Cannot type the "@" character

Whenever I try to type the "@" character on one of the Macs in my office I get a modifier key beep and no character. I can't figure out why this is happening or how to fix it. This prevents me from logging on to my .Mac account from this computer. Any ideas? I already tried swapping keyboards with no relief. Must be a software setting somewhere.

I get a modifier key beep and no character.
Double check system preferences/speech and universal access to make sure this character has not been chosen as the trigger for some special function.

Problem : "You cannot convert the character set"..Any suggestions?

Hi All,
I have this character inside my internal table, KOÇTAŞ YAPI MARK.TİC A.Ş. and it created a short dump on the program and it says "You cannot convert the character set". But this customer is already maintained inside the table KNA1..
The code is like this one:
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '' IN linebuffer WITH 'EUR'.
TRANSFER linebuffer TO filename. "LENGTH bytes_to_transfer.
the LINEBUFFER here is an internal table.
I think conversion is the key here. Do anyone knows how to convert this thing? Or is it the Unicode system? Could someone please help me to my problem?
Thanks so much guys!
Regards,
Mackoy

Hi,
What i feel here is you are trying to pass totla internal table at once.Internal table may have more than one record.Filename may string which can contain one row.
So instead of that put the internal table into LOOP.
DATA : v_string(200).
LOOP AT LINEBUFFER.
Here your internal table may have non char data type.That is the
main problem.
Note : while concatenating all non char fields of LINEBUFFER
should move to first to temporary char field and conatenate it
CONCATENATE LINEBUFFER-field1 LINEBUFFER-field2
INTO v_string.
ENDLOOP.

How can i sync my iphone when my screen is smashed and i cannot type the passcode?

i smashed the screen to my iphone 4 and i cant sync to my itunes because it keeps asking for my passcode, which i cant type because my touch pad won't work. i need to erase my phone of all my info before i sell it, how can i go about doing this if i cannot connect it to my itunes? even if i can erase it without connecting to my itunes, i'd still like to recover some info so if anyone can help me sync my phone i'd be really grateful!

When you sync an iPhone to the same computer it was last synced to it will not require the passcode. If you never synced it to any computer, or you don't have the last computer you synced to, you are out of luck.

Cannot type the char 'a' in terminals

Hello
I am pretty new to Arch, and under-the-hood Linux, since I mostly have used Debian, Mint and some CentOS. I have now installed Arch 64-bit on my Dell Vostro 1720 laptop, and I have set no-latin1 as my keyboard map during installation, and I have added setxmbmap no (no-latin1 didn't work, can post error later) in Openboxs autoload.sh (Right name? not booted into arch now). Everything works and I have æ, ø and å on my keyboard both in terminal and in X as I am supposed to have. The only thing is that I am unable to type a in the terminal, both without X and in different terminal emulators like xterm and Gnome terminal. 'A' works though.
I am pretty stuck after some reading and searching on google. The button only beeps when I press it. It also worked before I changed my keyboard map in X to no I think. Anybody who has any ideas?

Thats my ouput, based on the 'a' and 's' buttons, so it is posible to compare to a button that works. I am not sure, but I can't find anything wrong?
Thanks for you answer btw

Cannot type Traditional Chinese

I am using the newest version of Firefox for android. I cannot type the Traditional Chinese correctly in any banks in the browser. it is quite inconvenient when using the Google search engine for searching Chinese keywords.
My device is Sony Xperia Z . Thank you for your help.

I am using the default Sony keyboard. I type the Traditional Chinese by the method of Stroke (CJKV character), which is called "筆劃" in Chinese.
Actually, I found the same problem in my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
Thank you for your help.

Jaxp fails to unmarshall xml document if it contaions the "&" character

Hi,
We are using JAXB in our applications and have recently experienced a problem
with parsing of xml document ( when calling unmarshall method of jaxb ). The problem occurs
when the xml element contains the character & in it f.eks. "Hennes & Maiurets" then it fails to parse
the xml document. We would be very greatful if you could suggest us any workaround.
Thanks in advance
Sazzadul

That's because it's not an XML document. A well-formed XML document cannot contain the & character by itself in a text node, it must be escaped as &. XML parsers will do this automatically, but if you are producing your own XML via ordinary string output, you have to handle this escaping yourself. And the same goes for the other four markup characters.

I cannot type fourth pinyin on my macbook air

I needed to type some things in chinese and i needed to type pinyin. I figured out that I can type pinyin using 'US. Extended'. I bought my macbook air in japan and the keyboard is japanese version. now, I cannot type the fourth pinyin ` pressing option and shift at the same time.what should i do?

Try option + shift + _ . (bottom right corner key I think).

I cannot type anything into the Google search field; each character typed brings up a list of suggestions below the search field, but nothing appears in the search field itself.

When in Mozilla and I bring up Google, the search field appears but the cursor does not blink as it ordinarily would do. When I try to type a search string it doesn't appear in the search field, instead a list of suggestions appear depending on the character(s)

Solved: This was caused by replacing the SegoeUI (Regular) true-type font. I have no idea what process or why that font was deleted, but finding the segoeui.ttf file on another Windows machine, emailing it to myself, saving it to disk, then right-clicking and choosing "Install" fixed this problem.

Name cannot begin with the '\"' character, hexadecimal value 0x22

I am trying to create Calculated Column in SharePoint Document Library using Client Object Model.
However getting following error while executing FieldSchema:
Name cannot begin with the '\"' character, hexadecimal value 0x22
Code:
var calculated = "Calculated";
var displayName = "Effective Date";
var internalName = "Effective Date";
var formula = "=IF(ISBLANK(Col_DocumentEffectiveDate),\"\",TEXT(Col_DocumentEffectiveDate,\"DD-Mmm-YYYY\"))";
List lib = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(docLibName);
clientContext.Load(lib);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
string fieldSchema = "<Field Type=\"" + calculated + "\" DisplayName=\"" + displayName + "\" Name=\"" +internalName+ "\" Formula=\"" + formula + "\"
/>";
lib.Fields.AddFieldAsXml(fieldSchema, true, AddFieldOptions.AddFieldInternalNameHint);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Code does't work if i replace quotation marks("\) in Formula with """
Could someone help with issue?

Hi,
I suggest you take the code below which works in my environment to do the test again:
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://sp/");
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("List2");
FieldCollection fields = list.Fields;
clientContext.Load(fields);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
var displayName = "Cal2";
var formula = "=IF(ISBLANK([Created]), \"\" , TEXT([Created], \"DD-Mmm-YYYY\"))";
var fieldSchema = "<Field Type='Calculated' DisplayName='" + displayName + "' ResultType='Text'><Formula>" + formula + "</Formula></Field>";
fields.AddFieldAsXml(fieldSchema, true, AddFieldOptions.DefaultValue);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Feel free to reply if the issue still exists.
Best regards

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again. Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
Thanks
phil

I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.
