Network preferences: symbol and text swapped

Hello,
On our new MacBook Pro with Mavericks the Wi-Fi symbol and Ethernet symbol are swapped with the text. After the word Wi-Fi the icon Ethernet is displayed and after the word Ethernet the icon Wi-Fi is displayed.
How can this be put in correct order ?
Thanks,
Hubert

I was actually chatting with Apple Support about exactly this problem when I found the answer while simultaneously digging around on the Internet. This discussion at the MacRumors forum has the answer:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1533959
To quote:
Click the gear icon below those names and select "Rename Service" to edit the name.
Because you can't have two things named the same thing, I started by naming the actual Ethernet service "cow". Then I correctly renamed "Wi-Fi", then I correctly renamed "Ethernet".
In my case, this oddity showed up after migrating data from an older Mavericks Mac. Reinstalling and even Combo updating Mavericks changed nothing regarding this situation. Simply swap the service names back!

There doesn't seem to be 'symbol and text substitution' on yosemite, i.e. cannot shorten 1/2 or 1/4 as in pages 09

Has anyone found 'symbol and text substitution' on Pages 5 please? On Pages 09 you could change the style of fractions i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 2/3 etc. Thanks

Text Substitution has moved out of the applications and into System Preferences > Keyboard Text. Fractions that are not present can be constructed from the special characters panel (Edit ▸ Special Characters…). Search on the word fraction.
If you want to roll your own, then choose the gear selector in the upper left corner of the special characters toolbar, and customize list… . Choose Digits - All. Once Digits - All appears in your left category panel, select it, and then scroll down to the fraction components. These are the small numbers before and after the forward slash. Double-click to place in the With category of the Keyboard Text window.

Storage place for Symbol and Text Substitution

I use Symbol and Text Substitution (Preferences - Language and Text) a lot and like to copy my
definitions to another computer.
Can anybody tell me where this information is stored?

Found it: this info is stored in a hidden file ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences

Symbol and Text Substitution Settings File-

Hi,
I have two computers with Snow Leopard, and I've made a [large] list of substitutions on one computer. I'd really rather not spend my time manually copying them over from each computer. I've tried looking for a settings files to copy, but I can't find it. The one for words I've chosen to have OS X 'learn' is found in the 'Spelling' folder (~/Library), but I can't find substitutions.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Go to System Preferences...
- Language & Text
- - Text
Symbol and Text Substitution
Hit the '+' icon bottom right to add your own.
Otherwise, you should perhaps look to a 3rd party app, such as TypeIt4Me:

Be sure whatever you find is snow leopard compatible, of course.

Symbol and Text Substitution

What applications are the Symbol and Text substitutions supposed to work in? Mine don't seem to work in any. Neither the original default ones now ones I have created myself work in a web browser, Mail, Word, etc.
Any help to get them working would be appreciated.

I just played with it a little bit before responding to this post.
MS Excel 2008 it appears that only the copyright and registered symbol worked as listed in the 'Language & Test' preference. The trademark symbol is listed as only typing 'TM' (w/o quotes), however in Excel it required the () to work. Non of the fractions worked.
In MS Word 2008 everything was the same except the fractions also worked.
I couldn't get any of the 'custom' ones to function, like type !@ and get Hello.
I then went to Textedit, and everything worked including the ones I created.
So it looks like it is hit and miss as to what will work and what won't.

Symbol and Text Substitution not working correctly

Hello,
in „Language & Text“ I have the following symbol and text substitutions enabled, which aren’t working in Pages version 5.1.1 (iMac 2011, Yosemite 10.10.1):
„- - >“ (written without blank space between the characters) which should be substituted to „➜“.
In Safari this works, but in Pages it isn’t working.
Other substitutions work in Pages, for example:
„! ! s s“ (written without blank space between characters) is substituted to „ẞ“ in Safari and Pages.
Can somebody help me?

In Pages v5.5.1 and Yosemite 10.10.1, I can reproduce the injected space issue resulting from your Keyboard > Text substitution for „-->” to „→” . Even if you remove one of the '-', Pages will still insert the space before the right arrow in the result. This is a bug.
Fix: „..>” will produce the arrow without the injected space.

