Keyboard punctuation marks suddenly changed

I&m a little baffled. When I was using my iPad with the wireless keyboard this morning I was typing along with problems but after a jont in my backpack the punctuatiion marks that correspond to the number no longer match.
2 should be a quotation marks but comes up as @
6 should be the emporers and but now comes up as ^
7 should be an apostrophe but comes up &
8 should be a bracket but comes up *
9 should start the bracket but now (
Other punctuation marks around the keyboard are also switched around. I didn&t turn off the Bluetooth setting when I put it in my bag, so I&m guessing that some combinations of keys switched the layout.
At the bottom to either side of the space bar are keys I can press to change the language but there&s no way I&ve found to revert it back to the layout I used before. Any suggestions?
thanks
sws

Good mooring to you both. I tried both your suggestions and neither worked, so I opted for the easy way out; I took out the batteries, wated ten minutes and put them back in. That did work. I can kick myself for not thinking of that sooner. Still, I did learn a bit about setting the keyboard layout, so that you all for taking the time to write me back.
Cheers,

Change user's OU with punctuation mark doesn't work by Rename User View

Hi,
I have problem with moving user between OU by Rename User View when punctuation mark in name of OU is used.
I have own WF that assign user to specific OU depending on value of Select component. When value of this component is changed (against previous value) I call Rename View, that assign user to new OU. For OU without punctuation mark Rename View works OK.
After finishing WF with punctuation mark in OU this Error appers:
java.lang.RuntimeException: There is no such object on the server.
But creating new AD account (by role assignment) in OU with punctuation work OK. In select component is rule that replace puctional character in correct form.
Select component:

Hi,
I discovered following:
- if name of OU in AD is without space (e.g. test,sample) so DN record is test\,sample and user is moved into this OU.
- if name of OU in AD is with space (e.g. test, sample) so DN record is still test\,sample and user isn't moved.
So problem is with empty space. How can I preserve space in DN name? I found something in documentation but I doesn't work for me.
+Special Characters in FieldValues
If you have a field value with a comma (,) or double quote (") character, or you want to preserve leading or trailing spaces, you must embed your field value within a pair of double quotes ("field_value"). You then need to replace double quotes in the field value with two double quote (") characters. For example, "John ""Johnny"" Smith" results in a field value of John "Johnny" Smith. +
(from IDM Business Administrator's Guide, p.77)
Guided this information I put value of slctOrganizationalUnitUzivatele into "". But this didn't work. Is good idea to have space in DN?
Thanks for help.
Petr

Indesign ME CS6: Punctuation marks change direction when exporting to PDF

When exporting to PDF (for press) - some punctuation marks (! & ") beahve as if they're "left -> right" (in the PDF only!) instead of "right->left" - as they appear in the open file.

If I understand this correctly, then before you opened a PC-sourced INDD, this never happened? And now it happens with all new files? Was that PC-sourced InDesign file from an English non-ME install of ID?
If doing so is not a big deal for you, I would almost want to suggest the "Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" approach coined by Sigourney Weaver's character in Aliens. I.e. something happened to your ME install by simply opening up a non-ME file, and clearing prefs didn't fix it, so I'd be ready to uninstall, run the Adobe Clean tool, and reinstall.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
I hope that I'm wrong, and that there is some kind of preference that can be tweaked to get this to work correctly. I'd start by removing Font Explorer X entirely. It's also worth trying to make a new user in OS X and seeing if a fresh user experiences the same issue.

Adding punctuation marks above text letters

I frequently use the Welsh language in my letters and e-mails and have not yet found a way of placing the circumflex(^) as a punctuation mark over certain vowels, which can convey a quite different meaning to a word if added or omitted.There is a Welsh option in the Keyboard viewer, but this seems no different to the British version.
The mark(^) is, of course, available on the 6 key uppercase, but how do I place it OVER the vowel in question?
Glad of any suggestions,
Diolch yn fawr!
Hen Gymro.

Caution
It's not sure than a character available in TexEdit may be used in AppleWorks.
TextEdit is Unicode aware while AppleWorks is not.
The chars with a circumflex usable in AppleWorks are:
Â â Ê ê Ô ô Û û Î î
Here are some which aren't:
Ĉ ĉ Ĥ ĥ Ĵ ĵ Ŝ ŝ Ŵ ŵ Ŷ ŷ
For my own use, I built a table of favourites for the Character Palette tool.
In this one, I put the "accented" chars usable in AppleWorks.
So I may enter them by a simple drag and drop.
It's a pity but with Mac OS 10.4.x, the good old double click is no longer usable to enter a char from the palette when AppleWorks is active.
Some one decided to disable it because some users complained because double clicking an Unicode character gave an odd insertion.
This is what in France we describe with the formula (throw away the baby with the bath's water).

