Missing Font on Devices Page in Itunes

I'm still having issues with my font on the device page in itunes 10.1. I've updated my font and that fixed half of my problems. I ran a font patch for windows vista and that didn't help. Before I updated my font, all text was missing on the device page in itunes. After the update most of the labels are back. The only font missing now is inside the sub boxes on all the pages. Even the Sync button isn't labeled.

it says I need permission to delete this file
Okay ... we could be looking at disk/file damage, then. I've seen that hit people in their fonts like this in some other contexts.
[We'll first try running a disk check (chkdsk) over the C drive. There's Vista instructions in the following document.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-for-errors (Check your hard disk for errors)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. You'll probably need to schedule the scan to run on restart. The disk check should take quite a while to run. If it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, do the remaining display issues clear up?

Missing Fonts on a pages document

I just opened a Pages document that I have opened many times before and it said error occured - aril Mt and and another arial MT bold of some sort font is missing.
I have never goofed with any fonts errors since I went to Macs maybe 6 years ago. It says to add it to your folder or just ccancel or continue.
how do i add it? where do i get it from and what folder do I insert in into when i find these 2 fonts?
Why did this happen?
I am stumped.
This is on a powerbook 12". I have not been able to check my macbook pro yet.
thank you.

I tried to summarize previous comments on this subject and ended up with this:
Pages can be very picky about fonts, even fonts you do not visibly use in a document. It is for example possible that a Style you do not use contains a font that is missing. It may also be part of a bullet list.
* Use Applications > Font Book to make sure you really have all the fonts that Pages complain about. If you do not, get them.
* If you think the missing fonts may come from MS Office you can go to Mactopia to download a test drive, which will install the fonts.
* If you think the missing fonts come from Pages, reinstall Pages.
* In Font Book, highlight the fonts Pages complains about, and go to File Validate, to make sure they are ok. Make sure there are no duplicates active.
* In the Finder, highlight the files of the fonts that Pages complains about. Drag them from the Fonts folder to the desktop and then back again to the Fonts folder.
* You can also try Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Permissions. (To be honest, I do not think I have ever heard of this actually fixing any problem, but it is theoretically possible.)
* Some people have reported solving the problem by "cleaning" the document saving it to another format. Try for example saving your Pages 2.0 document as Pages 1.0 and then reopen it. Warning! You may loose formatting here, so keep the original as back up.
* Restart.

Missing Font Warning in Pages

I transferred a Word file from a PC and when I open it in Pages I get a Missing Font Warning. How can I find where the words or characters that use that missing font are, so I can change the font.
Is there a way I can search for or highlight any words or characters that use a particular font?
Or is there a way I can highlight all of the other known good fonts I am using so that I can isolate the words or characters with the missing font?
Also, can I find out what font has been substituted for the missing font?
I want to be able to replace the "missing font" with one of the two good fonts I am using in the rest of the document.

If I remember well, the warning tell us the name of the replaced fonts.
So we may use the script which is available on my iDisk since 6 juin 2008 to replace the missing fonts by the ones we want to use. It was written to respond to a clone of your question.

Missing Fonts Error Message-Pages 2.0.1

I created a brochure with Pages (2.0.1) - No problems. I reopened the brochure and saw an error message stating that there were "missing fonts." I have one Admin account and one User account. I installed the application under the User account and created the brochure under the User account. I have not moved or added any fonts - Only have fonts that came with the OS and that were installed by Pages. Please help! This is VERY annoying. Can not find help under OS or Pages help topics.

I had this problem a while back. Sometimes the package info gets confused and you end up with a font that doesn't exist. It tends to happen when converting files from Word but it can happen within Pages. Selecting all the document and changing the font wont correct it however there is a way to solve this:
Open script editor and enter the following script:
tell application "Pages"
tell front document
set aRef to a reference to (every character of body text whose font name is "ENTER MISSING FONT NAME")
set font name of aRef to "ENTER NEW CHOSEN FONT"
end tell
end tell
Ensure Pages is open and the document is open. Compile the script and run it. Now wait as it takes a while for the script to run and there is no indication it is running. When the script editor is done close the doc and reopen it.
Ensure that you enter the precise name of the font that Pages says is missing and the new one you want to replace it with. If it's misspelt it wont work.
Also this only works on Pages 2, not on Pages 1.

Why is there no Sync over wifi option on devices page in itunes?

I have downloaded and installed both itunes 5 and ios 5. However, I go to my iphone page, click summary, scroll all the way down the page, but can't find the option to sync over wifi. What is happening here, and how can I get that option?

If that's true, that's ridiculous since it works on Windows 7. Someone running OSX 10.5.x can't run it but Windows can??
It even works on the 10yr old Windows XP.

What is included in the catagory of "other" at the bottom of the device page in itunes?

The catagory of other continues to grow on my iphone. It is now 3Gb and I don't even know what it is.

