My keyboard has changed on my MacBook?

My keyboard has changed on my MacBook? My Zoom in is now on my command key instead of the control key... How do I restore it to the original setting?

To prevent this being accidentally activated in the future go to System Preferences>Keyboard>KeyboardShortcuts>Universal Access and uncheck all the boxes.

Keyboard input change after Mavericks update.

I am currently using a MacBook 13 inch unibody and since the update to Mavericks my keyboard has changed. I use a Japanese keyboard and have now lost the abilty to enter the at mark @ (that was copied and pasted). A lot of the other keys have moved. I have checked the keyboard input sources and there is only 1 listed for Japanese (kotoeri) which used to work before.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Apple seems to have gone back to the old system where Kotoeri uses the last-active keyboard layout. Try switching to US in the "flag" menu before switching to Kotoeri and see if that works.

Hi colin the card,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you purchased your device in a different country than the one you reside in and want to change the currency symbol typed from the keyboard. The article linked below will provide details about changing your MacBook Airs region and currency format.

Late reply, but if anyone is experiencing the same problem, I've found a solution. For whatever reason, some macbooks don't recognize usb flash drives during the boot-up phase, even though the usb ports themselves are powered (I tested this with a multimeter). The solution then, was to use an external USB hard drive that has its own power supply to install Snow Leopard. I don't know why, but it's the only way I got my macbook (Macbook 2,1/A1181) to recognize the install drive. Every was smooth sailing from there!

Hi, did you upgrade the OS lately?

My keyboard layout has changed. I no longer have an @ key.

About an hour ago, my keyboard layout changed (but only when using firefox) so that, for example, Shift+2 no longer produces @, but rather double quotes ("). Also, pressing the [ key now produces nothing, but the next key I hit after it will produce a hat. Example, the [ key and a g will give ^g. There are other peculiarities, such as the / key now shows é, and a few others.
Everything I check on the internet seems to be telling me the problem lies in my keyboard layout settings in Windows, and possibly having to press LeftAlt+LeftShift (or just Alt+Shift) to readjust them, or bringing up the language bar, etc. But all of my efforts to fix language indicate to me that I'm currently operating with a US keyboard layout (which is what it`s supposed to be), and again, this ONLY happens in firefox and no other programs.
Any ideas?

See:
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* 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 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.
* 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 Ctr+Shift)

I've got a power cable from my 2011 macbook air which I would like to use as a spare cable for my new 2013 macbook pro, but the design has changed. Is there an adapter available so that I can use it?

Recent software upgrade has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook, and diary items no longer upload from my iPhone. I've tried a to fix it and seem to have made things worse. What is the best way to get the two devices in sync ?

Recent software upgrades has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook and items entered on my iPhone are no longer uploaded to my macbook. I've tried to fix it and seem to have made things worse, my iPhone now has a long list of calanders that I don't want and can't delete and nothing is uploading to my macbook.

You need to look at Mac's iTunes, check  > System Preferences > iCloud.
If you use iCloud for Calendar, Contacts then turn off those items in iTunes, Info tab with your iPhone connected and selected.

My MacBook Air keyboard has become raised and spacebar is not working!

My sons MacBook Air Keyboard has become raised/warped. The centre point of the raised area is the top left hand corner of the trackpad. I would say the highest point is 2 to 3mm above the normal surface line.
The first signs of the problem was an inconsistency in the spacebar operation. Now the spacebar fails to operate at all! Apart from the Spacebar the Air seems to perform all other functions normally.
The raised area /warped area has also created a wobble when the MacBook Air is on a flat surface.

MacBook Air 1.6 Ghz Intel Core Duo

Software Mac OS Lion 10.7.1
Thank you for taking the time to read my issue and hopefully provide some guidance!!

If your Air came with Lion pre-installed you might find it a bit complicated to downgrade. In any event the battery should be replaced under warranty. [My 17" battery was replaced by Apple at the Genius Bar even though the year warranty had expired; they were genuinely concerned since there was a safety issue concerning power!] On the point about your 3 Lion concerns, I note that many on this forum have dealt with similar issues. In my case I purchased a new machine with Lion rather than upgrade my existing Snow Leopard MacBook Pro 13" or iMac 27" and have found there to be no troubles whatsoever. I enjoy the speedy response and smooth execution of tasks on 10.7.2. Good luck with your battery issue.

MacBook won't join networks on startup - what has changed?

I seem to have posted this in the wrong forum (Tiger rather than Snow Leopard), so on advice from iyacyas I'm reposting it here. Maybe it should be in the MacBook forum, but I will start here:
I am using my MacBook with the same version of the OS and the same networks as 2 weeks ago, but now I find that when I start up the machine near a known network (a WiFi router permanently connected to the Internet), the WiFi connects but I am not actually on the Internet. If I turn Airport off and on again, or if I renew the DHCP lease in Network Preferences, then I connect to the Internet instantly. This happens on networks in different countries with different levels of security (including one network with no security at all). I can't figure out how to fix it, and I can't figure out what has changed. I have done various Apple updates since installing 10.6.2 but none have claimed to do anything to network connections. Can anyone help me to get back to where I was.
BTW this problem doesn't seem to occur on my other Macs (one Intel, one PowerPC - tho these don't move around between locations) or my iPod touch.

Thanks - it took me a long time but eventually I tried a version of this. My MacBook remembers maybe eight networks and I don't know how easily I could re-harvest their passwords (the person who set it usually has to be present to tell me and that's not always the case), so I tried it with just one network, the one which I'm using now and which I set up myself. As it doesn't have a password (I live a long way from the next house and my nearest neighbours are a couple of un-cyber-aware horses), so there was no Keychain entry that I could see for the password. So I just deleted the network from the Airport list, and sure enough when I restarted I got an Internet connection immediately. However when I tried it again this morning, the problem had returned. As before, I can't see what has changed since this worked every time, nor what is the difference between my restart and my turning Airport off and on after the machine boots up.
Puzzled.

Lumia Black Update has changed the keyboard layout

I updated to Lumia Black on my 920, and the keyboard layout changed - most importantly, the space bar is smaller, and the comma moved, which means all of my messages typed now,look,like,this,
Can you revert the whole update or change the keyboard? It's enough for me to abandon the phone (that and the fact the screen appears to have been heat damaged by the wireless charger)

This has resolved my issue! Thanks Yas..

My phone has changed from the numbered keypad to the large lettered keyboard. When I enter my 6 digit passcode it tells me I'm wrong. I've tried about 6 times and don't want to get locked out. It just started today??? Please help.

HT201335 What has changed regarding watching youtube on my apple tv from my iphone and macbook pro in the past month or two?

In the past month, I have stopped being able to play youtube content to my apple TV from my iphone - I can only get audio to play, and no video. When I activate mirroring, the video quality is much worse than it ever was before. Additionally, there is no option to play any content from youtube to my apple tv from my macbook. What has changed?

The native Youtube app was removed in IOS 6. You would have had to download the official 3rd party app, which has not been enabled for airplay. This is up to the developer to do.
The only way to do stream Youtube content from laptop to Apple TV natively is through Airplay mirroring, which requires a recent (2011 or later) model running Mountain Lion. The alternative is going through software, Airparrot.

Dropped ice cream on macbook. now the keyboard has become sticky. can i get it cleaned from the inside from applre store or or somewhere else?

If the ice cream as only affected the keyboard and not run onto other components they will perhaps suggest a new keyboard, I would be surprised if the could economically clean it up. If it as gone on the logic board then that is another problem.
