Japanese lyrics shown on iPhone become weird characters after some number of plays

I put in lyrics for my Japanese songs both the kanji/kana and romaji. There have been no problems before this. But somehow I suppose after the newest iTunes released I added some new songs and there were two of them that I added lyrics into them. At first their lyrics were shown properly on my iPhone screen. But after some time the kanji/kana became some weird characters. I checked the lyrics in iTunes and there seemed to be no problems at all with my lyrics. I needed to delete the song from both my phone and my iTunes library and re-add then re-synced it again. (just deleting the song from the phone and then re-synced it didn't help.) Then again, today the lyrics became weird again. I don't really understand. It would become very annoying if this keeps going on. I would appreciate any advice and help. Thank you very much.

I just tried this with my iPhone 4 and it also didn't work.  This is how it failed:
  - Select "shared".
- The "pie" start to grow, got to about 1/3, then crashed without
    bringing in the shared content.
- After that, the library appeared in list, but I couldn't select
    it at all anymore.
Then I tried it with my iPad.  The pie got to the same point, sat
there for a long time, then completed and worked fine.
I did a hard reset of the phone and tried again, this time it
behaved like the iPad and worked fine.
Not sure whether it was the hard reset or whether sharing with
another device "woke something up", but in any event it works
now and I can't get it to break again.
Note, I only use sharing for movies, since I have Music Match
(which works *great* for me, even on 3G).
Specs:
  Sharing: 2.7 GHz iMac i5, OS 10.6.8
  Clients: iPhone 4
              4th gen iPad
Everything (including iTunes) patched to the latest.

    Dear Tim,
    I saw your message. Below are the problems:
    Whenever I connect my iphone 3GS to my PC through a USB. My itunes software comes up automatically.
    1. After that a message appears from the itunes that states that 'itunes could not connect to the itunes store, an unknown error cccured (306).
    2. After the above, an alert message comes up which states that A new iphone software version 5.1 is availlable for my iphone. It then states would you like to download it and update your iphone now? With the options buttons as Cancel or Download and Update or Download Only. Whenever I clicked on Download and Update or Download Only, the next message that comes up is that The iphone Software Update Server Could not be Contacted and suggest make sure your network setting are correct and active or try again later.
    The above is the challenges I am facing now.

    when i charged my iphone on y pc after some time showing charger not supported with this accessory what have to do to solve it

    If you did not do a reset of your iPod please try that (you will not lose any data)
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If this does not work inspect the opening in your iPod where the cable connects. Look for any debris and clean it (a magnifying glass may be required).

  • Chinese characters become garbage characters after reinstall  Essbase

    I reinstalled Essbase but I found the Chinese characters become garbage characters in the EAS. And I set ESSLANG=SimplifiedChinese_China.MS936@Binary, but it still didn't work.
    I ran the command:ESSUTF8 -a. It shows:
    Failed on GCSetLocale(). Please set proper ESSLANG environment.
    Is it related to Oracle characters set? My one is SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.AL32UTF8. I heard the shared service console maybe can solve it, but I didn't find the solution in it.

    Hi,
    NOTE: If any of the following Action Points are already done, I would recommend you to implement again.
    1. On the client machine, add the following Environment Variable under System Variables and User Variables. Add ESSLANG as system variable name and User Variable name and put SimplifiedChinese_China.MS936@binary as variable value.
    2. On client Machine, Verify the Regional and Language Options.
    In the Control Panel, navigate to Regional and Language options. Under Regional Options tab, verify if the option "Select an Item to match its preferences, or click Customize to choose your own formats:" has been set to "English (United States)". If yes, set it to "Chinese (PRC)".
    3. On Client Machine, verify if the Unicode font is installed. The font “Arial Unicode MS Font” supports Unicode characters.
    4. Verify the problem in SpreadSheet Add-in(Essbase Add-in). Navigate to Tools->Add-in in Excel, do you see "Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server DLL (Unicode)”. If No, uncheck the option then close Excel. Open Excel again and then navigate to Tools->Add-ins and browse to Hyperion/Analytics/Bin and select the .xll file
    Hope it helps...

  • Iphone 3GS weird behavior after installing ios 4

    after i intalled the ios 4 the same day my iphone went crazy, it started vibrating for no reason and the Clock on the lock screen went nuts the time started changing by itself and really fast i thought my phone was posessed i have never seen this type of behavior on a phone.
    Then a weird sound came up after i hang up a call it started beeping a weird sound for like 5 secs (not an iphone sound) so i had to turn it off and back on so that was fixed. and when i get a sms when talking it started echoing in the background instead of beeping once like always.
    and now the new problem. some songs start skipping like i was playing them on a scratched cd... the songs never skipped on my iphone.. i dont know whats going on with this.
    Can somebody help me?
    Is anybody having the same problem or maybe is my phone?? but i never had a problem with it till i updated to the ios 4

    Mine is not doing those things, it is doing something else. After installing iOS4 my iPod portion of my phone wont stay open. I hit the iPod icon and it opens and stays open for about 2 secs then automatically closes. I have rebooted the phone several times however it is still doing it and I cannot listen to my music. Hopefully any advice that can be given to marce83 might be helpful to me to.

