Need help with Tamil unicode fonts in Macbook OSX 10.6.7

I am really desperate for some help figuring out my Tamil unicode font problem. With great difficulty I got all these fonts set up on my previous ibook G4. When that computer died in the fall I got this new Macbook, and had all my data brought from the old computer to the new one. Fonts were working great, as before. Well recently I had a hard drive failure on my new Macbook (OSX 10.6.7). I now have a new hard drive, and I brought over all my data from an external hard drive using Time Machine. Everything appeared to be working great....except the Tamil fonts. Previously I was using Murasu Anjal unicode font which allowed me to type in Tamil font and view Tamil on webpages, no problem. I understand that Snow Leopard has Tamil font support (including Anjal), so I am confused as to why they were working before but are not working now-especially because on my husband's Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.5) you can see Tamil fonts on webpages and he has no special Tamil font installed whatsoever. For me the only thing visible is boxes. I am in the midst of finishing up a dissertation which is really dependent on being able to read and write in Tamil fonts. I am desperate to get this fixed but just cannot seem to figure it out. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice!!! Thanks so much!!!

I've always used the Anjal keyboard with no problem...at least there was no problem before my MacBook hard drive had to be replaced, with a newer operating system, as I had mentioned previously. When I type in Pages, NeoOffice or TextEdit, the results are the same. Many of the characters show up, but vowel combinations--especially the "o" or "u" vowels--show up incorrectly or are unintelligible. Strangely, typing in Tamil font (using Anjal keyboard) in internet searches works perfectly, but ONLY in Firefox (?) NOT in the Safari browser. Prior to re-installing the InaiMathi font, which had seemingly vanished with the transfer of my data to the new hard drive, I was unable to type Tamil anywhere, not even in Firefox. Now it works only in Firefox. For example, if I were to type in Tamil in this window, it works fine: தமிழ் நாடு.
Being able to do Tamil searches in Firefox as I had previously is really a major boon for me, but of course I'd love to be able to produce Tamil text, especially as I am about to embark on a 6 month research jaunt to South Asia.
Many thanks for all your help thus far, and for any further advice you might have.

On Windows 7, CS6 all products, but especially need help with ID. Fonts that are showing in other applications are not showing in ID.

The ID Program folder will be relevant to your OS...
I took a shot and right clicked on my Scripts Samples, choose reveal in Explorer and opened up the ID Program folder.
As shown, there is a Fonts folder.
Drag/Copy/Paste fonts to this folder.

Need Help With Appleworks Files on New Macbook

Hey Everyone,
I had an old iMac blueberry with OS 9.2 using appleworks. I just bought a MACBOOK and i got iWORK and MS OFFICE 2004 installed on it. How can i get my appleworks files to open up on my new MACBOOK.
please help
-

will Appleworks transfer and run on an INTEL based
MAC?
AppleWorks 6 is a "package" that contains both a Classic (Mac OS 9) application and an OS X application. The rest of what's essential to AppleWorks 6's operation is included in the other items inside the AppleWorks 6 folder. AppleWorks will generate all needed items outside this folder when it is run.
The OS X application will operate (and operate well) on the intel based Macs using Rosetta, which is included with these machines. AW 6.2.4 and AW 6.2.9 (IN Mac OS 9, the version numbers on the splash screen and in About AppleWorks for these two are 6.2.3 and 6.2.8) are the most stable and least error prone in OS X; update before or after the transfer if you have earlier versions.
Remember also that your AppleWorks license allows for only one copy to be installed on a computer. If you want to continue to use AppleWorks on the G3 iMac, you'll need to purchase a retail copy to install on the MacBook.

Barry

Need help with loading Windows 7 onto Macbook Pro - Bootcamp and parallels

Hi,
I have a windows PC and changing over to a Mac. I purchased today Parallels and Microsoft Office for Mac in order to use them on the MacBook.
Also please note - I need to use Bootcamp for some programs that I need to use - and then also be able to use parallels.
Where I am up to at the moment is - since there is no disc drive on the laptop where I can insert the disc - I have gone onto my PC and downloaded the Windows 7 usb/dvd download tool setup - however I dont know where I find the ISO file for Windows 7? So if someone could help me with that.
Alternatively - can someone please let me know if I can just pay and download Window 7 for Mac - and then run it through boot camp etc. If someone can please give me some advice on this - and also a handy step by step guide on how to achieve it.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!!!! I really appreciate it!
K

Thanks Clinton - When I went into Apple store today, I told him about the programs my husband needs to use for a CBUS course. The guy there said his room mate has done the same thing and cannot use parallels for the programs they need to run (it doesnt seem to work properly) so he is using boot camp to run them and it works fine. So I am wanting to run Boot camp first and then once the course is finished run everything through parallels.
So I have gone into Boot Camp - and because there is no Disc drive I cannot insert the disc - so I have gone back onto the PC to put windows onto a USB to then use with Bootcamp. I just cannot find the ISO file path for Windows.
I hope this all makes sense!
I am thinking I maybe i will buy the windows ISO file instead of trying to hunt it down on the PC. Do you think this is the best way to do it?

Previous PC user needs help with setting up iphone on Macbook

I just started using the Macbook and will be using this as the primary computer. My iphone 3G was previously syncing to my previous HP PC. I tried plugging in my iPhone to the Macbook and it definitely reads it....but how do i get the Macbook set up so that it serves as "home base." I didn't see any of the applications that i previously had on the PC itunes iPhone page as on the itunes on the Mac. i thought this would happen automatically. I just need a method of being able to update the apps if need be. Or do i need to use the PC for that?
guidance please.
thanks

Your itunes does not automatically show up on your new computer.
You have to move it there. You can use your back up to do this or the Apple Store will do it for you, or you can call Apple support and they will help you do it.

IRRC the default is unchecked.

Hi, I'm trying to read from JTextArea and send String object to ObjectOutputStream. It's working if language is English. But when I change langue to Arial Cyrillic instead of representation of russian letter it send only question mark. What can I do? How to set different language set in the JTextArea ?

Thank Paul
I was able to figure out my problem. It was in the part of saving into the text file. What I have to do � change encoding
Here is the sample of my code
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream ( logFile.getName(),true );
OutputStreamWriter aaa = new OutputStreamWriter( fos , "Cp1251");
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter( aaa );
Thank for your response.

Need help with Airport Express and so on.

Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.

DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,
Nicolas.
(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.
