Minor but urgent problem - for advise pls.

Dear forum friends.
I have accidentally pressed some combination of buttons on my Mac Air and now the entire font of the keyboard has been changed to some strange symbols.
I cannot type any alphabets or numbers anymore. I rebooted I rebooted it but now I cannot even enter the password.
Please advise the basic keyboard combination button to change font styles.
This is a minor but urgent issue for me.
Thanks.

Holding down the shift key while restarting takes me to the login screen. However since the keyboard is altered, out does not enter the desired characters for the password.
Restarting without holding the shift key takes me to two options, Macintosh HD and Recovery HD.
Macintosh Hd takes me to the same login screen as above.
Recovery Hd takes me to below for options :
Restore from Time Machine backup
Reinstall Mac Os
Online help
Disk Utility (repair or erase)
Reinstall Mac os is not working. It says it cannot continue and to contact Apple Care. Why is that? Because I am out of warranty period? I connected to wifi.
The disk utility option shows four items.
121 GB Apple ssd
Macintosh Hd
disk 1
Mac os base system.
Options include erase, restore, etc and to copy which image to which disk.
Please advise.
(what kind of a keyboard setting is this which doesn't undo by restarting. And even doesn't let one login.

Holding ⌘ (command key) and R (two fingers) while starting your Mac (third finger) boots OS X Recovery. Keep holding ⌘ and R until the Mac starts. If OS X is being reinstalled from the Recovery partition then that is proceeding correctly. Wait the 24 hours or as long as it takes for it to download the additional components. When it completes, at the very first screen you will be given the opportunity to select the language you want to use. If that is English, it is the very first selection in the list, so just click the "right arrow" icon.
If that does not fix your keyboard language problem then restart your Mac, use the external USB keyboard, and make sure you select the "US" keyboard (not "US Extended" or any other), from System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources. Do that in addition to the appropriate choices in the Language and Text tabs.
I have been unable to duplicate what you're describing so if these suggestions don't work, I'm out of ideas. Let me know and I'll try to solicit more competent assistance for you.
A hardware fault is possible but from what you describe there is no reason to suspect that yet.

A minor but annoying problem about the downloads tab

Hi All
Today I download some podcasts in the library, after downloaded 5 podcasts, I paused the rest closed iTune, and went back home.
I opened iTune again in my room, and found that the downloads tab did not appear nor resume downloading as before.
I started a new download, downloads tab came back but the previous paused downloads disappeared.
And every time the downloads stoped because of timeout (my poor network), the downloads tab also disappeared.
As I never had this problem before, and today is the first time I download after I update to 7.4.3.1, is this a bug?
Cheers
Jason

What does this have to do with the Matrox device?
It sounds like ...
1. a time code break and FCP is creating a second clip to carry on
or
2. your capture scratch drive is set as MS-DOS and the captured segments are larger than the default file limit.
or
3. something else.

URGENT PROBLEM TO SOLVE, PLS: SETTING CLATHPATH UNDER WINDOWS2000+WHERE...

Hello Everybody!
I've downloaded and installed JDK1.4 (incl. SRC.ZIP + JRE).
Where can I find basic packages (classes as for example java.applet.*, java.awt*, java.io.*, java.io.*, java.math.*, java.net.*, java.util.*, etc.), please?
How should I set CLATHPATH under Windows2000, please?
Thank you very much for your replies with any help in advance!

Not in Win2000, I tried that and it kept myseteriously disappearing from the autoexec.bat after reboot for no apparent reason. The first answer was right. Autotexec.bat is only there for compatability in 2000, not to do it's real job, so for things like setting the classpath which are now done properly elsewhere that is automatically taken out of its hands if you try to do it that way. It is a bit erratic though. In a room of 16 "identical" computers (my class) it appeared to work for some and not for others inexplicably.

LP 8.0.2: Some minor (but annoying) problems from upgrade to 10.6.2

First issue: After a working session on a song I make the "command-q" to exit and... often Logic doesn't quit. It tells me: "Logic doesn't answer" (I have to make a forced exit).
Second issue (directly related to Digi002) Loading a song, Outputs 7-8 of ADAT lightpipe path don't work. I have to delete from the environment the "7-8 Stereo Output" track, create an other new one, and then all work...
Any other encounters these issues?

