Check your regional settings in the control panel.

Looks like you have the implemented keyboard in place.

(e.g. US rather than UK or vice versa)

  • I get no option restore when I hold down the cmd key

    I have a mac mini with a 2.53 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 500 GB two HD (a server) end of 2009. I bought the mac mini 2nd hand and restored with a copy of my mac book pro 2010 running El Capitan. I restored it by pressing the command and r after that restart and select the external hard drive with time machine copy of my macbook pro.

    I noticed that the mac mini is extremely slow compared to my macbook pro, which has similar features.  I also noticed that there is no network preferences panel and there are other subwindows preferences (icloud, internet accounts and startup disk) that does not open.

    For these reasons, I tried to restore the mini with copy cloned my MacBook when it was running Yosemite, but when I restart and hold down command & r, I don't get food options and it goes directly to the login screen. I tried with the time machine, a cloned HD backup but I don't get any restore option for either.

    When I try to open the startup disk, which does not either. I seem to be stuck now with a very slow machine and no option to restore to factory settings or my older OS of Yosemite.

    My apologies for the long post, but I am confused as to how to proceed and would appreciate any help.

    Erase the hard drive then install Snow Leopard from the DVD retail. The update 10.6.8 download installer of El Capitan of the App Store, click the install button after the download is complete and the installation program is started on your computer.

  • "When I click on the SHIFT key and 2 keys for Word marks, I get and when I click shift and ' key I get"

    When I click on the SHIFT key and 2 keys for Word marks, I get and when I click shift and ' key I get "... The keys have changed places?

    Original title: keyboard

    Go to the Panel control, region, language, keyboards & languages, change keyboards, tab bar of language and, if you regularly change language settings, make the hidden language bar. I think you have touched a keyboard shortcut that has hired it & changed the region / language settings and therefore caused this problem.

    Then go to control panel, region, language, keyboards & languages, change keyboards, advanced settings tab key where you can see the key sequence of shortened which probably you entered this problem by chance. You will also see the sequence of modifier keys that you want to change by clicking on the button sequence of modifier keys and by setting the input language switch & switch keyboard to not [when I changed them, I had to define not entitled for the switch input language and accept change, and then return to the dialog box to set no affect for the keyboard switch setting].

    If I want to I have to hold down the FN key and shift at the same time key to get capital letters uppercase letters.

    Looks like your laptop is a numeric keypad incorporated in the standard keyboard.  So, probably, you have NumLock to be able to use this feature.  Find a way to turn off Num Lock.

    It would be better to a question in a forum of Acer...
    Or simply look in your manual...  (page 19); }

  • Compaq laptop screen suddenly begins to roll and will continue to do so even if I hold down the ctrl key.

    My laptop is Compaq Presario CQ50 - 210us Notebook PC running Windows VISTA. All support comes from HP. He developed a mind of your own. The screen starts rolling when he wants to. I have no control over it. This happens with the games already installed HP, IE9 and office. Sometimes I can stop it by pressing the ctril, but once I stop it again.  If I turn off the laptop and wait to turn it back on it starts rolling and sometimes it for more than 10-15 minutes. All updates are in place. Any suggestions is it really a problem? Thank you.

    Hi JoAnn,

    Did you recent hardware or changes to the software of the system?

    Method 1:

    You can check the following items and check if the problem occurs in safe mode.

    I am train to sample a color with the brush on a layer tool empty while the paint holding the key ALT on my mac, but it does not work for me on Photoshop CC. Is there a setting I'm missing?

    Thank you

    Select the eyedropper tool, check in options. "All layers" is selected?

  • Hold down the Ctrl key you can select several key entries no longer works: why?

    used to work, now it isn't.

    It is a function of the operating system. When was the last time you restarted your computer.

  • Now the SHIFT key when you drag

    Anyone know what I have to do to make sure that when I hold down the SHIFT key, the object moves on the same plan that she began to? The service has worked well over the years, but he started to act this morning.

    I tried:

    • Closing and reopening the file.
    • Program closing and re-opening.
    • The computer restarts and the reopening.

    I use Illustrator CS4 on an Intel based Macintosh system.

    Dysfunction of the modifier keys is often caused by other software, like Entourage or Firefox. See the list instead of Jacob: http://bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/other.html

    I can't upload more than one photo.  I tried to hold down the SHIFT key and highlighting the remaining photos.

    If you use the browser Internet Explorer (IE) that you will only be able to download one file at a time. This is by design of Microsoft's browser. If you want to download several files to use another browser such as Firefox or Chrome.

  • Lasso tool polygon binding angles trying to add to the selection with the SHIFT key

    Since upgrading (downgrading?) of Photoshop CS6 Extended Photoshop CC I have a problem with the lasso tool of polygon limited at certain angles when you try to add to a selection.

    Here's the scenario, I select a color background with the magic wand tool, then I would like to add a few things to the selection, so I click on the polygon lasso tool and hold the SHIFT key to add to the playlist and then start to use the polygon lasso tool... often very randomly the polygon lasso tool will limit his movements to a 90 degree angle Sometimes something that seems like an angle of 30 degrees and sometimes he'll do any.

    I'm doing something wrong or is this a bug?

    The SHIFT key has two functions in the creation of a selection.  The first is as you know to add to any selection using another selection tool.  The second is forced to angles in drawing and selection, but also rotation tools.  So for your example, you have to hold down the SHIFT key when you click on to add to your selection using the polygon lasso tool, but after making the first click with the tool, Photoshop knows that you want to add to the selection.  So do not hold the SHIFT key after the first click, otherwise Photoshop assumes that you also want to compel the angles drawing of your choice.  (Unless that's what you really want to)

  • Impossible to draw circles or squares in Captivate (now the SHIFT key does not.)

    Hello


    I am trying to add seats and circle shapes to a Captivate 8 project.

    Until I click to draw the shape, I hold down the SHIFT key to constrain the proportions. Captivate draw me an oval or rectangle all the same.

    Error test I tried:

    1. You attempt to add a square in PowerPoint to now SHIFT work (so not a hardware issue?)
    2. Resizing my dratted rectangles and ovals to now SHIFT in Captivate forced the proportions, but not to a shape, I need!
    3. Now SHIFT while resizing of images also forced the proportions.
    4. The same error occurs also in my copy of Captivate 7?

    I'm completely stumped. I know it's the basic function, but it is vital for me to be able to create a team available. Is it simply not possible to draw from the "perfect" square and circles in Captivate?

    Seth

    Look no further, Captivate doesn't have that 'basic' feature at all. Sign in please, apply. Apparently only few users is absent, because it has never been on the priority list. I've been this logging for all versions from 5... but without success. And don't forget: I think it's really an essential feature. Work to MOVE when you want to maintain the proportions, is not to draw a circle or a square. You must change the size by using the properties, and it takes a lot of clicks, certainly in CP8.
