Trouble with accent marks like João

Hi,
Any time I import a cd into my itunes and the artist's name has an accent like João, I have trouble.
Sometimes all the other albums I have by that person might disappear until I mess w/ the tags and file locations forever until I finally do something that works. Other times I might get 2 copies showing up...one that will say Joao and another that will say João...if I delete one of them, the other will disapper too.
Anybody had trouble with this? Anybody have a solution other than messing w/ the files for 45 minutes until everything shows up?
Thanks,
Myles

I also went into my ID print settings and in the graphics tab i changed the fonts menu from "Complete" to "subset" and unchecked "download PPD fonts"
I also tried printing stright to PDF instead of postscripting and distilling
None of it changed anything or had any effect.
Since changing fonts in Freehand had an effect, could it be a corrupted font file?
No, no. Don't reduce the number in the prefs, and You DO want complete and download PPD fonts checked.
DId you try resaving with the same fonts in Freehand and making sure you chose to embed them? I was never a Freehand user, so I don't really know what options are available.

Trouble with characters with accent marks

Hi,
I have an Indesign document of Quebec. Many town names have characters with accent marks on them but when i create my PDF they show up as a small black box instead. Is there any way of fixing this, other than converting my type to paths?
I'm on a Mac using Indesign v3 and Acrobat v7
Thanks

IOS 8 lockscreen keyboard does not let me input characters with accent marks. My password has an accent mark. I can't restore the device without unlocking it and turning off find my iPod. What can I even do here?

I do have a third party keyboard installed (fleksy), and I removed english and emoji from the keyboards list in settings before rebooting the ipod. When it booted up, it asked for my device password with the default keyboard, but I can't type any letters with accent marks, so I can't enter the password. I figured I could fix this by restoring a backup and changing my password, but I can't restore a backup without turning off Find My iPod - which of course requires me to unlock the device with the device password, which I can't do. Am I stuck here? Is there anything at all that I can do?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Trouble with beat marks in imovie 09

Must be me but here is my situation. The first 15 seconds of my project is an avi with audio to it. I want to insert 75 pictures to an audio file that plays after the first 15 seconds with beat marks. I am having trouble doing this. I can't find a tutorial that lets me do this. "An helpers out there?

I see this was a MP4 clip brought into iMovie from iPhoto. The encoder is given only as AVC. Was the original clip from a camera shooting AVCHD? I am surprised that the audio is good since often AAC is a problem and also the rate is 44.1KHz not 48 which is standard for video. What camera did you use? iMovie 10 should work with AVCHD but it is highly compressed and can be problematic depending on the power of your computer. You might try converting the clip to Quicktime movie with prores 4.2.2 encoder using MPEG Streamclip which is a free download.

Why does Bridge have trouble with accents in filenames?

We work in an in-house studio with Creative Suite 4. Being in Montreal, Canada, many of our documents have accented characters in the file and folder names. When Bridge attempt to display these accented filenames, occasionally the capital letters get converted to lowercase letters and a trip to the Finder window (we are on OS X 10.5 and 10.6) shows folders doubling, tripling and then going back to normal with no human intervention, as if 'springing' on its own. The files are on a mounted server. The folders and files are created through Adobe Bridge CS4 or through the dialog box in InDesign CS4, Illustrator CS4 and/or Photoshop CS4.
I've posted a video on my Dropbox account so you can see the problem.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4289569/Business/jumping%20window.mov
We've contacted Apple and they say it's not their problem. Is there a known bug regarding this that Adobe is aware of?

Creating folders in Finder and Bridge with accents in the file and folder
name (although I've always learned this is a bad thing to do but I
understand the need for your use) is no problem on a stand alone
configuration.
I believe it has more to do with the use of working with a server. For best
answers you could open a case with Adobe Tech Support using the contact
button and explicit name the use of a server in the description.
Hopefully you get a better answer from them then from 'not our problem'

Wireless Music - trouble with accents in artist's na

Is anybody else having this problem? On the remote if a artist has special character in his name like a accent over the e, like you might see in a Spanish or Portuguese name, there is music listings under his name, but if you go to the album name which does not have any strange characters, the music will show up there? If I manually remove the special characters, I see the music listings under the altered name.

It's nice to dream.
They are releasing a patch elsewhere on these forums which does resolve some issues and even includes foreign language support. If the menus can have accents, why not the content? After all, if they can't get simple stuff like this right, how are they going to beat iPod?

