The lower case P doesn't work on any of my keyboards.

Tried other keyboards and it doesn't work on any of them, so it must be a software Problem. Any ideas how to fix?
I have a iMac  Running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • HT201272 All my books disappeared when I bought a new computer and the download previous purchases doesn't work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    This is a problem I'm sure many people have had.
    I purchased several books a few weeks prior to purchasing a new computer. When I set it up using the file I had been saving to for the last couple of year I see that several of the Audio Books I had bought some as late as a few days prior, were missing.
    They're on my purchase list on the apple site but it doesn't let me download them so im stuck. I'm sure apple would just love it if I gave it the old American't try and gave up and called a loss and purchased them all over again.
    I've been using iTunes to make these purchases since they started iTunes. Since this isn't the first time its happened maybe I should call it all a loss and go shopping for another medium.
    Anyones help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    You say "ipod nano" in the subject line, but this is the forum category for the iPod shuffle (and you later say "ipod shuffle" in the post).  Is your iPod a shuffle or a nano?
    Even if iTunes is not installed, an iPod should charge when connected to an active USB port that is supplying sufficient power.  What indicates to your that the iPod is not charging?

  • PDF and Illustrator CC opacity mask.  The opacity mask displays perfectly in the print preview, and in the pdf document when viewed on my computer, but when printed the gradient opacity mask doesn't work.  Any suggestions?  Have not had this problem in ot

    Never had this issues in previous versions.  This IS a black/white gradient opacity mask over a black and white photo, but still don't think that is the problem.

  • URGENT - Error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document" - and there is no index file (so the usually suggested solution doesn't work)

    Hi there,
    As you see in the heading, I am getting the error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document". There has been a number of threads on this and there seems to be a usual work around that works in many cases, by changing the file extension to .zip and then looking for the index file and making some more extension changes...unfortunately, in my case (and it also happened to others), there is no index file, so the usually suggested solution doesn't work...Can someone please help? I am working on a tight deadline and would like to try and recover the file.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Best,

    PS: any other presentation opens fine in Keynote (09)

    Have you tried to create a new Keynote Presentation? Do you have another previously saved Keynote file you can try to open? These will make sure it is a problem with this specific presentation and not the whole program.
    Try to delete the Keynote Preferences. They are located in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and titled com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.
    Your profile shows that you are still on Mc OS 10.6.6, is that true? You might try to update to 10.6.7 as I believe that there was a font issue fixed in this update (I don't know for sure since I am still on 10.5.8).
    Try those and report back and we will see what we can come up with.

    Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

    Wow- thanks Jim! I removed the case and voila... it worked. Knock on wood that you solved my problem with such an incredibly simple solution. I'll find out where this proximity sensor is and make sure my case does not interfere with it.
    Thanks so much.

  • My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5

    My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks, daniel.early79!
    I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
    I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
    Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
    Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
    Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
    I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
    The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

  • HT1349 I bought and iPad 3 in Australia and after returning to England the 4g LTE coverage doesn't work

    I bought and iPad 3 in Australia and after returning to England the 4g LTE coverage doesn't work

    It may or may not be possible to verify the usage of such a technology device. And where did you get the idea that it costs $10 to manufacture and sell an iPad? I think the parts cost alone was $260, not counting manufacturing, shipping, storage, retail space, salespersons, helpdesk support, all the other overhead costs, etc. etc.
    With so many people out there trying to scam the system, it will be an uphill battle to try to convince anyone that you bought it and didn't open the box for 14 months.  That's very unusual.
    At some point, the store you bought something from (in this case it was Apple) has to say no.  What if it had been unopened for 2 years, or five years, or 20 years? This is what the warranty period is all about. It starts on the day you buy it and ends at the end of the warranty period, regardless of usage.
    I am sympathetic to your plight but if you are able to get a new iPad (refurbished would be more likely), it will be through the kindness of Apple going above and beyond.  If you do not get one, it is not Apple's fault you waited this long and there is no requirement for them to replace it.

    Did you make sure that your security software allows iTunes to contact Apple during the restore process? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob
