Is there a fix for Arial Narrow not showing up in InDesign? I need it!!

InDesign CS5, Windows7. I am seeing where lots of people are having trouble, but has anyone found a fix? Arial Narrow and it's font family is supposedly installed in Windows/Fonts, but is not available in InDesign. Arial narrow only shows up under Arial as a family member, not its own family. I NEED Arial Narrow Bold to work! I am behind schedule.

This problem is due to the offending fonts having the wrong "Preferred Family" and "Preferred Subfamily" names and it can be corrected using a Font Editor, such as the free version of Type light which can be downloaded from http://www.cr8software.net/typelight.html.
The process I found to work (in Windows 8 with Adobe Indesign CC and Office 2010) is as follows:
Open a File Explorer window and go to the system font library at C:/Windows/Fonts and double click on the Arial font (this has a special icon indicating that it contains multiple subentries)
Copy the fonts for Arial Narrow, Arial Narrow Bold, Arial Narrow Italic and Arial Narrow Bold Italic to a new folder on your desktop
Edit each of these copies using your font editor and change the Preferred Family and Preferred Subfamily names (in Type light use the menu option Font>Names... then click the Advanced button)
The Preferred Family should be changed to Arial Narrow and the Preferred Subfamily should be either Regular, Bold, Italic, or Bold Italic as per the particular font you are editing (While you are there you could also make similar changes to the Arial Black font which has the same problem - in this case, make Preferred Family Arial Black and Preferred Subfamily Regular)
Save each font file back over the top of the one in the folder in your folder on the desktop (Save and replace) then open a new File Explorer window for that folder and drag the changed fonts back into their orginal location at C:/Windows/Fonts/Arial
Open a new File Explorer window and do a search on the C: drive for all instances of AdobeFnt*.lst then delete all of them
Restart your computer

Is there a fix for Contacts will not update in Outlook from iphone visa vera

I cannot say when the problem began, however, if I make a change in a contact on the iphone it won't update OUtlook on my PC and visa versa. It will add completely new contacts but won't update anything that already exists. Is this a general problem? Is there a fix?

Thanks for your persistence.

HT201401 Is there a fix for the will not turn on problem?

My iPhone 5 did not wake me up this morning and it would not turn on. I was reading the news on it before retiring to bed, I plugged in the charger and left it on the night stand. This moring it would not turn on with either the home button or the power button. Holding the power button down for many seconds did nothing. I put it on a different charger for 30 min or so, thinking the charger may have failed the the battery ran out, no go. By going through the trouble shooting procedures on Apple Support I learned there is a reset procedure by pressing and holding the power and home buttons at the same time. I tried this and it booted up and appears to be OK. The battery was at 99% so it did take a charge while in the off state. Is this a common problem and is Apple working on a fix? This is my first iPhone and it's not making me feel good about the product now.

Thanks for your persistence.

Is there a fix for "iTunes could not connect..."

On my work PC (XP), I often get the message "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store". It usually happens on my first attempts to access the store in the morning. It's also seems to be random but mostly occurs on my first attempts to access the store for that day. I click on various playlist, "Podcast", "Movies" and back to store. I can usually get it working that way. Any ideas what causes this?

I'm getting the same thing all day. Usually after the first load I close itunes then load it again and it works, but today, since the update I haven't been able to access the store or download any of my podcasts, this is a real pain since I just got a $25 gift card in the mail 8(

I have 5,000 photos on my Ipad and it locks up when I am in photo mode and try to do a slideshow. Is there a fix for that or is there a limit on

I have a I-Pad which I use to upload my photos whil traveling. I was recently gone for 40 days and ended up with over 5,000 photos. When I am in Events mode, slideshow works fine. But when I switch to Photo mode or view and try to do a slideshow, it locks up and I have a black screen. My question is 2 fold. 1. Is there a limit to the # of photos that the slideshow will accomodate? 2. If not, is there a fix for the slideshow not working?
Thanks

Two possibiilities here:
1. Your start up disk is nearly full
Or
2. You have minor damage to the iPhoto Library and it's giving you a bogus message.
But here's the thing: A full start up disk is a very serious issue and needs to be dealt with fast.
So, how big is your Hard Disk? How much free space on it?

Ever since the most recent firefox update, every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it?

Every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it? When I restart firefox, then the download continues and all is well until I try to download something new (which I do quite often).

You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

HT1476 iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue?

iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue? It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5. It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house. At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too. This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road. Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

Do you really mean the latest, as in 11.0.1? That was supposed to include a fix for Airplay.

Thanks for the help. I installed CC and it fixed everything but Photoshop. I guess I will have to use my old laptop for images until Adobe fixes the problem. Do you know of a place where we can send issues like these to Adobe?

Is there a fix for OMF not working

I am fairly new to CS6 Premier Pro and just cannot get it to export OMF. I went the route of sending to audition, and after loading a fix there (it crashed halfway through the omf process) it did create omf's or so it seemed. There was no media in the resultant omf but the tracks and names were all there. Straight omf from PP simply does not work. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Jim, related issue for me.
Older version CS5. (I did not want to upgrade during project on advice of other editors).
The OMF export files stall, (many threads about that already). On camera audio (HDslr's) as bumpers with banter, then 48k masterd tracks from CD release.
Is my best bet to export as FCP XML, find a friend with FCP7 and have them ingest (then export) OMFs for me?
Deadline, and mastering session booked for today was put off until I can deliver OMF's to the session. Last night I assumed sending out OMF would be simple, having not used that before.
Turned out poorly it seems.
Any thoughts, from the savant realm?
Thanks!
Rob
