Symbols Appearing Instead of Puctuation Marks.
When I upload to my Web site, I get these weird symbols where the puctuation marks should be. It happens with other symbols such as the Registered and Copyright symbols as well.
I keep getting an Angstrom symbol appearing at different times also.
When I used to use DreamWeaver, this was never an issue.
Why is it happening ? I have tried several fonts, but to no avail.
Any suggestions, or ways to get around this

Your server is probably (mis)configured to force all browsers to use the wrong encoding. If you set View > Text Encoding to UTF-8 it should look correct. See this note for fixes:

Why do these symbols appear instead of font?
I tried to open a PDF that has some text in it. But instead of the text I get that:
What is that and how do I display the real text instead?
Thanks in advanceHi there, thanks for your message.
I'm not sure the font is installed. But I don't know how to know which font it is.
When I open the same pdf with Photoshop or with Preview (on Mac), it works. But with Illustrator it doesn't display the text. -
I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.

Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to? Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock?
More then likely they are an alias that not longer point to the orginals, thus the question mark.
I would reboot. Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove. -
Exclamation mark appears instead of photo. Recently upgraded from i mac to Macbook air and all was transferred over. I have run all the repair and rebuild functions in iphoto. Any other solution?
Since iPLM failed to help try the following:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

iCloud symbol in settings does not appear, instead there is the one for MobileMe, what do I have to do or didn't do well?
Thanks in advanceIf your Mac is one year old it did not come with Lion, so you must have purchased and installed it yourself, or it is not installed.
Do this
Go to Apple Menu>About This Mac:
It should look like this:
If your version is anything other than 10.7.xx you do not have Lion (10.6 is Snow Leopard) -
I keep getting an intermittent error on web pages where a blue box with a question mark appears instead of pictures. For example Facebook and Zappos would load normally on one visit, but if I visit other websites and return I get the blue box instead of pictures. If I restart the problem will go away temporarly. However, normally returnes in time.
HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Appearance tab. Tick the box next to: Display images when the page opens.
If that box is already ticked, from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems loading images, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
If you still have problems, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

Quicktime logo with question mark appears instead of flash content
since updating my system yesterday to OS x 10.4.11 i have been unable to view flash content with _all browsers_. *Quicktime logo with question mark* appears instead. Spent 4 hours trying every fix suggested by Mac forums worldwide - with no result. Took the computer to the apple store where they actually took 60 euros off me for NOT fixing the problem. Still cannot view any flash content. Any help would be appreciated
Mac book Pro 2 Ghz Intel Core DuoThese are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11.
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster! -
Quicktimes taking very long time to load-Big Q appears instead.
When posting ipod (small) quicktimes to my .mac account (4 per page), the site is taking a really long time to load-a large Q appears instead of the usual Quicktime video frame for a few minutes. They eventually load, but it takes a long time. I've used this program and these files for a year without incident, and now there is this huge delay for my clients. The files aren't very big 2MB-20MB.
Maybe it's my Safari or Firefox acting up?
Here's the site if anyone is able to have a quick look and tell me if it loads quickly on their machine:
http://web.mac.com/chopperfilms/iWeb/Steve%20Gaskin/Projects%201.html
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.To wait for 27MB to load is too big or rather long wait for your audience/visitor. Set poster frames for all and use movie ref to load only the one the visitor chooses so they don't get the letter 'Q' and use 'fast start' so loading long or big files feels like less waiting. Were poster frames and movie refs getting done automatically by iWeb before?
I am actually getting the letter 'Q' with a question mark in it 60/40 percent of the time in a QuickTime I posted which I am trying to figure how to get rid of. -
Ripped Picture Appears instead of Quicktime working.. help please.
My computer is a windows 98, and i was having problems with quicktime. instead of quicktime working on the internet, a picture appears that looks like a page of ripped paper, along with the blue quicktime symbol. for example, instead of the music working on myspace, that symbol pops up where the music is supposed to play. and on a friends website, where they have a music video, that symbol appears and nothing works. i have no idea what is going on. quicktime has been working all great until yesterday. please help.
[Nicole]If I remember correctly the one time I visited myspace, they were using. http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/
So you may need the flashy one or uncheck flash media in QT settings. -

Sorry, possibly you need a new hard drive or try reformating. First
you can try something like http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/ it has been known to repair disk that DiskUtility could not. YMMV and they don't give it away.
If Disk Warrior can not repair then you need to Reformate the drive. Make sure you have a back-up in place no matter what.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply. -
On Ibooks Author, my programmed image for the Chapter page no longer shows up on new pages, just appears as a question mark inside a box, How do I fix this? Please help, its the same when I try and copy and paste the same image within Ibooks author.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24420017#24420017
You may have moved or removed content on your page or its possible you used the"Adjust Image" and over sharpeed one or more images.
I assume you mean it does not show up of new Chapter pages... have you checked the template?
Where you see the ? you need to either reduce teh box outline size - or drop anther copy of the original image onto it, it may fill the ? box or sit on top.... delete the ? box.
If its Chapter page only related, its better doing this in the template.
Is you image .jpg or .png? -
My older iPod classic says when I dock it either with charger or hooked up to computer that the battery is low, the apple symbol appears, you can hear a whirring sound (hard drive coming on) then a clicking sound and then back to low battery message. Has been doing this for the last week.
Hey there Kevin,
It sounds like your iPod Classic is exhibiting some unexpected behaviour when you have it connected to your computer with the usb cable. I suggest the troubleshooting steps in the following article to help troubleshoot the device:
iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Start by resetting the iPod, then retesting the issue.
Reset
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!
Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.
