Non- Latin characters not available following iCloud problem

Following help from HKQ recovering my Reminders (it turned out there was a problem with iCloud), my non-Latin characters (and the little globe icon for them have just vanished !) This must have happened during the reset or switching on iCloud. I need this really urgently to send emails to people. Please help,
thank you !

it's ok I found and added foreign keyboard. But the numbers give $ instead of £ even though it says it's on UK English,

Non latin characters in Safari search

In Safari 6 the search and URL fields are combined. That's fine, except...
We can no longer search using non-Latin characters, because the field accepts only Latin characters. I was trying to search for a Japanese term, and when I switch to Hiragana input and move to the search field, the input switches back to English.
What's the workaround??

The problem has gone away. I suspect it was a problem with corrupted prefs. I trashed the Safari prefs and rebooted to clear another problem and no longer have the problem with search using Japanese characters.
FWIW, the problem I had when I trashed the prefs was with trying to mail a Safari page. I ran in to this originally a week or two ago and called Apple who told me to delete the Safari prefs and reboot. (Actually they gave an alternate procedure to try first, but I didn't bother.) That appears to be a recurrent problem and since there was no hesitation on the solution when I called I would guess that it will be fixed in an early patch. I had already tried trashing the mail prefs since that's where the problem actually appeared (an extra copy of Mail would open, and then hang) but it was in fact the Safari prefs that was causing the problem. I've had to do the delete-and-reboot routine every few days. Not sure why the reboot is required, but it obviously is since just quitting Safari or even logging out doesn't fix it.

Cannot create file with Non-latin characters- I/O

I'm trying to create a file w/ Greek (or any other non-latin) characters ... for use in a RegEx demo.
I can't seem to create the characters. I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong w/ IO.
The code follows. Any insight would be appreciated. - Thanks
import java.util.regex.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GreekChars{
     public static void main(String [ ] args ) throws Exception{
          int c;
          createInputFile();
//          String input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("GreekChars.txt")).readLine();
//          System.out.println(input);
          FileReader fr = new FileReader("GreekChars.txt");
          while( (c = fr.read()) != -1)
               System.out.println( (char)c );
     public static void createInputFile() throws Exception {
          PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("GreekChars.txt"));
          ps.println("\u03A9\u0398\u03A0\u03A3"); // omega,theta,pi,sigma
          System.out.println("\u03A9\u0398\u03A0\u03A3"); // omega,theta,pi,sigma
          ps.flush();
          ps.close();
          FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("GreekChars.txt");
          fw.write("\u03A9\u0398\u03A0\u03A3",0,4);
          fw.flush();
          fw.close();
// using a printstream to create file ... and BufferedReader to read
C:> java GreekChars
// using a Filewriter to create files .. and FileReader to read
C:> java GreekChars
*/

Construct your file writer using a unicode format. If
you don't then the file is written using the platform
"default" format -probably ascii.
example:
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("GreekChars.txt",
"UTF-8");I don't know what version of FileWriter you are using, but not that I know of take two string parameters. You should try checking the API before trying to help someone, instead of just making things up.
To the OP:
The proper way to produce a file in UTF-8 format would be this:
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("filename"), "UTF-8");Then to read the file, you would use:
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("filename"), "UTF-8");

We cannot type Polish (non-latin) characters in WebDynpro applications

We cannot type Polish (non-latin) characters in WebDynpro application (in runtime) because 'Browser Help Shortcuts' are fired.
To type a polish character in polish keyboard you need to press AltGr + letter (ie. AltGr + a/c/e/s/o/l/z/x/n). To type an uppercase polish character you need to press AltGr + Shift + letter. This comination is in fact the same as pressing Alt + Ctrl + Shift + letter (because AltGr produces Alt + Ctrl) and it fires some of 'Browser Help Shortcuts'. For example AltGr + Shift + O should produce a letter O with a dash on it's top but instead it fires 'Show nesting of HTML containers'.
We tried to turn off sap-wd-lightspeed, but then other key combinations are reserved for u2018Browser Help Shortcutsu2019.
We need to be able to use AltGr + Shift + a/c/e/s/o/l/z/x/n in runtime.

I hope there is a somewhere a hidden parameter that solves our problem Maybe we're in some kind of debug mode?
Thanks for your help!!

The funny thing is that bold font [when message unread in message list] shows OK, ie in greek, but when i click on unread message, it is assumed to have been read, so it changes over to medium [non bold] and the encoding changes as well into the one that is not greek and thus unreadable. In ~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc the fonts are:
widget_font=
message_font=-microsoft-sylfaenarm-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-p-*-iso8859-7
normal_font=-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7
bold_font=-monotype-arial-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7
small_font=-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7
In /etc/gtk, for gtk1.2 apps the file refering to greek encoding [el] seems to be fine [exactly the same as in slackware 9.1].

Non-Latin Characters lead to finder distress.

One of the nicest features of Macintosh from the time I first played on an SE30 is the capacity to quickly type non-Latin characters. While to many this might not seem like a big deal, for me being able to write Tetris™ without a second thought is a great convenience.
So I was very surprised when I began typing µ in the Finder under Snow Leopard and didn't end up on a file that started with µ but rather on m. As if that wasn't irritating enough µ is not treated as m so the file becomes completely unreachable by alphabetic selection. This is something I use almost constantly in Finder so having a file unreachable is even worse than merely having the character interpreted incorrectly.
Just to be certain that this wasn't merely a flaw with that one character I examined other common characters.
ƒ, é, π, ∑ all suffer from the same problem, misinterpreted when typed and interpreted correctly during the comparison.
So the question is, “Is this an error in how I set up my machine, an error in the string comparison system, or an error in the Finder program?”

