Re: Adobe CS4 Crashes on Launch

[Roger Kortas]

Hi Guys

I see this problem a lot at the office and normally I clear out the font caches 
then delete all photoshop prefs remove all fonts and then start Photoshop with 
just the system fonts.  If that is OK I would then install the fonts as needed.

I have noticed that some of our fonts date back to 1989 and Adobe and Apple 
recommend that we update to newer versions, we would like to but some are only 
available as opentype and at the moment our prepress system can't handle them!!

So I just make sure I have deleted anything to do with fonts and that should 
include the adobe font file that is in many places, this is like a little 
database of what fonts are available to the creative suite.

Maybe CS5 will handle fonts better, but I think a better option would be to 
move to opentype :)

Re: Adobe CS4 Crashes on Launch

Hi Daniel,

Also, ask them to check for any font that has any numbers added to it. For 
example: " zebra_01_45_58.ttf "
Sometimes just removing the numbers and naming it " zebra.ttf " they can keep 
the font.

Use Font Book to Validate fonts: File > Validate Font: For already-installed 
fonts; select them all in the Font list.

Also ask them to check their Adobe Fonts Folder.
Inside the Adobe Fonts folder (/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts), is 
another, ../FontsReqrd; this folder has two subfolders, ../Base and ../CMaps. 
The first holds the fonts Adobe applications need for their windows and 
palettes; the second holds files that track special character-ID mapping
that some Adobe fonts use. 
Without both these folders, Creative Suite applications can screech to a 
standstill.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: UPS advice requested

[Rob Findlay]

If you want the Mac to shut down gracefully ensure that the UPS has a USB 
connector. When this is plugged in to the Mac your Energy Saver Control Panel 
will detect the UPS and display extra settings relating to shutting down the 
Mac if the UPS loses power from the mains. It doesn't require any 3'd party 
software or extensions to control this.
I believe most of the Belkin ones have this.

Re: Adobe CS4 Crashes on Launch

Hi Ronni and Alastair

I think we did check that, but I will get them to check again, just incase.
Thanks for that.

Thanks John, but the system has to stay on 10.4.11. Another program they use
only works in 10.4.11 so can't take it any higher then that.
But yes, that put that forward as an option as well.

Will try those and see what happens and report back.

Thanks.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Re: Adobe CS4 Crashes on Launch

[mince and pud]

Hi Daniel

I echo Ronni's font suggestion - I was tearing my hair over Flash  
doing the same thing and did lots of dud font chasing. And don't give  
up after one font programme says they are all fine - the several I  
tried all found different things wrong and though by the end I was  
trying too many things at once to be sure, I think it was humble  
fontbook that found the culprit. Cleaning font caches didn't help, I  
just binned all the fonts that were even slightly suspect (all were  
obscure ones I never used)


lots of luck
alastair

Adobe CS4 Crashes on Launch

The machine is an iMac Core2Duo 2.16 with 2GB RAM running 10.4.11.
I've tried running it in another User account, and it does the same thing.
Have repaired permissions both from the drive itself and booting off a CD
and repairing it that way.
Have run programs like Macaroni and OnyX and repaired and reset things there
as well. (Also ran Rember and checked RAM as well, which all passes).

Have un-installed and reinstalled Adobe Photoshop CS4 and installed the
11.0.1 update.
Have also removed Preferences files and Caches and support files for it
(CS4) as well.

I googled to see if I could find some answers, but couldn't really turn
anything up. (Or the things I turned up, I'd already tried).

I've also done an Archive and Install of 10.4.11 (And all updates) to try
that as well, but again no joy.
I did find out later on (after doing all the above), that they also had
problems with Photoshop CS3 after they ran an update on it, it then started
crashing on open as well, so they "removed it all". (I found more of it, so
removed anything to do with CS3 as well.) then again un-installed Photoshop
CS4 and re-installed it.

(there were some other things I tried as well, but the 'ol brain doesn't
remember them at the moment. That could be the total of 12 hours sleep I've
had all week,..lol).


Short of doing a full erase and install of everything (All 300GB of
everything), I just thought I'd try and see if anyone had some ideas. ;o)


Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Hi Mike

Have a look at the Belkin range, as they actually do some quite good UPS
unit's and mixed Surgeboard/UPS.
You can view them here:-



Just to give you an idea, the 1200VA one retails for $499 and the 800VA one
retails for $399, but I can do these cheaper then that.
They have some good warranties and coverage with them as well.

The  Surge Protection with Battery Backup 600VA one retails for $249.99 but
again, I can do it a bit cheaper then that as well.

Worth a look at anyway.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Bento/Staff/Network

[Stuart Breden]

With Bento 3 you can now share libraries across a network.

However if the staff member who created the library leaves and you  
delete his/her logon you leave the libraries.  What this staff member  
can do is Export the libraries in Numbers and some one else can then  
import them.


If that person leaves the same issues.

Can you therefore save shared Bento libraries on a network and they  
remain on the network irrespective of who comes or goes?

Hi Mike,

I swear by the Belkin SurgeMasters to protect all my equipment. Computers, 
Airport Extremes, Time Capsule, Printer, Phone, TV, Coaxial protection, Sound 
Equipment etc. They have a Life Time Warranty.
The Gold Series comes with an Unlimited Lifetime Connected Equipment and Data 
Recovery Warranty.

I had one Belkin SurgeMaster "Die" to save approx. $20,000 worth of equipment, 
when I had a Lightning Bolt hit. 
And Belkin replaced the SurgeMaster, no questions asked, they were just so 
pleased the SurgeMaster did its job.
The new SurgeMaster was delivered in almost the next day.



Contact Daniel Kerr MacWizardry as he usually has some on stock or if not can 
supply them at a reasonable price.
