remove and reinstall AMDS and iTunes.
    Completely uninstall AMDS, iTunes, and all Apple software. Click the appropriate links below for steps:
    Windows XP
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Restart the computer.
    Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes. Installing iTunes will also install AMDS.
    Restart the computer.
    Start iTunes and connect the device. It should be recognized properly in Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Safari, App Store Issues after updating to 10.7.2

    I have been running my imac that came preinstalled with Lion
    I am having this wierd issue after updating to 10.7.2 recently
    When i run Safari, App Store, Itunes, i can see its loading..
    but after 2 hours its still loading.
    It just seems to be stuck and its not the Beach ball.. So i dont think it hanged
    Its not a network issue as well, since i am typing this on Firefox, which is running perfectly
    What could be the reason?

    I'm having the same issue on my iMac. I've also noticed the rear of the left side is getting a lot hotter than normal.

  • App Store Issues After Mavericks Update

    Hi. I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks yesterday.
    When I run the App Store app, it shows that IMovie is available for an update. When I click the update button, I get a message saying my IMac (bought in late 2007) doesn't have the video card requirements for the new version of IMovie. The problem is that every time I run the App Store app, it still lists IMovie as an update. Is there a way to prevent it for continuing to list IMovie as an update?
    I also own IWork '09. After I updgraded to Mavericks yesterday, I was able to download the new Pages, Numbers and Keynote for free. Apparently, the download also slightly updated the versions from IWork '09.  Today, I ran the App Store app again, and it redownloaded the updated '09 versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote. I have no idea why it downloaded them all again. Is there any way to stop it from doing it again?
    Thanks.

    I had this issue on 3 different macs when upgrading to Mavericks. 
    I resolved it by deleting the Compressor app and the "Compressor" and "Apple Qmaster" folders from Library\Application Support\, emptying the trash, rebooting the computer and reinstalling from the App Store.
    Unfortunately this did delete all of my encoding presets and qmaster cluster/settings but the app is up and running again.
    Also Get Info on the Compressor app after reinstalling and disable App Nap.
    Good luck!

  • Lock button issue after update

    So I updated my iPhone 5 to the 7.0.2 update this past Sunday and now my lock botton is not responding when I press it. I have to hit it a few times to get it to respond now.
    It is NOT a hardware issue since I did not have that issue since ownership. It only started with this issue after I did the update to the 7.0.2 software. 7.0 it was completely fine. (It was an OTA update from 7.0 to 7.0.2)
    I have not done the, "erase settings and reset" yet so everything can be reinstalled. But I am wondering if anyone has come across this issue and found a solution without doing the factory reset.

    Just quickly pointing out that you said "It is NOT a hardware issue", yet, you post this under "iPhone Hardware". Nice!
    Check for any and all debrie that could cause such a thing to happen. Other than that, best bet is to backup via iTunes AND iCloud, then do a full restore via iTunes.
    Good luck!
