Can you help me find my special characters?

I have used special characters without any hitch in the past. But now I can't bring them up at all.  Not in Pages, or in Mail.  Can anyone suggest a solution?  I'm using a rather old 12"  iBook G4.

That's strange!  This was a very common problem and fix several years ago when 10.5 came out and I don't remember hearing of anyone losing anything.
Me too Tom
But it's easy to get odd behavior with the terminal. One added letter or a dropped one may make a huge difference.
It's why I encapsulate calls to terminal in a Do Shell Script  instruction.
This may I may easily triple check it before execution.

    I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
    it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
    ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
    I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
    if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):

    sun spots

    if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
    there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

  • Can you help me find a FREE replacement for Comcast PWP that has FTP access?

    So, here's how I use Comcast's PWP via FTP: First and foremost, I use FireFTP. I'd prefer to be able to keep using it. Ok, so I'm on Overclock.net and I enjoy providing tech support for anyone who needs it, when I can provide it. To that end, many of my replies to their threads are more like tutorials. So, this includes inserting screenshots into my post (not just the link, but inserting the whole image) and sometimes providing links to files that they need. In order to do that, I just upload the file (whether it's an image file or some kind of file that they need) in FireFTP, grab the URL, and use it. It's extremely easy and fast. How do I use the URL? If it's an image file, then I will just use the <img> tags (HTML code for those of you who aren't sure what I'm talking about). Overclock.net's post editor does have an 'Insert Image' button, but most of my screenshots are so big that they get resized, and I can't have that. Using the HTML code bypasses their auto-resizing "feature". If it's just a file, then I will simply paste the URL. Every now and then, I might choose instead to link some word or a phrase to a screenshot image file or the regular file that they need. It depends on what makes the most sense at the time. Like, sometimes I need to make a step-by-step list and sometimes I need a screenshot to be in one of those steps. So instead of trying to find a way to insert an image into one of the steps, I just link some text to the screenshot image file. This link needs to point to the image file (so, directly to the image), not a web page that has the image on it!! All options that I have personally looked at so far either cost money (I am not going to pay for simple file storage when I am using it like this LOL that would be stupid), or they don't provide an easy way AT ALL to obtain the absolute direct link to the file. Instead, they make you dig and dig and dig if you want that link, otherwise you're stuck with a link that points to a web page where the file download is located. Sigh. I hate that. I can't use that. Not for this type of use! I just want what I have now with Comcast's PWP via FireFTP. That's all. It's free, and I have fast downloads for my users, no file upload limit (I could upload a 1 GB file right now if I wanted to), and no expiration date on anything - including my account. I could go 6 months without any activity and still be able to use Comcast's PWP space via FireFTP. Most services seem to say that if you go inactive for more than 30 days, then your account is terminated. Most services also have a file upload limit of like 5 or 10 MB, and some of my files absolutely NEED to be much bigger than that from time to time because sometimes they are big setup files that the person needs that can't be found on the internet anymore - that I still have. Old ones. So, I also absolutely cannot have a limit on how big of a file I can upload - just as long as it doesn't exceed the storage space that's available to me, obviously. Like the 1 GB storage limit on Comcast's servers. So, can you help?

    I've lost track with all of the 'discontinuance' talk going on in the other threads. Have you found a host that feeds your needs? It reads as if the goal is very simple:- have a host that can hold files for use on a message board- when someone clicks on, let's say, the <IMG> or text link, it simply displays the linked image or kicks off a file download. File size and what-not are different issues, though noted.I insert images, I don't link to them. Most people probably link to images, but I put them right in the post, just as if it were a true tutorial. The <img> tag in HTML is what displays the image on the page. Inserting images means that you display them in your post. Just like this:  My images though are usually big screenshots. This is just a tiny example to show that I don't link to images, I insert them. The only time that I link to an image is when it makes more sense, such as needing to have an image inside of a list of instructions where I don't want to split the instructions up with a big screenshot. Sometimes I only need to quickly mention the image in a paragraph, and so I'll link a word or a phrase or sometimes even a sentence to it. Dropbox is working somewhat OK. Uploads are noticeably slower, and it's pretty clunky for me. I have to delete "dl=0" at the end of the link and type "raw=1" every single time if I want to avoid having the link point to the web page where the file is located (and I need to avoid that pretty much 100% of the time), and I have to go outside of Firefox to upload the file and I no longer have a very fast method of grabbing the URL. I used to just stay inside Firefox: press Alt+T, then W then F, then Tab, then Enter, and then I'd upload the file, select the file, press Ctrl+U and bam I'd be able to work with the URL however I want. That entire process usually took like 5-7 seconds (yeah, including grabbing the URL - uploads were always just that fast). Now with Dropbox, lol, the whole process from start to finish isn't worth timing. If I decide to keep using it, then I'll have to get used to it. Maybe someday it'll be that fast with Dropbox. I don't know. So, I guess I'm still looking, but at least I have something just in case I don't find anything. heh I really hate having to delete "dl=0" and then type "raw=1" every single time though. So I'd still be much happier if I could find good free FTP hosting that provides at least a gigabyte per account, the ability to have more than one account (so that I could have more space, just like with Comcast), fast uploads, and nice fast downloads. Of course, no limit to how big the upload is and no expiration date on my files or no required activity (the ability to be inactive for however long I want). I guess I'm dreaming. heh

  • Tried to fix spotlight indexing and lost my entire drive and backup; can you help me find them?

