Calculator! Can you believe it? :)

a question could not be simplier: how you put a * on the Calculator app on international keyboards WITHOUT numeric keypad?
normally, it is altshift, but some apps -and Calculator is one of them- will not accept it.
i want to have a general sight how this keyboard mapping thing designed in OS-X, because many times it seems crazy.

I do note that the calculator keys do highlight when the appropriate keyboard keys are used, so maybe you can determine which combo works for that. If there isn't one, then it is lame.
If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Alternatively, send Feedback, but that usually goes through support and marketing, although when it'll get to engineering is anyone's guess.

Can you believe it: Downstream: 287 Kbps Upstream:...

Dear Sir, My broadband connection and since I had it, is extremely slow. The details as follows: Downstream: 287 Kbps Upstream: 446 Kbps Your engineer has set up the connection for me. I spoke more than once with your customer service and each time they tell me: "Your issue is with a higher department and would be solved within 24 hours" Dear Sir, This is very frustrating and my request is that if BT is not able to provide me with the agreed service then you should immediately let me know so I can seek another provider. Please if this is the case, I request you to terminate the Broadband service, leave the phone service and email me my MAC code. I shall then wait for your instruction on how to send you back your Broad Band equipments. Sir, I have already reported this issue and now I can see that you have put a note on my BT page that the issue have been solved. This is not true. The issue is still there and I am facing a very slow connection on both Broadband and the phone line. I followed your technical trouble shooting instructions carefully but without success. I also hired an engineer who after examining the issue told me that it is a BT issue and that many people are facing a similar problem. Sir, I believe that BT has not been helpful in sorting my issue. Also on different occasions I was told contradicting and confusing answers, like: “within 24hours the issue shall be sorted out” or "our technical department tried to contact you" I am rather confused, puzzled and extremely upset and I hence request BT to sort this problem within the coming 24 hours otherwise to terminate the Broadband service and provide me with the MAC code. I look forward to hearing from you Yours sincerely

Who can you believe in BT?

I am a very satisfied customer of O2 Broadband but achieve only 3.5M due to line length. BT are estimating my speed on Infinity will be 33.1M. I'm keen to achieve that speed and have got my MAC. But I'm concerned by the number of posts on this forum indicating the estimated speeds are often not achieved, sometimes by a large margin.
BT call me several times a week asking me to order. But first they tell me that if I don't achieve the estimated speed then I can cancel within 3 months with no penalty (but I can't find that in T&Cs). Then... another BT guy tells me the first guy has misled me and I cannot cancel on the basis of not achieving a given speed. The first guy then says his calls to me are recorded and if he promises a speed then I can always quote the phone call regardless of what it says in the T&Cs. I say I don't feel I can rely on that if problems occur later! He passes me to his manager who says the threshold for being able to cancel without penalty is 15M but cannot find it in the T&Cs.
I then ask him if I go for Option 1, with a 40Gb limit, and find I need more then can I upgrade to Option 2 part way through without extending the term of the initial contract. He replies it depends which department I contact within BT, his office will require a new 18 m contract but other departments can upgrade the service retaining the existing contract term.
Am I talking to the same company?

I know you shouldn't purchase something based on rumours but there is one going around about a speed increase in the not to distant future.
Thread HERE and HERE
I went for Infinity option 1 and had a very helpful discussion with sales.
I had unlimited UK landline calls included with my old BT broadband but didn't think I needed the full Infinity opt 2 package that also had unlimited calls.
So I was able to take Infinity option 1 and add an uplift of £4.75 to give me unlimited calls.
I then asked if transferring from BT adsl broadband to Infinity mean I have to start an 18 month contract again and was told that I would.
I then asked if after a while I found I needed to upgrade to to option 2 as the 40Gb download cap was too restrictive, I was told I could and that as option 2 has unlimited UK landline calls included all I had to do was give BT 30 days notice to cancel my existing calls uplift.
There was no mention of having to start another 18 months contract.
I had been discussing contract periods ref would I still have to keep paying until the end of my existing contract for £4.75 anytime calls uplift when/if I upgraded as it is included in option 2.
So having initially being told quite up front I would have to start a new 18 month contract for my BT Infinity option 1 and then being told about the 30 day cancellation notice for the calls uplift I would expect the BT sales representative to have made it clear that to move from Infinity option 1 to option 2 would mean a re-start to the contract again.
So if I do upgrade I would not expect to re start another 18 month contract.
I suppose this may just be my situation and I do keep a note of the names, date and time the conversation took place so if needed it could be confirmed.
My dealings with BT have always been very fair and am sure something can be negotiated.

Can you believe it?

