  • Weird Symbols in my Tabs?

    The Problem: There are weird symbols in my tabs that I don't know how to get rid of. They are highlighted in pink, which indicates to me that they are an unrecognized font or symbol. I cannot figure out how to get rid of them and return my tabs to normal display.
    The Process: While adding tabs I decided that I wanted an unbroken line between columns, and tried to figure out how to do that. While messing around I right-clicked Leader>Insert Unicode Control Character and selected one of the options. (I don't know which) I think it was after that that the funny symbols appeared. Now I just want white space in between columns/on tabs and I can't figure out how to get rid of those pinked-out symbols.

    Tried it. Found out it was the same font as text surrounding it. (Adobe Garamound Pro, Regular and Italic) Changed one segmant to Airal and instead of the pink text, it was replaced with this T-like symbols with arrows on top: (circled in blue)
    Hopefully this will now clue someone in to what's going on.

  • Score printed with weird symbol helpp

    the notes on the score turned to be some weird symbol, but the staff's still there
    and the score's looking pretty fine on my macbk, it just went nuts when i printed it out
    is it the prob of the pdf/preview setting or sth else?
    any thoughts?

    I've heard of this issue with laser printers, and it usually involves fonts not being loaded correctly. This is the first I've heard of it being a problem with an inkjet. Hmmm...
    Here are some thing to try (in order, test printing after each):
    1) Restart both printer and computer
    2)Download and install the latest HP printer driver for your printer from HP's website
    3) Create a new (admin) user account and see if the problem exists there.
    4) Report back here

  • Weirdness happening on my Mac. Please help!

    Everyone,
    Please help. I've tried a lot of things this week to get this stupid weirdness out of my mac but it still won't go away. It's like someone's clicking on my mac or a keyboard key is stuck when i'm typing. I don't know what else to do. I uninstalled my browsers except for safari and it went away for about an hour then it came back. I tried disconnecting my internet and it was still there so I doubt anyone else is accessing my system. Kindly view what's happening on my computer on this video I posted on youtube from screenflow. I'm hoping to get some help from you guys.

    Can you identify the symbol using the above guide?
    (Note that I am a representative of the organization of the above link, which is not endorsed by Apple).
    Just a friendly comment that the list described on this link is incomplete.  If you are a rep of the site, you should update it to include additional symbols, such as the personal hotspot icon, the LTE icon, and the bluetooth device battery level icon.

  • New itunes license agreement in weird symbols

    i'm not going to accept a license agreement written in boxes and other weird symbols. is there a fix for this?

    In the 'Apple Software Update' program, I'm also getting this little blurb below the availabe software list that describes the new iTunes as such:
    'Rent and download your favorite movies with iTunes on your computer or directly to your living room on Apple TV. Enjoy rented movies in sizes up to 720p HD with surround sound on your Apple TV and sizes up to DVD-quality on your computer. Transfer your rented movies from iTunes to your iPod or iPhone and enjoy them on the go.
    Also, purchase and download your favorite TV shows, music, and more directly on your Apple TV. Effortlessly transfer purchases made on Apple TV back to your computer with iTunes.'
    Is this indeed the case for Canadians? (That would be sweet, of course, but I'm doubtful). I should just accept and find out, I suppose.

  • Weird Symbol On Cover Page

    I have a new book in iPhoto 11 ready to order but there remains a weird symbol on the cover page outside the normal text box. I can't delete it and it shows up in the preview, pfd view, and slideshow view so I am not ready to pay for the book until I figure out how to remove it. It look like the bottom half of a capital "A". There doesn't seem to be any text box tho edit.
    Any thoughts?

    Same here, but I'm stuck with a lowercase f on the cover. (lower right corner)
    It seems to be part of the background.
    When I change the layout to a full page image, even with a text field, the annoying f is hidden.
    All other layouts show the unremovable f.
    Every form of preview shows it as well.
    Help appreciated...

  • Macbook Keyboard Only Types Weird Symbols

    Yesterday my macbook all of a sudden started typing only weird symbols. Every key pressed provides these weird symbols. I have searched for answers on how to fix this but none seem to work:
    I have plugged in an external keyboard and that works, so it isn't the OS/software, it is the laptops keyboard.
    I have cleaned the "alt keys" in case they were sticking.
    I have checked my preferences and the US American Flag is selected.
    I am completely open to starting from scratch and resetting the entire system but it doesn't appear to be a solution to this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. I can bring it into a apple store but was hoping I could figure it out through here first.
    Thank you.

    Odd!
    Has anything been spilled on the computer at any point in time? Are you under warranty?
    I missed the bit about the external keyboard working. You may have a hardware issue that needs repair or replacement.
    If you computer has a removable battery, save your work, connect the AC adapter then remove the battery. Does the keyboard still act strangely with the keyboard removed?

  • Weird symbol on some of my macbook pro

    A couple of my key is acting strangely and I don't know why, when I press (such as the a) it give me weird symbol (the q give me a bunch of nonsense word). All of my other key is fine but only 4 or 5 of them is acting this way. I look around and had try using the cap, control/option and all the f key but that does not seem to solve the problem. My macbook is no longer under warranty so I can't go there for help as it would be crazy expensive. Can someone please help. If I do take it to an professional either the apple store or any computer repair place, how much would you think it cost to fix this problem

  • Weird Symbol with Startup! Help!!

    Hello! I've got a 2005 iMac G5 (no iSight) and i'm running OSX 10.3.9.
    For the past three days, when i try to start up my iMac, a weird symbol appears that resembles a gray square with a globe in the center of it. It will blink for about 10-15 seconds and then it will change to a blinking file with a question mark over it.
    I've got a feeling this has something to do with my wireless network, but i'm not sure what? Is it possible that a setting that got changed on a PC in the network is causing this? Please let me know ASAP and thanks for your help!
    -Dave

    You should press the X key as soon as you hear the startup chime; alternatively, you can hold down the Option key at the same time, select your hard disk in the list, and push the button with the straight arrow. In this case, you will need to reselect your hard disk as the startup disk from the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

  • Speakers no longer working on Mac- weird symbol won't let me change volume

    Hello
    First off, I am not super computer savy!
    My mac's internal speakers are no longer working. The volume control has faded in color, and when I try to press the volume buttons on the keyboard, it won't let me change the volume and there is a weird circle with a line through it. When I reboot the computer makes the reboot sound. I have tried tinkering around with the system preferences, but it is not muted, and it won't let me adjust the volume at all. This happened once before, the other day. Came out of nowhere and started working after about 10 minutes. Any suggestions! Much appreciated

    Hi,
    What output do you receive if you enter this command in the Terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app):
    <pre>codesign -vvv Safari.app</pre>
    If Safari has been modified, such as by a Safari enhancer program, this command should inform you.
    If that is the case, try reinstalling the Safari package from the 10.5 installer DVD. This article relates to reinstalling Safari from the 10.4 DVD, but the principle is the same.
