HT1518 how do we get back to normal writing and not using unicode?

My laptop is writing in uni code and it won't go back to English someone please help its urgent!

Are you using an external keyboard at all? If so, it sounds like it needs remapping. Go to
 > System Preferences > Keyboard to set it up.
In any case, there should be a flag (national flag or some other icon) in the menubar, probably between the battery/power indicator and the volume icon. Click on it and select 'English'.
You can set up a keyboard hotkey for this, if you look in
 > System Preferences > Language & Text | Input Sources
on the right of the window you should see 'Input source shortcuts'. There should be a hotkey for
'Select previous input source' and
'Select next input source in the menu'
If the second one is greyed out, click the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' button underneath and set it up as
'option-command-spacebar'.
Now use this hotkey to toggle through to English.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is you library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • My iPod is stuck on an iCloud back up message. How do I get back to normal?

    My iPod just announced it hasn't been backed up by iCloud in 7 week. The WiFi is turned off and I can't click this message away. Pressing OK would not work. Because I can't get rid of this icon, I cannot go back in the menu or switch my iPod off or use anything else. Any ideas how I can get rid of this message and go back to the menu to actually use my iPod again?

    Have you tried resetting your iDevice?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • How do we get the plugin to run and not crash flash and shockwave constantly?

    the shockwave and flash players crash constantly in Facebook apps ... every indication is that the plug in container grinds away with extraneous programming down loaded to it without my knowledge or permission. it also slows the over all performance of all systems or apps that i attempt to run for the same reasons. how do i get rid of those unwanted and unneeded programs and prevent their return ?

    You can change the permissions that are stored in the browser in the "about:permissions" page, however if its the plug in container [http://mzl.la/MLXx5x What is a plug in container? ] you can manage the plug in with these [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-plugins-play-audio-video-games instructions] and if you are running into specific issues you can troubleshoot [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems the plugins with these]
    If you have any specific questions we are happy to help as well. Making them go away would prevent you from being able to watch/play the flash apps
    This also checks if they are up to date [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]

  • Spotlight & Mail Search Not Working After Deleting email Account's '.OfflineCache' File.  How Do I Get Back to Normal?

    Running OSX 10.7.4 and Mail.5.2.
    One of 3 email accounts was constantly trying, but unable to synch.  The rotating splines were turning non-stop but not synching (other two email accounts worked just fine.)  After doing some searching on the internet, I found several articles about this.  Many included the symptom of the "Recovered Messages" constantly being recovered/generated.  I had noticed that I would get some recovered messages on occaision, but had never noticed it to be problematic.  These articles suggested that the ".OfflineCache" file for that email account had been corrupted or the root of my problem.  So, I deleted the .OfflineCach file as per this article...
    Fix OSX Mail Creating Multiple 'Recovered Message
    Well that got my mail working again.  However, I soon noticed that spotlight no longer works and when I try to search mail, it doesn't work.  It will only return a complete email address/contact; it doesn't search the contents of the email.
    I tried to get spotlight to re-index the hard drive.  However, when I try to drag a folder or volume to it, I get the error:
    Since spotlight and mail search have always worked flawlessly for 5 years, I'm confident this is related to having deleted " .OffflineCache" for that particular email account.  However, it seems strange that mail search won't work for the other email accounts.
    Any other tips for getting spotlight back online?
    How about the .OfflineCache file.  Will Mail restore it, replace it on it's own?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, looking back, not long before this problem started, I was trying to send a single email with numerous pictures ( around 50 or so.)  I forgot to select "medium" for the picture size and it started trying to upload them at full size.  I realized this after a minute or two and cancelled the upload, changed to 'medium' and sent the email with no problem.  I point this out because the "Multiple Recovered Messages" error seems to be related to or being induced by having an excessively large file in the particular mail account's .Offline.Cache file.

    Well, a couple days later and it seems that the .offlinecache has been rebuilt.  Finder, Spotlight, & Mail search all seem to be working normally now! 

  • HT5730 After I installed 10.8.48.4 Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection.  How can I get back to normal operating speed?

    After I installed 10.8.4, my Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection -- unless it froze up completely.  How do I get my system back to a normal operating mode?  Can I dump 10.8.4 and go back to the one that at least worked?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
    1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
    3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
    5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
    6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • How do I get back to normal mode from safe mode and enable add ons again?

    I switched to safe mode to disable a few add-ons, but now I want to go back to normal mode. How do I do that?

    Firefox will open normally as long as you do not click the Safe mode link in the Start menu.
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    >In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account.  How do I get back on as a device to use my account?

    I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account.  How do I get my iPhone 5s back on as a device to use my account?

    Hi jakefrombishop,
    If you changed that old ID to your current ID using Manage your Apple ID, try the following to see if it will accept your current password:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your current Apple ID and password. EDIT the ID and change it to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Now on the iPhone, where it is asking for your password to turn off Find My iPhone, type in your current password
    3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with the old email address and your current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to your current email address. You may need to verify it again.
    Fingers crossed!

  • Need to get back the normal editor which is used in 46c

    We use function module "EDIT_TEXT_INLINE" to input the comments by calling the normal editor. Since ECC6.0 implementation on our system became dam slow as it is calling the "Graphical PC editor". Can you please advise to get back the editor which is used in 46c?
    Thanks in advance,
    Arjun

    Hi,
    Sorry for my wrong interpretation.
    Do you mean, you want SAP Script Editor as Graphical Form Painter than Graphical PC Editor, as it was earlier.
    If yes, then, in SE71 goto -
    Settings -> Form Painter -> SAP script Tab -> Form Painter Tab
    Just Click  checkbox for Graphical Form Painter and uncheck Graphical PC Editor, save it. Unchecking Graphical PC Editor would turn-off  MS Word as Editor.
    Please update, if I'm again not getting your requirements.
    Thanks.
    Kumar Saurav.

  • How do I get back to Firefox 37, can't use dashline with 38

    Dashline tells me not competable with Firefox 38, is there a fix for this?

    If you have Firefox 38.0 then either you installed the 38.0 Beta 1 build or you were on the Beta channel due to install a Beta build of a version at some point and continued.
    To get back to Release channel you can install the current Release from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all which is currently Firefox 37.0.1