In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond, In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond

When in system preferences, under languages and text, and within it in regions, there is a place where you can format numbers - or currencies by indicating that you want a dot in decimals and comma in thousands, for instance. This is in order to format numbers in calculating sheets, either in numbers of excell.
Since I have moved to Mountain Lion, this does not work. However, with an apple advisor, we were able to determine that it is not a global problem, it seems to be a problem in my computer. We found this out when we created a new administrator user as a test, and the formatting mentioned above works like a charm.
Then we tried separating all my preferencies into a untitled folder restarted and got a set of new prefernces for my own user, and the formatting required did not work.
Now I am - as you can see - quite stumped, the advisor told me it might be in the home folder, but I lost touch with him, and I am hoping that I can find SOMEONE that can help me with this issue.
Thank you

Hi there! Just reading that paragraph I hurt all over
But I got it solved and I would like to share it with you. I actually called Apple and they created a user roots, and from the library in the HD replaced the preferences. After that it worked like a charm.... But that is not all, then excel did not work, even if preferences did, so I went and uninstalled microsoft office, and reinstalled so that was that...
I use safari... I love it, but thanks for all your offers. If I even do need something, I will let you know. and PLEASE let me know if what I wrote above makes sense.... but it works
Take care

Network Preferences Crashing and AFP Isuues

I have ran into a problem with my User Account on Mac OSX 10.4.11, I can no longer make changes to my Network Preferences, as soon as I hit the Apply button, I get the Beach Ball and I have to force quite System Preferences, If I check he Console I am getting the following message:
Dec 30 08:19:21 MarshallMacbook /Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences: NetInfo timeout connecting to local domain, sleeping
I am also having a problem copying files using AFP from this Account to my iMac, but no problems wih my iMac copying files to my Macbook Pro.
I have re-ran the Combo Update 10.4.11, I have repaired permissions and ran Disk Repair using my Restore CD and the problem is still present.
I created another user account with Administrative Rights and this account works just fine, I can edit Network Preferences and copy files using AFP, does anyone know the solution? I have a feeling t is the Net Info Database, but have no clue how to repair or delete it.

Are you out of HD or RAM space?

Access the Shape selection tool, and under this the line tool. There is a
little arrow next to the line tool icon, and clicking this will bring up a
dialog for arrow head, and convexity.

Go along further to the right in the options bar for this tool, click on
the custom shape tool. This brings up the shape library with many shapes.
I have a library called "speech baloons" which is quite nice. I do not
recall whether this came with the program or I downloaded it. You may wish
to google for it if you don't have it.

Button Symbol and text change.

Hi,
I have a button symbol with an Instance name of myButton that
has a text field in it. The text field is dynamic and an Instance
name of myText.
I'm trying to change the text from a class I've created like
so...
myButton.myText.text = "Changed Text";
I'm getting this...
1119: Access of possibly undefined property myText through a
reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong please.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Simon.

Is the TextField added in design time - that is you placed it
using the Flash IDE? In that case you might not be able to
reference it.
Rather you need to add it in a DisplayObject container during
runtime using the various SimpleButton state properties such as
downState and upState. See the example at SimpleButton doc.

Can't open "Formats" in "Language and Text"

In System Preferences > Language and Text, if I click the Formats tab, nothing happens. The other tabs work.
This is a problem as I messed up my date format the last time I was in there.
I tried safe booting, but it made no difference.
Any suggestions?

HT1518 Are there a keyboard shortcuts for the alt or option symbol ⌥ and the cmd ⌘ symbol ?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the alt or option symbol ⌥ and the command symbol ⌘? I need this a lot to take notes from tutorials etc. I know I can copy them from other text or access the special character menu, but I would love to have a easier shortcut.

You can try making one for yourself via system preferences/keyboard/text/symbol and text substitution

MacBook (ML) won't connect to Wi-Fi, no network preferences, no Spotlight

Hi,
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read and help ! :-)
I have not been able to find any kind of solution to my problem, because I did not find anyone with all these problems at once.
Here's what's wrong: out of the blue, my mid-2009 Macbook (white unibody) won't recognize any network (WiFi or Ethernet), refuses to load the Network preferences pane, and won't allow Spotlight to work (is "loading" everything on the right side of the upper bar, including the clock...). The Energy Saver Preferences pane seems to be out too.
I just upgraded my Macbook RAM, and subsequently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, but it had worked fine for a week (granted, a week of not much use).
Booting seems to take more time too, so I'm considering a system repair or whatever the name is, but I'd like to understand the issue, and how to avoid it in the future !
Moreover, I'm not sure on how to repair my OS without any network .......
Thank you for the help ! ;-)

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
