Packaging book on Mac

I have an InDesign book that I received in a ZIP file from someone in another company that is working on a Mac. It contains a folder called FONTS, with the fonts used in the book files. I'm working on a Windows 7 system running InDesign CS6.
Some of the files in the FONTS folder are OTF and TTF fonts that I can install on my system. The other files have names such as ShakaZul and ShakaZulBol, and their file sizes are zero. Of course, when I try opening any of the INDD files, InDesign tells me there are missing fonts.
Is there a way to package the InDesign files on the Mac so all the fonts come across and I can open the files on my Windows system?
Thanks!

The Mac can use both, WIndows and Mac fonts.
Windows cannot use Mac fonts.
The problem is the lack of compatibility on Windows.
For cross OS projects you should use OTF fonts, they are the same on WIndows and Mac.
Those fonts inside the Font folder you should be able to install them as long as they are OTF and TTF font.
The zero sized files are no fonts but a kind of sidecar file of files with a similar name, these are not visible on the Mac but help on mac to display their mother files correctly. They are not important.
Which version are you using? If you get files from the other with a Font folder they have to have an older version. You must have the same or a later version to open them. How does it work, when you rename the Font to "Document Fonts"?

Without office installer dvd: visit office.microsoft.com, go to Store, and then select Office Products. Download/purchase what you need.
If you have the office installer dvd already, and another Mac with a dvd drive neearby, the other Mac (with DVD Sharing enabled) can host the dvd and you can access it from your macbook air using Remote Disc. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US
You can also opt to buy a separate Apple USB Superdrive.

Failed to package book for print - now hundreds of links are broken

Hi,
I have a book document with 32 pages (newspaper) locally on my mac. As I always do after finishing my document, I chose to package the book for print, and save it to CC files server. The packaging process never finished, so after 30 minutes I had to force shut-down on InDesign. When re-opening the book file, I discover that ALL the documents has broken links. Some of the links belongs to the master pages, and most are specific to only this document, and they are located in several different folders on my mac. It will take hours to re-locate all of this links for each page.
I think I have been experiencing this before, but miraculously it all changed back to normal. Now, however, a restart of my mac didm´t do anything.
Why is this happening, and do anyone have a quick solution to fix this?
Thank u in advance

Are you talking about what I said - "Seems like in the past, I saved a copy of my book, then packaged the copy for print?"
I thought that was the only way around it. I feel certain I will not make this mistake again. Luckily, most printers I work with prefer pdfs. It's just an insane bug. If it's not a bug, it's a major flaw in the program. People do package books. The option wouldn't be in there if we didn't do it sometimes.

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

I try to download the newest version of iTunes, but get the following message: "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5." What do I do now?

I try to download the newest version of iTunes, but get the following message: "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5." What do I do now?
I have Mac OS X 10.4.11, and don't know how to upgrade to 10.5.

Here are ways to update to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7):
http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
It requires you to have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) installed, which can be obtained from the Apple Store.
You being on Mac OS X 10.4 makes it an old system, 10.6 and 10.7 require an Intel processor at least with Lion demanding an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor.
What system do you have?

Time Machine backup very slow on WD My Book For Mac external HD

I have been using a Western Digital 1 TB external HD (My Book For Mac) to backup my data today for the first time, using their SmartWare software. Everything went smoothly, I backed up 91 GB of data in 2-3 hours.
At the same time, I have also Time Machine activated, which started backing up my files a while ago, but it is crawling at 8 MB per minute. A quick calculation tells me it will take 180 hours to back up 90 GB (?).
I have 2 questions:
1. Are SmartWare and TimeMachine supposed to be run exclusive of each other?
2. If I just ran TimeMachine, why is it so slow? I use a USB 2.0 connection that worked fine for the My Book's own software.
Thanks for your help!

You should first repartition and format the drive. Most likely it is setup for use on Windows. Try this:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Do not use the WD software. If it's you wish to create a bootable backup of your drive as well as keep a TM backup, then you should create two partitions on the drive. One for your non-TM backup and one for TM. For the bootable backup use third-party software such as SuperDuper!, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SilverKeeper - Download at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Note that many WD drive systems cannot be used for bootable backups. You can find information related to this at the WD web site.

Is a WD My Book for Mac compatible with OS Yosemite?

Is there an External Hard Drive that works with OS Yosemite. I bought a WD My Book for Mac External Hard Drive, but it appears from what I have since read that it isn't compatible with OS Yosemite.

Although Yosemite isn't specifically mentioned as one of the operating systems for which the WD My Book for Mac external hard drive is compatible, I have been able to complete an initial backup with the drive after designating the appropriate settings in System Preferences for my iMac.
Yes, as you should have been able to. When a company like WD (or Seagate, Hitachi, etc.) say they're not compatible with a particular OS, they mean their supplied disk utilities haven't been updated yet. It has nothing to do with the physical drive itself. And you really don't ever want to use the software they include for backups, speeding up disk access or anything else. Delete all of that junk.
I have to ask. What do you mean by appropriate settings in System Preferences for my iMac ? Time Machine I presume?

I have a multifunctional Canon i-SENSYS MF4140 and Mac Book Air Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion (11D50b). I have a problem because I can not scan, it is not driver for this application?

I have a multifunctional Canon i-SENSYS MF4140 and Mac Book Air Mac OS X10.7.3 Lion (11D50b). I have a problem because I can not scan, it is not driver for this application?

I see printer drivers from Canon for that printer for OS X 10.7. but not scanner drivers. If the MF4140 is not recognized by the Image Capture application and Canon technical support cannot offer any assistance, all I can think of to suggest is to try a third-party scan application such as VueScan:

They offer a free trial period so you can see if it works with your Canon.

Can Anyone Recommend Books About Mac and Tiger?

Hello,
I'm heading back to the homeland for a short visit in a week's time. I'd like to buy a book that can explain a few things about Tiger so I don't always have to visit the Apple Store and bother the Geniuses there.
Can anyone recommend any good books about Mac and Tiger? I know of "Mac For Dummies" but I've never been a big fan of that series. Cheers and thanks.

Hi, jasperboy.
My "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ has a number of resources that you will find helpful including books, online training, and more.
Good luck!
