How to fix wrong currency symbol and placement of it?

Hello
I'm setting up a re-install of Lion after the 10.7.5 update killed it, and Mountain Lion turned out to be a battery-killer.
I'm trying to setup the formatting of digits, time and currency in System Preferences, but I cannot see how I can fix the incorrect way it wants to display the Danish currency symbol.
In Denmark, our currency symbol is either "kr." (short for "kroner") or "DKK" and it's a suffix preceded by a space. Microsoft has always gotten this partly wrong, chosing the right symbol ("kr."), but prefixing it. It's always been easy to fix, though.
On my Mac, the system wants the symbol to be "Dkr" (which is definitely not correct in any way), it wants to prefix it, and it wants to glue it directly on to the amount, not even adding a space, i.e.
"Dkr1.000,00"
The correct notation is,
"1.000,00 kr."
I can't find any GUI way to fix it, but I know there are tons of settings hidden that you can set using a terminal. Just have no clue if this is one of those, and how to do it if so.
Is it, and how?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

About my issues with Mountain Lion, the only third-party apps I had installed were Chrome (first thing I do is get a proper browser so that I can finish setting up things), iTerm2 (need a proper terminal to fiddle with settings and do things on my server via ssh), and Spotify (to listen to stuff while settings up things).
Are Safari, Terminal, and iTunes somehow "improper"?
Actually, I was refering more to system modifications. My EtreCheck tool is designed to list those because people sometimes forget about software that only runs in the background.
Sure, there may be some workarounds to get things better with ML, but seriously, I'm not paid to be a beta-tester, and if at 10.8.2 it still can't perform properly, I'm not going to be the one working 24/7 to get my laptop regain the lost 50% battery life if I can just wipe the crap and revert to Lion.
I am a paid beta tester and developer, just not for Apple. I can assure you there are no significant issues with 10.8.2. There are some poorly-coded 3rd party software that doesn't work well on Mountain Lion. Sometimes developers take short cuts just to get something working and never fix it to work "properly" because, technically, it isn't broken - until the next operating system version comes out that is.
When Lion was released people were also falling over themselves to reinstall Snow Leopard for the same reasons. You can search for old posts from myself and others who said Lion was fine (as Mountain Lion is) and accurately predicted that people would, in due time, be falling over themselves to reinstall Lion.
This morning, after having reinstalled Lion, I fired up Chrome with my local radio station in Flash, playing news while I prepared coffe and cereal, keyboard backlight constantly on (as I hadn't yet set up anything (I always set a 5-second timeout)), the screen at 50%. Remaining battery life was 7h30m. Same setup with ML was pretty much exactly half that.
Chome, espeically with Flash, is known to have problems in Mountain Lion. I suggest using Safari and the ClickToFlash extension. That way, you get a very similar browser that will first try modern HTML5 methods for streaming that media and only fall back to Flash if necessary. Even without Chrome, Flash is a total CPU and battery hog.

I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fualt lies at my end or at the other end

I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fault lies at my end or at the other end

If only the language is Hebrew, you should correct it in the Paragraph and Character Styles.
But in such a case I would expect more problems.
If you are a creative cloud subscriber you should additionally install the InDesign version, English with Hebrew support:
Go to the preferences of you CC.app. It is found behind the Gear Symbols on the top right.
When the preferences open, go to the Apps section.
Change the App Language to English with Hebrew support.
Now you can install it. It will install on the very same place where your InDesign program is found some additional plugins, which will give you access to Hebrew functionality, like RTL text. Otherwise you will inherit in the document (and where you copy and paste it from such a document into another one). But now you can change or repair problems.
Now repeatstep 1 + 2, but you need not to install your own language again. InDesign will now, when started, run in the language of your OS (when you have it installed in that language) but with more functionality to handle problems with Hebrew documents.
The same steps you would have to do with Arabic or Asian documents. These languages will also add more plugins. But keep it limitted to those language you need. I have installed it that way, because I get sometime documen where the text flows the wrong direction or the numbers come up in Farsi digit, not in Arabic digits. For such purposes I need versions in languages I don’t understand myself.

How can i print currency symbol in smart form?

how can i print currency symbol in smart form?
i want to print the currency symbol with grant total based on the vendor currency.
pls hepl............

