Q: Encoding caracter problem in messages

Hello,

 

I'm using iTunes U course manager in Safari on my Mac, speaking and writing in french.

 

When I publish a new message whose title contains an apostrophe, it displays wrong once saved and displayed in the course. iTunes U replaces the apostrophe character with ' . Seems to be an encoding problem...

How can I avoid this problem ?

 

Worse : it seems that this problem prevents the message to appear in iTunes U on the iPad ! I refresh the course on the iPad (where I am connected as student) and I never see this message coming.

 

Even worse : the next messages do not want to display either... no more refresh seems to work !

 

Thank you for your help,

 

Gabriel

 

Using Safari 8.07 on my Mac, Yosemite 10.10.4 ; iPad with iOS 8.4, iTunes U 3.0

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

    The no-refresh problem does only happen on my iPad Air 2 (iOS 8.4, iTunes U 3.0).

    On my iPad mini which runs iOS 9.0 beta, I can see all the new messages in the course and the apostrophe does display correctly in it.

     

    So it might be two separate problems... (the apostrophe encoding and the no-refresh). Strange : on my iPad Air 2, I see notifications for the new messages from iTunes U, when I touch them, they bring me to the course but in it I only see the first message and it doesn't refresh and download the other ones.

     

    I tried to force-quit the app, to restart completely the iPad, the problem remains the same

    Refresh is ok.

     

    I still have a problem with the encoding of apostrophe in the browser version of iTunes U. Hopefully it is ok on the iPad app.

     

    If someone has a solution about that, it would be great !
