HELP: keyboard button outputs wrong letters/symbols

I just got a bootcamp windows 7 on my macbook pro. after doing this, i cannot seem to type the "~" key next to the number 1 key. instead of "~" it outputs "\" and "|" when pressed with shift.
has anyone encountered a similar problem or know how to fix this?
I do not know whether this problem has to do with the bootcamp, but it used to work before.

The best way to do this is to download Sharpkeys, an open source software available at http://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/
You don't need to install anything, just execute the .exe.
On the main screen, ADD a "rule".
In the window above, use the "Type Key" button.
Just press the ~` key on the top left of the keyboard and you will see the window above. This is the key code for this key, which is interpreted wrongly as |\ in bootcamp. Click OK.
You now have to choose the new mapping for this key, as in the next image.
Then click OK, and don't forget to write to the registry, using the button at the bottom right of the main "rules" window. Reboot and that's it.

Apple Bluetooth keyboard shows the wrong letters when pressed

Hi,
My apple bluetooth keyboard shows the wrong letters when I write on it. If I press "c", the letter "d" shows on the screen instead. The bottom row of letters mimicks the row just above. I've tried unpairing and paring the keyboard again with my computer and my ipad. Same error. Tried resetting the pram and the smc and it still doesn't work. Changed the batteries in the keyboard and no change. I've removed some plist file (com.apple.BezelService) and its lock file like someone recommended in a youtube video. I've also checked the keyboard settings and can't find anything that seems weird.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it or do I have to buy a new keyboard?
/Andreas

Before you buy a new one, take it to an Apple store (if one is near you) and have them look at it.

Macbook Pro's keyboard is typing random letters/symbols- can't figure out- HELP!

OK, so everything was just fine, worked wonderfully, then I found my little chihuahua puppy walking on the keyboard, she is very tiny, so not heavy at all, & I caught it pretty quick... I DID see she may have had a little bit of wetness on the bottom of a paw, as there was a bit here or there, but it really wasn't much at all, and I was able to soak it all right up with a tissue, it really wasn't enough water, or in a bad enough spot, for me to worry at all about any damage being done- however- while trying to enter text in text edit, I realized that all the keys on my keyboard were either not responding at all, or typing completely random letters/symbols instead of the intended characters- for example, every time I'd type/press one single letter on the keyboard, one time, instead of that letter, it would type TWO completely different letters, like 'ht' , at the same time- so every "d" would produce "ht" over and over... sometimes it looks like hebrew or russian letters, I don't even know! So I'm pretty darn sure my puppy must have typed some crazy key combo that did, well, who knows what- I've tried looking this up here on these forums, for a couple days now, and thought that I maybe figured it out a couple of times, but nope- no luck. It isn't my language setting, my option key isn't stuck, I'm lost! I saw a couple people who seemed to know what they were talking about, who were trying to help others with similar problems, and they asked the person to enter "asdfg" into text edit, and to post what that produced instead of the "asdfg" so.... I planned on doing that very thing right now, but there seems to have been a new development- as now, when I go into text edit, none of my keys work/respond when hit- except for a few, the following keys in lower case ";" " ' " "/" "[" "]"
"\" "=" & "-" THEN, when I hit the following keys, here's what they type:
c= cde3
v= frv4
b= bgt5
n= hny6
m= jmu7
comma= ik8,
period= lo9.
Then sometimes, when I hit the 1 or 2 key, the letter "z" starts to type constantly filling up the whole text edit box, like, "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... & so on"
If anyone has any idea what is really going on here, PLEASE help me out- I love & need this laptop for work, school, etc. and right now, I am no where near an apple store, don't even have good phone reception up here- (on a mountain!) so I'm really hoping that someone can help me figure this out once and for all! THANK YOU for reading this lengthy post, & thanks in advance to anyone who tries to solve this mystery!

I should point out I was having a very similar issue with no known liquid coming in contact with the machine. The keys that were affected were close together: my e, d, and c keys would consistantly type weird combinations of characters, some of them very out there, stuff like ¥©þ®. An external keyboard would work fine.
After a few days it just stopped, and the only reason I can think of is that overheating was the problem. I was playing "cookie clicker" a game where you often leave the game running overnight, and I noticed that the fan was often working very hard and that the computer got pretty warm, even when leaving it on a hard surface. So after three days of symptoms I stopped playing that game and a day or two later everything was back to normal. My e, d, and c keys were inconsistant for the first 24 hours (sometimes worked, sometimes didn't), but now they're working working fine.

