    Question marks instead of the text is an indication of a problem with fonts.

    Open the book fonts in your Applications folder.

    In the fonts start menu bar click book fonts > Preferences and then click: resolve duplicates by moving the files to the trash

    Quit and then restart Safari to test.

    If this does not help, back to the font book menu bar click file > restore to the Unicode Standard

  • Stuck in the downloads folder Documents in Vista folder

    It seems that at some point, I accidentally managed to move the My Documents folder in my downloads folder, and I can't bring it back to my user profile folder. The link to the documents folder now points to the downloads folder as well as my user profile. If I try to move the rear backrest, overwrite the 'shortcut' in the user folder, or delete shortcuts it deletes the actual file permanently. Needless to say I lost a lot of important issues, as is, I managed to recover some of them through the system restore, but because this feature is not intended to change my personal files it can't solve my problem or restore the most important files, regardless of the back where I'm going. 

    I could really use help when setting at least my problem with duplicate folders of Documents without losing the original. I like to keep the special classification as a user also profile folder well (he having this special icon and the link in the start menu). That would be easily solved by using the snapshot feature on Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but I use Home Premium on this computer. I don't understand how such a feature could be reserved for the ultimate when it could be used to solve all problems resulting of the ridiculous PIPs in the OS itself. I always liked Windows but moves like that always make me wonder why I bother.

    Here are the steps on how to move the profile personal user shell folders in Vista (I don't know how you move them to download without using this procedure - is the Documents folder always blue?). http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/107990-personal-user-shell-folders-move-location.html.  Quite honestly I don't know what will happen in your situation with two folders of Documents - as long as move you to the location appropriate, I don't think that something will happen to the content, but I have never tried this with duplicates before.  I make a copy of one (a normal copy) and save it as somewhere just in case if we have data somewhere else not involved in the process and that can be used to re-create a Documents folder appropriate if worse comes to worse.

    Assuming a normal situation, this procedure might work, but I don't know how you have moved in the first place so I am not sure that move the right way will set things back to normal.  However, even if it's not we can still solve the problem with a differentt procedure I will post if necessary.  BTW, System Restore does not retrieve data files - ITI specifically excludes the so that they are not lost when a restore is required (and so it is not to retrieve them).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Why can't I see my downloads in the downloads folder? (Android 4.2.1 Jellybean)

    I just got the new Google Nexus 4 and turned mobile Firefox as my main browser, but I recently discovered a problem. When I download a file (such as a PDF) out of a site to read with quickoffice Android, no file will in app downloads Android. I assumed that the file was only bring bring temporarily a file downloaded for a while from view but when I tried this same process with mobile Chrome, has been in the application of downloads. I installed a third party for the browser on my phone and looked into the downloads folder, it showed for my phone and discovered the files I was downloading with Firefox in it. It seems that Firefox does not display the files downloaded in the download provided with Android application which is a problem because it means that without a third party for the browser, you can not get rid of them. (Petty for sizes but they eventually fill your storage of phones). A download folder is provided with Firefox? Downloads is visible in the application downloads stock?

    Using stock download required additional permissions. We didn't add the following permission to the app.

    DOWNLOAD FILES WITHOUT NOTIFICATION

    Allows the application to download files via the download manager without any notification to the user.

    Downloads can be viewed using a file browser. Personally, I like OI File Manager as it is exactly what I need and nothing more.

  • Firefox 11.0 stopped download PDF files automatically when I click on a link. The download folder is always selected in the preferences.

    When I click on a PDF file that would normally cause the download folder to open it, I am rather taken to a blank white page and nothing happens.

    I use a Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    I recently installed Flash Player to preview an FLV file that I put on my site. I don't remember if the problem started after the installation.

  • How can I change the download folder. Firefox tells me of free memory, but there is actually enough space.

    How can I change the download folder. Firefox tells me of free memory, but there is actually enough space.

    IM using a Samsung Galaxy S. The problem was the internal sd card, which has been used by some data that belong to an application already deleted. That's why the smartphone was told there is still some free space. I formatted my sd card. Now, everything works fine.

  • Download a file should implement an option to open the file or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

    Download a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It is very frustrating - sometimes, you want the first opened file so it can be discarded or stored in a different location.

    Find the type of file in the Firefox -> Options -> Applications Panel, open its menu drop-down and select 'ask '. To reset all the actions of download, delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in your Firefox profile folder (or rename the mimeTypes.rdf X if you want to save as a backup). The file will be regenerated with all types of files, restore the default actions.

    For more information, see application Panel - set how Firefox handles different file types and change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file .
