Fonts shown as installed by Font Book not available to applications
I have several fonts that Font Book shows as installed that are not available to any of my applications, including Word and Quark Express. These fonts include Arial Bold, Arial Bold Italic, and Arial Italic, all of which I believe were installed as part of OS 10.4, along with several other fonts in the Arial family that are available to my applications. How can I get all my installed fonts to be available to my applications?

HI John,
Try deleting the FontBook pref file: com.apple.fontbook.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag the .plist file from your Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch Word or QE and see if those fonts are available now.
Validating fonts
If fonts are not displayed as expected when you open documents or you cannot open documents, it's possible fonts have been corrupted. You can validate fonts to confirm they are still safe to use, and remove any corrupted fonts you find.
Take care not to remove system fonts, located in /System/Library/Fonts; removing system fonts could cause some applications to quit unexpectedly.
To validate fonts:
Open Font Book and select one or more installed fonts to check.
Choose File > Validate Font.
In the Font Validation window, review the fonts listed for warnings or errors. Use the pop-up menu to display warnings and errors separately, if necessary.
For fonts with warnings or errors, click the disclosure triangle next to the font to see which validation rules show errors.
To remove a corrupted font, click the checkbox next to the font. Make sure fonts you want to keep are not checked. Then click the Remove Checked button.
You can also use the Console utility to troubleshoot problems with installed fonts. In the console.log window, type "font" or a font name (such as "Arial") in the Filter field to find font-related log messages.
You can validate font files before installing the fonts. To do so, in Font Book choose File > Validate Files. Browse to and select a font file to validate and click Open. Font Book displays the Font Validation window and indicates whether it found problems with the font.

I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x. Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications. Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures. In fact, iPhoto indicates that I have zero photos in the library while at the same time indicating the file size as 12.5 GB.
If your old iPhoto version was iPhoto 7, you need to run the iPhoto Library upgrader: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1523
It will install itself in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
Run it, and after that, you should be able to open your iPhoto Library with iPhoto '11. -

Just erased my disk, whent to install Maverick and get : "Not available now" message since yesterday. Can someone help me revive my dead IMac!!
If you are selling or giving away the computer then follow these instructions:
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must
be shut down from inside Windows.
B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right side.
4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be sure
to opt for that.
Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See What to do with iCloud before selling your computer.
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
4. Install OS X.
5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
6. Shutdown the computer.
B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
Utilities window appears.
2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License. -
Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?
You can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that they be added to US store, but ultimately it's the book's publisher that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Are they available in other ebook stores/apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc ? -
My mac air 2011 was stolen, but luckily i got it back. The one who stole it had been using it, so i erased both HD drives. Now it cant get lion x installed because it is not available in the App store. What to do ?

Hello!
I am needing some help. I own a Mac Book Air with OS X 10.7.5. This computer belongs to the school district I teach for, so I do not have permission to do a huge wipe that would uninstall programs such as Word. When I first got my computer, I added all my fonts. I did this by putting them into a fonts folder. The fonts were not all showing up in Microsoft Word, so I was told to use Font Book. All of my fonts show up and are installed in Font Book; however, they do not show up in Word. I have restarted my computer. All the fonts are validated. I have tried almost everything I could think of after researching answers online. Another problem--my bullet points are messed up. When I click the bullet button, instead of an open circle it's an open rectangle. This doesn't concern me as much, but I thought it might help as a clue as to what is wrong. The fonts also do not show up in the Format > Font box.
Also, I want to point out that my colleagues, using the exact same computer, network, etc, are able to download and use all the fonts. They have tried to fix mine, also.
Any help is much appreciated! Maybe there is some way to wipe out my fonts and start clean?
Thanks so much!There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it. -

I think it is essential to set the official ip and the correct hostname in the /etc/hosts file.
Per default there is the loopback IP bound to the hostname and localhost, you should change this to the desired IP.
it should be something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.1.1 yourhost.yourdomain yourhost
Otherwise you will face some other nasty side-effects, with nfs for example.
Hope that helps