While typing keyboard starts typing wrong letters

I have checked my settings for my keyboard and have changed keyboards. I can open Pagemaker 7 & start typing, all's well. Then after a while it starts typing wrong letters & I can't use my short cuts. I also tryed reloading Pagemaker 7. I have run Malwarebytes, AVG, & Spybot. I can't find anything. It is also doing the same thing In Photoshop. It doesn't do it in any other programs besides Adobe.

I thought it was setup Default input language as English (United States).I checked and there was 2 other settings under keyboard besides US. United states-Dvorak and United States international. So I removed them. Also under Advanced Key Settings and Hot keys for imput languages - Switch between input languages was set up to work. I changed this to none. So far it has worked fine. Today is my long day at work so we'll see. Do you think that was it? How would that have gotten changed? I have done some windows updates recently that caused me problems with my display.

Keyboard buttons all wrong

Hi,
I have just bought my first mac and am very confused with the tiny silver keyboard, the main letters are fine, but all the other keys are everywhere!
For example to get a ? I have to press the key that would normally give you a dash or an underscore....
Please help
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your reply..
When I go into System Preferences - Keyboard and mouse - there is no further option to change the keyboard type....just keyboard shortcuts....
When I go into International - Input menu - I changed it to Spanish, which is the country I;m in and where i bought the mac, but its the same...there are 3 headings ;character palette, japanese kana palette, keyboard viewer ........ should i do anything with these? They are unmarked at the moment...
Thanks for your help

Oracle repots with wrong letters/symbols

Hi,
My question isn't about IDS-reports, but it's related to reports and I don't know which other board around here is the right one. But maybe someone is using utf-8 or can tell me which board is the right one.
Okay: I'm running Oracle reports 9i using american_america.we8iso8859P1 at the moment. But there are some symbols in the pdfs which are not correct. In example the ", the euro-symbol and some more. What would be the right charset to display that?
Thanks for your help
Jens

It is possible to display both double quotes and the euro symbol under iso-8859-1. As you may be having other characters outside of iso-8859-1, you can try with utf-8

Button to play 4 symbols glitchy- plays IN simultaneously, plays OUT sequentially. Why?

I have 4 symbols, each simply a variant in the color and text. All 4 symbols are built on the same animation, but are independent symbols. Each symbol itself is composed of 3-4 symbols. I have combined these 4 into a master symbol. I have created a menu symbol to control the master symbol (e.g. the 4 variants). These 4 variants are identically built and should behave in tandem.
Simple show/hideing works in tandem, no problem. Simultaneously playing IN the timelines of the 4 symbols in works. Unfortunately, each play OUT sequentially. Therefore, I must click 4x to play OUT the 4 variants. (playReverse)
Sometimes it looks like the computer "had no time" to execute all the code, so it skips.
Questions:
Why can't 1 button control the different symbols in parallel?
Does it have to do with playReverse?
Is there a limit on the symbol nesting hierarchy?
In what order/priority does EA execute code?
thx!
p.s. My programming skills are rather basic. I haven't tried anything more sophisticated than show/hide and play/playReverse.

Hey g.bollmann,
this should help:
Why can't 1 button control the different symbols in parallel?
you can, I can see some errors in your code (edge does not have the best debugger tool built in so it may say code is fine when it is not). the best way to test for errors is to see what you have just code work how you want. you can use the alert (); function to help see if code it being triggered to a value is what you want
e.g. banana = 8, so alert (banana); should show 8 but if It does not I know I have done something wrong
Does it have to do with playReverse?
To use playReverse use it like play as it does the same e.g.
Edge uses milliseconds do 2500 = 2.5 seconds. You can play from a label but any trigger will be hit again so you will need to add a bool or something so that the code will not run again in the triggers
Is there a limit on the symbol nesting hierarchy?
Not from what I know I have has 10 within 10 within 4. I would recommend only have around 5 within 5 to 3 deep as you need to know where all the symbols are and what they all do so connecting and running them all can take a long time.
In what order/priority does EA execute code?
From what I have seen from edge it runs code in order, if you have code that does not run then it can be an errors in the code(edge stops running all code in the trigger or click if there is an error in a line). You can use several alerts to see where the errors accurse as the alerts the error will not show.
Use different if statements (have you tested the ones you have? do they work?).
I would use a bool or int if statement as this is easier to keep track of:
In creation compete set the variable;
var variblesname = true; or var variblesname = 1;
you can have as many as these as you like just changed the name
you then set them by
variblesname = the values;
and use them in an if by calling them again
if (variblesname == 8) {
do stuff
else if (variblesname == 9) {
do stuff
else {
do stuff if the other is statements don't work
for your if statements have "else if", if you don't want any other if to play if one of the requirements are met and an else if you want something to happen if none of the "if"'s requirements are met not met
Hope this helps

While typing, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I don't think I am doing something at my own, it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this.

