Help!, How do you enter British Pound/Euro symbols?

Hi,
I bought an american version powerbook because as an fairly apple newbie turn intermediate level mac user each key was well spelt out in words than the rather symbolic based british keyboard layout. Now funny question is does anyone know how to enter British pound and Euro symbols on an american version powerbook, cos i dont want to be copying and pasting

£ is Option + 3
€ is Shift + Option + 2
Also, consult Keyboard Viewer for the key commands for other commonly used characters. You can find Keyboard Viewer by clicking on the flag icon in the menu bar. To activate this menu bar item, go to System Preferences > International > Input Menu and check the box, 'Show input menu in menu bar,'

  • How do you enter recovery mode disc utility?

    On a mac mini server, how do you enter recovery mode disc utility? Before you roll your eyes, the problem I am having is obviously using bluetooth keyboard, on rebooting, it puts the keyboard to sleep so pressing CMD R whilst rebooting doesn't seem to register. Is there any way of doing this using bluetooth keyboard or do I need to get a wired keyboard?

    Thanks, I couldn't tell because I don't have a Restore partition.

    Hi Anna,
    This double tap thing had never worked for me. Surprise, there is a preference to enable it.

  • HT2486 How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

    How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

    From OSX daily:The easiest way is through your iPhone or add a semicolon ";" NOT a comma in Mac Address book .
    Though you’ve long been able to add automatically dialed extensions to contacts on the iPhone, the newest versions of iOS handle extensionsmuch more intelligently, allowing you to create a “Dial Extension” button to any specific contact. That extension dialer can be activated manually, making the navigation of telephony menus infinitely easier, here’s how to quickly add this to a contact:
    Open Contacts and tap the contact name to add the extension to, then tap the “Edit” button
    Tap the phone number entry, place the cursor at the end, then tap the “+*#” button to access additional options
    Choose “wait” then enter the extension afterwards, it will add a semicolon and the extension afterwards to the address appearing like so: 1-888-555-5555;123
    Tap “Done” and exit out of contacts
    Now dial the contact to discover a “Dial 123″ button has appeared, tap that whenever you want to dial the extension
    The extensions can also be added from a Mac in Contacts (Address Book) by adding a semicolon to numbers followed by an extension, just be sure to sync it through the same iCloud account or it won’t go over to the iPhone.
    Anyone who frequently uses extensions to reach specific people at an office, or anyone who has battled an automated phone system knows how useful this can be. You can even set a string of numbers, though the Dial button remains the same.

  • How do I enter a 1/3 symbol?

    I know that this strictly speaking isn't 'printing' but I could not figure out where the heck to ask this.
    How to I enter a "1/3" symbol? Specifically I want to do this in Word 2008, but no amount of Googling or entering phrases into the help system has helped my in any way.
    PLEASE, can some kind soul tell me how to do this?

    If you open the System Preferences and select the International control panel, you'll see an Input Menu tab. Select that. The first three options there are Character Palettes and a Keyboard Viewer click the check marks to turn them on. At the bottom of the dialog box click on the Show Input menu. You'll now see your flag in the menu bar and if you select it you'll see options for showing the two palettes you just activated. The character palette will give you access to all those special characters like fractions and the Keyboard viewer will show you the keyboard shortcuts to many (but not all) of them.

  • How do you enter and display album liner notes

    Ipod Touch, 16gig, 2nd generation. I have a sizeable jazz collection and am ripping a lot of CDs. No problem on adding album art. Question is, how can I enter album information such as side men (like the album may be Cannonball Adderley, but I want to note that John Coltrane played tenor on tracks x, y and z), when the album was recorded and where, historic facts of interest, etc. When I right click an album I've entered in the music section, I go to a page where I add my album art and I see a comments section. Is that it? But, as important, when I'm listening to the album on my Touch, how do I retrieve the notes on the Touch screen to read them?
    Thanks for any help!

