New machine, can't add old fonts

I just upgraded my comp at work from a G4 to a power mac. When I try to copy over all of my old fonts, many won't allow me to add to font book, linotype font explorer or suitcase. Some fonts work, some won't that used to on my last computer. Fonts like MrsEaves, Univers, Orator and many, many more. Any idea why they worked on my last machine and not the new one? Is there anything I can do? Is font book the best program to use?

"Is there anything I can do?"
You can provide us with more details. Do you get an error message when tyring to add them? If so, what does it say?

It's self answering.
1. I assume, "D:\Program Files\Business Objects" is the install dir.
Add below line
D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\adhoc\res\adhoc_en.js
D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\adhoc\res\adhoc_ko.js
there is an line "var L_IMPACT="Impact";"
and ADD next new line "var L_ARIAL="(what you want)"; "
2 Edit below file
D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\adhoc\formatfield.html
1) Add option[5] like below
fontChoiceElement.options[5] = new Option(getLocalisationStringsObject().L_ARIAL, 'arial', false, false);
2) Also search similar sentence and add like below
case 5: // Arial
previewPaneElement.style.fontFamily = 'arial';
break;

If I back up my iOS devices on my iMac in the US, then do a time machine backup to an external HD, will I be able to plug the external HD into a brand new iMac in the UK and restore the new machine as per the old one, and restore my iOS devices?

Since you don't really have a question, I will give you a very broad information source for the next time you have a Time Machine question.
Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Oh, you cannot use a computer whose only disk drive is the target of a an OS X cloning operation regardless of what software is used for the clone. You can, however, use the source drive except if you try to clone using Disk Utility.

How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

I tried to use "Edit Document Text" Function. There is an error pop-up as " All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.". How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

It is referring to the fonts installed on your computer - to edit text within a PDF you must have the same font installed (i.e. one with the same PostScript name). Acrobat doesn't have a separate way to load fonts, you install them in the normal way through your operating system control panel after downloading/purchasing the font files from a vendor.

If you remove a backup from Time Machine, can you add it later?

if you remove a backup from Time Machine, can you add it back later? I have two backup sets active, but only one is connecting to a drive at the moment. It seems to be pausing TM for the inactive one, which is as I would expect, except that the menu icon for TM shows an exclamation point (= "waiting to backup"). I'd rather have that error / pause sign show if the ACTIVE connected drive is experiencing issues. It has zero diagnostic function as currently set up.
The solution would be to remove the backup drive from the TM list and then add it back later. I am just unsure if I can do this (will TM recognize the alternate backup set again if I re-add it?)

Yes, you can re-add it.

I just bought a new iMac and signed up for creative cloud, how can use my old fonts to update my work prior to my new set up?

can I load my old fonts somehow?

fonts are handled by your operating system. This has nothing to do with Adobe. You simply copy over the font files.

NEW back up drive for Time machine, can I move old back up to new drive?

I have been backing TM up to a GRAID external. I just bought a new 'toaster' with mirror back up for TM to use. Is there anyway to move the old back up files from the GRAID to the new toaster?

Clone the old backup drive to the new one:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new backup drive.
Source means the old backup drive.
Use the above procedure only. Do not attempt to copy by Drag and Drop or use a third-party backup utility unless it states that it qualifies for cloning TM backups.

Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
Regarding all 3 issues:
I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
cheers,
Joern

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

How can I add the font Baker Signet BT?

A student here, novice to InDesign looking to locate a specific font (Baker Signet BT) to a new doc. I have searched forums and it appears I'm missing something obvious.
Please help.
Thanks.

You have to own the font to use it. I may be wrong but I think it comes with CS. Check your install CDs. Otherwise you can buy it here for $29.
I'm guessing you don't use font management. If you're on a PC, add to font folder. If you're on a mac add to System>Fonts.

