Indesign suddenly can't find previously-working fonts

I've been using Indesign CS3 (5.0) and Suitcase Fusion (12.1.7) happily for about a year and a half with little to no issues. Now suddenly I'm having some issues with Indesign documents I've worked on fine in the past couple months. Specifically, I've been using the GillSans family in a series of ads and everything was fine until about a week ago. Now suddenly when I open any of the ads, I'm told that GillSans and GillSans Light can't be found and Indesign shows all the text with that lovely "missing pink" shade all the other subsets of GillSans like Bold, Condensed, etc. still work fine.
I know for a fact the GillSans family is activated in Fusion, including the two Indesign says are missing. I've also tried removing and replacing my GillSans files with another coworker's and re-installing them in Fusion, and Indesign still says they're missing.
Additionally, I've run FontDoctor on the GillSans folder and it doesn't find any issues. I've also tried moving the GillSans fonts over to my main /Library/Fonts folder and again, Indesign can't seem to "find" them.
So as far as I can tell, everything should be working fine and, yet, it's not. Any ideas on why a couple subsets of my GillSans font would suddenly not be recognized? If they were corrupt I would think either Fusion or FontDoctor would pick up the problem; I'd also think replacing them with someone else's entirely different GillSans files should fix any corruption, so I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Thanks,

Interestingly enough, there doesn't seem to be a single dfont for GillSans anywhere on my system.
Additionally, I just noticed that Indesign is asking for GillSans (TT), but it looks like all the GillSans we have on the computers here are marked as Post Script odd, considering the fonts used in the Indesign document were at one point working correctly.
(UPDATE) After looking a bit into .dfonts and seeing that my system for some reaosn *didn't* have one, I copied over the GillSans.dfont from another Mac to my /library/fonts folder and that seems to have solved part of the problem: GillSans (TT) appears to be working fine now, but GillSans Light (TT) isn't. That's something, at least. ;)

Why does Indesign suddenly can't find my installed typefaces?

Hello,
I updated my creative cloud yesterday and when I launched Indesign it couldn't find my installed fonts (I am using Font Explorer).
Also it said it couldn't find matching fonts on "Typekit". How can I go back to using my installed fonts form Front Explorer? I don't want to buy an other type organizing programm... :-(

I wrote to Linotype, this is the answer I got, it works!
please try the following:
delete your application font caches as well as your system font caches (FontExplorer X Pro menu/Tools), then deactivate the system font protection, then activate it once again, then use the options to optimize the database and to update the spotlight database. Please restart your Mac and check whether or not this has solved the problem.
I was able to use my 'Activated permanently' set again, everything works, now.

International - Can't find previous region

International - Can't find previous region
Hello there,
I changed the region at System Preferences>International>Formats by mistake and now I can't find the previous location.
The previous one was set to "Argentina (English)" and now I can only find "Argentina (Spanish)"... This changes some preferences that I would like to have as before....
Any ideas?
Thank you!!

Hi Armeen, thanks for your response.
No, before the currency (yes, under the formats tab) there are other options:
Region
Dates
Times
Numbers
Well, I changed the region by mistake, (it used to say "Argentina (English)") and when I wanted to put that back I only found "Argentina (Spanish)" which changes the Dates, Times & Numbers format.
Hope this is clear, english is not my language.
Thank you.

TS1474 I can't find previously purchased audiobooks on my computer, these downloads ar older than 90 days.

I can't find previously purchased audiobooks on my computer, these downloads ar older than 90 days.

I have no clue what you mean. If you downloaded the audiobooks in iTunes on your computer or of you transferred the audiobooks from the iPad to iTunes via the transfer purchases feature, the books should be in your iTunes library,
If you are looking to download them again in the purchased section of iTunes, you have to buy them again. Audiobooks cannot be downloaded again for free. They are not part of iTunes in the cloud.

Macbook Pro can't find properly working Airport Express network

I have an Airport Express that's set up and working properly, and my Mac Mini and my iPhone both find the airport network, but not my MacBook Pro. The MacBook pro is even closer to the Express than the Mini is, and it finds many available airport networks (from the neighbors), but not my own network that the other units find without a problem - my own network just isn't listed among the others on the MacBook Pro, and Airport Utility on the MBP can't find the Express either. I've obviously tried restarting everything, as well as resetting the Express and setting it up again (which works just fine from the other two units), and I've tried creating a new user account on the MBP and check from there, but no go. The MBP runs the latest version of Snow Leopard and works just fine with other Airport Networks (at work, or one of the neighbors networks even), so it shouldn't be faulty hardware. At some point it's time for a Lion update for the MBP and then we'll see if it's some weird system software error that gets resolved in the process. But until that happens … what else could I try?
I'm thinking maybe this is some 802.11 b/g/n malfunction? The Express is an old g, the iPhone is g only, and the Mini is an old g as well, but the MacBook Pro is newer and supports n … but it should of course still be able to switch down to g and find the **** network (or the Express when running Airport Utility).
Anyone?