  • My iPhone just turned on after some damage but the brightness will not change and I can't see anything how do I change it.

    My iPhone had water damage and I have had it in rice for at least a month. This morning it started to play music and I got so excited. I plugged it up and left it and when I turned it on the brightness was all the way down. So I thought I just left it this way by when I tried to change it my phone said it was all the way up. I would want to use this phone again how do you change the brightness?

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Also, plug it in to mains power and let it fully charge.

  • Help. My iphone will not charge after some contact with water and it is dead. What do i do?????

    My phone made some contact with water but after putting it in rice, it was fine. The only problem was that it had stopped charging and now the battery is dead and I don't know what to do

    If you try to have it repaired and it still doesn't work, you'll be out that money and still need to buy a replacement phone.  Water damaged phones rarely work well again.  I know you're looking for a lower cost option, but spending the money and getting a phone that works 100% seems to be the best option.  It's your money and your choice, but I wouldn't try to fix a water damaged phone.  Maybe that's just me.........

  • Weird characters sometimes appears on Japanese website

    Hello there,
    I have a macbook pro. When I go on some Japanese websites, there're full of weird characters sometimes appears. It doesn't happen everytime. How can I fix it? I appreciate your time in advance.

    In that case the author used obsolete software from the 1990's to create the site and omitted the required code to tell the browser to use Shift-JIS encoding.

  • Weird "AAAAAA' characters in some emails

    Apple Mail 5.0 is displaying some weird characters in some of my emails.
    It looks like an encoding problem but whatever setting i change it remains the same.
    I can select the text and copy it to Textedit so i can read it.
    What can be the problem?

    Those tall rectangles with two rows of two characters indicate a particular character that Firefox did not find in the font it is using. Often this is because Firefox is substituting or falling back to a generic font because the font specified by the site isn't available.
    In the case of icons, the most common scenario is that a downloadable font is blocked. Github uses the "octicons" font (at least when I visit): https://github.global.ssl.fastly.net/assets/octicons-bccfe7abf7461ed10568dd044425080f7de09889.woff
    If you use the NoScript extension, offsite fonts may require their own exception to load.
    If you do not have any extensions that could be filtering the font, check the general setting:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''gfx''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If the '''gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled''' preference is bolded and "user set" to false, double-click it to restore it to its default value of true.
    Any luck?

  • Weird characters in MediaSource cause cr

    Under Artist and Album in MediaSource 2 many of my artist have funny characters in them as shown below.
    http://205.44.2.42/weird.jpg
    When I click on them, it causes an error:
    The instruction at "0x00000020" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
    The program then crashes out.

    How should I know what language to change it to?
    I've hit this same problem, it only occurs in the ARTIST and ALBUM window of the Zen Touch view (fine on the PC Music Library view. I have Firmware vsn ..3
    As soon as I highlight one of the Aritsts (or Albums), cabooom.
    I don't really understand were the weird characters oginate from, some have them, some don't. The Popular Classics albums all have the problem (which may originate from whatever the language was set to when it they were initially loaded at the factory) - but having only got the device today, I've loaded 4 more albums 2 have the weirdness and 2 don't.
    Now that is weird....

  • Weird characters visualized by all webbrowsers

    Hi everybody,
    I have recently installed OSX 10.6.4 upgrading from Leopard. Installation was successfull but from that very moment on I have experienced problems in webpages' visualization:
    common characters such as letters or punctuation marks are often replaced by striped, accented or otherwise weird characters (e.g. "a" has become "ą").
    I commonly use Firefox (3.6.8) where many webpages are almost illegible.
    On the contrary, Safari (5.0.1) and Camino (2.0.4) are affected by the same problem but the number of 'modified' characters is much smaller than on Firefox; curiously I have not found any match yet between the characters misread by Firefox and those misread by Safari or Camino (that is the characters not properly visualized by Firefox are correctly visualized by Safari and Camino and viceversa).
    Furthermore, not all webpages seem to be affected by the problem for e.g. apple.com, wikipedia.com and others are visualized properly. The problem affects appearently indistinguibly all components of the webpages such as buttons (e.g. "Search" on google.com) and input fields of webpages (but not those of the browser or of plug-in toolbars ecc.).
    Now, how am I supposed to solve the issue?
    Thankyou in advance for help

    Indeed the problem concerned (I am happy I may use the simple past) fonts but deleting the font database was not a possibility in my case (I have more than 1.000 fonts and use them everyday so even saving them and reinstalling one by one would not have been of help). Fortunately Font Book validation procedure has highlighted the problem (dued to doubled font packages).
    Thankyou for the hint!

  • A weird character becomes another one after saving it with RSKC!

    When we load a master data from R3 to BW, get an invalid character error which shows the weird character is kind of like two vertical parallel bars (sorry I am unable to give it here since whenever I submit this question, it will become other characters which could confuse you guys), we run RSKC to input this weird character, when inputting it, it shows as it is, but after saving it, find it becomes ##.  And the data load still fails.
    Any solution?
    Thanks

    Anyone know what is going on? There was a post back in January with the same issue, but no answer.

    You can have multiple iPods and iPhones syncing to the same iTunes library, and you can separately control what goes on each using the Sync Selected Playlists.
