Mail and Asian fonts set-how to reset...

I am attempting to remote support a client using Apple Mail. He has a Mac Book Air/Lion (not sure if 10.7.4 yet) but my email to him is getting interpted as Asian character set.
I'm thiking of looking within Mail/Preference/Fonts and Colors but the larger issue is what precipitated this in the first place. Shoudl I be looking elsewhere.
Body of the text is Asian font set but the email address and other particualrs from him and me are English.
Should I look at keyboard preferences as well?
Looking for guidance.
Many thanks to all...

He uses Mail/iCloud with an ATT DSL system. I have my own domain using IMAP as well as a .me account using Mail.app.
Waiting to hear when I can remote login to look at things.
Another thought is to backup his mailbox, rebuild, and then do a big purge of his inbox. His work pattern is such that he leaves way too much in his inbox (4K+ messages). I've counseled him to change. If the system is getting corrupted maybe this is a symptom?
Also not sure if he is at 10.7.4-I'm not going there yet due to some nasty issues with the Thunderboldt upgrade released last week.
Thanks

    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

  • I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

    I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
    Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!!

  • HT201363 I cannot find the answers to my security questions for Itunes and cannot figure out how to reset them

    I cannot find the answers to my security questions for ITunes and cannot figure out how to reset the questions.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I forgot my password to my mac book and don't know how to reset it in the security privacy field

    i forgot my password to my mac book and don't know how to reset it in the privacy security field, can anyone help? Thank you.

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

    Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section. If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, you can't reset the questions yourself, and nobody on these boards can reset them for you.
    Setting up a rescue email address requires correctly answering two of the questions.

    Does anyone know of a way to make just one folder in Mail a different font than the other folders and mailboxes?

  • Cannot install Adobe Reader 11.0.09  and Asian Fonts over older versions

    I'm using a script to install Adobe Reader 11.0.09 and it works sometimes, but very often, there is an error saying it cannot install it because a previous version exists.
    We have to manually uninstall older versions of Adobe Reader 11 and then re-run the script and then it works.
    @echo off
    cls
    start /wait msiexec.exe /i \\appserver1\Apps\AdobeReader\11.009\AcroRead.msi /qb TRANSFORMS="\\appserver1\Apps\AdobeReader\11.009\AcroRead.mst"
    start /wait msiexec.exe /i \\appserver1\Apps\AdobeReader\11.009\fonts\FontPack11009_XtdAlf_Lang.msi /qb
    How can we change this script so that it will force installation over any previous version?
    By the way, the installation was created with Adobe Customization Wizard and has settings enabled to remove any previous versions of Adobe Reader.  So, the problem with installing over existing version could be from the Font Pack installation,

  • Deleted notes from g mail and all notes disappeared.How do I retrieve.

    I was purging my g mail on my i pad and removed notes. I don't want the notes in g mail - only in notes.
    Before I knew it, my notes were completely gone. So I turned wi fi off on ipad and ipod so that i could save the notes in
    i pod and perhaps save all. However, playing around with settings, I turned notes off on i pod - wifi off - and notes disappeared.
    No clue what I did and how to undo it. I keep thinking if I can retrieve notes on ipod I can rewrite and synch to ipad - then- voila! all problems will be solved. Any suggestions?

    Try restoring from backup. If you do that by USB, make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Otherwise, when yo connect, the previous backup will be overwritten by the current contents of the iPod andwhich does not include the Notes.
    To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...  syncing".

  • Mail for Exchange/Asha 311 - how to reset

    I want to use Mail for Exchange to sync contact data with gmail, as I did on the Nokia 700 (think it was called Active Exchange there). I configured it similarly, and it seemed hung in a loop trying to connect. So I reset it, and then it wouldn't restart. It flashes a screen of data (too fast to read - something about Synchronization service shutdown ... Removing databases .. Application will restart when complete?).  I tried reinstalling over the app from the Nokia store - and get the same results. Rebooted a few times - same thing.
    Is there any way to reset this and/or remove the app completely? I really need this to work since syncml doesn't work either.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Then it is getting complicated becuase I never tried alternatives A and B myself:
    A) On a computer with MobiMB, access drive A » Menuapps » Mfe » and delete all files except the JAD and the JAR. More details …
    B) Nokia » Menu » Sync and backup » Create backup (microSD required) » on a computer you extract this ZIP file and remove the Record-Management-Store files (.rms). Reset the whole phone and restore this modfied backup. More details …
    C) With a computer, Nokia Software Recovery Tool
    However, I am not sure whether Google still allows new devices for Exchange ActiveSync. Therefore, I do not think that app will ever work for you. Or do you have a ‘Google Apps for Business’ account?

