How do you get a keyboard to show the correct keys

I'm using my wireless keyboard & mouse from my old PC.  It's identified and works OK apart from some keys on it.
On the keyboard, the " character is above the number 2 and the @ is above the ' key.  However, they are now swapped around, with the " appearing when I press Shift+' and the @ appearing when I press Shift+2.  There are other issues with key on the keyboard and the character that is appearing...pressing end in an edit box does not take me to the end of the line, but rather the end of the page.
Any ideas?

You probably have a non-English keyboard.
To the top right of your screen you should see a US flag. That means the keyboard is using the US layout. If you click the flag you will see a menu item "keyboard viewer". There you can change the setting.
I regularly switch to the German keyboard layout if I have to write in German, and the switch back to US English.
I wouldn't do this, though, as when you switch to a different language setting, you lose certain letters or symbols. I'd get a new keyboard - it's not expensive.

  • When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

    When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

    As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

  • How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?

    How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?
    I have a DHMTL page with a panel that I want to slide back and forth. But another part of the requirement is to have the panel look like it is sliding under another panel.
    The problem is that an applet is on the panel that slides. When the sliding panel move under the stationary panel the applet does not go under the stationary panel, but the reset of the sliding panel does render looking like it is sliding under.
    See below.

    --------------------------------------------------------Where @ is the applet. Notice how the applet is on top of the ^ but the panel under it, ^, is under like it should be. All the panels are 1x1 tables with a border. So how can I get the applet on the drawing shown with # and * to follow the rendering of the z-index of 2?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, and don't know how to solve it, So, i had tried to put my applet in a div tag wih z-index=0, but it still hide my other Dhtml divs with bigger Z-index (z-index =1000)
    Have you any idea to solve this.
    Thanks

  • How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud

    How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?

    You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
    So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
    The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually.
