Pages problem - Only two fonts available in the Fonts window.

Hey there,
Would love some help on this one.
I am working in pages and when I bring up the Fonts window there are only two choices available (either with some text/object selected or not) - Helvetica 12.0 pt and Helvetica 9.0 pt. That's it. Nothing else.
Same thing no matter how many new documents I start with.. even opening templates presents no more options. The template fonts are in the template itself, can be selected and even prevew in the for window but are not in the list to be selected.
I tried resetting the font cache via these instructions -
http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-fonts-in-leopard-are-crazy-how-do-i.html
But no change.
Any help would dbe required as writing wedding invitations kinda needs to get done soon.
Thanks,

Peggy, you are a genius..
So **** simple!
What a tool I am.. the bizarre thing is that it didn't look like there were any more columns to display but sure enough, when I moved the window and stretched it out - there they were.
Thanks again..

I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.

Why don't some of my .ttf fonts appear in the font menu?

Hello,
I have a number of .ttf fonts installed on my system (located in Win7/Windows/Fonts folder) which do not appear in Flash or other Adobe applications such as InDesign. I did try putting them in the Fonts folder of these programs instead of the default Windows location but that didn't work! The fonts are available in the font menu in Microsoft Word 2010. The fonts all have a dot before the file name, see below. So could that be the problem? I am using some of them to type Vietnamese characters. Can anyone help?

That did it, thanks. Now they still don't.fully load but they do have links at the bottom to get the rest of the message.

Can we specify Font size in the Inspector window?

I am a whiz at MS Word. I'm totally lost in Pages. My current dilemma is how to specify the size of my text in the inspector window. Is it possible?
Currently, the only way I can change the font size is by clicking Format > Font > Show Fonts > and making the change in the new window. Is that the only way?
Sigh. Here's hoping I can figure out Pages soon or I'll be stuck in limbo, juggling both a PC and a Mac.

You might want to explore the keyboard shortcuts.
⌘ +T will show your fonts. (Lot easier than using the menu.)
I also changed the increase font size shortcut from ⌘ + and - to ⌘ + > or <, just like Appleworks. You can change the shortcuts using the keyboard system preference.
<ol type=>
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Keyboard & Mouse.
Click Keyboard Shortcuts.
To disable a shortcut, deselect the checkbox next to its description in the list.
To change the key combination for a shortcut, select the character in the Shortcut list. Type a new shortcut by holding down the key combination that you want to use instead.
Tip: You cannot use each type of key (for example, a letter key) more than once in a key combination.
Quit and restart any applications you are using for the new keyboard shortcut to take effect.

Font size in the folder window and feet thumbnails Adobe Bridge

I've been trying to figure out how to increase font size in the Folder window and foot Brige thumbnails, but can not find it anywhere.
I do not mean the font size in the window metadata. In that window I know how.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very much, as I have vision problems and the size of the letter have to much strain to read.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I imagined that this is not possible ..... I´ve given it a lot of thought before asking .....
As is the case with the brightness of the background area around the picture window in ACR (trim panels column and area around the image window), whose brightness dazzles enough to incorrectly assess the brightness of dark parts image and can not be changed (as can be done, however, in Bridge and Ps, even in the background of the image window's own ACR 8.4), this two questions should be posed to developers group Creative Cloud, as suggestions for future improvements that could be implemented .... But I have no idea how to do that .....
Again, thank you very much for your feedback.

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?

Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?

Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?
I'm not 100% sure but i may have had flash open when installing, i then uninstalled the font and then reinstalled the font. I even tried going from an OTF font to a TTF font.
No luck.
Do I need to do some sort of font cache clearing?

I'm using Adobe CS6 Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator on MAC OSX

Yes. It's rare, but some fonts do not play well with Flash. Flash seems to have a more strict method of evaluating a font that can be imported. This is, in my opinion, probably because Flash needs to create a faux version of a font when it is imported. There may be some information that is either missing or not acceptable to Flash in a particular font and so Flash won't allow it to be used - even if you're not going to import that font.

You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring.

Trying to open file in photoshop elements, only first option available in Edit Photo window. The other two has "Edit a Copy is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files" same for Edit Original.

Brand new user to Lightroom 5. Was following tutorials and doing fine editing. After done editing NEF files, I'm trying to open them in PSE 11 to further edit. Using the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor". But the window only has the first option available and the other two grayed out. Each of those has "...is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files." What??

sorry, no can do...ain't gonna happen.
What you've done is hit the wall on is the basic difference between lite duty spot healing and photo level tone and color correction (Lightroom and Camera Raw) and heavy duty pixel retouching in Photoshop.
When you need to substantially manipulate the "pixels" you need Photoshop and you'll be forced to render the raw file into a TIFF or PSD file either through Camera Raw or more better, via Lightroom.
You can do the basic tone and color correction directly in Lightroom and edit in Photoshop from Lightroom. But you will NEED to create and save out a "rendered" image that is no longer raw...then retouch to your heart's desire, save it and it'll be available in Lightroom along side your original raw if you choose.
But no, there's no way to open a raw in Photoshop, manipulate the heck out of it with massive retouching then save that back out as a raw file...ain't gonna happen.

greetings from berlin

Greetings,
It appears to be a FW problem, possibly flaky case, or drive problem.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems

Pages 5.5 is now available in the App Store.