Install recovery that is not available in Egypt to laptop model bought from USA
My sister bought to me laptop from USA as she live there. She bought model no:
Pavilion dm4-3050 us Entertainment PC
In the beginning, I seek help from computer technician to create partitions for windows 7 so he formats the hard drive. This is the beginning of the problem. After several months the windows 7 became unresponsive and very slow, so I seek help from the same person. He removed the windows 7 and tried to install another one but all his attempts failed. Since that time my laptop didn't work.
I used HP website to know the cause of this problem. I knew that there is recovery manager and I should have to make refresh or reinstall this recovery but I do not know that before. I hardly reached to HP technical support in Middle East. They guide me to HP service centers in Egypt but all these centers very stupid and helpful because they said that the recovery of this model unavailable with them because my laptop model not available in Middle East. When I come back to HP technical support in Middle East, they said to me to come back to service centers again as they can make contacts with HP technical support in USA and get the recovery of this model but they refused. Accordingly HP technical support in Middle East solve this problem by advice me to return my laptop to USA.
My laptop did not work for 4 months because of mainly my mistake and stupidity and lack of cooperation of HP technical support in Middle East and HP service centers in Egypt.
Please help me as soon as possible.
This question was solved.
View Solution.1- I try to make this order but it is not appear that it is order for recovery media but the title of the order is "order software and driver media" Is that right? YES, that is correct... "Order software and driver media" is the HP Recovery Media.
2- when my sister send the recovery media for me is it easy to install it? YES, it is easy to install... Please see HP PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7) for instructions on using the media.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Network Drives not available in Applications?
Hi,
I have a mcabook pro running leopard and another mac on my network that is not. This other mac has my firewire drive hooked up to it and all my files are saved there. I can access the other computer and drive just fine through the finder but when I am in an application the other computer and the drive are not available when I am trying to open or save a file. Can anyone help? Is there a way to add an icon for my other computer to the dock or to my desktop?That's a large part of the problem. You have more than one font manager on your Mac. If you're not using Font Book, delete it. Then you need to reset its orphaned database so OS X stops trying to control which fonts are, or aren't active according to that data.
To remove Font Book from the hard drive, follow these steps:
1) Open Font Book, and then its preferences. Uncheck the box for "Alert me if system fonts change". Close the preferences and shut down Font Book. Put the Font Book application in the trash and delete it.
2) Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding it until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will reset Font Book's database and clear the cache files in your user account. The main goal in this step is to remove the orphaned Font Book database from the hard drive. With the Font Book application no longer on the hard drive, a new one cannot be created. Which is what we want.
3) Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac. -
Font shown even after all fonts were converted to outlines
For a recent print run my printer asked me to convert all text to outlines. I did this and now when I go to Type > Find Font it does not show any fonts for the document as expected. However when I export this to a print ready PDF, and then see the PDF properties from Adobe Reader it still lists the Helvetica font. I can’t seem to figure out what is going wrong here. Can anyone please help? I’m using InDesign CS5.5.
@hpb1980 – maybe you included some information outside the page's bleed area? Like one or some of the printing marks. To test that, export a blank page with the same settings and see, if Helvetica is embedded…

HP Driver "Can't install because it is not available from Software Update Server"
Proplem: Can't use my HP Officejet 6500 E709n on my MacBook Pro, even using USB connection. I click on sign, get add printer window showing the HP 6500 printer as USB Multifunction. I select and press 'add'. I get 'setting up ...' window. After a while I get the error window, "Can't install the software for the HP Office jet 6500 E709n because it is not currently available from Software Update Server." Only option is cancel.
HP site says that it supports Mountain Lion and the only way to get the driver is through Apple's Software Update.
Apple's site says Mountain Lion supports HP 6500 printer.
The Windows 7 computer on the netword prints fine to it.
I would really like to get this connected. Does anyone have a clue why the driver is not on the Software Update Server what the fix is?
Thank you for the help.Fantastic, Mene1 & John. Thank you. I deleted the HP Folder, deleted trash, reboot, and reinstalled. USB installed like a charm. Was able to print and scan. I even noticed that the Fax printer came up for both USB and 192.168.1.65. I installed the fax printer for the network and it works great without USB.
However, the network for the printer never showed up in the list. I tried IP option and entered the address. It correctly identified the printer in the "use" field. However, when I click on 'add' is has a window that says, "Unable to verify the printer on your network. Unable to contact to '192.168.1.65' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?" I choose Continue, and it creates the printer. Printing, it just sits there trying to connect with the printer. Again, the printer is hardwired into my home network and I am using my AT&T U-verse Wi-Fi connection to my MacBook Pro (which works for Fax on the printer).
Any ideas? -
Why is my book not available in Thailand?
Once your book is online and for sale you can edit which territories it is avalible in. I've heard from a fan in Thailand who wants to buy it but gets the message it isn't avalible to him in Thailand's iTunes store. When I check iTunes Connect and try to enable Thailand it isn't there as an option. Is there anything else I can do to get this person my book?
Maybe I'll just dropbox him a free copy.My book is as much a movie as it is a book. Over 70 minutes of video in it. The file size is 1.2Gb
The Volcan Baru Adventure
I thought about posting the video to youtube or vimeo and embedding the videos in the book. But I figured either way the customer is going to spend time waiting. Wait for the book to download, or wait for the videos to buffer on youtube. I decided to include them in the book so people just had to wait once rather than several times to load the different videos in the book. This way they can read it anywhere and not need an internet connection.
It's an experiment I really don't know what is best.
