Symbols like ?/ in filenames

[i'm using itunes 7.3.1.3]
i noticed that when i burned a data disk for a friend, when i put the disk in his computer it could not read 3 of the files (they had exclamation points next to them). the same thing happened on my computer (the one i burned the songs from!). all these files have symbols/characters in the filenames. for example, "Do You Realize??"
i even went into the source files and eliminated the symbols but the songs still will not play if i burn them.
this has never happened before and tons of songs have symbols in the titles.
any ideas?

Depending on how you are using the info, you may have to pass
% as %25.
Flash has two functions (depending on what is being encoded
and when). Look up:
escape() and encodeURI()

I have a apple ipod touch but recently I restored all the settings, as well as the applications. But now I am not able to add songs to it. There is blank screen that shows the symbol like to connect to itunes first. I'm not able to use that... Please help

The iPod's firmware is corrupt. You'll need to restore it again in iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to recognize the device. Use the instructions in this Apple support document to walk you through the process of placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

How to insert a greek symbol like "alfa" and "beta" in Pages 5.0

How do I insert a greek symbol like "alfa" or "beta" in Pages 5.0

The same way you would in any other OS X app... there are various keyboard shortcuts for common letters (e.g. Ω is 'alt-z'), but if you are not sure what they are there are two quite simple solutions.
Both require you go to "Keyboard Prefernces" in "System Preferences" on your computer and put a tick in the box "Show keyboard and character viewer in menu bar".
Once you have done this, you get an extra menu item that gives you access to two OS X utilities - "Character Viewer" and "Keyboard Viewer"
Character viewer opens a window that allows you to look for specific characters, copy them and paste them into your document. It is very powerful, and probably overkill for what you want. But worth knowing about.
Keyboard viewer is a floating window that shows you what OS X thinks each key will produce when you type it. It adjusts itself to match whatever language / keyboard you are using, and shows immediately the effect of pressing the adjuster keys. Here is the viewer showing what happens when you press the alt key...

Symbol-like fonts unusable

...carried over from Security Update forum:
The system's text management is in a mess. I believe this has happened since the last Security Update, and so do most other users that also experience this font problem.
Symbol-like fonts do not work anymore in many modern applications. Try for example using the Symbol, Zapf Dingbats or Hoefler Text Ornaments-fonts in TextEdit, or Pages, or Keynote. On my machine, and others, the system is unable to render these fonts and instead uses another type style.
The font-selector panel is also behaving erratically when trying to access these fonts. Selections spontaneously deselect, change into other fonts, etc.
FontBook on the other hand, renders all fonts fine. So do more antique, or poorly programmed, applications like the apps in the Adobe suite. I guess in this rare case we can be happy for that.
The fonts that are affected all seem to have in common that they render so called "special characters" (symbol-like characters), rather than letter-like. This leads me to believe the bug is related to Unicode management.
Any ideas, solutions...?

Selecting a few letters in a TextEdit document and
then choosing f.ex. the "Apple Symbols" font fails to
change the font of the text correctly. Actually, it
will change the text into "Lucida Grande",
independently of what it was before.
That is how it is supposed to work. You cannot enter symbols in a Unicode OS and app by just changing the font and typing. That's what the article explains.
If you insert a symbol-like character with the
CharPal (f.ex. a greek phi) into the text, and then
continue typing after that insertion point you'll be
spontaneously switched into another non-symbol font.
Same thing. If you want to continue to enter greek, you must either activate the Greek keyboard layout in System Prefs/International/Input menu or continue using the Character Palette.

Printing currency symbols(like $ for dollar)for all countries in smartforms

Hi friends,
I have to print currency symbols (like $ for dollar) for all countries in SRM PO Smartform.
Is there any character set which has all the currency symbols in it?
If so, how to print those in Smartforms?

Hi
There are two ways to maintain format of Currency,
1. Transaction : OY01 Customize: set up countries
2. Menu->System->User profile-> Own data -> Defualt
Just check the country seeting as well as user setting
before run the smart form.
U can use SET COUNTRY command to set country format which is specified into OY01.
Use Write stament to convert into required currency format.
... CURRENCY w
Effect
Correct format for currency specified in the field w.
Treats the contents of f as a currency amount. The currency specified in w determines how many decimal places this amount should have.
The contents of w are used as a currency key for the table TCURX; if there is no entry for w, the system assumes that the currency amount has 2 decimal places.

Special characters / symbols like u2018u2206u2019 are displayed as u2018#u2019 in the print pr

While displaying print preview / taking print output using QGA3 Transaction with developed Z SAPScript form specified as one of the parameters(say for example ZARMEXP), the special characters / symbols like u2018∆u2019 are displayed as u2018#u2019 in the print preview / print output . Of course similar problem had existed for Lambda Symbol u2018u03BBu2019., but it was resolved by using the font type Helve_I7. But for the symbol u2018∆u2019 we checked with almost all the fonts that were available in the system, but of not much use. Hence could you kindly provide us solution(s) that would resolve this issue.

Hi,
I hope this depends on the printer settings.
Check whether your printer could support these characters or not!
Thanks and Best Regards,

I can't delete a file in the trash that has strange symbols (␀ ␀獭潤) in its filename.

There is a file in the Trash with a filename containing strange symbols, along with some Chinese characters. For some reason when I empty the Trash, all files are deleted as expected, expect this one particular file. The symbols are: ␀ ␀獭潤 — although some of the symbols I was unable to copy, which is probably why they are causing problems.
How can I get rid of these files? Even in Terminal it says that the file does not exist.

I'd like to point out that in my problem, the problematic file is actually on a USB drive, not on the Mac's internal drive. The USB is formatted FAT32.
Anyway, I ended up reformatting the disk since it's an external drive so it wasn't much hassle. It's essentially like nuking the whole thing, which is a bit overkill, but I couldn't figure out how to fix this since the two apps recommended by the link you provided (Trash It and Cocktail) both failed to delete the file.

How to type symbols like öúē with ff for mac ?

The hold for symbols function doesn't work in FF 22.0 for mac OSx 10.8.4. Normally i need to press and hold a button lik o to get a few option to choose a special character. For example o gives me 8 options óöôòõœoøō but when i hold the o in ff i get this ooooooooooooo. How to resolve this problem ?

Hi, Its working fine for me. see the attachment at the end
Try to hold for a two seconds, to show the options.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Parent node showing icons or symbols like - though it does not have leaves

Hi,
I created an adf tree using a view link between region -- countries-- location .. when i see the tree it appears as if all the parent nodes has child nodes as all the nodes indicate an icon or symbol in it... when i expand the nodes i find it does not have any child nodes... how to overcome this... I want symbols or icons only for those nodes that has leaf nodes .So that i need not expand all the nodes . How can it be achieved . Can someone tell me.... I have seen samples but still encounter same problem ...

Hi,
for performance reasons, ADF does not query all data from the database and instead uses deferred data fetches when the node is expanded. Because of this optimizations, all tree ends show as nodes. There is a bug I filed to make the performance optimization optional after which you get what you want (by the cost of slower tree rendering if large data sets are involved)

It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application
* The default key combination to rotate the layout is the Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift combination that Firefox uses for some menu items
* To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
* Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence
