Why does Indesign suddenly can't find my installed typefaces?

Hello,
I updated my creative cloud yesterday and when I launched Indesign it couldn't find my installed fonts (I am using Font Explorer).
Also it said it couldn't find matching fonts on "Typekit". How can I go back to using my installed fonts form Front Explorer? I don't want to buy an other type organizing programm... :-(

I wrote to Linotype, this is the answer I got, it works!
please try the following:
delete your application font caches as well as your system font caches (FontExplorer X Pro menu/Tools), then deactivate the system font protection, then activate it once again, then use the options to optimize the database and to update the spotlight database. Please restart your Mac and check whether or not this has solved the problem.
I was able to use my 'Activated permanently' set again, everything works, now.

Indesign suddenly can't find previously-working fonts

I've been using Indesign CS3 (5.0) and Suitcase Fusion (12.1.7) happily for about a year and a half with little to no issues. Now suddenly I'm having some issues with Indesign documents I've worked on fine in the past couple months. Specifically, I've been using the GillSans family in a series of ads and everything was fine until about a week ago. Now suddenly when I open any of the ads, I'm told that GillSans and GillSans Light can't be found and Indesign shows all the text with that lovely "missing pink" shade all the other subsets of GillSans like Bold, Condensed, etc. still work fine.
I know for a fact the GillSans family is activated in Fusion, including the two Indesign says are missing. I've also tried removing and replacing my GillSans files with another coworker's and re-installing them in Fusion, and Indesign still says they're missing.
Additionally, I've run FontDoctor on the GillSans folder and it doesn't find any issues. I've also tried moving the GillSans fonts over to my main /Library/Fonts folder and again, Indesign can't seem to "find" them.
So as far as I can tell, everything should be working fine and, yet, it's not. Any ideas on why a couple subsets of my GillSans font would suddenly not be recognized? If they were corrupt I would think either Fusion or FontDoctor would pick up the problem; I'd also think replacing them with someone else's entirely different GillSans files should fix any corruption, so I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Thanks,

Interestingly enough, there doesn't seem to be a single dfont for GillSans anywhere on my system.
Additionally, I just noticed that Indesign is asking for GillSans (TT), but it looks like all the GillSans we have on the computers here are marked as Post Script odd, considering the fonts used in the Indesign document were at one point working correctly.
(UPDATE) After looking a bit into .dfonts and seeing that my system for some reaosn *didn't* have one, I copied over the GillSans.dfont from another Mac to my /library/fonts folder and that seems to have solved part of the problem: GillSans (TT) appears to be working fine now, but GillSans Light (TT) isn't. That's something, at least. ;)

Why does InDesign CS6 forget my preferences when I re-start?

Why does InDesign CS6 forget my preferences when I re-start? Not every time, but often. It's very frustrating to have to re-enter all my prefs. Every once in a while I start up InDesign CS6 and the new document dialog shows page sizes in po (I always use inches) and the prefs all seem to revert to default.

Do you have a Windows PC and when shutting down, is Indesign still open? If so, this can result in a damaged preferences when still writing while Indesign is being terminated by the system.

Why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?

why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?
and can i specify a default save-as location?

The default save location is the one used to open the document.
The default save_to location is the last used one.
Both are stored in memory and written in the application's preferences file when we close it.
It's quite easy to change the defaults in the preferences file but we must do that before opening the app and if we use an other location once the app is open, we will lost the defined default location.
From my point of view, the best scheme is to use an Applescript to save.

Please tell us which line of code you posted shows 'Car (double)'.
The only constructor that I see is this one:
Car(double start, double end, double gall)

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. Entry point errors are system errors with missing libraries (DLL/ Dylib) or "bad" drivers down to incompatible processors.

Could be systems logs or some other system file growing.
Use OmniDiskSweeper or DaisyDisk to map what's being used.

Why does facebook say adobe flash is not installed

why does facebook say adobe flash is not installed when it is - windows 7 IE11????

Unless you're on a company computer and locked down to prevent using anythng else, I'd recommend you drop Microsoft's pathetic excuse for a browser and download Firefox.
Then install the Flash Player Plug-in (For other browsers), and free yourself from the chains of the guys in Redmond, WA who can only seem to get things right 50% of the time.

How can i find the installed forms version in 6i...?

Dear all,
How can i find the installed forms version in 6i, the situation is we have given a solution which will work in only forms6i latest version, before implementing the same we need to check whether the forms latest version has been installed or not
Is there any way to find out without opening the forms builder..?
Even if we un install the forms from a machine, the forms60_path variable will remain in regedit, so we cannot go based on that and aslo i dont know whether regedit will have the version details and all.
It would be greatly appreciated if any one can give a solution.
Thanks in Advance.
Thangaraj.

you query the registry, the registry has the version number saved, but I cannot remember exactly where and I don't have 6i Installed on my machine.
You just open the Forms Builder and click on Help/About.
But Jan's method is the best.

Where can I find the install code from when I purchased Mountain Lion?

Going to get a new hard drive, my local store said if I could provide the install code for Mountain Lion that they would only charge me $20 to install the OS on the HD. How can I find the install code when I purchased it. I bought it Nov. 2012.

That's only applicable if you got Mountain Lion through the now-discontinued free upgrade program and haven't redeemed the code for it.
If you bought it from the Mac App Store or have redeemed a download code for it, log into it with the Apple ID and password associated with that copy of it, click on the Purchases tab, and redownload it from there.
If you got it with a new Mac, start it up with the Command and R keys held down and reload it from the recovery partition.
