Chinese song titles don't appear when copied from iTunes Mac to XP

Hi all,
I've tried googling the answer to this but can't seem to find the answer so wondered if anyone can help me. Please?
I use a G4 MacMini at home running 10.4.11 and iTunes 9x and keep all my music on an external hard drive. I want to play my music using ITunes 10x on my PC at work running XP SP3. I need to reformat my iPod on the PC anyway cos at the moment it won't as it was originally formatted on my Mac.
I've copied my iTunes Library and my music files to an external hard drive and am using MacDrive so that I can copy them on to my PC, however I've noticed that the titles of the 20 or so Chinese albums I have don't appear. They appear as underscores not squares. The artists names appear ok but not the song titles.
I've installed the East Asian language pack in the Control Panel on the PC. On the Advanced tab, the Language for non-Unicode programs is set to English (UK) and the Code page conversion tables is set to 10002 (Mac - Traditional chinese Big5).
Is there anything else I should have done?
The Chinese song titles would have been imported automatically when I ripped them off CDs on the Mac.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Changes made on iPod don't appear when connected to iTunes

Long story short, iTunes doesn't like it when I make changes through my iPod, and tries to "fix" them.
If I delete a song or make changes to a playlist through the iPod itself, that change doesn't show up in iTunes. Deleted songs will be unplayable, but still appear. Newly created playlists may or may not appear. Deleted playlists are still there. Songs added to a playlist don't appear in the playlist, songs deleted from a playlist still appear in the playlist.
If I make a change to my iPod through iTunes itself, it reflects that change on my iPod, but also reverts any changes I've made through the iPod (so, if I remove a song from a playlist through my iPod, then connect to iTunes and remove a song from a playlist through iTunes, the song I removed through iTunes will be removed from my iPod, but the song I removed through my iPod will reappear). It will also occasionally re-load songs I've deleted entirely, though they'll be greyed out and unplayable.
As you may imagine, this is really annoying.
I have all types of automatic syncing turned off, and I don't store any music in iTunes itself once it's been put on my iPod.
I just want iTunes to show me what is on my iPod right now, and not revert back to whatever image it seems to have stored of my iPod when I try to make changes through iTunes. Does anyone have a fix for this?

When charging from a wall socket the iPod does not show the battery charging or the flash indicator in the charge level icon . Both these do appear when charging from my Mac. Is this normal?

When charging from a wall socket with a mac recommended charger, the battery icon in the top right hand corner does not show the flash sign and the running battery level is also not shown . Is this the normal situation?

Hi,
so when you hold the menu+select buttons it won't reset - show the apple logo?
If you can get the apple logo to show, then press the select and play buttons to put it into disk mode.
What happens when you connect it to the computer? Sometimes, you can see the ipod in disk management if you open itunes before connecting the ipod. Once itunes is open, select Edit/preferences. This will keep itunes busy so that you can read the ipod in disk managment.

Artwork Missing when copying from ITunes Media Folder (iTunes 9.2)

After updating to iTunes 9.2, whenever I wanted to copy one song with Artwork to another folder, the artwork is missing as it did not copy anymore. Even if I look at the Preview window, there is no artwork.
The original song inside my Itunes Media Folder still has the artwork.
This can't be normal. Is there anyway to fix this?

This is a much larger problem with 9.2 corrupting the finder. Check out these following posts on this and other sites:

They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

Copy all the contents currently on your iPod Classic to your new iTunes library and then choose the Erase and Sync option. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Chinese song titles

i just switched to Mac and i used to store all my songs in a external hard drive i used on my PC. and the chinese song titles worked just fine on the iTunes on PC but yesterday i pluged my external harddrive into my Mac and imported them into the iTunes library, and some, actually most of the chinese song title turned into codes. I know i can sure fix this but i don't know which setting in international should i change to solve this problem, please help! thank you.
p.s. it'd be great if i don't have to make tranditional chinese my language for my computer, i just want itunes to show chinese song titles. thanks!

The ID3 tags on your songs probably don't have quite the right encoding for the Mac. See this note for some info:

In my Ameritrade account the sub-header titles don't work when selected.

In my Ameritrade account the sub-header titles don't work when selected. Is it maybe an add on or the beta version 14.01a of firefox or something else?
I can't give the address as it is a confidential site, sorry. But for example when you pick trade and try to select buy or sell tab it does nothing. I tried downloading the lastest beta version 14.01a which I like to use but this didn't help? Thank you.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Certain web forms have formatting options like those found in Microsoft Word. They don't appear when I use Firefox, but do with IE of course. Is there a way to get it to display?

That formatting feature for text areas is known as Rich Text editing. Easy to enable on the web page with one line of code to tap into the Midas package that Mozilla uses, but the users can't enable it themselves from within Firefox.
