Fonts visible but cannot use

Recently I went to use a glyph from Webdings and found that, while the font's characters are all visible in Character Palette and FontBook, I cannot use/insert them. When I try I get this message:
The font you are typing in has been substituted by another.
The font "Webdings"does not contain one or more of the characters you have entered and will be substituted by the font "Last Resort"......
A few days before this happened (though I cannot say there is a cause and effect relationship) I installed Linotype's FontExplorer, copied all fonts into it, and opted to have it clear the font caches as it recommended.
In a third-party font viewer called FontDoc, the characters for Webdings do NOT appear, but are substituted by Lucida Grande. Same with Wingdings 1, 2, &3. It may be true also of other fonts, I have not checked them all. Of course the symbol I need just now is in Webdings and inaccessible, whether I drag it into a doc or use the "Insert with Font" button.
What I have done:
Trashed FontExplorer and all its files.
Repaired Prefs.
I will run Onyx as soon as I finish the document I am working on (and back everything up).
Any other ideas?

I have an iPhone, but cannot use it at this time. So Im trying to text off my iPod, but it only comes up as my email. How do I make it use my iPhone number?

I have an iPhone, but cannot use it at this time. So Im trying to text off my iPod, but it only comes up as my email. How do I make it use my iPhone number?

The iPod will only have a phone numnber for Messages and FaceTime if the same ID is currently being used with an iPhone with iOS 6 and and that ID is used for Messages and faceTime.
There is no way to add a phone number to an iPod otherwise.
Also, on the iPod yoo can only send and receive Messages from other users who use the Apple Messages app.

I just bought a new ipad 2, but cannot use it as it only shows the itunes logo and a cable. This means it's telling me to connect to itunes. I've done this and performed sync, still no way out. I have been told by friends to "unlock" it. Please how?

Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.
Restore iPad
If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

Blackberry curve 9300 connected to wifi but cannot use apps only bb browser

hi guys im new here and its my first time to use blackberry unfortunately for me im very disappointed.. im already connected to wifi but cannot use any application like facebook,twitter,badoo etc.. i didnt try my bb messanger yet but im sure it wont connect as well.. Even my BB app world giving me error message "we cannot connect you to the app world please ensure that your device is connected to a wireless network and try again" what the???? im already connected to a wifi.. and the weirdest thing is that i can browse the internet using the bb browser and watch videos on youtube on the youtube app installed already to the phone.. but again the apps that i installed is not connected..
So what i notice the simple rebooting of the phone wont work i need to remove the battery and wait the phone to load then i can connect to app world but after few minutes... it will give the error message again..
Now im thinking to swap this phone and get another brand if this problem wont be solve whats the use of apps if i cant use it??! i already called my network provider and they told me i need to purchase package for data.. are you kidding me??! i got wifi why should i pay for data!
im sorry for the long message but im so disappointed and wants to solve this issue asap .. thanks..
my phone software:
v 6.0 bundle 2475 (v6.0.0.546)

Hello,
thank you for your message and sorry for the problems you have with your BB.
Have you checked your Firewall Settings and Application Settings, to make sure, that all apps have access to the internet and are not blocked? Also do you use the phone on BIS or BES, meaning do you use it personally or are you connected to a corporate enterprise server? In the last case, their might be restrictions from your server administrator.
I would try to go through all that and see if it works afterwards. Also go and check the application settings to make sure everything is correctly set up there.
The other thing I would look into is your router. Have you restarted your WiFi router as well? Checked on the Firewall there and everything?
As for the datapackage: There are several people here on the forums, complaining, that WiFi does not have priority over mobile data. This means, that if you have a dataplan and activate WiFi, you would still browse using your dataplan and not WiFi, unless you a) either turn off your mobile data connection, which makes you unreachable for calls, sms, etc. or b) if you are a prepaid user, wait until your balance is depleted, in which case the mobile data won't work anymore and you will connect through WiFi.
This is however different and should not affect you. Since you do not have a dataplan (at least that is what I understand from your posting), there is no dataplan to use and hence WiFi would have priority for connection with the net, since it is the only available source.
I would give it a bet, that it has something to do with your phones settings in any way, or with the router itself (though this is probably unlikely).
You can check your firewall settings by doing the following: Browse to your Settings Application or hit Options within any app. Go to advanced settings, check your security settings. You may also want to check your phones WiFi settings, by opening the connections app and open the WiFi configuration.
Hope that helps, sincerely,
Ben

Hey there,I purchased gmail app for my macbook pro with retina display but I cannot even open it!Why!The purchased is made,I have also the receipt but cannot use it!