    Hi,
    I am in a complete crisis. If anyone can help me, I'd be very grateful.
    I tried to correct my Spotlight indexing by using a combination of the sudo mdutil -E / , sudo mdutil -i on / , and sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight-V100 commands from the terminal.
    I am not sure what happened, but the computer went into an interminable color-wheel and, when I shut down and rebooted after an hour or two, I found that both my main drive and my backup drive had severe problems.
    DiskUtility volunteered to correct these. I ran it on my main drive and found that my entire directory appears to have been erased.
    Disk Warrior cannot repair.  Nor can TechTool.  Both declare that the directory structure is now beyond repair (which they also say of my former backup clone).
    My main drive now has barely nine files left - and a handful of empty folders:
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Library/Application Support/
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Frameworks/
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Preferences/com.bittorrent.uTorrent.plist
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Users/ericcolvin/Library/Autosave Information/
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Directories/System/
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Directories/System/Library/Exten sions/KextPropertyValues_OSBundleHelper_i386.plist.gz
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Directories/System/Library/Exten sions/KextIdentifiers.plist.gz
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Directories/System/Library/Exten sions/IOKitPersonalities_i386.ioplist.gz
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.bootstamps/0E6271FF-3F33-3661-9B4A-38AFF32D4 860/
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/Applications/
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/net/
    file:///Volumes/Eric's HD/home/
    Though I did not run any file repairs on the back up drive, it has also lost all of its files (it shows just one remaining
    file:///Volumes/Eric's Backup/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi - whatever that is).
    FileSalvage is now beavering away, attempting to scavenge some 350Gb of applications, e-mails, photos, iTunes, and movies (most of which it is unable to name). But these will all be unlabelled and randomly organised by extension type. These could take months to sift through and the list is almost certain to be incomplete. I have no other backups of my system apart from a two year old clone.
    Please tell me. Is there anything I can do to get back my lost directory structure?
                           Might there be some use of an Undelete routine that might recover the directory alone and thus allow me to salvage either disk?
                            I don't even know what sort of extension to hunt for in order to attempt such a restore
                           - nor how I might drop it back into its correct spot on the volume.
    All suggestions gratefully received.

    Thanks, guys.
    Yes, FileSalvage seems able to retrieve a vast jumble of unnamed "junk files," a tiny percentage of which are probably highly valuable to me. The problem will be finding them amongst the jumble. It could take weeks. ITunes files and MP3s are more promising, as it seems to have been able to reconstruct the files' names - and even cover art - from their metadata.
    No. TechTool Pro wrote nothing at all. Sadly, though, I had allowed Disk Utility to reduce the number of threads or leaves or something in the volume directory, before I realised the gravity of the situation. It has thus made a very small alteration to my main drive (resulting, no doubt in the creation of those 9 system files and their containing folders). But the back-up drive had nothing further written to it since the apparent deletion of the volume.
    I downloaded a freeware program called TestDisk which claims to analyse drive partitions. The partitions on each of my two physical drives (the internal and the backup clone) were not apparently affected - just the total loss of the volume directory structure on the boot partition in each case. So, would this be the wrong tool for the job?  http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk  It does claim to be able to "Rebuild NTFS boot sector." I don't really know what that means. Can anyone tell me whether a rebuilt boot sector will enable me to recover a deleted volume directory structure?
    Meanwhile, I am also running a trial version of Stellar Phoenix, which claims to reinstate "lost/deleted volumes."  It claims to have "found 6 lost/deleted volumes" already - after five hours, during which it has scanned about 5% of my 1.5 T external drive. So I suppose it may well take days to finish scanning. Then, I expect it may ask me to buy a serial code in order to proceed.
    Does anyone have experience with Phoenix, or understand the jargon about lost/deleted volumes? Once I've bought the full version, is there a good chance it will actually reconstruct the whole volume as it once was - or is it more likely just to scavenge scores of thousands of nameless file snippets as per FileSalvage?
    I don't have a problem with paying the boffins at Stellar if they are actually able to save me months of sifting through random unnamed files in order to locate the ones I've lost.

  • Can you help me find my missing albums?

    I am an artist on iTunes. I have contacted iTunes support but have heard nothing back.Two of my albums, Peaceful Solo Piano from the Heart and Solo Piano for Love, Peace & Mermaids have disappeared from my catalogue both online and in iTunes. Here is the online link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/louis-landon/id5162009. If I search for each of the two missing albums, they are still available, but they are no longer connected with my name as an artist. They used to be there. Does anyone know who to contact or what can be done?
    Thanks!

    The iPod must be turned on and connected to the internet to show up in iCloud, so if the battery is dead there is nothing anyone can do to help find it.

  • My first IPAD; can you help me find a cover and keyboard?

    Thanks in advance for reading this:
    Im buying a IPAD 3 tomorrow and I think I am going to need some sort of protective case for it. That said, id like for this case/cover to work seemlessly with the Logitech Ultrathin keyboard (whcih I have read very good things about). I hear that certain covers will not work with the ultrathin.
    What case/cover would you suggest and, would you recommend the Logitech keyboard?
    Any other combinations of accessories and/or advice/tips is greatly appreciated!

    Never tried it. Personally I do love the smart cover. It's my 3rd cover I have tried and I like it the best. I use just an apple wireless keyboard. I like apples keyboards, but any Bluetooth will do.
