FONTS - Works fine in a MAC, requires "substitution" on PC

Dear Folks:
I make stuff in Photoshop CS on Mac. I open it on a PC afterwards and the fonts I've chosen are "substituted" with others by the Windows version of the same software.
How can I get this under control? How can I tell which fonts are happy in both platforms?
Can Font Book help?
Thanks
Raoul

Hi, Raoul.
There's info missing from your question, such as the version of Photoshop you are using on each computer, if your sending .PSD files to the PC, etc. However, assuming you're sending the .PSDs, I suspect the font substitution is occurring because you're using fonts on the Mac that are unavailable on the PC in question. You'd need to either use fonts that are common to both computers, or assure both computers have the identical fonts installed.
Where Font Book can help is that it will tell you what fonts are installed on the Mac in the default font locations employed by Mac OS X: see "Mac OS X: Font Locations and Their Purposes." However, Adobe products also include fonts that they install in their own font-related folders, outside of the default font locations managed by Font Book.
If the above does not help, I suggest you try yuor questions on the Adobe Photoshop Mac Forum, where Photoshop questions are answered.
Good luck!

I'm getting messages that Netflix and the iTunes store are currently unavailable. This can't be a coincidence. also, my iTunes account works fine on my Mac, just not on the Apple TV.

I'm getting messages on Apple TV that netflix and the itunes store are currently unavailable. This can't be a coincidence. Also, the iTunes store is working fine on my Mac, the message is only on the apple TV. Does anyone come across this frequently?

1. An explanation for what? There is indeed a support number (which you can find on this page in "Contact Us" and you are limited to one support call in the first 90 days and if you have the AppleCare you have more than that available, so I'm not sure what you are whinning about (and it is whinning, trust me).
2. http://www.kelleytown.com/ikelleytown.htm#firewire
However, since I wrote that I've also found this link pretty well explaining why firewire is the only way to go as well (it's about video but the same principles apply to the iPod:
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/id;1847886895
3. Your computer is constantly changing whether you know it or not. Do you not apply any MS upgrades (or have them automatically applied for you?) Do you not have any antivirus on your machine (which applies its own upgrades)? Do you not, ever, ever, ever, open any email message, or download that cute little movie your friend sent you, or plug in any other device (like a digital camera or flashcard reader) or any of the other hundreds of things that change the computer environment.
It would be tempting to conclude a priori that the update you applied is now the problem, but if so, how do you explain the millions of others who apply the update without issues? The difference is in the software and settings on the witches brew that is a PC. So in a sense you are right in that the old firmware worked with the mess that is your computer and now the new one doesn't -- but it ain't up to Apple to fix your computer, and impossible for them to control the environment (oh, I guess unless you buy a Mac -- "coincidentally" Mac's use firewire for the iPod :>)
I dunno -- when 90% of all issues (100% of all connection issues) can be solved with the Adaptec 4300 I tend to have a lot less patience with folks. If you want to use the mess that is USB then you'll just have to deal with the fact that MS screwed it up big time and become more knowledgable on how to handle the problems.

Try Restarting / rebooting your Mac before doing anything more drastic..

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with the macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network though. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices.

Not at this time. It would also be great to have an adjustment for sensitivity too.

Hi,
I am using Oracle 9i Application Server 9.0.2.0.0, When i try to run the report using Korean font The pdf report not showing the korean font correctly.
I tried the same in 9ids , which is working properly. I have done exactly the same setting in 9ias, but it is not working.
The Oracle ias report service dialog shows version 9.0.2.0.3
My 9ias settings
NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.KO16KSC5601
In uifont.ali the settings are
[ PDF ]

Hi Navneet,
Thanks for the immediate reply.
As such there is no change in both the report servers , same output in win2000 and win2003. I am generating the rep from 9ids for both 9ids and 9ias, and i am using font UWKMJF which is korean charecter support, but 9ias is generating some junk charecters with spacing , 9ids is working fine.
The PDf Document font is showing
Origial font = HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro type=type1 (CID) Encoding=KSC-EUC-H
Actual font = HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro type=type1 (CID)
which is same as 9ids, but the data displaying in the pdf are not proper.
As you mentioned about the patch, which patch i have to apply. can you please also mention the patch numbers.
Please help me.
Thanks and Regards
Rohit.

