Hello,
since several month, I am trying to find an answer to the following question. Perhaps you could give me a hint, as I still do not know the answer. My problems are non-ascii-charracters in filenames (such as Umlauts, accented characters and so on).
Before working with Apple, I was on Linux. There, I burned a couple of DVDs filled with Musik, Photos and so on. As I am German, Umlauts in the filenames are quite normal. But now, using the Finder, I am not able to open these files, or to copy them to my computer. The only way to do this is using the terminal and using the cp command like this "cp old\ filen\351me.mp3 /Users/myname/newfilename.mp3". This is okay for one single file, but not for the bunch of files I have.
Btw, the same problem shows up when transferring files from a windows system via samba. I had to rename a file on the windows station first in order to transfer it.
So my question is:
How can I properly copy all these files I backuped on DVD?
Yours,
Bernhard Krämer
