Character Palette Not Working

I have the options in my International - Input Menu to show the character palette in the menubar. However, when I click on it nothing happens. I have tried all the suggestions I have found on these forums to make it appear, but nothing has worked. (Which has resulted in no longer having a .plist item for the palette, or any of the items in Library > Caches).
It almost seems like I no longer have a character palette to make appear anyway. But then why would I still have the option for it in the Input Menu?
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Would it matter if the character palette shows up in the Components of the system (System/Library/Components), but not under my admin user (user/Library/Components)?
I don't know. There's no Components directory in my home Library and the one in the root-level library is empty, whereas /System/Library/Components/ is full.
If you want to resolve the conflict/corruption in the original admin account, you'll have to do something like this:
While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

InDesign Palettes not working

Hello fellow graphic junkies,
I have a big problem. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5 on windows 7 and have been using it just fine for a long time now. Just today it started having problems. When I open a file everything looks correct and works fine, until I try to push a button on any of the palettes or control panel. The palette titles; ie. Pages, Layers, Links can all be pushed to open up the palette however the buttons in the palette do not work. In fact the weirdest part is that the buttons on the control panel can be pressed but they are off by inches, so I try to change the kerning and the font menu drops down instead however only the control panel buttons and cursor buttons can be pushed. Everything else works, dragging images, writing new copy, drop down menus like File and Edit, clicking cursors or gradients from the cursor palette. I have updated it, re-installed it, and nothing is working. Could this be a plug-in problem with Suitcase Fusion? Is it something crazy like Java or an error with windows itself?
some of my specs are :
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.8 GHz
4GB Ram
64 bit Windows 7
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Sorry I don't really know what else you would need. Thank you for your help!

Is it this?: InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)

TOC link with a subscript character does not work in PDF

Hi,
has anyone come across with this? A heading has a subscript character and when you generate a PDF, the TOC page has no link. Other TOC heading links work out just fine, but all these that have subscript, these do not.
I have used Save As PDF and selected even create named destinations for all Paragraphs. Usually the TOC works fine even if that is not selected. A link with subscript does not work in either case.
I appreciate any help with this, thanks

> The link is always terminated before any change in the character format. That's not a bug.
In user-authored manually-created hypertext links, sure. And in that case, we know that we have to re-apply the Marker to the various fragments of the desired text. I would not expect this behavior for a generated file where we have limited control over the auto-tagging.
> Therefore if you have subscript or superscript applied, the link starts at the beginning of the paragraph and ends before the character format change (sub-/superscript).
It's not just format changes in body <$paratext> that break this. If you so much as apply a different format to the elements on the TOC Reference Page TOC (such as making the page number a different font), that breaks the HT of the page number in the PDF.
> As far as I know Rick Quatro offers a FrameScript script for this problem.
Well, Adobe might consider this to be an Enhancement Request item, but I consider it to be a defect.
Is there anyone who would object if the TOC entries had functional full-string HT links by default? If so, Adobe could fix the problem, and have an Update tickbox to revert to legacy broken behavior.
In any case, the Unicode solution is not really a "work-around", even though I put it that way. For anything where Unicode has a glyph that you would otherwise implement as FrameRoman with a Character Format, use Unicode.

Spry textarea character count not working in IE9

Hi.
I'm using DW CS5 for a ColdFusion form with a textarea field. The spry character count works in every browser but IE9. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

This feature will not work in IE9 and IE10.
The problem is two-fold
a) The Copyright notice shows 2006 as the last Spry update. This was around the time of IE7
b) Microsoft tends to go off on a tangent where every release of IE behaves differently
As always, we are in the hands of the Adobes and Microsofts.

Special character key not working

None of the special character key is working properly. More over character which are to be used by SHIFT key are also not working correctly.

I am using OS X 10.9.3 and Pages v5.2 and a double-click with the Magic Mouse, or a double-tap with the Magic Trackpad will definitely insert the special character of choice at the previous cursor location in Pages v5.2, or within TextEdit. You must first establish application document focus (click in it) before the double-click/tap action.
I can double-click/tap special characters and have them insert into form text and text area fields on a web page in Safari.

Keyboard character does not work - cant enter password to log in

I have a new Blackberry curve. Unfortunately the e key is not working (possibly after condensation forming on the device).
Luckily my password does not contain e
Unluckily I entered the password incorrectly. And now I have to "enter BlackbErry to continue"
Unfortunately I cant type the E.
Any way of figuring a way to get round this, either by getting the E to work, or by circumventing the "BlackbErry to continue " check? Thanks

hello bbnnl,
first of all, what is the model you have? I see in your profile is displayed "curve 8290", which does not exists.
Please edit your profile here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/user/myprofilepage/tab/personal-profile%3Apersonal-info
Otherwise it is harder for us to help you.
secondly, if you suspect water condensation on your device, I advise you to immediately remove the battery and dry your device for at least 48H in a bag of dry rice.
I realize my message arrives too late.
How are things doing for your device now?

Character restrict not working

Hi, I'm trying to restrict the characters in my input text
field to digits only (0-9) -- it's an age restriction. But for some
reason it's not working. Here is my code:
var age = "";
ageRestrict = function () {
age.restrict = "0-9";
ageRestrict();
Also, if I don't use var age = ""; it will say undefined when
I publisht he movie. Why is that?
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks
A
Text

If you read the Flash help about the restrict property, it's
a property
of a TextField -- i.e. not of a variable and not of the
textfield's
"variable" property.
What is the instance name of your input textfield? The
restriction
should be as simple as:
myInputTFInstanceName.restrict = "0-9"

Why is the shortcut for highlighting the font selection field in the Character panel not working?

