Reinstalled OSX 10.4.11 wont see old fonts

Reinstalled my system for various issues. Had logos created in PS CS and saved as .psd files leaving type on live layers. The fonts used are now not recognized by the system. I have the old fonts on an old G4 using OS9 that still work there, but when I try to copy them back to the newly installed OS on the G5 the G5 OS won't see them. Why?

I Found the culprit in Helvetica Fractions, a font I installed in my system that, I think overrode the ID.# of Helvetica and became the default font for Mail. What took me so long was finding preferences, which was, as far as I'm concerned, hidden in the upper right corner of the accounts page. Anyway, thanks for the help.
By the way, I tried to turn off email notifications, but they keep coming.

OSX 10.5.6 wont see Ipod touch

I have just upgraded to OS X 10 5.6 - suddenly neither of my computers (a G4 tower & a Macbook pro) will recognise the Ipod touch at all, Itunes dosent start up & there is no icon on the desktop. The cable is (i have tried two on both machines, it recharges the Ipod) working.....any ideas

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you upgraded from Tiger or from an older version of Leopard? I've seen many reports of people upgrading to Leopard from older OS X versions having to re-install iTunes after the upgrade to get it working again.

Erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx? it won't recognize any old system disc

erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx? it won't recognize old system discs

Did you try:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you don't have the original discs that came with the computer, then you can install the retail version of Snow Leopard:
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

Reinstalled OSX where are my old saved emails?

Hello,
I've successfully reinstalled OSX. I imported my old mailboxes but they do not contain my saved emails in them. Where may I find them? Perhaps I impoted the boxes incorrectly?
Thanks!
yojames

Not sure what you mean. The imported mailboxes appear as subfolders of Inbox? They should appear within an Import folder below Inbox...
Did you choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format?
Can you still see the (empty) imported mailboxes in Mail after quitting Mail and opening it again? Can you create custom “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail?

How to reinstall OSX on a computer that wont even boot up?

Hey everyone
I have about a year old MBP that has suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to boot up I get the white Apple screen with an endless spinning icon. It looks like its booting up fine, but it never leaves this screen. If I try to hold C with the install disc in, or hold T to enter firewire mode, the spinning just continues.
I gather that I need to reinstall OSX, but is there anyway to do that when I cant even boot up to choose a startup disk? I have a Powerbook (from which I'm posting on) if that helps at all.
Thanks

Try a PRAM reset. Hold down Command-Option-P-R when booting until the tone has sounded thrice.

Cant reinstall osx lion on new hard drive

I recently have been having problems with my 2007 Macbook 2,1 (yeah, I know it's old but it works...or worked anyway) taking forever to boot up. So, I backed up all of my data to an external drive, erased the drive and then attempted to reinstall osx lion (which was the current os on the machine prior to erasing) via the internet recovery option as I no longer have the original start up disc. The progress bar gets all the way to the end and then just takes me back to the main OSX utilities page. Tried reformatting the drive again and same thing. So then I resorted to creating a bootable thumb drive. I booted back into OSX utilities via this drive and tried to reinstall this way only to get an error message that it cant download additional files needed to install osx.
Next up, I used a borrowed mac, redownloaded the OSX installer from the app store and installed it on an external drive. I then booted my machine from the ext. drive into OSX lion, downloaded the installer again and attempted to install it on to my HD only to get an error message that the file may be corrupt or may have been tampered with. At this point, i went to the Apple store. The guy ran some checks but ultimately was also unable to reinstall the os. He even tried going back down to 10.6.8. So he told me this was a sign that the hard drive was bad and that they have no way of actually diagnosing it on a machine that old.
So, I went and bought a new WD 320G internal drive to replace the "bad" one in the machine. I then went through all of the steps above again and still have had no luck getting the os back on the machine. So at this point I am at a total loss. Is the computer just dead or is there anything else I could possibly try?

