Typekit desktop sync removes rather then adding font
I am encountering a very strange problem.
I had used typekit desktop sync which worked fine. In the middle of creating a document the font suddenly stopped working. As I try to work through this problem, I notice when I try to readd the font (after removing it) it consistently says "5 font files have been removed" even though I just selected them to sync to the desktop.
Instead of adding them when desktop syncing is selected, it removes them (even though they were never present). It is very strange and I could not find a topic relating to this.
Any ideas?
Moved from the Creative Cloud to the File And Font Sync Early Access forum. They will be able to help you here.

After applying, I received an email telling me I have been selected for early access to Typkit desktop syncing. Thanks for that, however when I log in to Typekit there is no Desktop button or option. Please advise.
Thanks,
Tommy HoodYou need to log into Typekit from your Creative Cloud Desktop application. If you haven't downloaded it go to creative.adobe.com. Log in with your Adobe ID. Then go to the Download Center and download the application called Creative Cloud. When launched, it will look like this:
From the Fonts tab, choose Browse Fonts on Typekit.
Good luck! -
TypeKit desktop syncing only for Lion?
Hi,
I've just recieved an invite to use the new TypeKit font syncing for desktop Apps, Great! I follow the link to begin, which prompts me to download the latest Creative Cloud. This just re-installs App manager and that's it!!!
So I'm assuming I can't get the latest Creative Cloud App because it's not available to anything below Mac OS X 7
As much as i'd like the cool toolbar icon and BeHance integration, I'm happy to live without it for now. So how do I sync the fonts????? Typekit states this "Typekit does not support Windows 2000 or Mac OS 10.3 and earlier"
Any ideas?
Many thanksHi Oli,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Unfortunately, right now, the syncing of the fonts is handled by the Creative Cloud app. So it's required in order to use desktop sync fonts from Typekit.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help here. I can definitely share your request with the team. Let us know if you need anything else: [email protected]

Typekit desktop fonts are synced but the fonts are not working
I'm new to Adobe Creative Cloud services and immediate have noticed that Typekit is hit or miss. I have no trouble syncing the fonts on Typekit.com, they show as synced in my CC control panel. Photoshop CC sometimes even recognize the missing fonts as typekit fonts on a PSD load and ask if I want to update the missing fonts with the Typekit fonts, I confirm I do or in general try to use the synced fonts, and it doesn't work – fonts are missing. I restart Photoshop, I restart my computer, I attempt the same thing over and over again. Sometimes it eventually works, but today its not. This is all very frustrating since access to Typekit was one of the main reasons I decided to go on the Adobe Creative Cloud. Please help!
Hi sws234,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. There are a few things we can check right away to start debugging this:
- First, would you try signing out of the Creative Cloud app and see if this solves the issue?
- Could you try quitting/restarting the Creative Cloud app. Did this solve the issue?
- Could you try Turning File and Font Sync off under: Gear > Preferences > Fonts. Wait a second, then turn it back on. See if the font/s show up and if not, try syncing again. Did this solve it?
- Could you tell me if you're on the Windows/Mac OS X and the version?
- Could you check version of the Creative Cloud app you're using and let me know which version it is? This can be found under: Gear > Preferences > General > Account
If none of those worked, could you drop us a line at: [email protected] and we'll pick it up there? We'll need some account info to continue troubleshooting.

How to use Typekit-Desktop-Fonts in other apps or e.g. Font Explorer X Pro on OS X
How can I use Typekit-Desktop-Fonts in other apps e.g. Pages or Font Explorer X Pro on OS X?
Hello,
Thanks for your interest in Typekit! This help page shows how to select fonts from Typekit for desktop use and sync them to your computer:
http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1145956
Once the fonts have synced to your Creative Cloud account, they will automatically be added to the font menus in all of your desktop applications, including Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.
Typekit fonts are not added to your font management software, however; you'll manage these font selections directly from the "synced fonts" page in your Typekit account.
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions! You may post them here on the forum or email us directly at [email protected] Best,

How can I monitor my monthly data usage for all 3 computers in my house? I have an Airport base station and it seems there should be software to monitor it from that point rather than monitoring the usage for each computer and then adding it up.
The following example was one of dozens that showed up on a simple Google search of.....

