How to type  @ and # in Windows 7 with bootcamp - azerty keyboard ?

I am using an Azerty keyboard with a Macbook pro.
With boot camp and Windows 7, I can't manage to get the @ and # key working (the apple keyboard does not match the Windows keyboard for this key).
Is there another way to write the @ symbol?
I have changed to QWERTY keyboard but it does not help.
Thank you for your answer (a similar question was already posted before,but without solution).
Jean-Philippe

I found the answers by trial and errors.
@  is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 2
#   is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 3
(without shift or caps lock)
These two signs are critical and I fail to understand why this information is not readily available from the help function or from the Apple support.

  • For the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

    Then you might check at any of the other university book stores or software stores or any computer store in town for the 64-bit version.
    If you want to use the 32-bit version from the school (you probably get it for free or very cheap) then you could purchase Parallels and run it as a virtual machine concurrently with OS X. There are some caveats:
    1. You have to purchase Parallels (there may be an academic discount.) List is $79.95.
    2. Your computer needs minimally 4 GBs of RAM, but realistically 8 GBs would be better.
    3. Parallels creates a pseudo-drive on your hard drive. It could easily require 50 GBs of disk space.
    Accommodating these might be more costly than buying 64-bit Windows 7. And, if you look online you may find them with an academic discount (or may be able to order it through the school.)

  • How to type the BACKSLASH character - "\" with a Japanese Keyboard?

    Hello Everyone,
    I bought my MacBook here in Japan so I have the Japanese Keyboard. I need to know how to type the BACKSLASH "\" character. What I'm doing right now is that I just copy-paste the backslash character to my programs. It's a little tedious and so not efficient so I hope you guys can help me. Thank you in advance!

  • Windowsxp.iso on a 2gb usb stick, and install windows with bootcamp?

    Will that work?
    I got os x lion and snow leopard 10.6.8 and 10.6.1.

    So practically speaking there's no real need for me to have all these files in a LR catalog.
    My philosophy is the exact opposite. I believe that you want to use Lightroom to organize and manage and search for all of your photos. Yes, ALL, 100%.
    I have one tool (Lightroom) via which I can find all of my photos. I always know which search tool to use to find my photos, regardless of which one of my three cameras was used. I don't have to use two different schemes, and to remember which photo was taken by which camera.
    Today, you may indeed remember that this specific photo is was taken with your Canon, and that photo was taken with your Fuji and so today, you can esily find your photos. The problem is: as the years go by, you most likely will NOT remember which camera took which photo. I cannot remember, for most of my photos, which camera took the photos; nor do I even try to remember. These details WILL fade in your memory over time. If you have one tool for searching for a photo, you know which tool to use, and you can find the photo. If you have two different tools, and you open the wrong tool, you have wasted some time.
    Furthermore, if you ever want to do a search for photos that were taken by BOTH cameras ... for example, all pictures of your dog, which were taken with both cameras ... you cannot do this search if you have two tools. Two search/catalog methods effectively means you have eliminated your ability to do certain types of searches. One search/catalog method means you can do this search.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you installed Windows properly, you can still start in OS X and use it whenever you want. However, Boot Camp changes the startup partition to Windows, so you may note that you can't use Mac OS X.
    There are two ways of starting in OS X:
    1. Hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting until you see all the bootable partitions in the screen, and choose your OS X partition.
    2. Hold the X key while your computer is starting.
    If you have a iMac or a Bluetooth keyboard, make sure you hold the key after hearing the startup chime.
    If you want to start in OS X by default, after starting in OS X, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X partition

  • After upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues

    after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • Display area is too small on windows with bootcamp

    My 1920x1080 display is shrunk (appears small with a black border around it) on windows with bootcamp, but looks fine on the mac side.
    I'm going from the macpro display port converted to hdmi and plugged into the hdmi plug on a dell P2413T monitor which has a resolution of 1920x1080.
    I'm using bootcamp with windows 7 home premium. Radeon 5870 card
    All my ati drivers are updated. I took the time to update them all.  The dell drivers are updated also.
    The monitor looks great on the mac side. On the pc side it is shrunk so there is a black border of 3/4 inch or so around the edges. It also looks odd.
    How do I resolve this. Is it a problem with the hdmi connector, the graphics card, bootcamp, windows?

    There are overscan/underscan settings in OSX for 1080p displays.
    OS X Yosemite: If the picture doesn’t fill the TV screen
    Learn about overscan and underscan - Apple Support
    Look in Display Advanced settings in Control Panel.
    Can you try a DVI connector?

  • How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?

    Hi any body explain me...
    How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?
    with  header data in one main window,
    & Item data in other main window.

    HI..,
    u need to go for <b>SPLITTING THE MAIN WINDOW</b> !!!
    Main windows in page windows allow you to format text in multiple columns. Define an area in the page window, in which to position the main windows.
    Here is the procedure !!
    -->Create a page window and assign it to a page.
    Choose <b>Edit --> Main windows</b>.
    A dialog box appears.
    -->Enter values in the fields <b>Area width</b> and A<b>rea height</b> in accordance with the input guidelines for main windows.
    -->Enter values in the fields <b>Spacing</b> and Number in the <b>Horizontal group</b> if you want to use multiple columns. You can ignore the fields in the Vertical group.
    Determine how many columns and line areas are required for label printing. Then enter the corresponding values in the fields in the <b>Horizontal and Vertical groups</b>.
    -->The value in the field Left margin varies from main window to main window if multiple columns are used. The following applies:
    <b>
    Left margin of current column + Window width + Horizontal spacing = Left margin of next column</b>
    In label printing, the field Upper margin also varies from main window to main window:
    <b>
      Upper margin of current main window +  Window height + Vertical spacing = Upper margin of next main window</b>
    -->Enter a value in the field Start position.
    This is a counter. Enter a starting value which is equal to or greater than 1.
    -->The main windows are added to the list.
    -->Save your form.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    In some cases, there may be slowness in OS X because of the lack of free space. However, you shouldn't note this and in most of cases, performance is the same in Windows and OS X after installing Windows, more in the case of a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    The only thing you have to worry is to give Windows the necessary space. The MacBook Pro with Retina display hasn't got a lot of storage

    Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
    The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.
