It doesn't do what it says on the tin – UK specific problem

My keyboard shows the Pound sign above number Three - logic would have it that the shift key would display that sign, instead I get the hash sign (#) to get my £ I need to press the alt (option) key.
What is interesting is that it's only the case with 3/£, exclamation mark above 1 is displayed with shift and so is the rest $/4 %/5 &/7...
Any idea how I can get the £ sign through Shift?

Any idea how I can get the £ sign through Shift?
Go to system preferences/international/input menu and make sure the box for British is the only one checked.
If that has other key placements that are not what you want, try this site:

  • Site Studio Publisher in 11g doesn't do what it says on the box

    I was wondering if anyone else had managed to get a sensible answer to how SSP in 11g publishes it's content? I know that a similar question has been asked here without response.
    The documentation states that it can be used to push content to a web server for consumption but isn't totally clear how that is done. The documentation would seem to say that it uses the Filter sets to push to the target server
    download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e10618.pdf section A2.8
    The intention is for a Contribution server only with no UCM Consumption instance and the content (mainly static) being published on webservers.
    We have raised this now a couple of times with Oracle Account managers to get a clear steer on this.
    The response?
    The last response we had was that SSP doesn't do what we want and that we need to buy/procure a 3rd party product to do the publication.
    When I pointed out that this would seem to be a backward step in that Oracle have removed functionality there was no real response.
    Has anyone else had such a response from Oracle or have they had a meaningful reply that explains how SSP is not going backwards and will actually perform its task?
    I'd like a sensible answer somewhere along the line as would I expect anyone contemplating migrating to 11g.

    We had to pursue this in relation to a project I have. We haven't gone this route but the key seems to be WebLogic Server and Oracle Web Cache. This is essentially a reverse proxy but with additional features.
    Now to find someone who has already done it!

  • HT201407 I bought my iphone 4 in the UK and I am trying to use a sim in the UAE and it doesn't work.  It says that the sim is not valid, how can I get this unlocked?

    You are saying the phone is locked, but then you are saying there is no provider. The two situations cannot peacefully coexist. Contact Apple and they can tell you if the phone is locked and if locked to which provider the phone is locked. People on this board are not Apple employees and cannot get you that information.

    I don't know why wne I put my mac to sleep it will light up it self after a few hour and say that the mac have a problem needs to be shut down, does anyone know why?

    Sounds like it's experiencing a kernel panic. Post the latest report. See

  • Anyone notice what Apple says is the correct operating temp?

    Their spec site says the machine can get as hot as 90 degrees (F). However, my temp gauge routinely gets to 108 degrees (F) - and I know many others go even higher. Isn't that a reason for Apple to fix our machines right there? Either that... or change their friggin' specs!

    Steven, you misinterpreted the specification.
    Operating temperature range 50-95 F refers to the ambient temperature in which you use the computer.
    What that means is that the computer is designed to operate in a controlled environment. If your room temperature exceeds 95 F the cooling system will have difficulty keeping the computer's components cool enough to meet their design lifetime. As far as I'm concerned, I'm designed for a comfortable ambient temperature range between the high-60s to low 70s F in my study, and within that range I'll be happy and so will the MBP!
    There are people who will use MBPs in the desert heat of Iraq or in sub-freezing temperatures and at high altitude on the slopes of Mount Everest. Apple is telling users that those computers probably won't last as long as if they were operated within the intended environmental specifications. Photojournalists often work in hostile environments and so do their Apple notebooks.
    My week 12 MBP doesn't have a heat problem. The areas that I need to touch when I'm using it are the keyboard, the trackpad and the rest areas to the left and right of the trackpad. If they stay comfortable to use in my most demanding applications, I don't have a heat problem. (I don't care if the metal strip behind the function keys gets very warm, as I don't need to touch it to use the computer.)
    I use a KoolSink tilted aluminum stand when I'm using the computer, whether on my desk or in my lap. That helps cool the computer and keep me comfortable.
    My CPU operating temperatures compare to many of those that have had the "grease fix" and are better than some, but I've not done the "grease fix" and don't plan to do that.
    My attitude toward heat works. The MBP is the fastest, quietest and most stable notebook computer I've ever owned and it churns through the work I toss at it without missing a beat. It's in the same performance class as my PowerMac dual core 2.3 GHz but uses much less energy to do the same tasks.

