Instead of letters I have little squares

I need help. After I downloaded the latest version of itunes instead of words I have little squares so I can not read it. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I have tried restoring my computer to an earlier time. I have tried using an earlier version. I have even spent over an hour on hold to find out how to ask a question t be told because I have an old ipod I don't qualify for help. Someone please help me.

Doublechecking before proceeding, ambie. Which particular language do you want iTunes to be displaying? (English (UK), English (US), something different?

  • Little squares instead of text in the store

    I upgraded to itune9 this morning, and most of the text in the store, except artists' names, are little squares. the fonts i have are strictly only XP pro and oed fonts. i never had helvetica to delete. like someone on a similar but different thread, i assume it'll get fixed someday if no one with xp can read the store, but i'd like an answer sooner.
    thanks

    On my Vista Ultimate system, I managed to work around the issue by switching the display language back to English instead of French. I have other Windows accounts on the system. Those with French as their display language have the same issue. This is just a workaround: I can't use my system in French and make purchases on iTunes. Their is a flaw in iTunes 9.
    I am not sure this is applicable to a Windows XP system which is not multi-lingual from the ground up.
    I was very disappointed by Apple's phone support (I have an Apple Care contract for my iPod). The first customer service representative instructed me to completely remove et re-install iTunes. I did it but it didn't solve the issue. When I called back, the second customer service representative was very quick to blame my computer hinting at some plugins that would prevent the correct display of the iTunes Store. I think this is a very poor response to a genuine issue of a customer.

  • I cannot print ANYTHING frmo the internet/email at all; only from Word. Comcast & Kodak say it's a FireFox problem. All the letters are little square ones with 1 to 2 spaces in between each word.

  • Why do some of my emails have blue squares with a question mark instead of a picture or bar code?

    Why do some of my emails have blue squares with a question mark instead of a picture or bar code?

    No app installed that will view the pics and bar codes.  
    Which email client are you using?  Which version? 
    File suffix of the pics & bar codes?  Example:  .pic, .bmp, .jpg, etc. 

  • 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 <b>gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *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 <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).

This appened when i was talking with a friend on Skype, by error i did click on the video and slowly the vertical lines appeared and covered all ma desktop.

    How can i fix this problem ?
    En français: j'ai un IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 et présentement je vois seulement des lignes verticales sur mon bureau et ma souris c'est-à-dire la flèche, bouge mais il y a un petit carré avec aussi des lignes verticales à sa droite. Je pense que ce bug est survenu lorsque j'étais sur Skype avec une amie et que par erreur j'ai cliqué sur l'image de la vidéo et peu à peu les lignes sont appurues et tout l'écran est envahie par ces lignes.
    Comment corriger le problème ? Merci à l'avance.

    Hello, sounds like Video card  and/or heat problems.
    Have you blown the dust out lately? Let it cool for an hour or so.
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode).

    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.

  • How to Paint a little square over the X close button on a TabPage.

    How can we get C# (VS10) to display a little square on a TabPage close button when the user mouses over the tab on that TabPage.
    Examples include that tab pages in Visual Studio. When we mouse-over the X in the upper right corner of any tab, a little square is painted over the X.
    How can we do something similar in our programs using C#?
    I’m using the following code to display an X in the upper right corner of the tab on a TabPage. This now only needs the ability to paint a square over the X when the user mouses over the X.
    // Using statements.
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    // Accomplished during initialization.
    mTabControlMain.DrawMode = TabDrawMode.OwnerDawFixed;
    mTabControlMain.DrawItem += new DrawItemEventHandler(TabControlMain_DrawItem);
    mTabControlMain.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(TabControlMain_MouseDown);
    //  Accomplished when creating a new tab page.
    TabPage newTabPage = new TabPage(“List “ + (mTabConrolMain.TabCount-1).ToString() + “    “;
    newTabPage.TooTipText = “Close”;
    mTabControlMain.TabPages.Insert(mTabControlMain.TabPages.Count - 1, newTabPage);
    // Called when the tab page needs to be drawn/re-drawn.
    private void TabControlMain_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
        TabControl tabControl = (TabControl)sender;
        Font font = new Font(e.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
        if(e.Index >= tabControl.TabCount)
            return;
        Rectangle rect = tabControl.GetTabRect(e.Index);
        e.Graphics.DrawString(“X”, font, Brushes.SlateGray, e.Bounds.Right-15, e.Bounds.Top+4);
        e.Graphics.DrawString(mTabControlMain.TabPages[e.Index].Text, font, Brushes.Black, e.Bounds.Left), e.Bounds.Top+4);
    // Called when the user clicks the mouse button on a tab page.
    private void TabControlMain_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        for(int i=0; i<mTabControlMain.TabPages.Count; i++)
            Rectangle rect = mTabControlMain.GetTabRect(0);
            Rectangle closeButton = new Rectangle(rect.Right-15, rect.Top+4, 9, 7);
            if(closeButton.Contains(e.Location)
                mTabConrolMain.TabPages.RemoveAt(i);
                break;
    Ideas?
    Thanks  :-)

    You mean like windows 7 behaviour where the red area appears behind a white X as you mouse over?
    I would do that by putting the X in a button.
    You then have something concrete there to work with.
    Change the background color on mouseenter and again on mouseleave.
    Otherwise you'd have to work out whether the mouse was over that X you drew on there.  And I think that'd be difficult.
    Or am I missing something?
    Why are you using Drawstring to draw an X on there?
    By the way, you should really be asking windows forms questions in the windows forms forum.
    It's in your interest as you ought to get more windows forms developers hang out there.
    In theory anyhow.
    Hope that helps.

  • Signs instead of letters?

    I have a feeling I have touched a "wrong" button on my display. Suddenly, I only type various signs instead of letters - so this text is written from another computer, as my MacBook is suddenly impossible to use. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    Can you duplicate the problem or the symbols on the computer that is working?  In other words, if you hold down the option key and type the letter "a" on the computer that works, does the symbol match the symbol that appears on the other computer?  When I hold down the option key and press "a" I get "å".  I'm just trying to determine if your computer has a stuck key or if the language was changed somehow.

  • What is the little square?

    I have a new installation of LV on a Dell Precision 370 Workstation configured as follows:  2.8 Ghz p4, 1 g ram, 2 SATA HD, PCI express NVidia dual head video card, dual LCD displays, and a PCI-6071E DAS card.  Whenever LV is running, a little square, about 2/3s the size of the minimize button floats on the number 1 display.  It can not be moved, does not respond to double clicks, however, it can be grabbed and an outline dragged.   The outline vanishes when released.  It does not seem to interfere with any applications, including LV.   The center of the square momentarily changes to a blueish shade of color when DAQ Assistant property box is clicked OK, whether modified or not.  The only time it disappears is with another application running on top of it or LV is shut down.
    I was having a problem with the DAQ Assistant locking the system; installing the 7.1.1 Update seems to have cured the locking problem, but not the little square.
    Has anybody seen this?  I can email an image of the little creature, should anybody need to see it.
    Thanks for looking into this,

    Look to me like a front panel with size 0,0.
    Could you poll VI-server and ask for open VI's and their size? I have no idea how these pop-up but maybe the getting started window is hijacked?
