Problems with linebreak in terminal (\n doesn't create linebreak)

Hello! I've recently started to migrate my embedded software development from my laptop to my gorgeous new iMac, but I've come across a rather annoying problem.
Linebreaks doesn't work properly in the terminal. If I type
echo "Hello \n Linebreak" it just types Hello \n Linebreak and doesn't interpret the newline-character correctly.
My version of Mac OS X and keyboard are both Swedish (Pro-Swe). Any hints or tips that could help me take the final step and finally switch my dell laptop to a macbook?
Thanks in advance / Martin

Hi Martin,
I discovered that it also works in zsh.
Welcome to zsh!
If you are using zsh, then you don't need -e unless you explicitly set the BSD_ECHO option.
If you are using bash instead, but don't want to add an option -e, then put the following into your .bashrc or .bash_profile, whicherver appropriate:
shopt -s xpg_echo
Another method is to use
echo $'foo
bar'
This works both in bash and zsh.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
How to reset iPod
Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

Bandwith Problem with Flashes over Terminal Server

I get huge problems with viewing flash on Citrix Terminal
Server. Everytime a user opens up a website with Flashes in it, it
consumes the rest off the bandwith. This slows down all other user
on the site. This happens over RDP and ICA Connection. Microsoft
dont want to have a solution for this problem. they know it but...
. The same ist for Citrix. I hope that Adobe can give me an
acceptable solution. What can i do, to tune up Flashes over the
Terminal Server?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Problem with Mail...it doesn't shut down

I have two Gmail accounts (IMAP) which I use with Mail app. When I shut the computer down, I have to force quit Mail or open the activities (cmd-0) and close all the activities...if I don't do that I'm not able to shut the mac down.I can't understand how to solve this problem...I've already tried to reinstall Mail, I repaired the permissions, I set up the accounts several times but nothing has changed...
Hope someone will be able to help me!
Thanks

I have the same problem with my MacPro using 10.5.8. Whey trying to shut down computer, if Address Book or Mail is open they must be "Force Quit" to continue with Shut Down. Mail version 3.6 and Address Book version 4.1.2. Very frustrating.

Problem with premiere elements 3.0 (titles when creating DVD)

I am using version 3.0 and when you go to create DVD there should be the option to insert titles or menu page at the start of your DVD, well that has disappeared from my programme. We had problems with the pc so had to reinstall alot of the programmes on it but the titles never came back when we re-installed the programme. I have tried everything i can think of but there are still no titles or menus available. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Give this a try and see if it helps.

Also, if you are installing on Vista, be sure to install the 3.02 update also.

Client Having Problems With Acrobat 11.0.3 and files created in earlier versions

We are noticing problems with our PDF's depending on the version of Adobe they are viewed with.
If the PDF File was created pre 11.0.3 and you view it with 11.0.3 you only see squares in the narratives from SQL/Oracle Text Fields .
If the PDF File was created with 11.0.3 and you view it with 11.0.3, it is fine.
Update. As with most Software/Support services the correct information is not always received and must be forced out of the Customers.
The PDF files are drawing of Auto Accidents created in Adobe Acrobat and stored on a Microsoft Server Network. The files are then merged inside a Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2 Application with Data received from Microfoft SQL Server 2005 Database through a ODBC driver to a FoxPro Cursor and then created with a Visual FoxPro Report Form. The VFP Report form page that displaies/prints the PDF file is a OLE File Object and is created / Printed through Amyuni 4.5xx Converter to a PDF file and then viewed with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.3.

There are software packages that will do those checks. So in that sense there is a way to check. However, that would be a programming task and not necessarily simple. So I really can't help you on the programming aspect (I would refer you to something like the SDK forum for programming).
To check the file, you would normally open the document properties (ctrl-D). The general tab provides the version number and the fonts tab will tell you what fonts are used and embedded.

