• Why my browser showing the diamonds including the question mark inside of them, where are my accented 'e '?

  On this site, on certain pages of the site, my accented 'e's not displayed to the top. Instead, I have little diamonds with question marks within such diamonds. Any reason why this is? I suspect it is the font setting, but I don't know who it is. No idea as to which it may be.

  PS. I've included a link to the site where I noticed the problem. The diamonds appear in abundance on this page.

  This site works fine for me. Try this to adjust your display:

  View > character encoding > Western (ISO 8859 - 1).

  It's actually my defined by default, here:

  Tools > Options > content

  Click the Advanced button, right next to the font size, then check the bottom drop-down list control.

  It is difficult to know what is the best value by default, but this one works well for navigation mainly English / US web sites.

• Why the arrows converted to question marks?

  I've created a chart in Excel that contains several arrows. When I create a PDF file, all the arrows that are converted into question marks. Why? How can I fix?

  I use Adobe Acrobat 5.0, Adobe Reader X, Windows XP on a Dell Vostro 1510. In addition, the arrows were created in Excel by clicking on "Insert", then "symbol" with the Ariel font selected.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  I write to the list where others might have a clue. However, it may be that the differences are related to the fact that to create a PDF with AA5 on this Windows machine, I must print to file and then use Distiller. You are able to print directly to the printer. You could try the copy of file, and then open the file in Distiller to see if you get the same result. I just printed directly as PDF on AA5 of Open office and got the same result, so I don't know what you have different. Here are the screenshots:

  There are two different printers (I deleted the PDFWriter to my AA5 installations. I just make an impression to the Acrobat Distiller and PDF Writer for AA4 printer. The PDF writer gave results similar to yours (actually Acrobat PDFWriter 5.0) and the printer AD worked well. It was long since I have dealt with this issue, I had forgotten the problems. The line at the bottom is not use PDF Writer, but use the Acrobat Distiller printer. The problems that you are experiencing is one of the many reasons why Adobe PDF Writer with AA6 distribution quit. AA5, it was only available for a custom installation. Embed fonts, has been one of the major problems with PDF Writer.

  Recommendation: Print on the Acrobat Distiller printer and ignore in the future the PDFWriter. Go to start > printers and right click the ad to reach Printer preferences. You may need to go to a second layer of general tab menu, but you should be able to find the settings tab. Then select print settings by default so that all fonts are embedded. This should solve your problem. Sorry it took so long to remember about PDFWriter.

• Question mark? Why he keep appearing?

  I copy a table to an existing web page on our corporate site with the intention to alter the table. I simply copy the source (< table > < /table >) Safari and paste it in Dreamweaver 8. I don't think I'm doing something unusual, but when I make changes to the text two problems: sometimes bizarre characters appear when I'm editing are not visible in the source code, and sometimes everything seems OK in Dreamweaver, but when I saw the text, there are question marks in the text.
  
  Is it a kind of problem of formatting can I repair it with a preference setting?
  
  Thanks for any help on this frustrating problem.

  Hi Josh,.

  It turns out that the problem I wrote about has been caused by Quark. I don't have an answer as to what Quark hurts, but I have a solution: copy text from Quark and paste it into a Word application like Sticky Notes or TextEdit on a Mac. These applications Strip characters that DreamWeaver do not.

  Hope this helps,
  Chris

• Blue square with a question mark instead of a picture

  I'm on Messages to use with your Mac - Apple Support.

  Instead of pictures (or), I get a blue square with a question mark in it.

  This does not happen with all Web sites, but I wonder why it's happening with an Apple site, and how I can see the photos.

  It sounds like a broken image link.

  Post a screenshot if you can, so that we can confirm. The page seems OK after a glance. Command + shift + 4 then do slide on the affected area, add the image to the desktop to this site via the camera icon.

  If you have browser extensions, disable them and repeat the test. Also try a different web browser if possible to see if it is the scale of the system or only Safari. Is - this Safari you use?

  iMac late 2013, 27 ", i7 - 3.5 Ghz, Yosemite 10.10.5, 24 GB memory version.

  Do you have any suggestions as to why this happened and how to avoid it in the future?

  My intention is, if there is not a known reason or fix for restore from time machine, as indicated in my initial search of the internet this is a rare event and Apple has no solution.

  Thank you

• Start with blinking question mark folder

  Hey guys, English is not my mother tongue and so I must apologize for my bad English, everything first.

