Using FINDER on iMac, the Firefox name appears, but the "kind" is in oriental characters. Should I worry?

I downloaded Firefox 16.0.2 (from the mozilla site) on our iMac (Mac OS X 10.5.8) yesterday (11/18/12). When I went to the FINDER to locate the application it came up as:
Name: Firefox 16-3.0.2.dmg
Kind: written in oriental characters (no English)
Last opened: Oct. 24, 2012, 9 am
Thinking I had made a mistake, I downloaded another copy and the same thing happened 3 times!
I am concerned about the oriental characters in the "kind" description. Is this a security risk to my hotmail account and our computer in general? Do we have an incorrect copy or a pirated copy?

Try to do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:

When I touch buttons voice names them but does not really respond. What should I do to restore normal work?

When I touch buttons voice names them but does not really respond. What should I do to restore normal work? Thank you

I have the same problem, its an ipod touch, the most recent version, for my granma. she is blind. it wouldn't respond when you pick something, double tapping or even identifying it when either of use it.
i can see that i am tapping the buttons in VO mode and it doesn't respond. It also says to scroll with three fingers and that takes 20 tries to get to work. I bought this for my grandmother to use VO and it doesn't work. Its a load of crap. I thought if I updated that might help, it doesn't need to be updated.
And the voice speed is almost at the lowest and it still talks fast.
It is ridiculous to have a feature like this and it not be useable. Disgruntled and disgusted by Apple's disregard for the people who could most benefit from this type of technology. I've looked on websites for the blind. So far, no help or advice.

How can I use find a phone with my family members but they each have there own email

How can I use find a phone with my family's iphone when they already have email addresses?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't use find my phone from your phone if your other family members use another iCloud account.
You have two options depending on why you want to find the phones.
Use find my phone at iCloud.com on a mac/PC and log in using their account.
Use the find my friends app

I lost my iPad mini while traveling recently. I tried using the Find My iPhone App (which showed my iMac, my iPhones, my old iPad, and my macbook) but the mini didn't show up...probably because it was turned off or the battery ran down.
I still have the original receipt from when I purchased it, showing the article number and the serial number. Is there any way to locate it with that info?

No, unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it.
Have you reported it to the police in case somebody hands it in ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model also contact your carrier.

Using Finder search not displaying file names

I'm running 10.6.4 and searching from the finder on an Xserve for a file name 00035.png but it's not showing in the results.
Any ideas?

To clarify your question, when you perform the file search through finder, at the bottom of the window is there a place where it says "x items" and is the number shown there greater than zero?
I am having trouble understanding if your search is returning results but they aren't being displayed, or if you're searching for a file you know is on your drive, but it's not being identified.
Regards,

Use Finder icons in the Dock?

The Finder sidebar has these really swell icons for certain standard folders:
Nice and clear and distinct from each other. The Dock icons for the same folders:
are not so swell as the Finder versions. Too similar to each other for me.
Is there a way to make the Dock use the same icons as the Finder?
-tom

you can use [CandyBar|http://www.panic.com/candybar>(shareware) or [Liteicon|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32346](freeware) to change system icons including dock icons.

My mom has an 8 year old imac the kind with the white plastic rectangular housing. It has system 10.4.1. Is there any way to upgrade this? She can't use gmail any more

Is it possible to upgrade this system so my mom can have a modern browser?

We need more details to full yexplore the options. "*Eight yeras old" is very close to hte change from PowerPC to Intel processors. If she has the PowerPC, her options are limited; if Intel she has many more options.
Frr a start, please have her do "About this Mac" from her Apple menu (left end of menubar). The resulting window will describe the processor (second red arrow in the images
here):
Find out which she has and what speed (in mHz or Ghz)--that will be a big help for the Helpers!

When i look for photos in finder my iphoto library does not appear, but when i open iphoto, all my photos are there, how can i fix this?

this means i can't attach photos from iphoto to emails for example, how can I remedy it?

Of course you can, just remember that iphoto replaces the finder. It's the manager for your photos.
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

Hello, i got a new iPad and i want to use iTunes U. It is on my iPad but i can not open It. Want should i do¿ Thank you

Bello, i got a new iPad and i wanted to use iTunes U. I instale debut i can not open It. What should i do. Thank you

Hello Tuka66,
It sounds like you have installed the iTunes U app, but it is not working for you. I would try the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you may be asked to purchase the app again. Learn more about downloading previously purchased items.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

HT201493 can 2 pepole use find my friends on 2 devices with the same apple id

My wife and I are connected to the same Apple ID we would like to use Find My Friends to follow each other but only one of use shows up on the map,

The app should locate both phones if they are using the same iCloud account and the app is signed into the account. If they are using different account, sign out, then sign back in with the other account to track the other phone.
If one of them isn't showing and you're signed into the correct iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on the phone in question and turn Find My iPhone Off, then back On.

I used Finder to organise my iMovie events into folders. In iMovie I can see the folders but the software says there are no events present. What can i do?

I used Finder to organise my iMovie events into folders. In iMovie I can see the folders but the software says there are no events in the folders. What can I do to rectify?

Very carefully use Finder to move the Events back to the top level of the Movies/iMovie Events folder. iMovie will not see them if they are nested in Folders.
If they are on an external drive, move them to the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the drive.
However, you can put iMovie projects in folders if you want.
It is best to do all moves and renames in iMovie so you do not destroy the links in your Projects. However, you need to move your events back to where they were in the Finder sonce iMovie cannot see them.

TS3276 I need feedback for the following issue. When I send email from this 27 inch iMac, the computer adds a string of characters in vertical column that represents the QWERTY key board, all alpha numeric characters are included. Yahoo mail, issue only o

Restating my issue / question...
When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Issue using "Find" in Bridge to search external drive

When using "Find" in Bridge (version 2.1.1.9) in CS3 to search for files on an external hard drive I must either check "Include Non-Indexed Files" or go to the external drive and build the cache for the folders I want to search. Otherwise the files will not be found.
Having to build the cache in the external drive or use non-indexed search slows down the search process. Is there a way around this. Bridge preferences are set to "Automatically Export Caches to Folders". I use SyncBack for back up to the external drive.

Thank you for the reply. I thought that once the cache is built and exported to a folder, that folder would be indexed and ready for a search by Find. And when copying that folder to another drive the files would remain indexed and available to a search by Find on that drive.
I have not copied the central cache to the external drive. So I assume that when using Find to search the external drive it is looking at the caches in each folder on that drive.

Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro: Cannot find or create the font 'Arial'.

I have two workstations both running Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro, both have the font Arial installed and working just fine in other applications.
I have a pdf file from a customer which opens fine in one workstation, the other workstation gives the following error and shows all text in the pdf as "dots".
Cannot find or create the font 'Arial'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
I've Googled "Cannot find or create the font" and find this problem has been reported in Adobe forums and elsewhere in several previous versions of Adobe Acrobat. Nowhere is the problem resolved... most responses suggest the font Arial is not installed which is not helpful as the Arial font is indeed working fine in other applications.
Windows XP/ Adobe CS3 / Adobe 8.1.2 Professional
Thanks,
SC

I am having the same problem Sam is. I only see dots in my document and received the same error mesage only I was using a different font. The font is installed on y system and usable in other documents.
I tried to change the font (dots) to a different font but received an error messge stating the change could not be done because the "chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved"
Please help!
Thanks so much!