FaceTime - works fine calling from Mac to IPad 2. Calling from iPad 2 to Mac always have message saying the Mac side is not available or busy.

Calling Mac form Ipad2 works fine. I call from Ipad2 to Mac it is alway not available.
Both Mac and Ipad2 has OS 5 and the latest Factime app.
Please help.

I actually am experiencing the same dilemma as you!
My sister owns a MacBook White 13 inch and even though she is online my calls don't seem to go through!
Make sure the recipient has turned FaceTime on and that he or she is already signed in to FaceTime,
If that doesn't work then contact and iTunes Store Support here:

Hopefully I resolved this issue

HT4436 IPAD issue. Set up Icloud on new IPAD which works fine on my mac and phone. HOwever, when going to iCloud on that IPAD, I am sent to the welcome/set up Icloud screen. And icloud is already set up. How do I get the ipad to recognize the Icloud setup

? IPAD/iCloud set up issue. HAVE iCloud working fine on iPhone and mac. New iPad. Set up iCloud through the usual utility. However, when signing on the iCloud I get sent to the initial "Set up iCloud" screen and cannot sign in to my iCloud account - on the iPad only. Works fine on any other device.
Why? Anyone know what I might have done wrong?
Otis

You can't go to icloud.com on an iOS device like your iPad. You can only view your data on icloud.com from a computer. This is because you can already view all your iCloud data on your iOS device from within your apps (contacts in the contacts app, calendars in the calendar app, email in the mail app, etc.).

CC works fine on the Mac laptop but doesn't download to the PC desktop

Strange. It works fine on the laptop (Mac, OSX Mavericks) but doesn't download on the PC desktop (Windows 7) I also have upstairs. The CC Install App downloads, but whenever I click 'download' on the CC Website nothing happens, no progress bar--no nothin'! Any ideas? I've tried msConfig and disabled non-essentials and rebooted, disconnected the router and hard-wired it in the event the firewall was blocking the data (I didn't wanna mess with port forwarding). I'm at a loss here gang. I am a student and use After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop regularly and need to have the access when my brother uses the laptop!
Thanks for listening,
Matt

Everytime I start time machine, my computer backs up +/- 250MB, then freezes. Tried it with 3 different external drives, all stop at about the same point (they all work fine on other macs). Any suggestions?

The drives I have are Seagate 1TB GoFlex portable drives (one has UBS 3.0, the other USB 2.0), and a WesternDigital 1TB passport (USB 3.0). I originally tried to backup with Time Machine using the Seagate USB 3.0, and when that didnt work, Seagate suggested maybe since my operating system is a little older, that I try with a USB 2.0, so they sent me another NEW external hard drive, with the USB 2.0. Had the same issue. Frustrated and convinced that Seagate just sucked, I went and bought the 1TB WesternDigital passport (USB 3.0). Have the exact same issue again. Every drive was new, and formatted for mac. When I started time machine it started to back up my files, but froze after copying give or take 250 MB (usually 252.5MB, to be exact). I went and tried the drive on several other macs, and none of them presented any problems. I also tried dragging individual files, but it still freezes on pretty much anything bigger than +/- 100MB. Disk Utility says that all the drives are fine. Obviously this is a problem with my computer, and not the 3 brand new external drives. I thought about upgrading to OSX 10.6, but don't know if this'll help or not (plus, I'd really prefer to have all the files backed up on a drive before doing that, just in case). I dont know what else to do.. called apple, but I'm not about to pay them $50 to have them MAYBE give me a solution (done that twice now for previous unrelated issues, and each time they just told me to take it to a computer repair place.) Just seeing if anyone out there has a solution before I cave and take it back to the certified computer guys for them to figure it out.. Also, I live in Montana and theres no apple store anywhere close (not suprising), so taking it to an Apple Store is just not an option.
Side note: Seagate tech support is awesome; they tried everything to solve the problem, and they even bent their rules a little to send me a new drive, even though it wasn't a malfunction issue with their drive. Really helpful, friendly people, which is much more than I can say for Apple at this point...

this is what you need to do to exclude everything apart from desktop.
on time machine preferences, click on Options
click plus sign, on the new window, click macintosh HD
do a Control + A then deselect users then click okay
go to options again, plus sign, go to users, control +A then deselect your user account
go to options again, plus sign, go to your user account, control + A, deselect desktop
start the back up.

