Cannot save a file with Windows Latin 1 encoding or Mac OS Roman encoding.  Has anything changed about character encodings, Cannot save a file with Windows Latin 1 encoding or Mac OS Roman encoding.  Has anything changed about character encodings

Hi everybody,
I am in France. I have juste installed Lion.  I have to regularly send php files on to a website on a Linux Gentoo under Apache webserver. Up until now I used Smultron (a text and code editor) and saved the files in Mac Os Roman Character encoding.  This does not work anymore and the French accuentated characters are not displayed correctly on the web site. The website is ISO-8859-1.
I have tried within Smultron but also within TextEdit, to copy and paste a correctly accentuated version of one of the php files and then save it in another encoding but neither apps let me use Mac Os Roman or Windows Latin or even Latin 1, I can only save using UTF8 and I have the following message :
" This document can no longer be saved using its Western (Iso Latin 1) encoding"
If I type a small text with accents and save it as a php file in Iso Latin 1, it works, but not the big files with php code within...
Anybody can help ?  I cannot send links to the web pages because they are password protected.
Thank You very much

I find part of your post rather confusing.  MacRoman and ISO-8859-1 are totally different and one would not expect the former to display correctly if viewed as the latter.
If TextEdit will only save as UTF-8, it seems like your file must have some character in it, perhaps difficult to see, which is not contained in Latin 1.  If you could send me a copy of a file where you have this problem, I could take a look (tom at bluesky dot org).

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

    Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

    brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame
    PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

    Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

    Record about my phone (bought in Verizon store and connected to Verizon for 4 years) has been corrupted and now I can not make any changes to my data plan. Several sessions with the technical support and management have not resolved this issue. Each time technical people and top managers promised that this issue will be resolve tomorrow and they will cal me. Nothing happend!! I can not even cancel my service not just to upgrade it. Completely locked. 
    Any advice?
    Thanks.
    Alex.

    Cannot figure out what your talking about since it makes no sense.
    If you are the account owner you can go to the My Verizon web portal http://www.verizonwireless.com
    You must log in with your cell number and your my Verizon portal password. Not the account pin.
    Once there you can change your plan and services. However repeated incorrect login attempts will lock you out of the site. It a fraud prevention measure.
    1-800-922-0204 call support with your cell number and or account number and account pin and they can assist you.
    If you don't have the information then there is nothing they can do.
    If you can verify who you are they may be able to reset your account access. But only if you are the account owner.
    Good Luck

  • Mavericks won't accept 'change all' command to open ALL pages files with v 4.3 app

    Hello again,
    I upgraded my MacBook Air mid June 2013 build to Mavericks at my Apple store. The download was fast, under 30 min., and the installation went well, also fast at about 40 minutes. All apps are working fine. I spent much time before taking the plunge to learn the pros and cons of this upgrade, and the biggest issue for me was the ability to keep using the older versions of Pages and Numbers.  The new, watered down versions cannot do what I need. I followed the instructions to select a Pages file in Finder, open the Info pane, and under 'Open with' selected the old version. Then, to apply this to ALL the files, I selected 'Change all...' and 'Continue'. But, it still lists the new version as default. So far, the only fix is to go through ALL my files and manually choose the old version for each. Very laborious. Am I missing something? It seems Mavericks will not accept to change them all for some reason.
    Thank you, Cinilla

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Changing the character set in RoboHelp 7 file converted from 5

    The character set of the output files for WinHelp defaults to
    utf-8. How can the default be set to windows-1252 per project or
    for all projects in RoboHelp 7?

    This is related to the posting - "RoboHelp 7 (with patch) IE6
    does not display popup field definitions". Somewhere in our
    environment the character set is getting changed to western
    european (ISO) for the pages that do not load initially in IE6/XP
    from the OAS even though the code generated by RoboHelp is utf-8.
    The WebHelp generated in RoboHelp v5 has a characterset of
    windows-1252. None of the pages with the character set of
    windows-1252 have a problem loading (or changing the character
    set). The problem may be on the OAS or the single signon
    layer.

  • I've found that middlemouse.contentLoadURL feature has changed its behavior in FF5.0 as compared with previous versions

    I've found that middlemouse.contentLoadURL feature has changed its behavior in FF5.0 as compared with previous versions: I now can paste&load only full urls that start with "http://" prefix, but previously it was possible to paste&load any url even without protocol prefix. It is very useful when someone has an url for example just "support.mozilla.com", but with FF5.0 one _has_ to paste it to urlbar instead of just middle-clicking into the browser window (long standing and usual *nix behavior). How can I make middlemouse.contentLoadURL load any clipboard content not prefixed with protocol specification?

    Oops, already found a solution: https://support.mozilla.com/ru/questions/824759
    But, how could it be done via something less freaky (ala about:config)?

  • A client has sent me an indesign file I cannot open. She says she has updated to Indesign CC 2014. I am a CC member and fully updated my own software but cannot open the file she has sent me, not even if she saves as an IDML, how do I resolve the problem?

    There are a few things to try.
    First, if this file came to you vial email attachment, it could have been corrupted. Ask her to zip the file and send it again. That sometimes helps.
    I suppose there's a chance that the file is already zipped, so see if that's the case and unzip it if so.
    If the file name doesn't end with .indd, add it and see if that helps.
    If you are double-clicking, try File>Open from within InDesign.
    Last (and I know this sounds like a joke, but I've seen it many times), sometimes people attach a Mac Alias or Windows Shortcut instead of the actual file. What is the file size? If it's really small, that might be the reason.
    Also, no offense intended if some of this sounds like stuff you have already tried. I don't know what you know, so I'm just spit-balling.

    I am about to buy a 13" MacBook Pro with 256 GB SSD.  I want a Windows partition set up.  What size should it be, and can I load Win XP Pro or does it need to be Win 7 or 8?

    You can use XP but it has to be in a Virtual Machine and OS X as the host instead of as a dual boot system with XP in its own partition. That is how I run Windows on my Mac, in a Virtual Machine.
    Take a look at VritualBox from Oracle. It's free and works very well.

I also set up my apple ID with a new email account and also I signed up for iCloud but used the same apple I'd email and password but it gave me a I cloud email!

Something is messed up, not sure how or why???

    i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
    do a true clean install
    reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
    at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
    exit disk utlity
    at menu, choose install OSX
    this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
    you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue
