Can i change the doller sign to a pound sign on my U.S Macbook Pro?

Hi,
I have what i am guessing is a U.S Macbook Pro as there is no pound sign only a doller sign. Can i re-configure the key to a pound sign somwhere under OS X 10.6?
Thanks.

Are there key combos for other currencies as well? Can you point to a link (if such link exists) showing key combos for other symbols?
1) In System Preferences, open "International" in 10.5 or "Languages and Text" in 10.6.
2) Select the tab "Input Sources" or "Input Menu."
3) At or near the top of the list of input methods, palettes, etc, is "Keyboard Viewer" (older OS versions) or "Keyboard & Character Viewer" in 10.6. Check the box next to it.
4) Check the box "Show input menu in menu bar" to have fast access to the Viewer.
With the viewer open, press the modifier keys on your keyboard and watch the characters change from their defaults to optional symbols. Try SHIFT alone to see expected results. Try OPTION and SHIFT + OPTION to see a wealth of other goodies.
It works exactly like the old Key Caps function in Mac OS9 and earlier--it's just not as conveniently placed.
You can also select Edit > Special Characters... from most apps. That brings up another palette of ones form which you can select, sorted by category. One category is Currency.

    Hi eveyone,i just check online that you are entitle for a free upgrade to new OS X Lion  if you buy a mac book pro from June to July 2011. Can i upgrade the new OS X Lion for free if i bought my MacBook pro 13" around Apr 2011 in store?

    When it says on Apples website that it runs from june - july 2011, I seriously doubt you can get it for free when you bought it already in April.

  • Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?

    I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit.  We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan.  It started giving problems after few weeks of use.  Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk.  Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues.  Any idea about this issue and how to fix it?  My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
    Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)?  Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
    Many thanks for your valueable advice.

    Hi,
    Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.

  • Can I use the screen of my iMac G5 by linking it to my MacBook Pro?

    Hi.
    I've seen a lot of producers studio pics, using 2 monitors, it seems to be they've connected there MacBooks up to a 24" + TV/computer screen,
    I would like to know how to do this, what cables i need etc. Also, I havent got a spare monitor anywhere, but i have a iMac G5 (power PC) in my studio, could i possibly link my macbook up with my G5, so i can work on my MBP and use the screen of the G5 mac?
    Thanks!

    What cable you need depends on which ports the monitor and computer have. If you want to use a monitor built into a computer, the cable required is an Ethernet one unless otherwise noted; this also requires setting up Virtual Network Computing.

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

  • I have 2 iPads, they both have the same apple I'd and password. Can I change the I'd and password on one so they will operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game etc. it goes on mine too. Also the information in pages that I put in shows up

    CAn I change the apple I'd and password on one of my two iPads and will they both operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game it also is added to the other one and when I add recipes in pages, they go into the other I pad too.  When I purchased the new iPad I was told I had to have the same apple Id as the first one, I would like them to be separate, is this possible?

    You need to create a new Apple ID to use with the other iPad, then sign out in Settings>iCloud and sign in with the new ID. Of course any data such as contacts and calendars which have been synced from the first iPad will be removed from the second one when you do this.

  • I use the company's iPad at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal iPad  at home. How can I change the company's iCloud id to synchronize with my own one?

    I use an iPad 2 at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal new iPad. How can I change the company's id for iCloud to synchronize with my own personal iPad?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

  • How can I change the Apple ID on iMessage?

    I bought this iPhone 4 from my aunt, and it is currently sim-locked to Japan. My problem is that I can't change the Apple ID on iMessage, and my aunt's Apple ID keeps asking for the password. There are no other options in the iMessage than iMessage on/off and Character Count on/off. I need help. Thank you.

  • How can I change the e-mail address that shows when I try to order from iBooks?

    Hi.  I recently had to change my e-mail address, and successfully changed my Apple ID to reflect the new e-mail.  However, while trying to order a book through iBooks today, I noticed that I was asked for my password and that my old e-mail was showing.  How can I change the old address to the new one so that I can order from iBooks?  Thank you.

    Hi, fromsouth, and thank you for your reply.  When I go to store, there is no place that says "sign out" so I can't do this.  My old email is showing, and when I click on it I am asked for my password.  I tried my old password that I used with that email, but was told it was incorrect.  This is so frustrating!  I can't do any ordering on my iPad until this problem is solved.  Thanks again.