Did you prep the new drive correctly? You also need to install Snow Leopard on the new drive and update it to 10.6.8.
Drive Partition and Format
1. 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 Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
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. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply 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 Security 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.
In the following you can skip the part for partitioning and formatting if you've done the above already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Aw geez, they sure have messed up OSX.
Do you have a backup of 10.8.2?
Maybe...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

How backup User and reinstall osx only

My MacBook Pro (06 / 2009) running OSX 10.9 Mavericks didnt want to open completly this morning. 6 hrs later i havnt fix it. Reading and trying.
-- How to make a backup now ?
I want to save some création of mine. Last backup was 1 Month old on timemachine on external USB drive.
-- How to reinstall OSX without deleting my User files and maybe my applications Adobe ?
I have Osx 10.9 Mavericks on machine from free Apple update download. But computer came with 10.5.7 when order from Apple. Also bought 10.6 Snow Léopard on CD.
-- What i have done so far
Reboot. Reset. Pram. Safe mode.
Single user #reboot
Single user # /sbin/fsck -FN
Restart from installation CD to disk utility to verify disk
Results : nothing
Disk0s2: i/o error
Invalid sibling link. The volume needs to ne repaired.

I suspect it's a bad idea to boot from your Snow Léopard disk (even with the accent) to try to repair Mavericks.
You could see if your hard drive will mount on another Mac in Target mode: How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode , then you could backup your créations.
I would not backup anything more than your essential documents. If you restore system files, you will probably restore the problem.
If you haven't already: Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
then restart.
if that doesn't work, you could try the recovery partition again and reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.
If you can't boot into your recovery partition, then try to boot into internet recovery: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld , and use Disk Utility to repair your HD. similarly, if that doesn't work, you could try to erase your HD from internet recovery and reinstall Mavericks.
if that won't work, you could try TechTool, which can occasionally fix a problem that Disk Utility can't. Techtool Pro 7
if that doesn't work, then your HD is probably failing and needs to be replaced.

Formatted/Reinstalled OSX Still not Starting Up

So my iMac was not starting up, so I tried all the resetting measures. SMC, PRAM, safe mode, etc. Was able to boot from the CD, got as far as erasing/reinstalling OSX snow leopard and it was almost done with restoring my time machine backup when it went to sleep and died. I restarted, it came up with finder, saw all my stuff, but it was missing random applications like iTunes. So I restarted again. Came up to finder, without my wallpaper and had the spinning wheel. Restarted a third time and it did the grey screen thing.
Disk utility couldn't repair the disk again, so I erased the disk and started from scatch again.
It booted from the CD again, installed snow leopard sucessfully, restarted, and now it just sits on the grey screen forever.
So what to do? Try the 10.4 disk it came with? or 10.5? Or do I just need a new harddrive? Disk Utility said it was verified..

I suggest you do the following:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc. Insert the disc into the
         optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the
         "C" key. Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
         dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions Scheme drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
         OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Before attempting to restore from your Time Machine backup open Energy Saver preferences and set the option to Put the Computer to Sleep to "Never." While still in the Setup Assistant you may optionally restore your Home folder and third-party applications and support files before completing the Setup Assistant. I suggest you do that. Do not attempt to restore anything else.

ITunes 10.6.1.7 wont see iPad 2 or 3gs both 5.1 on Windows 7/64

I just bought an ipad2 and I updated to iTunes 10.6.1.7 before attaching to my pc. Itunes wont see the ipad or now my 3gs that it use to have no issue seeing. My windows vista pc/itunes sees both iphone/ipad fine so it must be this pc or itunes. I also tried different cables and usb ports with no change. I updated the vista pc to the 10.6.1.7 iTunes and it sees both ipad/iphone fine.
Why doesnt my windows 7/64bit pc see anything all of a sudden?
How do I fix this? Do I really have to uninstall/reinstall iTunes? Will I lose all my data and backups?
Thanks

Macbook Pro shuts down constantly, and rarely starts. Should I reinstall OSX?

