Can't get backslash to work on keyboard - HP Pavilion dm3
Hi
For some reason I can't get the backslash key to work on my keyboard. Everytime I try to use a backslash I get the following symbols
- this if i simply hit they key #
- or this if I use shift ~
The hash symbol is actually located above the number three on the keyboard, when I do shift on it I get £
I'm at a loss as to why my keys are all over the place!
Anyone got any ideas as it is driving me crazy!
Thanks

HI,
That is generally what the problem is. It is a matter the wrong keyboard mapping being loaded. I have the same hassle from time to time between the English) and Dutch languages that are installed in my OS.
Try adding English US (International) to the language bar.
Best regards,
erico

I working in Citrix and the keyboard does note generate. How can I get it to work?
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping upward on the app window (not the smaller icon) off the screen.
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go. -
I just bought an iPad 2 and a iPad keyboard dock and can't get them to work together. What do I need to do?
Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:

If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.

I have just bought a super slim usb 2.0 disc drive but I can't get it to work on my macbook air and now a dvd is stuck in it! Any ideas?
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes. -

I was shown in one on one how to do imovie screen shots using com 4. Now I can't get it to work.
What am I doing wrong? ThanksYou can also remap the command to a single key:
System Preferences, Keyboard, Shortcuts, Screenshots, select one of the options (like save picture of selected area), to an unused Fkey (I use F13 on my wired keyboard). 1 key screenshot. -
Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.
I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage.
I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
How can i get this to work. I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption. Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

got my password wrong twice and my mini is disable. I connected to iTunes, but can't get it to work. Can some one guide my through?
If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

Is there a way to reset my messages account, I can't get iMessage to work on IPad nor Mac osx. Help please this is really frustrating.
Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?
In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) this did not seem to be important but it seems it is in Mavericks/Messages 8

I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad
I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad
Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad. -

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?
The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, this will solve your device issues. -
Iphone 5 went black. Tried pushing on/off and circle at the same time. Worked yesterday and then did it again today. Can't get it to work.
You need to hold those button longer until you see the apple logo, then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

I bought a DATAPILOT to transfer pictures to my macbook and can't get it to work. Any suggestions please?
Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here
