How do I use the Apple Braille font in Indesign?

I made a text box and tried typing some text with Times NR so I could see what I'm typing. But when I tried changing the font to any of the Braille fonts they just appeared as boxes. How do I use braille in my photobook?

"Braille" is not simply "A..Z, but then drawn as dots". All Braille characters have a Unicode of their own: http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2800.pdf, and, as explained on Wikipedia (Braille Patterns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), they do not immediately 'translate' to a single character.
So the answer is, you should not type text, you should insert Braille characters. The font is behaving as it should.
You can use Find/Change to change one character at a time (after all, you won't need all of them), or ask someone in the Scripting Forum to write you a custom script. Make sure to provide a list of character translations as well.

    In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
    When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
    How can I type using the Apple Symbol font?  I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

  • How do i use the apple tv remote app to navigate the apple tv?

    Hi everyone,
    I've been given an apple tv remote from my step father. I couldn't honestly tell you which model I'm afraid. He's lost the remote.
    I've managed to get the apple tv turned on using a youtube that explaned how to set up with an ethernet cable. I can even airplay stuff from my itunes. However I want to pair my existing remote and I can't work out for the life of me how I use the apple tv remote app to navigate whilst on the apple tv main menu.
    There's just no option to do this, despite the youtube vid seemingly doing it. Has a previous update of the app rendered this featured obselete?
    Some clarity or help on how I can navigate the apple tv using either my iphone or macbook would be great. That way I can pair my existing tv remote for future use.
    Thanks everyone in advance!
    James Wright

    Purchase a replacement remote.
    The remote is required for configuring the ATV and setting up the remote app on iDevices.

  • How do I use the „Apple Mail To Do" Folder on multiple Macs?

    Hi,
    I'm using the Apple Mail To Do Folder respectively the "To Do" function in mail on my iMac and my MacBook. I will find To Dos created on the MacBook in the "Apple Mail To Do" Folder on my iMac, but the iMac doesn't show these To Dos in the associated mails. Same happens for To Dos created on the iMac when I try to use them with the MacBook. Any hint?
    Thanks.

    Turning the mail account off does not really solve this problem. All the snooper has to do if the mail account is turned off is to turn it back on, read messages and then turn it off again.
    If the Apple mail works like other mail systems, you can mark read messages as unread. Then you really won't have any way of knowing that your messages were read already.
    The simple solution is (wondering why Apple has not implemented it) is to remove the password in the Mail settings so that each time the Mail is opened, it will ask for a username and password.

  • How Can I use the Apple time capsule on another network?

    I have just swapped out Virgin Broadband for BT broadband (BT infinity - BT HOMEHUB 3 wireless device)
    I would like to reconfigure my Time capsule so that I can use it as part of my new wireless network (as a wireless back-up device).. but not use the router part of it.
    I believe this is possible?  Am currently using 10.7.5 of OS X.
    Can you please let me know what steps I need to follow?  (I am happy to start again if need be).
    With Thanks
    Simon

    You cannot use the extend option with another brand router.. so the above will not work with the BThub. And WDS btw is now not used on the TC or apple routers.. haven't ever since N wireless came out.. the above article is for G wireless routers of yesteryear.
    The best way to do it is bridge the TC.. that is router bridge not wireless bridge.. and simply plug it by ethernet into the BT hub.
    You can then setup wireless however you want.. it can reinforce the existing wireless. Simply use the same name (SSID) and security setting.. (should be WPA2 Personal ie AES).. and passkey.. but if you want to make it sure, then lock the wireless channels. This is called a roaming network.

  • How can we use 2 Apple ID's with 1 Apple TV??

    We just bought an Apple TV device.  We anticipate liking it, but are a bit stuck at the moment.
    We have 2 laptops (PC), 2 Apple ID's and 1 Apple TV device.  How can we use the Apple TV with each of our unique ID's?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks - s2557

    The answer is YES. with no problems. In fact you can connect up to FIVE units in one itunes (But no more). I have no idea why OR who was the FOOL, that picked only 5 units. This has set limitation on their own product. I currently use 5 Apple Tvs at work for a interdepartmental media network. It just runs slide shows and training video's. I needed 9 units up and running, So I have another computer just to pickup the last 4 units, and shared the file folders I run 5 units at home as well. However you have to leave that itunes up and running. The five authorized limitation is also a pain. Steve said he was dong away with DRM, I guess that didn't work out to well. In short, I run 5 laptops, 3 desktops, 1 Mac Pro, 4 Ipads, 4 Iphones AND one Mac Mini with server 10.5.6 for a family of 4. The FIVE number limitation is a major pain. Best of luck to you.

  • How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

    How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

    To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font.  Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type.  The font will take care of itself.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks
