Key caps in system 10 ?

this may be a dumb question, but, now that we are up to version 10.4.10 of OS X, is there a replacement for the ancient "key caps" of classic ?

Yep. Open International preferences, click on Input Menu tab. Check the option "Keyboard Viewer" and the option "Show input menu in menu bar."

Keyboard settings stuck on Key Caps/Link Troubles

Somewhere between finishing the installation of a Belkin wireless G router on my iMac, and rebooting the system to finalise, something has gone horribly wrong. My G3's keyboard now types in nothing but non-English symbols - the key cap settings have taken over. I'm almost positive that I've pressed the wrong key combinations at some point and wrought this newbie nightmare upon myself, but damned if I know how to reverse it. I've checked the keyboard control panel several times, and it always says that it's set to Roman characters, and US English.
Another anomoly that began at the same time is my inability to click links in IE 5. When links are clicked, the download manager comes up, but the target page does not. Bookmarks/Favorites work, but the links on any page don't.
And finally - for this installment - the "close window" box at the top left no longer closes level by level. It now closes out the entire folder at once. I had none of these problems fifteen minutes before finishing the Belkin and a Charter High Speed self-install disc. What the blazes did I do wrong, and please please pleeeease, someone help me figure out how to fix it!
Now that my panic and griping are out of the way, I can say hello to you all! I'm a Windows-raised computer geek, desperately wanting to make "the switch" for good. Hard to do that, though, when I can only type in French and German accents (on my PC at present.) I bought my iMac second-hand, and although it hasn't been upgraded since its whopping 64 megs of RAM were put in, it's every bit as quick as my 768 meg PC. Sometimes faster. Go figure.

There's a distinct possibility that your USB port is overloaded. Are you running the Wireless router from a powered hub? What happens if you disconnect the router?

Is there something similar to Key Caps in OS 10.5?

Call me old fashioned, but after using Macs for 20 years now, there are actually a few things from the old operating systems I miss, like Key Caps. I've found Font Book but is there anyway it can show me the key strokes required to pull up an embedded character? Or do I have to keep the old PowerMac with OS 8.6 going forever?

Calculator And Key Caps?????????:

I have seen a picture on Wikipedia of a OS 10.4 Calculator. It is much larger than the one on Dashboard, and I would like to have it.........
...And does OS X have an on screen keyboard like Key Caps????????
If not, I guess I will use Classic (TruBlueEnvironment) to load the old Key Caps.

Open the International pane of System Preferences and enable the Input menu and the Keyboard Viewer.

I have changed the keydb.xml and changed the profiles for scs port from 3901 to a different one and still getting the same error.Any advice or suggestions?

HI,
Try couple of thing
1) DB is up or not
2) Port 39xx is free or not
Also you can Try to restart the installation after checking....I feels this is due to corrupted cache and something , may be waiting for other answer will help you.
Other wise re-installation you can try.

Need new key-caps for Thinkpad T61 wide-screen.

There seem to be lots of types of key-caps. How do I tell which one I need. I did try to find it on line, but its too confusing.. There's a lot of info and a lot of videos. Once I GET the key caps I can watch the video to see how to replace (or get desparate and go to geek Squad.

Welcome to the forum! Are you trying to just replace a few keys or the entire keyboard? The video will walk you through replacing the keyboard but not individual keys.

Exact Steps to Generate Installation keys for other systems In SolMgr4.0

Hi friends,
Please provide me exact Steps to Generate Installation keys for other systems In SolMgr 4.0 SR1.
I have steps to make this thing in solmgr 3.2 as please change as it in solmgr4.0 sr1
txn SMSY
Expand Landscape components -> Systems
Right click on Systems ->New System
Type SAPID, & Installation No. (S44 , 0040099252) & sAVE
Expand Newly Added system
Right Click & Create
Now we can use the key provided by the system.
Please make required changes as applicable in solmgr4.0 So that I can proceed.
Also clear vat is the difference between ECC & ERP as solmgr4.0 mention both as two systems.
Thanks & regards

Hi Jaswant,
to generate a Solution Manager Key you can process a little bit easier.
Call transaction SMSY, press shift+F5 (you get the "other objects" popup).
As System enter the SID of your Solution Manager.
->select gen.Installation/Upgrade Key (shiftctrlF10))
then you get a new popup. In this popup you DELETE all values, enter SID of the new system, the message server of the new system and the system number of the new system. Then press generate key.
With this procedure you do not have to add the system to SMSY to generate the key.
Later you should add it to SMSY, maybe you have added an SLD to SMSY then the system will be added automatically. If not you have to add it manually.
Second question ERP <> ECC
Good question, ECC is part (a main instance) of ERP, so it is up to you if you classify your system as an ERP or ECC.

