Apple laptops have a slightly different keyboard layout. Obviously the keyboard works fine on Mac OSX but has some minor problems on Linux and Windows. In my case I have a Spanish layout and the Alt key doesn’t work by default. Hence I am unable to type some characters (@ # |). If you come across the same problem, one solution is to change the keyboard layout from Spanish to US international. This way those specials characters are accessible by pressing the Shift key. Besides programming with the US layout is faster (e.g. / and ; just need one keystroke).

To change the keyboard layout in Centos type:

# system-config-keyboard --text

… and choose US layout.
