Setting keyboard type.

im just wondering why i cant change my keyboard type under systems preferences keyboard.
when i open the configurator and click on the next key beside the right shift which is z the configurator cant seem to recognize it.
can somebody help

It is not clear what you are trying to do to me, Kilopopo.
Firstly, when you say "the next key beside the right shift which is z" do you really mean "the next key beside the left shift which is z"?
Do you mean that, in System preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts, you can't set the z key in combination one of the "modifier" keys (command, option, control) to perform a particular type of action in a particular applications or situations?
Or do you mean something else altogether?
If you spell out the steps you are following and the result you want to achieve in more detail it will be much easier to help you.

I have just bought a MacBook Air in Madrid, but the keyboard types ç when I hit -, for example, when I hit shift for the bracket sign I get *. How can I re-set it to type what I see on the keys.

I have just bought a MacBook Air in Madrid, but the keyboard types, for example, ¿ when I hit shift and the semi-colon key, and = when I hit the ! key. What do I have to do to reset it to function normally?

Go>Preferences>Language & Text>Input Sources
Click off the flags of the countries you want--like if you need a British keyboard that has a British pound symbol, pick that one.
When you're done picking, them leave preferences. Now, in the upper right-hand corner of your computer, next to the date, you'll see a little flag. Click on that. You'll see all the flags you picked. Choose the one you want. Your keyboard will now give you the symbols, letters, etc. that you would get if you'd bought the computer in that country.

Wireless logitech keyboard - unable to set keyboard map in X.

Hi,
i have a wireless usb keyboard - logitech k360. When I restart X i always have to manually set keyboard layout using "setxkbmap pl" which is little annoying.
My laptop keyboard has polish layout set correctly. I tried to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf, but cannot find the right options. Here's how it looks now:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbModel" "logii350"
Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
I've tried to remove option XkbModel, tried to set it to pc105 and now it is set to logii350 (I've searched through the /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/ to find my exact keyboard model but it isn't there).
Funny thing is, that when I type some polish character at my laptop keyboard, suddenly wireless keyboard gets good layout.
Any thoughts?

Is this one with the Logitech Unifying Device receiver?
There are a few threads on this forum about it defaulting to the default QWERTY layout (hell, I have an AZERTY layout - not just as a locale, the key prints are AZERTY). It seems to be some udev bug.

Can my iMac be set to type with French characters?

Hello all! Can my iMac be set to type with French characters? If so, what is the path? And, is there a keyboard overlay to see where the French language characters are located on the keyboard? Thanks!

Hey Steve,
Thanks again for the thoughts... Unfortunately, the only characters that I can use keyboard shortcuts for French are the é, ç and the á (it's better than nothing).
Outside of that, I have to switch keyboard layouts. I know of the accent grave ( `e ) that's nextdoor to the number one key... But it don't work... my translator thinks it's a typo... because it takes up a whole characters worth of space instead of sharing the space with the actual letter (vowel), like the other accents.
So I need keyboard shortcuts for:
ê Ê Ë ë è È
Ô ô Ö ö
à À Û û
I use these letters just enough to make switching keyboards back and forth a little irksome. Since the two keyboards have pretty distinctively different layouts and then we have the position of the A and M keys and.. well... see where this could lead??? LOL
Thanks...
I appreciate your thoughts, as always...

Setting Keyboard Shortcuts for Services won't work

I've tried to set Keyboard Shortcuts for Services like "New Terminal Tab from Folder" but it won't work. I even tried it on my friend's machine to no avail.
Here's where I'm setting it up. And yes, I've turned on the checkbox & set the shortcut I want. I've even tried a few different keyboard shortcuts that are complicated to ensure that it's not competing with something else.
To note, I'm using TotalFinder but my friend, whose machine I tested this on, doesn't.
We are both running 10.8.2 on the latest MacBook Pro with Retina Display, 15".

I have a similar scenario......except my services that I created run one time, and then won't run again.
For example, I created a service to open a new blank email message for me to type in. I assigned Cntl-Opt-Comm-M to this service. I hit the key sequence and it works the first time.....the mail window pops open.
If I then close the mail window that it spawned and do it again, no mail window opens.
I also did this to create a blank Calendar event and also another one for Reminders.
They all run one time and then not again.
Any ideas?

LXDE: wrong keyboard layout or keyboard type?

Hi all!
I'm running Arch on LXDE, and having a keyboard issue
I set the keyboard layout during the Arch install (a french keyboard), and on LXDE (editing /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart)
SO, I got the right azerty layout, but there's some keys I don't have access to.
Mainly the "alt" ones:
ie, I can press the "_" key, and acess "8" with shift, but can't acess the "anti-slash" with right alt
nor the "at" character with alt+0
I guess it's probably more of a keyboard "type" than a keyboard "layout" issue, but I can't find any info on the wiki?

Hallo haiku

"Change Keyboard Type" dosen't show in Keyboard Preferences

I am using Logitech wireless solar keyboard. But today my iMac doesn't recognize the keyboard. I tried it with another iMac, and it worked. So I tried to reset and paired the keyboard with the first iMac. But one thing I noticed was that in this iMac, the "Change Keyboard Type" in Keyboard Preferences is not showing. The OS I am using is the most recent, and the same with the other iMac. In fact, this iMac is newer than the second one. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Right now I am typing with Apple wireless keyboard. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your suggestions but they haven't solved the problem for the iMac. Right now we are using a work-around by having students type their text in Text Edit and then paste it into FCP. This is very strange. As I said before the keyboard works in all other applications, is set to US standard layout and allows certain key commands like copy, cut and paste. We've tried deleting and reinstalling FCP with a shutdown in between and the problem persists. Has anyone else heard of this happening to another Mac? Thanks.

