Wrong keyboard mapping on a MacBook C2D 2.0 GHz. with german keyboard,

I think people with a english keyboard won't have this problem.
It might be interesting if other people will have the same problem,
with non english keyboards.
But if you have a english keyboard please feel free to test.
Summary:
Wrong keyboard mapping on a MacBook C2D 2.0 GHz. with german keyboard, when choosing chinese "Hanin" input with YiTian keyboard layout.
Steps to Reproduce:
A) MacBook C2D 2.0 GHz (white) with german keyboard
B) MacOSX 10.4.8
1. choose System Preferences - International - Input Menu
2. select Traditional Chinese and only Hanin
3. close System Preferences
4. open TextEdit
5. type 'y' to test if it still displays 'y'
6. choose the german flag next to the system clock and select chinese Hanin
7. press OptionShiftU to get preferences of Hanin
8. choose Modes - ZhuYin - YiTian
9. close preferences of Hanin
10. choose the Hanin symbol next to the system clock and select "Show Keyboard Viewer"
11. type in TextEdit again 'y'
Expected Results:
You should see a chinese character which looks like a nose with a mouth in a side view.
Actual Results:
You get a chinese character which looks like a ribbon. Which is actually
is the character you will get when you hit 'z'.
Regression:
Not only the y is switched with the z. All other keys are mapped like an
english keyboard layout.
It happens whenever you change to Hanin input with YiTian keyboard layout.
This happens here on a
MacBook C2D 2.0 GHz (white)
1 GB RAM
80 GB
Mac OS X 10.4.8
This does not happen on a
15" PowerBook G4 1.67 Ghz
Mac OS X 10.4.8 / Build 8L2127
This also does not happen on a
17" iMac C2D 2 GHz
Mac OS X 10.4.8 / Build 8L127
Notes:
I tried a SMC reset and reinstalled Mac OS X 10.4.8 on the MacBook but I still get the wrong output. The keyboard behaves like a english keyboard
when you choose Hanin with YiTian layout and only on this MacBook. I
couldn't try on other MacBooks. The problem remains if I use a german USB Apple Keyboard.
Update:
I now tested it on:
another MacBook 2.0 GHz C2D (white)
MacBook 1,83 GHz C2D
MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz C2D
all with german keyboard,
all have the same "bug"
PB G4, MacBook C2D, iMac C2D   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Maybe its a secret concept of first Aluminium MacBook? Ha?

  • Wrong keyboard mapping

    Hi,
    I have just rebuilt the OS on my Portege R100 in the UK. My keyboard mapping is wrong:
    the @ key above the number 2 key - shift lock shows " which is where the @ key is shown on the keyboard.
    How do i reset?

    Hi
    I assume your OS has wrong keyboard language settings.
    In the regional and language options you will find the possibility to modify this issue.

  • Randomly slow Airport connection on MacBook C2D

    Hi.
    Seems I am lucky because my brand new MacBook C2D can connect to WiFi access points!
    I have a "surprising issue" though : after a few minutes of connection, the connection gets very very slow.
    If I turn Airport off then back on, it all goes back to normal .... for a few minutes
    My MacBook is uptodate, with AirPortExtremeUpdate2007001 installed.
    I spent over an hour with Applecare Today, but the issue is still there.
    We zapped the P-Ram, moved the "SystemConfiguration" folder to the desktop, restarted the router several times with no lasting effect.
    The access point is a Netgear DG 834 GT, configured with WPA security and an access list, on an occupied WiFi channel. 3 other Macs (2 MacBook Core Duo, 1 MacBook Pro 17 Core Duo) and one Sony Vaio connect to it without any problem.
    The MacBook C2D can connect to my home network (powered by a 802.11g Airport Extreme) at full speed without any issue either.
    Should I buy an Ethernet cable, wait for the next Airport update ?
    Does anyone experience the same kind of issue ?
    Thanks un advance.

    I have the exact same problem you are describing. Randomly, I experience EXTREMELY slow connections. Sometimes the connection is so slow it seems I am not connected. I have had this problem since I bought my MacBook C2D in the fall. This problem has occurred at many different access points, including my netgear router, coffee shops, and several different universities.
    My husband owns a MacBook Pro, and sometimes we will be side by side on our computers, which supposedly have the same software (I am running 10.4.8 and currently have all the updates as does he), same processor, and he never has trouble with his wireless connection. So it is definitely my computer, not the routers.
    I have called Apple support twice to descirbe the problem. They suggested I send the computer in to get the airport card replaced. At this moment my wireless is working. However, this is the first time since yesterday morning that it has worked. I don't think apple will replace the card unless the problem can be reproduced. And the problem seems to be entirely random.
    I would be very happy if someone figures out what is wrong.
    Thanks.

  • I cannot connect my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When trying to connect it says I have the wrong password, but I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have tried to restart my router, reset my network settings, fail!

    Hello, I am having some major troubles connecting my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When I try to connect on my phone, it says I have an incorrect password. That's not possible because I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have reset my network settings on my phone, reset my router, called apple support, triple checked I was trying it in correctly, I have no clue what's going on.
    The only thing different is I just moved, but I have the same router/phone/internet provider.
    I've seen some discussions of router security options being the problem, I have my router connected to : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
    The other options are: WEP , WPA-PSK[TKIP] , WPA2-PSK [AES] , WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
    My troubleshooting and understanding of all this is pretty limited, my applecare service did not help, please can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    If the issue happened after an update, you may want to go into an Apple Store. Be sure to let them know exactly what's wrong with the device.

