How can I get Font Book to install new fonts with Lion OS X without crashing?

Font Book is unresponsive using Lion 10.7.1. When I click on Font Book icon in the dock, I get "Application not Responding". Can't install any new fonts. Anyone else having this issue?
I can get to the open Font Book window if I click on Mission Control to get there, but once there I see spinning wheel, which does not stop.
Any suggestions on how to get Font Book to work well on Lion?

Quick update... I removed all non System fonts from ~/Library/Fonts and deleted com.apple.fontbook.plist from ~/Library/Preferences.
Now FontBook doesn't crash when launched.
I think I'm going to use a 3rd party application to manage all non Apple/System fonts. Hopefully that will avoid any future problems.

  • How can I get CS3 to open on new iMac with 10.6.4?

    Just bought a new iMac and am trying to get everything moved over to it.  I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks & Contribute from CS3.  When I try to open any of them (newly installed from the Adobe downloads) I get this error message:
    file://localhost/Users/jeanetteg2/Desktop/Screen%20shot%202010-07-11%20at%206.39.27%20PM.p ngLicensing for this product has stopped working.
    You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair the
    problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or
    contacting your IT administratoror Adobe customer support for help.
    Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, still the same....
    Tried out Dreamweaver CS5 and don't like the changes they've made - doesn't work near as well for me as my old CS3!

    Did you look at the system requirements for CS3?
    I am not sure about CS3, but I owned CS2. When I wanted to upgrade to CS4 (I usually skip a version because of the cost), my PowerPC was pretty much obsolete. CS4 requires an Intel-based computer. So I bit the dust and bought a new MacPro (intel-based). Consequently CS2 no longer works on my new Mac, and CS4 does not work on my wife's older Mac (her's is not intel-based). I think it's all a conspiracy to make us buy new computers and software .
    good luck,

  • How can I get my LaCie NAS to play nice with Lion?

    Hi all-
    I bought a LaCie 2TB NAS a couple months before upgrading to Lion. All was well when my MBP had Snow Leopard instand and the NAS was plugged into my Air Port Extreme. As many know, this came to an end with the upgrade to Lion. I contacted LaCie and they said it's Apple's fault. Not true, according to this PC Mag article - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2390376,00.asp#fbid=T9f11ODgJPm. I'm just trying to find some solution that will allow me to use this drive the way I used to use it for the 6 weeks I was able to before upgrading to Lion. I don't have experience coding and am not really looking to replace my Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule (I bought the AE earlier this year).
    Any information is definetely appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Sorry to bring you bad news but it looks like LACIE has decided too screw it's 5Big v1 customers and after several support tickets has basically given me two options.
    1. go back to OSX Snow Leopard
    2. buy a 5Big v2
    All v1 device owners seem to be in the same boat with OSX Lion.
    Way to make my 5Big v1 still under warrranty a door stop.

  • How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

    How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over.  Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy.  Thanks.

    Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
    I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
    Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
    And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
    I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
    Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

  • How can I get a book to open that is downloaded on my Ipad 3, I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Held the turn off button and home button down to reboot, nothing has helped.

    How can I get a book to open in my nook app, it downloaded, and installed, it just want open, I have never had this problem before.

    This is entirely my complaint.
    I have to sit without useable internet for 5 days when there is no fault, before anyone does anything about it ? BT visit the village to do something for another customer, mess up my perfectly working broadband, and then refuse to do anything about it for 5 days. And I pay full price during that time. Let's just hope they don't come back to do something else within those 5 days !!!
    There isn't a fault with the line, it is perfectly stable. I just need somebody to use common sense and set the IP profile back to what it was.
    If the system is so clever, it could at least try moving off 135k to 512k say after an hour or so.
    I will try using that link though and see if somebody can do something !!
    Frustrated is not the word ! If I ran my business like this I'd have no customers left. I'm pretty sure that's not the first time somebody has posted that on here

  • How can I get the book box in preferences' general tab to show up so I can start adding books to my ipad?

    How can I get the book box in preferences' general tab to show up so I can start adding books to my ipad? I am running OSX 10.9 and Itunes version 11.1.3(8) 64 bit.  I have tried re-installing Maveriks and reinstalling Itunes but the box for books is never there when I click on Preferences' General Tab.
    I am unsure what to do.  Please help.

    There is no "book box in preferences' general".
    There is a new iBooks application that appears on Mavericks' dock.  It looks like this:

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone and an iPad Mini.  We have separate iTunes accounts.  She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini.  Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini.  How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone 4s and an iPad Mini.  We have separate iTunes accounts.  She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini.  Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini.  How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

    Thank you for your reply Domingo.  Your suggestion worked as far as sending me a link to buy the book at iTunes.  But it did not allow me to download the book from my wife's account.  I did finally get an answer from Apple.  It took an entire day of emailing back and forth and the final answer was relatively easy once Apple finally decided to give up the solution.  Basically, you have to open ibooks and sign out.  Then you have to sign into ibooks using the book purchaser's Apple ID and password.  Then you can download the book onto your device.  Not too bad, huh?  It only took a whole day of Apple people sending me wrong instructions before they figured it out.  Geez.  What a disappointing experience.

    Hi Jai Shree Hari,
    Yeah, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to sign your friend's iTunes sign-on into iTunes, and then use that to download the books. You may need to also authorize your computer in iTunes with that ID in order to be able to re-download them to your device if you ever need to (not sure if this is absolutely required since most things live in the cloud now, but better to be safe than sorry.... ).
    Best of luck!

  • How can I get Flash Player and install it?

    I29/Aug/2010 17:37
    TO: Adobe Forum
    I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
    When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
    How can I get Flash Player and install it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Barry Karas

    First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
    The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
    Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
    Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
    Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

    Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

    Hello to all
    another option is to download and install the portable firefox version from the next link, if you want to use it occasionally : http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./
    portable version is more flexible, and you can delete it any time without worries

  • How can i get this software to install?  there are no product keys on the dvd sleeves

    how can i get this software to install?  there are no product keys on the dvd sleeves

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See:
