Why does non-ASCII text display improperly?

One of the things that has long baffled me about OS X is the occasionally improper display of text on web sites. Sometimes, though less than before, the Mac still can't properly diplay non-ASCII characters. Today, for instance, I bought a GPS from Amazon, and the word nüvi has junk characters where the umlaut "ü" should be, as the text image below should show. Why is this? Is there a setting that corrects the problem?

Hi Yawder, do you want to file a bug report on the problem that when Firefox generates the faux bold face for Droid Sans Mono it is doing a bad job compared with other browsers?

TS1398 Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon?

Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon? I have implemented ALL of the troubleshooting tips, but my WiFi icon is still missing, and it will NOT recognize the internet connection that I know to work on my computer and iPhone.

Try the following:
1. Reset the AirPlay devices

Why does my preferred desktop display immediately switch to another display when I open an icon on the current desktop?

why does my preferred desktop display immediately switch horizontally to another display when I open an icon on the current desktop?

That's not a shortcut you are creating with "save as", you are saving a copy of the webpage to your desktop - hence the folder with files for that webpage.

Why does the time transport display start at 1 hour in LPX

Hi, I'm new to Logic Pro X and I am really confused about something. In the transport (or control bar, whatever) display, with it set at TIME, why does it keep defaulting to 01:00:00.000 instead of all zeros? I am recording voice, and as I hit the one hour mark of recording, it actually indicates two hours. Why and how can I fix this? Thanks, Al

Blueberry, thanks for the reply, however, it just doesn't make sense. In Garageband, the beginning of the audio track is 0. When I've recorded an hours worth of audio, Garageband will show 01:00:00.000. But in LPX, that isn't true. At one hour, it will show 02:00:00.000. It seems illogical to me.

Depends on what "not display clearly" means.

Why does the ringer volume display frequently on 3gs

Why does the ringer volume keep displaying on my 3gs? Seems it may do this when the phone is picked up or shaken.

This just happened to me today. The ringer volume display just remains on screen. Tried hard rese, nothing. It happened right after I dropped my 3GS - of which I've done many times but had not affected it because of the silicone case taking the brunt of the shock. Hope someone has a solution to this.

Why does a "script' text in design appear as non script (block) in browser preview in CS5 on a Mac?

I have amended text within the design field and selected "Brush Script MT Italic. In the design view in Dreamweaver CS5 it appears in this script but when I preview it either in Dreamweaver "preview in browser" or after uploading and viewing in browser the text appears in a non script format.
The source code is :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a test.</p>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
And the linked CSS style sheet reads:
@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
p {
font:"Brush Script MT Italic";
I am using a Mac with Lion OS. I have tried many script font but the result is the same.

There are only a minimal amount of web safe fonts to be used in your webpage design. Frush Script MT Italic is not one. What happens is it might display on the computer that has that font, but on a person web browsing computer, if the font is not installed, then it will use the default font (usually times new roman or equivelant on Mac). It is best to stick with the web safe fonts (google it) unless you use the font in a graphic.

Why does my font/text change when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D in After Effects?

My font/text changes when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D. Why is it doing this? Also, I cant get the font/txt to look the same after I switch from Classic to Ray traced. How can I get it to look the same?

I am pretty new to After Effects so I hope it's not my inexperience that's causing the problem. (It probably is)
I just updated to the most current version of AE.
I am on a mac pro late 2013 12GB 6 core. Running OSX 10.9.4
Okay so after looking at it a little closer, I think the color is what mostly changes. The first screenshot is the what the text look like with Classic 3D and the second screenshot is what it looks like after I change it to Ray traced 3D. Also under the "Mode" section..the pull down that says "Normal" disappears. I'm wondering why the font color is changing?

Why Does Apple TV3 Slideshow Display iPhotos in Incorrect Order?

