Safari changes danish letters

For years I've Safari and only Safari, but at the moment I cannt'. When I google danish words as for instance Århus Kommune, Safari changes the danish letters (æ, ø and å) to (even more) strange letters (Ã¥rhus kom). Firefox doesn't. How come? Help me back to Safari, please

No, it's in your settings, but I'm not sure where.
First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
From the Library folder, move the entire contents of the subfolder Caches (not the folder itself) to the Trash, then log out and log back in. Empty the Trash. Test.
If the problem is not solved, open the Library folder again in the same way and move the entire contents of the subfolder Preferences (not the folder itself) to a new folder on the Desktop (not to the Trash.) Log out and log back in. The account will then be pretty much in a clean state. Test. If you can still reproduce the problem, then put the Preferences folder contents back, replacing any that were created in their place, log out, and log in again.
If you can't reproduce the problem in the clean state, then start putting things back in the Preferences folder piecemeal, starting with items that seem unrelated to the issue. I can’t be more specific. After each group of items, repeat the log out/log in cycle and test. At some point, the problem may reappear, in which case you know that something in the last batch of files you restored is at fault. If it never reappears, the problem is solved.
This may be a very time-consuming process, but it’s the best I can suggest in the circumstances.

  • Change some Danish letters on the keyboard

    Hi- Can anyone tell me how to change two buttons next to each other?
    On both buttons it says both an which is 2 Danish letters that I would like to change so when I press on the button it will type instead which is also on the button and of course the other way around?
    Thanks
    Per

    Every notebook is delivered with country specific keyboard and country specific operating system language so this is standard procedure by all notebook manufacturers.
    What you can change is keyboard input language and it is also nothing but standard procedure and defined by operating system itself.
    That's all you can change.
    Danish letters and keyboard buttons are not known to me but you can use symbols as defined on keyboard. As far as I know you cannot map each button and define which symbol should be shown.
    Maybe some third part applications can do this. If Im remembering well long time ago on this forum one guy from Poland wanted to do the same and he wrote about something about this.

  • Mobile Safari changes '#' from a link in Mail to '%'

    When I press a link from Mail that contains the '#' character, Safari changes it to a '%'. This causes grief as some sites don't load as expected.

  • Preferences in safari changes

    Why does my preferences for safari changes every time I start it?

    It might just be registering the last time you opened Safari to be able to send relavent crash reports if there should happen to be a crash.  Note, unless you specifically ask it to send said crash information to Apple it won't.

  • Safari changes url

    Safari is changing the entered URL by itself. Not sure why this happens, but sometimes when entering a certain web address Safari changes it by itself into something like Google or Ebay. Once this happens you cannot go to the desired web address for a couple of hours: Safari keeps redirecting to the same Google or Ebay site. Often the next the day the problem is resolved and everything works fine again. Does anybody have a clue what might be going on here?

    Most likely your ISP is re directing your browser.
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, security, it's free and no more re directs.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.

  • Safari changes my website request to random product sale sites.

    Every time I try to load http://www.retrievertraining.net/forums/, Safari changes the address to various other websites. This site is one I have used regularly for years on all my computers. The problem only exists on my imac. This is an example of one of the sites it sends me to http://www.apartmentfinder.com/search.aspx?ecid=PS%7CADM%7C21189S114209140
    I have tried dumping casche and resetting Safari to no avail. The site works fine on my other computers.
    Help

    Hi
    Since you said - the site works ok on other computers... and you've reset Safari, presumably including removing cookies?... I'd think it unlikely on that evidence, that the site has been hacked.
    Whilst hacks to websites do & will happen, and result in page redirects, or rogue/spammy pages being served up - if they're not gonna be noticed right away by the site owners, they do need to be either randomish, or meet some pre-determined criteria ( like say, if the visitor has come from google, and was searching for xyz's , and even then, perhaps the 'hacked' site might only redirect every one in ten requests )
    or yes, if the visitor has some identifier, like a cookie or 3rd party plugin, or is from a particular country or isp... something which would let 'em know to redirect your computer, and not mine. Or it might be a bookmark you use, with some extra code in, although the http://www.retrievertraining.net/forums/ link you gave, is fine, and works normally from here too.
    Have you checked to see what DNS the problem mac is using?