Hi,yesterday I made a purchase of gmail app for mac book pro but I cannot open it!I have the receipt for the perchased item it is in my list of installed apps but cannot use it.Do anybody has the same problem like me?Please,advice!

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Loaded Elements 10 onto my new computer but cannot use photo email. After composing the email I get message that says unable to complete. I used photo email many tmes on old computer. Any suggestions?

I loaded Elements 10 onto my new computer but cannot use photo email. I get a message saying "unable to complete" Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, Starter Edition 3.2 has been discontinued for some time now; an alternative option (which is free) could be google Picasa; check that one out to see if it might work for you.
Photoshop Elements replaced Starter Edition, and comes with a sophisticated organizer that essentially does what Starter Edition did; download the tryout and use it for 30 days for free to see if it does what you want it to.

If my iPhone 3GS turns on but cannot use the touch screen, could the Processor be the problem?

I recently dropped my iPhone 3GS but cannot use the touch screen. I took to a local repair shop and they tried replacing the digitizer and some other items but still could not get it to work. They advised that the Processor could be the problem. Is this true? If so, can the processor be replaced without losing data? Additionally, my phone has a lock code and when I try to connect it to my desktop to back up, it states that I need to enter my 4 digit pin first, which of course I cannot. Any workarounds here or am I SOL?

Hook the phone to a computer running iTunes and backup to the computer. Copy pictures off the phone manually to the computer.

You state that "there is nothing wrong with your home network because you can connect to your laptop and other wifi devices". Interpreted literally, this means only you have a local wireless network. Can your laptop and other wifi devices on your home network access the Internet without problems?
Do you have "reasonable" values for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router IP, DNS, etc on your iPod Toucg 4G in Settings > WiFi > your home network?
By reasonable I mean do they look the same as the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router IP, DNS, etc on your devices that can access the Internet?

Airport Express working, PC connects to network but cannot use internet

I set up my Airport Express wireless network, and all is functioning. My IMac recognizes and uses the network. My PC laptop recognizes the network (excellent signal) and "connects" or indicates that it is connected, but I cannot access the internet. Have tried the power-down and re-booting sequences suggested in other posts. Does the PC just not work on a Mac wireless network?
Thanks.

Ok, time to use the Ping tool for some additional troubleshooting. We will need to open another command window.
1. Ping the loopback address to verify that TCP/IP is installed and correctly configured on the local computer. To do this, type the following command: +ping 127.0.0.1+
If the loopback test fails, the IP stack is not responding. This problem may occur if any one or more of the following conditions is true: a. The TCP drivers are corrupted, b) The network adapter is not working, or c. Another service is interfering with IP.
2. Ping the IP address of the PC to verify that the computer was correctly added to the network. To do this, type the following command: +ping 10.0.1.3+
If the loopback test succeeds but you cannot ping the local IP address, there may be an issue with the routing table or with the network adapter driver.
3. Ping the IP address of the default gateway to verify that the default gateway is working and that you can communicate with a local host on the local network. To do this, type the following command: +ping 10.0.1.1+
If the ping fails, you may have an issue with the network adapter, the router or gateway device, the cabling, or other connectivity hardware.
4. Ping the IP address of a remote host to verify that you can communicate through a router. We did this earlier when you attempted to access Google through the web browser using Google's IP address. This time, we will try it via the Ping tool. To do this, type the following command: +ping IP address of remote host+
If the ping fails, the remote host may not be responding, or there may be a problem with the network hardware between computers. To rule out an unresponsive remote host, use Ping again to a different remote host.
5. Ping the host name of a remote host to verify that you can resolve a remote host name. To do this, type the following command: +ping www.google.com+
Ping uses name resolution to resolve a computer name into an IP address. Therefore, if you successfully ping an IP address but you cannot ping a computer name, there is a problem with host name resolution, not with network connectivity. Verify that DNS server addresses are configured for the computer, either manually in the properties of TCP/IP, or by automatic assignment. If DNS server addresses are listed when you type the ipconfig /all command, try to ping the server addresses to make sure that they are accessible.
If you cannot use Ping successfully at any point, verify the following configurations:
o Make sure that the local computer's IP address is valid and that it is correct on the General tab of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box or when it is used with the Ipconfig tool.
o Make sure that a default gateway is configured and that the link between the host and the default gateway is working. For troubleshooting purposes, make sure that only one default gateway is configured.
o Make sure that Internet Protocol security (IPSec) is not turned on. Depending on the IPSec policy, Ping packets may be blocked or may require security.
(Important: If the remote computer that you are pinging is across a high-delay link such as a satellite link, response may take longer. You can use the -w (wait) parameter to specify a longer timeout period than the default timeout of four seconds.)