Have 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless KB. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) are not working. How do I fix this?, Have 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless KB. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) are not working. How do I fix this?

Have a 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless mouse and Keyboard. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) on KB do not work any longer. I attempted to replace wireless KB with wired KB, but could not find one that was compatible with Snowleopard (10.6.8) OS. Would like to replace KB with either another wireless KB or wired KB.
However, in view of the scarcity of the above items, it appears I might serve myself better by fixing my current KB. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Please help on key caps of Thinkpad X61, thanks.

My notebook is Thinkpad X61 bought in December 2007. The cap for key "S" is lost and I am wondering where I could get a new one? I mean the black, plastic key cap covering the "real" keystroke with letter "S" engraved on it.
I am in Melbourne, Australia. Anybody can provide the contact details of Melbourne-based Thinkpad Service Centre?
Thanks a lot!

Question:
1) Does moving the tables to another tablespace
SIGNIFICANT better than moving the tables to the same
tablespace for the purpose of re-org? As i can see
that moving to the same tablespace don't help much.If you create LMT ( Locally manage tablespace) and move table to LMT , it will improve performance. Also collect stats for table after major update/delete/insert.
2) As for my case, my filesystem do not have enuff
space for the new tablespace to cater for the 400
tables. So i can only resort to the export/import
method?
Yes, there is no other solution if space is not there

Cleaning and replacing key caps

Is there anywhere u can buy key caps for the MacBook Pro so u can replace it?
If not then how do i clean the key cap so that the oil stains come off?

UPDATE:
After printing 10 pages on photo paper, all with streaks, I shut off printer. The next day, I tried again, and no streaks. I am considered looking into an extended warranty for this product. FYI, to inquire about extended warranty services, you can contact:

T410s Fn Ctrl Key Caps?

First of all, kudos to Lenovo for implementing the Fn-Ctrl swap in the BIOS. I have an X100e and a T410s, works great on both.
On my X100e, the physical key caps were the same size, so it was easy to switch the physical Fn and Ctrl keys. However, on the T410s, the key caps are different sizes (Fn smaller than Ctrl), so they can't be directly swapped. Is there any way to get key caps in the opposite sizes (smaller Ctrl, larger Fn)?
Thanks in advance...
(Aside: why can't Fn+C ALSO be copy, etc? It currently doesn't do anything else....would solve all of this nonsense in the first place....but I digress)

Um...what?
Are you saying, "I don't think that you can get key caps for Fn and Ctrl of the right size such that they can be replaced after performing the BIOS Fn-Ctrl swap?"
If that is true...anyone have any other ideas? Maybe there's a way to get the labels/stickers?

How do I remove my MacBook's key caps?

Key Caps Sound

Guys,
Call me lazy but is there a way to play a sound when you strike a key when the key caps lock is on. I have the problem of forgetting the caps lock is on until I get halfway through a sentence. I know I should be looking at the screen when I "touch" type -- but I don't.
Any suggestions?
Regards, Phil

You are GOOD, my friend! I did as you said. Got the Caps Lock sound working on the new account. Rebooted just for the heck of it. Logged on to my original account. Caps lock now has sound again!
Thank you!

Removing key caps on the new Apple Keyboard

I'd prefer to rearrange the physical key caps on the new aluminum keyboards, is there a relatively safe way of removing them?

srdjanst wrote:
After only a couple of months of use, some of the keys have become really squeaky, and some feel as if the spring is broken so they produce unpleasant sound.
Contact Lenovo about this and ask if they'll replace the keyboard under warranty.
Before you call, pull out the keyboard and write down the FRU number. The procedure for removing/replacing the keyboard is in the Users Guide.
Lenovo buys keyboards from several different manufacturers. When you call Lenovo, give them the FRU number and ask for a replacement from a different manufacturer. The FRU is different for each manufacturer of the same keyboard so by giving them the FRU of your keyboard they can send you a replacement from a different maker.
