Please help! Installed fonts just stopped showing up in CS4 MAC, how do i get them back?

Hi there,
I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8
still on Adobe CS4, i initially had problems getting CS4 to see my installed fonts when upgraded to Snow Lepoard, googled the problem, tried several different things for hours - something worked not sure what exactly but CS4 started seeing all of my installed fonts.
Now all of a sudden, they are not showing up again, i have not downloaded anything, installed anything, moved anything - were all there and working last week, and then this week they are not.
I have 1060 fonts installed - work for an agency with hundreds of different clients so need a lot of fonts. Am not using any font manager - just fontbook, is that the issue? all 1060 fonts are showing up as installed in Fontbook....
I have some fonts in HD>library>fonts, and also fonts in user>library>fonts, could this be the issue? is it best to have them in just one place? if so which folder is best to have all fonts in?
I know indesign has its own font folder - which is now where it seems to be reading fonts from, and illustrator is reading its fonts from somewhere else - only about 30-40 are showing up there, system fonts folder i'm guessing?
How can i get indesign and illustrator to read fonts from my actual font libraries?
any help is much appreciated! Our graphic design team of 2 are the only ones on macs so all our IT support guys are PC based and never know anything on how to fix mac issues so i'm on my own with this issue!
Thanks
Mel

If you are managing fonts with font book, then all should be well. Something else is going on. Try installing Onyx and use that to delete all your caches including your font cache. You willl need to restart your computer after clearing your caches.

  • Iphoto just lost my last import of pictures, how can i get them back?

    Uploaded my pictures on iphoto, when I went to add location to them, iphoto crashed, and i had deleted them fr0m my scan disk card. Help how can I get them back.

    iphoto crashed, and i had deleted them fr0m my scan disk card.
    What happens now, when you open iPhoto? Are the photos not showing in the library or iPhoto still crashing?
    What is your current iPhoto version?
    If you imported the photos into iPhoto, but are no longer seeing them after the crash, try if rebuilding your iPhoto library will find the photos inside the library. Rebuilding might collect them in a "recovered"  event.
    To rebuild: That will depend on your iPhoto version - this article explains it for the older versions:
    iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
    For iPhoto '11 look at Old Toad's post here:

  • I've re-installed Lion using the cmd-r/boot re-install option and now all iLife apps are missing, how do I get them back?

    Hi Folks,
    after about 10 hours of usage, my new (and I mean new and expensive) MacBook Pro refused to boot. The support folks were good and as I hadn't yet created and files on the machine suggested I just did (as suggested by apple) a wipe and re-install as described in the subject line.
    Now I have no iPhoto, no iDVD and a few other apps I don't really care about. What can I do to get them back.
    please help, loseing the will to live here after trawling 2 hours of old posts
    best regards,
    Sam.

    Hi Twitty,
    hmm, I knew I was missing something fairly obvious. I went into AppStore and the apps were there with an "accept" option rather than a price. I've started the download.
    I've no idea if this means I'll be charged or not. I never got a screen with a price on it so hopefully not.
    thanks for your quick response,
    Sam.

  • HT201250 i have lost all my pics on my mac how do i get them back on my new install from my time capsule

    how do i get a back up from my time machine?
    i tried to load windows on my mac did not work had ti install snow lep all over again
    i wanted to recover from my time capsule to recieve all my pics ect but when i go into time machine i have to set it all back up again how do i find my saved files from the last time it backed it up no dates or days nothing ?? have i lost all of my data???

    As you erased the drive and reinstalled Mac OS X, Time Machine detects it as a new OS X copy, so it's normal you can't see your old backups. To solve this, see > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html
    If you want to restore all your old data, use Migration Assistant instead > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html It will create a new user with your transferred files

  • After updating firefox my Reload Page and Stop Loading Page buttons disappeared. How do I get them back?

    see question

    In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
    When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
    If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

  • I bought my friend's old ipod, she wants some songs back but they won't show up on iTunes. How do i get them back?

    My friend upgraded to a touch and in turn gave me her old classic. She put a whole bunch of music on there from different cd's but after seeing what she still had on it she realized she lost some of those songs on her computer. I tried to get them off with the transfering puchased music, but they won't come off! She bought this music fair in square and would like to have them back. How in the world do i get them back to her?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    As the songs came from her computer in the first place, so they should still be there and should be included in her regular backup copy of her computer.
    You need to restore the ipod, erasing all of the music as you have no legal right to it.

    Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.
    Also see:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    since you may have started the 90 day window.
    For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

  • I just updated my iPod touch and all my pictures are gone!!! How do I get them back? Please help!!!

    I just updated my iPod touch 4th generation to iOS 6.0.1 and all my pictures are gone!!! Everything else is there but my pictures! How do I get them back? Please help!!!

    If the photos were i your iPod's Camera Roll album (taken by or saved to the iPod you can:
    - If your PhotoStream is on you can get the last 30 days worth back. See that topic here:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Or you can restore from backup if you backed up when the photos were on the iPod.
    If the photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time.

  • My ebay toolbar and the ebay logo that was in my system tray at the bottom have both disappeared when I installed FireFox??? How do I get them back? Please help.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    Regards

    If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
    All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
    This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

    Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.
    How to backup and restore from a backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing.

  • I seem to have lost all of my playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back? Dont know what I did wrong? Please Help

    I seem to have lost all my original playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back, where did I go wrong?
    If I was to press "restore" does this wipe everything off my library? I always thought that you could never loose songs? That they were always stored somewhere
    in there. Please help,

    If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
    You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
