How do I re-install Verdana files on my Mac so that Illustrator opens?

Hi
I'm getting the message 'Adobe Illustrator has stopped working, enable Verdana files etc)....
I've read the other discussions about this & I know that Verdana & some other font files need to be activated in order for Illustrator to open. The problem is these files were uninstalled when I removed Microsoft word from my Mac & I don't know where to get them from again.
I have found some free True Type Verdana files & installed them & made sure they're active in FontBook but Illustrator is still giving me the message that Verdana needs to be enabled.
Does anyone know if there are free OpenFont Verdana files anywhere?
Really need to use Illustrator, this is so frustrating!!
Any help appreciated thanks!

You need the TrutType version of the Verdana and Tahoma fonts, not OpenType. Try the Microsoft site.

Whenever I open a file in Lion, other files of the same sort that I opened previously automatically open up. For example, if I open a .jpg file, numerous other .jpg files that I opened previously in the day open up. How do I prevent this from happening?

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

I have installed adobe reader onto my Mac but when I open up an adobe pdf it tells me that i need to accept the end user license agreement, quite, and then open up a new browser but i have never seen the end user license agreement. What should I do in order to accept the end user license agreement even though it never pops up when i install adobe reader?

Make sure Readr is closed. Go to the Applications form, look for the Adobe Reader icon, double click on it, and follow the lead. Restart Reader when finished.

Software updates sometimes do not install. I have two software updates that I continually show up as available to install. When I click on the install button it changes to installed. Checked About this Mac shows that the updates have not installed.

How do I Import my iWeb Files from one Mac to Another

I have iWeb files that are on one Mac and want to import to another Mac.
How do I do this with having one domain file, completely erase the other domain file that has different files?
This is BRUTAL trying to move, copy and import iWeb files between family Macs!!!

You are actually better to split your domain file so that each site can be loaded individually into iWeb and published separately. See....
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
You'll note from this that you can also use a third party application to handle these file and iWebsites used to have a merge function. I don't use it so I don't know if it works with the latest version of iWeb.

File Lock - How to lock and unlock a file ? Can we do that for an FTP File?

Hi All,
I like to retrieve a file from the FTP server using Apache Commons Net libraries.
for example if the file size is 20MB. When the file is in the progress of copying or transferring from the FTP server i need to lock the local file which is in our local directory so that no other process will use the same local file which is in the process of copying otherwise partially copied files will be used by another process.
the file should be locked when it was in the progress of copying from the server. I have an automatic process which will access file objects at certain time and try to process the files.
I like to know the simplest and easiest way to lock and unlock a file object locally which is trying to copy a file from the FTP server which is of huge size.
And also i like to know how to lock and unlock a file in general?
Thanks,
J.Kathir

we can set it read only only when it complete finishing the writing.
can we able to make the file as read-only while transferring data to file.
How to achieve it ? pls give me some sample code

HT1296 How do I syn pdf files eg. of an econs notes from school onto my iPad? Where do I save these files to my Mac so that I can sync them to my iPad?

Hi
Just bought a CD for my Econs subject, has a lot of pdf files which I hope to load to my iPad.
1. Where do I save these pdf files on my Mac?
2. How do I syn such that these files can be found on my iPad so that I can read them?
Please help, details needed as I am not a techie yet
Thanks v much to anyone who can help

You first need to decide which app(s) that you are going to copy the PDF2 to on the iPad - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. Apps that support PDFs include free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and paid-for apps such as GoodReader.
For all apps it doesn't really matter where you initially store them on your Mac.
For iBooks you can add the PDFs to computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them to the app by connecting the iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then using the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync those PDFs.
For other apps it will depend upon what the app that you get supports e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

How to install and setup macports for mac os mavericks, for open vpn purpose.

Hi Guys! I'm using OS Mavericks now in my macbook pro, I need help and suggestions regarding open vpn application that i can use for my laptop so that i can access my server in my office even im out of town and country. I found vpn network setup in network preference but i dont know how to setup. also others are suggesting macports for mac but still difficult to analyze and setup. I need to troubleshoot in terminal which i'm not familiar with commands. Please help me guys! Please!

You're going to need to figure out the required settings for the VPN server you're working with, whether you use the standard client or some add-on. That information is a prerequisite for a VPN client; for any VPN client.
If the standard VPN client present in OS X doesn't and cannot be gotten to work, then something like IPSecuritas or the OpenVPN client would be a typical fallback choice, but IPSecuritas is far more flexible — which means far more complex. These clients are available as application downloads; no Brew or MacPorts required.
Is this your server you're connecting into? Or is somebody else controlling it?
If it's your server and thus your VPN server, then you'll have the option to get either the VPN server in the gateway firewall box or the VPN server running in the target system configured to allow the OS X VPN client to work.
If the server is controlled by somebody else, ask them for the settings necessary for the VPN client.
As Barney-15E states, using Brew or MacPorts won't help, unless you're installing the VPN client that way — which would be a little unusual — and you're still going to have to figure out the L2TP / IPSec or PPTP or other settings here, irrespective of how the VPN client gets installed.

How do I import a cdv file in to mac mail

I am needing to immport a csv file in to mac mail. what are the steps involved?

Hello, MashaHalpern.
Here are the steps on how to import CSV files to Contacts.
Import contacts from other file types
Import contact information saved or exported from other apps. The files can be in LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF) or text format (tab-delimited or comma-separated value (CSV)).
If you’re importing a tab-delimited or CSV file, make sure it’s formatted correctly using a text editor such as TextEdit.
Remove any line breaks within a contact’s information.
Make sure that fields in a tab-delimited file are separated by a tab, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after tabs.
Make sure that fields in a CSV file are separated by a comma, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after commas.
Make sure all addresses have the same number of fields. Add empty fields as needed.
In Contacts, choose File > Import, select the file, change the encoding if necessary, then click Open.
If you’re importing a text file, review the field labels.
If the first card contains headers, make sure the headers are correctly labeled or marked “Do not import.” Any changes you make to this card are made to all cards in the file. To not import the headers card, select “Ignore first card.”
To change a label, click the arrows next to the label and choose a new label. If you don’t want to import a field, choose “Do not import.”

How to format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.

Dear user, can i format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.

As you need to be on 10.6 to be able access the App Store to download Lion, either get replacement discs via Applecare (you'll need the MBP's serial number to get the right ones) or get the SL retail disc. I would recommend the Original disc replacement set (assuming they were 10.6) as they carry not onlyApple Hardware Test for your model, but the iLife apps other bundled sftware that isn't on the retail disc.
Once you've installed, and used Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you can then get Lion if you're feeling masochistic.
