Upper left-hand key (to left of "1") types incorrect characters.

OK, so I reinstalled OSX Leopard today in order to fix a problem with my keyboard being detected incorrectly. Now it is detected properly.
However, I'm still having a problem with the key to the upper left of the keyboard (directly below space). It should be producing the characters of a "backwards apostrophe" and a tilde. Instead, it's producing a "§" and a "±" symbol.
Yes, I've checked in the international panel and made sure the language is correct. The language is US English. The keyboard map (when I bring up the keyboard viewer) is correct. All of the other keys are correct. This is the only one that isn't.
Does any one have any ideas? Any help would be super appreciated! Thanks!!

You know what, I think that you're right about it being detected as ISO. I never noticed the extra key to the left of the 'z' on the keyboard layout before. (This key is NOT on my keyboard.. only on the keyboard layout).
Everything in the international panel is set properly. I just think that the keyboard is being detected wrong.
Now, the question is: Is this a hardware issue or a software issue? This is happening on a fresh install of OSX so I am tending to lean more towards a hardware issue. Perhaps the internals of an ISO keyboard got into this keyboard by mistake? Any way that I could tell?
This is what the system profiler says about my keyboard:
Apple Keyboard:
Version: 0.69
Bus Power (mA): 100
Speed: Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Apple, Inc
Product ID: 0x0221
Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Computer, Inc.)
Thanks again for all of your help so far!

Left handed brush cursor

Aside from having sharper lines which I already discussed, I would also like to see a brush cursor that comes in from the left hand side for left handers. Also, it would be cool if straight lines made the finished line on completion of the line. Just a question, what is the the feasability of getting any of these things done? Thanks Ron Power online cartoonist ronpower.com

I understand. I'm left handed too. When I use a Windows machine I change my cursor too. For some reason though, I don't have a problem with using it the way it is on the Mac. Of course, I've been using Mac's MUCH longer than PC's.
Hang in there. I think you'll get used to it.
Peace,

I seem to have lost the red, yellow and green dots that are in the upper left hand corner that close or minimize the page.

I seem to have lost the red, green, and yellow dots that are in the upper left hand corner that close or minimize the page. How can I get them back?

You may have to try a general OS X troubleshooting process to see if the issue goes away by doing this...
Have you tried: starting the computer in SafeBoot mode, with shift key held down; a login screen should appear after a time, and then the regular desktop. At this point, locate Disk Utility in utilities folder, and run 'repair disk permissions' on the startup volume, usually the name given the hard disk drive as it appears on desktop. After Disk Utility is finished the permissions repair, restart the computer normally.
...The iTunes player has free support only through the duration of the hardware product's complementary or AppleCare extended plan coverages, so though you can download a newer version, that is not the same as free support for an issue. However, the iTunes Store or App Store has a different factor for their product.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
There is an iTunes area in Apple Support Community discussions for more topics like this; except for when they involve a hardware product where an OS X is involved. If your computer is NOT a powerPC (an 'intel'-mac) the topic would more naturally need to be posted where that hardware and later supported OS X version topics get seen. So that is why one asks 'on what Mac running what version...' instead of writing four paragraphs in a wide angle reply. The details about your iMac and the OS X say more; without them, more questions arise.
Good luck & happy computing!

IBook G4 black screen at startup with code in upper left hand corner

I have had operating system issues for the past year, and recently had my OS reinstalled at a Mac Professional retailer. After two weeks of perfect performance, the chime stopped working on startup. This was the only problem for several days. Then when I would put it to sleep, the computer would not automatically turn back on, I had to manually reboot it. Finally, today, after the computer would not wake up and I had restarted it, the screen would flash to the apple logo screen WITHOUT the spinning wheel and after several seconds would shift to an all black screen with text in the upper right hand corner, waiting for a command entry.
The code reads as follows:
hfsswapBTNode: invalid node kind (-9)
node=22016 fileID=4 volume=Macintosh HD device=root_device
-sh-2.05b#
Any ideas?????

Put the install disc in the drive and start while holding the "c" key. Once satrted click through past the language screen and select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Highlight the drive on the left and click the Repair button. If it reports errors and repairs repeat the process until no errors are reported. If it reports errors it can't repair post the error message here.

Mouse stuck in upper left hand corner...

Not sure if this is where I should be posting this, but I couldn't find a more appropriate heading. I have a couple year old iMac running OS X 10.2.8. Just yesterday I was surfing the web and all of a sudden my mouse pointer got stuck in the upper left hand corner of the screen, and I haven't been able to move it since. I have tried new known good mice and a new keyboard...neither had any effect. I also tried clearing the PRAM and running disk utilities from my install disk. The pointer is still stuck and I'm not sure what else to try?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance

pegasusroscoe,
Are you able to open the Trash, and view it's contents?
If so, are the items individual files, or are there system folders there?
I don't know if it will do any good, but are you able to run Repair Disk?
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, on the Menubar at the top of the screen, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number. Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.
8.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
9.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
10.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
11.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

I lost that orange rectangular Firefox button that used to be in the upper left hand corner of my screen? How do I get it back?

What else can I say? I used to have an orange rectangular box or button with Firefox on it, in the upper left hand corner of my screen. When I clicked on it a drop down pad appeared. IT'S GONE!

Right click menu bar, untick "menu bar" in the options that you see.

How do I move Start from the upper right-hand corner of the screen to bottom left of screen?

For some reason, I accidentally hit a button which moved my Microsoft Start button to the upper right hand corner of the screen. I would prefer the Start button to be in the lower left-hand corner of the screen. Please advise.
Thank you.

Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue. The Start button is a part of the WinXP operating system. <br />

How to put a text in upper left hand corner for all the application?

I want to put a text in upper left hand corner for all the pages on application?
I don't want to put one page by another.
Thank you.

If you put it in a region on page zero, it will be inherited by all pages of the application.. Literally in the upper left corner? Even the login page? You could also modify the template page that your using from your theme, so that all pages would have this attribute, whichever you are more comfortable with..
Thank you,

Hi, Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am used to using ACR in CS6 with it's preview checkbox in the upper right-hand corner. I do not see that checkbox in PS CC. I see that they have added side-by-side, right and left and top and bottom before and after

Hi,
Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am very comfortable using ACR in previous versions. I liked to use the preview checkbox located in the upper right-hand corner to see before and afters. That checkbox is no longer in my version of PS CC. I see that they have side-by-side, top and bottom and right and left before and after options in the lower right-hand corner in this version. Is there anyway to get that legacy preview checkbox back so that I can use it?

Hi Warunicorn,
Thank you very much. I just could not find it on my own. I will have more questions as I get into it.

Why is it that I downloaded Firefox 4.0 but I do not have the orange firefox box in the upper left hand corner of screen. My screen still looks like the old verison of firefox. My screen does not look like the one in the video. looks nothing like the one

My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank you

You're welcome

No printing :I can't print anymore, printing the same file with another program is ok, printing form LR (in the same system and printer of course :-) ): Preparing and Printing indicatorbar in the left hand upper corner are running and completing, but no output at all to my printer. I have been printing before. Next I upgraded to LR5.7.1 but the problem stays. Perhaps some adjustment is changed by me unintentionally, but I have no idea. Does anybody know what to check? Printing to file is also strange,the canvas only seems to accept A4, and crops any image relative to that size, so a 10x15 cm print on 10 x 15 cm paper is cropped to 10x15/2. Anybody any idea? (system win 8.1 64, printer HP B8550)

I accidentally solved my mystery. For some reason it was set to "print to file". I changed it to "printer" and now I am able to print.

I have a website that I want to save my login details but there is no "key" in the top left-hand corner. How do I get around this? I am using version 35.

This particular website previously had a "wrong" password. No matter how many times I changed the password, the website failed to issue a "Changed password" update. So I removed it altogether. Now the website doesn't appear in any of the Options screens and there is no "key" in the left hand corner so I am unable to save either login or password. I am using the latest version of Firefox ... ver. 35.0.1

Did you check the exceptions?

Why can't I open pdf file? Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't

Why can't I open pdf file? Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't open either

I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....
Please.. someone... help!!!

I can't open a document just has an x in upper left hand corner

I can not open a received document. All I get is a blank page with a small x in the upper left hand corner of the page. When I click on the x I get a blank blue page. Can you help me with this problem.

The symptom you describe sounds like you are using IE10 or IE11 on 64-bit Windows 7 or 8. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529