Well, I can't delete the wireless connection since it doesn't really exist (on the MacBook Pro). Had the Express in my office, but brought it home, and reset it there and created a new network using the Mac Mini, so the MacBook Pro had never been connected to that newly created airport network. But I did delete a lot of old saved connections, some of which were from when the Express was used in my office. This was however, before I read your reply here, so I didn't also erase the passwords from the keychain, however. But still no go; the MacBook just wouldn't list the new network among the available ones, or list the Express in the Airport Utility.
But then … last night, for no apparent reason whatsoever, suddenly everything just works.
In trying to wrap my head around this, and learning from it. Is it even possible for an old network used on an Airport device to interfere with a new network created by the same device? What I mean is, does the computer identify the airport by some sort of serial number or something, regardless of the network created by the airport? So that when a computer should be looking for a new and current network on an airport device it instead looks for an old network it has previously been connected to on that same airport device? Assuming the old network should still exist on that same device, and therefore skipping to look for a new network on the same device? I mean that would suck, but if that's the case then at least I'd know to always erase all traces of any old connections for a specific device in a case like this. ;-)
Thanks for your input!
Cheers!

IWeb can't find previous pages after transfer/reinstall

I recently got a "new" (read: my husband's previous) MacBook Pro and lost some of my files/folders due to a problem during the transfer. I had to reinstall iWeb and now it won't find the pages I had created and published previously with it. The pages are in their own folder (SuzWebPages) as I had to manually restore them instead of letting the computer copy everything over. When I open iWeb, it can't find the pages. I have looked through other help topics on this and tried moving the SuzWebPages folder to the iWeb folder in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and renaming it to a .sites2 file, but iWeb still doesn't see the folder/site/pages and opens with the choose a new page screen. When I right-click and choose Open With on the actual pages, iWeb is grayed out.
I went from Yosemite 10.10.1 to the same version. I had to reinstall many programs which did not transfer or were corrupted, such as MS Word, Safari, and Mail, but all were able to find my previous files although none retained my information.
Any suggestions? I can provide any further information needed.
Thanks in advance,
Suz

The file/package you need to have for use with iWeb is called Domain.sites2. The folder containing your published webpages is of no use with iWeb.
If you still have your old Mac go to your Home/Library/Applications Support folder and look for the iWeb folder. It will have the domain file you need. Copy the iWeb folder to the same location on your new Mac and launch iWeb.
Otherwise you'll have to rebuild your webpage from scratch. If you have to do that I suggest you switch over to a new web development application as iWeb has been discontinued for about 2 years.
One app that many have migrated to because it is so like iWeb in its user interface and how it works (but with many more features) is EverWeb. There's a 30 day demo version that you can try to see if you like it. To recreate your website with it you can copy text and photos from your existing site and paste into the EverWeb version.
For other potential iWeb replacement apps search the iWeb forum for "iWeb alternative" or "iWeb replacement".

HT204074 can't find previously downloaded movie on new computer

Help! I had purchased RED 2 in a blu ray combo pack with Digital Copy. I downloaded the movie to my now dead computer, and it included iTunes Extras. I can only find the extras file in my new computer with my id. How do I get my previously purchased goods back?

Whether you can redownload the film depends upon what country that you are in, whether the film is still in your country's store, and whether the studio allows redownloading. Does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If not, and if the film is still in your country's store, then is it hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
If you can't redownload it then you will need to copy it from your backup of your downloads/library that you should be keeping and maintaining.

Can't find previous downloads in iphoto

I have a new camera and once I download pictures from it to iphoto I can see them fine in the 'last import', but not anywhere else (e.g. last month, photos, events). I've since done other downloads and the previous downloads are now gone, can't find the photos anywhere, but I can see the newest download. What is going on?

Select a pic in Last Import and Right-Click on it. Choose 'Show Event' from the menu. This will bring you to the Event containing the photo.
If the photo is in Last Import, then the photo is in the Library somewhere, just not where you expect it to be. Usual causes: the date on your camera is wrong, and so the date on the photo is wrong, or the sorting of the Events has changed (View Menu -> Sort Events)
Regards
TD
