Symbol and Text Substitution not working correctly

Hello,
in „Language & Text“ I have the following symbol and text substitutions enabled, which aren’t working in Pages version 5.1.1 (iMac 2011, Yosemite 10.10.1):
„- - >“ (written without blank space between the characters) which should be substituted to „➜“.
In Safari this works, but in Pages it isn’t working.
Other substitutions work in Pages, for example:
„! ! s s“ (written without blank space between characters) is substituted to „ẞ“ in Safari and Pages.
Can somebody help me?

In Pages v5.5.1 and Yosemite 10.10.1, I can reproduce the injected space issue resulting from your Keyboard > Text substitution for „-->” to „→” . Even if you remove one of the '-', Pages will still insert the space before the right arrow in the result. This is a bug.
Fix: „..>” will produce the arrow without the injected space.

There doesn't seem to be 'symbol and text substitution' on yosemite, i.e. cannot shorten 1/2 or 1/4 as in pages 09

Has anyone found 'symbol and text substitution' on Pages 5 please? On Pages 09 you could change the style of fractions i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 2/3 etc. Thanks

Text Substitution has moved out of the applications and into System Preferences > Keyboard Text. Fractions that are not present can be constructed from the special characters panel (Edit ▸ Special Characters…). Search on the word fraction.
If you want to roll your own, then choose the gear selector in the upper left corner of the special characters toolbar, and customize list… . Choose Digits - All. Once Digits - All appears in your left category panel, select it, and then scroll down to the fraction components. These are the small numbers before and after the forward slash. Double-click to place in the With category of the Keyboard Text window.

Symbol and Text Substitution Settings File-

Hi,
I have two computers with Snow Leopard, and I've made a [large] list of substitutions on one computer. I'd really rather not spend my time manually copying them over from each computer. I've tried looking for a settings files to copy, but I can't find it. The one for words I've chosen to have OS X 'learn' is found in the 'Spelling' folder (~/Library), but I can't find substitutions.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Hit the '+' icon bottom right to add your own.
Otherwise, you should perhaps look to a 3rd party app, such as TypeIt4Me:

Be sure whatever you find is snow leopard compatible, of course.

Symbol and Text Substitution

What applications are the Symbol and Text substitutions supposed to work in? Mine don't seem to work in any. Neither the original default ones now ones I have created myself work in a web browser, Mail, Word, etc.
Any help to get them working would be appreciated.

I just played with it a little bit before responding to this post.
MS Excel 2008 it appears that only the copyright and registered symbol worked as listed in the 'Language & Test' preference. The trademark symbol is listed as only typing 'TM' (w/o quotes), however in Excel it required the () to work. Non of the fractions worked.
In MS Word 2008 everything was the same except the fractions also worked.
I couldn't get any of the 'custom' ones to function, like type !@ and get Hello.
I then went to Textedit, and everything worked including the ones I created.
So it looks like it is hit and miss as to what will work and what won't.

Storage place for Symbol and Text Substitution

I use Symbol and Text Substitution (Preferences - Language and Text) a lot and like to copy my

Can anybody tell me where this information is stored?

Found it: this info is stored in a hidden file ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences

Upgraded from Iphone 4 to 5s and text iMessage not working

Hello,
I've just upgraded my phone from a 4 to a 5S. In the store the clerk called my
phone to make sure it was working. Before I got home my wife had sent me several
texts that went to my old phone. After getting home I went through iTunes and restored
my new phone with the contacts/apps etc from my old phone. I've tried logging out
of all iTunes, FaceTime, iMessage etc on old phone but still can't get new phones iMessage
to work. Also reset old phone and removed SIM card. Any suggestions to fix this?
Thanks for your help.

Chris,
Thanks for the speedy response. To answer you questions:
No- iMessage has never worked.
It recognizes my new phone number when I look in the cellular
settings. In the messages settings I can't find my phone #, just turn
iMessage on/off, sign in with Apple ID which I've tried, SMS and a couple
other items that's it. No send and receive options.
iMessage is not activated.
My wife sent the texts to my phone number not my Apple ID.
I'm not getting anymore messages on the old device.
I got one text on the new phone from a buddy with an iPhone but
it was just a SMS text.
I hope this info helps.
My phone works though, I just checked, just iMessage/FaceTime
and texts aren't working. My wife sent me a text that neither phone
has received.
Thanks

Copy and paste buffers not working correctly in iOS 8.1m

Both iPads2's in my family arsenal are exhibiting what I believe to be a bug in the iOS8.1 (perhaps corrected by 8.1.1?), in the cut/copy & paste buffer stack.
When invoking the operation to copy and paste data from one application to another, the paste action consistently selects the previous (e.g., stack level 2 rather than 1 or Top) data as what is to be pasted.
In other words, if you have used the copy and paste routine twice, the second pasting will supply one with the paste data from the first operation, rather than the desired data from the second copy and paste operation.
Copy and paste appears to work correctly from within a single application, but consistently fails when copying data from one application to another.
Does anyone know of a work-around for this bug? Is it a bug that others have identified? Is there a new selection filter menu option for copy and paste operations, and what method is used to invoke the menu?
I hope this is addressed soon, as I use Cut/Copy & Paste operations extensively (I've already had Carpal Tunnel Release surgery once and don't relish a repeat performance, no matter how successful the first was in correcting the damage).
Any clues as to what's going on here?
thanks in advance,
labernache

