Win 8.1 upgrade and now @ and " swapped

Hi, I've just upgraded to 8.1 and the @ and " keys are transposed i.e. when I hit one, I get the other. I haven't found any others.
Immediately after upgrading you have to enter a hotmail id. That was fun. I found that hitting the "Lang" (memory might be wrong?) key and selecting UK English sorted the problem but it has subsequently come back.
I have installed an English UK language pack, checked the keyboard language and fought to read things hidden by the blasted smart tips box and I've got nowhere. Help! Please.
Thanks,
John 

Having continued my research elsewhere... you may find the following helpful.
I tried adding UK English to the profile but that didn't fix the problem. It has been suggested that it is important to DELETE US English from the profile. I didn't try that. I'll give it a go when / if I next try the upgrade.

    I currently have a basic phone but I would like to switch to a smart phone. I don't have an upgrade right now and none of the other phones on the plan have an upgrade either (4 phones in total, 2 smart phones and 2 basic). Is it possible to get a phone from a 3rd party, instead of buying a phone from Verizon at full price, to switch with the basic phone?

  • My iPad air is disabled because I endeterd the wong keycode and now and will not enter recovery mode

    My iPad air is disabled because I endeterd the wong keycode too many times and now and will not enter recovery mode. I haven't a clue what to do next?

    Follow the steps in this Apple support page.
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    If you must use Recovery Mode, which is at the bottom of the linked page, follow all steps very carefully. Even hen you might have to try several times.

  • I have the Droid Razr M and now and then i will lose signal and go into Emergency Mode Only

    Now and then my phone will go lose signal in areas and go right into Emergency Mode Only for about a minute. Can anyone help me with that?

    This is a user-supported board. You are not addressing Apple here. Nor is it a good idea to post your private information to a public forum. You should edit your post immediately.
    Unfortunately no one here can access your support history. You must respond to the emails directly.

  • How do I UNINSTALL my CS4(Vista) from my WIN 8 NEW PC? It wont INSTALL, and NOW wants me to PAY TO UPGRADE to UNINSTALL.

    I purchased CS4 back when. And I never had any problems running it on my laptop (Vista). I finally used up all my 250gb hard drive and my husband just bought me a new WIN 8 desktop. I tried INSTALLING using my CD but WIN 8 wouldnt allow me to install. Adobe said I had to PAY TO UPGRADE so that I could finish INSTALLING. Well NOW since I am unable to do so, I tried going to the CONTROL PANEL and UNINSTALLING. But Adobe REFUSES to UNINSTALL since I do not have the UPGRADE version to allow to do so.
    SO NOW.............I am unable to INSTALL my iCloud program or any other program because my WIN 8 is "currently installing Adobe" and refuses to allow me install another program or Uninstall Adobe.
    HELP!!!

    Current is the Cloud... several monthly/annual plans... stop paying and it stops working

  • Recently upgrade to Yosemite and now Apple symbol and install bar displays each time I restart

    Hi guys,
    Hoping someone can help. Recently upgraded to Yosemite and the other day I noticed that when restarting the Apple symbol displayed along with the install bar (just like happens when you upgrade your iPhone). This went on for about 30 seconds before the login screen displayed. This now happens every time I restart. I haven't downloaded and tried to install any files so I am not sure why this keeps happening.
    I am worried it might be malware or similar that is trying to work into the operating system. I have disconnected WiFi and timed the restart to check the logs (although I have no idea what I am looking for). The Apple System Log (ASL) Message log seamed to have a number of fail messages and 'installation' lines so hopefully this will make sense to someone. Below is the log for that 30 seconds of the install.

    Hi Blotontheland,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

  • HT1304 I have an iphone5 and i did the upgrade.  Now all of the music videos that I have purchased on itunes do not show up when the phone is held horizontally.  It is just a picture of album covers.  Any thoughts?

  • Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan

    Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan through Adobe, although Scanner says its combatible with Windows 8. Cannot reinstall drivers because Brother claims they're built-in. Help!

    1. Re: Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan
    Anubha Goel
    I am using a Brother MFC 8460N and on Brother's site it says its compatible with win 8.1 and that the driver is already installed. When I try to scan I am told there is no preset (there was with win 7 though) and I have to "custom scan." When I try that, I hear a sound as if the printer is trying to scan, but the feeder can't pull the paper through. I then get a blank .pdf as my scan. Thanks for your advice. I will try that.

  • Installed Win 8.1 and now no icloud?

    I installed wiin 8.1 Pro last night and Outlook works fine but when I clicked on my icloud contacts folder ini Outlook 2010, there were no contacts there.
    How do I get this to work with Win 8.1 pro (preview).

    Because I really needed to view the info on new items available in the iTunes Store I experimented with my display settings.
    By lowering the display settings to 1280x800
    (still could not see bottom of box at that time)
    and then raising it back up to 1440x900
    I was finally able to see the bottom of the resized box
    and now when the box is opened it maintains the new size.
    Hopefully next upgrade the box will default to the lowest and not the largest box size on windows and you can resize from there..

  • After re-installing Win 7 64 on my computer, and attempting to install my copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements, I now get the following message: "This version of Photoshop Elements requires MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher to be installed". Does anyone have

    After re-installing Win 7 64 on my computer, and attempting to install my copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements, I now get the following message: "This version of Photoshop Elements requires MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher to be installed". Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is? It has always worked in the past.

    I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed.  It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4).  Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html   The previous version works beautifully.

  • I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?

    I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I upgraded to ver. 10.4 and now my pc freezes when trying to back up my iphone and ipad2

    Since upgrading itunes to 10.4.3 I am unable to upgrade my software on my iphone 3GS and ipad2. As itunes first backs up these devices, it gets to Step 1 and then freezes. I am running Win 7 and had no problems with the previous versions of itunes.
    Has anyone else run into this problem?

    I am having the same issue. I just got a iPad2 and Sync'd it to my PC on Monday worked fine.... I added photo and then went back and changed the directory structure to organize them and now upon optimizing them it freezes and I get a windows error tell me the fail module is QuickTiime. I uninstalled the Apple of products and reinstall them and I still get the same issue. Everything worked fine before I Sync'd the iPad.....
    Any suggestions... Thanks

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since. I was making it thru the day with about 75% left. Now it's only 3:30 pm, andI'm at 50%. Any solutions, yet!

    I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since.I was making it thru the day with about 70% battery life left. It is now 3:30 and I'm already down to 50%. The upgrade worsened my situation. Any help out there?

    I had the battery problem. I upgraded the to iOS 5.0.1 last night and at least that problem seems to have been fixed. However, the problem with no audio on phone calls remains. Have not tried swapping the SIM card yet. The ATT guy says that they have resolved 90% of the no audio issues with a new SIM card. Not sure athat what has to do with anything but will try that first before requesting a replacement phone.
