Insert arrow symbol with keyboard

Hi,
I just started using Pages, and I'm looking for a way to type an arrow symbol without using my mouse. I know I can find all the icons I would want in 'Special Characters', but using your mouse isn't efficient. I read somewhere I can add an autocorrect in preferences, languages and text, but when I try to add the autocorrect (from --> to →, similar to the autocorrection in Microsoft Word) it wont do this in Pages. The other autocorrections do work, but this one won't. The arrow symbol is a copy from the symbol Pages let's you insert in the special characters window.
So I'm wondering, what am I doing wrong that my --> won't turn into → in Pages, while the other autocorrections do work.
Thanks in advance!

Here are the solutions that I use in System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. Both left and right arrows are visible in this screen capture. The right/left arrow symbol is directly from the Special Characters, Arrow category, which are double-clicked to place them in the With column. In Pages v5.2.2, the Edit > Substitutions > Text Replacement menu item is selected.

Meaning of Up arrow symbol with circle on Grid Control

On the targets page in Grid control, the instances that are up and running have an upward arrow against their names. Some however have a circle around them. What does this circle signify?
Regards
Baffy

The circle indicates that you can click on it. You'll be able to click on the status and see Overall Availability unlike other targets that don't have the circle. It might have to do with the different licensing of different targets.

Insert in timeline with keyboard shortcut

Hi,
I am looking for the keyboard shotcut to get a clip in the timeline. I can drag it with the mouse, but there must be a way to do it through a keyboard shortcut...
Thanks (Merci)
Yves

The F9 works but it makes the FCP timeline active, so if i want to keep adding edits from the same clip i have to click the viewer window before continuing, which is really lame because when you drag, you can continue to do so without activating the timeline window

SOS!!! can not type username/password with heart symbol () to login with keyboard.

My child accidentally added heart symbol (♥) in username, and now I can not login into my macbook air as I can not type the ♥ symbol with keyboard. apple tech service said no such experience before.

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

Insert symbols with iPad keyboard

Does anyone know how to insert symbols such as a happy face or a heart using the iPad screen keyboard?

Actually you can add a few with the iPad keyboard that I know of
the happy face by typing
- the colon symbol : and the close parentheses symbol )
the frowny face by typing
- the colon symbol : and the start parentheses symbol (
the winky face by typing
- the semi-colon symbol ; and the close parentheses symbol )
These are the only ones I could figure out just by using the iPad keyboard. You do have to remember to put a space before you type one of the symbols or you end up with something like this:)
With a space in place typing the same two characters you get . I hit the space bar after I typed the word "get" in the previous sentence and then typed the colon symbol and parentheses symbol with no space in between those two symbols.
Man it's much easier to just buy Emoji +

HT201412 did a software update and now the only thing I get is the itunes logo and arrow pointing up and a lock symbol with a line going down toward the screen button. Any suggestions to get this to open?

TS1381 My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226). I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, test all other keys with keyboard view (all others work) - HELP!!

My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).
I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, & tested all other keys with "keyboard viewer" (all other keys work except for the arrow).
In addition, I have gone thru all the recommended checks with universal access and have booted from snow leopard dvd and the left arrow still does not work.
I have tried using the left arrow key in all of applications I use such as: excel, ms word, address book, calendar, iphoto, terminal, & highlighting an icon and using the arrows to move to another selected icon.
Here is the kicker! In addition, I purchased a logitech solar bluetooth keyboard and the arrows work fine with my ipad but do not work when paired with the macbook pro. All other keys work fine on the macbook pro using the bluetooth keyboard.
I believe this says that the problem is not in my macbook pro keyboard. So where can it be?
Can anyone think of any other rabbit holes I can search?
thanks and regards

I have just downloaded iOS update but this has locked my iPad screen. Screen shows iTunes symbol with white arrow and padlock below it. I have tried to reboot but I am unable to unlock screen. Can anyone help with this please.

I have downloaded an iOS update on my iPad air2 but it has locked the screen and I can only see the iTunes symbol with a white arrow and a padlock below it. I have tried turning the iPad off and on but the same screen reappears. Has anyone had a similar problem?

What that symbol indicates is that your iPad has gone into recovery mode and now it needs to be restored in order for you to be able to use it again. You can reboot from now until the cows come home and it will not do any good.
You do indeed need to plug your iPad into your computer and use iTunes to restore the device.

Firefox mobile doesn't allow to type national symbols with external usb keyboard.

I'm using Asus PadFone with it's native keyboard dock-station. When I try enter text on any text field in web page my keyboard layout is set to english. This doesn't hapen when i write text in Firefox search/url field. Tested with Russian and Lithuanian keyboard layout - it makes no difference. I can write national symbols with on-screen keyboard.
There is no such problems with other browsers, so it's something with Firefox.

Sounds like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669361 tomorrow's Firefox nightly build may have a fix for it. You can try the build at http://nightly.mozilla.org

When I use my Delete key to delete a song, I get a pop-up. This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" button, and so i need to use my mouse. How can I do this only with keyboard?

When using iTunes on my iMac, I use my Delete key to delete a song and I get a pop-up. This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" (or Cancel) button, and so I need to use my mouse. How can I do this only with keyboard?

Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.

Occasionally, some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other images cannot be opened with a double click. They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard. They also cannot be moved to collecti

Occasionally, some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other images cannot be opened with a double click. They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard. They also cannot be moved to collections. Anyone have a solution for this?

When you say "could not be opened"- what are you referring to? A double click of the mouse should view the clicked image in Loupe view- the same as pressing [E] on the keyboard for an enlarged view. (And a second double-click will take you back to library grid view.)
To "open" an image in the Development module requires you to select the image then press [D] or click on the [Develop] button.
When you say "could not be ...moved" -what are you referring to? Are you trying to move an image file from its place in a folder to another folder? Are you just wanting it in a collection? When you drag an image to a collection you are only placing a link to the image in the collection- not actually moving any file. The image will stay exactly where it is in its original folder and will remain as a thumbnail preview in the Library Grid view.
Are you having any "mouse" problems that may be changing its actions in LR ?
Do you see an exclamation mark on any image borders ?
Let's keep working on this. I am curious to see you find an answer.

Charge symbol with arrow pointing to iTunes symbol appears on iPhone 4 screen after updating. What does this mean?

What do these symbols mean on iPhone 4 screen after updating
Charge symbol with arrow pointing to iTunes symbol?...

If you do not have a computer with iTunes running on it, then make an Apple Genius appointment at your nearest Apple Store, or Authorized Apple Support center. If you do not have one of those near by, a friend with iTunes installed.
