Webpages often show foreign language even after English made preference. How do I fix that?

When I go to websites, the text is in either a foreign language or wingdings. I never know when this will happen. Web sites that have never done this before are now doing it. I have to close Firefox and use Internet Explorer which I don't like. I have gone to options and made English (US) my preference, restarted the computer, but no change. This happens on websites I use often. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thank you.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size. 
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead. 
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller. 
 
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem. 
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.

If it is doing it while your device is plugged in, it is because it is set to automatically sync. Please go to: Preferences>Devices, and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." Also, I hate to be "that guy", but you spelt extremely wrong. Just a pro tip.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My sound notification for texts goes off but my text takes a minute before it shows up in my conversation with someone. How can I fix that?

My phone will tell I have a text from a person and when I open it up there is no text. The text doesn't load for a minute so I close it wait a little bit then reopen the conversation and then the text will be in there. It seems to happen with people who have iPhones so through iMessage. It's really annoying to have to wait for a text to load.

Take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty replacement for it.

So I bought a song but it stops after 17 seconds. How do I fix that?

It says it plays it all the way through but its not and I dont know how to fix it and I don't want to rebuy it.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

When syncing iPhone the message in iTunes is in a foreign language, even though iTunes is set to English.

I just got my first iPhone. I plugged it into my pc (I already have iPod/iTunes) and registered the product. The screen that came up immediately after registering the product is all in a Asian/character language, even though English is the set language for both the iPhone and iTunes...what is going on?! It offers me two buttons to click, but given I can't understand either I'm not clicking anything yet. I have disconnected and reconnected the iPhone several times.

did you find out the answer??? mine is in German! help

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

My husband gave me his iPod touch, even after resetting all settings, and even though I have a user name and password whenever I need to update apps it shows his previous user name, and is asking for his password. How do I fix that?

Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right. It does show my user name. It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password. Everything in iTunes and my account looks right. The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store. One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on. You can change that by going to Settings>Store. Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

I have a Photopshop Elements 10.0 on my Mac, I purchased it in English, did an upgrade of my Mac to OS Yosemite and suddenly the language of Photoshop is German. How can I fix this ?

I have found another solution. I upgraded to Yosemite and found the the App Store version of PSE 10 (which didn't change) was suddenly in German. Close PSE if it is open. Use the Finder and go to the PSE 10 application in the Applications folder. Right click (or ctl-click) on it and select "Show Package Contents". Then go to Contents>Locales and delete the de_DE folder. (I imagine you could also rename it to something starting with a letter after "e". I think PSE is probably using the first language it comes to in this Locale folder.) Start PSE. It worked for me. Hope this helped.

ITunes will no longer download. It says it has not been correctly localized for this language, and to run the English version. How do I do that?

My iTunes will no longer download.
All of a sudden I get the message "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version".
How do I fix this and run the English version again? .

Start by trying to repair iTunes from the programs and features control panel.
Otherwise, for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Hey KEBENNETT,
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally.
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

Hi lepyykko,
If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right? The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer. Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
