Why aren't handwritten chinese characters showing up in applications?

I'm on a 13" MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.9.4. I have activated [Pinyin - Simplified] in my input sources, and I have activated the option for TrackPad handwriting. Typing the pinyin and choosing the right character works fine, but I haven't been able to input chinese characters into any document via the trackpad writing method. I am able to pull up the "slate" thing, write, and choose a character, but the character just doesn't show up in the application. I've tried it with TextEdit, Word, and Safari.

  • I have Chinese Characters showing up on the top of my Firefox page.

    The Chinese Characters have been showing up for a couple of months. I have tried using various Virus Detecting programs such as MalewareBites but they don't seem to fix the problem. These Chinese Characters show up on the initial Firefox Search Screen as well as my ANZ Bank and Ancestry.com.au webpages just to name a few. How can I get rid of them. These Chinese Characters don't appear on Google or Internet Explore. If this can't be fixed I may have to stop using Firefox and use Google or Internet Explorer. I have tried attaching an image of this problem but it appears I am unable to.

    Hi, this is a known problem with McAfee Site Adviser, so if you are using it, that could be the cause. [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/76071?tstart=0 Here's a link to their forum], and [http://service.mcafee.com/faqdocument.aspx?id=TS100162 here's instructions] for removing it - should you wish to.
    Hope that helps.

  • Chinese characters show up as white boxes when doing captions

    I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a late 2013 MacBook Pro. I am trying to add Traditional Chinese subtitles to my video. I have imported a .dfxp file and added it to the timeline on V2 above my video track on V1. I have rendered the timeline. I have activated the closed captioning display. When I view the .dfxp file in the Captions Window, I can see the Chinese characters in the text boxes with their associated in and out points on the timeline. THE PROBLEM: IN THE PROGRAM MONITOR WINDOW, THE CHINESE CHARACTERS SHOW UP AS WHITE BOXES INSTEAD OF THE CHINESE CHARACTERS.
    I have added all of the available Chinese fonts from Adobe Typekit. I have restarted Premiere to see if adding these fonts did anything to help. It did not. My question: how can I get the Chinese characters to appear instead of the white boxes?
    Here's what it looks like:

    Thanks for the post -- I'd file a bug report on this.

  • Why aren't my scanned photos showing up in iphoto? I have an HP scanner with the option to import directly to iphoto. It says "sending to destination" but it never gets to iphoto. I scanned hundreds of photos several months and it worked fine - now it won

    Why aren't my scanned photos showing up in iphoto? I have an HP scanner with the option to import directly to iphoto. It says "sending to destination" but it never gets to iphoto. I scanned hundreds of photos several months and it worked fine with the photos going directly into iphoto - now it won't work. Any suggestions?

    As the feature is part of your scanner set up nd not iPhoto, you'd need to ask the makers of that for help.

  • Japanese or Chinese characters showing up in contextual menu (right click)

    Whenever I right click inside a Firefox (v 3.6.17) window, there are three (3) menu picks at the very bottom of the contextual menu that are displayed in either Japanese or Chinese characters. How do I fix this?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Cannot Input and Display Chinese Characters by using ODBC Applications

    Dear all,
    I am trying to input the Simplified Chinese Characters in the Oracle Database Ver 9.2 running on a UNIX AIX server. The client application we are using is th MS Access 2003 running on a MS Windows XP English version SP 2 without multi-language pack. MS Office 2003 is also an English version.
    Database setting is:
    NLS_CHARACTERSET=US7ASCII
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET=AL16UTF16
    The Oracle Client used is also ver 9.2 with the ODBC driver ver 9.2. I have tried the following NLS_LANG settings by chaging the registry without any NLS_LANG environment settings:
    AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16MSWIN950
    AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK
    AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16HKSCS
    AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
    I have tied to load some Chinese Characters in by sqlload and by using the NLS_LANG AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16MSWIN950, AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK and AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16HKSCS, they can be display perfectly in SQLPLUS. But when using the same NLS_LANGs and display in the ACCESS, only ???? are displayed.
    When I tried to insert Chinese in ACCESS, the character changed to ???? again. No matter what Chinese characters I inserted by MS ACCESS, the ???? code can be dump with the binary code "03, 0f".
    Are there any methods or settings I need to change to make ACCESS an application for inserting and displaying Chinese characters from the Oracle database?
    I have tried to set the Non-Unicode setting in the Windows Locale setting:
    Chinese (Taiwan) (With AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16MSWIN950),
    Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R) (with AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16HKSCS) and
    Chinese (PRC) (with AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK)
    when inserting the Chinese Characters by Access. But they all failed with ???? inserted in the DB.
    Please kindly advise what should be done.
    Thanks.

    Are you trying to store the character data in char/varchar2 columns?
    If that's the case then you have a problem, since a US7ASCII character set can only handle, well, ascii data.
    If you are trying to store the data in columns of nchar datatypes, then there might be a problem with literals because literals are converted to database character set first, before conversion to national (nchar) character set. Such data loss can also happen depending on how binds or oci calls are performed.
    You could use the dump() function to verify what's actually stored in a database column, without a db - client conversion happening that may distort the facts.
    Example:
    SQL> select col, dump(col, 1016) from table where some_condition;

  • Why won't Chinese characters show after copying from Abobe Reader?

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe Reader 9 to read a pdf of a Chinese grammar book. I tried copying the characters and pinyin from the pdf into  Mnemosyne to use for studying, however, it just comes up blank. I did it for another pdf and it comes up with weird characters. I downloaded the Chinese Simplified support and it does the same thing even after restarting my computer. Both pdfs allow for copying and were created with Adobe Distiller 7. I don't know what the problem is, but I would very much appreciate any help so I can get to studying.
    Thank you,

  • Why aren't my bookmark folders showing up as options in the "page bookmarked" window?

