The Pound and Hash keys are transposed on my (UK) iMac since upgrading to Mac OS X Lion.

After upgrading my (UK) iMac to 10.7 I find that the £ and # keys are transposed i.e. shift-3 gives # and alt-3 gives £ which, I assume, is the standard US layout. I also upgraded my MacBook but this transposition didn't occur. What's going on here?!

Firefox crashes when the apostrophe and tilde keys are pressed

Pressing either the apostrophe key or the tilde key is crashing Firefox. It's also happening in other internet browsers and programs (like Skype and Google Talk). I've tried a new keyboard and using different USB ports for it. The first time I tried a new USB port it temporarily fixed the problem, but after restarting my computer for updates the issue returned.
Firefox, the plugins, add-ons and drivers are all up to date from what I can tell.

do the crashes occur too when you run firefox in [[Safe Mode]]? (close all firefox windows & press the shift key while launching firefox again)
probably not related - there's a new version of the flash plugin available. you can install it from [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/] (disable the checkbox for bundled software)

My macbook behaves as if the shift and alt keys are constantly pressed causing permanent special characters. Any ideas how I can stop this happening?

Any help would be hugely appreciated, thanks

But with my function the program doesn't know if the pressed key is printable or if it's shift, ctrl
or something like thatProbably the easiest way is to check and see if e.getKeyChar() < a space character or if e.getKeyCode() >= 127. You can use e.getModifiers() to get the modifier, etc... -- take a look at the documentation for java.awt.event.KeyEvent class.

How can I use the F14 and F15 key for a shortcut?

Hi folks,
I've been trying to assign custom shortcuts to the F14 and F15 keys of my keyboard (wired, full sized type) on my Mac Pro 2008 running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 however every time I try to assign those keys to an app's "Record a shortcut" function I get the same error dialog from the OS:
The key combination F15 can't be used!
The key combination "F15" can't be used because it's already used by a system-wide keyboard shortcut. (If you really want to use this key combination, most shortcuts can be changed in the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences.)
(note: the same happens with F14, F13 and lower as well as F16+ work fine however)
I have looked into my system settings as the dialog suggests however there isn't a single shortcut that uses F14 or F15 anywhere in any of the shortcut groups.
If any of you have an idea of how I could "clear" or even just find out what these keys are currently being used for/by that would be super… they don't seem to do or trigger anything when I press them.
Here is another screenshot of the issue:
Note: This is not app specific, I've tried this in various apps and every time I get the same Mac OS popup.
Thanks for reading,
I look forward to your ideas and insights!

Hi,
Use the step reference to get a PropertyObject reference using the Step.AsPropertyObject. With this PropertyObject reference you can then get the values of Limits.High and Limits.Low using the PropertyObject.GetValNumber() method.
Limits.High and Limits.Low will be the lookup string for the PropertyObject.GetValNumber() method.
Hope this helps

When I type on my macbook air I get the symbols I would get if I were holding down the option and shift keys.

I've looked at sticky keys and other stuff like this they don't seem to be the problem. I guess it is possible that both the option and shift keys are stuck at the same time, but they don't seem to be stuck at all.
I tried a restart and that didn't help and I hit the shift key 5 times....

Have you been able to fix this problem? I am having the same issue with my laptop and it seems like each letter in my keyboard performs a shortcut or function rather than typing letters

I am facing problem in playing yahoo pool in Firefox 4 while it was working fine in Firefox 3.6. In Firefox 4 the combination of mouse keys are not working properly.

I updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the middle scroll button on my Lenovo T400 stopped working. I downloaded the updated Ultranav utility and the Ultranav driver for my T400 from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72858.html and then uninstalled the "Thinkpad Ultranav Driver" from Add/Remove programs rebooted and then installed the updated utility and driver (another reboot) and it now works perfectly.
So glad to get this working again.

How to get the private and public key?

there is my code,i want to get the public key and the private key �Cbut i could not find the the approprite method to solve the problem.
import java.security.Key;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import java.security.KeyPairGenerator;
import java.security.KeyPair;
import java.security.Security;
public class PublicExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
if (args.length != 1) {
System.err.println("Usage:java PublicExample <text>");
System.exit(1);
byte[] plainText = args[0].getBytes("UTF8");
System.out.println("\nStart generating RSA key");
KeyPairGenerator keyGen = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
keyGen.initialize(512);
KeyPair key = keyGen.generateKeyPair();
System.out.println("Finish generating RSA key");
Security.addProvider(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding", "BC");
//System.out.println("\n" + cipher.getProvider().getInfo());
System.out.println("\nStart encryption");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key.getPublic());
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainText);
System.out.println("Finish encryption:");
System.out.println(new String(cipherText, "UTF8"));
System.out.println("\nStart decryption");
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key.getPrivate());
/*i want to get the private and public key in this method ,but i found the result was not
the one i expected to get,how to solve the problem?
thanks in advance!
System.out.println("private key:" + key.getPrivate().toString());
System.out.println("public key:" + key.getPublic().toString());
byte[] newPlainText = cipher.doFinal(cipherText);
System.out.println("Finish decryption:");
System.out.println(new String(newPlainText, "UTF8"));
thanks in advance!

System.out.println("private key:" +
" + key.getPrivate().toString());
System.out.println("public key:" +
+ key.getPublic().toString());
key.getPrivate() returns an instance of PrivateKey and key.getPublic() returns an instance of PublicKey. Since PublicKey and PrivateKey are interfaces then they will return one of the concrete implementations. Check out the Javadoc for PublicKey and PrivateKey.
When you know which concreate implemenation you have then you can use the methods on that object (by appropriate casting) to find the information you want.

How usnig manuplate the Import and export Key word.