After months of trying to get a new, top of the range, top spec 27" iMac working properly; online support; visits to store for "genius" to help; faulty install disk; faulty replacement install disk; wireless connections not working; Time Machine not working; AppStore downloads not working; system preferences not responding; hours spent on the phone with technical support and senior technical support, I finally decide enough is enough and ask for a refund.
The answer is no - they want to take the computer in for repair - I can't have a refund because it's not Apple policy to refund money for faulty goods.
I've been using Macs for twenty years.
I could have spent a few hundred on a PC - and just thrown it away when it didn't work.

The first problem was the wireless connection dropping - a lot of users have this problem and Apple did agree to a refund but wanted to try to fix the problem first and this dragged on for quite a while as I don't have a lot of spare time to work it and the first and second line support were unable to help. Then no-one could get Time Machine to work - again not in itself a big problem. Then the App Store wouldn't work, different people dealing with it and time passing by. The system preferences stopped working. Then a long delay in getting me a replacement install disk as mine was faulty - different people at Apple and time passing on.
Small computer problems don't figure too highly in my life so I went along with Apple to try to solve them. I prefer to solve problems with computers than just send a 'good' computer back.
They are now stumped - none of their Geniuses or Technical support staff know what to do or can get my computer to work but I can't have my refund.
What really disappointed me was the attitude of the online store people, they were polite but insisted it was not Apple policy to give refunds.
I'll get my refund but I know it's going to be a long fight and may involve the courts.

Can you open a calculator and add or subtract within a cell?

I am trying to see if there is a way to use the number pad as a calculator and add figures then enter into a cell for further use. I want to eliminate the use of my adding machine if possible and just use my keyboard to do my additions and enter directly into my spreadsheet. Is there a function that opens a calcultor for a cell, do the additions on the keypad, hit enter and have the total put into the cell?

AG,
Are you aware that OSX has, built-in, Calculator.app?
With Calculator.app, you can make your calculations, Command-C to copy the result to the Clipboard, switch to Numbers and Command-V into the target cell.

Why am I not able to type into my pdf files. Why is the cursor only appearing at he areas where there in no typing? I believe I know who's doing this, but can you fix the problem for me please?

I cannot type into one of my pdf files. The cursor only appears where there is no typing. I believe there is foul play going on on my computer, Can you fix this problem?

Hi Donna,
Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this mystery! I hope it's not foul play.
You say the problem is with just one of your PDF files? What version of Acrobat/Reader are you using? If you're in Reader, you're limited to commenting/annotating the PDF (you can't edit text with Reader, so you wouldn't be able to select text that's in the PDF already).
Please let me know what program/tools you're using and we can take it from there.
Best,
Sara

Sad that we can't do any updates to equipment I've spent so much money in. Hope this is resolved real soon.

Who exactly are you addressing this post to? And what exactly are you posting? We are just users like you, and have no idea what you are referring to. If there is something you would like to ask - user to user - please do so. Otherwise, you are wasting your time complaining about Apple, since we are not Apple.

Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is?

Pondini,
Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is? I'm stuck in the "Preparing Backup" phase for what must be hours now. My last successful backup was this morning at 7:16 am. I did do a series of Software Update this morning, one of which, a security update I believe, required a restart.
I'm confused as to what the issue is, and how to get everything back to "it just works".
Many thanks in advance.

Time Machine can't read some data it needs from your backups (each of those date-stamps is one of your backups).
That's usually a problem with the drive itself, but could be the directory on it. First be sure all plugs are snug and secure, then see if you can repair it, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, post back with the results. Also either tell us what kind of Mac you have, what version of OSX you're running, or post that to your Profile, so it's accessible.
This is unrelated to the original post here, so I'm going to ask the Hosts to split it off into a new thread. Since you've posted in the Lion forum, I'll assume that's what you're running. You should get a notice from them

My Firefox Plug-in for Adobe Reader, says it's outdated. I have tried several times to download the latest version, and it still says it is outdated, can you help me?

'''bold text'''I have found out that I need to disable my Firewall, and stop my pop-up blocker, before downloading the new Adobe Reader. Now, I have uninstalled it and re-installed it several times, because on the Checl Plu-In Page, it still says it is outdated. I don't know what else to do.

Bill,
Thanks for getting back to me. I am very frustrated. Initially I called to ask questions about what software version I needed and got my questions answered. I received the messages with registration/sign in info and the link to download. Then I got the screens shown on the attachment. I did this several times on Friday and then called for assistance, which put me into the Forum area to leave my question. This morning I have used your link and gone to the same place and got the same results. I am beginning to wonder if this is what I want. We need software that will let us edit pdf text and drawings files. Can you confirm that I am trying to get the correct software and what I need to do to complete this download?
I don't believe it is a system problem because I have 215 GB of free space on my hard drive.
Thanks,
Margaret

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home. Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached. Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date. Can you help?

I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