"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
Probably a few I've missed. There was a problem in an earlier version where deleted MMS messages left behind their attachments, but that has been fixed as of 6.1. The reason that deleting music recovers some Other space is because it delete cover art. But is also screws up your music, which will no longer play correctly.
You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 1 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.

HT203175 My ITunes software on my Dell computer is not displaying the menu items or the windows content of my music. The menus are active, but you cannot see the choices. I suspect a missing font set. Any suggestions before I trash the whole environmen

Loading the last two versions of the ITunes software to my Dell computer has produced unacceptable results. None of the pull down menus are showing the menu choices and none of the content on my IPod Touch shows up in the appropriate window. As a result, I have an interface with no functionality. It does still sync my Touch but that is all. I assume a missing font set. Any suggestions on how to correct these issues.
I also now get a message that ITunes cannot play back anything on my computer and a request to reinstall the software - which I have done multiple times both the original and the upgrade.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto? I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!

I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :

Can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

That .itl file actually is the library -- at least the critical part of it although the library is actually many files and folders.
Try starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key. When it asks, guide it to the .itl file.
It's really hard to say without being able to poke around your computer. Upgrading should not delete the old library, but still it happens to the very, very few which is why we make backups before updating. If the old library file is gone then so are your playlists. You can always see if the following is of any use:

Missing fonts warning when adding pages to a book

I have a book with 13 documents added and 105 total pages. I have 10 master pages set up, and each time I add (or delete) pages to a document, I get warning: "The document <doc>.indd needs to be updated but has missing fonts. It may recompose with a default substitute font and result in inacurate page numbers. Do you want to continue updating numbering?" If I click OK to continue updating the numbering, sometimes an extra page gets added somewhere else in the document. Preflight Book is not showing any errors and I also tried looking at the preflight panel in each of the 13 documents. Neither says anything about a missing font. How else can I find it? Thanks!

It could be in overset text (though preflight should see that) or in a style not currently in use. Are you sure the priflight profile is looking for missing fonts, bucasue is really does sound like there is substitution ocurring. Also, have you looked in Type > Find Font.
If none of that is fruitful, I'd try exporting each of the documents to .inx or .idml, then opening those and saving as new .indd docs. Add the new docs to a new book and see if you still get errors.

On Pages 09. Error Message "Missing Font" - text on all my files/Documents has disappeared. I know it is still there from the word count - but it is invisible. Any clues Gratefully received.

What version of Pages '09?
Have you updated it to the latest iWork '09 v4.3?

Is there anyway to find a new font on Pages for iPad? The letters are hard like a rock when you use foreign languages like Thai. The fonts on device do not support foreign language.

These are user to user help forums. To tell Apple you want more fonts for Thai, go here:

But I suspect this is likely one of those things for which you will always have to use a full computer rather than a iPad.

Missing Arial-BoldMT font from every page.

Surely someone else has experienced the nasty error window that pops up the very first time you visit any one of your pages from within iWeb?
I've resorted to changing all the fonts to web-safe fonts on a page to no avail. The error continues to haunt me.
If I could find a copy of this font out there somewhere I'd simply add it to my Font Book...but it doesn't seem to be readily available. For free that is.
TIA, Gramps.

WooHoo, give that dope (me) a star!!
Apparently the cat (always blame the cat) deleted some of my Arial fonts. I copied all Arial fonts onto a USB drive from another similar Mac and then had Font Book put them in place. Deleted all duplicates, and I'm back in business. Error window is history.
Going to go and take a "Smart" pill now...

Podcast items not showing on Podcast Page in iTunes App

The Podcast items of the following Podcast are not showing when I choose to see the Podcast page within iTunes App: https://itunes.apple.com/ch/podcast/uzh-news-video-und-audio/id626789977?l=en
It's possible to subscribe to the podcast, and all items are being shown in the library as well, but not in iTunes Store View within iTunes App.
Please help : )
Devices: Desktop (iTunes 11.02), iPad 2 & iPhone 4S (both with latest iOS) - same problem everywhere

Hi Roger
Many thanks for your very fast answer! : )
In the meantime, we scanned the XMLfrom the RSS-Source (http://www.uzh.ch/news/topics/multimedia.rss) but we could not confirm any missing </image> closing tag.. : /
You're speaking of 21 instances of 'image' tags while there are only 20 items available in this feed - maybe the 21st might be the <itunes:image... />-tag (for the podcast art) which is not in need of a closing tag?
We know that iTunes doesn't like our image tag on item level. However, we do need this tags for other usage of this video-article-feed (f.ex. normal RSS feed subscribing) which is why we cannot remove it. But: do you know of any «trick» of specifically blocking that element for iTunes store since its troubling the latter so much?
Many thanks again, and our kindest regards to you and beautiful Londontown : )
Martina
