MacBook keyboard character error

When I type the letter "k" on my MacBook (white, 2008) the character is rendered as an asterisk. This does not happen when I use my bluetooth keyboard (it renders the "k" correctly). Thanks.

Yes and it worked initially (once), but started again and is not corrected with restart or Snow Leopard upgrade.

  • Show Keyboard & Character Viewers setting not working

    I like to have access to the Keyboard and Character Viewers in the menu bar; however, the setting on my new MacBook does not work. I have checked the "Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar" many times and it unchecks itself as soon as I leave the Keyboard tab of the Keyboard setttings in System Preferences.
    Could a preference file be corrupted? (I migrated data from my old MacBook (OS 10.7) to my new MacBook (10.9). Perhaps this has something to do with the problem?)
    Or, is there a command line way to show the preference that might stick better than the checkbox in the System Preferences?
    Any insights would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Robert.

    The Input Sources menu has to be enabled to show the Keyboard & Character Views menu, which appears under the Input Sources menu. This was not the case in Mac OS 10.7, which I was previously using.
    However, it is odd that the Keyboard & Character Views option is not greyed out in the Keyboard tab when the Input Sources menu is not enabled.
    Indeed, the way Apple has done this in Mavericks seems both odd and cumbersome.   I think it would be worth telling them so at

    The official instructions assume you have already enabled the input sources menu:

  • Why won't my Macbook keyboard work?

    My Macbook keyboard is not working. It was fine earlier but upon using it again later I realized that all the letter keys did not work. Whats more is when I try to type with a letter key the mouse cursor vanishes and the trackpad registers single clicks as doubles. I can use a USB keyboard fine and typing with reverses the aforementioned trackpad error (though it returnsw as soon as I type with the built in keyboard again).
    Any ideas?

    Further, do you know for sure that your MacBook Air model supports keyboard lighting?  Not all of the models support this.
    Which model do you have?  (Go to About This Mac (under the Apple logo in the menu bar), click "More Info" toward the bottom, and tell us what the top 2 or 3 lines say in the resulting display.

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks for your adhoc response.
    I have gone thru the Document 222663.1 and it says that the Developer 6.0.8.23 is required to handle this problem. We are using almost the updated Developer version i.e., Developer 6.0.8.25. So, this should be handled automatically, but it still errors out. Please suggest.
    Thanks,

  • Invalid character error while activating DSO - Please help

    Hi experts,
    I'm getting invalid hex character error when loading a text infoobject in my DSO. Repairing data records in the PSA is not an option. Changing the data in the source system is also not an option. I've tried many of the methods suggested in other threads, but am unable to get it working (ABAP code, "ALL_CAPITAL" etc). We are on an unicode system.
    Can someone provide some clean code to eliminate the illegal hex characters (00-1f) in my transfer rule routine. Basically, replace the illegal hex characters with space or an acceptable character.
    Many thanks,
    Anita S.

    Hi,
    I have used the below code for removing all unwanted chars from 0MATERIAL, that worked fine. You can modify it for ur need.
      CONSTANTS:
           G_ALLOWED_CHAR(58) TYPE C VALUE
             ' !"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.
        data : E_ALLOWED_CHAR(58).
    RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-MATNR.
        SHIFT RESULT RIGHT DELETING TRAILING SPACE.
        SHIFT RESULT LEFT DELETING LEADING SPACE.
        TRANSLATE RESULT TO upper case.
    *RESULT = comm_structure-/BIC/ZCONTRTD.
        while RESULT ca '#'.
          RESULT+sy-fdpos(1) = ' '.
        endwhile.
        if RESULT(1) = '!'.
          RESULT(1) = ' '.

  • SQL Loader Multibyte character error

    Hello,
    Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
    Database Characterset: WE8MSWIN1252
    To load an utf8 File (UTF-8 Unicode text) i use option characterset UTF8 in controlfile.
    All went fine until in textfile the column is filled up with 40 chars and
    german umlaute included (ÜÖÄüöä...)
    Loader stops (errors=0) and gives:
    Record 146466: Rejected - Error on table 'TableName', column 'ColumnName'.
    Multibyte character error
    * use CHAR(40) and POSITION(start-end) for field description - no help
    * modify column, from VC2(40 char) to VC2(50 char) - no help
    * without characterset UTF8 option i got wrong characters for german umlaute - no help
    * manual insert the data from this row with NO problems !
    any hint or workaround?

    Hi Werner,
    on my linux desktop:
    $ file test.dat
    test.dat: UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines
    my colleague is working on a windows system.
    On both systems exact the same error from SQL Loader.
    Btw, try with different number of special characters (german umlaute and euro) and there is no chance to load without the error
    when to many (?) special characters or data is long as column length and special characters included.

    First, technical questions need to be addressed to an appropriate technical forum. The Products | Database | Globalization and NLS forum would probably be appropriate for this sort of question.
    Second, are you seeing a particular Oracle error (ORA-xxxxx)? Are you using a front end? If so, which front end?

    ## put this in a UTF8 file without delimiter and enclosure like
    The basic question is how you put the characters into the file. Most probably, you produced a WE8MSWIN1252 file and not an UTF8 file. To confirm, a look at the binary codes in the file would be necessary. Use a hex-mode-capable editor. If the file is WE8MSWIN1252, and not UTF8, then the SQL*Loader control file should be:
    LOAD DATA characterset WE8MSWIN1252
    TRUNCATE
    INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
    ID CHAR(1)
    , TEXT CHAR(40)

    Hi Werner,
    on my linux desktop:
    $ file test.dat
    test.dat: UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines
    my colleague is working on a windows system.
    On both systems exact the same error from SQL Loader.
    Btw, try with different number of special characters (german umlaute and euro) and there is no chance to load without the error
    when to many (?) special characters or data is long as column length and special characters included.
    Regards
    Michael

    Can't load App Store on my macBook Pro.  Error is; You cannont open the application "App Store" because it is not supported on this system.  How can I upgrade App Store or download new version?

    Problem now resolved as I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.  Seems App Store doesn't like anything previous to 10.6.

  • Unsported character error in message mapping

    I use a sender mail adapter to read an xml and then map it to another message type. Most of the time, it's ok. But when there are some special German character such as ö ä ß, then I get the "unsuported character" error.
    Anyone could help?
    thanks!

    As the mail server provides the correct encoding, the MessageTransformBean does the conversion to UTF-8.
    If the encoding was not set by the mail server, then the MessageTransformBean would only set the content type, but not do any conversion.
    When you are not sure, if the content type is by the mail server, you can apply the MessageTransformBean twice: First with iso-8859-1, second with UTF-8
    I am not sure, why the mapping tool cannot do the conversion, but I think this is because the content type is not application/xml. But this is only a guess.
    What happens, when you only apply the MessageTransformBean, but do not change the XML encoding?
