Strange Symbols for the Names of Folders?

I noticed a bunch of wierd symbols for some of the names of the folders within my Preferences Folder. I was wondering if I could delete these folders? They don't appear in the old Mac from which I transfered nor do they appear in a newly purchased Mac. So I think they are junk and can be removed. Or should I keep them because they don't appear to be causing any kind of harm or damage? Below is a link to a picture of what these folders look like if that will help you tell me whether these files are needed or not.

I do have a TWAIN driver with an Epson scanner. I wonder why these files are occurring now and did not occur when I had the same driver on my old G4 MDD tower? I think I'll still move/delete them and see what happens. I can always reload the driver. I wonder if it's some kind of Photoshop bug.
I remember reading about a PS bug a while ago. This bug states that if the following file is present in the /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Legal.localized/ and /Applications /Adobe Illustratior CS2//Legal.localized/folders for a file called Tieng Viet.html then you need to immediately delete these files.
So I deleted the above files and ran DiskWarrior and everything appears OK (except for the wierd folder names). Maybe these files have something to do with that bug or maybe it has something to do with the PS3 beta that I have loaded. I wasn't able to scan using TWAIN through PS3 beta, so I used PS2 like I did in the past. Oh well just rambling thoughts.

How to save file with the "/" symbol in the name?

Hi,
I have Adobe Professional 8. I need to save files with names that include the symbol /, but Adobe interprets, for example, A/88/6, as file name 6, in a folder named 88, in a folder named A, and sets up new folders to accommodate that. I cannot substitute another symbol as I already have thousands of pdf files in a database using the / symbol, and I need them in the same folders.
I would very greatly appreciate any advice,
thanks,
Mo.

Thanks.
As I said, I'm pretty ignorant about these things. I wouldn't know how to begin using a "hack". All I know is that I was able, for over a year, to save .pdf files directly from my browser on several computers, and use the forbidden "/" symbol in every file name. After saving the files, Adobe will happily open them, and allow me to edit and re-save them, although I now see that it will not allow me to "save as" them under a different name without removing that symbol.
I may not be tech-savvy, but I can state that everything I have said here and above is entirely accurate. I would be happy to open a dropbox account to show you countless .pdfs with the symbol "/" in the name.
This is honestly not that big a deal. I greatly appreciate this discussion, and you have inspired me to become slightly less computer-ignorant.
Hope you all had a great New Year. I am still recovering.
Cheers,
Mo.

How to create new text symbols for the standard program.

Time Machine Error Prevention - Do Not Use "/" Symbols on the names on HD!

This is a warning message:
If your Time Machine Backup Fails with the Message:
"The Backup Was Not Performed Because an Error Occurred while Copying Files To the Backup Disk. The problem May be temporary. Try again later to back up.etc.."
*If you Use Symbols In Your Names DONT!*
*Do Not Use this / slash Symbol on the names of your Hard Drives*! Also check your logs to see if the TM backup is hanging on a file name with : or / symbol.
*Back Story*
I had purchased a new 3TB Western Digital HD and needed to do a full backup. I never had issues with Time Machine before. But After trying 2 times and received the error message I new something was wrong.
I did some research installed the Time Machine Widget and checked Console for the error codes.
I was searching on the forums here and just read a post from Pandini regarding the use of characters in file names. I was having an issue with an error code #2 every time. I reformatted with a GUID Partition (Intel Only) and verified and repaired the disks and permissions on everything was good on all my HD's.
After reading his short post about the characters possibly causing the issue I changed the naming on one of the external USB drives to be backed up.
I had it labeled as "Audio/Video/Docs 1TB."
I changed to: "Audio Video Docs 1TB" then tried the backup again it worked great.
It's amazing how a / slash can hang then entire system. I wish Apple would provide some informational notes about these very very simple subtle issues.
Thanks to Pandini for the post, it was the key clue. Save yourself some time and check your logs and hard drive naming to be sure there are no / Slashes.
Thanks to everyone on the forum for their contributions.

Problem solved. Issue resolved. Problem was due to the : or / symbol in the file or HD name.

Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project? I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font. On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger. I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place? I did not consciously change the default.
I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered. I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem. For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

"Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers. (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor). In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display). In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

Why is Mail asking me for the name of an smtp server for an email address that doesn't exist?

I've migrated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion on a new Mac, but in trying to use Mail on ML, it keeps asking me for the name of an smtp server for an email address that's never existed. The addy has my user name correct, but the server part of the address doesn't exist, or at least I've never used an email address with that provider. On ML there's no plist file for Mail, so nothing to delete there. What else can I do to get Mail working? The only other option I have is to abandon Mail as being crippled and useless, and use Postbox, which for it's price (US$9.95) is an attractive option. OTOH, I've paid for Mail after all, so it really ought to work. Any clues as to what I can do to stop its nonsensical behaviour? How do I file a bug report?
TIA.

How can I change the counter symbols for the slideshow templates in Muse?

How can I change the counter symbols for the slideshow templates in Muse? Currently they are obviously normal text characters. So, how can I change them to filled circles, for example?

Hi Aish,
Thank you very much. This was very helpful. I am still new to Muse and try to find my way through all the features and possibilities. I like it very much so far.
Does Muse support ‘liquid” design as well?
Thank you !

Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3.5 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

I understood what you were saying. You did type 4.3.5 in your post. Several other things to try.
Close all open apps like I described above. Just tap the home button first so that you will be able to access all of your apps. Close every single one and then restart again.
You can also delete the app and download it again. As long as you use the same Apple ID and password there is no charge to download it again. Tap and hold down on the GarageBand app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X to delete it. Download it again.
Reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10-15 seconds. Ignore the red slider shut off bar. When the Apple logo appears you can let go of the buttons and the iPad will reboot.
The final thing to try is to download another app - any free app. Sometimes that seems to reset something on the iPad. You can always delete the free app if you don't want it.

No Reporting Symbol for the cube.

Hi all,
no reporting symbol for an cube.
I created Z cube without any aggregates and loaded data sucessfuly QM status is green but i'm not able to see the reporting symbol next the request id. When i checked in manage content data, data is available for the fact but not for any dimension table.
Please go through the following when we did the diagnosis.
Diagnosis
    There is an inconsistency between the load status of the data and the
    option of reporting on this data.
    There is data in the InfoProvider that is OK from a quality point of
    view, but is not yet displayed in reporting.
    The problem, for example, is to do with request 0000003343, number
    REQU_44ROL5YBBCJMDL5HQ8TVBAER6.
Procedure
    Choose Refresh to remove the inconsistency.
As per the procedure we did but went to short dump
UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
CX_SDB_ORA_PROGRAM_ERROR
Highly appreciable if any one could resolve our issues.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Niyati,
What is your BW version. If it is BI 7.0 then check these OSS Notes:
975948 No update statistics for newly created tables
998904 Statistics check shows red or yellow traffic lights
If it BW 3.X version then run the RSRV check for the cube.
