Old FM 5.2(Mac os9) to FM9 (windows7)

Hi everybody,
I was working on fm 5.2 with mac os 9, despite the non developping in OS X and hardware problems with my old Mac...
I decided to make the big jump : Os 9 to windows 7 and FM 5 to FM 9,
After a big problem to run FM 9 on windows 7 (hours on the phone with adobe support -very good guys!) , reinstalling all the system,
and installation of suitcase fusion 3, it works finally.
I have now a problem with framemaker : 
Fm 9 open the old files, the console mentions the missing fonts but there are still a lot of "?" in the document,
I can't select those "?", they are at the end of text bloks, i think that's a problem with fonts but when i change the font of the block by a similar one (futura mac by futura windows) the "?" stay at the end, i think it's an old variable that FM 9 doesn't recognize  ...
Somebody had the same problem ?
Could someone help me ?
Is there a special way to open old documents ?
Many thanks in advance for your answer

There is no special way, since opening files has no options or choices. Also with more recent documents there are (or have been) times when it's helpful to open and save them with an in-between version of FM, before opening them in FM9. This has been the case with some FM 7.x documents containing virtual fonts and foreign language encodings, which needed to be saved in FM8 before opening them in FM9 (fixed meanwhile).
It might be a good idea to open and save the files in FM 7. I still have a Mac version of FM7 running in classic, and also FM 7.2 (Win). If nothing else helps, we could try opening and saving the files with one of these versions, before transferring them to FM9.

  • Java webstart on Mac OS9.2

    Hi I have a java webstart application that uploads files to my website, I now have 2 people that want to upload to my site that are running mac OS9.2.
    They both seem to be having the same problem as that the java application just does not start. They both have Mac OS runtime for Java 2.2.5 installed
    Can someone give me some clues as to what may be going wrong and where to look on a mac as I have never owned one and have no idea.
    Thanks

    From that site:
    Mac OS Runtime for Java (MRJ) is Apple's implementation of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), based on Sun Microsystems' Java 1.1.8 specificationAlso from that site, there is a version 2.2.6 (fixes some Oracle bug)
    If you need anything other than 1.1.8, your only option is to ditch 9.2 (which is 5+ years old at this stage!) and get OS X

  • I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn't need it). I am totally happy with the

    I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
    I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
    I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
    After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
    “Welcome to Aperture 3.2
    Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
    Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
    Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
    Current Library Location:
    Jadzia (home)   -----Pictures------Aperture Library
                                                      QUIT             UPGRADE”
    I have heard horror stories  about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
    So here is my dilemma.  I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
    Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

    Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop.  Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
    You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file.  For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto. 
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

    I have purchased a new printer.  It is the same make as my old printer.  How do I remove the old printer from my Mac?

    you could see if that make of printer has an uninstaller (may come with the installer)
    or go to preferences, print and fax, and press the minus key   (  -   ) which should maybe remove it. Or ,do a a find, then type in the make of printer, and anything that looks like a printer driver for that make, well, maybe it's gotta go
    just an idea

  • Syncing iPhone from old PC to new Mac

    maybe the answer to this question is the same as if my new and old cpus are the same, but here it goes:
    i had a PC (HP laptop) for 2 years to which my iPhone 3G was synced. smartly, i just purchased the new Macbook Pro. i would like to sync my iPhone to the Macbook. do i simply transfer all my iTunes files to the Macbook (via an external harddrive)? it is my understanding that i will have to manually sync the songs back on to the iPhone, is this correct?
    also, how can i transfer the applications purchased via my iPhone?
    many thanks.

    You're welcome.
    After transferring your iTunes library from your old PC to your Mac following the instructions included with the link provided, when connecting your iPhone to iTunes on your Mac, the same selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your PC should be selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your Mac.
    Basically, I have 120 G of music and picked and chose about 14G for my iPhone. Is there a way to make that sync automatically or will I have to manually sync each song back onto my iPhone?
    Does this mean you have been manually managing music and videos with iTunes on your PC? If so, when switching from manually managing music and videos to syncing music, movies and tv shows will erased all music, movies, and tv shows from your iPhone first. You can accomplish the same with iTunes playlists. I have a primary iPhone playlist in iTunes for my iPhone where the majority of all music I want available on my iPhone is placed along with a number of other iTunes playlists I have created and chosen to be transferred to my iPhone. Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes you can choose sync selected playlists, artists, and genres. You can select your chosen iTunes playlists, artists, and genres in the windows below followed by a sync.