While i type, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I think it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this please help.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If you have done this like I describe above and the problem continues I suggest you contact Apple Support or make an appointment at an Apple Store and have your iPad examined by a technician.

HELP about analog output video

Hello, I´m need help about analog output video in Premiere CS5 using Matrox RTX2. I need to crop a video with resolution in 1440x1080 to 4:3 in output analog. But what happens is wrong (I think). My video is in format anamorphic and the other option is 16:9 letterbox. Is there any way to crop the video without using effects. Thanks a Lot and sorry my bad english (my native language is Portuguese).

There are no 4:3 HD specifications. You'll have to put the video into a normal SD sequence, and scale it down till the top and bottom of the video meet the frame. That way the sides will be cut off.

[SOLVED] MSI GT70 keyboard buttons not working

Hi! I am a normal user of computers that like games, so I bought this awesome notebook MSI GT70 i7 16gb ram GTX 675MX 128ssd+750hdd, with a keyboard by steelseries.
Everything was ok, using the notebook as came when I bought, with OS windows 8, with no format nor modifications by me, using it since January 2013.
The problem is that about 1 or 2 weeks some shortcuts of keyboard arent working anymore:
- Wifi button isn't working and isn't becoming orange when pressed, and Fn+F8 isn't working either;
- Screen shutdown button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- Cd-dvd eject button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- I tried also Fn+F9 and Fn+F12 shortcuts, and I think they arent working either.
At the same time, the Cooler button and the Backlight's Keyboard button are working correctly. Turbo button maybe is working too but I don't know if something become overclock when I activate it.
I would really appreciate some help, since I love my notebook very much, and I hope it's not a hard problem to solve.
Thanks!

Can I make the keyboard display lower case letters?

Sorry for possibly a totally n00bie question....I'm completely new to Apple products. I just bought my first Apple product yesterday, iPad Air (full size).
My question is in regard to the virtual keyboard. It displays the letters in upper case, so it makes it difficult to determine between upper and lower when I press the shift key because it doesn't look any different.
Is there a way to make the keyboard display lower case letters when in lower case mode and vica versa for upper case?

In my opinion, this is still one the silliest oversights in design by Apple. They can make the little switch button on flashlight icon in the control tray toggle between up and down, but they can't toggle the case of the letters to reflect the status of the Shift key? Seriously...without actually using your phone, can you tell me which icon represents Shift being enabled? Is it the black arrow with the white background or the white arrow with the grey background?

Keypad Malfunctioning - Multiple or Wrong Letters on Press - Interuptions and Wrong Words on Swype

About 2 weeks ago my keypad stopped working or at least working as intended. Might have been from the latest update I am not sure.
ISSUES WITH STANDARD PRESS AND TYPE:
1. I tap a letter and it often types that letter 2 or more times instead of once.
2. I tap a letter and it often types the worng letter or a whole series of wrong letters.
ISSUES WITH SYWPE:
1. I will be using swype and in the middle of creating a word it just stops as though I have lefted my finger up when I haven't
2. I will swype and the word will be no where close using letter I never even came near.
Basically this happens on and off which is why I think it is a software issue rather than a hardware issue. If it was hardwear there would be a dead section or broken section of the screen. But one minute I can swype a word and the next minute I can't swype the same word. Same thing with press to type. I will press a letter and it works press it again and it won't and so on.
MY ATTEMPS TO FIX THE ISSUES:
1. I tried powering the phone on and off.
2. I tried turning off the phone and removing the battery.
3. I did a factory reset.
Does anyone else have any other suggestions the only other thing I can think of is trying to get Verizon to send me a replacement which I am sure won't be easy.?

Try this: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Multi-touch keyboard > Clear data. Then do the same thing for the Text messaging application.
