Appears in Arabic characters when you are tying to type in English?

what to do when you type as usual in a Word doc or in Facebook and it appears in Arabic characters when you are tying to type in English?

Check in 'Languages' in International (system preference panels) to see if the default language of choice has somehow changed to another one.
Usually you can change this while in an Admin account, since its effect may be system-wide.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

ColdFusion 8 drops Arabic characters when generating PDF doc

Hello All,
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong here! I have trouble with generating a PDF document from ColdFusion.
The cfm document contains mixed English and Arabic text and it seems that the ColdFusion's embedded PDF Generator drops Arabic characters when creating the PDF file.
I attached a bare bone cfm document (see print_test.cfm) that I used as an example to the stated problem.
The document:
displays fine in FireFox 3.0.10 (see attached print_test_screenshot.jpg) Used link:
http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm?display=yes
This image file also shows the characters that get dropped by the ColdFusion's embedded PDF Generator.
is converted fine in PDF by the FireFox 3.0.10 using print command line (see attached print_test_firefox.pdf) Used command:
“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -print "http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm?display=yes" -printmode pdf -printfile "c:\pdf\print_test_firefox.pdf" -printdelay 150
is NOT converted to PDF properly by the ColdFusion using the embedded PDF generator (see attached print_test_cf.pdf) Used command: http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm
The print_test.cfm file, which I had to remove since this forum allows me to post only 3 attachments, has the following content:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

"I suppose you did it through the cfdocument tag in a cfm document". nope i used
the iText library (the one that ships w/cf) directly in cf to see where the
problem actually was. i don't think this is something you want to do?
i reported this as a bug to adobe, you can help get something done by adding
your own bug report here:

Change dictionary directly when you are typing...

I write messges in Portuguese (Brazil) and english and I would like to have in another IOS version an option that you can change dictionary when you are typing because sugestions will appears on language selected only in Iphone setting.
Messagin could has a option to touch and you can select the language to type. When you close messaging to send an SMS for exemple, the dictionary language back to default.
Tks

Suggestions follow the keyboard setting, not the language. So you just activate 2 keyboards and then switch between them using the "Globe" key.
To tell Apple you want a new feature, use

Take a look at Quite Imposing.

Is there a location aware wifi option (or app) that enables wifi at a specific location (home) and automatically disables it when you are away from the specified location?

I manually turn off my wifi when leaving home for several reasons:
1. I don't want my wifi to be on and constantly scanning wifi networks while I am away from home due to privacy reasons. Many retail stores and airports are now tracking users based on their smartphone's wifi pings. They can then store your phone's MAC address (the unique identifier of your phone) to determine how often you visit the store and where you go within the store. It's just a matter of time before they match up your phone's MAC address with your credit card/payment info and then to your identity. The only way to subvert this is to turn off your phone's wifi.
2. For security reasons: Wifi access points can track devices that broadcast their wifi signal, even if they don't ever actually connect to the access point's network. These access points can then store your device's details including your phone's MAC address. Once your phone's MAC address is discovered, it can be targeted by a hacker. In addition, there are multiple well known hacker tools that can be used to scan for smartphone wifi signals in order to detect and then hack your iphone. Bottom line: if your wifi is discoverable, then your device is hackable.
3. I believe it would save battery life if the iphone's wifi is not on and constantly scanning for networks all the time.
There are other reasons as well, but the above are my 3 main reasons for asking about this.
The reminders app is location aware - you can set reminders to alert you when you are at a specific location. So, why not provide the option (or an app) to only enable wifi when you are at home - or any other location where you have an authorized or trusted wifi?
As it is right now, the iphone's wifi is broadcasting 24/7 everywhere you go. Not great for privacy & security. When I turn off my wifi, the phone uses my 4G plan for data and GPS for location services... so wifi is not needed at all for data or location services while I am away from home (and no, wifi does not improve location accuracy, that is a fallacy... there is nothing within the wifi protocol that could ever improve location accuracy). But the point is, wifi should have a location aware option. Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before there is a headline story about how not having this feature is a huge security/privacy problem.

Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off.

When you are pulling music from a hard drive and it says music can not be found, is there a way to stop it from doing that every time I play music from my computer? It used to find all music now it only finds 1 song at a time

When pulling music from a harddrive and it say music can not be found, is there a way to stop this from happening every time I play music on my computer? It used to find all music when serching for song but now it only finds 1 at a time. I have over 2000 songs so I can't go through this every time.

1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
Yes
2) Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

HT5105 How can you do picture in picture when you are working with a Multicam clip?

How can you do picture in picture when you are working with a Multicam clip?

Im doing a drumming music video and with the multi cam clip all the angles are nicely sync'd top the audio.
Problem is if i want to have 3 angles on top of the main shot, im gonna have to re-sync them all to get them to line up manually. If i could use the multi cam clip they will already be aligned
Thanks for trying to help appreciate, hoping someone has some multiclip knowledge and will be able to tell me if yay or nay.

ItemFocusOut called twice when you are using datagrid

Have you ever encountered itemFocusOut called twice when you
are using datagrid. I use this event to check the text that has
been entered.
Also when I use regex expressions
if((event.itemRenderer as TextInput).text.search(new
RegExp(/.*\..*\./)) != -1){
in the itemFocusOut method and someone enters
234.34.234
I get an error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.

Could some be so kind as shed some light on this
situation

I've worked around the error. I had something to do with the
fact that the event was being twice and I worked my handling code
around to avoid the error. However the problem with the event still
remains. I think it is because the data it in the grid is being
refreshed intentially after the code in the itemFocusOut is called
that is cause the second event to fire.

Is there a way to back up a step or undo a step in Camera Raw, like you can do when you are in PS with history?

While in camera raw, editing a photo, is there a way to back up a step or undo a step like you can do when you are in PS with history?

johnh316, There is no so called Backup step. However, you can undo the changes using Ctrl+Z.
Else, suggestions given by JJMack are worth following.
Since you are using Camera Raw, you can anytime revert back to the default state by going choosing "Camera Raw Defaults" from the Options Menu.