  • Wireless keyboard + Safari + Changing Keyboards shortcuts = ARRRGH

    So I was wondering if anyone knew a way to change the shortcuts on the keyboard for Safari, specifically I would like to change the "Command-R" function which reloads the page to "F5". I have gone throught the whole keyboard shortcuts tab in system prefs (System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts) and added the safari menu command and my shortcut I wanted to add yada yada yada and nothing ever works no matter how many times I try or what I change. I am not sure whether or not the fact that I am the Apple Wireless keyboard has anything to do with this but I doubt it does. Any ideas?

    Got it THanks!

  • Font size in Safari changing randomly...

    I've just started using my new macbook pro 13", and Im noticing something very strange... As Im browsing in Safari (3.2.3), the font size will randomly change! For example, I could be browsing the discussion forums here, and all of a sudden all the text on the page will re-render into a tiny size, or sometimes a massive size. Closing the window and re-opening fixes it temporarily, but it keeps happening!
    I have checked all the appearance settings in safari as well as resolution settings in the System Preferences, but no luck.
    This has never happened for me before... any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Just did a more detailed search and found this already answered. New trackpad, makes sense.
    Thanks

  • Edit code for change drive letters in paths for links, to also work with Fonts that have been moved.

    I have the following code that looks through my links and changes all of the drive letters to the new locations where they exist.  So if something stays in the same folder structure, but moves to a new drive E: and InDesign can not longer find it, you can run the code and have it fix them all.
    Well I want to do the same but for fonts that have also moved.

    ok, so I have discovered where the issue came from...
    The code you helped me with before, were I removed all links and my link character styles that I had (found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5881440#5881440)
    Well it set all the items I was finding/replacing to unknown fonts that my machine doesn't have (Like Helvetic Neue Bold, instead of just Helvetica Bold, etc).
    Is there an easy way of fixing this?
    The only way I know to fix it right now is:
    Go to Package >> go to Fonts >> Select the the font that says it's missing >> Select Find First >> CLOSE ALL OF THIS, then use the eye-dropper to select the text around that font which copies the formatting and then apply it to the text who's formatting got messed up.  And then start the process all over again for the next occurence of that word whose formatting got stripped.

  • Can I change the letters (A,B,C,D,etc) at top to words?

    Hi,
    The letters at the top of each column, can they be changed to words?
    For example when I am on let's said line 89 and cant see row #1 where I have the column names instead of scrolling up I would like to name the columns where I can see the names all the time.
    Thank you

    Marco,
    I'm afraid it's not possible to re-name the letter designations of a column. Since it sound like you already have column names in the header row, perhaps you could switch to "Show Print View" where the header appears at the top of each page (Menu > View > Show Print View). Not a perfect solution but reasonably workable.

  • Changing Russian letters to English (tagging? how???)

    I would like to convert the names of my Russian songs to English in iTunes, since when I connect my iPod to my car, the car displays dots on the screen instead of Russian letters. I want to permanently make Russian titles into English ones. How do I do that? I have heard something about tagging, but I have no idea how to do it. Thank you in advance!

    The slow way is to click on each song name, and change them as you would with normal file names in the Finder on your desktop. In iTunes, go to the songs, and click on a single song, and then hold click, so that the name is highlighted and then you can change it.
    Or, if you have a lot of them, the best way is to make a Playlist out of the songs you want to change, and in the playlist, do a GET INFO from the first song in the list, and once that window opens, go to the INFO tab, and you can change the name of the song, and all the other information, as you please. Then, at the bottom of that window, you can click NEXT, and go from song to song in the playlist and you'll be done in no time.