I have an Apple TV3 connected to my Mac running OS X 10.9.3. The Apple TV3 is connected wirelessly to the Mac. I have several questions:
Why can I not show Slideshows I have created in iPhoto on my Mac on the Apple TV3? I can only show iPhoto Albums from the Mac on the Apple TV. I have spent considerable time preparing a large number of iPhoto Slideshows and am frustrated and disappointed that they cannot be shown on my TV. Apple did not mention this lack of capability in their advertising, saying that slideshows can be shown seamlessly from the Mac to the TV. Is there any way to show iPhoto Slideshows on the Apple TV3??
When I use the 'slideshow' application on the Apple TV3 to view the photos in iPhoto Albums, pictures will randomly show up out of order. I cannot tell if there is a structure to the appearance. Sometimes a photo from day 4 of a trip will randomly show up on day 1, while later a photo from day 2 will show up again on day 6. Again, this is very frustrating when showing photos to family and friends, the prime reason why I bought the Apple TV3. Why is this random display occurring? How do I stop it?
I have videos from my cameras inserted into the Slideshows and Albums in iPhoto, which run as intended on my Mac without any problems. However the videos will not show up on the 'slideshow' in Apple TV3. Again, why not, and is there a way to show them on the TV?
I am a computer layperson, so I would greatly appreciate a response in simple English, without the jargon, if possible. I quite often have difficulty in understanding the responses in the threads for other topics.
Thank you in advance for any responses.

Actually, this is incorrect. You must have a direct reference to the component instance to access the clientId. Filling in a String value that matches the for="..." attribute in h:message does not work. Furthermore, since UIComponent.getClientId requires a FacesContext instance argument, you end up with something like this:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(
this.getComponent().getClientId(
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
new FacesMessage( "This is not I18N!")
V/s this:
this.getComponent().addMessage( "i18nKey");
I do agree that JSF needs some input to get better. Hence this post.

Why does macbook pro retina display shows 512 mb?

i have bought a macbook pro retina and ofcourse its 1gb display card but when i check about info ( about this mac ) it shows 512 mb instead 1 gb. why?

There are two GPUs in the retina MacBook Pro. One is the Intel HD Graphics 4000 and the other is the Nvidia GeForce GT 650M. The Intel GPU has 512Mb and the NVIDIA GPU has 1GB. The Intel GPU does not use a lot of power but is not as powerful as the NVIDIA one. The OS automatically switches between the two depending on what you are doing on the machine unless you disable the auto-switching.
You can get much more detailed report about your system including the graphics hardware by selecting "About This Mac" under the Apple menu then clicking on the "More Info..." button then the "System Report" button. The Graphics/Displays section under hardware in the window will show you both GPUs.

TS4268 Why does ALL my text incoming or outgoing text showes up on all my IPod & Iphone

I have an IPod and Iphone and all the text goes to both of the Device . Why ??? Also i can't send IMessaging on my Ipod

Because you are using the same Apple ID as an iPhone which has iOS 6.
One the iPod you can only send Messages to others uses who have Messages on their iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
You can
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on ther iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Why does Firefox no longer display .php suffix web pages which are in my Mac?

