Windows7 x64 and photoshop not recognising postscript fonts

The company I work for is looking to Rollout Windows7 x64 with CS5 using Universal Type Client v2.1.3.4 for our font management but have hit a snag.
When using Photoshop (both x32 and x64) and Flash, only opentype and truetype fonts are available (ie postscript fonts don't appear in the application font menus). The vast majority of our fonts are postscript so this is becoming a major issue holding back the rollout of Windows7.
We've tried turning off Hide Fonts but that made no difference.
Has anyone else seen similar or know of a fix so that postscript fonts will appear?
Many thanks in advance

Thanks for the response.
However, there are a number of problems with us dumping our postscript fonts and updating them to OT and TT.
1. We're a print media company that sends a lot of print advertisements to newspapers all over Australia. These newspapers won't accept "jobs" unless they are done using postscript fonts as their 5-10 year old RIPs are still using postscript. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control.
2, The price of re-purchasing the fonts. Many of our postscript fonts were purchased through Adobe who (in Australia) say that we need to purchase the Open Type or TrueType versions of our postscript fonts - if they exist. Given we have 200+ desktops and we're talking about 2500 fonts, combined with Adobe Australia's pricing model for fonts, we're talking about some serious money here (a few hundred thousand easily).
The postscript fonts work fine with InDesign CS5 (on Win7 x64) and with our various printers, nor any errors - it's just they don't appear in Photoshop or Flash. We can't just add them to the Windows Fonts folder as they are then all active which can have a negative impact on desktop performance.
Our Apple Macs running the same version of Creative Suite with the same version of Unversial Type Server with postscript fonts don't suffer the same issue with photoshop or flash.
Is this just a Windows 64 bit issue? Is it an Extensis issue? Is it something do with Adobe products on x64? Or a combination of the 3?

I just installed Itunes on Windows7 x64 and I get the following error...

I just installed Itunes on Windows7 x64 and I get the following error when trying to open it. "Itunes cannot run because it detects a problem with Quicktime. For repair instructions click Help." When I do this all it pretty much tells me to do is reinstall which doesn't really do anything at all. Another method mentioned is to download quicktime as a stand alone installer and isntall that version again to no avail. I have no idea what to do. Thanks for your help. I can provide any information needed upon request. And yes I have uninstlaled completely restarted then reinstalled only to get the error again.

Good lord.
Right. Presumably either this one:
... or this one:
... is at the heart of matters. The second one is the more familiar one. So we'll assume (to begin with) that the first one is a rare complication of the sort of install trouble that can produce the second one.
Rather than using Revo, I'd like to try using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility to clear the installation configuration information for your Apple Software Update. Unfortunately, doing so has become more difficult
ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove". Quit CleanUp.
Now try uninstalling (again without using Revo) iTunes and QuickTime. If those uninstalls seem to go through okay, restart the PC.
Now try the iTunes reinstall again. Does it hang with that "required module" error again? or does it install smoothly this time?

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

My 4th gen classic makes a continuous whirring and clicking noise and is not recognised on iTunes. Any ideas?

That could be a clear sign of a damaged hard disk. Can you try and force the iPod into Disk Mode and then connect it to iTunes so you can attempt a restore or even a low level reformat of the iPod's HD/file system.

I just installed Illustrator, and do not see the font samples in menu box. They show up in InDesign though..

I just installed Illustrator, and do not see the font samples in menu box. Can you tell me how to get them to show?
Thank you.

Sue,
I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

HT1414 new iphone 3, had trouble setting up, took about 5 hours and call to Texas, finally sorted by following morning. Now after 5 weeks No Service suddenly appears and no closing down etc makes any difference. Connect to itunes and SIM not recognised!

what do you do when new iphone 3 will not accept SIM card which it has been doing since I bought it 6 weeks ago but now suddenly No Service and will not recognise SIM. Had this trouble on initial start up, took a 3 hour conversation with Apple USA to get it going. Can't connect to itunes because it won't recognise the SIM. Cannot remember what we did to get it going last time as it took so long and we did so many different things. Any suggestions other than put it in the bin!

First, though the phone is "new" to you, it really is a 5 year old piece of equipment. Ancient by current standards.
Have you obtained a replacement SIM from your carrier?

My bluetooth just keeps searching on my new iPhone 5s and does not recognise my car bluetooth which was working perfectly with my 4s.

