HELP - I've lost my Arial Greek - Any ideas

I've been thoroughly test driving InDesign CS4 for a week or so, as I can no longer print my documents with Greek words in mostly English text from PageMaker 6.5 on new Post Script Xerox printer.  At first was pleased to see that Greek text is supported & converts on PDFs & printed corrctly from both on the PS & old printers.
Today I was trying to find the Euro symbol - it's on my keyboard & works with all other software with Ctrl, Alt 4 - but I used to have a problem converting to PDFs (had to use old computer with Windows 98 to get the Greek text when making PDF files for our printers anyway since Windows 2000, and this also handled the euros.)
Found a solution on the Adobe help (eventually) telling me about using Alt Gr 4 for € - which works in InDesign & prints correctly & creates correct PDF.  There was a suggestion that it might upset 'rip' which I think my printers 'do' when they print our books, so set about creating a test document with € , Greek & UK accents - SUDDENLY FOUND MY GREEK CHARACTERS ARE NOW ENGLISH.
My Control panel is set for alternative Greek keyboard & language and this still worked on email text and PageMaker (EL - for Elada appears in my bottom status panel) but InDesign will only show English Arial characters now when I am in Greek mode.  Also here now - this last para has been typed in EL/Greek mode!  - just tested PM & Internet again and they too have NOW lost Greek since I exited & restarted my computer. Thought they may reset things!!   Now it doesn't work anywhere.
PageMaker shows Arial, Greek Arial, Arial Nrrow, etc as separate 'fonts', InDesign was just showing Arial for the full character set as Word always has.
I was pressing all manner of combinations of Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Alt Gr and numbers,and trying to set up an alternative keystroke to get the € and looking for 'Glyphs' to test. Have I deactivated Greek with some strange combination of accidental keystrokes?  ANY IDEAS ANYONE?
This is VERY important to me as we are Greek-o-File so I must have Greek text!

Fortunately I saved this text to repaste which I tried to post 2-2.5 hours ago (been to local pub since - it's Friday night here!).  Obviously net too busy as I had to leave it trying to download my repsonse!! which was.... (I'll try again)
Thanks for your speedy answer. Isn't technology a pain !!!!
I have double & treble checked my language settings & Greek is still set up with the same Ctrl Shift toggle as before. I did not chnage any settings.  Ι did this before sending the message, after and again just now.  There is an indicator on my task bar that shows EN (Engish) or EL (Ellada - Greek) when I toggle between the languages (I don't have any other languages set up).
Whilst doing this reply I tried again with some Greek text so toggled - it was slow to change, but text still in English on either setting.  The EN/EL on task bar at the top changed & I noticed next to the 'EL Greek' a keyboard symbol with 'United Kingdon' where I found an alternative drop down 'Greek' option which had not changed when I toggled before ... Eureka (a Greek word) I've got my Greek back again !!!! αβψδε abcde
Now when I toggle both change - and it works on emails too.
The EN/EL indicator used to be bottom right corner, but for some reason is now top right with Microphone, Tools, Handwriting & Drawing pad on EN English & Just keyboard English & Drawing pad when EL shown. Did I inadvertently open up a wider range of language options or just moved it and expanded?
All's well that ends well - I still don't really know why it went wrong ... but it seems that sometimes you just have to tell Windows 3 or 4 times what you want before it reacts or unravls itself   !!!!   Thankyou.

  • I have just been clearing one of my computers ready to sell. I disconnected it from the cloud, and immediately all my files on the cloud appear to have been deleted so that my other computers appear to have lost them too! Any ideas!

    I have just been cleaning a iMac preparatory to sale and disconnected it from me.com then started deteting files. It seems to have deleted everything from the cloud too, so now my other computers cant see the files. Any ideas what I have done and more importantly what I can do to correct things?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is ituens purchases.  The ipod is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • Lost my Pre pouch, any idea how to get a replacement?

    I lost my Pre sleeping bag (pouch) over the weekend.  Today I visited the Sprint store and they couldn't help me.  They directed me to the Palm Web site.  But the Palm site doesn't offer the pouch as an accessory.
    Not sure what to do now besides spend $14.95 on a "technical support" phone call to Palm.
    Any advice?

  • I transfered my itunes to an external hard drive and seemed to have lost my apps. Any ideas?

    I thought I could just drag and drop my iTunes library to an external hard drive. After doing this and finding out that it would not work I took my itunes folder and moved it from my music folder on my hard drive to my desktop. After doing that I realized what I needed to do to get my itunes on the external hard drive. I got the itunes on the hard drive alright, lost my playlists which is OK, I will just re-do those, but I also lost my apps for my iPad. I still have all my original files though on my desk top. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    it'll work ... if done properly ☞
    copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on your Mac to the external, then launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    if I already have my iTunes going to the incorrect files how is it going to find the correct files again.
    you could try if this script helps:
    iTunes Track CPR v1.3 
    This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."

    When you moved the file back did you go back into iTunes in your preferences and select the advance tab and then selected the location again or where your files are

  • I seem to have lost the iBooks icon from my iPad.  When being prompted to open a document it asks if I wish to open in iBooks and can see the "books" there.  Any ideas on how to restore the iBooks icon?

    I seem to have lost the iBooks icon - any ideas?

    You've checked all your homescreens and app folders for it, and tried searching for it via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ? There is a maximum of 11 homescreens after which apps are only accessible via the spotlight search scree.
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. You could also do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will re-arrange your apps and might make it easier to find.

  • When quitting safari I used to get a dialogue box with checkboxes, useful if I accidentally pressed command q, but now option seems to have disappeared. Any ideas why or how to retrieve it please?

    I used to get a dialogue box when quitting safari, which was useful if accidentally hitting 'command q', but has now disappeared leading to lost work etc.
    Any idea why, or how I can get this useful option back please?

    Now resolved, after chatting to Apple online support, who said they'd not heard of this happening - solved it quickly enough though.
    Anyone interested or suffering similar I was told to remove website data from privacy tab in Safari preferences. And yes, I'd love to know how it worked too.....
    Great thanks to Apple.

    I updated to ios 6 on my iPod touch earlier and had the same issue. I think iCloud has been backing mine up though. I freaked out because all 500 of my photos were gone and my stupid self didnt do a back up... But then they all reappeared :..) Maybe i just got lucky? Good luck though..

    Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
    Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available.
    Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If there's sufficient disk space, the startup disk may need repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    You will need your install disc if the startup disk needs repairing.

  • I'm running iPhoto '08 on an eMac G4 using OS 10.5.8 and have lost my photo library. Any ideas to help me "find" it--I know it is on the disk?

    I'm running iPhoto '08 on an eMac G4 using OS 10.5.8 and have lost my photo library. Any ideas as to how to find it and /or rebuild it? I know it is there on my disk.

    However, in pictures there seems to be a complete set of my photos(?).
    I'm don't understand what you're saying here.
    In the iphoto window I somehow managed to open a type of "photo library" that includes every photo I've every downloaded on my computer in multiple and entirely random order.
    This can happen if someone inadvertently drags the HD icon or even the home folder icon to iPhoto Window. The best soluion for that is to restore from your back up.

    any body have any ideas how to find a stolen or lost ipod   it's been gone for a couple of weeks and I am heart broken
    any ideas would help thanks

    There is really nothing special you can do not. The battery would be dead by no so you could not find it via iCloud.
    Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police.
    Apple will not do anything.