Hi there,
I have a early 2011 Macbook Pro 17" with OSX Lion 10.7.5 and a bootcamp partition running Windows 7.
About three months ago some coffee was spilled on the keyboard, and afterwards was having some issues where it would shut down randomly. After a visit to my university's computer repair center, who told me there was a problem with the power button, and a visit to the local MacStore, who told me that the internals needed to be replaced for a whopping 1,300 dollars. I let the comupter sit for some time while I tried to figure out what to do. A few weeks ago I opened the machine up and cleaned areas where I could see coffee residue with 95% isopropyl alcohol. After letting dry for the evening, I started the computer up and it worked just fine for about two weeks.
Suddenly, when using the Windows operating system, it began shutting down when going to sleep. Following some advice on this site, I switched over to the Mac operating system and installed updates. On restart after the updates, the computer did not actually restart, and since, has started up to the grey screen with apple logo, makes a 'clink' sound and then shuts off. Rarely it actually starts to the desktop, and then 'clinks', goes black, and shuts off. When safe booting, and using the disk utility, it does the same thing. I have reset the SMC and the RAM.
When I am able to succesfully load the disk utility, it shuts down shortly after I begin the repair disk. I have tried this through the original install disk, and get the same results.
I haven't tried reinstalling, or erasing the hard drive and reinstalling OSX. I am worried about trying this as it seems like I might really screw stuff up if it shuts down in the middle of the reinstall or erasing. Am I correct about this?
Some posts here suggest that I need a firmware update of some sorts, but I do not see how I could do this if I cannot get the machine to start normall. Other solutions that might apply to this problem that I have found also strangely require the computer to actually be on and running.
Although I am willing to accept it, I have a hard time believing this is a hardware issue (e.g. logic board) related to the spill because of how long it ran without any problems.
I have been unable to get any sort of error report as well because of the shut down problem.
If anyone could help with my quesiton about reinstalling, and perhaps offer any other advice that doesn't involve me taking it to a MacStore I would greatly appreciate it. Its finals week and I could really use my laptop. It is a real pain being tied to a desktop.
Battery is fully charged, and does indeed charge.

Update on this: somehow the disk repair utility went through and I did a repair disk. There were no problems found. Computer worked fine for an hour, and then started asking me if I really wanted to shut down, which I did not. After doing this three times it made the characteristic 'clink', and shut off as described in my previous post.

It sounds like your hard drive either has a software problem that Disk Utility cannot fix or that the HD has failed (mechanically).
Your Mac may have booted either to your recovery partition or to internet recovery in an attempt to repair the drive- I can't tell from your post.
I'll assume that it was the recovery partition.
Try to boot into internet recovery (hold down option command R at restart), and see if you can repair your HD with Disk Utility. You should also repair permissions while you're there.
If that doesn't work, try to boot into single user mode (restart, hold down ⌘S until you see a black screen with white text) and repair your hard drive. Here's a reference with directions: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
If that doesn't work you have a few options:
If your mac originally came with installation disks, you can try to boot from the installation disk and then see if you can repair the HD.
There is a small chance that Techtool Pro 7 will be able to repair your HD if Disk Utility can't.
If none of that works then your HD has probably failed and will need to be replaced, which is not too difficult to do yourself if you can use a screwdriver.

Help/Question with Reinstall OSX 10.2.1 on iBook G4

First off...I just want to say that if someone can take the time to assist me I would appreciate it more than you know! Now...on to my issue:
History:
I have a iBook G4 running, I think on either 10.3 or 10.4 (I can't tell you now because it won't start up). I have the discs for 10.2.1 that came with the computer. I purchased my iBook from a roommate of mine a few years back and before selling it to me he loading 10.3 or 10.4, and I don't have those discs.
I was having an issue at start up...It would load to the point where I could see the picture I had on my desktop, and the dock would come up. Then it would stop and none of the icons on my desktop would show and neither would the menu bar at the top of the screen. When I clicked on an application in the dock, it would not load...the computer was trying (you could hear it) but it never would load it.
So, I did some online searching (using my wife's MacBook...yes, I wish we had two) and used the disk utility to verify my disc. It said the "keys were out of order". So, I clicked repair, and it said that it repaired "Book B" (at least I think that's what it said).
So, I restarted my computer, and now it comes to the gray screen with the clear spinning thing as though it is about to load. It sits there a while, and then just shuts off. So, I tried to reset the PRAM and that didn't do anything either.
Problem I now have:
I am now to the point that I am thinking I need to reinstall OSX...as said, I have the 10.2.1 discs that came with it upon purchase, but I know my roommate upgraded me to a newer version. I have lots of documents on here that I don't want to lose (and programs I don't have the discs for) and I plan to choose the "Archive and Install" and "Preserve User and Network Settings" Options.
Questions:
Is this what I should do?
and if so...
Will installing an older version than what I currently have any negative impact on the install or in me keeping my current documents and programs?

DiskWarrior is the only application that "can" fix this problem, but there is no 100% guarantee. You need to get the DW CD & boot from the CD to fix the problem.
Look at these links about DW.

http://www.jimarnold.org/blog/2008/10/keys-out-of-order-on-macbook-diskwarrior-t o-the-rescue/
I assume you don't have a backup of your hard drive, or you could just erase the hard drive & copy the backup files to it. Your next investment should be to buy & use an external hard drive for backup. You can get one for about the price + of DW.
 Cheers, Tom
