Stuck in recovery with foreign language can't insatll os COMPLICATED!!

Stuck in recovery (lanuage is set to foreign country and not changing when clicking on any other country) no wifi connecting tried ethernet not working? Just bought from ebay..2010 macbook pro..it was working fine when first put it on then i wiped the hard drive and tried to reinstall os mavericks but i cant understand any if of it because its in foreign language setting i go up to the right hand corner and change the language but it still just stays the same? I think the airport card could be broke? I put in ethernet and it read it as working but still wouldn't letting me install os? Could someone help?

A late 2011 MBP came with Lion (10.7).  Since you say that you have erased the HDD, I suggest that you do the following:
YOU WILL NEED A SOLID INTERNET CONNECTION.
Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys.
That should result in a display with a revolving globe.
This will connect you to the Apple servers and allow you to install the original OSX (LION).
Follow the instructions.
Installing Lion will create your own account with Apple.
Then you may download and install Mavericks (10.9) from the App store..
Ciao.

  • Reading a text file with foreign language characters

    I'm trying to convert foreign language characters to English looking characters.  I have code that works, but only if I hard code the string with foreign language characters and pass it to the function. I cannot figure out how to get my program to read
    in the foreign characters from my file, they come in as garbage. 
    Since the function works when I pass a hard coded string to it, I'm pretty sure the problem is the way I have the Streamreader set up, it's just not reading the characters correctly...
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader "m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
    Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
    Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
    Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
    removeAccent(currentRec)
    ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
    Loop
    ReplaceWrtr.Close()
    End Sub
    'Replace foreign language characters with English characters
    Function removeAccent(ByVal myString As String)
    Dim A As String = "--"
    Dim B As String = "--"
    Const AccChars As String = "ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
    Const RegChars As String = "SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
    For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
    A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
    B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
    myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
    Next
    removeAccent = myString
    End Function
    I know that removing the accent changes the meaning of the word, but this is what the user wants so it's what I need to do. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)
    Thanks!
    Joni

    Finally got it to work.  I had to remove the first 5 characters from the replacement string (ŠŽšžŸ), couldn't find encoding that would handle these, and to be honest, I didn't really need them.  The important ones are still there, was probably
    just overkill on my part.
    UTF7 worked for the rest...
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
    Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter
    ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
    Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
    Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
    removeAccent(currentRec)
    ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
    Loop
    ReplaceWrtr.Close()
    End Sub
    'Replace foreign language characters with english characters
    Function removeAccent(ByRef myString As String)
    Dim A As String = "--"
    Dim B As String = "--"
    Const AccChars As String = "ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
    Const RegChars As String = "AAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
    For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
    A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
    B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
    myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
    Next
    removeAccent = myString
    End Function
    Thanks for all your help!  Greatly appreciated :)

  • Vision m 30 stuck in recovery with no firmw

    hello,my creative zen vision m 30 gb is stuck in recovery mode. I have downloaded the new firmware but the pc does not detect the player. I now have a player with apperantly no firmware that cannot hook up to any pc. I have reformated, reboot, and reloaded firmware (actually only deleted). All the options on the recovery screen I have tried it on a different pc & using different usb cable. Used windows player 0 & . Verified that the device manager does recognize the player. Deleted and reinstalled the player from the device manager. Updated & rolled back the drivers for the device manager.
    I have tried downloading new patches, updates to the creative explorer, but they would not execute, they would crash trying to. Each and every time - player not detected. I believe i have exhausted all possibilities of my small knowledge base, searching on the net & on Creative's sites, any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You will need a solid Internet connection.  With out it, you will not be able to restore your MBP.  If you have to, go to an Apple store.
    A late 2011 MBP came with Lion.
    Boot the MBP OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down.
    The display should show a revolving globe.
    This will connect you to the Apple servers and allow you to install Lion (10.7)
    Follow the instructions.
    After you have Lion installed, then you can download and install Mavericks (10.9)

  • System.getProperty with foreign language

    Hello All,
    I've developed a program that uses System.getProperty("user.home"), in order to transfer files to that location.
    Everything's going well as long as I'm using English version.
    When one of my customers ran this using a foreign language (Turkish, but it seems to have the same effect on other languages), instead of c:\documents and settings\administrator, he got a wrong fonetic path, i.e. C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTÝNGS\ADMÝNÝSTRATOR (check the I's, they're not the same), although he has the English path in his computer.
    You can see this also when you change the regional settings in an English based Windows to Turkish.
    How can I make the System property look at the correct path (again, this happens in other languages as well)?
    Thanks,
    Barak

    Hmmm.... I didn't think I used toUpperCase in my code. When all else fails, my advice is to read the API...
    [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#toUpperCase()]
    <quote>
    Note: This method is locale sensitive, and may produce unexpected results if used for strings that are intended to be interpreted locale independently. Examples are programming language identifiers, protocol keys, and HTML tags. For instance, "title".toUpperCase() in a Turkish locale returns "T?TLE", where '?' is the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE character. To obtain correct results for locale insensitive strings, use toUpperCase(Locale.ENGLISH).

