Typing hash on Mac keyboard

How do you type hash on the mac keyboard as it doesn't appear as a key. I've heard its 'shift 3' but as I live in the UK thats a pound sign, so what key combination do i use?
Thanks
Matthew

On a UK keyboard the '#' is alt-3.

My iMac keeps typing a minus sign. I switched my wireless keyboard for a plug in Windows keyboard, and it keeps typing this one character. I took the batteries out of the Mac keyboard, so that is not the problem. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks for your observation. I realize they are different versions, but when I use the "Software Update" menu, this is as far as it would update. Is there some way to update the iMac beyond what "Software Update" does? I've tried it several times.
Please Note.
Upgrading OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) is not an update. It is a paid upgrade. Just as with 10.7 (Lion) you must purchase it from the App Store with yor Apple ID and install it after backing up your current computer state for safety.

MAC Keyboard - Works on a PC but not my MAC

Yup... makes no sense huh?
I bought a used MAC G4 Quicksilver, came with mouse and keyboard. I plug the keyboard in and all works fine, except the "END" key and the "NumLock" key... maybe a few other but haven't noticed yet, just these two so far. Numeric pad displays numbers when typed, letters are fine...
I plus the MAC keyboard into my PC and works fine, can toggle the NumLock light on/off and the END key brings my cursor to the end of sentences I am typing.
My PC keyboard is PS/2 so, can't see how it works on the MAC.
I have since formatted the system and reinstalled MAC OS 10.4.4 and applied the 10.4.6 update and still the same issue.
Main problem I have now is I bought a TrippLite USB KVM switch so that I can alternate between systems and of all the luck, the hotkey to switch systems back/forth is to hit the NumLock key twice fast. I can switch to the MAC then I can't switch back because the NumLock key doesn't work in MAC.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm new to MAC but find it ironic that the MAC keyboard detects and works fine on a PC and not on a MAC.
Thanks

Anyone at all? Any settings or anything to be set? Nothing?

When typing in Mail my keyboard input is delayed.

I have a Mac keyboard that is USB connected to my iMac. I have been having problems only when I am typing in Mail. My keystrokes are delayed when I'm typing and do not appear in the message for 3-5 seconds. This does not happen when I'm typing in other area, e.g. Facebook, Word, etc. I have increased the settings in the Keyboard area of Settings to no avail. Any suggestions out there??

iMac SMC and PRAM reset

By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

rajlego,
in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

Mac Keyboard Functions Don't Work

I have just discovered that the Mac keyboard has a very useful feature: press and hold a key and all the options for that character show in a little pop-up window, i.e., accents, tilde's, etc. This works in all my other programs (Word, Excel, Pages, Mail, etc.), but not in Adobe's Illustrator or InDesign. I do a project every summer that has lots of foreign names and words, and I am constantly having to ferret out these unusual characters, so having them all available right on the keyboard would be a huge time saver for me, so I was devastated to learn that Adobe's programs don't support them (when I press and hold a keyboard key in InDesign, it just repeats the character over and over as long as I hold the key down, which is the way the keyboard worked several Apple systems ago). Is there a preference or something somewhere that I am missing?

While InDesign and Illustrator don't have access to the Apple feature to show special characters, you have an even better feature in InDesign and Illustrator—the Glyphs panel. It lets you view every character (glyph) in every font on your computer. You can insert a character by double clicking it. In InDesign, choose Type > Glyphs to open it up. Use the font menu at the bottom to switch fonts. Choose from the Show menu in the middle some collections of special characters for different purposes.

Using a Mac Keyboard on a PC?

Does anyone know if its possible to use a mac keyboard on a PC? If so, are there drivers that Windows will require in order for it to function properly, or will Windows treat it like any other keyboard?
Before you even ask why I would do this...I really like the new Apple keyboard and would like to buy one for work to use as my main keyboard there as well.
thanks

Hey, I run an Apple keyboard on a Windows machine all the time.. I assumed you are talking about a newer keyboard as I don't have much experience beyond 3 years ago keyboards.. It works fine.. Of course some of the Apple specific keys such as Command don't have a special meaning in the Windows environment but the keyboard has Alt and Control which are commonly used..
No drivers necessary.. Just works...

My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation.
Installation went well but when I boot either with OSx or Win it always keeps Windows keyboard.
How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Read performance of a generically typed hashed table

Hi,
I'm curious to know the how the read performance of a hashed table will be affected in the following scenario. I have a class with many static attributes of hashed table type. All these hashed tables have one thing in common. They have a field "GUID" as unique key. The processing logic is same for all tables and hence I made the code generic. For example, I have an importing parameter with which I can "derive" the name of my class attribute.
field-symbols: <fs_table> type hashed table,
<fs_line> type any.
lv_class_attr = derive_name( iv_object_name ).
assign (lv_class_Attr) to <fs_table>.
read table <fs_table> with table key ('GUID') assigning <fs_line>.
Will this code block give me the same performance that I would get if I use specifically typed hash tables? The code inspector gives me a low performance warning. But what will actually happen at runtime?
Regards,
Arun Prakash

Hi,
It is very simple. You defined table without unique key that why?.
Whenever we define the typed hased table it require the unique key required. In your case it is dynamic hased table. It's don't have any unique key, While build internal hased table it require unique key defination. by in case of non-type table don't know the unique key fields.
While reading data it will work like the standard table due to non unique key defination and It used the sequention read.

Ctrl-alt-end on mac keyboard

Our system at work uses WIndows XP and I can now use Remote Office to get on the system from home. Previously, I had to run Parallels Desktop for windows. Now, I can run it from Safari, except to begin the login process, I must hit the combination of keys "Ctrl-Alt-END" I have looked at discussions and they say end is accessed using the command key and the left or right arrow. No luck with that.
Do I hit the control key, alt key, command key and right arrow at once? I tried that and it didn't work. Parallels for Windows has a virtual Windows keyboard, but there doesn't seem to be the same WIndows keyboard on Mac OS. Help!!

the options key on the mac keyboard should map to the windows alt key, so the key command should be control-options-end.
You should be able to enable "Remote Access" on the windows XP machine (get properties on My Computer and enable it in the "Remote" tab). Then download Microsoft's "Remote Desktop Connection" software and connect to your work PC by entering it's IP address.
