Certain sms are all question marks?!

Dear all,
Not sure if anyone is having the same problem. I recently upgraded my 3G to iPhone 4 (both unlock versions from Hong Kong). My colleague from Korea sends me English sms but all show as ??? ???
The same sms sent to another iphone 4 showed correctly. The sms sent to my old 3G by the same colleague were all OK. I also asked another friend in Korea sent test sms to my new iphone 4 and it was OK too. Just the messages from the colleague to my iphone 4 are all ??? ???
I am sure it is not related to Korean/Chinese characters, since all messages are in English. This bothers me a lot, since we need to communicate frequently via sms. Please, please help!!

I did some research on Google and found a few references to this. It is definitely something to do with language as it was being reported with Hebrew, Arabic and Chinese characters. It is to do with Unicode characters and is probably network rather than phone related. It has also been reported on other makes of phone. See this thread

After upgrading to Yosemite I cannot download updates and the icons are not question marks.

I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, I cannot download any updates for apps and cannot purchase apps. When I go to the app store all the icons are have question marks in them. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem?

Repair permissions & restart your comp.

In Launchpad, many icons are simply question marks

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and I'm trying to get into the habit of using Launchpad to open applications instead of of the Finder. When I launch Launchpad, many of the icons are translucent question marks instead of an actual icon...the application name is still listed below the quasi-icon. What gives? Oddly, some of the ghost icons are for applications that are native to my iMac...like QT player, GarageBand, Calculator, iPhoto etc. There are 8 pages of applications and many of them are repeats.
I'm wondering where Launchpad goes to find the listed apps...if I knew I cold possibly remove some duplicates.
Also, when I try to open many of the applications, nothing happens...the application doesn't open. Also launchpad stays active as opposed to going back to my desktop (which is what happens when I click on an empty space). It's as if I haven't clicked anything at all.
If anyone has some idea how to pear down my bundle of applications, let me know.
Thanks.

You could try having LaunchPad rebuild its database, as detailed in this article:

Specifically, paste this into a Terminal window:
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ; killall Dock

Why are their question marks on my iWeb page borders?

Hopefully this is an easy one that has been answered, but I can't find any postings. Anyone know why suddenly the borders around pages, text and pictures are now clear/white with question marks in them? We have changed nothing, though this does (coincidently or not) coincide with the .mac to .me transition.
Any help is appreciated.

Well, I seem to be having the same problems. I have question marks for album covers and picture frames. Also, I can't get slideshows to play. All I get is a black screen. Going back in to republish, there are no options to play slideshow. I can't imagine remaking my whole website over, just to maybe find that it still doesn't work. It seems like a glitch that should be resolved by Apple. If they can't fix it, I'd rather find another place to publish it, so that I'll know it's got a chance of working.
I couldn't even send feedback to apple this morning. They must be getting a lot of complaints.
The problem seems to be on them, and I don't feel like it's right to suffer the inconvenience, or have to remake the whole site over. I hope they'll come thru with a fix for this and make things right.
Am I the only one who's had a problem contacting feedback?

Why Are there question marks in my dock that says iphoto, imovie and imovie hd after resetting my dock?

My iBook G4 used to belong to my mums friend. After having it and using it for 2 years, I did a dock reset. Now There are question marks saying iphoto, imovie and imovie hd. I don't have the installation disk with me so how do I get these apps back?

Do you know which versions they were? Sometimes they came on an iLife disc; sometimes on an Applications disc or Restore disc with the original software package that came with the iBook when it was new.
Doing a Dock reset would not have removed these applications from the Applications folder.
If they are no longer in the Applications folder, you will have to reinstall them from a disc.
Which exact iBook model is it?

Dear Ralph

Are all questions that I ask Siri stored on Apple's servers

I've said some pretty interesting questions. I was wondering if I could ever get the answers and the questions I've asked.

Yes. If the conversation isn't on your phone, you can try turning iMessage off, then back on. Your conversations should reappear when you sign back in.

I used to have icons for my two printers in my dock. Now there are only question marks. How do I get the icons back?

How do I get my printer icons back on my dock? I went to System Preferences and tried to drag the pix of the printer to the dock. Would not work. No icon in Applications to use.

I just tried something. I printed a page from my printer; printer icon showed up in dock. I quickly right clicked on the icon and selected Options/Keep in Dock. Now my icons are back.

