Why are Apple Apps opening in Japanese Fonts!!!

I've been having the wierd situation where apps like the Automator, Key Access, etc. start opening up in Japanese fonts. when I try to open the Font Book to work on them, it will not open, i just get an error message asking if I want to retry opening it, which never works.
Any ideas????

Then I went back to automator, and now it was in
French, which was the new #2 language!
So I think there's something wrong with my english
settings, although most apps do appear in English,
just a few apple ones.
Did you also do this as recommended earlier?
"Do Get Info on the icon for any program affected and hit the Languages tab and make sure English is checked and Japanese is not checked. "
Also create another account and see if the same problem exists. If not, it probably means you have bad caches or .plists in the main account.
What may have happened is that you have lost (or lost access to) the English localization files for those particular apps. You might try repairing permissions, and if that doesn't work perhaps reinstalling the apps.
Will Fontbook work from another account?

  • Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

    Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

  • Why are most apps only for apple products?

    Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
    why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?

    I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
    Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there.  Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
    iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple.  Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
    I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development.

  • Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a full GB more than what it should.

    Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
    For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
    Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
    This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
    I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
    I link to a mac computer.
    I have IOS version 6.1.3
    I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
    Please help!!

    Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

  • Why are my apps no longer on my iPad?

    Why are my apps no longer on my iPad after downloading latest iTunes and installing?

    Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
    If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
    If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads.

  • Why are my apps taking a long time to update both on my phone and iPad?

    Why are my apps taking a long time to update both on my phone and iPad?

    Hi ariasm21,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the App Store on your iPhone seems unresponsive or app updates are not completing, try the steps below.
    First force close the apps using these steps:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    These steps come from this article:
    iOS: Force an app to close

    Next, restart your device:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Try updating an app again. If the issues persist, you may want to troubleshoot your internet connection next:

    All the best,

  • Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

    Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
    Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
    - a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
    - other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
    I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
    I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
    This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

    Why are my apps not downloading? They just sit there waiting and I keep getting an error saying that my purchases cannot be downloaded at this time and to try again later. I have tried logging out and in, and rebooting but neither has worked

    Same problem here.  Not able to update any apps or to download new purchased music.  Doesn't work on iPad, iPhone, or iTunes.  Tried with 3G download rather than wifi on the phone and iPad.  It still hasn't worked.  I changed me credit card, but without success.

  • Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?

    Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?  I bought 4 apps, then had to reset my iPad, later when trying to download them back onto the iPad, they were not listed under by Purchased apps in my account in iTunes.  Thanks for any help!

    Plug in your iPhone to iTunes on your Computer, let it sync the games onto the Computer, then plug in your iPad and go to Apps in iTunes and select the apps then apply and it will download them to the iPad :)
    If you have trouble when in Apps in iTunes on your Computer, it will say iPhone and iPod touch Apps. Hope this helps!!

    Could be anything from a chargeback, or your card is junk depending on what it is. Using the word debit card isn't realy descriptive, and can many mean many, many different things.