    Paste the liner notes into the lyrics field in iTunes. They will then be visible on the Touch when you tap the album art (not in Coverflow)

  • HELP - How do you Merge 2 Users to one without the stuff being Duplicated?

    my friend that helped me with my computer today with her mac computer a while ago her computer crashed and she got a new mac and now for some reason on her computer she had to create a new user so meaning for certain stuff she had to switch back and forth between the 2 users and she wanted to Merge 2 users, on Mac but the First was from back up and the Second is the new user I had to set up and the new user is the most current one and the other thing is she does not want the stuff duplicated so how do you merge them

    You can just drag any of your data from the Documents folder to the Shared folder. Then, when you log in as the other user it will be available and you can drag it into the new Documents folder. If you're looking for other preferences or Application Support it gets tricky to do by hand.
    What I'd do is start over if it's new. Just boot into boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    Then choose Utilities > Disk Utility, erase the volume and reboot. This will be an Internet Recovery and will take a while. Then, the first time the user boots the machine, while still in Setup Assistant when prompted do the migration and all will be fine.

  • HELP - how do you save pictures through the recovery mode?

    How do you save pictures through the recovery mode.  I have the black screen with cursor and despite trying all the tips noted here nothing seems to fix the issue.  These have included using Utility disk to re-install OS-X, repairing the disks.  Also tried the holding shift on start up and entering username and password.  Also tried internet recovery and then repair and re-install.  Nothing works!
    Happy to restore from a back up, but I have been rubbish and not backed up for a long time.  Also happy to delete and re-install completely but don't want to loose pics.
    Please let me know any suggestions!!

    That requires that you can boot the MBP. 
    Or to boot the mac using the time machine back up?
    You can try using startup manager:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1310
    But you still need a working volume where you can install the backed up data.
    The good news is that since you have a Time machine backup, you can transfer that data to another Mac or clone:

  • Nokia E71 - How do you enter a HEX WPA Key?

    Hi All,
    I have WiFi at home and I typed my ASCII Network Key in when connecting to the network and it worked perfectly.
    At work I have WiFi and a 64 digit hexadecimal 256 bit Network key and I can't seem to be able to enter it when asked for the network key...After playing around with the different options i was able to enter a maximum of only 63 characters.
    I don't have the ASCII passphrase, so i need to make the hex key work.
    How do I enter a Hex Key, has anyone done this... help please.
    hex key:

    Fortunately I was able to resolve my problem and I learned something about WPA keys in the process.  In my case, I originally retrieved the key from my laptop using a utility.  It displayed the 256 bit key as a 64 hex characters.  It turns out there was a typable ASCII key that worked.  The reason the hex key couldn't be translated to typable ASCII characters is that it is actually a 256 bit hash calculated from the 63 byte ASCII key combined with the SSID.  The E71x apparently supports entering the key either as the 63 byte ASCII key or as its 256 bit hex hash.  If I understand correctly, the latest implementation of WPA specifies an ASCII key converted to a 256 bit hash but earlier versions allowed entering a 256 bit key directly as hex.  I guess the latest implementation makes sense since hashing the key makes it less vulnerable to a dictionary attack, but it would be nice if the E71 supported entering the the key as hex.

  • Please Help - How do you access/read an element in array of strings

    Hi,
    I want to load up some VI's into subpanels and I have created a for next loop.  Outside the loop is my files and a build array function.  How do you read the first element of the string array?
    I have been programming in Agilent VEE Pro for several years and I am only just learning LabVIEW.  It seems very different!  In VEE, you could use a formula to pass the first element of an array. eg. Array[Element No]
    TIA

    Hi,
    Well, I did try this but I get this error message:
    You have connected a scalar (non-array) data type to an array of the same data type. This type conflict may be resolved by building the scalar type into an array. Check for a tunnel on a loop that has indexing incorrectly disabled.
    The type of the source is string.
    The type of the sink is 1-D array of
    double [64-bit real (~15 digit precision)].

  • How can I get rid of Euro symbol in text?

    Euro symbol show up in front of Copyright symbol when I test it in Internet Explorer but doesn't when I check it in another browser.
    How can I get rid of it?
    Thank you.

    Does it show up in the code?
    If not it's probably a charset in the page encoding that's being misinterpreted by the browser, or a "web-unfriendly" font...
    I try to stick to UTF-8 and avoid any font that isn't in the default list in DW.
    If you have a link to the page online it would help a lot more though. Without that everything I just posted is a guess.
