Yosemite doesn't recognize special characters in password when logging in

Hi everyone,
I installed Yosemite yesterday on my mid-2011 MBA and discovered that after restarting it, I was unable to log into it. First, I'd like to precise that I'm using a French keyboard, it could have an importance afterwards.
The password I use for my account is quite complex and uses a special character. Until now, it worked perfectly, but I discovered that, on Yosemite, I have to type twice the special character and the one after, in order to get it worked. Otherwise, it acts like if I haven't typed these two.
Also, this behavior is kind of weird because if I log out, I don't have the issue: it works perfectly. So the issue is just after a shut down/restart.
The only way I could restart the first time was by using the tool made from Apple when you loose your password (pressing the power button until it shuts down). Once my laptop entered that mode, I could just type my current password and choose a new one. But still, I don't get why it works on every screen, except the one after a shut down/restart.
I hope Apple could bring a quick fix for that because it's really annoying. Also, if someone gets the same issue, try to type twice the special character(s) and maybe the one(s) that is/are just after.
Bye.

A password is classified as an oracle identifier and must conform to the rules for indentifiers. To include special characters you need to enclose it in double quotes e.g. "vos1s05!"

When i try to change the password from say : vos1s05 to : vos1s05! i get the error message (missing or invalid option), i have used several special characters and all give the same error, is there a way to circumvent this, or will this be enabled in a new release ??

ICloud doesn't recognize my Apple id password

I just changed my Apple id password because someone else was listed under my email. After doing that, my icloud accound doesn't recognize my apple id password. FYI, when I went in to my account to change the password, I saw all the persons info, address, telephone etc. who was using my email account. How did that happen? All of my info was not there. So I took his out and replaced with my info. But then I couldn't get itunes or icloud to recognize my new password.

I had a very similar experience. I made a purchase last month. Everything was fine. Then I try to login two days ago and I can't. Nothing works. Can't reset my password, and when I try I never get an email with the new one.
I email apple support and they tell me that my email address (and apple ID) has been changed to some weird address. I reply and tell them that I never did this and never got an email saying it had been changed. They had me try to log in with the new email address (which I couldn't). Eventually they reset my password (still with the new weird email address) and I could log in. I then quickly changed the password and apple ID back to my email address. However, the billing info was weird. My street and city were correct, yet the State/ZIP and phone were all from New Mexico. It doesn't look like any purchases were made.
I am starting to think that there were no accounts hijacked here, otherwise we would have received an email when the ID was changed (as I did when I changed mine back). I think that something got corrupted in Apple's database.

Osx Yosemite doesn't recognize shot capture date photos

Apparently OSX Yosemite doesn't recognize shot (capture) date of the photos.
The problem has highlithted after installing new Photo app, in which every photo is imported using the Creating date of the file, not the Shot date.

Try trash the following file
com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501
from HD/Library/ Caches
and restart your mac.

Firefox doesn't reconvert special characters in the file names when download a file with any special characters in the file name

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [/questions/815207]</blockquote><br>
if i try to download a file with any special characters in file name (e.g. File_Name.pdf), it doesn't reconvert them from the "sanitize url" process and download the file an incorrect name (e.g. File%5FName.pdf).
This is really annoying.
Thank you for your patient

Special characters in passwords

Where can I get documentation for restrictions on passwords. Like what special characters can be used in
passwords?
Maximum length etc?

Passwords follow the same rules as other identifiers in the database:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/sql_elements9a.htm#27566
That means:
- not case sensitive
- 1 to 30 characters long
- no Oracle reserved word
- no quotation marks
- must begin with an alphabetic character
- only alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), dollar sign ($), pound sign (#)

Special characters in password?

In DS 5.2 what special characters or nonalphanumeric charaters are allowed in passwords? Are there any that I should not allow? And are there any that I should not allow in regards to other systems using the ldap for authentication?

You are strongly encouraged to allow only 7bit ascii characters in the userPassword. The DS has a plug-in which will check for you to prevent 8 bit characters in passwords. It is called the 7bit checking plug-in or something like that. You have to tell it which suffixes you want to check, and tell it which attributes (probably just userPassword).

[Solved] TTY doesn't display special characters correctly

Hello everyone.
I want to set my system language to german. I followed this tutorial: https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Arch_Li … .BCber_HAL
Everything works good except that my TTY can't display special characters. Example:
http://i.imgur.com/ZW6kbOS.png
The is " not showing correctly at the bottom. However, the german umlaut ä works (as you can see).
I have already searched the arch forum. The only thing i have found is setting DAEMON_LOCALE="yes" in rc.conf. However, these post are already quite old and don't solve the my problem (as öäü are working). Additionally, Arch has stopped using rc.conf.
So, what causes this problem and how can i solve it?
Here are my configs:
/etc/locale.conf
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC=
locale -a
C
de_DE.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIC

I'm pretty sure you have to specify font and font map in vconsole.conf
like so:
FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
FONT_MAP=8859-2
If that doesn't help it could be this.
If so try to load settings manually, I can't test German setup, but for Polish I could do this to get national characters:
loadkeys pl
setfont Lat2-Terminus16 -m 8859-2
that requires to be root/sudo
note that -m 8859-2 part is quite important
edit:
actually got all German symbols to be displayed correctly, though I do not know if they are assigned for right keys for obvious reasons
loadkeys de-latin1-nodeadkeys
setfont Lat2-Terminus16 -m 8859-2
read read topic in then link to hopefuly fix why settings are not loaded on boot

I cannot add Adobe DRM settings on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook. It doesn't recognize my Adobe ID/password combination.