Most service providers have an application for their users as well. -
I received this errir msg when I wants to sync my 3gs iPhone. And I already update my iTunes to 64-bit. "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed.Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version itunes".
First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem. -

After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?
I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
1. hold down the option key
2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
3. in Library, find Preferences
4. in Preferences, find com.apple.desktop.plist and drag it to the trash.
5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
5. restart
6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know- -
Good day all, I am having trouble installing te latest version of Itunes on my computer.
When it is installing I get a message that states "the older version of Itunes can not be removed."
Then the installations process is aborted.Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I am working on a site in which I want to use some fonts which are outside the choice of the wellknown webfonts we all use normally.
I am getting myself familiar with @font-face, typekit and Google fonts. Ran some tests on a test server and it worked.
However I want to use some of these free, open source fonts like Yanone Kaffesatz and Museo locally.
So I downloaded these fonts, loaded and activated them in my system trough Linoype Fontexplorer.
Now I try to get them to work in Dreamweaver, which does not work.
What I tried is adding them to the fontlist by using "edit Font List" from the bottom of the font list.
Then defined the font-family with them,like so:
font-family: "Yanone Kaffeesatz Bold";
When I preview the site in a browser the font does not show.
Some do, like League Gothic, but the ones I like to use, Kaffeesatz and Museo, don't.
These fonts do work correctly in other programs though.
I am on a mac and use DW CS4. Site is a straightforward HTML/CSS site which lives on my computer.
Any idea how to solve this?
ThanksType-Kit's portfolio plan costs me about $1 a week for the full run of their fonts. I don't bother to charge clients for using it. (How would I charge? An ongoing $4/5 clients per month? That's just silly.
The system is very easy to use; complete directions are, of course, on their website. Essentially, you set up a 'typekit' file in your account at Typekit for a specific url/domain, and either designate tags (I typically use h1, h2, and h3 tags, but you can also use p tags, etc.). All of those tags on pages that carry the proper 2-line javascript in the head of the page automatically use the typekit font.
You can also add the typekit class (I believe it's a class) to other tags to invoke the typekit font whenever you want to use it in a site, as long as it is registered in your typekit. I think I have five or six typekits set up now, and I'm just brushing the surface of how to use it.
Typekit also makes available 120+ Adobe fonts, which is how I heard about the service.
In my personal opinion, if you are hesitant to use a font from anywhere because you think it might not be there in 6 years, the best way to get around that is with images, though there could be licensing issues.
The biggest issue is licensing. If a font is not licensed for use on the web, there could be trouble. By using an online type service, like Linotype or Typekit, you avoid that difficulty. Linotype (fonts.com) will also be happy to license the download, locally-useful version of the font, as well. I have not actually investigated their fees (lowest plan is free..2,000 fonts; next plan is $10/month...7,000 fonts), though I buy fonts (downloaded...I recall about $16-24 per face) from them frequently. Linotype has been around since 1886, when Ottmar Mergenthaler first cast a line of type in lead. http://www.linotype.com/48/aboutlinotype.html, but as Monotype Imaging has a very strong presence as a purveyor of digital fonts.
Fonts.com has a very good how-to video, essentially similar information and procedure as Typekit uses.
The other issue here is the lifespan of a website. How long from initial design to re-design? Where does 6 years fall in that spectrum?
Regarding @fontface, I don't see any kind of online fonts there...just fonts you can buy and download. So much for being consistent across the web.
Not trying to talk your ear (eye?) off here, just a commentary to take into account.

6260 PCsync problems, syncs first time then "Faile...
6260 PCsync problems, syncs first time then "Failed to open Outlook" "PC Sync could not update the data to the mobile phone." warning appear until reboot.
Got phone, set up latest version of pcsuite ver 6.70.22 via bluetooth.
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows XP
Build 2600
Service Pack 2
Bluetooth stack:
Microsoft Bluetooth stack
Version 5.1.2600.2180
it synced well for the first time, then will not re-sync. comes up with errors/warnings "Failed to open Outlook" & "PC Sync could not update the data to the mobile phone." warning appear until reboot.
I have reinstalled PCsuit (twice)
Removed mmc card
dont really want to re-install outlook.
i dont understand why it works the first time and doesnt until a reboot pc (5 mins each time)
Bluetooth works fine as i can upload or download files without any problems...? HelpTeurastaja, that is not how my sync works with Nokia 6681.
- I get most of my additions to phonebook to the phone, because that is where I add new contact (someone call me and I add that new contact to phone book etc.)
- I "clean up" my contacts like you do, using Outlook, it is more convinient that way, like you say.
- I get 95% most of my calendar stuff to Exchange server(Outlook)and sometimes I add meetings etc. to my phone
Then I syncronise my phone automatically over Bluetoooth everytime I am connected to my PC (this happens 3-4 times/day).
And it works, if I delete something in Outlook, it gets deleted from phone. additions to phone and Outlook get added to "the other end" as well.
I never touch my sync settings and I have "update in both directions" in use.
This is they way it should work and it works as long as you don't change the settings every so often, that confuses the sync and makes it run a "first time sync" and that causes the sync to rewrite the deleted stuff back.
