I have a problem with the 3/pound icon key on my iMac keyboard. The fund icon will not work, i just get # when i use the up arrow on the bottom left of the keyboard. Many ideas anyone please?
iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
I have just seen the same question and the answer is the pound sign is alt + 3 , I have a us keyboard. I wonder why this is? i purchased my iMac from John lewis in UK. Would anyone have the answer for me please?

Hi Rudgar, thanks for your reply. I have checked out your links and see that my keyboard is in fact a UK one. I think something has got changed in my settings somewhere? I don't remember if the 3 key has always been minus the pound icon. I have a macbook pro which I use a lot also so I really don't remember a problem with my iMac keyboard. Do you know, could I use any keyboard with my iMac, or it it just linked to the keyboard it came with? thanks again for your help!

To make what appears on the screen match what is printed on your keys, you need to activate the correct input source in system prefs/keyboard/input source.
If you have a UK keyboard made by Apple, then the list there should only have "British" on it. If you have a UK keyboard made by someone else, the list there should have only "British PC" on it.
Hi Tom, great that's fixed it just fine, I just needed to add UK and it's ok now, thanks dos much for your help, !!