Accent marks on a US keyboard

Hi everyone
I've just bought a new MacBook. I ordered it with a US keyboard, because i'm a software developer, and an US layout is the best thing for me. It will be delivered to me in 3 or 4 days
I was wondering if i can write letters with accent marks (like à,ò,è,ì), even with the new computer...
Do you know some ways to solve this issue?
Thx

Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources and check "Keyboard and Character Viewer". Then, when you select "Show Keyboard Viewer" from the menu bar, you will be able to see all characters that you can type. You can select "Show Character Viewer" for the other 60,000 characters you can't type.
For the diacritical marks, use the option key:
cédille ⌥ c
accent grave ⌥ `
accent aigu ⌥ e
umlaut ⌥ u
circonflexe ⌥ i
tilde ⌥ n

Unicode characters with accents won't display in Java Swing applications

I'm using FreeMind (a Java Swing application) and I need to enter classical Greek characters with accent marks. When I type an accented Greek character, FreeMind displays the unaccented character. However, I can type the accented character in MS Word, then copy and paste into FreeMind, the accented character appears.
One of the FreeMind developers indicated this was a Java Swing issue, not FreeMind, and suggested I test with another Swing application. So, I installed jEdit and got exactly the same results. I can paste an accented character into jEdit, but I cannot type it in directly.
I'm using Windows Vista with Java 6 Update 22 (build 1.6.0_22-b04). I also tested on a XP Pro box with Java 1.6.0_18-b07 and got the same result.
One other note: A couple days ago, I was able to type accented Greek characters into FreeMind. But it only worked for a couple days and then the behavior reverted to unaccented characters. It is possible, but I don't recall specifically, that I updated Java during the time and that may indicate a bug in one version of Java but not another.
Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Darin

Walter,
The link you provided does not appear to describe the Greek Polytonic keyboard. (The page also describes using the "Option" key as the dead key. There is no "Option" key on my keyboard. I'm using a Sony VGN-NS140E purchased in Chicago, i.e. standard physical US keyboard.)
Please see http://darindavis.net/languages/keyboard_Greek.pdf for a detailed description of how to use the Greek (Polytonic) keyboard in Windows to produce a complete set of accented classical Greek characters. This method works in MS Word and Notepad. I enabled the Greek (Polytonic) keyboard with:
Windows (Vista) Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Change Keyboards > General > Add > Greek (Greece) > Greek Polytonic
A test that will demonstrate whether you can replicate the error is to do the following in both MS Word (or Notepad) and jEdit (or FreeMind):
1. Enable the Greek Polytonic keyboard
2. Type "\" then "e" which should produce an epsilon with smooth breathing and grave accent (ἒ)
When I do this in MS Word or Notepad, I see the epsilon with smooth breathing and grave accent. When I do this in jEdit and FreeMind, I only see an epsilon.
I recorded a screencast to illustrate the problem: http://www.screencast.com/t/TRKkKQrCgbN
Actually, this problem is transient. Sometimes FreeMind or jEdit will display accented characters, other times it won't. Ironically, the first time I recorded the above referenced screencast, a few characters in jEdit did appear with accents. A couple minutes later, I re-recorded the screencast and as you can see jEdit did not display the accents. Between the two recordings I literally did nothing other than stop the Jing recording and start a new one. There is another variable at play here and I can't determine what it is. The most likely source seems to be Java since MS Word and Notepad consistently display accent characters.
Thanks,
Darin

Accent insensitive LIKE in a stored procedure

Hi!
How is it possible to run a SELECT with accent insensitive LIKE in a stored procedure?
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP=xxx is not allowed in procedure body, so what can be done?
I guess i need the LIKE equivalent of NLSSORT(string, 'NLS_SORT = XDanish_ai').
Is there such a thing?
I need this option per statement, not globally.
I use Oracle 11g.
Regards,
David

I used this approach:
procedure proc1(
     p_1 IN VARCHAR2,
     p_out OUT sys_refcursor)
is
     m_comp VARCHAR2(80);
     m_sort VARCHAR2(80);
begin
     select value into m_comp from NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS where parameter='NLS_COMP';
     select value into m_sort from NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS where parameter='NLS_SORT';
     execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP=LINGUISTIC';
     execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=Slovenian_ai'; -- I'm not danish ;)
     open p_out for
     select * from table_a where name like p_1 order by name;
     execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP=' || m_comp;
     execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=' || m_sort;
end;This works, but:
- the NLS affects also ordering, which I don't want
- it does not count 'z' and 'ž' as the same, which was the goal I tried to achieve ...

