Why does FM Core keep stopping?

I am also getting the message "FM Core has been stopped. Please start it from the System pref. pane and then relaunch InDesign." My Mac was new a year ago, and this just recently started. (Mac OS 10.6.6) I am using Suitcase Fusion 3, and have restarted the FM core from the System Preferences panel each time I get the message, which is usually several times per week.
Question is: why does it keep stopping, and why was it fine for a year? (software is all the same)

I had this same problem.  It has to do with your font management software.  If you're like me and are using Universal Type Client for font management, go to your system preferences, select "Universal Type Core," System Preferences will prompt you to close, then reopen, and you'll see a check box that says "Start Universal Type Core at Login."  Make sure it's selected, then restart InDesign.  Should work like a charm.  That invisible little font app needs to be running in the background for InDesign to access fonts properly.  When it's not running, InDesign freaks out.  Any little update you, or your IT folks, run to your font software could possibly turn that check box off by default.

    why does my video keeping stopping at all times

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Why does Premier elements keep stopping working?

    Premier elements keeps shutting down with a message saying that it has stopped working and will find asolution to the problem on line but it never connects with anything nor does it provide any answers.

    Garth,
    What has happened is that recently, some camera mfgrs. have broken from long-established "standards," regarding their video output. We see more of this with less-expensive stills cameras, that also shoot video.
    For decades, the standards for SD (Standard Definition) Video has been:
    NTSC:
    720 x 480 Standard 4:3 with a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) of 0.9 (pixels are taller, than wide).
    720 x 480 Widescreen 16:9 with a PAR of 1.2 (pixels are wider, than tall).
    PAL:
    720 x 576 Standard 4:3 with a PAR of 1.06 (pixels are wider, than tall, but not by much).
    720 x 576 Widescreen 16:9 with a PAR of 1.422 (pixels are wider, than tall).
    768 x 576 Square Pixel w/ a PAR of 1.00
    With Stills, which usually use Square Pixels, the size of 640 x 480 works fine, but with Video, the cameras used non-square pixles, in the appropriate PAR. Camera mfgrs. got lazy, and just decided on their own, that they would not bother creating Video with rectangular pixels, like the video standards, and just use the 640 x 480 w/ PAR of 1.0.
    Now, PrE 10 was coded, before this became so popular. It is also built around video standards, with output, such as DVD-Video the main focus.
    If enough camera mfgrs. have begun producing cameras, that create video at the 640 x 480 w/ PAR = 1.0, then I feel that Adobe will include that Project Preset, and maybe as soon as PrE 11, due out in a few months.
    PrPro handles such things differently, in that it offers a Custom Project/Sequence Preset, which allows the user to match the Project/Sequence to odd footage in most attributes. However, PrE does not offer such, and only addresses more standard formats. I have filed Feature Requests for that Custom Preset for about 5 years now, but so far, no-go. As PrPro costs about 6x what PrE does, there WILL be some differences between the two programs, and so far, this is one of them.
    We will just have to wait and see what is introduced in the future - though by then, camera mfgrs. might go off on another tangent, and decide to use some other format and PAR for their cameras. Who knows?
    Some users have had success at hacking PrE's Presets, to accommodate other formats (several such hacked Presets are listed in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, with links to that work), but I have not seen one for 640 x 480 PAR = 1.0.
    If one does mind either a bit of Scaling, and cropping of the Video Frame, or a little bit of distortion, they can use that footage in a Standard Preset, and just adjust it a little.
    Good luck, and I hope that this explains why Adobe has not caught up to this deviation from the standards.

  • Why do IPhone videos keep stopping?

    Why does iPhone video keep stopping?

    "iPhone video" - do you mean videos you made on the phone, videos you stream to the phone (i.e. Youtube, web video), or purchased videos?

    Hi fiercestorm,
    It is possible that the video file of this movie has become corrupted. If it was purchased from iTune, and is still available in the iTunes Store for your region, you can delete it and download it again from the store. See this article -

    Have you tried the basics from the manual to stop the crashing?

  • Why does Windows 7 keep closing down Adobe reader?

    Why does Windows 7 keep closing down Adobe reader?

    Three possibilities
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Why does my ipod keep on deleting my photos

    why does my ipod keep on deleting my phots after i download it to the computer?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