All you can do is simply see if iOS 8.1.1 helps you with this. With some people it has, and others it has not. I would also recommend doing a clean install of your system, too.
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

Actions and Advanced Actions not working correctly. - Captivate 8

In our project, we have it set so that after every section the student is asked three quiz questions (they are set on the default quiz slides.) On success, the person jumps to the next question slide. On failure, the person goes to next slide which has two buttons - one that allows them to simply move forward to the next quiz question and one that allows them to go back and review. The "Go back and Review" button takes the person back to the specific content slide that contains the answer to the question they are being asked. This button is set to advanced actions "Jump to Slide ..." and "Show Button..." - The button is a 'Return to Quiz' button to allows the person to find the answer then try the question again. I know that the buttons on the default quiz slides cannot be programmed to do a specific action, but every time we click 'Submit' it seems fine until we click 'Next' to move ahead, it then routes us back to one of the content slides (Slide 7) instead of the next slide (if wrong), or the next question slide (if right). I have looked at the Advanced Interactions Window and there is nothing linking this slide to anything. I have not had this problem with any of our other modules or sections. I have tried creating new question slides and it did not work. I deleted Slide 7 and it worked fine the first time through the preview, but then when I viewed the preview again, it started jumping back and would not even let me get to the questions. Can anyone help?

Normally the Next button on a question slide is not needed, because it has the functionality of Skipping the question. It is however needed if you want to allow Review.
Another explanation is that you did change the normal work flow for a question slide, where a two-step process for submitting will take automatically the user to the next slide.
Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
What did you do to need the Next button? If the user submits:
Feedback appears with the indication to press Y or to click on the slide, happens at the pausing point of the Question slide (default is 1.5secs)
When user presses Y or clicks, the actions Success/Last Attempt are executed if all attempts are exhausted, and you have only 1 attempt on Question level: the actions are by default Continue, but you can change it to 'Go to Next Slide' to shorten the waiting time (or drag the pausing point closer to the end of the slide).
What did you change?

HT2509 Font Book not working correctly? or Text Edit not working correctly?

I downloaded a font onto Font Book and it works perfectly on Font Book and all the characters and symbols come up correctly, as they should. Then when I use it on Text Edit, it replaces the ', " and @ with a $ sign. What can I do to fix this, or is it unfixable? I'm using a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm not sure what could be causing this situation.

It does that because that's the way the lazy person who created this font built it. Here's the layout of the font you're having trouble with:
Now compare it to the OS X supplied font Andale Mono:
Note on the third line, second from the right that Andale Mono has an @ symbol in the "at" position. The person who created the font you downloaded types a $ sign because that's what they put there, along with dozens of other glyph positions (must have really loved how they drew that $ sign). Which when you look where the quote and apostrophe are, they are also filled with the $ glyph.
The font is a piece of junk. Delete it.

Crystal Export Tab Text (TTX) Not working correctly in program using Objects Driver XI

I have created a report in Crystal 2013 that I need to export as a tab delimited file for import into QuickBooks. If I run the export from within Crystal 2013, the export works fine. All the data is there delimited by tabs. Each field is set to "Can Grow".
The image in Excel shows I am in cell A3 and it has only one item in it TRNS, each field is in its own column.
We purchased software that uses the Business Objects XI Driver (the Crystal Redistributable program). When I run the program to export the data (the software only lets you export this report) and choose tab delimited, none of the data is delimited, it is all concatenated together in one big long string for each line.
If the data is longer than the field length in Crystal, the "Can Grow" option moves all the extra information to line 2, and all fields that had extra data and went to line 2 is concatenated together in one string. And if the data went to a line 3 it concatenated all the line 3 data together.
The image in Excel shows I am in cell A3 and it has everything on row 3 combined into one string, data that is not set to "Can Grow" is cut off like the date which is showing 6/13/20 (does not show the 14) and it continues to the 1100 (which is the General Ledger code, but cuts off "Account Payables"). The company name is set to "Can Grow". The company name is CASTS CAST SERVICES AND MACHINGING. You can see CASTS CAST on line 3 but the rest of the company name moves down to row 4 and 5.
If I export the file from the software as txt, I get the same thing as exporting it as tab delimited.
I cannot figure out why this is doing this.

Hi Les,
Unfortunately CR XI is end of life and end of support so we can't get any patches to you, if one existed for this issue or not.
Only option is to ask them if they have an update to current supported CR Versions and runtime, CR 2011, 2013 and the runtime is CR for Visual Studio.
FYI, your TTX in the title is NOT the correct acronym to use because we had a legacy export type to ttx file format, it's no longer supported at runtime, so you you should refer to it as Tab Delimited and not TTX.

