Why on two computers, ArialNarrowBold is missing (adminstrator can open; but not non-administrators)

I have two odd and frustrating problems involving only two DELL desktops that for the most part only Freelancers use.
Both computers have CS2.  When an ai.file tries to open up, i get the following msg: "FONT PROBLEMS, ArialNarrowBold: Default Font Substituted for Missing Font." 
Recently, when i had an employee sit at one of these computers, i had him try to open up an ai.file using his log in, and he got the message too; as does any freelancer using freelancer login ID at these two computers...no other computer in our studio has this issue.
Our outsourced IT company has done as much as they can e.g. make sure fonts are not restricted, etc...but everything is ok
The second odd problem is that when an Administrator logs on with Adm rights, the msg does not appear.
I have unistalled CS2; reinstalled, and the same msg appears.
Adobe Tech support said they do not support CS2 and told me to try the forum..so i am...i hope somone has an answer or insight to why this is happening.
thank you - hope this made sense to someone out there!

It sounds like the permissions and ownership for users other than administrator is set to read only. It could simply be the folder that arial is in a higher directory or perhaps the font itself you can go to the top directory and mark it as read write for each account and have that apply to all directories below.
Directory is a folder or a volume.
On a Mac this is fairly easy if you have administrative privileges.
On the Windows side you will have to get that info from one of the Windows person but it is more manual and a bit more difficult.

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

    Your subscription allows for you to install on two machines.  One condition is that only one of the installations can be in use at any given time.

    If you don't have access to the computers to manually deauthorize them (they were sold, stolen, etc), then you have to log into your account, deauthorize all computers, and then re-authorize the machine(s) that you want to have access. This page explains how.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • HT203421 Mountain Lion download has messed up my calendar. One calendar is missing on my MAc but not on my ipad or iPhone

    Mountain Lion download has messed up my calendar. One calendar is missing on my Mac but not on my ipad or iPhone

    OKAY FOLKS, I found the answer.  I figured the only explination could be with my iCloud Account.  I tried EVERYTHING, read every discussion on this topic.  It WASN'T b/c I had an old Mobile Me account.  It WASN'T b/c I didn't have the sttings right.  I rebooted, erased data, EVERYTHING.  The only solution was to create a NEW iCloud account - I chose a new address through Apple (me.com).  Even though I already have a me.com email address and a different Apple ID I figured starting fresh was the only way.  Sadly, I lost all of my calendar data (when I tried to import my old calendar data from a backup it was associated with the old iCloud account and could not be edited) but my contacts were saved.  I just re-entered my calendar information... figured this would be less time consuming than trying to reboot and research the issue 10 more hours!
    Here are the steps I used:
    1- iCloud was OFF on my iPhone to start
    2- Export your iCal and iContacts data from your Mac to a backup (you WILL lose your data)
    3- On iPhone went to Settings, iCloud and went through the proper steps to set up a new iCloud account with a NEW email address (me.com)
    4- On iMac under System Preferences I deleted my OLD iCloud account (it will prompt you stating you will lose your data or you can merge/save).  The only way I could get it to work was to accept the warning it was going to delete everything
    5- Set up a NEW iCloud account on my Mac with the NEW me.com account I set up on my iPhone.  Somehow my Contacts were kept in tact, uploaded to iCloud and to my iPhone.  Had issues with my iCal data, but I entered all the information manually.
    Everything is syncing great!  Haven't set this up yet on my iPad but will do that next.  I'm hopeful!!

  • Artist/album names missing when adding folder (but not all of them)

    Yesterday I found iTunes couldn't locate the folder where I store MP3 downloads - ie. I got the dreaded '!' alongside most tracks. When I used the Add Folder command I ended up getting a duplicate of virtually every track.
    However most of the duplicate tracks were only shown with the track number on the original album plus about 12-15 characters from the title (ie. character string used as a label for the MP3 file). There was no detail of the artist or album.
    Given the large number of duplicates involved I decided to clear out the library and have just used Add Folder. Same outcome - 1/3rd of the tracks described in full; the other 2/3rds just show track number and some of the title.
    Suggestions on (a) where I'm going wrong; and (b) whether I can use contents in the Previous iTunes library folder to recreate the library would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

    As I've already said this question has been answered maybe no one is monitoring this topic but ... I've just worked out the reason the detail is missing is because the tracks which have limited detail are in WAV format.
    This is where I am completely lost because they have all been downloaded from the iTunes store or from Amazon as MP3 files, and I'm not aware either of the download functions comes with an add-on called "automatically convert to WAV".
    The irony is that this is quite convenient but if anyone can provide an explanation of how it is occurring then I would be interested to hear because I can't figure it out. May still trust my sanity, but not my memory!

  • TS2621 why may I send email when wi-fi is enabled, but not when it is disabled?

    iphone 4s with verizon will send email via wi-fi but not 3G. Are there any ideas why?

    Depends on the email account.  If it is from your Internet provider they may only allow use of their SMTP server for sending emails when on their network.  To send emails when not on their network (i.e. when using Cellular data) it would require using a different SMTP server.