  • I did an Rebuild in Apple Mail and need to know how to undo it!!

    I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2010 model.  I use Mail as my email program.  OS is Mavericks.
    While trying to fix another issue (my Mail program crashes instantly on opening and has not been usable for months) I clicked on "Rebuild".  I am just frantic now because all the messages in my inbox, drafts, and Smart Folders disappeared!  I have just an empty Inbox now.
    After this happened, I touched nothing else and closed the Mail program so that I wouldn't make things any worse. 
    I didn't have an overloaded inbox, just a hundred messages or so that I have been carefully saving.  This is a terrible loss,  If there is any way to save them, please let me know how!
    Thanks, Tori Gregory

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
              Envelope Index
              ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Generic cursors and generic result sets - How to?

    Hi all,
    I'm currently developing some kind of table export util. All it should do is to take a list of table names, determine the table structure (aka fields), fetch all data from this table and store a flat textfile containing all table data as ready-to-use INSERT statements.
    Please do not tell me that I could use DataPump or imp/exp, I know this but in this specific project this is not possible. I simply need one textfile per Table, that's it.
    So far my approach is the following:
    - Developed a package which contains a hard-coded list of tables as "TABLE OF VARCHAR2".
    - One procedure inside this package determines the list of fields for every passed tablename and their corresponding fieldtypes and generates a SELECT and INSERT query.
    - Another procedure will get the created SELECT query (which is valid, I've tested this) and performs a "OPEN <generic_cursor> FOR <select_query>";
    And here is also my problem. After "OPEN" the generic cursor I need a record to fetch the data row into. However as the list of tables is dynamic, so must be the records where to fetch into. I did not find any possible way of dynamically creating a record for the "FETCH INTO" statement. So far the only solution I've found was to hardcode the results of the tables and use IF/ELSE or CASE logic inside the data retrival procedure to fetch always into the right record:
    PROCEDURE DUMP_TABLES(P_TABLENAME VARCHAR2, P_SELECT VARCHAR2)
    G_CV genericcurtyp;
    T_MC_USERS MC_USERS%ROWTYPE;
    T_CDALBUM CDALBUM%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
    OPEN G_CV FOR P_SELECT;
    LOOP
    IF P_TABLENAME = 'MC_USERS' THEN
    FETCH G_CV INTO T_MC_USERS;
    ELSE
    FETCH G_CV INTO T_CDALBUM;
    END IF;
    EXIT WHEN G_CV%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP;
    END;
    What I really would like to use is something like this:
    PROCEDURE DUMP_TABLES(P_TABLENAME VARCHAR2, P_SELECT VARCHAR2)
    G_CV genericcurtyp;
    TYPNAME VARCHAR2(32):='T_'||P_TABLENAME;
    MYRES TYPNAME%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
    OPEN G_CV FOR P_SELECT;
    LOOP
    FETCH G_CV INTO MYRES;
    EXIT WHEN G_CV%NOTFOUND;
    -- Do something with the row data in MYRES
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE G_CV;
    END;
    Of course I could hard-code everything, however I would like to keep the possibility to extend the list of tables simply by adding another entry to my list of tablenames without having to add additional code whenever the table list changes.
    I've tried also the "FOR i IN (<SELECT>)", however this won't accept a variable for the <SELECT>.
    Maybe someone here as an idea how to solve this problem without having to hard-code the required result sets of all affected tables? Or maybe I'm simply going the wrong way and someone could show me the right one?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Sascha

    You could use DBMS_SQL instead. DBMS_SQL provides DESCRIBE procedure so you can get count and datatypes of select list elements. If you are on 11g you can convert ref cursor to DBMS_SQL cursor or vice versa. But I would use a different solution. First of all, what are you creating "export" for? If you are planning to use it to load data into another Oracle database I'd simply use external tables. If you really need CSV, I'd use DBMS_SCHEDULER and run SQL*Plus task spooling output to a file.
