How can I get Japanese characters to show up for my music in iTunes?

I am not exactly sure what generation my iPod is, but it says copyright 2004 on the back. It is 20 GB. It has no problems displaying Japanese characters if a particular song of mine is Japanese. I have my iPod set up to manually manage music. I like to carry my iPod between home and work. At both home and work, I use PCs with Windows XP Pro installed. I also use the latest version of iTunes (ver. 7.1.1.5).
However, I have run into a weird problem. On my home computer, my iTunes displays Japanese characters perfectly fine, but on my work computer, whenever there is a Japanese character, iTunes does not recognize it and puts an ugly "square" character in its place. How do I get my iTunes to display these Japanese characters properly?
Thanks.

Well I just answered my own question. I needed to install the files for East Asian languages via the WinXP Control Panel. So if anyone else runs into this problem, there ya go!

    how can i add a new card to buy songs from itunes

    Hi...
    If you are referring to an iTunes gift card, follow the instructions here >  iTunes Store: How to redeem a code
    If you are referring to editing your payment method, you can do this on your iPod touch.
    Tap Settings > Store > Use Existing Apple ID and sign in.
    That should take you the Account Setttings window where you can change your payment type.

  • How can I get my POP account showing in the inbox it's supposed to show in?

    Hi-Until a couple of weeks ago all mail received from my IMAP and POP accounts would show up in the correct mailboxes in my Mail inbox list. (Only problem then was that sent mail would never show up in the sent mail folder--always stayed in the inbox.)
    Now a new problem has happened----unless I go directly to my charter cable account (P0P account) to retrieve any mail sent to that particular address, the mail goes unnoticed by Mail on my MAC and nothing shows up in the inbox. But--- If I do a test to myself , sending an email to the POP address from my IMAP account from my MAcMAil, my IMAP account will show the email in the inbox of the IMAP account I sent it from as if I'd mailed it to that account. How can I get my POP account showing in the Inbox? And, any suggestions for a fix to getting the "sent" mail to show in the "sent" folder would also be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Control click in the tool bar area and customize.

    How can I get the picture to show in Photoshop CS3?  The thumbnail image appears in the right side panel but the full image isn't showing at all.

    What specific information would you need?  The program was working just fine early yesterday morning and than when I came back in the afternoon to edit  some more pictures that is when I wasn't able to see the full image anymore.  It is providing me with all of the editing options as if the picture is there but it is just a blank screen with the thumbnail pic showing in the right panel. 

  • How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud

    How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?

    You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
    So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
    The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually.

  • How can I get my iphone5s to show up in my mac finder

    How can I get my iphone to show up in my finder.

    you know this is mac Pro forum, right? Okay, assuming you have synched up your iphone 5s with itunes, it will show up there under devices.  If you double click on your hard drive, and look  at the window that has opened up there, you will see past "Favorites", past 'Devices" there you will see "Shared" and there your iphone should show up." it will not appear on your desktop as a removeable storage device, at least that's been my experience

  • How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTube, again?

    How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTubes, email, AOL, and others, again.

    OK. What happens when you try?
    Have you updated your Flash to the latest video? Worth trying again, just in case you haven't.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Click Install Now, download, and run the installer from your Downloads folder. Make sure you install it all the way (it'll ask you to quit Safari). Then re-launch Safari and try the video sites again. If that doesn't work, download and run Firefox, and try there - let us know if one browser works and one doesn't.

  • How can i get tool tips to show on slideshow thumbnails?

    How can i get tool tips to show on slideshow thumbnails? I used the widget "blank" composition for a slideshow then i placed the tooltips widget composition over them and made them transparent, but that prevents a user from clicking on the thumbnails... Any ideas?

    I also want to note, i tried putting in tool tips as well as alt. text but only the first thumbnail is included in the HTML...I went through the code and it all my text is missing. I have to manually edit the html in edge reflow or dreamweaver. Muse should fix this - and i know "this is in the wrong section" and not in bugs and new ideas but it relates to my first post...

    In that case, try my second suggestion, above (delete or rename the extensions.xxx files in the [[Profiles|Firefox profile folder]] for example: rename extensions.sqlite to extensions.sqliteOLD, etc.)

  • When I click on GBookmarks the menu doesn't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again?

    When I click on GBookmarks on the menu bar, my bookmarks don't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again? What shows up now when I click on the GBookmarks are 4 choices: Add bookmarks, manage bookmarks, options, and refresh. How can I get my menu of booksmarks to drop down again? I can go to manage bookmarks and then find my bookmarks, but it's a 3 step process now instead of one. What happened here?

    The reviews for the GBookmarks extension agree that there is some problem recently.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/gbookmarks-google-bookmarks-fo/
    The support page lists an email address for support: http://www.suchisoft.com/ext/gbookmarks.php
    I ran a web search for other recent discussion and didn't come up with any answers. Hopefully the extension's author has time to look into it.