I wonder why, changing it on template song, it works also on other songs...
In fact it doesn't work.
It seems I found the solution trashing "com.digidesign.CoreAudioManager.plist" preference

Server 2008R2 mapping to shared folders fails users of Windows 8.1 but seems OK on Windos 8.0 and no problems for Windows 7

Having read what I could from the related questions, the answers still elude me. This issue apparently is specific to Windows 8.1.
First, a little background.
1: The server is not on a domain, The system runs Server 2008-R2 standard with all folders shared across a standard "Workgroup" type network. They would prefer to
leave this layout intact.
2: The shared folders are nothing but Data files. There are no active system folders or anything used in an "active" environment. They are mostly Word doc, excel
files, pdf, txt, etc. However, due to the requirements of the software that needs to access these files, they Must
reside on a mapped network drive letter. Nothing else works due to the way the SQL database program stores the reference points back to the data.
I have had some success using what amounts to a “simulated” mapping using WebDAV to access the server. But access speed is a lot slower ad file size is limited.
3: The system has been configured as-is for the past 3 years with Users all on Windows 7 x64 (mixed OS, some Home Premium, some Professional) and the only problems that come up are when
access is through an ISP that blocks port 445. This was the original reason for finding a WebDAV/Cloud method just for those Users since they were unable to Map drives to anything on the Office Servers from their Home Internet even when using a VPN.
When Windows 8.0 became the only version available, I added a few users whose new laptops came with 8.0 from the vendors. While there were a very few minor problems, for all practical
purposes, I was still able to provide access to the mapped folders.
As the Windows 8.1 roll-out progressed, some users were successfully upgraded while others are still stuck in Windows 8.0. The issues with this seem to be hardware related and vary
depending on the Make and model of the laptop. I have been assured that eventually all of these will be able to advance to 8.1. But this delay has given me an excellent mixed OS environment for testing.
On the users who have not yet purchased new equipment and who are still using Windows 7. There has been no change. Their drive mapping is stable and they can always connect as usual.
Those blocked from lack of port 445 or still blocked. Systems inside the Office and those with ISP's who allow port 445 can use all mapped drives as normal.
Users who had Windows 8.0 and who have not yet been able to upgrade to 8.1 also have been unaffected. Same results as Windows 7.
Users who got the Windows 8.1 upgrade as well as those that came factory loaded with Windows 8.1 seem to be a never-ending list of problems. The ones that came native with 8.1 are worst
of all. The list of error codes runs through everything that has to do with “communication with the server”. As far as I have seen, this appears to be the issue.
Whether they are in the office on a wired network connection or at home on a Wi-Fi connection, the issues have the same results but the actual error codes may vary slightly. All of
them refer back to an inability to communicate with the server.
Nothing on the server has changed in any way. Users with Windows 7 continue to have zero problems, Users with Windows 8.0 seem to be doing fine as well. Only those with Windows
8.1 are affected and their problems are dramatic with everything from a total loss of drive mapping to misdirected data when the maps are active.
I have tried to make the drives automatically remap on reboot. I have tried registry modifications. I have done everything I can think of to make a difference but the results are the same
for every system using 8.1. The mapped drive letters invariably disappear. Sometimes while the system is in use ( I think I have been able to trace this to times when the system enters Sleep or Hibernate) but always when the system reboots.
One detail that might point to somewhere is that the "time to connect" when mapping the drive is so long that I believe some of the original failures were due to not waiting for a
minimum of 3 or 4 minutes to give time for the Shares to show-up in order to map them. Once the mapping is successful, the file access speed seems normal. But invariably, the drive becomes "unmapped" repeatedly each day.
I know this was a long question but I have tried to provide every possible detail for anyone who has experienced events like this who may already have a solution. I would even be glad
to purchase a 3rd party application if that is what it takes to get this to work. My next planned effort is to try using Server 2013 but I am afraid that might open another can of worms for those who still use Windows 7.
I have also been told that this is in some way related to the push to "Cloud" support in Windows 8.1 OS but I do not see where this would come in. I can say that this was the
one place where things continued to work as before. People who had Windows 8.1 and who had to use the CLOUD copies of our data are still able to connect to it with no problems.
Any suggestions appreciated. Preferably those that would not need extensive changes to the basic network structure. This "workgroup" consists of less than 25 users and any
extreme measures would be hard to justify

Hi，
I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

HT201077 Since upgrading to IOS 7'photos taken on my iPhone are not transferring to the cloud. Sometimes a few will up load but then nothing for weeks. Anyone else had this problem

Since upgrading to IOS 7 the photographs I take on my iPhone 4S do not transfer to the cloud. Sometimes one or two of them transfer but then none for weeks. I have deleted photos from the cloud in case it is full but to no affect. I use my iPhone in conjunction with an iPad so this is driving me mad. Anyone else have this problem?

No you're not the only one having this problem in fact many people are having it I spoke to Apple support today about it. First it is my opinion the aspect ratio is different on iPhone 4s compared to iPhone 5s, however I really feel it is a software issue. Just to make sure I am having the same problem you are I will describe my issue. I Have confirmed the following: if I Center an object on my iPhone 4s screen and open the picture while I am still in the app (open on the bottom left it)looks fine. But when I open camera roll and open that particular picture it's also fine
Until I scroll left or right it pulls the image to the left side appearing to cut off the left side of the image. After talking to Apple support today and my knowledge with Apple products I strongly suspect this is a software issue. Apple asked me to do a restore as a new phone but I'm not going to go through all that nonsense when I believe it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. So again to recap to answer your question you're not alone, theses sort of things are expected when they rollout a new iOS just hang in there and let's see if they put a patch out for next update.
