How do you type the £ sign on an iMac keyboard? Found an old thread suggesting Option 3. I have the new keyboard and believe the Option key is now the Alt key? Anyway, it doesn't work, I just get #.
Info:
iMac, iOS 7.1.1
Everytime I try to type in the pound sign on my keyboard I get this # could someone tell me how to correct this?

I have a problem but it's not mine it's my girlfriends. My girlfriend cannot seem to type correct words on her keyboard, due to water exposure. Now whenever she wants to type something it won't let her. We tried different methods; unplugging computer power cord, keyboard, and replug everything back in after 15-20 seconds. No luck. I also had her try to do the pram reset, didn't work as well. I suggest that she re-install osx with the disc or with the new snow leopard disc, to do a clean installation of the snow leopard but we haven't tried that yet.

How to sign out of all the devices that have my apple id?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI turned my iMac on (2008 model) but after 10 minutes it went black and beeped 3 times loudly, repeating at 5 second cycles. Shut it down by pressing the ON button for 5 sec. Restarted and all worked for a hour before repeating the same problem...screen and keyboard and touchpad all locked out....shut down with the ON button. On restart it gave me the 3 beeps every 5 sec with an ALL BLACK screen...no hard disk whirring, either. I don't know how to do cardiac massage on an iMac. Is it dead? Is it the processor? Is it the video card? Is it the hard disc?

Some time today, my iMac started displaying some type of outline in the background. I bought it in December, and I've never had any issues with it until today.What the outline is? I heard it might be dead pixels, but I honestly have no clue. I just checked the screen again and it's normal now.

I forced shut down and when I turned it back on a circle with a diagonal came up initially, followed by flashes of that, a question mark and the apple symbol. Now it won't get past the grey screen and the flashing symbols.

I'm posting from my iPhone right now, as my problem isn't even letting me log in to my user. I'm using Mac version 10.5.8.
When I was on the computer, it had a spasm that came out of nowhere. When I would use the scroll wheel, the screen would zoom in and out, I was only able to right click, and various keys would bring up that dull tone if I pressed them. I restarted the computer, as it is the solutions to most problems, only to not be able to log in. The only way I could type anything is my holding the option key and typing letters, pressing the return key (the return key came as a character), or pressing q and typing. I have no idea what each thing does.
Lately I have been having a very strange issue with my keyboard. Randomly it becomes unresponsive, but not every key?! All letters are unresponsive, however I am still able to navigate spaces using cmd-1,2,3,4 etc., and the caps lock button will turn on, however I can't type anything. The only way to resolve it is by putting the macbook to sleep and then waking it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust as of 20 minutes ago, I was able to type, but then for no reason, my computer can't type. The strange thing is that when I use the control click, use the mouse, or use the f keys, it works just fine. I used onyx to clean my computer, which didn't work. I restarted my computer, which didn't work, and I tried to go into the Keyboard/Mouse panel, but then System Preferences quit for no reason.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to type my password and hit enter/return I get an alert sound then nothing. Nothing about wrong password. Even more rare all of a sudden all I can type are symbols so I'm assuming this is what happens when I try to type my password to wake from sleep. I have to do a hard reboot before I can type in my password. I've re-installed Snow Leopard and updates. Tried deleting some preferences.
It's still happening. Anybody got any ideas? I've searching for similar problems. Can't even find a command that changes the entire keyboard layout to symbols only. I'm running 10.6.4 on a Macbook Pro.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf you have seen my other thread in the "Mac basics and help" forum this is how it all started: [URL]. I've worked out that now both of my keyboards have some how changed setting to only let me type with a set of numbers. If you look in this pic V yu will see blue numbers on the letter keys: (forget about the arrow thing found this on google). You see the numbers that are also on the keys? 6 being on O 3 on L. This is now how my key boards are set up. Does anyone know how to unset them?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Mac Mini 1.66 Intel 2006 OS X 10.4.11 with CD-R and DVD Player that won't boot properly into single user mode using a IBM PC keyboard. I have tried the alt-s, windows key-s and control-s key combinations. from the mac keyboard hints sheet located on this web site.
I have also tried to boot with key combinations from the mac mini manual with no success. I have also tried to simply insert the install CD/DVD for MAC OS X 10.4 that came with the computer and start the computer with various key combinations and the cd/dvd drive will not boot.
What do I need to do to be able to accomplish these tasks with the PC/ Windows keyboard.
So about 3 weeks ago I spilled some pop on my keyboard. I let it dry and then gently ran a cloth over the keyboard that was damp with rubbing alcohol. The alcohol dried up and it works fine. 2 weeks later I am downloading some "files" and I go to type SHIFT + U....and it wont type a capital U but it will type a small u. Makes no sense to me. I have to hit cap locks to type a capital U. All other keys are working fine. About 2 weeks ago I had some glitches with my mouse. So I know they key works and it has to do something with the OSX at this point.
