How to re-enable the keyboard accented character display?

You know, the little interface that opens up with the different accented characters when you hold down the key? It stopped functioning, without me (as far as I know) changing any settings!

Open Terminal and enter this command:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

How do I get the keyboard viewer to display Korean characters

I am trying to set up my Mac so that I can type in Korean. I followed the instructions here: http://www.foolsworkshop.com/120b/koreanmac.html.
After adding all the Hangul input methods under the International control panel, I have the flag language menu on the menu bar that lets me switch between typing in English and Korean.
So far so good, but now I'd like to see a layout of where the Hangul characters are on the keyboard, so that I don't have to guess. The above link says that I can see this by selecting Show Keyboard Window from the language menu. If I select this, however, it brings up a picture of a keyboard with Roman characters on the keys. How do I get it to display a picture of a keyboard with Korean characters?

Bleech. That's exactly the kind of unpolished UI sloppiness that Apple makes such a big deal about not having. I think the dorky-but-lovable PC guy from the TV ads gets a pass to chew out the insufferably smug Mac hipster guy in Korean.
Seriously, though, I tried that and it works. Thanks for the tip.

How can I disable or enable the keyboard and fix mouse's position with LaBVIEW?

Hi,
1. I'ld like to disable or enable the keyboard with LabVIEW.
2. I'ld like to fix the mouse's position with LabVIEW.
How can I do it?
Please advise.
Regards
Hork

For the keyboard, you could create a filtering event and discard the key change.
What do you mean by "fix the mouse position"? Warping or stalling the mouse is very bad UI form., the operator should always be in control of the cursor position. Could you explain what you want to do?
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

After updating with ios7, I cannot proceed because I cannot enter my password since it uses Greek letters but the keyboard available is Latin. How can I change the keyboard to Greek?

After updating with ios7, I cannot proceed because I cannot enter my password since it uses Greek letters but the keyboard available is Latin. How can I change the keyboard to Greek?

try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu

How do I enable the Java Accessibilty Stuff?

Hi. I'm trying to make my application accessible via a screen reader to impaired users. Unfortunately, I'm not having any success whatsoever. If I didnt know Java had accessibility stuff built-in, I would assume that it was just not compatible at all with screen reader technology.
How do I enable the Java accessibility stuff so that UI components are accessible to a screen reader; they can be iterated over and get sensible names and/or descriptions of them?
I wrote a simple application, attached below, which just makes a demo UI from which I can start learning the basics of the accessibility stuff. Out of the box, the UI is completely opaque to a screen reader (I'm using the VoiceOver utility bundled with Mac OS X, which does ok with normal applications).
I tried setting things focusable to no avail, voice over cant cycle through the UI component using the normal keyboard short cuts, and nothing is spoken when I tab between components, despite some things having natural labels, like a menu, and some things, like the button, where i've set the accessible name and description on the accessible context of the component.
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong or I just don't understand how the accessibility stuff works.
Could someone please shed some light on this so that I can make my application accessible to a screen reader?
Thanks.

        aFrame.setVisible(true);
        aFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }

Ok, so a very curious issue. If I comment out adding the menu bar to the window, ie comment out this line:
aFrame.setJMenuBar(aMenuBar);
The screen reader reads me back everything just like I would expect. I comment the line back in, and nothing, the application is completely invisible to the screen reader.
Anyone have any idea what this is about?

The blue function keys currently do not work.
There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
Let me repeat that so that nobody posts a stupid link to how to turn on the function keys in the BIOS. THIS IS AN OLDER LAPTOP.

Somehow the function keys got turned off. So I suspect there's a way to turn them on again.

IPhone 6. How do I enable emoji keyboard? It is listed in settings/general/keyboards but I cannot highlight?

iPhone 6. How do I enable emoji keyboard in apps. It is listed in settings/general/keyboards under English but I see no where to turn it on or use it.

Make sure you first add the Emoji keyboard:
Settings/General/Keyboards/Add New Keyboard, then select the Emoji keyboard.
To use the Emoji keyboard, you access it anytime the on-screen keyboard pops up for use by tapping the smiley-face icon on the keyboard's bottom row, left-hand side. I believe iOS 7 & ealier don't use the smiley-face icon but an icon that looks like a globe.
To return to the normal keyboard after using the Emoji keyboard, tap on the globe icon on the bottom row, left-hand side.

Yes, you do need an antivirus app for iOS. However, they don't currently exist because Apple refuses to make their 'proprietary' technical OS specifics freely available as open source code or to any Antivirus companies, who could examine and potentially identify security holes. Many security problems have been identified by Apple and fixed as part of iOS updates in the past (details are readily available in the iOS update information) and this will likely be a bigger problem in the future as malware authors move toward the technology leader as a target. But right now you can't get an antivirus app for iOS which scans the iOS device wholesale. This is despite the fact that (legitimate) apps are available which can take control of the entire device, install apps, wipe them or the device, view information, etc (for example Sophos Mobile Control). SMC can be installed by tapping an email link to a website and then tapping 'OK' to a couple of dialogues.