I have a question about Firefox 14.0.1 displaying .php suffix web page files which are in a Mac running Mountain Lion OS 10.8. In eaarlier versions of Mac OS, for example 10.4.7, I was able to see properly displayed web page files with .html and .php suffixes when those web page files were in my computer. I refer to seeing the page as it should properly display, not seeing the source code. If a page had a .php suffix, the browser displayed the page properly although any php scripts embedded in that page were ignored.
Apple occasionallly updated its OS and browser makers occasionally updated browsers. One day, I noticed that Safari no longer displayed web page files in my Mac if those pages had a .php suffix. However, Firefox and other browsers continued to display web page files with .php suffixes although the embedded php scripts were ignored.
Now, I have Mountain Lion in iMac.
I can no longer see .php suffix web page files in my computer regarless of the browser I use. No browser displays those pages.
A .php suffix web page file which Firefox and other browsers display in 10.4.7 does not display in 10.8 if that web page file is in the computer.
In my computer, I have html and php suffix web page files I want to see using a browser. The files I want to see and the browser both are in my computer. Html files display perfectly with one exception: if php scripts are embedded in the html files, the scripts are ignored. A file the name of which ends with ".php" will not be displayed regardless of whether there is a php script in the file. Safari displays the source code only. Chrome does not display the file at all. Firefox and SeaMonkey, which displayed .php suffix web page files in earlier versions of the Mac OSm now respond to such pages by providing a dialog box which seems to assume that the file is about to be downloaded from the Internet. The dialog box asks me if I want to use the browser to open the file or if I want to save it to disk. The file is on the disk at the time, and the computer is disconnected from the Internet. I click that I want to use the browser to open the file. Then the dialong box reopens with the same question. This happens over and over. I never get to see a web page file in my computer the name of which ends with ".php". With Firefox 14.0.1, I can see .php suffix web pages which are on the Internet or in a 10.4.7 Mac but not in a 10.8 Mac. Did I miconfigure Firefox? It seems unlikely that Firefox lost the ability to display pages in Mac OS 10.8 which it displays in `10.4.7. How can I solve this web page display problem?

Haroon mentions two solutions. I used the easier one, which is to start the Apache webserver already in Mountain Lion and to enable the php already in Mountain Lion. It worked. I see the file correctly displayed with html, css, and php. I see the page by using Firefox. I enter an address in the address bar. For example, the address might be "localhost/example/example.php". I cannot see the page by using Firefox's "Open File ..." menu option or by dragging the file's icon onto Firefox's icon. I tried using your solution also but was unable to find the specific preference to modify. I found the page of preferences which may be modified but I could not find the one I need. I found a list of descriptions of the preferences at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries
but I could not find the specific preference which I need.
By the way, to enable loading the php module, one uncomments a line of code by deleting the initial "#" character, and one does that by pressing control key and "P" key while the cursor is over the "#" character.
Also by the way, when I use Firefox or Safari to look at the Apache web directory in which my files are, the files are listed case sensitively. For example, the files are listed: Ace, Zygote, bar. This is because lower case follows upper case. THis annoys me. I prefer case insensitive listing. When I llok directly athe directory without using a browser, the files are listed case insensitively. For example, they are listed: Ace, bar, Zygote. I guess taht Apache is doing this.

Why does my G4 ibook display only work when it's partially open?

The display on my iBook G4 shows no video until I nearly close the lid. I can then see the display working but it is at an extreme angle. I'm thinking that it must be a contact problem, but cannot find any forum or troubleshooting support that address this issue. Does anyone know of a procedure to check and repair this?
Thanks in advance,
Randy

Randy,
I have repaired those inverter cables. The break is usually at the hinge point and often it's the red wire that breaks. If you open up the iBook (bottom case, top case (Be very careful with the power lead, it's easy to rip the socket off the logic board. I don't even attempt to unplug it, just free up the speaker cables and the power lead (blue and white) by pulling it free from the adhesive) and the top shield. (lots of patience required here to keep from bending the shield esp. near the top left). Often I'll just leave it connected and tape it to the display. You have to tease the inverter cable out and might have to remove the display to get full access. Note carefully how the cable is routed around the hinge. I tease the silver tape apart (often you can see the break - big black burned spot) so then I solder it back together, lots of tiny shrink tubing.
When I remove the top or bottom shield I'll tape the individual screws right to the shield near where they belong. 3M blue for this. That way reassembly is a no brainer. I used to measure the screw length w/ a metric rule and that took forever.
I also use a "black stick" that I made from a #3 black nylon propeller from the hobby shop. I cut it in half and tape the cut ends w/ self fusing electrical tape. The black stick is essential to releasing the tabs that hold the case together. Don't forget to release the one inside the battery compartment as I often find that one broken off in iBooks that come in for donation.
More if you email me but I won't be back in the shop until Saturday night.