How usnig manuplate the Import and export Key word? and
how do the clear of those variable?

HI ,
For IMPORT Keyword :---
To retrieve data from the global memory area, use the IMPORT statement. The most basic form of the IMPORT statement is:
IMPORT <variable> FROM MEMORY.
To give the variable a different name in your program from what it is called in the global memory area, use the TO clause. You must define the local variable name with a DATA statement in your program. The format is:
IMPORT <global var> TO <program var> FROM MEMORY.
As with the EXPORT statement, you can specify multiple variables per statement, and you have the option of specifying which cluster ID you wish to import from.
After each IMPORT statement, SY-SUBRC is set to indicate whether or not the cluster ID you specified exists (but not whether specific variables were imported specifically). SY-SUBRC is zero if the cluster exists.
It is also possible to IMPORT and EXPORT to database tables .
ABAP memory that is used to store exported data is user and transaction specific, so when passing data between programs in this manner you must make sure that transaction boundaries are not crossed. Otherwise the contents of this memory will get destroyed and will not be available to the importing program.
For Export Keyword :---
The EXPORT statement moves data from your program into a global memory area. The most basic form of the EXPORT statement is:
EXPORT <variable> TO MEMORY.
This places the specified variable into a global memory area that another program can later read using the IMPORT statement.
You may specify multiple fields in the same EXPORT statement. For example:
EXPORT KNA1-KUNNR KNA1-BUKRS TO MEMORY.
You can give variables a different name in the global memory area using the FROM clause. For example, the following code exports SY-SUBRC and gives it the name RETVAL in the global memory area:
EXPORT RETVAL FROM SY-SUBRC TO MEMORY.
You can specify a cluster ID when exporting data to memory. You can freely choose the name of the cluster ID, which can be up to 32 characters long. Each cluster ID specifies a particular area in memory. Each time you EXPORT data to the same cluster ID, all data previously written to that ID is erased. For example:
EXPORT SY-SUBRC TO MEMORY ID u2018LJS1u2019.
Hope u understand
Thanks

"backspace", "g" and "h" keys are not working.

suddenly the "backspace" , "g" and " h " keys are not working.

Hi,
While this could be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click the entry 'Standard PS/2 Keyboard' and select Uninstall.
Shutdown the notebook.
Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f9 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f5, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.

Caps lock, delete and tab key are not working on my Apple wireless keyboard

I see that a lot of users have had this same issue. I have tried all the "tricks" suggested, but keys are still not functioning.

Try a smc reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Try a pram reset: power off, power back on holding the keys: option, command, P ,R (no commas) press them before the start chime, and hold them till you hear the start chime 32 times, then release and reboot.
If still no joy try a safe boot, power off, power back on holding the shift key. Continue to hold the shift key till you see the progress bar, let it finish booting, and see if t works.
The code thing is wierd.
If none of these help your issue, bring it to an APPLE store or a AASP and have it checked out it have a bad top, or logic board/HD.

PRD and KDM keys are hitting

Dear All,
After doing MIGO a/c entries are correct for import purchase order.
but KDM and PRD keys are getting hitted and some amount is getting debited to G/L which is assigned to KDM key in OBYC and same amount is getting credited in G/L which is assigned to PRD key in OBYC. Thus effect is zero but i am not able to understand why these keys are hitting as there is no price difference.
please let me know the reason if someone went thru same thing.
Naren.

Dear NArendra
1. Transaction event key KDM will be trigerred when we post invoice first and later on there will be a exchange rate difference occured by the time Goods receipt takes place and also if the material having Standard price control.
Exchange rate differences in the case of open items (KDM)
Exchange rate differences in the case of open items arise when an invoice relating to a purchase order is posted with a different exchange rate to that of the goods receipt and the material cannot be debited or credited due to standard price control or stock undercoverage/shortage.
2. Transaction event PRD will trigger on different reasons. Material maintained with price control Standard price and the Price in PO is different . Ple3ase refer SAP std documentation on PRD.
Price differences (PRD)
Price differences arise for materials valuated at standard price in the case of all movements and invoices with a value that differs from the standard price. Examples: goods receipts against purchase orders (if the PO price differs from the standard pricedardpreis), goods issues in respect of which an external amount is entered, invoices (if the invoice price differs from the PO price and the standard price).
Price differences can also arise in the case of materials with moving average price if there is not enough stock to cover the invoiced quantity. In the case of goods movements in the negative range, the moving average price is not changed. Instead, any price differences arising are posted to a price difference account.
Depending on the settings for the posting rules for transaction/event key PRD, it is possible to work with or without account modification. If you use account modification, the following modifications are available in the standard system:
a. None for goods and invoice receipts against purchase orders
b. PRF for goods receipts against production orders and
c. order settlement
d. PRA for goods issues and other movements
e. PRU for transfer postings (price differences in the case of external amounts)

Satellite C50-A-15Q - arrow, question mark key and z key are not working

I have a Satellite Pro, C50-A-15Q. All keys were working fine yesterday, today I turn the laptop on and the arrow keys, question mark key and z key are all not responding. Any idea how I can fix this?
I have tried turning the laptop off and on, hoping (naively) that this would fix, but to no avail.

As Tom already wrote, it is not easy to say for sure if this malfunction is result of defective keyboard or maybe keyboard controller. In my opinion troublemaker is the keyboard itself.
Have you maybe updated BIOS or done anything that could be responsible for this?
I presume your notebook is pretty new model with valid warranty so best option for you is to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

It looks like a spill has caused two keys on my macbook pro to stop working. They are the eject and delete key. What I need help with is removal of the keyboard and cleaning. I know the keys can be popped off and I dont mind getting my hands dirty and taking apart the whole keyboard.
