Why can't I read a file with Hebrew on my iPod?

I recently purchased a new iPod (30GB, color, video) thinking I would be able to, among other things, see Hebrew song titles and read Hebrew files. I found a small patch that will let the iPod display Hebrew song titles and album names but it has no effect on reading text files.
In the past I have studied Chinese, and my son is learning Japanese, and we are able to put study notes on our iPods and read them with no problem. So I thought reading my personal Hebrew docs on the iPod would be Just as easy. But no luck! Hebrew letters don't even appear on the screen! Please tell me there's a fix.
I have tried using TextEdit. Saving the document in "plain Text" format, and saving it to the iPod "notes" folder. Result: Nothing appears on the iPod screen when I try to view the doc.
I have tried using MS Word 2004. Saving the document as "unicode" and putting it in the iPod "notes" folder. Result: All English words appear properly but the Hebrew letters are completely gone.
I am using a Mac G4, running OS 10.3.9
I have several Hebrew fonts installed:
New Peninim MT
Corsiva Hebrew
Arial Hebrew
Lucida Grande
Raanana
Cardo
SBL Hebrew (this is the only font that I can choose in MS Word 2004 when I am saving as unicode)
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you for the info and links. I never actually read anything from Apple about Hebrew not being supported. Since I was able to use other languages, of seemingly greater complexity, I assumed that Hebrew would work. The patch I was speaking of (that makes Hebrew song titles, etc readable) is actually not a hack. It was developed by a student in an Israeli university and purchased by Apples regional distributor (Yeda Inc., Apple's Israeli distributor). The software is called iPodHE.

Here is a link to installation instructions in english:

I did read somewhere that they are working with Apple to resolve a conflict with the latest version of iTunes and iPodHE v2.0.
Maybe this will be useful to someone.
Thanks again for your help.

Why can't I read EPub files on my Kobo Touch?

I have been successfully downloading and reading EPub files on my Kobo Touch for months now. However, after the recent upgrade to the Touch I have been having some challenges. I follow the same procedure as always to download library books to ADE and then drag and drop the file to the KoboeReader icon in the ADE screen. ADE says the file has transfered and the book shows in the Kobo library in ADE. When I disconnect my eReader and turn it on the books do not appear on the Touch. Any suggestions?
Note: I did try de-authorizing and re-authorizing my Touch and it didn't correct the problem.

Sorry. I think you misread me. I know you said the software upgrade messed me up and I agree. It was Kobo Support who said the ebook/library book that caused the problem. When I called Kobo Support to see if they had a fix they told me it was my library's problem. I kept going back to the software upgrade and all the trouble shooting I had done - including the paperclip in the back - but the tech just kept getting me to do the same things over and over. You were spot on that they would try to place the blame on something other than their upgrade but they didn't blame ADE. The tech didn't have any new suggestions . I eventually gave up on her and took the device back to its like new settings, unintalled and reinstalled all the software on both my device and pc. It is working now but unfortunately I lost a couple of books. Thanks for your input.

Why can't I open pdf files with Safari 7.0.6 and OS 10.9.4?

I have just upgraded to Mavericks from OS 10.6.8. When I attempt to open a pdf file in Safari, I get the following message:
Abobe Reader
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.
Well, I must have already accepted the Agreement because I can open pdfs directly from Adobe Reader and from other browsers. Why doesn't can't I open them from Safari?

Launch Adobe Reader from your Launch Pad. Then accept the end user license agreement.
I found that suggestion here > ADOBE - ACCEPT END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT

Why can't I read .pfd files when sent to me in email or web sites?

whenever I get a email or visit a web site I cannot read the attachment or the web site if it is a .pfd document.

I have this problem too with my Western Digital 1TB My Passport for Mac.
Downloaded Card Data Recovery - did not work. The software self terminated itself when the problematic WD is connected. Starts up fine when the WD is not connected by USB.
Then I downloaded Remo Recovery. Starts up fine, scans fine and appears to save the files but ALL the files 'saved' are unreadable.
Finally, downloaded Stellar Phoenix in a last ditch attempt to recover my precious video files. Starts fine, saves fine BUT it cannot save files above 200MB because the WD stops working every 10 minutes.So, did not solve my problem totally because I have so many files above 200MB.
And yes, I PAID for all the software above. And the first two software are reluctant to refund me my money until their development team can ascertain whether it's a software bug, over online web conference. And because of the time differences, I can never get online with them. So, all my money gone.
Until one day I opened Activity Monitor and noticed this 'fsck_hfs' starting up everytime I connected the problematic WD My Passport for Mac.
So, tried to Force Quit 'fsck_hfs' and VOILA!
A dialogue box popped up and says that the Passport for Mac cannot be repaired and that I can move and copy files from it but not save to it.
PHEW!!
At least I can access the files and save them to my Seagate 1TB although now I am having a problem opening FCP X project files rescued from the WD.

Why can't I open pdf files allthough having adobe reader 9 preinstalled on my new windows 7 laptop?

Hi!
I think my question might be simple to answer, so please if you read this give it a try...
I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 on it. Adobe Reader 9 was allready installed. I wanted to open simple pdf files, but I got the message "Adobe Reader ?" in an empty field that pops up.
Why can't I open pdf files? Do I also need to install the Adobe Flash Player as well?
I would be very glad if you could give me a hint.
Thanx

It appears as if Adobe Reader is not correctly installed. Try installing the latest version 9.2 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ - make sure that you uncheck any unwanted software bundled with the download.
P.S. no, you don't need Flash Player to open PDF files.

Why can't I open pdf file? Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't open either

I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....
Please.. someone... help!!!

I can't read a file with the ext PDF the sender informed me that the file was reset to PDF.

I can't read a file with the .ext PDF the sender informed me that the file was reset to PDF. But when I tried to open it the caption box informed me"the file is not in PDF format. I suspect the sender simply changed the file .ext which is why I can't open it! What can I do about it! I am working on an iPad.
Thanks
Mr Jim Lapthorn

If the document is not, in fact, a PDF, then you will need to get your sender to provide a PDF.
Can you open this document in any other application?

Very strange! What is your installed Reader version?
Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Can we read Money files with iCompta?

Can we read Money files with iCompta?

Yes and no. I f you mean reading multiple files as one-single-payload to a process, you can not use this. But the file adapter reads all the files (depending on the number of agents) almost at once, processing each file, or each line in the file as a process instance.

Why can't I read iBooks with wi-fi?

Why can't I read iBooks without wi-fi?

if the iBooks are downloaded to your iPad they should be available to read in iBooks.
If the iBooks were downloaded onto your computer and not sync'd to your iPad then they would not be availble, but as long as they are on the iPad you should be able to open iBooks and read them.