10.4.8 does not recognize postscript fonts- help!

I have a new Mac Pro running 10.4.8, and I have copied all the fonts I used on my old G4 running 10.4.3 into the appropriate place on my hard drive. However, the postscript fonts don't seem to be available to my applications, and I can't activate them through Suitcase Fusion either. When I click on a font and go to Get Info, they are not showing as Postscript Type 1 fonts like on my old Mac, but as text files!
I really need the Postscript fonts as I need to send jobs to print, what can I do??
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

In the past, I have experienced difficulties copying fonts from one machine to another (or more often to removable media, to go to print) when Suitcase has been active on the source machine. My experience is that you end up only copying part of older fonts.
Try quitting Suitcase on the source machine and then copy over a small selection of the problematic fonts. Then activate them through Suitcase on your new machine and see if they are now available to your apps.
I hasten to add that I quit using Suitcase sometime ago, so this might not actually be the cause of your problem but its worth a shot. I switched to Font Explorer X ('cause its free and a more than adequate replacement!) some time ago and would never look back.

HT5312 I changed my email address and apple is ok wih it but iCloud still has my old email address and is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my iCloud account email address corrected and also get my new password

Hi
I changed email addresses but iCloud sill has my previous address registered. It also is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my new email address into the iCloud system, and also lodge a new password with them?
I'm using an ipad and all else is ok but not icloud.

Welcome to the Apple community Ross.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Itunes and Updater not recognising Ipod

Hi everyone!
I wanted to share with you my problem. I've been reading for a long and trying everything: 5R's and even re-installing windows, but nothing seems to work.
I have a opperating system Windows Xp SP2 and NOD32 as antivirus. I was using my Ipod correctly and it was working great. The problem is when I tried to plug it to another laptop under windows. It didn't recognise it, and when I try back on mine, is not recognised again. Itunes doesn't show it, Updater gives errors (such as another program is using Ipod),It charges and hopefully the Ipod works correctly.
What can I do? I'm thinking about asking AppleStore to change it becouse it's still under the warranty. Do you think that with a new Ipod I will be able to connect it agin to my pc?
Please try to help me! I don't want to change my Ipod and wait again!

Any halp for that?

All downloads failing to mount and iTunes not recognising iPod!

My iBook G4 (Model No A 1055) needs alot of updates however i can't install anything. It downloads to the Desktop fine but when i go to open the attachment so i can actually install it a message comes up saing "The following disk images failed to mount" and the reason is a "corrupt image". I have tried to do this with Firefox, iTunes and Adobe and they all say the same!
I also now have issues with iTunes (7.2) which is all of a sudden not recognising my iPod shuffle (2nd gen). It doesn't come up in devices or anything when plugged in my iPod shuffle will just flash orange a few times and then nothing. I have tried to connect it to another (and much newer) Mac computer however it doesn't recognise it on there either.
Has technology just got so good my lappy is basically extinct and i need a new one or is there something i / Apple can do to help get me up to date with everything? Any help and feedback would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Louise

if you are running OS 10.3, it's pretty much obsolete
you can try getting OS 10.5 installed, but it can slow down the computer, 10.4 is not much use anymore either.

My itunes is running really slow and will not recognise any of the 2 iphones 1 "3g" and 1 "4" or my ipod touch ?

my itunes is running very very slow the rest of my pc is fine.
i tunes will not recognise either of my iphones "3gs,4, nor my ipod touch4".
i have uninstalled all apple software and re installed itunes .
i have checked my iphone at a retail store and it was found.
i have the latest version of ie "ie9" and itunes "10.2.2.12".
any ideas what to do ?

Hi Grant, Thanks for the response, much appreciated.
I agree that it should not really run slow however I would really like to upgrade to Lion anyway and thought that doing it via the SSD route would be good way to do it as the SSD should help speed things up once I sort out the underlying issue at present. I also wanted to try and load lion but still have Snow Leopard available on the original drive for the time being till I knew that eveything was working well using Lion but I'm not sure if this is possible and how to do to this.
I have just clicked on 'Verify disk' on HD1 in the utility menu and there is a problem there. It is asking for me to start using another disk such as the mac installation disc but I am not sure where I have put this. Seeing as I have upgraded to SL would this now be the new installation disc and if so, do I just put the disc in the machine and restart?
Thanks for your help