  • Wrong keyboard layout after Mavericks update

    Hi,
    after update to OSX Mavericks the wrong Keyboard Layout is selected on Logon Screen after reboot and/or logoff.
    If i change it from "US" to "German" it will show the "US" again after next logoff/reboot.
    Befor the update to Mavericks, the language was only german and this was fine for me.
    Maybe someone have a solution, because i don´t want the US Keyboard Layout at the Logon Screen...
    regards
    Mathias

    Hi,
    two things I can think off: 
    1. Check if you have set your keyboard in xorg.conf as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … S_keyboard
    2. Open dconf-editor, surf there to org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard
    I have Layout set to ['de\tnodeadkeys'] there.

  • How do you insert an image into a google map using a macbook?

    I am trying to put images into a Google map using my MacBook, but cannot seem to find any help. How do I insert an image into my Google map using my MacBook?

    Nothing complicated with your menu - very clear "ADD Image" but my menus are not as simple. Everytime I need to add an image I spend 5-10 minutes searching again. Wonder why so hard. I generally find Acrobat menus cryptic and unclear and I am big Adobe fan - use Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Premier, Fireworks etc - but Acrobat menus are like calculus in the dark.

    My macBook Pro has no display  with 3 repetitive beeps. What is wrong?

    Bad RAM. Reseat it and see if that clears it up. If not then that need to be replace or the actual RAM sockets have gone bad.

  • MacBook Pro with German Keyboard from Italian Store

    Hi,
    I want to buy a MacBook Pro with German Keyboard Layout from the Italian Store, but the German Layout is not listen in the available Keyboard Layouts (only Italian, France, English International, English US).
    Does anyone know how to order it? Or is there any other possibility to get it? Will Apple add German to the list in the future?

    You might try calling an Apple retail store and ask if they can get one for you.

  • The new MacBook C2D

    Hi everyone!!!
    My question is to all already have the new MacBook C2D. Do you have any problems whit it? Heating? Software? Any problem? They don´t arrived yet at Portugal and i want to know if they are coming good!?
    Thanks to all and sorry my bad english! =)

    Well, I'm sitting here in my living room wirelessly connected, reading posts, listening to music, etc etc and I'm loving it. When watching HD video, the fans get louder but it's not unbearable like a desktop PC by any means. So far, I haven't found anything this MacBook can't do that my full-powered (and bulky) desktop system can do. The Core2Duo is plenty fast, the display is crisp, the wireless runs without a hitch, and even the trackpad works how it's supposed to. Laptops have come a long way.

  • Were can I get either MacBook Pro or Mac-air with English united state style keyboard, in Japan

    Were can I get either MacBook Pro or Mac-air with English united state style keyboard, in Japan

    Hi Melophage,
    Thank you very much for your response. I have a similar question to the one Abraham has, but applied to an offline Apple Store, say, the one in Ginza.
    I will have little time in Tokyo, and would like to get a MacBookPro with a US or Int'l keyboard (with or without Hiragana, I don't really care as long as there are English letters on the keyboard) off the shelf from an offline store. However, I keep getting conflicting responses from both within Apple and on forums.
    There's an option to get a US keyboard when ordering from Apple online, and that's fine. How about the in-store pickup option? Is there one, or will there be a MacBookPro with an English keyboard if I just show up at a store one day soon?
    I would greatly appreciate an answer if you have one. Thanks in advance!

  • Speed Comparison: iMac G5, Macbook C2D, and Macbook CD

    I was wondering what is fastest. First second and third. First being the fastest-third being the slowest.
    - iMac G5 with 1.8 Ghz PPC processor and 1.25 GBs RAM
    - Macbook C2D with 1 Gigabytes RAM
    - Macbook CD with 2 Gigabytes of RAM
    Thanks for any input!

    I was wondering what is fastest. First second and

    - iMac G5 with 1.8 Ghz PPC processor and 1.25 GBs

    - Macbook C2D with 1 Gigabytes RAM
    - Macbook CD with 2 Gigabytes of RAM
    Thanks for any input!
    1. MacBook CD w. 2 GB of RAM
    2. MacBook C2D w. 1 GB of RAM
    3. iMac G5
    The only way the iMac will be a better mechine is if you plan on using a lot of PPC apps, that will require Rosetta to open them. If I had to put money on it, Microsoft Word would open faster on the iMac then the MacBook C2D, but the CD would prob. be around the same amount of time as the iMac because of the 2gb's of ram.
    I am using a MacBook CD with 2gb of RAM and it is the fastest computer I have ever used. Besides for the Mac Pro with 12 GB of RAM that I demoed at the store. That is a rediculious amount of money.
    So the MacBook CD with 2gb of memory is definitly overall the fastest of those three computers.

  • Superdrives in new Macbook C2D

    I am about to invest in a new macbook but am worried about the nember of people who have expressed having difficulties with playing dvd's and ripping cd's. I have a huge nuber of old cd's that i would want to put onto itunes, and as a recent graduate, some of my dvd's are not in the best condition!!
    I therefore have 2 questions....
    1.Is the issue of media readability an inherent one with the drives that apple put in the macbook or could i get lucky with the one I get?
    2.Can anyone please post about how they feel the superdrive performs with scratched cd's and dvd's in the new macbook C2D? Positive comments would be appreciated!
    Many thanks in advance.

    i recomend buying one of these if your cds are damaged... http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=electronics-uk&field -keywords=cd%20repair&results-process=default&dispatch=search/ref=pdsl_aw_tops-2_electronics-uk_85861342&results-process=default?tag2=gb-en-google-21
