Launch Font Book (in your Applications folder).
Select the Helvetica font. Is it enabled? If not, enable it. Even if it is, disable it and re-enable it.
You do this via the Edit menu in Font Book, or using the little tick at the bottom of the font list.

I lost the ability to drag & drop files from the finder to dreamweaver

I recently upgraded to OSX Maverick and I lost the ability to drag and drop files to dreamweaver.
Is there a setting that I am unaware that restores this functionality?
Thanks

Hi All,
This bug has been fixed in the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014, which is now available for download.
Download it from https://creative.adobe.com/ or directly through the Creative Cloud desktop app.
We’re excited to hear back from you. Please share your feedback.

I feel better knowing I wasn't going crazy this morning. After spending the last 15 hours tweaking iTunes Match, I was afraid the service was draining my battery, but then I just let it sit idle on my desk at work and periodicaly checked it, every 30 minutes I lost 5% when it was in standby. When I was checking mail in 5 minutes, the battery drained 1% each minute. After a full night charge last night the day of standby has brought me down to 43%. I normally charge my 4s every other night, and I listen to Pandora and TuneIn Radio regularly. I have a feeling it hasn't affected everyone, just like I had no issue before, but clearly have a massive issue now.
SERIOUSLY, APPLE. Make an announcement acknowledging this garbage. If my device doesn't get its normal battery life back, the poor folks at my local Apple Store are going to have my family and I raging the place.

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

When I try to drag and drop my photos in iPhoto to an external drive (for backup or to transfer them to my other Mac) only some will transfer. If I copy

When I try to drag and drop my photos in iPhoto to an external drive (for backup or to transfer them to my other Mac) only some will transfer. If I copy and paste, the same thing happens. The photos are all taken with the same camera, but some will not transfer. It tells me right away - for example, I'll "grab" 3500 photos to drag and move, and the red ball will tell me it's moving 3256 or something. If I use the copy function instead - copy 3500 photos, it will show in Finder that I can paste 3256 or whatever. This happens on my iMac as well as my MacBook Pro. It started recently and I've never had this before. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Are you able to use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu to export the photos into a folder on the EHD?

Cannot drag and drop CERTAIN photos from iPhoto 9.5.1

I cannot drag and drop certain photos to the desktop (Mac OS X 10.9.3) from iPhoto 9.5.1
When I encounter this problem the pointer has a circle with a slash as I drag the photo to the desktop and the file will not copy over. I'd say 25% of my photos suffer from this problem.
Some things of note:
- photos that are affected have been taken by variety of devices: iPhone, DSLR camera, or scanned in from film (no device is specific to this problem)
- a photo that cannot be copied is located in the same subfolder as one that can be copied so it's not folder specific
- I have trashed the iPhoto prefs files as well as the cache file in Mac OS X 10.9.3
- I have repaired permissions and the database as well as rebuilt the database in iPhoto all to no avail
Help!

For some unknown reason I have lost the ability to drag and drop in OS 10.7.5

I searched through the discussions and could only find entries pertaining to files that wouldn't release once picked up. I can'teven do that. I ran "Verify Disk Permisions" and am currently waiting for "Repair Disk Permissions" to finish. I could run Tech Tool Pro, am I missing anything? Why do I get the feeling I'll have to reinstall the OS? If I do, is it just a matter of reinstalling Lion or will I need to format the whole HD?
Thanks,
Carl

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

I seem to have lost the ability to sync video playlist and loop it

I had to replace the airport card in my original AppleTV, reset to factory settings and upgraded to the latest version of the AppleTV software and now I can sync the videos (QT versions of Keynote presentations that we loop and play on a big screen in the entry hall of the church) but I can't see the playlist they they are in and don't see how to loop them. Was this changed in the latest version of the AppleTV software? If so, is there a way to go back to a previous version but not the factory original because it didn't do the looping either.

Ahhhh - I found the applicatins folder - it is not in there either. When I searchd for iPhoto I did get a message saying I may have to reinstall it as it is not compatible with this version of the iOS. I updated to this Mountain Lion version some timeback and only recently wanted to use the iPhoto app - so - maybe it was lost when I updated to the new iOS.
I will be very upset if I lose all my photos in it.