Why are blue questions marks coming up where images should be in Mail, and in Safari.

I have reset safari and my wifi? I have a iMac if that helps. IF you have any idea please help me.

For Mail. From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Viewing tab.
Select: Display remote images in HTML messages
For Safari. If you see Develop in your Safari menu bar between Bookmarks and Window, click Develop.
If Disable Images is checked, click there once to uncheck.

solved the problem itself by reloading the CD

Links replaced with question marks

I have two songs I placed on my site. I noticed tonight that the links are not there and instead there are two question marks.
So, I uploaded the site again and still there are question marks. Then I looked at the index folder on my desktop and the links are right and good there.
Everything else on the site seems fine.
I use Transmit and have never had any problem until now. I can only assume that something weird and wrong is happening in the ftp process. Right? I went back after uploading the whole site and replaced just the two folders for that page, with no change in the result.
I also emptied the cache in case I was looking at an old version of the page.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate them. This is not urgent, the songs are mainly there for fun and diversion. Still, I'd like them to get back up.
The url for that page is: http://www.pantherpeakbindery.com/Club19.html

Here's where I am with this:
In Safari (both my iBook and my wife's Powerbook) I get question marks where the songs should be.
On two PCs at work, using IE, I get a Quicktime logo which cannot be activated.
Using Firefox on a Mac I get the songs right away. Using Firefox on my office PC I get a Quicktime application warning, though the songs will play.
Was there some upgrade to Quicktime which might be behind all of this?
I'd appreciate any ideas. Thanks!

Some math elements appear as question marks in equations - FM9/Win7Pro

Hello everyone,
I am facing the issue that some math elements appear as question marks in equations; for example, the summation and angle symbols.
The approximately equal or the alpha symbols, for example, appear correctly.
The symbol font is installed.
System specs:
FrameMaker 9 with the latest patches installed.
Windows 7 Professional with the latest updates installed.
The strange thing is that math elements appear correctly using virtual computers on my computer (Windows XP and Windows 7 Ultimate on VMWare).
Same maker.ini file and fonts are present on all (real and virtual) computers.
I have reinstalled FrameMaker already on my real computer (where I have the trouble) and it did not solve the issue.
I have checked (I think) all question mark related topics (when question marks are displayed instead of the correct characters) on this site, but none of them provided the solution to my problem.
I would appreciate your help!
Thanks,
András

Hi Sheila,
Thank you for your response.
I use Adobe PDF as the default printer on both the real and virtual computers and I do not know the SetPrint utility.
I see the question marks appear in the FM files as well as in the printed PDF. It makes me think it is not a printing issue.
c:\windows\fonts is provided as the Font Source in the Embedding box for the Adobe PDF printer both on my real computer and my virtual one.
The SymbolMT font is listed in both cases in the Embedding box, which is (probably) referred to as Symbol Regular when I open the c:\windows\fonts folder using Windows Explorer. No other symbol fonts seem to be installed in this folder. I do not know how to check what other folders FM considers.
By the way, I can insert the summation character, for example, as a simple character using the Equations editor correctly, the problem comes when I try to insert it as a math element.
I have attached an example screenshot.
Thanks,
András

When I write in hebrew from right to left the periods/quotation marks/question marks at end of sentences jump to the beginning of the sentence. help

I cannot seem to format a message correctly when I write in hebrew from right to left
even if I press left margin and the message starts from the left side, all question marks, and end of sentences (periods, etc) jump to the front of the sentence and quotation marks or separation marks (such as dashes) split up the lines and jump words to the front of the sentence.
how can I change the formatting to solve this so the recipient receives a properly formatted email?

are you using in bidi add-on?

Question marks at top of folder when opened

I am trying to help a friend with his computer, he is completely computer helpless so am trying to see if I can solve his problem. He has a canon ip6700d printer. just recently it stopped printing. when the icon of the printer is on the dock, there is a red exclamation point next to it. I downloaded the print driver from Canon's site, installed it and the printer worked again, next day he called me, said he made about 6 prints and the same problem re appeared. I noticed when he opens up a folder that right under the name of the folder, there are 2 question marks there, does anyone know what this means?
thanks

John,
Before you installed the new Canon driver did you delete the old settings in System Preferences > Print & Fax?
Before that did you open the print queue and clear out all pending print jobs?
Did you try to Resume or +Start Jobs+ in the print queue?
One more question, what folders?