I cannot add Adobe DRM settings on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook because it doesn't recognize the ID/password combination that works on the Adobe website. Please let me know if I am in the wrong community.

Having the same issue, called B&N, have spent many hours and still no resolution. As a work-around, I downloaded bluefire reader on my nook. Then I used dropbox to take the book that I borrowed from the library and open in bluefire reader on my nook and that worked (still cannot see it in my nook library, but at least I can read the book).

SQL Loader doesn't handle special characters

Hi All:
My DB characterset and NLS characterset is UTF8.
When i tried to insert records with SQL *Loader having special characters, it doesn't get stored correctly, so when i try to get it out thru' SQLPlus Worksheet, it displays garbage characters.
Do we have to set something in the control file?
Pls. help.

You need to create the data file in UTF8 format. For eg. On Win2K, "Save As" in Notepad as UTF8. Or use the uniconv utility to convert the data file to utf8.
Here is an example of a control file
'sqlldr32.cnt'
load data
infile 'sqlldr32.dat'
APPEND into table nls_demo
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
(myno char(10),
myname char(40),
mydesc char(1000))
null

Javamail API doesn't support special characters in attachment file name

Hi,
We are using Java Mail API to retrieve the attachment's file name, but it sometimes returns the file name as junk character (if the attachment contains special characters) and it is not able to return original file name for some attachments:
Our code sample :
void getFileName(Part part) {
String fname=null;
fname = part.getFileName();
Actually the problem is with the attachment file name which contains special character. For example below is the attachment file name (please find the sample attached file which is causing this issue):
Sample – 1234abc.doc
From above you could see the file name contains a special character (Sample – 1234abc.doc), i.e. The character ‘–’ is not a regular hyphen character, it’s a special character. Hence the Java mail API returns the name as below:
Sample ? 1234abc.doc
So the special character is being replaced with ‘?’ symbol. But if I store this file in local folder and try reading the file name using Java IO packages, it returns the file name without adding ‘?’ symbol.
Is there any way to handle such kind of special characters in Mail API?
Regards,
Vinodh

We dealt with this issue in a private email conversation.
JavaMail is returning the correct data for the filename. The problem is in the way the filename is being displayed.

Blob service doesn't accept special characters

Hi there,
We are usign Blob REST API in our product to upload files.
The doc states about blob names:
- A blob name can contain any combination of characters, but reserved URL characters must be properly escaped.
We have problems with uploading files which names contain some special characters, even though they are escaped correctly. We get the following response:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:11:22 GMT

<BODY><h2>Bad Request - Invalid URL</h2>
<hr><p>HTTP Error 400. The request URL is invalid.</p>
</BODY></HTML>
Here's a list of ones we figured out that cause problems:
0x0081 - (encoded to UTF8 %C2%81 )
0x007F - (encoded to UTF8 %7F )
0xE000 - (encoded to UTF8 %EE%80%80 ) - with this one situation is strange. When it's alone we can upload such flie, but if it's followed bya chinese character, it depends:
PUT /sync/%EE%80%80.txt HTTP/1.1 <--- success
PUT /sync/%EE%80%80%E4%A1%90.txt HTTP/1.1 < --- fails (the filename: 䡐.txt)
PUT /sync/%EE%80%80%E7%BF%BD.txt HTTP/1.1 <--- success (the filename: 翽.txt)
I don't know how such filenames appeared on the client's system, but they a valid unicode filenames and Windows Explorer, Notepad, etc. handle them well.
Is this a bug, or documented somewhere? Why there's inconsietency when working with 0xE000 character?
Thanks,

Hi Arwind,
Thanks for your answer, but the unsupported character in the blob name in your code is missed (myabe due to browser copy).
Here's the snippet for you to try:
            CloudBlob blob1 = container.GetBlobReference("\uE000\u7FFD");   // <-- Success
            CloudBlob blob2 = container.GetBlobReference("\uE000\u4850");   // <-- causes Bad Request on upload
            CloudBlob blob3 = container.GetBlobReference("\u007F");         // <-- causes Bad Request on upload
            CloudBlob blob4 = container.GetBlobReference("\u0081");         // <-- causes Bad Request on upload
            blob1.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Success
            blob2.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Fail
            blob3.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Fail
            blob4.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Fail
(\u4850 - 䡐 , and \u7FFD - 翽)
Note that these all are valid characters in Windows file system and exist in filenames on our client's computer.
We are uploading to the cloud, not to the dev storage (though I dont' see any dev storage blob names limitations)
Sincerely,
IP