Trouble with mounted partitions (root twice)

Since a few days ago, I'm experiencing troubles with my partitions, like / being mounted twice. I'm using systemd instead of Init, mtab is symlinked to /proc/self/mounts
df output:
rootfs 103212320 13629136 84340304 14% /
udev 10240 0 10240 0% /dev
run 10240 344 9896 4% /run
/dev/disk/by-uuid/11331a92-bb2a-4aa2-a376-de9c2d12d6a3 103212320 13629136 84340304 14% /
tmpfs 2011176 0 2011176 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 2011176 176 2011000 1% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 2011176 0 2011176 0% /media
run 10240 344 9896 4% /var/lock
run 10240 344 9896 4% /var/run
/dev/sda1 369251368 61124056 289370348 18% /media/Akai-Data
As you can see, / is mounted twice.
my /proc/self/mounts looks like this (in fact, is):
http://pastebin.com/bLi22Cps
my partition layout inherit from the time where I had both Windows and Arch Linux installed (so I was low on free primary partitions) is: sda1 350 GB ext4, sda3 8 GB swap, sda4 98 GB ext4. So I have no /home and / in different partitions as sda1 is where I have all my data.
my /etc/fstab:
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/Akai-Data ext4 defaults,realtime,data=writeback 0 2
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 / ext4 defaults,user_xattr,realtime,data=writeback 0 1
Also, my /tmp folder has not being cleaned in 5 days. ¿Does it not supposed to be cleaned at every boot/shutdown (I have booted few times in five days)?
So, my troubles here are:
/ is mounted twice, and /tmp is not being cleaned. Any clue on this?
Also, to me, my/proc/self/mounts seems weird, aside from the fact that I think there is why / is mounted twice. Could someone check that?
Thank you in advance.

The only place I have found that is on my /boot/burg/burg.cfg file:
linux /boot/vmlinuz26-pf root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/11331a92-bb2a-4aa2-a376-de9c2d12d6a3 ro fastboot quiet logo.nologo resume=/dev/sda3 init=/sbi/e4rat-preload
But as far as I can remember, that has been always there since I started using burg instead of grub (half of a mont ago, maybe more). And never got troubles with that.
Also, rc.local has everything comented out
EDIT: have I to assume that the burg entry is leading to troubles?

Accent marks in hyperlinks?

I have a url with an accent mark (é) that works when put into a browser but doesn't work when put as a hyperlink in InDesign. Does InDesign just not handle url's with accent marks using hyperlinks? Is there a work around other than changing the url?
Thanks!

I found a solution. You replace the é with the URL-encoding. They can be found here: http://w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp

NetStorage (OES11) folder with accented filename

Hi,
When I want to download a folder containing a filename with accented characters like "", something weird happens. Opening the resulting zip file with Windows explorer does not show this filename in the archive. Opening it with 7-zip shows that these accented characters have been replaced with "?" characters.
I have installed all patches as of today.
Thanks,
Marc Delisle

Accent marks - Acentos

I have a problem, the thing is I have an old version of InCopy, but when I copy words with
accent marks from OpenOffice, and paste them in InCopy, the accent marks don't appear.
Is there an option or a way to work around this?
now in spanish:
Tengo un problema con una version pasada de InCopy. Cuando copio palabras acentuadas
de OpenOffice y las pego en InCopy, se pierden los acentos. Hay alguna opcion que no
tenga seleccionada o alguna forma de arreglar esto?
thanks..
Gracias

Save the Open Office doc as either doc or rtf and use the file>place command to bring in the text.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

Folder with Question Mark on Start-up/ DOS-like screen with errors now...

Left my Mac Pro running last night, woke up to it being frozen (looked like it was
in hibernation mode and wouldn't wake up).
Forced a shut down from button on tower - on start-up, went gray screen
with blinking folder with question mark.
Inserted install disc 1 and held down 'C' - Went to choose your lang menu,
I picked English, went to choose start-up disc. Options were the install
disc and a network drive with a question mark. I picked drive with
question mark.
Computer looked like it was trying to restart, apple with loading circle
spinning, and then blinked to a black screen that looked like DOS that was
blinking error messages (one message was "diskOs2 undefined Oxe0030005")
Any suggestions?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Was there a storm or outage that could have brought it down? for now it sounds like a kernel panic screen is what you are seeing. If you don't have a UPS, I wouldn't be w/o. Never know when one of those high winds will knock out power.
You could try to do an SMC Reset and see.
I assume you usually sleep the system and it doen't have trouble with wake from sleep, and you haven't altered the system (new hardware etc) in any way that would change that.
