IPod screen in some other language, but I want English!
Hello - Just bought an iPOD (7500 songs, photos) for my husband for Christmas. Turns out the screens are all in either Chinese or some kind of font that uses only symbols. Interestingly, the songs we downloaded print across the screen in English. Anybody run into this problem and how did you fix it?
I tried to just restore to factory settings, but unfortunately I'm living in a country that has poor internet connectivity. I keep getting timed out on the download.
I can still use the iPod, but I hate having to guess what the screen says...plus, after I've shelled out $300 plus accessories, I'd like to get what I paid for. Who wouldn't?
Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance!
If you on your iPods can find settings and then language then you can set to english, but I guess you are in trouble if you only see chinese. Here is what I did in my despair after buing a video camera that was preset to chinese. First I was thinking of going to the chinese embassy and ask them to translate, but then I found that I should go to a chinese restaurant and ask and they were very helpful and helped me. Somebody here might be able to write "settings" and "language" in chinese so you can select the correct.
Regards, Trond

There are a lot of store websites that has different languages. I am Chinese but I set up my firefox in English and that's the only language but whenever I go to a website it will automatically go to the Chinese website.
Some sites automatically redirect you to a site in the local language, based on where your IP locates you.

Report displaying junk characters or Greek or some other language
Hi All,
I have one Custom report in PDF. It is a simple tabular report. When I run this report from Report Builder, it runs fine but when I register it in Oracle Apps and run it from there, it displays all the characters in Greek or some other language or junk characters. Sometimes it works if I change font. But its a trial and error. I dont understand why is it happening. This has happened with one of my other reports too. It worked when I changed the font and its size. This time it didnt work. Any clue how can I fix this issue?
Any lead will be appreciated.
Thanks,
CAH
Edited by: user638181 on Sep 3, 2009 7:05 AMHi Hussein,
We have similiar issue with our custom PDF reports. We are in the process of upgrading from 11.5.9 to R12.
All these reports work fine in 11.5.9.
Following are the details of our R12 environment:
1) What is the application release? Application release is 12.1.1
2) What is application/database characterset? Database - 11.1.0.7.0 and characterset is UTF8.
3) Is this a text or bitmap report? What is the report language? - It is a text report and Language is English
4) Do you use PASTA for printing? - Yes we do
5) Do you get the correct printout if you print the concurrent request output file from the OS? - If I run the report from report builder directly, Yes. If from Oracle Apps, no.
6) Expected output: "Days in Queue"
Actual Output: when I copy and paste the output here it is showing correct. But on the report it is showing
something like ∆Ωµ.....
7) If I try changing the font, it works
8) A different text field on the same report with the same font shows good.
I would appreciate your help on this one.
Thanks

What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn’t decide what she wanted so she stayed with old phone but this locked me into a new 2 yr contract . Within a wk one of the new iPhones started turning on and of like 10 –15 times a day. Wk 2 it turned off and would not turn on again . It was my sons who was in college at the time so we talked and he took it in to a Verizon store where he was told I need to come in since the account was in my name. He was away from home , Verizon could see on account it was his phone they said it was not abused, they could not even turn it on , they sold me the phone give him another phone maybe even a loaner till he gets another. So now I need to go to store and explain to 3 different people this is my phone and my son has it and I need a new one. what a waste of time after about 2 hrs and talking to different people and yes they said there were notes on his account from other person he had talked to from different store. So I finally walk out with a receipt in hand and being told I would have a new phone in a couple days. As I sat in my vehicle thinking this is stupid I looked at my receipt and noticed it said droid on it so back into Verizon I went. The salesman said that’s what your son has on his account. My son had activated a friends old phone so he has one since VERIZON REFUSED to give him one. Another hr 3 people and yes they can see he had a new iPhone and notes on it from other store. Sometimes sorry just doesn't do it. I was now late for a appointment . Now I walk out and have been told I will get a new iPhone in the mail in about 2 wk Yes 2 wks again I bought it there just give me a new one and you send old one back. I will also get a new droid that I have to send back because they said they cant cancel it . In about 3 days I get the Droid and sent it back Verizon mistake and a waste of my time . After waiting over 2 wks and not receiving a new iPhone back to Verizon I went . I am now bitter at Verizon after doing 20 yrs of business with them. 3 people 1 hr later I was told it got delivered to my post office . I got the tracking num called the post office and they say o yes that was the droid. Go back in to Verizon another hr of explaining I walk out being told I will get a new iPhone in a couple of days, We’ll see . Once again I got the phone in your store just give me a new one . Do you realize how much of my time you have wasted ? do you care? O what is Your Policy ? How many Billion did you make last year ? I am Locked into a new 2 yr contract . Why don’t you just release me ? After 20 yrs do you think I will ever renew my contract ?
Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck -

If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
These articles explain exactly what is backed up by using their method.

Also we want to double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar to the right.
Then make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted.

I own a Mac. I want to install some new programms but itunes wants to upgrade itself and wants me to agree with some conditions. I WILL not agree to those conditions.
How can I install software now? The stupid screen keeps popping up that itunes wants to be updated. Going round in a circle here.Well, if you want to use iTunes and whatever security or changes have been made with the iTunes Agreement have changed since last time, and to work with the iTunes Store....
Clone your system.
You can also turn off updates.
Are you on Lion? And already have iTunes 11? You can manaully download and go to the support page and see what changes were made and other requirements.
There is a forum for issues with itunes (but not with the software license and agreement)
iTunes 11.1.3This version of iTunes resolves an issue where the equalizer may not work as expected and improves performance when switching views in large iTunes libraries. This update also includes additional minor bug fixes. Nov 5, 2013

My iTunes and App store are opening in chinese language but I want to convert it into English... How to do that???
As far as I know the language of the two stores on the iPad (iTunes and the App Store) can't be changed - they should be in the language of the country where your account is based (if they aren't correct then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in).

I want to sent music on other devices but dont want that, why?
i want to sent music on other devices but dont want that, why?
when you dont make that possible, most people hacks their devicesThe reason for that is Digital Right Management, and Apple has to keep to the law. But you can share your music using Home Sharing for example.

My daughter and i share the same Apple ID account and I cloud account but I just unwittingly merged them on my Iphone 5s. Now i have all her contacts and my own. I want to delete hers from my phone and stop from her receiving my emails and my contacts. Can i fix both problems without erasing my contacts on my phone and her contacts from her ipod?
Hi,
I got my phone a couple of years ago and when it came in the mail, I wasn't home so my brother decided to set up my iPhone for me because he was so desperate to check the phone out. My iCloud account has been his account and it's been set up under his e-mail since the day I got my phone. Once he bought an iPhone, he set it up under the same e-mail account and now we share it. It's so annoying because all of my pictures and stuff are stored in my iCloud, but that's under his e-mail and I really want a new iCloud account but I want to transfer all of my iCloud information and pictures to my e-mail without losing them. Randomly, my brother has been receiving some of my facetime calls and I even turned it off so that it is only set on my device. I didn't even know he received any of my facetime calls until the other day when my friend told me. Now, our contacts are shared and I don't want that either. At one point during the summer, he was receiving my text messages as well. I turned all of those off under settings so they wouldn't be shared on his device, but I need to find a way to carry my iCloud stuff and set it up in a my own completely separate account. Please, please help me. I really am getting so frustrated with it and neither of us want to delete our accounts because we don't want to lose our iCloud stuff. -
Cannot read mails written in other languages but english
Hi guys, I have this serious problem about writing and reading mails in other languages, for example, Japanese. I have tried both Hotmail in Safari and also Mail application. I think that it might be after the latest upgrade of Mac OS X. Is anybody facing the same problem? Advices needed. Thank you.
Hi guys, I have this serious problem about writing
and reading mails in other languages, for example,
Japanese. I have tried both Hotmail in Safari and
also Mail application.
Could you provide more details about your specific problems? For example, can you not compose in Japanese, or is the problem that it does not come out right at the other end? As for reading, what are you seeing? Have you tried setting the encoding to one of the Japanese options in Message > Text Encoding for Mail or View > Text Encoding for Safari? For webmail, have you tried FireFox? Safari will not work with some systems. -
