How do I get my font suitcase fonts on my old Mac to my new 10.8.5 mac?
Hi Everyone,
I recently bough a new mac laptop becaue my desktop mac was running slow and not letting me use my design applications properly (freezing, crashing, and in general just being slow). I am a graphic designer, and have fonts on my old desktop mac that I need to have on my new laptop mac for client work.
I went thru my old mac (I am not sure what original version it is, but it had been upgraded a few times to the 10.6.8), found all of the fonts and collected them into one folder, placed it on my new mac, and proceeded to install the fonts. The problem that I am having is that my old mac has a lot of fonts that are a font suitcase file, instead of a regular font format, and I cannot install these onto my new mac.
I do not have access to any other forms of these fonts, so I only have the font suitcase versions.
Is there something that I can do to make these install? It's becoming a pain to have to open up a document on my old mac to get the font and then outline it and open it on the new one (since the old one runs slow).
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Melissa
I am not sure, how would I find that out?
You kind of have to know ahead of time. But here's one example of a Type 1 PostScript font:
The suitcase here has .scr (short for screen fonts) tacked on. Sometimes it will say .bmap (bitmapped screen fonts, same thing). Many won't have any extension. It doesn't matter if they do or not. This particular font has only one matching printer font. The suitcase will have at least as many screen fonts in it as there are outline fonts for the set.
A Mac legacy TrueType font will have the same icon and also have a Kind description of "font suitcase". There really isn't anything that will easily set them apart to know which one you have.

Are you sure of that? Check in the Library. Click on the Apps icon to see all apps. Similarly click on the Music icon to see the songs. -

I need to merge my files that were transferred from my old mac to my new mac - for some reason I now have 2 separate setups on my new mac. I need everything merged to one account.
Thanks!Did you use Migration Assistant? If you set up your new Mac first, you created a user account and when you used MA later, it transferred over the old one. The only way to avoid that is to use Setup Assistant at the beginning of the setup. I used MA once and spent a long time getting rid of duplicates - you can either do that manually or start over: use recovery (Command + R or Command + Option + R keys) during startup, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase your disk and download/install again. While going through the setup, use Setup Assistant - it will port over your one and only user account rather than create another.

When going from a Mac-based Ai to a PC based Ai, the documents "Font" are not found on the PC version? (mostly Helvetica) where and how do I get those Fonts? And/or, can I use the Mac version of these Fonts?
Thanks, RichIn order to be cross platform you must be using the Open Type version of all fonts to cause the least disruption. Macs can read and process the Windows .ttf type format but PCs can't process Mac formatted type. Most recent versions also cannot use the older PS Type 1 fonts.

I am trying to find an old mac font. It's the techno (apple) font that was available with OS 9. How can I get this font?
I think that was Tecno. Techno appears to be a whole class of fonts.
Is this the one? http://www.dafont.com/tecno.font
That's a .ttf version which should work OK with current OS.
As an aside, I was searching for Apple Textile for quite some time when it was pointed out to me that it was used by iDVD. Sure enough, opened up the installer package for iDVD with Pacifist and there it was. Now working fine on all my Macs! -

After updating to 10.6.3, I installed the 10.6.8 update just to start experiencing these font issues. HELP! How do I get the fonts to display correctly in my browsers especially (Chrome & Safari)
What I ended up having to do was open up the Font book & remove duplicates. I knew it was Arial that was causing the problem, so I deleted the duplicate of that font. Inadvertantly I deleted all the Arial regular font, so I had to reinstall one copy. That was the solution. Thanks!

How can I get typekit fonts to display in edge code live preview?
I'm wondering how I can get typekit fonts to display when using adobe code cc live preview? I'm aware that it's an issue with my local base url, but I'm confused as to how to fix the issue.
Right now my site is stored locally in a folder on my desktop. I'm not sure what to put in the typekit settings under "domain" and what URL to put in the project settings in edge code.
A little help please?Hello,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. In order for the Typekit fonts to load, you need to add the IP address that you are using for Live Preview to the domain listing on the kit.
By default, Edge Code uses the IP address "http://127.0.0.1/"; you should see that listed in the web browser when previewing your site. If you've changed the preview URL in Edge Code, it might be something like butterville.local instead.
In either case, copy the URL where you are previewing the site, and add it to your domains: go to http://typekit.com and launch your Kit Editor. Click Kit Settings in the upper right corner and add your domain to the domains field, then save your settings.
Make sure you republish your kit after saving the changes.
I hope that this helps! If you still have trouble with the font loading, please send me the preview URL you are using along with your Typekit kit ID. You may post those here or email us at [email protected]
Best,

have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID. How can I get iTunes to change it to current ID
Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID. -
i have made with iweb a website on my macbook, now i want to change it, through my imac, how can I get in the program , which is on the mac book. On both computer I have Lion
You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac. This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too. -
How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing? As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.' So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist. I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue. This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
Thanks.At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).
