T400, Backslash appearing as #, all the regional settings are correct though

hi
I have a T400 laptop, its regional settings are set for english (ireland) and i have also tried the Irish(ireland) settings, but for what ever reason, the Backslash, which is located just above the "enter" key, when pressed brings back the hash# symbol, when pressing shift, it brings back the ~ , and i cannot find the backslash, unless i use charmap.
any ideas on how to sort this issue??
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

just did some more diggin there,  under the "Text services and input languages" i have set the "Default input language" as "English(United States)-United States-International.
this has sorted the problem
thanks for all the help and input.
Regards
Damien

  • After a trip to Brazil, the App Store apparently thinks my iPad 2 is still there. When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct.

I apparently need to switch locations manually, specifically for the App Store. Help?

    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.

    I just had the same problem updating my iPhone 4. I found out by turning my Kaspersky virus protection OFF, then everything worked out, and I was able to update my phone.
    Virus protection programs can cause alot of problems sometime, so it's worth a try if you haven't already tried.

  • When I bring up Firefox it asks me to make sure the Proxy Settings are correct. What are the proxy settings?

    When I double click on the Mozilla Firefox icon to open it up an error message comes up and says "The Proxy Server is refusing connections" Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
    Please help me with this.
    Thank you

    Try the following solutions and whichever setting works, keep it Permanent:
    1) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option1 -> Click OK -> OK
    2) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option2 -> Click OK -> OK

  • I recently downloaded lots of CD's to my itunes library. I have itunes match. None of the downloads are appearing on my ipad or iphone. All settings are correct. Anything I purchase on itunes shows up in the cloud on all the devices.

    I downloaded CD's to my itunes library. I have itunes match. All my itunes purchased music is on my ipad and iphone cloud. For some reason, while the cloud appears in my library, the CD's that I downloaded (popular ones that itunes recognize) are not showing up on my ipad2 and my iphone4s. When I purchase songs from itunes directly they show up on all i devices (with the cloud icon). In my itunes library all the new downloads from CD's have the icloud icon. However, none of these downloads are showing up on my ipad and iphone as stated above. All my settings are correct. I am sure I am missing something, but not sure what....if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. thanks.

  • Settings bage appears on all the thumnails (DNGs) in Bridge CS5

    Hi I would be very grateful if someone could help me.
    When  you view Thumnails in Bridge, only the images that you applied some Camera Raw  setting, will show a little icon (Settings bage) in the top right hand  side corner of the thumnails.  But all of a sudden all my raw images (DNG)  show this bage regardless whether or not Camera Raw settings were  applied.  Does any one know why and how to get rid of them?
    The only thing I did a couple of days ago was to update via Help --> Updates in Bridge.
    Many thanks

    Thank you for your reply, Curt Y.
    I always convert NEFs to DNGs when downloading and in the Camera Raw Preferences I chose "Ignore sidecar 'xmp' files" option. And I don't use Lightroom.
    I don't think I have any xmp files.  I double checked to see if there are any xmp files in the folders with the "show all the hidden files" option in the Control Pannel and there aren't any.  Only hidden files are Bridge cashe files.   I thought all my image settings are embedded into the DNGs. I never had this problem before until a couple of days ago.
    By the way why do you suggest not to work with DNGs?  I thought that DNGs are a future proof way of keeping RAW files.  I had a bad experience with NEFs.  Some of my early NEF files which were edited with Nikon Programme cannot be opened in Capture NX.  Nikon tech support could not help me with this problem.
    Curt Y, your last comment 'would assume that since it contains edits to image the badge is supplied', can you explain again? I don't understand.
    Many thanks

  • I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

    I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

  • HT6170 Since i got my iPhone 4S, Last year. it's the 8gb experminetal version. My phone's volume always appears. All the time. And since i got the iOS 8 yesterday. It got even worse, it won't get out anymore. I'm super mad. I need an answer real soon

    Since i got my iPhone 4S, Last year. it's the 8gb experminetal version. My phone's volume always appears. All the time. And since i got the iOS 8 yesterday. It got even worse, it won't get out anymore. I'm super mad. I don't know what's going on. Is it my case? But, i don't use a case anymore. It doesn't even lessen. And when i take pictures for like 10 seconds, i get like 50 photos. Without even clicking the button. This is a real problem for me Apple, and i need you to do something about it. I need an answer real soon.

    I got Troubles too with iphone 4s with the new iOS 8, its unstable, apple said its for that model to but its not totally true, well few troubles disappear if you do this:
    First you need to Sync your iphone like regular you do it, but check you could made a Saffety and restore back up manually in your computer.
    then when this it's already done, disconnect your iphone, then restore your iphone as factory settings, beware! don't do this if you don't have your Saffety copy first!
    when you restore your iphone as factory settings iTunes will ask you if this is a new phone or a previous phone, well, select previous iphone and select the back up copy you made, and let iTunes restore all, that fix a few issues in my phone, but the real problem its iOS 8 its not good for 4s.

  • TS3147 Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2?  I can't find Normal, just Draft and Best.

    Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2??  I only have Fast, Fast B & W, and Best.  I want Normal so that it looks good but doesn't print so slowly.  Help.

    Hi,
    Change the print settings manually by clicking the lowest drop-down within the print dialog (e.g. the application name, Copies & Pages within MSOffice.
    Select Type/Quality and set the print quality as Normal.
    You may seve the settings as a Preset from the Presets drop-down menu.

  • My iphone is silent since downloading IOS7. All settings are correct and the side button is on.

    My iPhone is silent (ring tones and text alerts) since downloading IOS7. All settings are correct and the side button is on. HELP! Missing inportant calls.

    Try hard reset.
    Hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes black. Turn the phone back on.
    If that doesn't work, back up the iphone using iTunes.
    Re-install the iOS by putting the iPhone into DFU (recovery mode.)
    To do this,
    Make sure the phone is pluged in to you computer with iTunes open.
    Hold the Sleep and home button until the screen goes black, immediately release the sleep button but continue to hold the home button.
    After a few seconds your iTunes should recognize your phone in DFU mode.
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    At this point you should click on "Restore iPhone"
    After your phone is done restoring, don't start as new iPhone. Restore from back up.
    If that doesn't work, you're SOL.
    Take it to Apple. Tell them they are stupid.

  • Trying to publsh changes to my website. I get a message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I did, and all my settings are correct, but still cannot publish

    Trying to publsh changes to my website. I get a message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I did, and all my settings are correct, but still cannot publish.
    Any other ideas?

    Most likely you are suffering from a bug in iWeb that doesn't let you publish websites if an image you have added to your site begins with space. You can either search for that image and remove it.

  • Flex pitch feature is not working on all the regions why is that?

    Flex pitch feature is not working on all the regions why is that?

    Sorry that my guess about what you are using was wrong. How about telling us exactly what you installed to provide that '''auto translate''' feature in Firefox?
    If you don't know, give us a list of the extensions that you ''do'' have installed so that we don't have to wildly guess or so we can do an '''''educated guess''''' as to which one isn't working.
    Help > Troubleshooting Information = use the '''Copy all to clipboard''' button, then paste into a text editor program. Then delete all but the list of '''Extensions''' and copy'n'paste that to the Reply box here.

  • How to avoid Java Studio Creator 2 to use the regional settings?

    How to avoid Java Studio Creator 2 to use the regional settings to select the language that will be used to display the IDE in a certain language?
    My country settings are set to Belgium (French) but I want to have my IDE running in English.
    What should I change in the defautl properties of JSC2 to avoid this behaviour?
    Please, don't tell me to change my regional settings, it is not a valid answer :-)
    Best regards,

    just modify creator.conf in directory etc/
    add: -J-Duser.language=en
    in the netbeans_default_options line:
