Shortcuts on keyboard to unusual symbols & ¾ etc etc

Hi,
just a quick one, I know there´s a shortcut in the top of the screen via the country flag to special symbols etc, but I´m trying to set up specific keyboard commands to often used (weird) symbols.
For instance: ✈.
How could I get (for argument´s sake) Command + Z to do this please?
I´ve been to settings, keyboard etc etc, but it won´t let me select certain keys for symbols, only programs.
Anyone an idea to speed things up?
Cheers,
Not a Clue

    You can't, that's the Undo shortcut.
    There may be actual ways to remap keys, but here's one way you could do this. Open System Preferences -> Language & Text and click the Text tab. Set up a replacement... say, replace "->-" with the airplane symbol. Then, you've got to enable text replacement in individual apps (in Edit -> Substitutions, or in Safari, control-click in a field in a form, like the one you type messages in here, and look in the Substitutions menu there).

    To make a screen full screen, you click on the arrows in the upper right corner.  To minimize, move your cursor all the way to the upper right corner of your desktop--give it a second--a symbol will appear that lets you "reverse" the action and minimize the window.  Hope I'm explaining this correctly. 

  • What is the Keyboard Shortcut to make a COPYRIGHT Symbol on the iPad?

    There's probably another way but if you enable the Emoji keyboard (settings/general/keyboard/international keyboards/add keyboard/Emoji) then it's available there.

  • Trouble changing icon in any application, file, etc etc

    I've followed the instructions to change an icon and have done it before with success. But it's not working anymore? Here are the steps i'm doing.... Am I missing something?
    1. right click on icon that i want to use as the "new icon"
    (i believe this is the problem... preview.app is opening the icon. with in get info, the "icon" at the top is just your generic "jpeg" icon. In the "preview" window towards the bottom shows a picture of the icon)
    2. select get info
    3. right click on "icon" at top of preview window
    4. cmd c to copy (also tried copy from file drop down)
    5. repeated step on target app to chang icon
    6. cmnd v to paste (also tried to paste from file drop down)
    doesn't change the icon on the target app or file etc etc....
    signed.... confused?

    OK, try doing both a SMC and PRAM reset and see if either takes care of the problem.
    iMac
    SMC & PRAM Resets
    There are a couple of things you can do before heading off to the Apple store, a SMC and PRAM resets. To do these:
    _SMC RESET_
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Attach the computers power cable.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    _PRAM RESET_
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    • Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If it still doesn't work then try restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear out some caches which have become corrupted. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455

  • Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?

    I don't have the same version of OS X here but try System Preferences>Keyboard. Is there an option similar to "Use the F1, etc, keys as standard function keys"?
    If so, and it has a checkmark, uncheck it & see if that does the trick.

  • There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader etc etc error code 103?? Help Please

    Adobe Acrobat Reader issue as above - downloaded latest version again still issues. I am using an old Acer laptop with Windows XP which I only now use for printing

    The  etc etc refers to the usual standard message as follows - also re Acrobat I was merely repeating the message given.
    'there is a problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader. If it is running exit and try again (103:103)' this was the exact message given. I had version 11.0.08 which I have now deleted and am using an earlier version 10.0.4 which seems to have resolved the problem for the time being

  • I am on Acrobat DC trial. On earlier versions have no problem with duplex printing. Now with DC, it's impossible. I have tried downloading latest printer software, etc, etc. Nothing seems to0 work. Any ideas please?

    Ralph, Thanks for replying. There where no received SIP messages at all just the INVITE being sent but I have made some more progress. The mini does indeed just work. I can do everything that you are supposed to do to other ichat users on the internet. Very nice.
    The imac is still playing up but I have got further. I had peerguardian2 installed which unknown to me doesn't need to be running to prevent you for accessing 'barred' IP addresses. snatmap.mac.com is barred in the lists! I discovered this when I saw one of your other posts showed how to turn on terminal logging for ichat. Now that I have turned off peerguardian2 (using the disable filters option) I can make calls to the testbot and see the adverts. I have even done a video conference with the two testbots. I will just uninstall peerguardian2.
    However, I can not get a AV chat working to a real user....
    In response to your suggestions:-
    I have tried all the options for quicktime streaming but will try 1.5Mb/s again.
    The ichat bandwidth limit is set to "none". I am in New Zealand and I have standard ADSL (not ADSL2+) 7.6M down 512K up. The mini config is also set to none.
    Internet sharing is off.
    I have had parallels on the machine but the two interfaces that it installed "Parallels Host-Guest" and "Parallels NAT" are configured 'off' and show as not connected. Is this enough? I will uninstall parallels and see if that helps since I don't use it. I also have VMware's thing installed but that doesn't seem to add any interfaces.
    I need to capture a full trace of the imac to other ichat user to see what is happening but will update when I have does your suggested changes or have a trace
    Thanks again

    I know of no way to remove encryption on iTunes backups if you've forgotton the password.  If you've used the 4 digit PIN code to lock your iPhone in the past that can sometimes default as your "password" for this encryption in iTunes.  Try that PIN or any PIN you've used in the past.  If you don't use a lock maybe you played around with that feature once when you first got your phone....try "1,2,3,4" or anything you could have possibly tried.
    As far as accessing older unencrypted backups you can try this software.  I do not have any experience using it but it seems like it's what you need and is probably the easiest route for both voicemail and texts:
    http://deciphertools.com/products.html
    If you want to try to find voicemails using Terminal, I found this link as well:
    http://mikereys.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/iphone-backup-restoring-visual-voice-ma il/
    I know with AT&T, voicemails are only stored on their servers for 30 days so any voicemail older than that you would not have been able to access again.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3?  I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying "Can't open file" etc., etc. I've tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

    Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens. 
    What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb.  Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.
