Characters such as hearts and stars won't show up on Firefox

I'm running on a Mac OS X 10.4.11 and my Firefox is 3.6.6.
When I run all my other browsers (safari, opera) I'm able to see characters such as hearts and stars on a site like facebook. Only on firefox does it not show up, it doesn't even show boxes - it's just a blank space. It's really annoying, and I've tried everything with the character encoding to no avail. Font is still set to Western ISO 8859-1. is there a font I'm missing? But that can't be because I can see it in other browsers. Please please tell me someone's encountered something like this before. I haven't found anything anywhere so far. :/
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== since I downloaded Firefox (approx. 3 years ago - only actively using now)

I've had this problem (specifically, '''& hearts ;''' ) for years.
When Firefox 3 was released I thought the upgrade from FF 2 would fix it. Nope.
I went all out today and upgraded to Firefox 6. I created a fresh, new profile in the Profile Manager. No dice.
I took the advice of those above and checked my OS X Font Book. I disabled many of the fonts that didn't validate, but some of them I use, so I'm hoping this isn't causing the issue.
Safari (see screenshot attached) and Chrome display &hearts; just fine, so why can't Firefox. Surely, some savvy open source gal/guy can figure this one out. :)

I have an audiobook that I purchased via iTunes and it won't show up on my iPad, but it's everywhere else, iPhone, iPod and computer?

I purchased an audiobook via iTunes on my phone and it won't show up on my iPad? Why?

Did you sync it to your ipad?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Are you trying to do this with your usb cable? If so, make sure you are doing it this way: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Or are you trying to use photo stream?

I am running OSX 10.5.8 and it won't show my sd cards for the new Nikon D7000 on the desktop. It will recognize them in iPhoto any ideas.

Go to: Finder Preferences and under the General tap make sure that the box for External disks is checked.

So I recently bought 3 new songs, and they won'y show up on my main iTunes Library page or under the artist, but they show up under purchased. How can I get them to show up under the artist/ main library page?

Characters such as apostrophes and smart quotes turning into boxes or question marks

We recently upgraded from CF5 to CF7 and are having a problem
with previously saved text that no longer displays correctly. Some
characters (apparently, non-ASCII characters such as curly
apostrophes and smart quotes) are rendering as boxes or question
marks. We recently upgraded to Oracle 10g from Oracle 8i, but this
problem appears to be independent of the database that the text is
stored in. Here is sample code that will illustrate the problem:
<CFSET string1="Department’s">
<CFSET string2="hey—there">
<CFOUTPUT>
string1 is #string1#
<BR>
string2 is #string2#
</CFOUTPUT>
output looks like this:
string1 is Department?s
string2 is hey?there
These are rendered as boxes when viewed in Internet Explorer.
(They show up as question marks when I copy and paste them here.)
The Demoronize UDF helps *some* of the time, but this is
still happening with a lot of text, especially text that gets
pasted from a website into a form, then saved to a database. Does
anybody have a solution for this? This is breaking my applications
and is incredibly annoying. I'd like to either replace the
problematic characters at the time they are displayed, or replace
them when they are input in the database in the first place (and go
back and update all the previously saved data to replace the
problematic characters with plain text equivalents).
Any suggestions appreciated.

I finally isolated the problematic characters so I edited the
DeMoronize UDF (available at cflib.org) by adding the following
text replacements at the bottom:
text = Replace(text, chr(8208), "-", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8209), "-", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8210), "–", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8211), "–", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8212), "—", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8213), "—", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8214), "||", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8215), "_", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8216), "‘", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8217), "’", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8218), ",", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8219), "'", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8220), "“", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8221), "”", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8222), """", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8223), """", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8226), "·", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8227), ">", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8228), ".", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8229), "..", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8230), "...", "ALL");
text = Replace(text, chr(8231), "·",
"ALL");

I have purchased music from itunes on my iphone and it won't show up in my Ipod music library on my phone. It shows up in my itunes library on my computer. This is a recent glitch as up until this week purchased music downloads fine on phone.

I purchased music on itunes on my iphone and the songs won't show up in my music library on the phone. They are on my computer itunes library but it won't let me transfer the purchases back to my phone (which I have never had to do before). Never had this problem before this week when purchasing music on my iphone.
My Itunes library on my laptop is slightly different from my Iphone library so I don't want to erase and sync the entire library.