Migrated old back-up to new MacBook Pro, but now new machine doesn't recognize old back-up

So last night I migrated my old back-up to my new MacBook Pro, but this morning my new machine doesn't recognize my old back-up. I'd rather not erase and back-up from scratch for numerous reasons (losing the old data, time, etc).
Any suggestions? I'll bet this is a realatively common issue?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Looking back, at your original posts....it said it needed 774 GB?? is that at all reasonable for a full backup of your system??
Maybe there's something more than meets the eye?
Also maybe we can figure out what went wrong with the tmutil command. It is possible that you may have to use additional options.
But first le's see who owns the old backup....
From the terminal command line try this:
sudo xattr -l "path to your backup"
Where "path to your backup" is tha same path exactly as used in the tmutil command, that is:
/Volumes/"Backups Device Name"/Backups.backupdb/"Backup Name"
You should get something like this for output:
com.apple.backupd.BackupMachineAddress:
00000000 30 30 3A 31 64 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. |00:1d:..:..:..:.|
00000010 34 00 |4.|
00000012
com.apple.backupd.HostUUID:
00000000 41 34 32 30 43 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. |A420Cxxxxxxxxxxx|
00000010 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|
00000020 32 37 37 42 00 |277B.|
00000025
com.apple.backupd.ModelID: MacPro3,1
The "BackupMachineAddress" is the MAC address of the Ethernet port your mother board.
You can find the MAc address in About this Mac-> More Info. -> System report -> Network -> Ethernet 1
The "HostUUID" is the identifier of your mother board.
You can find it in About this Mac-> More Info. -> System report ->Hardware Overview [that's the first thing that shows when you select System report]
These are the way the connection of the backup to a machine is made.
Now the tmutil inheritbackup comand should have set them to the correct values for your new machine.
But let's' see if any of them match the new machine and then see of we haveany more options.

Can't import old fonts

I just got a new Intel iMac and had several fonts from a previous mac. They are in Font Suitcase form. For some reason, Font Book on my new iMac will not import them. They are not corrupt as they are still fine on my Powerbook. Do the new iMacs only read TrueType fonts or is there a way to use my old fonts?

Font Book's Help gives these instructions for installing fonts. Is this what you are doing?
Installing fonts
When you get new fonts, you can install them using Font Book. When a font is added in Font Book, it automatically appears in the available font lists in your applications and in the Font panel.
1. Insert the disc that contains the new font, or copy the font to your hard disk from another location.
2. Double-click the icon for the font in the Finder. Font Book opens and displays the font so you can see what the font looks like.
3. Click Install Font.
The font is automatically installed in your Library folder so it is available only to you. If you want to make the font available to all users of the computer, drag it to the Computer folder in the Collection column of Font Book.
You can change the default install location so that fonts are always available for all users of the computer. You can make this change in Font Book Preferences.
To see a list of the fonts installed in Mac OS X, click the link provided on this page to open the Apple Support website. Then search for "Mac OS X fonts list" and choose the article that corresponds to your version of Mac OS X. To verify which version of Mac OS X is on your computer, click Apple > About This Mac.

Can't add any fonts to font book

I can in no way known to me add any font to font book. (Known ways: from the menu, from the + button, double clicking the font file which then gets displayed in a font book window with an activate button—pressing that button.) Neither of these adds a font (legally owned, operational and running on a second mac flawlessly). I shifted my fonts folder, of course no change. I never experienced this. Any idea?

Font book does not add fonts regardless of restarting with shift held down - safe start.
That is correct. While in Safe Mode, you cannot add any fonts. The OS only allows certain necessary fonts to load.
If you mean you've done a Safe Mode boot and still cannot add fonts after restarting normally, then there are multiple possible problems:
1) The fonts are so badly damaged, they can't be used.
2) They are Type 1 PostScript fonts which are missing the suitcase of screen fonts. Printer outline fonts cannot be used alone.
3) The OS needs to be reinstalled.

New MacBook can't add OS X Server in Directory Utility

The first time I try it, I get a error -14071 (eDSInvalidReference). On the second try, I get -14740 (eServerSendError).
The only other workstation I have handy is a 10.4.11 iBook from which I can happily remove and recreate the binding.
Am I stuck on the bleeding edge? Has anyone gotten these new machines bound?
EDIT: During these attempts, Directory Service is indeed crashing. This is a COMPLETELY virgin MacBook.
