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

My co-workers use Chinese Windows on their PC and when they send me a document, my Mac interprets some Chinese characters as garbled. If I copy that garbled text and place it in Chinese Windows, it can be read fine.
Is there some kind of setting I can change or software I can install on my Mac so I can read all Chinese characters perfectly?

I know I can input Chinese characters on a SL MBP, however I am too lazy to upgrade my MBP to Snow Leopard, well I just don't see the need to. The Mac Pro is my main computer, and I would love to be able to write Chinese characters with my Intuos4. Since SL has chinese hand input built it, is there anyway I can get it to work with the tablet? Or must I buy a program like Penpower?
I am fluent in Cantonese, and 50% of Mandarin, I cannot write anymore because I grew up in the States, but I can still write characters if I have the actual word right in front of me, which will be useful for when I edit minor documents with Chinese text.

How so I make it so text in text boxes runs in the traditional chinese style. Characters in text boxes should run down the page instead of across the page.

A friend of mine has some documents, that are in Sanskrit and Hindi.
They are in Microsoft Word format, coming from Windows, but my Macbook doesn't show the characters in my Word.
Is there any way to look and edit those documents in Mac OS X (Tiger or Leopard) without booting up Windows on BootCamp or VM Ware?

I have a box full of handwritten notes that I would like to convert to a digital format (jpeg or pdf), but I know nothing about these formats and so don't know the best method to do so: scanning is feasible, but terribly, painfully slow. I would prefer to snap photos of each page and then convert to pdf but I've had previous experiences with large pdfs generated from jpegs that were unbearably slow to open and navigate because of the size of the file.
I'm not looking for OCR or to buy a new scanner / camera, I was just hoping someone could point me in the direction of learning more about the formats themselves and perhaps recommend an effective workflow or another community that specializes in this sort of thing (all my searches for analogue to digital conversion lead to dead ends). Most of the material is just reference notes that I would like to have, so the quality just needs to be readable. It is written in pencil or pen, some of it is printed.

I'm looking for a product that would allow a tablet/input device input and then a training program?

i just basically screwed it up. When i started writing it i first saved in .odt and later i saved it in .txt and unicode format. I thought everything's gonna be fine so i deleted the .odt files and had cleared the trash bin but that's where the nightmare began.
I went to the printing shop to get the essays to be printed but their windows computer couldn't "read" the chinese characters and it all turns out as "?" sign. I thought it was only a windows problem but when i went back to open it in my MBP, it's all "?" too. So i quickly installed a data recover program and i am just praying that i can recover the .odt files I would be dead if my essays are totally lost. Anyway, the question is: What extension is best to save a Chinese word document? AND, I just deleted the .odt files yesterday, do you think there's still a chance for it to be recovered?

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.

I used Safari as my default browser. The language changes to Chinese every time I open a new tab, and I have to go to the bottom of the page to change the language back to English.

I have a friends MacBook running 10.6.8 2.26Ghz Intel Core Duo 8 gig ram. I have installed UnrarX a couple of times with no errors in the installation process, however the application does not appear in the applications folder or any where else and cannot find it to open .rar files.
I fixed the issue by simply copying the UnrarX app from my MacBookPro but would like to find out what is going on. I have been told by my friend that she has had this issue before.

why my .pdf files are a mangled mess of random characters? To make it even better, it's unpredictable! Sometimes it's only bold headings, sometimes it's the entire document. I've got no clue.

My other half wants to do some web research on her mum's Belarus background but is being hampered by the lack of Cyrillic characters on her MacBook. I've found a website which sells Cyrillic keyboards that connect via USB. Does anyone know if connecting one of these to the MacBook would work? Would she have to make any other mods?

When I sustain pressure over a key I get repeats if that key happens to be a special character but only a single character if it is an alphanumeric key. The key repeat in the keyboard preferences is at is fastest.I would like it the other way.

I live in China, its great, but I hate the firewall. Ever since they blocked Youtube, I've been trying to get a good connection to a proxy server. I still have not found a good enough proxy to watch youtube. So I am looking for a paid VPN, but I don't know what would be the best to go for. Since my connection in China is bad enough I need a VPN that doesn't slow down my connection any more.

I have an issue that, while it has a work-around, it would be nice to have a definitive answer to. I have always been able to enter accented characters on my OS X devices. For instance, on my iMac, when I press the the alt key and the e key together, I get the forward accent used to give this character: é. This is something I have always been able to do, until I got my MacBook Air.
Both the iMac and the MacBook Air are running the same version of OS X (10.7.4). The difference is, I think, that the MacBook Air came with OS X Lion already installed whilst my iMac had Snow Leopard and was then upgraded to Lion via the App Store. Did Apple stop allowing the use of the alt key to produce special characters and I am just missing seeing that support document somewhere? Or is there a switch somewhere that I can go flick that will allow me to do the same on the MacBook Air?

I more than likely user error but I've just switched from Windows and I copied all of my photos from a USB hard drive over to the laptop hard drive which I put in a folder called "My Photos" in the "Photos" folder already created by OSX. For some reason I can't find "Faces" to start grouping the photos. It's not even showing up on my laptop in iPhoto.