  • Zen touch stuck in recovery mode, anyone who can hel

    My creative zen touch is stuck in recovery mode and says there is a firmware problem. Anyone no how i can solve this? or what to do about firmware?

    Hi, As you can see from earlier I had the same problem. Caused by trying to upgrade to download the free book from the Times. There is a message and reply on about page 3/4 called "Zen Touch - Firmware". The advice in there pointed to the Devi've Driver in there I enabled my Zen and rebooted PC. I then downloaded 2 upgrade files from NOMAD and it now works. I can't remember the exact sequence of events as it seemed a bit of trial and error but I got there. GOOD LUCK

  • Getting weird adobe pop-up with foreign language characters and no download

    For the last week and change, it seems every time I have been prom,ptsd to download something from done reader, when I click on the "trust website", instead of the page and download opening up, I get an Adobe pop-up with completely foreign language (several different, it looks like) characters, and nothing to click on, and no download.  I'm on a Mac, version 10.8.5, on Safari.  What gives?????
    Cathy

    Thank you for the screenshot.  The text in the message says
    Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement then quit and relaunch the browser.
    So all you need to do is to open the Adobe Reader app, accept the EULA, then restart your browser.
    I don't know why this message is displayed in Japanese, but I have seen similar reports in this forum for the latest Adobe Reader on Mac.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery with itunes logo. wont restore in itunes either. what to do?

    yesterday my iPhone was on the carrier mode 'searching...' and wouldn't find connection, taken sim out put back in. done everything. went to EE store and got told to reset iPhone so that's what I did, from my iPhone. from then it frozen on the restore screen and wouldn't restore. I looked on-line and did recovery mode and now its stuck in recovery and wont restore on iTunes. How do reset and update my phone? HELP

    Had the same thing happen to my iphone 6 that I just purchased 3 weeks ago. I did the latest upgrade to the software ,phone worked fine for the day but later that night it crashed,went to a black screen and would not do anything. I put it into dfu recovery mode to restore which is where it got worse. Phone was locked with the "connect to iTunes screen " and when I tried to restore several times kept getting error code 4003 and 4013. End result was a trip to the genius bar at the Apple Store where it was determined to be most likely some sort of hardware failure so they replaced my phone with what looked like a refurb but so far so good with the new one. Knock on wood. I still believe there are issues with this latest update because although my phone is working it's not running as smooth as it did the first few weeks I had it. I am very disappointed with the ongoing issues with the iPhone's. I've had every model phone from back to the i3 and never had as many issues combined with this latest iPhone 6. Here hoping Apple gets it together or this will be my last ios device!!

  • Garage band help appears in a foreign language. can i change the help to english?

    in os 10.9.7 garage band help appears in a foreign language. Can i change the Garage band help to help to english?

    The GarageBand help is supposed to use the language that is set as your Primary Language in the System Preferences:
    Check the settings, drag the language you want to use to the top of the list,  and restart the system .
    I that does not fix it, reinstall GarageBand. Then the correct language files are probably missing in the application bundle.

  • FDM - Errors with Foreign Language Characters in Load Files

    For our Netherlands data import file, our source account decriptions contain the character "ë". The account decription is not loaded to HFM, but we are receiving error messages when importing. Is there a way to ignore foreign language characters? Another post suggested "Administration", "Configuation Settings", "File Encoding Type" then set to "Unicode", but the version I am using does not have this option. Version is 11.1.1.3.
    Thank you!
    Melody

    Hello Melody,
    If you are using FDM v11.1.1.3.00 the file-encoding is defaulted to Unicode. It might be helpful to contact support.
    It could be your DB isn't setup to handle unicode characters (in this event the information would be stored in the SQL*Loader or MSSQL Logs). It could also be the file you are trying to import actually isn't "unicode" but more of a local ANSI/ASCII format.
    Most 'European' characters were supported in that release; and I know several clients that use it as expected.
    Thank you,

  • My iPod Touch won't restore on iTunes! It's stuck on recovery mode and I can't get it to restore after I updated the software! Help?

    Okay, so I got an iPod touch, 4th gen, 32gb, brand new and running perfectly fine two years ago. Used it for about six months, lost it, and finally found it again a month ago tucked away in my recliner. It was as dead as a doornail, but I had it charged up and ready to go in a few hours.
    So I wanted to get a special app for my iHome, as well as spend all of my accumulated iTunes cards that were previously useless due to the fact that I had lost my iPod for a year and a half. The app store said I had to update to the current software to download anything new, so I did just that about half an hour ago, updating to the latest version of iTunes and downloading the new software for my iPod like I was supposed to.
    Only when I applied it to my iPod, it went into Recovery Mode as expected, but I can't restore it! I've made sure there's no extra USB attachments in it, my firewalls are currently down to get around this stupid thing (just turned them back on because it wasn't working), and feeling like I just let all this money slip down the drain.
    If you have any relevant advice, please help! I'm running on Windows 7 with the current version of iTunes (64 bit). Help!