Document types displayed as folders when arranged by set to type

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with the finder since upgraded to Lion.
I use to open finder in column view with "Arranged by" set to "Type" and "Sort by" set to name. But the thing is that the titles/names of the document types are sometimes diplayed or behave as ordinary folders.
Look at the snapshot below (sorry it's a french one): in the left column, display is fine. But in the middle one, "Dossiers", "Contacts", "Documents PDF" and "Documents" are displayed as ordinary folders.
Note that the issue does not limit to the display. These non existing folders can be selected with my mouse.
Moreover, it happens randomly and I checked on a new Account: issue is still there.
So, as anyone observed that ?
Thanks a lot,
Nicolas.

Sorry for the late reply, but yes this happens to me quite often.
I have no solution to the problem, but it is rather annoying. Especially if you navigate from one column to another. The first file or folder does not get selected instead it is the "headline with the folder icon" that gets selected. Irritating and it looks terrible when highlighted.

Mapping with Scd operator set to type 2 reading source records two times

Mapping with Scd operator set to type 2 reading source records two times.Records selected count being displayed at the end of execution is double the source record count.This possibly is affecting the performance of the mapping.
Is this a bug in scd type 2 operagtor in OWB 11gR2.How to rectify this umwamted double loop through the source data selectiom?

Hi Roelant,
I think it is important to be aware that although Paris - 10gR2 - is not actually buggy (in this respect!), it is really quite idiosyncratic in exactly how it processes SCDs.
I followed up on your and Mark's comments, and did an in depth analysis of this topic. It is at http://www.donnapkelly.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/documents/OWB_10gR2_SCD.pdf
My conclusions are perhaps of interest to anyone considering doing SCD processing with Paris.
I'll be doing a follow-up this weekend, and publishing a sort of 'how-to-do-it' guide.
Cheers,
Donna

How to set field type choice using csom (c#)

I have a field type: Choice (menu to choose from) which is not multichoice. How do I set a value?
I have found code for multiple choice but it doesn't seem to work for single choice.

Hi,
The following code snippet for your reference:
newListItem["ChoiceFieldName"] = "ChoiceValue";
newListItem.Update();
clientContext.Load(newListItem);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
If you are assigning a Value which is not in the Choice Column, You need to create a choice value then assign it to the item.

HellO:
I would not waste time trying to troubleshoot the problem. Since it is new, call Applecare with a warranty problem. I had a similar problem with a new KB some time ago and it was replaced at no cost (shipping included).

Setting thermocouple type in scan engine

I am using cRIO 9211 to acquire thermocouple data using NI Scan Engine. I don't see any option to specify the type of thermocouple other than by right clicking on the module (in project) and selecting Properties.
Is there a way to programmatically set the type of thermocouple?
If this is not possible, can I can read the cjc and offset channels, so that I can convert the raw voltage to temperature in my RT code?
Will I be able to read the cjc and offset channels if I use NI Scan Engine Advance I/O Access?

Set Aggregation type of Count Distinct to use correct table aggregation in

Hi there,
Currently I use OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 , and there is a case where a fact table consist of 2 logical table source: detail and aggregate table, which has some measure using count distinct as aggregation type. The problem is everytime I browse the measure with no dimension at all , it always use detail table not aggegation one..
Really appreciate for any suggestion ..
thanks a lot

Hi,
I don't think it's the same case as mine. Let say I have 2 table : detail and aggegate
Detail Table consists 4 fields:
*) Period
*) Market
*) Region
*) Measure : Customer ID, Sales
Aggregate Table consists 3 fields :
*) Period
*) Region
*) Measure : Customer ID, Sales
in the measure I set aggregation type for each field:
*) Sales >> set as Sum
*) Customer ID >> copy as "Number of Customer" and set as Count Distinct
In each LTS' contents I set the level of aggregation using "Get Levels" feature..
Then I try to browse via Presentation and do some querys belows:
a) only choose single field of measure : Sales, the session shows that the value is taken from aggregation table and just as I expected.
b) choose period and sales, the session shows that the values are taken from aggregation table, and still just as I expected.
c) choose period, sales , and market, the session shows that the values are taken from detail table, just as I expected.
d) only choose single field of measure : "Number of Customer", the session shows that the value is taken from detail table , this is NOT as I expected. It suppose to take the value from aggregation table..
e) choose period and "Number of Customer", the session shows that the value is taken from detail table , this is also NOT as I expected. It suppose to take the value from aggregation table..
I've tried to override the aggregation , but still confuse how to apply in measure "Number of Customer" and did not work at all..
any idea ?
thanks a lot

Can someone help me in setting task type property from excel vba.
I have attached my sample code used to generate the mpp file. It is not the complete code but you will get an idea from it.
Set pjApp = CreateObject("MSProject.Application")
pjApp.FileNew
Set newproj = pjApp.ActiveProject
newproj.Tasks.Add (task_name)
newproj.Tasks(mpp_row_number).Start = task_start_date
newproj.Tasks(mpp_row_number).Finish = task_end_date
newproj.Tasks(mpp_row_number).ResourceNames = resource_name
pjApp.FileSaveAs mpp_file_save_path & mpp_file_name & ".mpp"
pjApp.FileClose
pjApp.Quit
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Syamku,
A simple example that sets the task type:
ActiveProject.Tasks(2).Type = pjFixedDuration
ActiveProject.Tasks(3).Type = pjFixedUnits
ActiveProject.Tasks(4).Type = pjFixedWork