  • Text in Tag doesn't match what's Visible on the screen (Acrobat 8 Pro)

    I have been exporting PDFs from InDesign CS3 as tagged Acrobat 8 compatible PDFs. When bookmarking the PDF, I generally highlight the heading I want to bookmark and do a ctrl-B to bookmark it which copies the text and applies it as the bookmark text.
    One thing I've been noticing is that sometimes the visible text is not the text which actually resides in the tag information (Created by ID CS3 - and it's the tag information that gets copied when one highlights and copies the text)
    For example my heading read "Human Exposure" and when I make a bookmark from the highlighted heading (or copy and paste it into another application) it reads "Humanan Exposure" And if you look at the tag text, "Humanan" is what's reported. The original document had it right and the visible Acrobat document has it right
    I have no clue how this is happening. It's either an InDesign CS3 problem or a Distiller problem
    Has anybody else run across this problem?

    O.K., I understand what you're getting at now...
    No, it is a bold font (Times New Roman Bold).
    I'll look again to make sure none of the line has also been bolded.
    I'm starting to think that tagging is a little buggy to begin with, because the actual header reads as follows (it's two lines because it's in a double columned format):
    Production, Use,
    and Human Exposure
    And if I delete the tag and re-tag it as text, copying the whole selection and pasting it (or bookmarking it) gives "P P P P P P P P"

  • My iPod touch home button doesn't work what can i do about it and I got it about a year ago and wat can apple do to fix it

    I got my iPod about a year ago and now the home buttOn won't work so every time I try to go back to the home
    Screen I have to power off and turn back on and what can I do to fix it and what can apple do to fix it and how much will it cost also the home button is stuck for example the button doesn't "click" when I press it

    Try:

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see/her what they say. The may have a quick fix. Otherwise they will exchange it for a refurbished one for this price.

  • I am crashing all the time thus us what it says is my problem, MWSBAR.DLL. Can someone please help me?

    I have looked back through several of the crash reports and this is what it says is the problem. I am really getting irritated. I can't find anywhere to get help and I would love to continue using Firefox but not if it is gonna crash every 5 minutes literally. Can some one please help me fix this.

    mwsbar.dll is part of the My Web Search plugin.
    You should be able to uninstall it by using the Windows control panel. Open the Windows Control Panel and select the "Programs and features" option. In the list of installed programs click on "My Web Search" and it should give you the option to uninstall it. It may also be known as "My Way Speedbar" or "Search Assistant - My Way".

  • Everything on my macbook 5.1 was erased and then the person who erased it could not find start up disc to reinstall. i called apple and gave them the serial number and they sent me leopard os 10.5 which is what originally came with the computer. not work

    i was given a macbook 5.1 by my mom, being nice, she erased everything on it, but then could not find the original start up disc. i called apple and had the serial number and said that leopard 10.5 was the operating system that orginally came with it, so i bought it. when i got it,i turned on computer, put in dvd, and immediately shut it off, then turned it back on while pressing letter c. (they told me to do this) i can hear the disc turning but alls i get is blank screen then it shuts down, and restarts. nothing ever shows up on the screen. did i get a wrong disc? should there be something different than just the mac os x leopard 10.5 to get this computer to work again?? thanks for your help!

    It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

    I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
    What is "it" and what is "windows"?
    Maybe:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

    I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

    I'm having similar issues with my phone.  I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year.  Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas.  When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore.  I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting.  That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore.   I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
    My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router.  When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there.  Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

  • In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos ( layering one on another) when I click on a brush, I get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instruction say it should do. Instead I can get the eraser to do what I need to do. Why the confusion

    In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos (layering one on another) I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do. I can get the eraser to do what I want. Why the confusion???

    I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do.
    The Brush tool (Keyboard B) has several different brushes in the same slot. Right click on the brush icon and you will see them, or press B sequentially.
    The Smart Brush tool (Keyboard F) has two items in the slot.
    Since you did not provide reference to "the instructions", it is difficult to remedy the "confusion." that exists.
    I suspect that the recipe calls for a mask, and painting with a black brush to mask out certain areas.
    It would help if you post the instructions and what your goal is with more specificity.
