@juan0215 ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. The first thing you are going to have to do is find a way of backing up your data from your hard drive.
Once you have done that then you will want to do a full system recovery. This is only if this problem exist in safe mode as well as in normal operations.
Here is a link to help you boot into safe mode.

If you are still having the problem in Safe Mode then you will have to back up your data the best you can and do the system recovery. This will take you back to the systems original configuration.

I have been having issues with my iCloud email on my iMac. For some time period, everyday, it won't reload and often shows symbols instead of letters for the text. Any ideas how to solve?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

JSPX Design View shows 'boxes' instead of WYSIWYG

For a particular project I've just created to examine/try some custom JSF tags, when I edit mypage.jspx file, I get a display of nested boxes instead of a WYSIWYG view of the mypage.jspx page.
This does not happen in a similar project that I've already completed & can display a .jspx from that project in a window next to the one displaying the boxes for mypage.jspx.
Any ideas how to get it to display correctly?
The code of the page that doesn't display correctly is below:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0"

Edit: 10/30 - Code Formatting

Doing this showed me that I was missing a library - JSTL.
I added the JSTL 1.2 library, then closed and re-opened the .jspx and am seeing the page correctly.
I am still getting an error when loading one of the 2 pages in the project. In this case an ADF/JSF only page. The page does display properly, but I get an error message in the log.
The error is:
Error in f:view.doEndTag while servicing /faces/results.jspx.

PDF shows boxes (squares) in Reader but not in Acrobat

When opening certain PDF files in Adobe Reader it shows boxes/squares at the end of some lines (see attached jpg file).

I checked the fonts, but these seem to be normal.
Does anyone has any idea how to solve this or where this problem comes from?
Any ideas are welcome...

I do not know how you created the PDF. You might try going back and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Open AA6 and then select the file that way. Does this work?

Java applet shows boxes instead of text

I'm helping a friend with a new PC. He likes to work the crosswords at washingtonpost.com, which are embedded java applets. For what ever reason, all the clues just show up as boxes where the text should be. This screen shot should help:
http://members.cox.net/rtadams89/screen.png
As you can see, all the "clues", and the crossword title just show boxes where letters should be. Other text (that which you type into the crossword) as well as text in java apps on other sites shows up fine. I've tried reinstalling the java run time environment, as well as clearing the browser files and checking internet explorer settings. Any other suggestions?

I'm still not having any luck with this. I've reinstalled Java, and also check the internet explorer settings. Nothing seems to be wrong as other sites work just fine. Could this be a missing font issue?

My Iphone 5 keyboard is showing squares instead of letters

My Iphone 5 keyboard is suddenly showing squares instead of letters

You may need to restore iOS.
Backup your iPhone.
Connect it to iTunes on your computer and restore. This will redownload (if necessary) and reinstall iOS.
After it finishes try restoring from your backup. If the problem still exists, try resoring again as a new device (not from a backup) as the problem may have been included in the backup.

Asha 305 shows Squares instead of letters in game...

Hello there. After the 7.42 update on my Asha 305 (previous one was 7.35 and everything worked fine), my pre-installed games( Solitaire-golf tour-memorize etc) stopped showing the letters in game menus. Instead, there are squares that look like this [][][][][]. This happens to me after the update to 7.42 and when the mobile phone language is Greek and not English(however, on 7.35 the game menu letters were fine and not [][][][], although the phone language was also Greek.. Any troubleshooting would be gratefully appreciated.

Can you tell us the language that the games were using before this issue happened? Normally, squares will show if the phone does not support the language of the apps or games.
If you have verified that the language of the apps or games are supported by the phone, you can try to reinstall your phone's software via Nokia Suite. Follow these steps:
1. Connect your phone to your PC via USB.
2. Open Nokia Suite and then go to Tools > Software updates.
3. Click "Reinstall software version" link and then follow the on screen instructions.

I do not know what patch would fix this specific issue but you may refer to these docs.

I have A's in boxes instead of letters in mail and web pages

What can I do to correct this?

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Creating a PDF from a SAAS app creates boxes instead of Japanese characters

I'm using an online app (Unleashed Software) to "print" invoices, and the printed invoices show boxes instead of Japanese characters. The really weird thing about this problem, is that it occurs only on certain devices. I've tested on Macs, Windows, Android, and iOS, and on some devices I get the problem, and on some devices I don't. It's not just a Windows problem, or a iOS problem. Additionally, I use different browsers, from Chrome, to IE, to Firefox, to Safari. Changing the browser doesn't seem to help when it's on a device that won't output Japanese characters in a PDF properly.
I'm wondering how PDFs are generated when using online software. Since I can't reproduce the problem on certain devices, it seems to me that the software is using some local settings to render the PDF incorrectly.
Any ideas of how I could go about troubleshooting this problem?

Hi,
Could you please answer the following questions
1.What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Go to Help-> About to find out.
2.What is the font you are using on the report?
Try to change the font style to MS Gothic or Arial Unicode MS, most preferably MS Gothic.
And export the report to PDF format.
This may help you

Square boxes instead of Japanese characters in pdf output of a crystal rep

Hi All,
Did anyone of you ever faced such an issue, where the pdf output of a crystal report shows square boxes instead of Japanese characters when the output is saved in pdf. However the crystal report output looks perfect. I have saved the ouput in xls and rtf formats the characters look perfect as required, the issue we have is when the output is saved as pdf.
I have language pack installed on my machine.
My guess is that the few Character's width is not sufficient and few Characters in other fields appear perfect in pdf. I have to test this, it might take few days before I can access this report. Before that I want to gather information. If anyone has solution to this issue please let me know.
Thanks,
Ravi

As of yesterday I cannot download pdf files. Instead I get a pop up box that says CONVERT and gives me dozens of programs. How do I just download without this box stopping me?

i click on any pdf file and instead of it just downloading and opening automatically as it has always done - instead it shows the download box and then another pops up titled CONVERT and then gives me a million different options - word / excel / every version of every one! DOS. even if i pick one it comes up in computer language. As of 2 days ago it worked properly and in Safari or another program I can open the pdf. What's happening? HELP

You can try "Reset Download Actions"

Whenever I close and then reopen firefox all I get is boxes with numbers in them instead of letters or words I have to reboot to get back to regular firefox.

If I leave firefox open and simply minimize everything is fine if I close it and then reopen it even if right away I get the boxes with the numbers instead of letters or numbers.

Try to set the pref gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Firefox displaying little boxes of hex code instead of letters

all of a sudden firefox started displaying little boxes of numbers and letters which i suppose are hex code instead of letters for all web pages visited.

Missing icons are usually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can probably see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