Spry Vertical Menu and sub menus not working correctly

I am designing a website for a client and cannot get the spry vertical menu and submenus to work correctly. The submenus will show on the index.html page, but not on any other pages, or when I preview in browser. Should I make it a library item then add it to the other pages? I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I appreciate your help!

Get the value from dropdown list (selectedIndex) and text field -- not working

Hi All,
I am trying to find and change by the values selected by user using dropdown and text field. Here is the code.
ChangeRevDetails();
function ChangeRevDetails(){
          var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Enter copyright information"});
//    var monthlist = col1.dropdowns.add('myList', undefined, myList);
          var col1 = myDialog.dialogColumns.add();
          var col2 = myDialog.dialogColumns.add();
    col1.staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Month:"});
          col1.staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Year:"});
    col1.staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Rev. no.:"});
    var myList = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "Sepetember", "October", "November", "December" ];
     var myMonth = col2.dropdowns.add({stringList:myList, selectedIndex:0, minWidth:100});//{minWidth:100});
     var myYear = col2.textEditboxes.add({editContents:"2013", minWidth:100});
     var MyRev = col2.textEditboxes.add({minWidth:100});
    var RevMonth = (myList [myMonth.selectedIndex]);
    var RevYear = myYear.editContents;
    var RevNumber = MyRev.editContents;
    var RevToReplace1 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear;
    var RevToReplace2 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear + " Rev. " + RevNumber;
    var myResult = myDialog.show();
        if(myYear.editContents == "") //entry is ""
        alert("Please enter some text into the contents field.");
        ChangeRevDetails();
        else if(myResult == true) //user entered datas
            alert (RevMonth);
            alert (RevYear);
            alert (RevNumber);
            alert (RevToReplace1);
            alert (RevToReplace2);
            app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
            app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
            // grep find/change
            app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
            app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "[\\l\\u]+?\\s?\\d{4},?\\s+[\\l\\u]+\\.*\\s+\\d+";
            app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Back page"). paragraphStyles.item("Legal_7/9");
            app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = RevToReplace1;
            app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Back page"). paragraphStyles.item("Legal_7/9");
            app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
            app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
            app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    else //implies user clicked cancel
    myDialog.destroy();
The problem is, it is not taking the value which the user selects from the dropdown and the text field. It takes the default value as "January" and the year is "2013" as both of these values are given as selectedIndex:0 and editContents:"2013". I have compared the coding with some other working scripts as well, but it is not working. I have added several alert boxes to check the value we get.
Also, the find and change is also not working. Please help me on this. Thanks.
Regards,
Muthuraj. D

Change the order for dialogresults:
var myYear = col2.textEditboxes.add({editContents:"2013", minWidth:100});
var MyRev = col2.textEditboxes.add({minWidth:100});
var myResult = myDialog.show();
if(myYear.editContents == "") //entry is ""
alert("Please enter some text into the contents field.");
ChangeRevDetails();
else if(myResult == true) //user entered datas
var RevMonth = (myList [myMonth.selectedIndex]);
var RevYear = myYear.editContents;
var RevNumber = MyRev.editContents;
var RevToReplace1 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear;
var RevToReplace2 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear + " Rev. " + RevNumber;
didn't have a look for the find change problem

Auto text/Punctuation not working correctly?

Hi there, I've recently got a Curve 9320 model, and although the capitalization and auto grammar and punctuation work fine when I'm typing text messages, it will not work on apps, for example I use AIM a lot, and the words I type will be lower case, and have no grammar or punctuation. However my previous phone was the older Curve, and auto spell and punctuation feature worked for everything.
Any idea on how to get it to work with apps, especially AIM?
Thanks.

Hello techknowledgey and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're having an issue with AIM and punctuation.
Does this lack of punctuation and auto text only seem to occur within AIM or have you noticed this happen within other apps or message formats?
What software version does your BlackBerry Curve 9320 have installed?
Thanks!

My phone is so slow won't download any apps and data is not working correctly

I have the moto e with straight talk

Hi
This is not a Firefox thing, but there are some general housekeeping activities you can do to make your telephone run much easier.
First of all, uninstall any apps and widgets you do not need. It is amazing how they can clutter up your phone! In the app drawer, long press on an app or widget and drag it to the uninstall option at the top of the screen.
So you have a sizeable SD card in your phone? If so, in Settings app , scroll down to Storage and tap "Move media". As it says on the menu, this will move your media files to your memory card, thus freeing up space on your phone.
Before you leave Storage, scroll up a little and tap on "Cached Data" and selected to clear the cached data.
In Settings>Apps, scroll across to "On SD Card" and tick a few boxes to move some of your apps to your memory card. (Note: With some apps, this may mean that any accompanying widgets will not work, this is a bug with Android).
Once finished, turn off your phone and turn it back on again and you should find your phone has quite a bit more space and is running a bit quicker.