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

IPhone 5 previously would not sync properly, now I updated to iTunes 11.1.3 and it won't show at all!

I've been having trouble getting my phone to sync. It's been a real pain... Previously, I deleted all the music off the phone and re-synced my library. I recently added some new music, and I was getting the same issue, so I tried my old trick, and it wouldn't remove the music properly. I reset the phone and the music remained (at least, it showed, but skipping through the songs, none of them played... so theoretically it removed the actual MUSIC while the song listings stayed in my 'music' app).
Poking around, I found suggestions that maybe updating to the new iTunes would fix the problem. I updated... and now, suddenly, my iPhone won't show up in iTunes at all! It was just connecting BEFORE the update, so it's definitely not the cable. I'm really not sure what to do now.
Currently restarting my computer to be sure that isn't part of the issue. Will report back, but can anyone help me in the meantime?
Edit:
Restarting the computer solved the problem of the device not showing in iTunes, but when it synced, the music was STILL messed up. Trying the remove and re-sync again.

Removed. Re-synced. Still not working. Factory reset the phone, re-installed music... made a GIANT "Other" file instead of actually adding any songs.
Factory resetting again. Any other solutions?
EDIT: If It helps, I'm doing this all over USB connection, not trying to sync music through wifi or anything.

What do I do when my iPod touch freezes and I turn it off and it won't show anything?

I looked at my Ipod touch and the screen was all white.
I pushed both of the buttons and held them like I was told to,
and it went off and won't show anything...
I don't know what to do to turn it back on....

- Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful then time for an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store.

Preloader in Captivate won't show up in Firefox (It does in IE7)

Hello
I got a problem using the preloader in Captivate.
I exported the file with a preloader (one of the Captivate preloader not one of my own). The preloader is set to 40% (but same happens using 20% and 100%)
If i have a look at the file in Internet Explorer the preloader shows shortly, then the eLearning starts. Fine.
In Mozilla Firefox (Version 3.5.1) the Preloader won't show up, problem is: In Firefox the eLearning needs a bit more time to load, so here it would be necessary to show the preloader. I just see the empty screen and then after some seconds the eeLearning starts.
I haven't found any information about this. Flashplugin is the same in both browser. (Latest 10.0.22.87)
OPERA behaves exactly like Mozilla FIrefox, no preloader is shown, longer loading times
Has anybody a solution for this?
Where is Captivate storing the Information about the preloader (Percentage, File of preloader) I can't find anything in the html file.
best regards
captiware

Hi Captiware,
I have similar problems. However, to confuse matters, it is just the other way round: My preloader works in Firefox 3 but not in IE 6!
This problem appeared only after upgrade to Captivate 4. Unfortunately not solution/explanation yet.
Best regards

. How do I fix this? It's just mine. My friends and her moms Iphones appear in both spots so it's not the cord. Help! I've tried uninstalling and redownloading Itunes. That didn't work. I've reset my iphone numerous times. Turned it off and back on. Restarted my computer. Deleted everything off of it and restored it from backup. It works on my friends computer perfectly fine but it won't work on mine. I've tried everythign that the Apple troubleshooter said to do and none of it worked. I need to get it figured out soon because I only have tonight.

I have an iPod 2nd Generation and it won't show up in iTunes

So I got a new laptop and I wante to transfer my music from my iPod onto it, so I plugged it in the new laptop. I accidentally clicked that it was okay for all of my music to be erased, which is not what I wanted to do.
Anyway, so I figured that I could just hook my iPod up to my old computer (which is a dinosaur and barely functioning) and get the music back onto my iPod. But it said to get all of it on there, I had to download the latest version of iTunes which I ha not done since probably 2008.
After I downloaded the newest version, i hooked my iPod into the comuter, and it began syncing. It had been on step one of the syncing proess all day (approx. 8 hours) and it wasnt moving, so I unhooked it, thinking something was wrong, and that I would try again.
Ever sice then, Windows would recognize that my iPod was plugged in and ask to transfer my pictures to Microsoft Word, but iTunes did not register that my iPod was plugged in..
HELP!!
thanks

It already restored on my new compuer, so now it's completely wiped.
But when I plug it into my old computer it's only registering when I put it into recovery mode, and then it won't let me recover it because of a network probem ot being secure, so it is telling me to try again later.
It says "The iPod software update server could not be contacted."

Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
"Photoshop cannot open this file.
If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06
