Symbols of the keyboard do not match what is typed, for example type / but displays

When I use the keyboard the symbols appearing on the screen are different for keys, that I press. For example the € shows like ' and the symbols @ watch that... Can someone help, this happened while I was typing a letter.

Looks like you might have the wrong language keyboard selected. You can view by visiting the preferences system-> keyboard-> input methods.

    If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

    How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

    Vista is not in control of this technique. Spy Sweeper needs to have an option to control that. If this isn't the case, then it is badly programmed. Flight of focus (go to another window) when it is actually needed is a big no-no for the design. I find this option, if I were you :)

  • Keyboard does not appear what is typed

    I recently bought my laptop and the keyboard makes me crazy...

    1. I have to hit the S and sometimes button R very difficult to get them to sign up, well given that it could be because I'm not used to the keyboard... but I think it goes beyond that.

    2. it sometimes stops showing what I'm actually typing and start cycling through the Qwerty (for example ' ~ 1234... ") qwertyu... jkl;' ("etc.). I particularly noticed in Skype, but also happened in IE a couple of times. It is not often in each program - in other words, Skype can show random letters, but in IE, I can type perfectly normally.

    3. in collaboration with the above problem, it will sometimes enter the incorrect letter in a word - letters that are too far to just be typos on my behalf...

    Can someone help me?

    I took a peek at the video and media files.  It seems to me that the video was intended to be a 'demo' and not actually documenting the stages of an exercise "Hands On."

    The 'Practices' steps are described in the file "Applications.pdf develop" content in the file 'day1_project_files.zip '.

    The steps in the "Service Configuration" (article 9) begin on page 50, but you must complete all of the previous steps (chapters 1-8) practices before that.

    I hope this helps.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.

    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    What version of the operating system and Photos you have - whether you use pictures you don't have OS x 10.9.4 as you say

  • L50-B-2FN satellite: select the keys on the keyboard does not

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L50-B-2FN, bought just five months ago (February 2, 2016), and apart from a problem recurring with the lid doesn't close does not correctly, I now have a hardware problem: the keyboard stopped working fully, with most of the numbers keys does not respond as well as the letters R and Y.

    I checked the keyboard configuration and drivers via Device Manager and the computer tells me that everything is working properly and updated, but this is clearly not the case. I tried Toshiba's own online recommendations: uninstall the keyboard (http://support.toshiba.com/support/t...TYPE=COMPUTERS) and a restoration of the system to the last automatic (http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-...10/ta-p/657989), but neither solves the problem.

    What I understand online forums, like thi keyboard problems are a problem common _very_ Toshiba satellites, especially those running (or update of) Windows 10 (mine came with Windows already installed 10). He, however, seems to be a clear or coherent solution. Can anyone help? Apparently the warranty on this unit (serial number, part number) expired on December 1, 2015, so even if I only bought it from the store on 2 February 2016, he is not covered - otherwise I would request a replacement, especially since the problem with the lid doesn't close does not correctly too...

    Hello

    I guess you checked if the Tablet has been properly connected to the docking keyboard.

    Have you tried to unplug and plug the docking again?
    Note: there is a latch on the left you have to move and in order to remove the tablet.

    Perhaps there is a connection problem.

  • Satellite A300D-126 the keyboard does not work

    I reinstalled the driver but it still does not. What could be the problem? Help please. Thank you

    Hello

    What s wrong exactly?
    You have reinstalled the drivers?
    What drivers do you mean?

    The keyboard driver is part of the Windows operating system and it cannot be reinstalled separately.

    If your keyboard doesn't work properly then either the software doesn't run as it should, or the material (keyboard) is defective.

    You could try reinstalling the operating system using the Toshiba HDD recovery to check whether the problem is related to the software.
    If the keyboard does not work after this procedure, then a hardware problem might be possible.

    How do you load the content on the iPod?  Manually (do drag and drop items on the iPod in iTunes), or automatically (set up screen settings of music from iPod in iTunes)?

    What content isn't is?  Unless your iTunes library is small enough to fit on the iPod completely, it is normal for the content on the laptop to not game content on the iPod.
