I thought the problem were the files, but I opened the same files on Windows and the characters were there.I already went to system preferences, changed the keyboard inputs, changed the language, etc, but it didn't work.

OS X :: Unix Command In Terminal To Replace Certain Characters In Files?

Jun 28, 2009

I have a boat load of mp3 files that have a _ instead of a space in the file name. I figure there must be a magical command in the Unix terminal window that would rename the file based on a replacement string.

I want to replace all _ in a file name with a Space. Is there an easy way to do this? Or, maybe a free utility I can download? I'm trying to clean up my files!

OS X :: How To Batch Rename Files With A Random Name

Apr 30, 2008

I have a digital photo frame to see my pictures, but it only plays photos secuencially, it can't be set on "shuffle". So if I could rename the photos with random names, then the effect would be the same, as I would be seeing them in "shuffle".

I know automator can rename files, and there are many many apps that also rename, but I haven't found one that can give the files a random name!

OS X :: Random EXE Files In Download Folder?

May 11, 2010

I opened up the download folder stack on my dock, and I noticed 2 random .exe files that I didn't download. I opened the download folder in the finder and they weren't there. I could only see them when I open up the download folder stack in the dock. I tried clicking the one of the files but it said file not found. I ended up restarting my computer and they were gone after that. I don't have bootcamp or windows installed on this computer btw.

I go to some websites, (such as wikipedia amongst other glitchy thing like someones reply on gmails) and the fonts on the site comes out illegible! It comes out like fraction and words all on top of each other. I tried changing the Character Encodings under View but nothing is working. Its a drag not being able to read some sites. When I copy and paste it onto excel, the actual paragraph clearly appears but once back on the browser, its still messed up. I use Firefox 3.0.8 and Safari 3.1.2.

MacBook Pro :: Handwritten Chinese Characters Not Showing Up In Applications?

Sep 11, 2014

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.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

MacBook :: Did Smc Fan Control Mess Up Fan?

Apr 27, 2009

I noticed that my macbook was getting getting very hot every now and then, so I installed smcFanControl, and set it up, so that it would run at 1800 when it was on battery power, 2400 when it was plugged in, and 3500 for when i was making heavy use of it.Now, two days later, im hearing this weird sound when ever the fan reaches 1900rpm, and im really worried that i might have screwed up the fan. The macbook its only 2 months old, so the fan is practically new.

Software :: Aperture - Random Duplicate Files Keep Appearing In Library

Mar 5, 2006

I have been using Aperture for a bit now, and sometimes some Images just duplicate themselves and pop up at the top of the library. These duplicates have the same size as the screen of my camera, they are not ery good quality. Yet when you delete them, the actual image cannot find its master file anymore, to do its caculations. I then have to start all over....importing, (if I didn't format the compactflash card yet), editing, tagging etc.

OS X :: Mess With The File Name And Open The DMG Manually?

Aug 22, 2009

When I download a DMG via Safari, the usual steps once the download completes is "verifying disk image...mounting disk image...cleaning up" and then it should be complete in the downloads window. however, i've been having this issue where the download gets stuck at "cleaning up". to get it to get out of the download window, i have to quit out of safari after it asks me if i'm sure i want to quit since there is an active download in progress (even though it is technically done downloading).

the files are labeled with the .download extension so i have to mess with the file name and open the DMG manually. does anyone know about this issue and how i can fix it? it is a nuisance to me and i don't recall when it first started.

OS X :: Admin Account Changed - Going To Mess Up Mac?

Feb 3, 2010

I recently took my iMac into a Mac store to get a new hard drive because the old one bit the dust. When I got back home, I realized that the apple "genius" spelt my name wrong as the admin. I know its' not a big deal but this bugs me to death. So, I made a new admin with my correctly spelled name and deleted the mispelled name. Is this ok or is this going to jack up my computer?

Software :: X264 Developer Says Google's New VP8 WebM Codec Is A Mess

May 19, 2010

Despite the unbridled enthusiasm among bloggers for Google's newly announced free WebM codec, a digital video expert has reviewed the new VP8 specification and delivered a severely deflating technical analysis, noting that it decodes video slowly, is buggy, and copies H.264 closely enough to all but guarantee patent issues. What could possibly go wrong?The knee jerk reaction to Google's announcement was to ask whether Microsoft and Apple would immediately jump to support the new codec, given that the two companies offer the default choice in web browsers to nearly all desktop users, and given Apple's strong influence over mobile devices.

Applications :: Random Itunes Message To Access Podcast

Sep 8, 2010

When i'm listening to music on my Mac Pro I 'randomly' get the message:'to access this podcast, you need to log into 82.136.33.201'Like i say this is when i'm listening to music and not trying to open a podcast. It happens randomly (about every half hour or so) and is usually in the middle of a song. It never happens when a song's starting and i've never been denied access to any songs (or podcasts for that matter).I've also got the same music collection on my MacbookPro and don't have this problem there.I put '82.136.33.201' into my browser and came to LBC Podcasts site. I believe i've never downloaded any LBC podcasts and searched their podcasts list to make sure.

I've had this problem for a few years now, my macbook pro recently not booting up, being the reason for me playing music on the mac pro more, hence needing this problem sorting. This problem has persited over many itunes and os updates. For the record i'm using itunes 10 and OS X version 10.6.4Apologies if this problem has been covered here before. I searched the forums and on google and couldn't find an answer.

Applications :: ITunes Random Order Selection Algorithm

Feb 5, 2006

I fired up iTunes tonight with Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. I almost always play my library with 'Random' so I thought it was cool when the second song was Audioslave's What You Are. Imagine my surprise when the third song of the evening was Take The Power Back by Rage Against The Machine. My library is not loaded with any of those bands. Does iTunes have a method to its random selection algorithm?

Applications :: Random Slowdowns In Safari - Spinning Beachball

Mar 17, 2009

Quite a while back, I switched from Firefox back to Safari, because Firefox was driving me crazy with it's intermittent freezes and whatnot. Safari was so much faster and allowed tabbing to menu form fields (which I think Firefox still does not do). But lately, it seems like Safari just slogs through everything it tries to do. Google maps is painful. Loading up the CBS website earlier took over a minute, and not because of a slow connection.

The spinning beachball now appears on every click it seems. This is was Safari 3, so I updated to Safari 4 beta, and it doesn't seem much better. It's odd because it didn't used to be like this...It just sort of started out of nowhere. One thing I do notice is that my hard drive is just churning away with activity at these times. Any ideas what could cause such random slowdowns? Restarting does not help. It's just as slow afterward.

Applications :: Photoshop CS3 With SL - Random Menu Options Grayed Out?

Sep 8, 2009

Admittedly, I'm one of the not-quite-thinking-straight early adopters of Snow Leopard. I performed an update install & everything went quite well (very fast boot times, etc.) However, my Photoshop CS3 has some weird things happening (all other CS3 apps work fine!). I can open, edit & save images with no probs. But, there are numerous menu options that are grayed out, like "File>Quit"!! In order to quit the app, I have to force quit every time. Also, several other commands in the Path window are grayed out. I have not tried reinstalling SL, since everything else is working perfectly.