Wireless is connected, but cannot use safari, itunes, software update

Im having trouble with my macbook pro right now. The network diagnostics show that my connection is fine, but safari won't connect to any sites.
With safari, it doesn't say anything about not being able to connect, it just shows the loading icon on the url bar and a white page.
iTunes won't connect, and same with Software update. I do not have any antivirus right now.
My time machine is working, but that uses a different router(the one on the time machine)
Ive tried resetting safari among other things and nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Do you use the right channel and right encryption settings?
This should be checked!
It should be able to change the WLan channels in device manager -> WLan card -> Properties -> Advanced tab
But I would also recommend disabling the encryption and password in router settings and to connect to Open Wlan of course this should be done only for testing purposes if the notebook would be able to connect to the open router, then this would mean that you used a wrong password.
How about WLan driver update? Did you update the WLan driver? If not do that!

Lenovo Forum Account Not Recognized, But Cannot Use Same Account Information

I previously created a Lenovo forum account, however it was not recogonized when I attempted to sign in to the forums with it. So, I started to recreate it using the same e-mail address. I was able to use the same e-mail address, received the verification e-mail, clicked the verification link, and was prompted to enter a user name and e-mail address. I attempted to use my previous user ID that I was just told did not exists (hence needing to recreate an account) and was told that the ID already existed. Okay, fine I made up a new one. I was also promted to enter an e-mail address. Um, okay. So I tried entering my e-mail address and was told that the e-mail addres was already in use. Huh? How could my old accound both not exist and exist? But I cannot request any help until I have an account. So I created a completely different account using a different e-mail address and user ID. Why did not my original account not work, and am I going to have to go through this again the next time I need to access the forums?

Your first account has not been associated with a LenovoID, the other two have. The LenovoID is actually the email address you used to create that LenovoID and not your forum user name.
When you click on Sign In at the top of the forum you will be presented with the LenovoID screen, see the picture in point 3 in this knowledgebase article. In the immediately visible fields please enter the email and password used when creating your second or third LenovoID accounts which may be different to those used on the forum registration page picture under point 4; this will then automatically log you into the forums with the user name which was associated with that LenovoID.
If you wish for your original member name, DGDCTP, to be associated with the LenovoID created for account 2 or 3 please let us know and we can arrange this for you.

Time machine backups visible but cannot access them to retrieve old photos.

hello community.
i recently purchased a newish macbook pro. i restored it from a time machine backup with no problems. i got a new computer because all my music and photos wouldnt fit. so the old photos i had backed up a few months ago (then deleted because of no space) werent put back on because of more recent backups i made then restored the new comp to. NOW. i cannot access the old time machine backups even though they are visible in the "star wars" screen when i enter time machine. i cannot click on a backup and retrieve those photos i had backed up ages ago but i can see all of them from about two years ago.
i have tried unplugging, verifying with the disk utility(all of which came up fine), and shouting. all of which do not work. any ideas? i feel like im missing something really simple.
thanks!

In the Finder, right-click or control-click the folder icon and select
Show View Options
from the contextual menu. In the dialog that opens, select None from the Arrange by menu. Close the dialog, enter Time Machine, and try again.
Another reason why items in a snapshot might not be selectable is that the time-travel view is open on a secondary display. Move it to the primary display, or if necessary, exit and disconnect the external display.

Can run .exe but cannot use .exe file with 64 bit operating system

I built an application in labview (32 bit) in xp. The exe file generated from the labview 2009 is able to function well in windows vista (32 bit). For this i installed run time engine and since my application requires vision tools so i also installed the vision run time engine 2009. The application reads values of a device (from microcontroller) from the virtual com port (through USB).
Now the problem is the .exe cannot response in Windows 7 (64 bit). For this i installed Run Time engine 2009 (for 32 bit) and also vision run time engine. The exe runs but does not read any value from the COM port and does not response any thing.
This is somehow related to 64 bit operating system.
Further to mention, the control input for 'VISA resource name' input of 'Visa Configure Serial Port' block generally detects the COM Port where the device is connected (e.g. COM1, COM2 etc) and used to display the choices (on drop down menu) but with 64 bit operating system this is not happening.
What could be the possible problem? I would be happy to know if someone has come across this problem or if someone can help me to solve this problem.
Simply i would like to run an .exe application build in 32 bit to run in an operating system of 64 bit. This application has VISA and Vision motion tools.

