Why the Key $/€ is giving $ by default on french keyboard?

In France, the currency is the euro, but the french Apple's keyboard is giving a $ symbol by default and € symbol with ALT hotkey.
It should be the opposite, no?

There is no other key problem, it seems to be an ergonomy default.
Yes, it seems that that is just the way the application was written!
I frequently switch from English to Danish, and I just checked: same thing!

  • Modifier Keys Not Restoring to Default

    I changed my modifier key mapping so that I could use a Windows keyboard with my MacBook Pro (late 2008). I set the Control key to function as the Command key and vice versa. Now it won't change back.
    I've changed the key selections. Restored Defaults under Keyboard & Mouse. I've performed a Disk Utility. I've confirmed nothing is selected under Speech.
    At a loss and kind of miffed. Makes using my laptop quite inconvenient when not at my desk.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    OK, I've solved the problem. Here's how you fix it:
    1. Plug in the external keyboard and set the modifier keys to work correctly with the external keyboard.
    2. Change the modifier keys back to default settings. Try the laptop keyboard to insure the modifier keys work correctly.
    3. Go back to the modifier keys section and in the "Select keyboard:" drop down pick the external keyboard.
    4. Change the modifier keys to work with the external keyboard.
    5. Test both keyboards, they should now work.
    You might not have to do all these steps, but that's what I did and it worked. Good luck.

  • Dimensions: Key and Description by default

    Hi All,
    is there any chance to have Kex and Description of selected dimensions by default ... even in new reports?
    After changing this in the Query Designer for selected InfoObjects this isn't recognized by SPM. Every Dimension has Only Description by default.
    Thanks
    Pascal

    Hi Pascal,
    I don't think there is any setting to display the Key and Description by default on new report creation.
    But, when a report is created and saved setting to display the Key and Description, it will do so when the report is opened later.
    Note: such changes to display in the back-end or query will not affect the display in SPM frontend.

  • How to set a default value in my DropDown using the key  ?

    Hello All,
      Can someone advose how I can achieve the above ? I will like to know how to select a default value for the dropdown by key using the key value instead of description.
      The reason why I need to do so instead o fusing description is because my application will populate the dropdown using web services based on the language selection. Hence, if I were to set the default value using description, den other languages will not work anymore.
      Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you !!

    Kwok,
    Assuming that:
    1. You have a node NodeX, where attribute TargetAttr defined
    2. You have a DropDownByKey UI control, its property selectedKey bound to NodeX.TargetAttr attribute
    Then:
    Place in your code:
    wdContext.currentNodeXElement().setTargetAttr("yourKey");
    VS
    P.S. This topic was raised several times, and forum search works good enough to find an answer

  • Why is photo booth giving a message saying no camera attached when it has a web cam? it did work okay when I bought the computer six months ago?

    Why is "photo booth" giving a message saying "no camera attached" when it has a web cam? it did work okay when I bought the computer six months ago?  

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why the default value is not the Oracle recommended?

    Why the default value is not the Oracle recommended?
    In Oracle 10g, the default alocated unit of Oracle ASM is 1MB. But the Oracle ducumentation states that "To ensure a higher probability of one
    logical I/O resulting in no more than one physical I/O, the minimum stripe depth should be at least twice the Oracle block size". ---See Performance Tuniing Guide (10g10.2 Page8-3.
    It's inconsistent. What is right way?

    8 * 128 = 1024
    128 >= 2
    At least twice the size does not mean exactly the doubled size.
    There is no contradiction between the documentation and your observation in this case.

  • In my events the key photos no longer show up and the picture amount reads 0, but the pictures are still there when I click on that event. Why does the amount read 0?

    In some of my events in iphoto no pictures show up in the key photos. In others they do. I just upoaded some and no problem. I noticed that in the lower right corner of each event with no key photo the photo amount reads zero. I click on that event and all of the photos do show up. Does anyone know why this is  happening, or have come across this before? Thanks, Daryl

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

  • Why can't I sign in to vtok, I cannot access the key pad on my iPad when I try to sign in to vtok. I was able to do it yesterday.

    I am unable to log in on vtok this morning. I was able to do so till yesterday. The key pad does not pop up to type my user I'd and password.

    Update: Managed to fix this by going into Settings > Safari, then under Privacy & Security i changed 'Block Cookies' from 'Always' to 'From Third parties and advertisers'
    Not sure how the setting was changed from its default but yeah.
    After this I was able to sign straight in with no problems!

  • In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo.  At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

    In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

    Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Of if easier for you, take receipt and iPhone, box and everything and return to where you bought it.

  • When I use my Delete key to delete a song, I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" button, and so i need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
    tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.

  • MacBook stuck with shift key enabled and numbers not working - even the keyboard app in languages wont type lowercase nor numbers?!  Anyone know whats up?  no spillage...cant understand why the keyboard app wont do anything.