Problem with font in terminal.app

Hello all
I tried to use the font Inconsolata (downloadable from http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html) with the terminal.app. Prior to the update to snow leopard everything was alright. But now this font doesn't render anymore in the terminal.app (although it worked once till the next restart also under snow leopard!). Strange thing is, the font works absolutely normal in all other apps (e.g. macvim oder texteditor). So the font seems to be ok. But why does the font not work any more in the terminal.app? Is there a special font-cache for the terminal? I already tried to delete the user and the system font cache.
A picture might help to understand the problem:

Some hints on how to remedy this problem?
Greetings
Jerri

That is very strange. OpenType was the format that had the least issues as Apple worked out the early bugs in the complete 64 bit rewrite of the font engine in Snow Leopard. Type 1 PostScript was where the majority of the trouble was.
As I noted above, I had no trouble with the font, so can only assume there's some sort of issue with your system. At least the TrueType version works.
The only thing not done was reinstalling the OS. If you want to take the time to try that, back up the drive and run the OS X installer from the desktop. That will put a fresh copy of OS X on the drive while keeping all of your third party apps, preferences and such intact. Then apply all available updates.

10.6.8 introduces several problem with mail, on one machine doesn't start on another it can't be seen from Safari, is that normal?

I don't what's going on with 10.6.8
Mail is suffering several problems.
first of all, I made all the standard routines... permissions, etc.
1) on one machine it starts, the dock icon is bouncing endless, and even forcing the index rebuilt, doesn't help.
2) on another machine, mail is not recognized by Safari, it is not there it says (My fear is that is Safari the problem? Strange)...
Do you have any other issue with Mail?

I have reinstalled the combo update, last night... The Mail app works ok on one mac, but is isolated, so no other app can send to Mail.app any email content.
Here you have the snapshots.
and this is the info.
I don't know what to do more... Shall I fill a bug report?

Problems with building web services - tutorial doesn't work

I've been going through this tutorial from technet.oracle.com -
trying to deploy the example stateless session bean service.
First problem comes when running the deploy command -
java -jar <j2ee_home>/admin.jar ormi://<host> <uid> <pwd> -deploy -file ejbws.ear -deploymentName ejbws.
This command fails insisting that it can't find application.xml (even though it is clearly in the .ear file).
Got around this by manually editing the server.xml file and bouncing OC4J. Then did the bind command. The first steps of compiling and running the client application then worked fine - I could see the .wsdl file and download the proxy jar.
But when I came to actually run the client I got the error:
Exception in thread "main" [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Protocol; msg=Unsu
pported response content type "text/html", must be: "text/xml". Response was:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>500 Internal Server Error</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1>500 Internal Server Error</H1><PRE>oracle.j2ee.xanadu.JasperGenerationError: no source generated during code generation!: error: I/O error in UrlBridge to: file:E:\ORACLE\j2ee\home\application-deployments\ejbws\ejbws\temp\__session_bean_rpc\Hello.class.<br>binary class definition not found: Hello
By manually copying the Hello.class file into the __session_bean_rpc directory I was able to get the example to run.
But how do I get it do deploy correctly in the first place????

I ran into the EXACT same problem described by Tracy, and I assembled my .ear file manually.
According the error message, it would appear that the server is looking for the EJB remote interface in the ../temp/__session_bean_rpc directory when it is trying to generate its session bean wrapper class. As Tracy notes, when the file Hello.class is copied into the directory, the problem goes away. Furthermore, once the wrapper class has been generated, Hello.class is no longer needed and can be deleted from the directory.
Better still, I found a way to deploy the web services web module and make the error go away. I created the ejbws.war file with a copy of the remote interface Hello.class in the WEB-INF/classes directory. This makes the class available when the wrapper class is generated.
The WebServicesAssembler tool doesn't copy the EJB remote interfaces into the .war web module, which would appear to be
necessary.
Hope this helps.

Problem with PDF, link in website doesn't find the adobe

We are using Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8 and Adobe Reader 9.0.
There is a website with a link to open the dokument with adobe. But when we take a klick on this link adobe isn't found. The format of the file is any file and there only cryptical sign in the file, which would be open. Please - I need help!

I have the same problem - shocked that this hasn't been addressed by Adobe or Microsoft. It began with recent updates. Adobe Reader will not open a .pdf file on the web. I sometimes get the following dialog but mostly I get a blank screen with "Done" in the status bar.
If I open a .pdf from my hard drive I get a message about protected mode. If I click on the link in the message, I get Adobe instructions about turning off protected mode - but it is already turned off. If i cancel that message i can open a local .pdf.