  • Why wont my macbook pro send emails. I can receive but not send

    Go to your email provider's setup page and check what the settings for the SMTP server are supposed to be. Most good providers will even have instructions on how to set up Mac Mail.

  • LR/4 - Two computers, one catalog: missing photos

    I generally run Lightroom 4 off of my desktop computer, however, I've decided to download my second copy to my laptop.
    Unfortunately, when I try to use my catalog (that I run from my portable hard drive), Lightroom tells me that 7,000 of my 13,000 photos are missing.
    I've followed all of the general steps to find the missing photos, but nothing has worked.
    Thanks~

  • Why is "internet" flagged as miss-spelling in Indesign but not auto-corrected?

    when the entire support system for Indesign exists on the internet, why is this word not recognised by the Indesign inbuilt dictionary?
    Further, I have auto-correct set to ON!  Yet it's not correcting this to whatever it assumes is the correct spelling.  Given that the listed suggestions when middle tapping are "Internet" or "INTERNET" why is it not auto-correcting to one of these?  It's not like it could be some other word I'm trying to type.

    I'm guilty of being a little "new school" in this regards. I type a lot, mostly explaining stuff and demonstrating stuff, and illustrating points and ideas, thoughts and concepts, structures and paradigms of approaches and **** like that.  Really utter nonsense, more than anything... and I utterly rely on spell check auto-correct.  I actually use it much more like an Auto-Complete than autocorrect.  Such is my reliance on it.
    There's a certain joy to structuring words to a space, that's part of a design vanity and aesthetic that means little to few.  But those times that I've used that approach in Indesign I'm stuck wondering how my spelling is doing.  Because my spelling, mostly, sucks.
    It would be REALLY nice, to have an option, apart from these other options, to use the OS (in this case Mac OS X) spell check throughout Indesign, in addition to the and concurrent with the custom library of personal spell corrections.  In this manner it could be like Microsoft word, in the sense that the auto-correct of Indesign can be used like a "macro" and the OS auto-correct (which I've trained heavily to my words and way of expressing myself) can be running "as normal".
    I find it a little strange that a layout program doesn't have this ability to use the host OS's spell check, because I can't be the only designer that's both using the layout features of Indesign and generating the content that goes into that layout.  And it's completely undesirable to be swapping between a word processor, or even the inbuilt editor of Indesign, when I would much rather see my words go where they're going to be, live, and auto-corrected in whatever manner I choose.
    But, there you go.  My two cents on something it appears nobody else cares about, thinks about or works like. 
    As to programming, yes, I fully understand, the words and phrases and keywords from that... you'd need a while to train word processor style environment to deal with that.  I have often wondered why code editors don't learn from the auto-completes of word processors, and vice-versa. 
    I really like the way Xcode does Objective-C suggestive completion, for example.  That's unbelievably fantastic, particularly for someone like me that knows very little programming and even less of Foundation and CocoaTouch etc.  I don't have to keep going back to the docs, just need to start with the first few letters of the method/class and go from there... it's basically helping me write the line from there. 
    Imagine a word processor like that...

    Do the songs play OK in iTunes?
    Try:
    - 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 all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - 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.

  • Why does iPhoto 8.1.2 work on one iMac but not another when both are the same spec both running Mavericks 10.9.1?

    I have a studio of 7 iMacs all running Mavericks 10.9.1, six of the machines are able to open iPhoto 8.2.1 but for some reason after updating the seventh, iPhoto vanished completely from that machine. I reinstalled it from a copy I had saved on a HDD but it now says it's unsupported with this version of OSX. I don't want to pay the £10 + for a piece of software that is only being used to import photos from the occasional iPhone so wont be installing the new version, especially as I know 8.2.1 does work on Mavericks.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Reinstall v8 from the install disk as, at a guess, the version of the HDD is missing components.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Helvetica regular font missing in Photoshop CS3, but not in CS5 on the same computer

    I have both Photoshop CS3 and CS5 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system.  Photoshop CS5 has two Helvetica fonts: one TrueType and one Type 1.  The TT version only offers italic and bold italic styles.  The T1 font offers the full suite of bold, italic, bold italic (or oblique), and medium (or regular).  This seems odd, but it's sufficient.  Photoshop CS3, on the same computer, only offers me the Helvetica TT font, with just the two styles mentioned above.  Why can't CS3 see the T1 Helvetica?  Why does the TT Helvetica only show me two styles?  In case it's relevant, I believe the Type 1 version is the only one I deliberately installed, and I recently upgraded to a 2010 version of the font made available by Adobe (to resolve another issue with Microsoft Word 2010).
    Thanks in advance!

    There is by default no Helvetica on PCs. Wherever those fonts come from, is some place else. Either another program installed them or you bought the font fron Linotype. The latetr is doubtful, of course, in light of what you stated. Aside from that you may wish to check your Adobe font directory (C:\Programm Files\Common Fiels\Adobe\Fonts) vs. your system font directory. For CS3 this would be relevant. Typefaces not showing up usualyl means that multiple fonts occupy the same name or the font system can't figure out things for otehr reasons...