Start the testing!
And let us know what works and what still doesn't.

Hi Peter. At first glance it looks great, you have so many options, but in practice they simply don't work. The only one that has all the tools is Microsoft Word, but the version for Mac is an old one and in the new OSX has a lot of bugs. For example, I can't personalize the size of the book because I use a specific size that is similar to a predefine one and Word changes the size automatically to that one, ruin my book. In large books, the lines disappear when you are scrolling, turning the work into a nightmare (you have to scroll back all the time or write random characters to be able to see the text again on the screen).
I was expecting a solution from Apple, because they should provide one (not necessarily for free). Writing software is the most basic tool of a computer and they can't depend on Microsoft to provide it (I have been waiting for more than two years for an update of Word). The only option I have is to pay $10 a month for Office 365, but I don't know how good it is and I simply don't like the idea of depending on being connected to the web to be able to work.
Well, the thing is that, no matter how many options you have, nothing works right now for Mac, you have to finish your work on a PC with Windows (which is insane. I moved to Apple and bough two Apple computers because I was tired of Microsoft and now I will have to sell my Macs and go back)
I didn't try Ulysses though, but my hopes are very low considering my previous experience with open software or third-party apps

How do i reconfigure my 2.1 system to a 5.1. Only two speakers play and the s

I have sound blaster li've and it was factory installed with a 2. Harmon cardon system. After going through 3 systems i changed and bought a 5. Altec Lansing but only?two speakers play and the sub is playing also. The sound card seems to accomodate the system so i am thinking i need to reconfigure the speaker output and i have no clue how to do this. Any help would greatly be appreciated!Thanks,Kim

What you could do before I suggest the last thing you may want to do is, if you know someone else that has a working 5. working configuration is to take your speakers over there and try them out or see if you could borrow someone elses speakers to see if they work.
The last thing if all else fails to work would be to wipe out the Windows directory and re-install Windows. There could be something that was installed previously that could be preventing your system from putting out a 5. surround sound. One other thing you could check is to see if in the BIOS if there is any on-board sound that is enabled and then disable the on-board sound to see if that may resolve your issue.

Building a page that only shows up once for the same user...

I've been asked to create a page that only shows up once for a user. This page is to include a form that the user fills out, but once the user has filled it out, they wouldn't see the page pop up ever again. Does anyone know the best way to do this?
I was told to build an ip logger that checks the database for ip addresses and only shows the page if the ip address is unique. That might be way beyond my ability. Is there a program out there that I could possibly use?
My client wants this done asap, so any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks in advance!

Some limitations of cookies are that user needs to enable cookies, cookies expire, cookies can be deleted by the client, and they're dependent on the machine/browser that the cookie was set to. Basically, by using cookies, you as a developer do not have any control over the presentation of the data for the visitor because the visitor can manipulate how the data is presented.
That means if more than one person shares the same browser on the same computer then after user 1 visits the page and sets the cookie then users 2,3,4 or whatever will not see the landing page that was intended for a first time visitor since user 1 already set the cookie. Once cookie expires the script will not see a valid cookie so the landing page will display once again. If cookies are disabled on the browser then a cookie will never be set and the landing page will always display. If cookies are enabled on the browser and cookie is set by a user then later the user deletes the cookie from their browser then the landing page will display.
Cookies can be set and checked using javascript or server side scripting. There's plenty of information on the limitations of cookies and how to set and check for set cookies if you search online for php cookies, javascript cookies, etc. or visit http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_cookies.asp
Control of your data from a database is the best method of development. If you do not have a registration system currently developed and it's imperative for each individual user to complete the form before continuing on to the site, then the form you speak of *IS* the registration form and should be developed with a database. What information does the user have to complete on this form?
Sometimes there are situations where you do not want to force a signup/login for the user to access a page, yet you still want to control data to some extent. In these scenarios the use of cookies is the only reasonable alternative, which is arguably better than using an IP method. It really all depends on the circumstances that are being considered. Personally I don't think this situation is well suited for cookies or IP use. Based off the information provided I believe this should be developed using a database and server side scripting. It also depends on the importance of the page that is being displayed after the landing page and the importance of the data retrieved from the submitted form on the landing page. If it's of low importance then go with a compromised method such as cookies or IP. If the data is important then use a database.

Can't change the font directly in the FONT MENU.

Recently I noticed a strange problem (?) When using my ADOBE INDESIGN CC 2014.2 When I try to use the fonts, I can only see a message asking me to connect with typekit .
But, even after connecting it to my adobe account, I can't access my local fonts. The only way to access my fonts is goint in the menu TEXT > Fonts (as seen below).
From there I can access all the fonts normally.
The program is updated and I have no idea how to solve it.
Can you please help me to solve this issue? Thanks a lot everyone!

Hi Isis,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. It looks like you have the Typekit filter turned on in the font menu, so it is only showing those fonts you have synced from Typekit. Since you haven't synced any, the list is blank.
To turn off the filter, click the grey T at the top of the menu.
Once the Typekit filter is turned off, you should see all of your installed fonts listed again.
Please give that a try, and let me know if you have any other questions. Best,
-- liz
