Well I have work out keyboards so the apostrophe not working is a 
possibility.  The obvious check would be to plug the keyboard into
another computer and see what happens.  Or get a new keyboard and if it 
isn't that you now have a spare.  Techy would be either to remap an 
unused key to become the apostrophe -- I've done it with Windows but 
haven't needed to for Linux.  Cheap-techy is manually enter: shift_U 
then 0027 (either keypad).

...Probably 'just' an incorrect setting.  I have a small keyboard -- 
seems like it is 98 keys or something odd.  Finally figured RPi wanted 
the 'US - mini-keyboard' or something similar configuration.  And when 
you find the correct setting put it on a label on the bottom of the 
keyboard!