Drag and drop imported photos in iPhoto '09 causes duplication of old existing photos and loss if new photos

Good Afternoon All,
I'd be grateful for any help with the following problem.
     After importing about 30 photos from my camera into iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2), I selected the first group of 10 and dragged and dropped them into an existing album in my iPhoto library.        I repeated this process with another group of photos , dropping them into a different existing album. Again, I repeated this process with the last remaining photos from the original imported group of 30.
      This is exactly the same process I have used successfully on many previous occasions when adding to my iPhoto library of 6000+ photos.
       However when I later opened each of the 3 existing albums to check on the 30 new photos none of these new photos were visible.     Instead each of the three albums now contained between 5 and 15 duplicates of old photos from different and unrelated albums in addition to their normal content.       These duplicates were not present before I imported the 30 new photos.    I then opened every Album in my entire library of 6000+ photos without finding any sign of the 30 new photos.   These 30 photos have also disappeared from "Last Import" which now shows a blank page with 0 imports.
     I still have the 30 new photos saved on my camera and could import them again. My concern is that with my very limited diagnostic skills re. my iMac OS X (10.6.8) I may aggravate the problem
Thank you

Morning Terence
                         Thank you for your suggestion. When I held the Option Key and opened iPhoto the resulting menu showed 2 libraries , "iPhoto Library" and "iPhoto Library (default )".
     I then recalled that 12 months ago I had created this duplicate library when attempting to recover some lost photos.    On opening each of these two libraries in turn, I notice that they are not identical. Rather than create another new library, I imported some new photos into "iPhoto Library " and was then able to drag and drop successfully into this library.    When I tried to do the same with "iPhoto Library (default )" all the problems originally described re-occured.
     Having found the problem is in the Default library I would now like to move some photos from it into "iPhoto Library" and then remove the Default Library.
     Could you recommend how best to do this or is it not a good idea?
Regards.....Gilvin

I Cant Drag And Drop my photos in iphoto 08

it said in the tutorial that i can drag and drop photos from one folder to another but nothing happens..this is the worst software i have ever used.i wish i could sell mine..

Hi
I think I know what's happening as I'm having the same problem.
Under previous iPhotos you could look at the main viewer and drag a photo or multiple photos from there to an already created album.
Now, it only appears that you can drag an entire event from the events window to an album, even when you click on an event to open it, you can't drag individual photos from an event to an album.
So how do we add individual photos to an album??

I also cannot access part of the App Store, I have been trying to down load a magazine app, it has been trying to connect but it has been taking a long time. Also since I did my last update I have lost the ability to face time, I also cannot open iPhoto's

Since my last update on the newest version iPad I have not been able to download a magazine app that I have a subscription for as well I cannot open iPhoto's or video. When I go into settings and go down to where iTunes Mail etc are it freezes my I pad and I cannot access these. Is there a apple system problem? This has been going on for over a week now.

For FaceTime try the troubleshooting advice given here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
Also try resetting your iPad:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

I can no longer drag and drop my photos from iPhoto to external drive or desktop :(

My husband was using the laptop and I'm afraid he may have deleted the original pictures on the hard drive. I can see the thumbnails of all of my pictures but I can't do anything with them. I also have the photos in Photoshop Elements and only see a ? on the thumbnail. When I try to reconnect it says it can't find the file.
I am new to using a Mac as well as any of the software so I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
As I sid above:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

Haven't really used any of them including VLC - actually use netflix on the ipad more than anything. I was able to drop an mp4 into imovie on my ipad and see it there. This was something I had shot as avhcd and converted with turbo.264. Played fine. Probably not what you want for a movie player though.
Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)

I've lost the ability to grab the corners of boxes and scale...Help!

Mac based, Illustrator CS3. I've suddenly lost the ability to grab the corners of boxes and scale in illustrator - i must have accidentally turned something off - can someone tell me what i did worng and how to fix it? It's driving me crazy to scale mechanically. I want to grab and drag! Please? Thank you!Mac

Hit these keys Command Shift B at the same time
It is a toggle for View. Show/Hide Bounding Box
The most common accident in Illustrator everyone does this.
Also be aware of command H for hide edges another accident often happens.
