Using an AZERTY keyboard with Windows 7 via parallels

Hi, really hope you can help, its very frustrating! I've got a macbook (10.6) with a french azerty keyboard. Its all fine using applications directly on the mac but when i use windows 7 via parallels, I don't get the correct symbols eg the button to the left of the 1 key is @ (or a # when shift is pressed as well)
I've tried changing the language to all the different french options eg canadian, moroccan etc but none of them have the correct layout
thanks in advance for any replies/advice

You probably need to change the keyboard layout in Windows
From his reference to French Moroccan I suspect he has already tried that. The problem may be that no Windows layout exactly matches the Mac layout, as is the case with several languages. But maybe there is a work-around short of someone having to create a Windows custom keyboard layout.

  • Can i use activesync on mbp with windows xp & parallel

    OK, new Mac user needs help at v basic level, I want to sync a windows smartphone (htc3300) with outlook installed on windows xp, which runs via parallel on a mabook pro with tiger OS. At the moment the acivesync can't find the smartphone, am i expecting too much of xp on a mac or do I need to tell the mac to allow traffic that it doesn't normally see. It's connected via a usb & all the usbs are working normally.
    I've previously synced with a vista pc with no probs

    Parallels does support ActiveSync for Windows Mobile devices, but since Parallels is not an Apple product you should post your question on the Parallels discussion boards:

  • Using Apple keyboard with Windows (bootcamp)

    Does anyone have a cheat sheet for using a wired Apple keyboard with Windows 7 (the bootcamp setup)? I like to use keyboard shortcuts, both in OS X and in Windows. When I switch to my Windows partition, I haven't figured out the key combinations to use on the Apple keyboard.

  • HT4112 how to use apple keyboard with window 7

    I know a lot of people have asked this question, but I could not find a anwser that works. I am using an apple keyboard with my windows 7 laptop. I could not change the delete key to delete, apple keyboard delete button is backspace, not delete. Of cause, I have to use the on screen keyboard to log in each time becaue there is no delete button on apple's keyboard. Can some one provide a simply method to convert my apple keyboard to windows keyboard? Thanks and I appreciate your help.

    Are you using a wireless Apple kbd or USB keyboard?

  • How can I obtain a complete Time Machine backup (about 300 GB), with Windows 7-Parallels Desktop, without the system re-booting automatically?

    I have been operating my MacBook Pro 15" (Mac OS 10.7.5), with Windows 7 - Parallels Desktop, for about one and one-half years.  However, whenever I execute a Time Machine back-up, and leave the system to complete the process, I return only to find that my system has re-booted, long before the back-up is completed.  I do not use the auto-backup feature because I do not see how to change the shedule for backups away from the default schedule of hourly backups (too my stain on performance).  Is there something that I am missing in setting up for such a back-up?  I am currently operating away from home, using wi-fi for Internet access.
    Appreciatively, Arbyem

  • Using MS Access 2010 on Windows via Bootcamp

    Using MS Access 2010 on Windows via Bootcamp
    I am wanting to do an online course which uses MS Access 2010. I am using an Apple Mac and thought I could use Bootcamp to set up a Windows partition to use the software.
    My query is once I have created a database with MS Access 2010 in Windows on my mac, is the database essentially useless for my future mac work?
    Hope someone can help

    I do think converting will end up being complicating. Do you know what Office for Mac is like, is it similar to MS Access? If so, I could do the course using MS Access and then buy Office for Mac and teach myself how to create databases using office.
    As I mentioned there is no Access for Mac.  Microsoft never made one. Office for Mac includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint (and Outlook for the Business edition.)  And even these are missing some features of their Windows versions.  (e.g.: Excel macros often don't work on the Mac version of Excel.)
    You can bring over your general knowlege of database programming (e.g.: relationships, joins, normalizing,) to any database product such as MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle Database, Filemaker, Alpha5, OpenOffice, etc.  But none of those other database products will open a database file made in Access.  (Or rather, may have very limited ability to open very simple databases, but you'll probably lose the relationship links.)  So your Access training won't be a total loss, but you'll need to learn the specifics of whatever database product you eventually use.

  • Has anyone figured a way to use the Magic Trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

    Has anyone figured a way to use the magic trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

    Yes. After Windows/Bootcamp discovers  your bluetooth device (Magic Trackpad or Mouse, be sure to make it discoverable), right click, with your wired mouse, of course, on the icon and select Properties.
    Then check the mouse drivers box and your device should work. (I located this solution on another thread)
    It works for both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.
    Must admit, the solution was not intuitive within the Windows environment. But we all must remember. It IS Windows, after all.
    Another thing. Keep in mind that the gestures on these devices that work just dandy in OSX do not carry over into Windows.
    It's Windows.

  • HT4623 I have an apple ID account with $25.00, I purchased an kids game app {plants vs zombies},  the app shows up as purchased and downloaded but I can't get it to start. I'm using an Hp laptop with Windows 8.

    I hav an apple ID account with balance of $25,00. I used .99 to buy gameapp for grandson. We also downloaded a freebie or two. The games show up under the apps purchased.  However I can not get the games to start using my HP laptop with windows 8.  Any suggestions on how to play games purchase thru the Apple App Store but played on android deices.? Tkx

    You can only use apps from iTunes on iPhone devices.
    If you want apps for Android devices then you'll need to download the app on the Google Play Store on your Android devices.
    If you don't have the Google Play Store you could dowload if from Google.
    Windows 8 also has there own App Store.

  • Is it possible to build a project with Labview 2010 on a Windows XP system, that is useful for a system with windows 7 on it?

    Hi there,
    I am planning to use Labview 2010 in a short time.
    But before I'm going to use it I have some questions.
    I know it is possible to run Labview 2010 in an XP environment. But is it also possible to, when running Labview 2010 on a XP system, to build a project to a version that is useful in a Windows 7 environment?
    Or do I have to run Labview 2010, when I want to build a project that is useful on a Windows 7 system, on a system with Windows 7?
    Please give me some information.
    I hope to hear from one of you soon.
    Regards,

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.
