After failed install of FF4, my reverted FF3 displays FF texts in gibberish.
Having tried to install FF4, I have realized it was not compatible with Mac OS 10.4.11. I tried to revert back to FF3.6, but then the Firefox command texts have turned into bunch of square boxes with four tiny numbers in them - they look like character codes. Is there any way to solve this?

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles -
My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.
I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again. -
Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad. It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.
Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV). -
Strange System Font in Dreamweaver. After I installed Dreamweaver CS4 on my Mac, it loaded this strange font as seen in the photo attached. Anyone know how to fix this? I have uninstalled/reinstalled many times to no avail. There are no other problems with w/ other CS4 programs, they all have the normal system font. I can't figure it out. Thanks!

Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.
Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.<br />

Weird text screen came up after I installed 10.4.10
Hey everyone.
Okay, so I recently got an iPhone and needed to install both iTunes 7.3 and Mac OS X 10.4.10. I installed the iTunes update easily enough with no issues but after I installed the mac update, it didn't shut down correctly, so I just pressed the power button to turn it off. When I try to turn on my mac, a black screen with the text 'localhost:/ root#' comes up, and I have no idea what to do. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I can't get off of the screen and I've tried pretty much everything I could find on the apple support pages, but it still won't fully start up. If anyone has any suggestions or information, it would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook- White, 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 60 GB, 512 MB Mac OS X (10.4.10) iPhone, 60 GB Black iPod Video, 60 GB iPod with Color Display, 4 GB Pink iPod MiniType in reboot. That should restart the machine. However, I suspect it'll just boot back into that mode. If so, type in shutdown -h now. That should shut the machine down.
Bad juju shutting a machine down manually while it's installing an update. Pop in the install disk, startup the machine, holding down the C key, and hopefully, it'll boot with the install disk. If so, select your language and do an Archive & Install, saving user and network settings, installation. If that gets you up and running, then, before doing anything else get a bootable, external FireWire HD and make of bootble backup/clone of it to the FWHD. Then, you can supdate and have a means of restoring if you run into further problems. If the update goes well and after a couple of days you're satisfied, erase the backup and redo it. -
Firefox installed in Archlinux can display fonts after a new fonts installed
Hi! I'm a Linux user. Recently I migrate to Archlinux. At first time I used Firefox without issues. Then in the process the install and config software and the distro I installed new fonts. That fonts I used in IBM Linux distro, OpenClient based on RHEL 6.5. Thats fonts are a backup of that machine. The set of fonts include around of 4000 fonts: Windows 7 Fonts, Google Fonts, Droid and others. In RHEL I have not issues with this fonts. The fonts groups are:
<pre><nowiki>[elrengo@xpsl421x .fonts]$ ls -l
total 272
drwx------ 1 elrengo users 4096 Sep 8 2010 AnonymousPro-1.002.001
drwx------ 1 elrengo users 4096 Sep 8 2010 AnonymousProMinus-1.002.001

[elrengo@xpsl421x .fonts]$ </nowiki></pre>
But in Archlinux after fonts installation Firefox can not show fonts, and I can not write in textbox. I do:
* Reset Firefox to defaults --> Do not works.
* Uninstall Firefox / Re install Firefox --> Do not works.
* Reinstall fontconfig package in Archlinux. --> Do not works.
* Update font cache --> Do not works.

If need it something more please let me know
Thanks in advance!
Kind regardsIf [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/firefox#Firefox_variants Firefox ]does not anti-alias and/or hint your fonts, try to install [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-win7-fonts/ ttf-win7-fonts] (preferred) or [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ms-fonts/ ttf-ms-fonts] and take a look at [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration Font configuration].

When I'm composing emails a dialog box keeps popping up asking me to click "resend" to reload my email. If I don't I get timed out. This problem has only happened after I installed update 3.6.16
FYI I am referring to my ISP email on the providor's website, although I have not tried opening other email accounts on the updated Firefox.etresoft a long time contributer to Apple Support Communities wrote a very useful app he called etrecheck which helps in diagnosing many problems caused by third party installs etc.. Go to his website, read his information and from there download and run the program according to his instructions

After installing Flash Player update, I get a box prompting me to install "SoutionCenter" and requiring a disc I don't have. The box appears whenever I start up my computer. How do I get rid of this?
SolutionCenter isn't an Adobe app.
Most likely it was (or still partly is) installed, and it uses Flash Player, but it's trying to update. -
Can you display some text after you have checked a yes or no box?
Can you display some text after you have checked a yes or no box?
Ex:
Yes (Please contact Bob x3-1234) only want it to appear when you check box)
NoSure. If you use a field (button, text field) to display the text, the Mouse Up script of the Yes check box could be:
getField("button1").display = event.target.value === "Yes" ? display.visible : display.hidden;
Change "button1" to the actual name of the field and "Yes" is the export value of the Yes check box. You can use whatever you want, and you'll probably want to make the button read-only as well. -

Chinese Character displayed as square box
I have been trying an opensourced application called Alliancep2p (could be obtained from www.alliancep2p.com) using JRE 1.6 on an English Windows XP Pro machine. The problem is all chinese input are displayed as "square box". Searching for a particular chinese phase works, only that everything is displayed as "square box". It looks like a font issue, though I'm not that sure. Is there anyway the default fonts could be changed, or to get the characters correctly displayed?
Note: I have east asian fonts installed, and the Java config panel can display chinese correctly.
I tried the same application under GNU/Linux (locale is UTF-8) and chinese input/display correctly without any problem at all. Does it mean that it is not the problem of the application, or?
Thanks for all the input.Hi,
Please check below notes which could be helpful for your issue
