My key board is stuck in the fuction setting only while in fire fox. i can`t use the question mark i only get this É

My baby must of hit a combination of keys while no one was looking and i don`t have use of some of my keys any more it`s like my function setting on the key board is stuck on. It only does it while in firefox though my keyboard works normally otherwise

In addition to the above:
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
See:
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.<br />
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)

My forward slash key doesn't work, however the question mark button does can i change this?

The forward slash key doesn't work on the keyboard, however when pressing shift it works for a question mark. Is there anyway of fixing this?

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

1. Press the F2 key couple of times.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

I am stuck in the big screen and cannot get out.

I hover the mouse at the top but the menu will not appear. The only way to solve this is turn off the computer. Surely there is a better way. What am I doing wrong?

Solve what? What iMac do you have have? What operating system?
What EXACTLY is the problem you are having?

Are you simply trying to reduce the size of the window? Justy click the green button.

Quit the editor, then restart it while holding ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

After reinstalling mountain lion i got the question mark on the screen

hi everyone,
after reinstalling mac os x 10.8 from internet recovery, mac restarts itself which is normal.
but when it starts there is a question mark on a folder symbol on the gray screen.
what should i do?

The question mark appears when your computer can't find any bootable volume to start. This can be because of two reasons:
1. Your computer has forgotten the startup device.
2. The hard drive is damaged.
First of all, turn off your computer and turn it on again holding the Option (Alt) key, so you will see all the bootable volumes on the display. Choose the OS X volume and set up OS X as normal. Finally, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose your OS X volume

My MacBook Pro Hard Drive recently gave me the gray folder with the question mark of death. Even as a Mac Newbie/Novice, I successfully installed a new hard drive and the OS (10.6.8) software from my installation discs. I have, however, lost the ability to play video using the spacebar and I have no idea on the steps necessary to correct this seemingly simple technical blip. .Here's my system overview:Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2 Processor Name: Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 3 MB Memory: 4 GB Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s.
I am using the Premiere Pro CS5 NLE (with the 5.0.4 updates), and I have tried to reinstall the software (which is actually the Production Premium package) several times, but I still cannot use the spacebar (or any method) to play any of my imported videos.
PLEASE HELP in any way you can!
Prior to having to replace my hard drive, my software was working just fine. No problems at all. But now, it seems that I can't get it to play whatever type of file I import.
Again, I am a newbie to the Mac, so any and all correctional/repair assistance needs to be expalined as if I were a child : )
I would hate to try to revert to considering the sophmoric Final Cut Pro X editing software package, but I've got to do something to be able to get back to my editing activities.

@FatMac the internet recovery doesnt work. It goes into recovery mode and then when i try to reinstall it cant find a disk to install it to. So what would be a good choice to take now?
Recovery Mode presents you with, among other things, Disk Utility. When you open that, if the internal shows up at all, first try to "Repair DIsk." If that doesn't work but if the "Media" line is present, try to format and partition it with a GUID partition table (understand that you will be erasing the contents of your internal). Then try to reinstall the OS. If that doesn't work, and since your Retina MBP didn't come with a DVD drive or DVDs, you'll need to try a hardware test using these instructions from Apple (short version: shut down, press the power button and hold down the "D" key). If none of those things work, let's hope you either have AppleCare or your warranty has some life left because the SSD in your rMBP is proprietary and expensive. You'll need to bring it to an Apple Genius for evaluation.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
Power on the computer and insert the DVD immediately.
Hold down the 'C' key to boot from the Snow Leopard DVD.

After selecting the appropriate language, if necessary, select Utilities, and Disk Utility.
You'll likely need to partition and format the new drive before it's recognized.

When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion OS, after I select the "Buy App" option I get this "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" message, how can I upgrade?

When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion OS form Lion OS, after I select the "Buy App" option I get this "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" message, what is causing this problem, how can I find a solution, is someone else having this problem?

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps.

HT203254 What is the question mark when I turn on the power?

When I turn on the power, it doesn't work but the question mark appears. What am I supposed to do? (question mark inside of a file mark)

The question mark means the system can't find anything to boot from. See this Apple note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440?viewlocale=en_US
You didn't specify your operating system, so if you have Lion, go into Lion recovery by booting and holding the command and R keys down to access Disk Utiity to repair the disk.

If I reset my Mac's PRAM and NVRAM because the question mark in starting up . Will that earase anything ?

Hold the option key down and boot your computer, a row of icons appears, select your OS X and click the arrow
Once in, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select yours, this will tell the firmware again what your supposed to boot from.
If that doesn't work, then run through this list of fixes

Can t find the question mark on the keyboard

hi
I ve just installed tiger 2 days ago and I can t type the question mark any more.. it gives me either this ^ (with shift) or § (with alt)..
any ideas..

gallinette:
Boot from the Tiger install disk.
Go to Utilities menu.
Launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in sidebar.
Select First Aid tab in main panel.
Click or Repair disk button.
If DU reports disk needs no repairs, quit DU.
If DU reports errors, click Repair again and again until DU reports disk repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
In this case, because of your keys being out of order, I believe Disk Warrior will do a better job.
While booted from internal HDD go to Home > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in sidebar.
Select First Aid tab in main panel.
Click or Repair Disk Permissiions button.
Quit DU.
Please don't hesitate to post back with further questions or comments, or to report on how procedure worked for you.
Good luck.
