How can Mail of OS X Mountain Lion read Chinese Characters?

Mail cannot read Chinese characters. Message looks like a series of "??????". However, Safari can read Chinese characters. What setting can make Mail read Chinese Characters?

Normally that indicates an encoding glitch, where the email headers are not telling Mail the right encoding to use.  The first thing to try is Message > Text Encoding and see if UTF-8 or one of the various Chinese encodings give the right display.
Also go to View > Message > Raw Source and tell us what you see in the headers that say "charset=  ".

  • HT4718 How can i reinstall OS X Mountain Lion on my computer after my hard drive failed and i had a new one installed?

    I paid for Mountain Lion about 2 months ago and my Hard drive just crashed.  Is there a way i can reinstall Mountain lion without having to pay again?

    What OS did it ship with? If it was Lion, then you can use Internet Recovery to install on the new drive. IR will install the original shipping OS. You can then log into the App store and upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    If it came with Snow Leopard, you will need to install Snow Leopard from your install DVD, then upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    Depending on which model of iMac you have, you may be able to get it by going through Mac OS X 10.6(phone the Apple Store), or you may need to buy a newer computer.

  • How can I reinstall JAVA on Mountain Lion?

    The last Java Update screwed up Java on Mountain Lion. Thanks a lot, Apple. This is where blinking/flashing images etc etc start, and it also affects the three-finger word-look-up gesture. I compared my mac running Facebook in Safari with one in an AppleStore and the one in the shop renders the Java stuff flawlessly -- no blinking or flashing graphics, and the three-finger tap gesture works perfectly. Both macs were running the same version of Java, OS X and Safari.
    If I turn off Javascript and Java (in Safari) I don't get the flashing images and three-finger-tap works.
    So my question is (after reading similar threads of the same topic): IS there any one-click solution to this -- can I reinstall Java, or do I have to re-install Mountain Lion... JUST to get Java working again??!?
    And per the above.. why ISN'T there a standalone Java re-installer for OS X? How difficult could it be??

    I just found the solution, thanks to the "MORE LIKE THIS" links:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
    That's where you can download the standalone installer!! I did it, ran it, and it works. Solved all the problems I've been having.
    Thing is.... why is it hidden???

  • I installed Maverick It turns off for no reasons, makes Safari a miserable experience, and more.  How can I get back to Mountain Lion?

    Maverick is a mess, well up to MS at its best.  i installed it over Mountain Lion on a base Air that initially came with Lion.  The worst is when the screen suddenly goes blank.  After a few times, i found tha tsimpy pressing the power button brought up the welcome screen which - after the password - took me back to where I was with no loss, bu tthe first time was horrible.  Then WORD for MAC started behaving strangely, with normal operations simply not working - shading to copy or cut out, for instance.  Click again and again, no shading - then suddenly it workds!  Safari has similar issues.  So too with other software downladed earlier.  simply nothing works as well as all did under Mountain Lion.
    So, I want to deep six Maverick and get back to Mountain Lion.  I assume that if I use CONTROL R I will simply reload Maverick.  Can I download Mountain Lion from the App Store and then ???  All the copying and such - a half day lost.  Is there are easier way? 
    <Edited by Host>

    It's Command-R, not Control-R. You won't lose your files or settings if you reinstall 10.9 this way. Why don't you give that a go before reverting to 10.8.

  • How can i re-download osx mountain lion ?

    I buy it once and i dond´t want to buy it twice, but i can't get access to my account and download it again.

    Taktak59,
    if you’ve bought it already, then you need to connect to the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID as you’d used when you first bought it. You should then be able to redownload it by holding down the Option key while clicking on Purchases, and then Option-click on OS X Mountain Lion from the list of purchased apps.

  • How can i upgrade to OSX Mountain Lion other than from the app store?

    I am trying to upgrade to OSX Mountain Lion from OSX Lion but i get this message:
    "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    Further I am able to download other programs from the app store (like growl) but it does not work for Mountail Lion ????
    I looked through the forum and one post said that i have to use lion recovery to reinstall osX lion but then it defetes the objective of upgrading.
    Please help me
    Cheers

    If your system's not compatible with 10.8 and has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

  • How can I tell if my mountain lion installation failed?

    My 2007 MBP has been updating to 10.8 from 10.7 now for about 3 hours. I see an Apple logo on the main screen, the keyboard is lit, and that's it. If I put my ear up to the machine around where the HD is, I hear noise, but no seeking (not that I really ever heard any from this HD).
    Anyone know how long this can take? Should I "pull the plug" and see what happens? I have a backup I can restore from (2 actually).
    TIA

    Make sure you blow out the dust in your machine.
    Try reseating the video card (remove and reinsert).
    What kind of monitor and what kind of video card are you using?

    Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
    I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
    i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
    the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
    i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
    It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
    is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

  • Why was deleted the RSS reader in Mail on OS X Mountain Lion?

    Why was deleted the RSS reader in Mail on OS X Mountain Lion?
    How can I re-enable the RSS reader?

    All RSS Readers that I tested from MacAppStore are much worst than Mail's in Lion.
    Hate them all. I'm using blogtrottr.com to compile all RSS and send me via email. But it's flooding my mailbox. There're a bunch of them that require a Google Reader account, and I won't do that. It doesn't matter to Google which RSS I'm following.
    I wish Apple put RSS reading back to Mail. Stupid idea taking it off.

  • How to fix youtube plugin in mountain  lion ?

    how to fix youtube plugin in mountain  lion ?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
