You may have the keys mixed up. The "Apple" key is the "Command" key.
I believe Apple should be at fault here. On PCs every key had one designation and it was perfectly clear which is which.
On my PowerBook G4, UK edition:
- the ctrl key is "Ctrl" or ^ (not labeled)
- the alt key is "Alt" or the railway symbol
- the command key is "Command" (not labeled) or the Apple symbol or the cloverleaf symbol
- the shift key is "Shift" (not labeled) or the open arrow
- there are two enter/return keys, each with own symbol
And my personal favourite is the escape key, which is "Esc," but also has a symbol (a circle with an arrow pointing out). This symbol is not present on my keyboard, but I found it (and only it) in one of the (older) programs, and its also shown in the Force Quit menu item. Took me 10 minutes to figure out which key that might be.
Now, weren't Macs supposed to be easy to use...? What's the rationale behind these confusing double or triple designations?
