  • How do I change dollar to pounds signs

    I am thinking of buying a USB keyboard whilst I'm in the states and wondered how I chane the dollar sign to a pounds sign on key 4?

    You cannot change the face of the key, but you can type £, as I just did on a standard North American keyboard. It's Option +3 (both keys).
    Of course there are other key combinations. Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Language & Text. Select Input Sources, and check off Keyboard & Character Viewer. And at the bottom check off Show Input menu in menu bar.
    Now when you click on the Character Viewer you see the keyboard. Now try different key combinations, like option + g. The keyboard will show you ©.

  • How to get a euro or pound sign

    hello guys,
    i wonder if there is a way to generate a euro or pound sign on a mac keybord.
    we do work a lot with currencies and that would come very handy.
    best regards
    chris

    In System Preferences-Keyboard select 'Show keyboard viewer in menu bar'.
    Click on the icon that appears in your menu bar and select 'Show keyboard viewer'.
    Now press opt/alt, ctrl, fn, etc... and it will show you all the characters available on your keyboard.  Also try combinations like shift+alt/opt.
    Apologies for the general answer but I don't know where you are or what international settings are set on your computer and hence what your keyboard layout is.

  • How do I change the settings for signing a document back to the standard settings?

    I want to sign documents with an image, but I cannot choose this option. I can only sign with a digital ID.

    You can check the about:config page for a capability.principal pref related to that website.
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>capability.principal</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
    You can reset a <i>capability.principal</i> capability.principal that is related to that website via the right-click context menu to their default values.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • How can I change where the PLUS sign in Maverick Safari saves the url?

    JUst loaded Mavericks and Safari now add URLs to my reading list when I hit the +. How can + put a URL into bookmarks (the way it used to)?

    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard then click-hold on the + in Safari.  The pop-up menu will say "Add to and Make Default" in gray at the top.  Select the destination for your bookmark.  The next time you click the +, the bookmark will go to that same location.  :-)

  • British Sertling pound sign in XSL

    Hi,
    Can someone please advice on how to put the British sterling pound sign (#) in XSL without the parser modifying it. I have tried the using <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> but did not work. I am using oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxsl command line to parse the XML & convert to HTML.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vijayan

    Actually don't worry, I was in the To: field when I clicked the '.?123' button. It doesn't provide the same options in that instance.
    Problem solved.

    You might want to go to system preferences/language and text/input sources and uncheck the box for British and check the box for US, so your keys will match what you type.  If you do that, £ will be at Option/alt +3.

  • How can I -change the currency symbol from Pounds to Euros in a spreadsheet?

    How can I change the currency symbol from Pounds to Euros in a spreadsheet?

    Assuming davyfromGib is asking about AppleWorks rather than Pages . . .
    If running AW under OS X, System Preferences settings allow you to use the euro rather than pound sign in AW's currency-formatted cells:
    System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Currency (set to Euro)
    AW respects this setting in choosing how to display currency format.
    But do note that if you later change the System Preferences back to pounds, the currency-formatted cells in the AW spreadsheet will also change to pounds.

  • I have changed my apple email address and icloud is asking me to sign in under my old email then saying my password is incorrect how can i change it pls

    I have changed my apple id but when i try to log into icloud etc it lists my old id therefore my password is wrong as there is no such account now, how do i change this to show my new id and get into my account

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
