If you are using the Swiss German or Swiss french input source, @ is at Option g. An Apple swiss keyboard should have @ printed on the g key too. To make what is on the keys of an Apple swiss keyboard match what you type, you should go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and make sure you have just one item on the list, and the name of that item has "Swiss" in it.


If you are doing option g and getting ©, it means you are using some other input source like US or ABC or German. German has @ at option L, US and ABC have it at option 2.

What is the system language set to?


In the System/Keyboard preference pane make sure this checkbox is checked:


Now go the the Keyboard menu icon in the menu bar and select Show Keyboard Viewer:


On the resulting keyboard viewer you can experiment to find what key combination will give your the @ sign you're looking for:


The Shift + 2 combination is what works with English keyboards.
