When I hit shift 3 instead of the number sign I get a backslash it is only in Firefox all other programs my keyboard is fine
All other programs are fine, keyboard settings on my computer are fine.
Do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application

internet explorer word etc there isnt a problem
Solved!
I had the same problem, which only occurs in Firefox but not in any other program, even another Mozilla browser like SeaMonkey.
In the Windows XP Control Panel mentioned above (Regional and Language Options > Languages > Text services and input languages > Details...) I have:
* '''two''' keyboard layouts listed under ''Installed Services'', English UK and English US - in that order. The default is set to English UK
* under '''Advanced''' tab, ''System Configuration'', I have ''Turn off advanced text services'' '''selected'''.
I removed the English US keyboard layout which fixes this problem for me. -
When a message comes in from a site such as Amazon or Shutterfly the site itself does not open when the email is opened. I need to click on a long web string to open the message. It all used to appear when the email was opened. How can I make that happen again? It seems an unnecessary step otherwise.
I don't appear to have a toolbar either.

I have just bought a MacBook Air in Madrid, but the keyboard types, for example, ¿ when I hit shift and the semi-colon key, and = when I hit the ! key. What do I have to do to reset it to function normally?
Go>Preferences>Language & Text>Input Sources
Click off the flags of the countries you want--like if you need a British keyboard that has a British pound symbol, pick that one.
When you're done picking, them leave preferences. Now, in the upper right-hand corner of your computer, next to the date, you'll see a little flag. Click on that. You'll see all the flags you picked. Choose the one you want. Your keyboard will now give you the symbols, letters, etc. that you would get if you'd bought the computer in that country. -
When I close Firefox and then come back to it later a box comes up that says it's already running. It says to close Firefox first but when I hit close nothing happens and the box comes up again. I have to shut down my computer and restart to get into Firefox again. If I can't get this fixed I will start using someone else. Someone told me a way to close Firefox but I forgot what they said.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a couple of months agoHello Brian.
You don't need to restart your computer to open Firefox again: you just need to close it manually through your application manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC in Processes tab). Anyway, hopefully this support article is what you need:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs
What's probably happening is that you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author. -
HT2729 When I hit camera then try 'Video' the program won't start just photos. What's wrong?
When I hit camera then try 'Video' the program won't start just photos. What's wrong?
Sounds to me like you are trying to tap on the word VIDEO.
To change to video you don't tap on the word VIDEO. Instead, you drag the centre of the screen down. That will change the option from PHOTO to VIDEO.
Of course, to go back to PHOTO or to SQUARE you drag the centre of the screen up. -
I have Adobe Photoshop Album 1.0 & suddenly cannot send photos thru e-mail. It looks like it's working ok; but when I hit Send nothing happens and the program stops responding. Any suggestions?
I have starter 3.0 and cannot share pictures via outlook express. Evidently that version is discontinued and my outlook express does not support the MAPI that is required. I think the only solution is to upgrade to photoshop
elements or to send photos as attachment to your e-mail. I have the same problem using Zoom Browser EX sending photos via internet. I spent a whole day trying to resove this issue and have exhausted all options. Just like "Instant share" in HP image Zone that was replace by photoshop album starter 3.0 and now it is out dated. -
I have a hp p6112p that was stuck by lightning. I had to replace the motherboard to get the power supply to turn on. The computer then goes to the Bios start up screen and when you hit F10 it say entering the configuration but never does just stay on the same screen. I replaced the CPU. Same problem. I had my hard drives tested and both are ok. I was told by the company that I purchased the MB from that my memory most likely wasnt compadible. I have tried super talent, g.skill, & acer and no memory worked. I called the company I got the MB again and he said it isnt a defective MB because I and getting to the start up of the Bios screen. He still says its the memory and that Its not like I am a computer store were I have 20 different brands I can try until I find one thats compadible. Can somebody PLEASE HELP ME???? I really am at witts end! Thanks

Hello reblthepit, HP systems are a bit picky about what memory will work in a HP system.
You might want to go to Crucial.com and run their memory configurator and let Crucial advise the memory that is certified compatible with your system. This takes the guessing out of trying to purchase memory that is supported for your system.
Just because the motherboard will boot the start of the bIOS does not neccessarily tell you a lot. If you had some memory issues, and no memory was recognized by the BIOS, you would be getting some beep error codes.
If the motherboard was not a genuine HP Provided motherboard, it will not work with the HP provided operating system. You would need to purchase a new operating system.
You also could not just replace the motherboard and try to start the system without a new installation of the operating system. There would just be too many driver conflicts.
Just some thoughts.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.

Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?
If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs. -

My personal ringtones are on my iPhone 5, they are attached to the correct phone numbers and play correctly when I test them on each contact. But when I receive a call instead of the proper ringtone, it plays the generic. What Am I not doing right?
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.
I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

when i send a text in iMessage the person receiving it gets it from my email address... how do i change that. and in message settings the receiving thing has my email and phone number but my phone number is gray and i can't click on it help
Hello Todd:
I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
I hope that this works for you, Todd! ~ Brian -
Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.
