Why wont the ampisand symbol work in web pages on a UK keyboard?

I am using a UK keyboard which is correctly installed in Win XP. When I try to use the ampersand symbol in web mail pages using Firefox 4 beta 4, I get ( " )instead of the ampersand symbol? I do not have the same problem using IE8 or Firefox 3.6. *I have also ensured I have enable the generic English tab in Firefox 4 settings to no avail!*

Don't you mean the '@' key ?<br />
On a UK keyboard the @ and " are swapped, so that would make sense.<br />
The ampersand (&) shouldn't be affected.<br />

    Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

    Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

    Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

    I believe that Nik is having trouble adhering to Apple's "identified developer" requirements.
    there is a FAQ on Nik site regarding problems with their installers.
    a guess.

  • Why wont my .vst plugins work in cs6 on win 7 pro 64 bit

    why wont my .vst plugins work on my new os ,win 7 pro 64 bit, i have cs6 and cc installed, they worked fine when it was on xp pro.. even if it finds them and you can bring them up it crashes cs6, any advice is helpful, thanks!!

    But i really want them to work in cs6, i heard you have to use j bridge to use .vst's in cc, is this true..
    Yes.
    I just dont understand why they wont work in win 7 pro 64 bit , is it an os problem or is it a cs6 problem, when i had cs6 in win xp pro, was it installed as a 32 bit program, if thats the case can i load a 32 bit version of cs6>>>??? thanks!!
    It's not the OS - W764Pro can run 32-bit software fine in emulation. Your problem is that there is no 32-bit version of CC. It was widely circulated before release that this was going to be 64-bit only, and that you would need bridging software to run old 32-bit VST plugins.
    Apparently, jbridge works fine once you've got it installed and everything in the correct place. I wouldn't know though, because I don't use it - I only use a small number of 64-bit plugins directly. On those few occasions that I want to use a 32-bit plugin, I run it in CS6 Audition (which isn't the CC version, but is 32-bit). So yes, if you have the 32-bit program you can run them in that. Both versions of the software will co-exist quite happily on the same machine, and won't interact at all - except that you have to be careful with your sound device settings.

  • Why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

    why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

    Hi
    And You are doing it right
    • draging a clip ontop of other clip in Project - or -
    • ctrl-click on clip in Project
    If it's not that - then my wild Guess is that the iMovie Pref file got corrupted.
    • TEST - Easy by creating a new User Account / Log into this / re-try iMovie - if it now works then I would trash the pref. file

  • Why wont the edit icon open so i can edit photos?

    Why wont the edit icon open so i can edit photos?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what happens when you click on the Edit button at the bottom of the iPhoto window?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    A universal fix for some issues is the following:
    1 - reboot.
    2 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    3 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    4 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

    Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
    And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
    I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos.  You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
    It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image.  I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide).  So
    Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
    Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
    Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
    Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
    It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken.  No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
    You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
    Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

  • HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

    I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

    When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album.  However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos.  If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
    If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
    Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

    why is the video not working with skype on this os

    Try this:
    Quit Skype.
    Click on the desktop so Finder is active. Hold the option key down and click on Go in the menu bar.
    In the drop down, select Library.
    Open the Library folder and scroll down to Preferences.
    In that folder, there is a file called com.skype.skype.plist. Trash that file.
    Now try Skype.
