URL Characters Don't Transfer Correctly From Mail Links

I'm sure this will be moot come Friday, but Whenever I send web app links to myself via Mail, they show up perfectly in iPhone's Mail, but when I click on them, any unusual character is converted to some kind of UniCode characters and Safari fails to open the browser. What I've noticed is that MANY web apps use the pound character "#" in particular and that gets converted to "%23" which Safari then fails to find. Why does this happen? As far as I know, this does not happen when I click on Links in OS X Mail & Safari. It's relatively easy to fix, I just check the character and then correct it in the URL field (better than typing the whole thing from scratch as most web apps are extremely long URLs).

Save the links to a bookmarks folder on the computer, then sync bookmarks over to the phone, and there they stay.

If you have photos in an email:

How to transfer emails from Mail onto iphone?

just got my iphone and having fun using it so far.
i am trying to get work out how Mail works on the iphone in terms of how it syncs with Mail on my imac.
i really want to load some old emails from Mail (on my imac) onto the iphone. i tried dragging them from Mail onto the iphone icon in itunes but it won't let me do that.
for example i deleted some emails on the iphone by mistake, yet they are still in my inbox on the imac and wish to transfer them back onto the iphone so i can read thme on the move.
is there a way to do so?

Email account mailboxes and messages are not included in the iTunes sync process and you cannot drag or transfer email from your computer to your iPhone or vice-versa.
The iPhone's Mail app is no different in this regard from using an email client on your computer.
If you want email account mailboxes and messages to be kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, you need an IMAP account, not a POP account. Either way there is no option to drag or transfer email from your computer to your iPhone or vice-versa just as it isn't possible to do the same between two email clients on your computer.

Captivate 5.5 pasted Traditional Chinese characters don't render correctly

Hi,
I've been trying to cut-and-paste Traditional Chinese characters from PowerPoint (where they render perfectly) into Captivate, but they only get rendered partially. Here is an example
From PPT:
After pasting into Captivate:
What could be going on here? Obviously, the Win7 system can render the characters correctly, but why don't they all display in Captivate?
Thanks for any assistance,
Andy

Yeah. I've done that so many times it boggles my mind. Thanks but no star for you on this one, sorry.

Arabic characters don't appear correctly, why?

Hi all,
i have a problem i think many others have. The problem is that i'm trying to render arabic text in JDeveloper9i and Win2000 proffisional, but the arabic characters are rendered as question marks, although i have set the encoding option of the compiler to many encodings that support arabic and select several fonts that support arabic also, and even i have set the system locale to Saudi Arabia locale but the problem still exists. the very strange action i noticed that i can write arabic in the editor and the property inspector but after saving the file (.java or .xml or any) and then closing and reopening the file, the arabic characters are displayed as question marks, may be the editor encoding and the OS encoding are defferent? so i set the encoding option the "default", but the problem still exists. I don't know exactly, but if any one has an answer or a solution, he is welcome.
TIA to all

You have a byte order mark (BOM: ï»¿) in the file to specify the encoding, but the server may be configured to send the file as western iso-8859-1
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark
Firefox ignores the encoding in a meta tag and BOM directions if the server sends an encoding via the response headers. <br />
It is usually best to make sure that the editor doesn't add such a BOM at the start of the file.
If necessary then you or visitors can change the currently used encoding to Unicode.

Files don't copy correctly from one computer to another

When I try to copy a file from my MacBook Pro to my I Mac, using Finder, it always asks for a password (my other computers don't do that) and it only copies an empty file

Actually, all files. Pictures, data files of all types, .pdf files, all of them.
I just set up a new I Mac, migrated all my files, apps and data to it from my MacBook Pro Retina, and use both computers for accounting work, so I need to copy files back and forth. I have a folder on both called Files and I keep all my data files in that folder and copy it back and forth. I can copy from the IMac to the MacBook Pro, no request for a password, etc, but when I try to copy anything from the MacBook Pro to the I Mac, it requests a password and it only copies a shell of a file with -0- bytes of content, in other words, name only. Sure would appreciate any suggestions or help.
Thanks

Imported pdf _ fonts don't print correctly from CS3

When I place a pdf file in InDesign CS3 and I imageset it on an Agfa Selectset, some fonts get squished together. InDesign CS2 prints ok, though. How come?

HI,
It is an open type font so should work, but it looks like the problem is that it hasn't installed correctly in Illustrator. I am using Windows 7 so right-clicked fonts and clicked install. Fonts appear in fonts area of control panel and install in disabled when font is viewed. they work correctly in other apps, such as Word
When I vew the VistaSans fonts (in existing file) in Illustrator, they appear in the fonts drop-down, but have an asterisk beside them (i.e. not installed) so how do I get them to install correctly in Illustrator? Font isn't appearing in Photoshop either.

Trouble with a PDF opening correctly from a link

When I click the link to a certain pdf on a web page, a new window opens but I get the error message "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I click OK, then close that window. I go back to the link, click on it again, and sometimes the pdf opens fine at that time, and sometimes it takes one more time for it to open correctly. Other people have opened the pdf the first time with no trouble at all. I can open other pdf links on the same web page without a problem. Any thoughts?