    Anyone have a clue?  I can understand the keyboard being broke / shift key being stuck but why in the world would I not be able to type the numbers on the language keyboard app on the operating system?  Numbers show up on the app but when I press them I still get the special characters like #^&#* and it wont type lower case. Nothing has ever been spilt, just stopped working one day.  Rebooted from Time Capsule restore dated a month ago and its still doing it. (problem started two weeks ago).  Only way to get lower case or numbers to actually show up is the copy and paste.
    Any help would be amazing!
    Details on computer:  13 inch MacBook6, 1  (Late 2009) / Intel Core 2 DUO /  2.26GHZ / 2GB /  Memory running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

    If you can afford it, I would recommend replacing the topcase and keyboard as Apple suggests. If like me, you can't afford it or are open to a hack fix, then read on.
    The problem
    Yesterday, a little water spilt on my 13" MBP keyboard. I turned it around immediately, drained out the water and used tissue to suck it all up but the keyboard was still acting funny. I turned it off and left it out in the sun for a couple of hours and turned it on again but problems remained. Like Rickdubya, my warranty had run out just a month ago and I knew Apple would not cover this under warranty. I tried to clean the shift keys and left it overnight with some rice on them with hopes that the moisture might get sucked out. Nothing worked. (The rice bit is an urban legend that seems to work with some electronics). Went to the Apple Store this morning and was told that they wouldn't even take out the key and clean it, and that the entire top case would have to be replaced. A total bill of 156 Euros which I cannot afford. I had a USB keyboard that would let me use the Mac for the moment so I decided to try to work out a fix.
    Symptoms
    - Boots in safe mode everytime (which I later found out was because the shift key is pressed)
    - Cannot login because password is in lower case or has numbers
    - Cannot boot in super user mode and try to disable keys or override password as some commands won't work in uppercase (I wouldn't recommend this anyway because its super user mode)
    - All text is in caps and numbers are symbols as though shift key is always pressed
    - Audio doesn't work
    - Keyboard viewer would not always show the shift key pressed. The key seemed to get pressed at random
    Fix
    1. Hold the Option button down on boot to bypass the Safe Mode ensure a normal boot
    2. At the login screen, plug in a USB keyboard and enter your password to login
    3. Change your password to one that uses all caps and no numbers
    4. Download and install KeyRemap4MacBook .
    5. Use a combination of the functionalities of the Keyboard Viewer and KeyRemap4MacBook to figure out which shift key is the problem. In my case, I found out that it was only my left shift key.
    6. Disable the left/right shift key on KeyRemap4MacBook and click on the 'Reload XML' button to make that take effect.
    If only one shift key was the problem, then you are done. If both shift keys were shorted, then its likely other keys are too. In which case you should probably just replace the entire thing. If you think other keys are not affected, then you can use KeyRemap4MacBook itself to remap the shift functionality to a lesser used key like the Left Option key.
    7. Under System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items , add KeyRemap4MacBook as an application that should start on login. This will ensure that your disable/remap of the shift key is active everytime you login.
    Usage change/Things to remember
    1. Remember to hold down the Option key everytime the computer boots or reboots to bypass safe mode. The fix above is at the software level. The key is physically still shorted at the hardware level and will affect boot.
    2. Remember that at the login screen, the disable/remap is not active. So your password now has to be all caps and only letters.
    As soon as I can save some money, I will get my topcase and keyboard replaced but until then this solution works great with minimal change. Hope this helps!

  • Why is the GTX470/480 giving me the same performance as the old GTX 285?

    Hello
    Just love Adobe CS5 but still has some questions?
    Starting this thread because I would like to know why Fermi series is not fully utilized inside Adobe?
    For example, why is the GTX470/480 giving me the same performance as the old GTX 285?
    Is this problem at Adobe or Nvidia or both?
    Will this change in the future upcoming update from Adobe/Nvidia?
    Best regards
    Mikael

    Hello my Adobe friends, I love Adobe so don't get me wrong here:-)
    This is my system:
    Intel i7 920
    Asus P6T Deluxe V2 (X58 chipset)
    Corsair 12GB (1600MHz)
    Adaptec 3085 raid card with 4 x 1000GB Seagate in a raid 5
    Nvidia GTX470 with the latest driver
    AJA Kona LHi
    C disk Intel SSD G2 with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with latest driver
    Adobe CS5 with al the latest update inkl 5.0.2.
    Just read this from dvinfo Adobe and our friend Harm Millaard, so I can not be that wrong about it?
    "Currently MPE is still in it's infancy and CUDA Toolkit 3.1 has just appeared.
    What does that mean?
    First of all that at this moment in time there is no performance difference noticeable between a GTX-285 and a GTX-480, tested on the same system. This despite more than double the cores and double the width of the memory bus of the 480 over the 285.
    At this moment the conclusion may be that the 460 is the most attractively priced MPE card with the same performance as the 480.
    However, it is to be expected that when MPE get's more mature, it will use available cores more efficiently. Just like the threading on certain processes in CS5 that is far from optimal, causing much more latency in the communication between CPU - RAM - GPU - VRAM and back, especially on hexa cores.
    Threading is a major factor for performance gains, both in the CPU and in the GPU. Therefore I expect that in time the 470 or 480 will be a much better choice than the 460".
