Keyboard shows up the wrong characters

[johne53]

I just bought a Mac Pro for use in the UK. I'm using a non-Apple keyboard (standard 102 keys) and I've checked that my Region is set correctly - but regardless of whether I select "British" keyboard or "British PC" it always gives me an @ sign instead of double quote marks (and vice-versa). Is there any way I can reverse those actions so that I get the correct characters?

I have an older Mac Mini here (still at about Yosemite) which doesn't give this problem so I must have solved it at some time in the past - I just can't remember how...

If you don't find how to do it through preferences....there are some third party apps that let you remap keys, like Karabiner.

Sounds like it's the keyboard;
just change them in text replacement:

1. Go to the  Apple menu and down to “System Preferences”
2. Click the “Language & Text” preference pane.
3. Click on the “Text” tab.
4. Add text to replace...

Thanks guys but I realised it isn't enough just to select "British PC" from within my System Preferences. It also needs to get selected on my Menu Bar.!