I'm trying to use Illustrator CC (instead of CS6)...
In AI CS6, pressing Command+Shift+Option+F on the keyboard, while text is active, hilights the Font Field in the Character Panel... not so in AI CC.
I can open CS6 on the same file and it works... Open AI CC and no result.

Don't have CC

Character Styles Not Working

Hello all,
Never have I been as exasperated with a piece of software as
I am with RH 7. I've sworn by Adobe products before but this has
been a tremendous letdown. Grumbling out of the way, I need to ask
for some help.
I've been able to define and apply paragraph styles
successfully for FM books that I'm importing into RH. I did that
according to the direction given by the online presentation
provided by Adobe (that is, I've defined everything in the
fmstyles.css with a dummy file, etc.).
The problem is that my character style of bold, defined and
properly mapped, is not being rendered in the output. What is
behind this? Could someone provide some insight?
I dumped variables, because I found they were being converted
into bullets. I don't see conditional text working and the
auto-numbering is a joke...I don't believe there's a single person
out there that's able to get it to work without manipulating the FM
files or working the HTML files in RH.
I don't want to solve all these problems. I've spent too much
time as it is trying to get some kind of usable output.
I just want to know why I can't rely on the character style
I've defined.
(This was an awful rant. Forgive me.)
Cheryl

Just to add one thing here, which I find even more
perplexing. I am using the dummy file and have applied the
fmstyles.css to it. I understand see that Paragraph Styles are
applied correctly in the rest of the topic (the rest of the FM book
files).
If my Paragraph Styles are working, then I have to assume I
am correctly defining in fmstyles.css and correctly mapping from FM
to RH. Strangely, when I copy and paste text from one of those FM
book files into the dummy file, my Character Styles appear
correctly.
What am I missing?? Why does my Character Style work in the
dummy file but not in the rest of the book/topic?
Any help would be appreciated...

Please suggest.

The wildcard % character is not working

It's been about 4 or 5 years since I have used Oracle so please be patient with my questions (out of the field but now I'm back). For instance, when I select emp% using the % character it Oracle is treating it as a regular character and returning no rows. Do I have to update a table to identify the wildcard character? I seem to have forgotten how to do this

Do you use LIKE operator or just simply equivalence (=)?
E.g. should be something like
SELECT *
FROM blahh
WHERE blahhhh LIKE 'emp%'Also remember that Oracle data are CASE SENSITIVE i.e. 'EMP' is not the same as 'emp'.

UTF-8 character encoding not working in Firefox

I have a jPlayer playlist that works fine in all browsers except Firefox.
The issue is with non-standard characters, i.e. characters with accents or asian characters. I have set up a demo playlist so that you can see [http://monthlymixup.com/mixups/july_2012/index.php here].
When I enter the characters in UTF-8 form (track 1 in the playlist) they work on all browsers except for Firefox, and when I enter them in ISO Latin 1 (track 2 in the playlist) they work in Firefox but no other browsers.
So, for instance in Firefox å¤§å°æ¸æ¿.mp3 works, whereas 大地書房.mp3 doesn't.
There is a meta tag for UTF-8 on the demo page, i.e.
My understanding is that Firefox overwrites this with the response header if a default encoding isn't set in FF. I have however set UTF-8 to be the default encoder and I have checked that the page is using UTF-8 by going to Tools/Page Info (I am on a Mac and I believe this is the way to check the encoding on the page).
So, I'm at a loss as to what is going on, and would be glad of some help.

No time to register at the moment...
Are you specifying the titles and file names in your JavaScript code as on this jPlayer demo page? http://jplayer.org/latest/demo-02/

Character palette not showing type preview – CS5.5 (Mac)

Hello, I had a problem that appeared literally out of nowhere with Illustrator CS5.5 on the Mac – I've been running 10.9.5 without issue until now when the contextual menu that usually shows a preview of the fonts available stopped showing all but two or three previews (attached an image to show the issue). I tried re-installing Illustrator which didn't make any difference, I then tried going to Illustrator > Preferences > Type and in the options there turned "Font Preview" off. The list of fonts then re-appeared but disappeared when that options was turned back on. I then tried altering the Font Preview size to small and that finally brought back the proper font previews in the contextual menu. They were also present when the large option, however they will not appear with medium selected as the font preview size. I then closed Illustrator, and trashed the preferences by holding down Command, Shift, Option and Control when starting Illustrator backup. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue or similar, but hopefully it'll help what can be a frustrating glitch!

This is a problem on Mac OS. Go to System Preferences/Accessibility/Display and check the box that says Reduce Transparency.

Captivate 7 character/actors not working

I recently upgraded from the trial version of Captivate 6 to a purchased version of Captivate 7 for Mac. I'm having a problem with inserting character/actors into my presentation. Thank-you Rod for the previous suggestion that I hadn't downloaded the assets when I downloaded the program. I did this and made it a little further. Now when I click on "Insert" and "Characters", I get a box with the category of character selection window (business, casual, etc), but no actual figures. I pushed OK thinking that they would pop up but only got the spinning beachball of death. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Rick, Yes, I have...several times. The program has actually locked up several times over the issue and
I've had to reboot the whole computer..and I made sure that I closed Captivate and reopened it. When I push Insert and Characters, it opens the Characters window as shown below, but when I push OK, I get the spinning beachball.