Japanese punctuation marks on iOS

Our Japenese translators noticed that punctuation marks (dot and comma) are not displayed correctly in our Adobe AIR application when running on iOS. The marks are displayed vertically centered instead of bottom aligned. It does not reproduce on Android and desktop. I'm using device font to display the labels. Any workarounds?

Hi,
So there are fonts that can have all types of glyphs. In our specific example both Chinese and Japanese glyphs. In such a case a character code could resolve to both Chinese and Japanese and with both choices the runtime may pick either of the glyphs based on a certain logic. If however you make sure and use the right font name then the runtime knows exactly where to look. Try changing the font to a Japanese font, I think that should work.

Safari Doubles My Punctuation Marks..

Does anybody here know why Safari often doubles my punctuation? Here is an example:
Hello,, Bob.. Send it via smpt..mac..com.. I can’’t fix it..
It usually happens when I hit the next keystroke (even the space bar) after typing the punctuation mark, although I can back space and delete the extra character. The page also often freezes while I’m writing text, so I’ve started writing my text in Tex-Edit Plus and just pasting it into the text field in Safari. Even when the page freezes, I can usually still view pages in other tabs. I think that the freezing might happen often when I move by clicking the mouse in a text field and/or use the tab key to change text fields. Have you heard of this before? Thanks.

This problem was solved in another thread by David Gimeno Gost.

It turned out to be a corrupt Launch Services database. Thanks David!

IMAC OSX 10.7.4 Safari why does screen suddenly change to large print etc when I cam surfing the net and how do I change it back to normal size

Safari - Since changing from Leopard to OSX when surfing the net, my screen suddenly changes to large print/icons etc. How do I change it back to normal. It is driving me crazy

That's caused by the "Smart zoom" feature of the magic mouse. It's a Double tap with one finger to zoom and repeat to unzoom.
You can turn the feature off if desired in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click tab

My IMac has stopped seeing the keyboard. I have changed the batteries and the green light comes on saying it is looking to pair with the IMac but without success. I am left with the IMac switched on and I am unable to enter a password.

I have been using my IMac without a problem when I left it and went back to enter the password the IMac did not see the keyboard. I have changed the batteries and the green light comes up on the keyboard and then starts to flash indicating it is looking for the IMac but nothing happens. I have tried another set of new batteries with the same result. Is there any known problems in this area. The IMac is 5 months old.
Thank you for any help

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed to a lighter font. How do I change the font back? I'm not speaking of the font size/type in the web browser in viewing web pages, but the font in the application itself has changed. It's rather annoying and would like to be able to change it back! I'm running Safari v5.1.7

OK, Margie, here's what to do . . .
First Quit Safari.
Then Find your User's (Home) folder library.
It's hidden, but here's how you find the Home Library:
Click on the desktop to get the Finder menu. Then go up to "Go" in the menu bar, while holding down the option key.
You'll now see the User Library in the drop down list. Open it, then look for the Fonts folder.
Take the fonts folder to the desktop.
Restart Safari.
Any better?
(Warning: This is only for the Users/Home > Library > Fonts folder. Under no circumstances, should this be done with the SYSTEM > Library > Fonts folder.)

External hard drives suddenly changed to read only

Three of my external hard drives suddenly changed to read only. These hard drives have been working on my macbook pro for months. When I click on get info 'read only' shows up and there is no lock icon nor is there a window that shows name | permissions, also in disk utility the 'verify disk premissions', 'verify disk', 'repair disk', and 'repair disk premissions' buttons are ghosted and I can not select them. I have not made any changes to my computer and I have read many other posts and have not been able to find a solution.

About a hundred times with no luck. Some of my research is leading to Western Digital, there may be a problem with the drives' 'smartware' software. I've been using this drive for months and I never used the 'smartware', but I tried it anyway with no luck. I just remembered that four days ago I had this drive plugged this drive into an Iomega wireless storage device and it seemed to work fine. Now the wireless storage device can't find the drive at all. I just need to know if there is a way I can change the permissions back to read/write, otherwise I will have to buy another drive and transfer all the data to the new drive and re-formatt the wd drive.

IMac (10.4) suddenly changed the resolution of my display

Hi, my old iMac (10.4) suddenly changed the resolution of my display and I can not change it back. It only happens for my account, and not for the other two accounts on the same computer.
I went to system preferences and display, but the resolution is already the highest.
Can somebody help ?
Thanks.

I am sorry to bother you. I found the answer in one of these forums - Somebody had the same issue: I accidentally pressed a couple of keys and turned on the "Zoom" function - It is hidden in System Preferences / Universal Access, so difficult to find.
Klaus1 gave the answer in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11718411#11718411
Thanks anyway.