Spread Sheet Couldn't be Imported, Spread Sheet couldn't be opened because it contains cells outside the boundaries of numbers. Has any one had this problem? It is an excel file that works fine on my mac.

When I try to import an excell file to numbers on my ipad i get an error message that says it cannot import the file or open the file because it contains cells outside the boundry of numbers. Any one have this problem. it is only one file that i have this problem with and it is an important one. I have no problem working on it with my mac and my excell for mac.

Number is limited to about 65000 cells so if your Excell spreadsheet is too large Numbers will choke. This is definitely one of the weaknesses. If you don't have Excel you can use LibreOffice which is free.

My Airport works fine with my Macs but not with Windows netbook

I bought my first Apple in 1987 and have never owned a Windows computer. I bought an MSI Wind netbook (too long of a story to go into here) and I can't seem to get it to recognize my Airport network. I have three Macs, an iPad and two iPhones that have no trouble getting on the network. Using this Windows machine is like learning a foreign language. I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting. It has XP installed and is a used machine. It seems to work great in every other aspect except for this.
If anyone could point me to some step by step instructions or have any suggestions, I would appreciate it. I have a feeling it's something simple, but I am in foreign territory! Thanks.

Ok, I guess we will just have to assume that the wireless capability of your netbook is functional.
Let's start by using Windows XP's automated network troubleshooting feature, called Network Diagnostics.
To use Network Diagnostics, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Help and Support.
2. Click the link to Use Tools to view your computer information and diagnose problems, and then click Network Diagnostics in the list on the left.
3. When you click Scan your system, Network Diagnostics gathers configuration information and performs automated troubleshooting of the network connection.
4. When the process is completed, look for any items that are marked "FAILED" in
red, expand those categories, and then view the additional details about what the testing showed.
Please post back your results.

Burned DVD works fine in a mac but audio out of sync in a DVD player!?

The titles kinda says it all. Nearly. I've made my most complicated (for me) DVD to date. It's a concert DVD shot in anamorphic. I've edited in FCP and exported with compressor with all the appropriate settings, to mpeg 2. I've built the DVD in DVDSP with an intro from motion, motion menus etc. It previews fine and looks outstanding (if I do say so myself!). I burned the finished folder with Toast 8 ( as a UDF) and the burned DVD plays under DVD player on all my macs faultlessly. When I put the DVD in a normal DVD player, the audio is SERIOUSLY out of sync (the dancing is out of time let alone the lip sync) and the picture is stretched wide, like it's trying for 2.35.1 when it's only 16.9 or something.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? All help appreciated.
Gareth

I've edited in FCP and exported with compressor with all the appropriate settings, to mpeg 2.
Double check to make sure that you edited in Anamorphic and also encoded as 16:9 video not 4:3 - also make sure you set the Track to 16:9 Letterbox in DVD SP.
What encoding rates did you use for the video and audio? Sometimes if the rates are too high it can cause drifts.
On the audio side, did you export the FCP as self contained and make the audio AC3? Also you can try just exporting the audio as an AIF and encode that as an AC3.
How did you burn the DVD (Speed and Media used?) Sometimes bad burns/media can cause issues.

Airport Extreme Card work fine on new Mac Pro (Early 2008)?

I was looking at this Airport Extreme Card ( http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=MTg 5Njg&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/networking&nplm=M8881LL/A ). Is it simple enough to install? And does it work? I'm not a complete noob, and I have built my own PC before, but I'm wondering if there were any quirks when installing this since I'm fairly new with Mac Hardware.

You do not need to have the Extreme base station. It is possible to set up the Express to "share" the routers internet capabilities and provide it through the ethernet port thus to your computer.
You do however need to setup the Airport express to match some setting at the original base station(router). Unless your IT savvy, this could prove to be a hard task for the everyday user.
If your trying to sustain high transfer rates... wired is always the solution. I personally used a 100ft Cat-6 cable, wired up through my large apartment ceiling to give "connected" benefits to various electronics at the other end. And the cable costs less than 99 dollars
Your other option is to get what is called an extender.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=23680 17&Sku=N100-2096&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&CMP=OTC-GOOGLEBASE
This one here works on the G network, and is even a netgear product. This also costing less than the Express.
Hope this helps