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 18 and when I go to make a new bookmark folder I can see it in the bookmarks menu under "show all bookmarks" but when I'm trying to bookmark a page while browsing the folders are not showing up in the pulldown menu on the "page bookmarked" window.
    I can't use Choose to find the folders either
    I can then go back and manually drag the pages over but that's annoying.

    The drop-down shows a few recently used folders. If you expand the folder using the button to the right of the drop-down, can you find the new folder on the full list?

  • Why aren't all the products showing up in my application manager

    I know there is probably a simple answer to this but for some reason not all of the CC products are showing up in my application manager. Here is a list of the products that I do have access to right now:
    Photoshop
    InDesign
    Flash Pro
    Fireworks
    Muse
    Audition
    Prelude
    Flash builder
    Acrobat
    Touch apps
    Exchange Panel

    If the applications are not appearing in the Adobe Application Manager then it is because your current computer does not meet the minimum system requirements.  Please see http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tech-specs.html to reference the specific system requirements for the missing applications such as After Effects and Premiere.  You must meet or exceed all of the listed system requirements before the programs will be made available for download.

  • Why aren't my Lightroom files showing as able to import/edit in Photoshop Touch?

    Hello,
    Perhaps this is a stupid questions but I have several photos I have uploaded to Creative Cloud from Lightroom 5.6.  I needed to make some minor edits (hopefully using Photoshop Touch) but when I logged into the Creative Cloud in Photoshop Touch, it says i only have 2GB of space and I don't see any of my Lightroom photos.  Only the photos I had already been editing in Photoshop Touch.  Is the Creative Cloud segregated such that only photos I open in Photoshop will be available to Photoshop Touch via the Creative Cloud?
    Thanks,

    I totally forgot that Lightroom Mobile more-or-less works as an extension of Lightroom for the desktop. Sync'ing in Lightroom Mobile essentially syncs with your Lightroom projects on the desktop.
    Still, depending on the file format, you should be able to open an image that was worked on in Lightroom, even if it's in RAW. (PS Touch can work with RAW files but they have to be uploaded to Creative Cloud first; also, RAW file support seems rudimentary; any adjustments made in Lightroom or Camera Raw do not show up in the original RAW file since those are stored separately in either the Camera Raw/Lightroom database or an XMP sidecar file.)

  • Why aren't my purchased songs showing up in the purchased playlist

    When I buy a song from iTunes on my iPhone 5, it shows up in my library but not the "purchased" playlist. I didn't have this problem with my iPhone 4S. Is there a setting that needs to be changed so it shows up under purchased? I didn't have this problem on th iPhone 4S.

    I too am having this problem. Its really frustrating. In fact i have my setting to have all music on my phone however the phone displays I have 2986 and the itunes reads 2987. I'm one off on this area. In addition some of my purchased music does not show in my purchased list on the phone. It does show on the itunes account on the computer and in the overall albums just not in the purchased. I drug the purchased song from the albums to the purchased playlist and tried to have it re-sync... did not work.. I tryed re-booting the phone, and restoring from back up all failed.
    Another problem I have found since the IOS7 updates is the phone doesn't keep my music where it was when I get out of my car. I used to love that I would get out of the car in the middle of my playlist go in the store come out and it would pick up right where it left off. Now I get back in the car and it begins playing random music of all my entire library. I love all my music however I don't want to listen to Christmas and Halloween music all the time. I don't want to remove these from the phone as I want them always available. I just want the function to go back to how it was.
    Oh and the last thing, sometimes when I turn my phone sideways and am listening to music the collage of albums shows but freezes so I cant turn the phone back and change the music. I like having the capablility of turning the phone to see pictures and things auto turn but not this collage of albums if it's gonna delay me swictching or skipping songs.
    Any ideas for these issues? Is apple aware and working on these?

  • HT1391 Why aren't my past purchases showing in iTunes (music) after restore on my iPad??

    I "lost" my purchase history on iTunes after a warranty replacement on my iPad.  The store is only showing songs and albums I purchased after I received the New device... I just want to get all the music back I purchased in the last couple years... I must be missing 8 or 9 complete albums and dozens of single songs...

    Hi Kim,
    OK, so when you click on the Music tab in your Purchased window, are you then clicking on "All Songs" or "Recent Purchases"? Until you do that, nothing will show up.
    My Music tab before I click on All Songs or Recent Purchases:
    My Music tab after I click on All Songs:
    Hope that is what it is!
    Cheers,

  • Why do I see Chinese Characters in my download window?

    I downloaded an album and I saw that this was being downloaded.  Any ideas what it is?  I stopped the download.

    possible name server issues. A process that keeps track of the devices on the network.
    To rename your Apple TV, please follow these steps:
    Go to "Settings"
    Select "General"
    Scroll down to "Name"
    You can choose their pre-set names, or set your own by going to "Custom..."
    Type in the name you desire with the keyboard, and click submit
    If that doesn't do it I would try restarting your Wireless router & devices on wi-fi network starting with any computers first.

  • Why aren't my adobe webfonts showing correctly in Chrome version 37?

    web sites in trouble are www.ironmengolf.com and www.insideandoutpropertyinspectors.com
    Please help me understand how to get them to display properly.

  • Why aren't my downloaded apps showing up on my iPad?

    This has been happening for a couple of weeks now: when I purchase/download an app on my iPad, it does not appear anywhere. I use the search bar but nothing comes up. I go to the App store, find the specific app, and press the "open" button, but nothing happens. Even apps I have deleted then re-downloaded from the cloud do not appear. I have searched the internet and can't seem to find someone with a similar problem. What's going on? 

    Try disable all restrictions.