Yes, I just double checked, and I was in error, accented Latins do work as expected. I am certain that the inclusion of such in the prior list was a user error.
However the fact that the Greek key layout works begins to suggest the root of the problem.
Interestingly enough this also applies to the Greek layouts internal option modified keys.
I am strongly suspecting a bug here.

Non latin characters in .cfm filename

Hi - I have users who want to name files with non latin characters. i.e.
Логотип_БелРусь_2500x1.cfm
We get a file not found error, it is not an IIS issue and we have UTF-8 encoding and are running CF8.
Yes we can rename the files but for now would like to know if non latin characters are allowed in .cfm file names.
Thank you!

i ask, because pretty sure you can't use non-ascii file names w/cf. there's an
open bug on that:
http://cfbugs.adobe.com/cfbugreport/flexbugui/cfbugtracker/main.html#bugId=77177
only can guess that file encoding isn't latin-1, etc. and/or OS locale equals
the same language as the file name.
cfadmin gives pretty much the same information. Here's a direct copy

HT2534 In Payment type None option is not available...

In my payment type screen, "NONE" option is not available.... I have only three types, "1.VISA, 2.Master Card, 3. AMEX".... I dnt want to register with my credit card detail.... I want use only free applications..... Can any one help me in this.....?

Follow the article:
You must first sign out from existing account.
Settings > Store > Apple ID :youroldID > Sign Out
Then go to App Store to buy a Free App.
From popup window. select Create New AppleID
Indicate Store location and provide necessary information
None option will then be available

HT2534 now the 'none' option is not available????

now the 'none' option is not available????

As I understand it you can only follow the steps that allow you to create an account without a credit/debit card if you do them in exactly as described as you create a new AppleID. If you have already created the AppleID that you want to use, and iTunes is requesting a payment card, then you need to attach a credit/debit card to the account in order to prove that you are resident in the country whose store you are trying to use. Once that has been established you can then set the payment method to None.

HT2534 none option is not available in the page

none option is not available in the page. Kindly help me to review my apple id without giving credit card details. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Open iTunes and navigate to the app store. Select a free app to download. A simple way to do this is to scroll down to the top free apps box on the right hand side, hover your mouse over the first item and click on the free button that appears when you hover over it.
A pop up will open asking you to sign in with your Apple ID click "create new account", click continue to create your account. Check the box to accept the store terms and conditions and click continue.
Enter your email address, password, security question, and date of birth, click continue. Now, you will be asked to provide a payment method. Note now that the last option says "none".

Non-Latin characters no displaying properly in Safari on iPhone

I am having an issue where non-English (Chinese, Japanese etc) characters are displaying as squares on the iPhone's Safari browser. I've seen this issue on Windows when you haven't installed support for Asian languages.
It would appear that the version of OS-X on the iPhones does not have support for non-Latin character sets.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I am having an issue where non-English (Chinese,
Japanese etc) characters are displaying as squares on
the iPhone's Safari browser.
Could you provide the urls? It may be the pages have bad coding. Correctly coded pages will display according to tests I've seen:
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iphonesafarilang.jpg
But unlike OS X the iPhone has no way yet to manually correct for miscoded pages via a View > Text Encoding menu.

Non-latin characters in photo books

Has anybody used symbols or non-latin alphabets when designing photo books? They come out on screen and on proofs just fine (well... it's an Apple, isn't it?) and I assume iPhoto just goes ahead and puts Unicode characters into .pdf verbatim before uploading, however, online printing services may have a problem when processing text.
I am particularly interested in using Greek/Cyrillic alphabets when printing in the UK.

The problem has gone away. I suspect it was a problem with corrupted prefs. I trashed the Safari prefs and rebooted to clear another problem and no longer have the problem with search using Japanese characters.
FWIW, the problem I had when I trashed the prefs was with trying to mail a Safari page. I ran in to this originally a week or two ago and called Apple who told me to delete the Safari prefs and reboot. (Actually they gave an alternate procedure to try first, but I didn't bother.)

Non-English characters not displaying correctly - Serious Issue

My corporate email is on a Lotus Domino server with Lotus Traveler installed.
I have set my PlayBook (with OS 2) up to syncronize with the corporate email trough Active Sync (see http://alturl.com/qh3nn), which works perfectly.
I have however noticed that in some emails special non-english characters are displayed correctly but in some emails special non-english characters are displayed as a black diamond with a question mark inside.
This is of course a serious issue as most non English speaking countries use some special characters.
When trying to understand this problem how can I analyse the emails and see what character set is being used?
And of course better; has someone solved this?

I am having the same problem. Is there any update available?

Mail, Contacts, Calendar not available on iCloud Control Panel on my Win 7 PC for Outlook sync

I have loaded iCloud Control Panel 4.0 on my PC (Win 7 64)
The iCloud Drive, photos & Bookmarks is available to be switched on/off but Mail, Contacts, Calendar etc not available. Instead just a message on top that says you can access Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders at iCloud.com.
How do I setup iCloud so that the Calendar & Contacts on my OUTLOOK 2010 are synced with my iPhone &iPad?

Hey RuiEVG,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information for using iCloud contacts on a Windows PC. It may be that your version of Outlook is not supported:
Get help using iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
Check the system requirements
Make sure that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements.
iCloud Control Panel doesn't support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition.
