Keyboard doesn´t use the correct symbols

Using the shift key doesn´t produce the ´correct´ symbol. For example, SHIFT + 2 produces " rather than @. (To type this I had to type it out in word first, where the shift key does work normally, and copy and past in this Details box. From left to right on the keyboard, these are the symbols I get with the shift key
§"#$%&_()'?
As you can imagine this makes it very difficult and irritating to work in firefox.
Hopefully you have a solution for this.
Thanks, Jane

It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident by using the key sequence to rotate the keyboard layout.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application
* The default key combination to rotate the layout is the Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift combination that is used in Firefox for menu items, so it is possible to change the layout accidentally.
* To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
* Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

  • Image script doesn't use the correct host name

    Hello NG
    I created a ZCM Imaging script so that I got a prompt for the name of the
    workstation. Unfortunatelly the script doesn't work correct. I set as WSName
    following Name WS999
    After the Image was restored, the hostname was set to Company-SJCFNSG
    (example: Company = Novell) NOVELL-SJCFNSG
    What could be the cause of this problem?
    Here the script i used:
    IMGSVR=192.168.4.30
    while test ! $WSNAME; do
    echo -n -e "\n Please set NetBIOS Name and a accept with Enter: ";
    read WSNAME;
    done;
    if test $WSNAME; then
    zisedit Name=$WSNAME;
    fi

    img -rp MyAddOn2.zmg
    sleep 10

    I did find the solution!
    In earlier Zenworks versions the wsname was set by "zisedit name=PCName01"
    now in ZCM10 and ZCM11 the variable did change so I had to modify it to
    zisedit Computername=PCName01
    if test $WSNAME; then
    zisedit ComputerName=$WSNAME;
    fi

  • In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?

    In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
    When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
    How can I type using the Apple Symbol font?  I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

  • How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

    Hi,experts,
    I don’t know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
    Action:
    1. config the ADS successfully.
    2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
    3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
    I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
    CONCATENATE
    '1、aaaaaaaaaaa;'
    '2、bbbbbbbbb '
    '3、ccccccccccc'
    '4、ddddddddd'
    INTO remark .
    lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
    EXPORTING
    name = `REMARK`
    value = remark ).
    But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
    Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi,
    If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
    this.rawValue    
    = util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
    This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
    If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
    function        toTitleCase(textValue)
      return  textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
    This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.

  • Services doesn't use the software application I want...

    I have DevonThink and, with a new installation of Snow Leopard, I discovered that the Services associated with text selections (take rich note/take plain note) only offers to perform that action opening DevonThink.
    Previous to Snow Leopard, I could use Services to take a DevonThink note or clip the selected text to open in TextEdit. Ideally, I'd like to still have both options, but can't figure out how to do it. If I had to, I'd prefer to get rid of the DevonThink and only have the TextEdit option in services.
    How would I do this--either naming two options in services for taking a note or getting rid of the DevonThink one?

    I'm thinking you might have the answer here, but the process goes awry somewhere.
    Here's what I have:
    --I've selected text in an email (not all the text, just a section).
    --I left click while holding 'control' key yet my options don't include an "open with" (I have: Search in Spotlight / Search in Google / Look up in Dictionary / Copy / Speech / New To Do / Services
    The Services option drops over to Capture Web Archive/ Take Rich Note/ Take Plain Note /New to do containing Selection as Note / Import Recipe from Web Page / Clip Recipe.
    When I use either of the "take notes" option, it again clips it into Devon Think.
    What am I doing wrong? I'd dearly love to find the the "always open with" to change it.
    (And, to the previous poster, yes, I've used the Services preference pane but it doesn't allow me to change the application from DevonThink, it just gives me the tick box and the keyboard shortcut to use the clipping with DevonThink.)
    Thanks to all for helping me puzzle this out...

  • I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password.  I have tried everything.  I even changed the password, nothing is working.  Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphon

    I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password.  I have tried everything.  I even changed the password, nothing is working.  Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5.  I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack.  Please help, I need to use this feature soon.  Thank you so much

    Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information.  Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection.  Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
    Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

  • 'You Are Not Using The Correct Type of Phone Cord' Error

    Having a issue with my fax on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless.  Tried to send a fax, it  received a send error.  I ran fax test and it came back with "You are not using the correct type of phone cord".  Nothing has changed since I last fax'd but I check the lines and connection, everything appears ok.  Phone jack is connected to 1-line and Officejet '2-ext' is connected to the phone.  I use a dedicated phone # and the Officejet is set to auto answer.   I can call out and receive calls on the phone connect to the Officejet.  My assumption is that since I can use the phone without issue there is nothing wrong with the phone line.  Any ideas?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I was having the same problem.  I'm using a the 2 wire phone cord provided with the printer and still getting this error.  Turns out that it related to have a phone extension plugged into the printer.  If I unplug the telephone form the extension jack on the back of the printer, then the fax test passes.   I was even using a 2 wire cord on the phone extension but it seems that simply having a telephone plugged into the extension jack will cause this error. 
    Run the test without a telephone plugged into the printer's extension jack and you should be fine.
    Worked for me!

  • HT203167 I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4.  They are still on my computer, but won't re-transfer back to the phone.  I'm using the correct iTunes account.  How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?

    How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?
    I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4.  The ringtones are still on my computer and play in iTunes, but they won't re-transfer back to the phone.  I'm using the correct iTunes account on both my computer and phone.  In the iPhone view of iTunes on my computer, it shows that my phone recognizes that I had those ringtones, but there is an exclamation mark showing that my phone can't find the files.  I can't delete these "placeholders" from my phone with the hopes of re-transfering the files back to the phone, either.  I cannot just simply re-transfer the files from my computer back to the phone.  It won't let me using the regular synch options and I can't find anything in the menus of iTunes to help me out either.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. 

    Ignore.  I figured it out:)

    Does your phone show the correct time?
    If not, change the time on your phone, see if it helps.
    If it does, then sign out, sign back in. If that fails, the delete and reinstall. If that fails, then contact Facebook, as they're the developers of the app and will have the proper documentation to help you further.

    I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
    As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.