  Okay so here is my question:

  I had a folder of flashing question mark when I rebooted my macbook pro retina (13.3 "end 2015, OS X 10.11.4 beta 6) last week.

  So I get in recovery HD to see if if I can do a clean to fix install, but I can't find my disk to reinstall OS X, he showed is nothing.

  Then I restart my mac again and again, sometimes I can boot normally.

  But I can't found anything wrong, he just worked as usual, until what I restarted again, dead again.

  I took it to the authorized service provider Apple to fix my mac. Yes, there is no official bar of the Apple Store and genius in my country.

  They thought that my drive was dead, so they substitute a new drive for my, it took me a week to get my mac.

  It seemed to work perfectly, so I restore my data by Time machine and upgrade to 10.11.4 beta 7.

  Yesterday the 10.11.4 came out, so I updated my mac to this version.

  But when it is restarted during installation, it showed the issue of question mark again.

  After a few attempt to reboot, it finished installing. then I tried to reboot to see if it's good or not.

  Unfortunately, it came with this folder again. So I turn it off.

  After half an hour, I tried to start it again, it starts.

  Everything seemed normal, I checked the S.M.A.R.T by DriveDx and the data were all good.

  I fix the permission by DiskWarrior and it says no need to repair.

  But I always get the record of question mark with 1/10 chance when it start.

  I don't know what happened to my mac, is there anyone has a suggestion?

  Thank you

• MacBook Pro will not initialize. Question Mark flashing folder

  -Macbook Pro 13 "Unibody model 2009

  Hi guys,.

  I have been a frequent visitor to the community of support here, but I'm a poster for the first time, so please forgive any lack of post I suffer from the label. I saw this problem here much and seem me to always see the same advice to fix, but I have never seen anyone who treat the same symptoms I had with my camera.

  My question all started when I tried to save something for the reader, and he said to me "you are not allowed to save this destination" (something to that effect). Then it progressed to a question on my Macbook to spontaneous freezing. It would freeze just constantly and I always have to force offshore. When I would try to start the machine up, it's always 50-50 chance that it should start successfully, often welcomed by the famous question mark flashing folder. I constantly by visiting an Apple store for the last year and a half on this topic and after countless visits, they insist that there is no problem that they can find. They always say down to "permission error", problems of BONE that have been resolved by resettlement and a faulty hard drive. I've dealt with them during this period and and still have this machine properly repaired on any occasion. The problem persists always just after I take the machine home and start right away, its still there.

  As time went on this issue, I noticed that the machine would often freezing when moved, for example moved a table at my knees etc. This has some time until that I have raised to clean the table under one day and then tried to do turn on and nothing. The machine refused to start, only to give me the question mark flashing folder. I tried to boot into recovery mode by using CMD - R and tried to reinstall the OSX, I read that it is a common solution, but whenever I start recovery mode "Macintosh HD" is not where. So I can't even try a reinstall of OSX.

  A man IT in my former work place had examined this issue before on another machine, and he said he had replaced the cable of HDD of the machines as the previous was damaged. When toggled, he said that the machine was working fine. It would be logical, as if the cable is already damaged and loose, I'm sure that the movement might just disconnect. I raise this issue because it is of NEVER once offered all the time, I in dealing with this issue and on further investigation in the apple forums and this seems to be a very common problem.

  

  This appeared on a boot up once and never since.

  

  And that's what I see at every boot up to now.

  I'm sorry to bombard all the world with so much information on this subject, but my frustration is quickly turning into madness on this issue, which have no one at Apple after countless visits being able to fix the problem. As it is the main culprit for me, the HARD disk cable, but I would not assume know better that some of you have known many more people.

  Any information or help that guys could pass my way would be greatly appreciated I was apparently no help from Apple repair personnel. If you have read and thought about all this I applaud you and owe you a drink at the mercy.

  Hi Yogi Wynne:

  I agree with your friend IT. Looks like the SATA hard drive cable has problems.

  The inside of your computer is not as smooth on the outside and rubs it hard against the SATA cable and can cause one of the traces in the short cable is causing hard drive problems.

  Here's where you can get a replacement cable, they are very fragile. https://www.iFixit.com/store/Mac/MacBook-Pro-13-inch-unibody-mid-2009-mid-2010-H ard-car-Cable/IF163-013-1

  Here's a video that shows what could happen. https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Amg5w0rlwDo

  I might change the SATA cable and see if the problem persists.
