How to get @ sign in MS Word/Outlook on MacBook Pro in Windows?

I've been looking everywhere I can think of for a solution to this, so any help would be hugely appreciated.
I've just converted to using Mac (finally!) with a new MacBook Pro, but still forced to use Windows XP for some tasks, and I have a really annoying problem with a keyboard shortcut.
I finally disocvered that in Windows you must use CtrlAlt2 to get the @ sign, but for some reason this works everywhere EXCEPT in Word and Outlook. This has the really annoying side effect that you can't really type in an email address in Outlook, as you're lacking the @ sign. I'm getting tired of copying and pasting via Notepad ... Does anyone have a solution to this!?
Also, what's up with the / |§ keys swapping places in Windows? Unlike the @ sign, they are actually in the same place on the keyboard, so there shouldn't be any reason to change that.
Thanks in advance!

How Do I Sign Out Of iMessage on My MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook Pro and my dad has an iPhone. We are both connceted to the same iMessage account therefore he gets my iMessages. I made a new iTunes acount. Could anyone please tell me how to sign out of my dad's account and sign into mine... on the MacBook Pro that doesn't have iMessage in the settings. I'm not sure which update it is.
It would mean a lot, THANK YOU.

This worked for me:
1. Open up Messages (make it the active window)
2. Hit command-comma (for the preferences)
3. Navigate to the accounts tab, and select the account you want to log out.
4. Hit the button that says Sign Out, or if you're not on the latest update of OSX, hit the big central button with account details on it.
5. Hit the Sign Out button, then quit the program.
Hope this helps!
the guy above said this and it worked for me!

How to get win7 installed on optibay HDD on macbook pro

Hi all,
so I am in a bit of a pickle
I recently bought a new 15" MPB with an apple installed 128gb SSD drive.
My plan was to install a 2nd hard drive in the DVD spot, a 500gb with a 70ish GB win7 partition. I would like to use Win 7 for screencasting for windows tutorials and for Gaming...mostly for gaming
I thought, naively, that this would be a simple boot agent setup...boy was I wrong.
I have already installed the 500gb drive in the optibay, it is working fine
I did not realize that a macbook pro cannot boot to an external drive or dvd. I could be wrong here but all my research seems to indicate that it can't...using something like refit does not fix this problem
I tried going through the boot camp setup with my external dvd drive attached through USB...did not work
also tried a USB thumb drive...no dice
sooo
any ideas on how to get a win7 install on my 2nd drive?
I'd like to avoid having win7 on my 128gb ssd as there is limited space
can I install win7 on the drive on an actual windows machine and then transfer it to the macbook?
could I install the win7 partition to my ssd boot drive and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the partition to the 500gb?
its actually kind of an interesting problem...but I'm stumped
any and all help appreciated.

I'm sure someone else who knows about this will pitch in. Although my monitor is HP 23 inch and has both VGA and HDMI and have no issues. I don't have the miniport to VGA connector so I can't test it out with the VGA. Sorry for my inconvenience.

How to get install disk for lion on 2012 macbook pro

How do i get a reinstall disk for drivers and lion as well as ilife so i can install a new ssd drive in my computer

As Niel said, you have to install OS X through OS X Recovery. Respecting to iLife, if your Mac came with DVDs, you should have it on the Applications DVD that came with the Mac, and if it didn't come with DVDs, open App Store > Purchases, and install iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand.
Then, if you want, you can download OS X from the App Store instead of using Recovery, so you can burn the installer onto a DVD or USB drive with Lion Diskmaker, so you won't have to redownload OS X each time you want to reinstall. As you have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, it will only work if it came with OS X Lion and you upgraded to Mountain Lion

How to get pop up reminders to work on macbook pro running lion

I presently have all of my devices, ipod, iphone and macbook pro syncing beautifully in icloud with one exception. If I create a reminder it will pop up on my ipad and iphone, but not my macbook. Sometimes I am at the macbook and want to see that popup from reminders. I love that I can create it on my ipad and it shows up on my macbook in ical, but I don't get the same alert I will get on my ipad or iphone. I am just scatterbrained enough that those pop-ups are very helpful. I have been in system prefs and ical prefs but not finding anything for this. Help is appreciated

How to get Original OS DVD That Came With MacBook Pro

Hi,
I bought this MacBook Pro last year - I think I did not get a restore DVD with the OS etc. with it. Is there a way for me to get it from Apple?
Thanks,
Apurva

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

How to get my apple I'd off a macbook pro with having to giv my I'd and password away

I had sold my macbook pro to someone and they say they can't update the computer without my I'd, the problem I am confused about Is when ii gave him the computer I already restore the computer to not need my apple I'd, is there anything he can do without me needed to give h my Id anddd password so he can update

When you sell a MacBook Pro, you need to give them the original OS that was installed on it when it shipped from Apple. Any upgrades you purchased from teh Mac App Store (even the free "purchase" of Mavericks) is tied to your Apple ID. You would need to restore the Mac to the original OS, then let the buyer upgrade the OS themselves.

How to get my Music and videos from my Macbook pro to apple TV

I have some music and videos from my macbook that i have added to itunes from CD's and DVDs. Whenever i try to play music or movies on my apple TV it says that there is no music in the library. Is this because the items were not bought on itunes and were added from my computer??

If the music and video is compatible, it should play from Computers.
The Mac and iTunes must be running, the media files must be accessible on an internal or attached external drive.
I assume you have enabled Home Sharing.

HT5622 How Should I Sign In to Settings on My MacBook Pro?

In Settings (Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1), Apple presents me with a Dialog Box that shows my Name and asks for my Password. I enter the correct PW, but Apple won't accept it. Should I try changing pre-populated "Name" to be my Apple ID instead?

You have an account on your machine that you created when you set it up. That's the password it's asking for. The Apple ID is something you set up separately and isn't necessarily the same password.

If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.
Most commonly used backup methods
Sometime that won't work and you need to do more

How to get bar graph in word in labwindow/CVI ?

how to get bar graph in word in labwindow/CVI ?

ashwinic9,
spawning your question over more and more threads (the present one, this one and this other one) won't give you a faster answer; instead, it will irritate forum users!
Especially if you have at your disposal a fast way to perform a test. I pointed you some days ago to word report example, that writes a table to a word document: did you tried changing the graph into a bar graph and generating the report? I have done it for you and the result is OK, as you can see in the attached document.
Now, since the example works well, there must be something in your particular situation that prevents the graph to be shown; that is: you must add some more data on your actual problem and maybe a small example that exposes the problem.
But please: keep active only this discussion and let the other threads die!
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
