Trouble reading Arabic harakat (short vowels) on a Mac

Hey everyone, 

 

at times I use al-Jazeera learning to read Arabic articles with short vowels.  I have noticed that the harakat (short vowels) are often incorrect when I use a Mac to read; for example, what should be a fat-ha with a shadda will appear as kasra with a shadda.  If I use a PC to read the articles, the harakat are usually in the correct position. Has anyone else noticed this and if so did you find a solution to this problem?

سَـلَّمَ  =س لْ لَ مَ

shadda means two letters

Mac`s sound maybe make more complicated in your ear

so try seprate two letters لْ لَ  

( little time (time interval

Thanks for responding to my question,  but I don't think you guys have understood it.  I'm trying to learn new words and the correct pronunciation which is why I need  the short vowels first.  The problem is that when I read using a computer, the vowels aren't in their correct places.