Hi,
think You can't print the symbols for currency like $ and Pound etc
see this doc if needed
A variable in SAPscript is called a symbol. There are the following types.
System symbol (e.g. the number of the current page)
Standard symbol (usable in any document)
Program symbol (value from the print program)
Text symbol (local variable)
The value of a symbol is text for using within SAPscript code and is represented by the symbol-name enclosed by ampersands. On seeing the tell-tale ampersands in SAPscript code, you sometimes need to figure out the symbol type.
goto any PAGEWINDOW's Text elements in Script (SE71)
from the Menu-> INSERT-> Symbols
you find all symbols here
System symbols
System symbols in a SAPscript form are comparable to system fields like SY-UZEIT in an ABAP program, and include these. The graphical editor offers three types of system symbol.
1. General system symbols
See the table TTSXY. PAGE is the most widely used. The list given in our BC460 training manuals is out of date.
2. SAPscript system symbols
See the dictionary structure SAPSCRIPT. SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES is the most widely used.
3. ABAP system symbols
For the ABAP system field SY-UNAME, say, the symbol is SYST-UNAME. http://SYST is the dictionary structure for ABAP system fields.
Sample code:
User: &SYST-UNAME&
Page &PAGE& of &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(C3)&
Standard symbols
Standard symbols are maintained centrally (in the table TTDTG via transaction SE75) for use in any document. Menu path:
Tools
Form Printout
Administration
Settings
Some standard symbols are SAP-standard and others are custom. Curiously, table TTDTG is cross-client although SAPscript forms are not.
The value of a standard symbol has to be defined for each language used. This gives a way to make a single SAPscript form multi-lingual.
We can take advantage to an extent of the central maintenance, though there is no guarantee that the available standard symbols will used in every appropriate context.
Standard symbols complicate searching a SAPscript form, since text like Charity registration 211581 may be hiding in a standard symbol.
Text symbols
A text symbol is declared and assigned to within the SAPscript code, and so obviously applies only to the current document. The command DEFINE is used, requiring /: in the tag column, as in the following examples.
/: DEFINE &COMP_NAME& = University of Warwick
/: DEFINE &WS_RATE& = &TAX_SUMM_C&

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Make sure that y do not leave any foreign material or leave anything in the jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Pound (currency) symbol, and Euro symbol on invoice template.

Hi - I have written an invoice using one of the pages templates. I changed the Euro symbol (€) to a pound symbol (£) but every time it is automatically changed back to pound symbol again. Having entered the pound symbol. how can I make it stay there?

Hi there - Thanks, but I've got it sorted - I had to select a cell within the invoice template, then click on Table Inspector, then format, then currency, then select currency. I would prefer to just delete the currency symbols with the mouse, and then put in the ones I want, but I know how to do it now. Maybe Britain should just join the Euro - or maybe not?

How to remove a MovieClip symbol and stop it?

I manually create a movieclip symbol and given instance name "Ball" on stage (not new MovieClip in AS), and it contained 20 frames animation, but after when I click a button to remove it "removeChild(Ball);", I don't know why it still running? although I can add a "stop()" code on 20 frame to stop it, but I don't think that is a good solution.
I try to remove its Event.ENTER_FRAME, but I don't know how to do it? because I don't know its event function name.
Could anyone explain it?

I believe that in order to fully destroy a MovieClip (and allow it to be garbage collected) there must be no references to it, and it can't be doing anything.
Here's what I tried:
mcBall.stop();
removeChild(mcBall);
mcBall = null;
I believe that destroyed the MovieClip. Can anyone else confirm this?

How to FIX your iPhone 3G and iOS4 PROBLEMS!

Does anyone know how to fix my crippled iPhone 3G after I updated to 4.0.1?

The only way to go back to the old software has been described for you. It is not officially sanctioned by Apple. They do not provide a way to go back to former software. There is not currently a fix in iTunes, as the only thing iTunes does is provide a conduit for you to update firmware.
As provided before, Apple is addressing the issues with 3G and 3GS phones running slow with iOS4. According to developers with access to the iOS4.1 beta, it has been addressed there. You will have to either try the Genius bar as suggested, and I understand the distance issue, or you will have to wait for iOS4.1 to be released. If a restore as a new phone and a DFU restore do not work, then I'm not aware of any other alternative except what was provided above.
Edit: You might try and delete the iOS that you have on the computer and let iTunes download a brand new one. That might help.

Help with currency symbols and notation

Hello, I need to use a simple Dollar Sign '$' for a couple of documents I'm working on.
But when I set the format of the table to 'currency' it always displays the leading US before the $.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

I saw your similar post in the pre-'08 Pages forum & Dennis' response. Perhaps it would help if you told us what language your system & Pages are set for & what keyboard layout you are using.

How to KILL the Criminals::Faces and Places ???

I hate Faces and Places. They both are useless to me and for many others, and only terribly slowing down iPhoto. I wish I could kill both of them...
Any way to do that ?

For Places just ignore it and in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane set Look up Places to "Never".
For Faces just ignore it as Terence suggested. However, there is a way to disable some of the Faces features so it does not create face files and increase the size of the library. After making a temporary backup copy of your iPhoto LIbrary try the following:
1 - open the library like this.
2 - in the Database folder move this file to the Trash: Faces.db.
3 - close the package/folder and launch iPhoto. Close it after a moment.
4 - open the package, find the new version of the file and lock it via the Info window for the file.
Click to view full size
5 - while viewing the contents of the package type Command+F to start a search.
6 - set the criteria of the search to: Kind is Image and Name Contains "face".
7 - select all of the files in the search results window and drag to the Trash.
8 -close the package and launch iPhoto.
You will get the faces spinning wheel as it tries to index the library the first time it's opened but it won't be able to write to the database file if you should try to add a face and won't create any new jpeg faces files.
Of course make a backup of your library before trying this and no guarantee implied.