NI VISA is a software abstraction layer for different physical interfaces (e.g. RS232).
I understood that your application is working with this in order to select and communicate with COM interfaces.
MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer) is the tool to configure and test NI drivers, in this case VISA.
So if no COM shows up in MAX, you have a malfunction (or missing) installation of VISA.

Quickvpn connected, but cannot use lan resources

I have recently configured RVS4000 for VPN use. The office LAN is the RVS4000 (IP 192.168.1.1) behind a Thomson 516 (in bridge mode, the RVS handling PPPoE authentification), 1 machine running xp pro used as a file and print server, 3 xp workstations.
I just want to be able to access the server, which has a fixed IP of 192.168.1.50. I don't care about accessing the workstations. Windows firewal on the server is off.
Trying to connect from home machine which is another xp pro machine behind a d-link 524 and cable modem. windows firewall on home computer is off (di-524 firewall is on, I've lost the password and the unit is refusing to hard reset to defaults...).
quickvpn will connect to the RVS4000 (as long as port is set to auto) (though sometimes the remote gateway will stop responding...don't know what's up with that), and I can ping each and every device on the office LAN, including the server and the networked multifunction office machine (which prints, scans and faxes beautifully over the office LAN). I can log into each and every web interface connected to the office LAN
The RVS4000 is meticulously set up with each and every firewall rule I've seen mentioned re. quickvpn.
I understand that quickvpn does not give you a local IP on the target LAN, and that it does not support netbios. However, I have read and been told that it should allow to access fileshares and printers. But these do not work.
After some research, I set up a networked drive by IP address and folder on the server. It looks right, displays correct size and capacity info and browses nice and fast. However, any attempt to save to the file server results in a file save error, data lost, connection may have been lost error message out of the windows taskbar.
Also, trying to set up printer (either as standalone network device by IP address, which worked great when setting up the office LAN, or via the server (to which it is locally connected) results in a bad hang and/or ultimately, the printer cannot be found error message.
I've tried running remote desktop on the server (by IP). It connects great, but then hangs, useless.
Phone tech support says that must be a windows file permission problem, but the file server is using plain vanilla full file sharing that works real well on the office LAN. I've even assigned the home machine the same workgroup and domain as the office LAN (though since netbios isn't supported, didn't think it would do anything, and it didn't).
Any thoughts on making this work, or have I just wasted our money and nearly an entire week of my time?

Dvandusen,
I understand that you are able to connect with no problem (for the most part) via QVPN to the RVS, and you have access to remote resources; however, they are not useable.
I will try to make suggestions based on this.
First, your D-Link router is most likely giving you an IP of 192.168.0.x, is this correct? (for this conversation I will assume correct)
Since your RVS is still default and has 192.168.1.0 network ID, for some reason this can cause problems. Typically I like to set up the routers for QVPN with an IP that is not very common, like 192.168.212.0 /24. The part that is key is ensuring both local networks are not the same, but really not similar in any manner. I know they are different right now, but "1" and "0" (as in 192.168.0 or 192.168.1.) are not good numbers to use. I wish I knew exactly why.
Another thing that caught my attention is this:
"After some research, I set up a networked drive by IP address and folder on the server. It looks right, displays correct size and capacity info and browses nice and fast. However, any attempt to save to the file server results in a file save error, data lost, connection may have been lost error message out of the windows taskbar."
This part is a little confusing, but I think is that you have created a mapped drive on your computer for a share on the server. You are able to access files, but not able to save them. Once you get the error message are still able to access the mapped drive?
"Trying to connect from home machine which is another xp pro machine behind a d-link 524 and cable modem. windows firewall on home computer is off (di-524 firewall is on, I've lost the password and the unit is refusing to hard reset to defaults...)."
I would really look into your router and why is it not able to factory default. One thing that is very important that gets missed very often is the Windows Firewall. You checked and made sure it was off, but have you looked at the service to make sure it is not running. Turning the firewall off from the GUI is not the same. It should be but is not.
To turn off the service click on start > Run > Type "services.msc" without quotes. When the services window opens, scroll down to "Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" and stop the service.
Try the connection again and see if you are able to get what you need. If so go ahead and just disable the service.
Let us know if this helps out.