Hi Kim,
It seems the document had Reader extended rights. Those form are created using different feature and when a person save the document with Data those rights will not remain intact with the form.
Means you cant make any changes with the form.

Transfer data from Photoshop Elements 4

Hi,
I am looking to transfer my catalog and collections intact from Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 on Windows XP to a newer version on Mac (yet to be purchased). Can anyone confirm if the catalogs and collections will export from version 4 and import successfully? I don't want to be left with the task of sorting 1000+ images into different collections again. I've found limited and conflicting info. online.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the delay in responding again.
From the info. given it looks like I will have to carry out the following steps:
1. Backup the catalog on the in the existing copy of Elements 4 on the PC.
2. Upgrade Elements on the PC to version 12.
3. Restore the backed up catalog to the new version of elements on the PC
4. Backup the catalog from version 12 on the PC.
5. Purchase and install elements 12 again and install it on the Mac.
6. Restore the backup to the Mac.
Can you confirm this is what I need to do?
I don't have a Mac, but I have done the transfer between PCs many times.
What is described in the above link is :
- start with step Nr 2 - Upgrade PSE on the PC to version 12
- In the upgrade process, you will be asked automatically to have your old catalog converted to the PSE12 format. No need for backup/restore at that stage, you can use your converted catalog on the PC.
- Do the backup on the external drive : good thing for your PC and necessary for the transfer to your Mac. (I assume your external drive is compatible with both PC and Mac).
- skip to your step Nr 5 - Install PSE12 on the Mac
- finally restore from the external drive.
Can you also advise as to whether the photo version sets and stacks will be imported/restored correctly into version 12 from version 4, and also if these will transfer correctly from version 12 on the PC to the same version on the Mac?
Yes, they are stored in the database of the catalog.

HT2688 how to transfer music from my itunes account to my husbands new iphone

I have an existing itunes account which my husband had purchased music on and now he has a new iphone and, of course, his own itunes account. I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music. I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked. when I've looked online for assistance it says to "turn on the settings for iphone>settings>ipod... well has has no ipod (other than nike + ipod), so I went to settings>music>and signed in to home sharing with his own account ID and PW.... any body have a solution?

I'm confused.
You don't transfer music from an iTunes account. You transfer it from an iTunes library. Plug in the phone and sync it.

Okay.
I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music.
You have sync'd your iPhone or his iPhone?
I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked
Are you trying to Home Share between different computers?
Or between iTunes libraries on the same computer?
Are you using the same computer? Different computers?
Are you using the same computer login or do you each have your own?
If he purchased music previously on your account, is this music in your iTunes library? His iTunes library? Is there only one iTunes library?

Safari's mail link and mail page options cause system wide hang

I am having a very odd and serious problem with mail/safari in the 10.4.6 update
When I select mail contents of this page or mail link to this page from the file menu and mail is NOT open it causes the entire system to hang and the only option is to reboot
I tried to mail a page when mail was open and I didn't have any trouble
I have seen several posts that are similar but don't involve safari's mail link issue
If someone knows of a more appropriate area please direct me there
Thanks
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I usually don't use this feature with the Mail.app quit but it shouldn't make any difference.
As a test, I quit the Mail.app and used Mail Contents of This Page from Safari. The Mail.app launched without any problems and a new Mail.app message opened with the contents of the selected web page copied to the message.
As a first step, I suggest Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption for system troubleshooting procedures and when doing so, follow all steps/instructions in the order provided.
Did you check the hard drive for any directory problems with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc before installing the 10.4.6 update and did you quit all running applications before the install?

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight,Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight, Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

If you have an external drive with an OS X Time Machine backup, then do restore of your last backup. If you have an external drive with a bootable clone of your previous system, you can boot to that clone and re-clone the OS X on your external drive back to your Mac's internal drive.
If you do not have either of these available, then the reverting/restoring process becomes much more complicated and involves purchasing an external drive and backing up your current system to that drive, then erasing, reformatting your hard drive and now your only options to installng an OS X version is doing a clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, then upgrading, again, to either OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for download and Apple has not made OS X 10.9 Mavericks available in any other form to be able to redownload and install.
Maybe it would be better to explain in detail your issues with Yosemite to see if any of us here can help you with your difficulties.
I am not running or using Yosemite, so I cannot help you with your Yosemite issues,
There are others here who can help you with Yosemite.
Good Luck.

HT5527 Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go... I don't understand!

Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go...
I don't understand!
These information are contradctory. Now my account is locked.
What Am I supposed to do???
thanks for your help!

Well as far as I can tell the only developed alternative to Apple is Microsoft, sure you want to go there?
iCloud (and Mobile Me before it) are consumer level systems, working correctly they are a poor choice for business use, if you want to stay all Mac try Zimbra if you can let a little Microsoft in the mix use Microsoft Exchange (Mail, iCal & Address Book are compatible as clients), hosted Exchange systems cost about $10 per month.
Or try to fix what is wrong with your installation (which is clearly not running as it should)

I understand you can transfer photos from Picasa to my ipad using an ipod. How is this done?

I want to transfer photos from my PC laptop (Picasa) to my ipad. Someone told me I can do this via my ipod. How is this done?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
