Arabic keyboard Layout

After the latest update (IOS 5.0.1) I can't change the layout of the Arabic keyboard. I got stock with Arabic- PC.
As the attached photo shows that i choosed Arabic layout but it doesn't change.
Please advise how to change to Arabic layout.

Somehow my friend still has the Arabic layout without a jailbreak. Another friend tried to figure out how to change the layout. Then he couldn't revirse to Arabic and now he got the Arabic-PC, so once you change that's it!!!
I just asked another friend to screen shoot his Arabic layout for you.

Keyboard Layout files directory ?

Hi all,
I recently got an english/arabic keyboard. I've noticed a slight layout issue with the "Arabic-PC". It appears the best of the default arabic layouts. I can easily correct thing with using Ukelele. The issue is I'm unable to locate the Arabic-PC layout file to load and use as a template with Ukelele.
Any idea where the default layout files are kept ?
Rick

The issue is I'm unable to locate the Arabic-PC layout file to load and use as a template with Ukelele.
These files are not usable -- that's why when you download Ukelele it comes with a folder called System Keyboards that contains the templates. Unfortunately Arabic-PC is not included in that folder.
It's possible others have already done what you need. See if this note helps at all:

Persian keyboard layout

Is there anyway to access / request the creation of a Persian keyboard layout? The new OS that was released with the 3GS can near-perfectly render Persian and Arabic, but it only has an Arabic keyboard layout, which doesn't contain the characters that are unique to Persian.
This shouldn't be difficult since the iPhone can already render and display Persian in e-mails, websites, and album information.

Finding a keyboard Layout

Hello,
i've been using PC computers but I switched recetly to Mac systems. I added (via system preferences) the arabic keyboard layouts (Arabic + Arabic Qwetry). However, both layouts are different from the standard PC keyboard which confuses me when typing in arabic and makes it hard for me to type in arabic very quickly.
so is there any place I can find some arabic keyboard layouts to be installed on Mac?
thanks

The problem is that it is hard to me to learn another layout because I type without looking and my keyboard has only english letters writtin on it
If you will tell me what corrections need to be made to the Arabic Windows I can try to fix it.
Keyboard viewer only shows me available keyboard layouts without telling me how characters are organised in each layout
It doesn't sound like you understand what Keyboard Viewer is yet. When you have the Input Menu in front of your in System Prefs/International, find the box next to Keyboard Viewer and check it. Then select Keyboard Viewer in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder. A virtual keyboard will appear on your screen, and its keys will change when you change the flag in the "flag" menu.

The QWERTY and PC layouts are only available when you are using a hardware keyboard. Is that what you are doing?
please sort this one out!

How can I stop OSX from changing my keyboard layout

I have an English system, a French AZERTY keyboard (I live in France), and I work in five languages. I have three keyboard layouts installed, including French, of course (I use French numeric).
After a recent update, OSX suddenly started changing my input layout against my wishes. I have always set my preferences to use the same keyboard in all documents unless I manually change it - so please don't tell me about that feature, I know about it. It's not the problem.
It seems to want to revert to the system language (English) rather than the keyboard layout I've specified. I tried changing my interface language to French, and guess what? It wanted me to have the French keyboard layout!
If some Apple engineer decided we should automatically have the same keyboard layout as our system language - this is bad UX. Some of us touch type (and therefore are used to one keyboard layout) and need for it to stay put. Others use different layouts with different character sets (Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Cyrilic, etc.). Don't force me to have the "convenient" setting automatically with no override. If there is a way to get around this problem, please tell us. I've seen lots of complaints around about this phenomenon, but no solutions so far. Not from Apple, and not from anyone else, either.
Thanks.

Can i order a MBP with backlit English/Arabic Keyboard and got it shipped?

can i order a MBP with backlit English/Arabic Keyboard and got it shipped?

The answer depends entirely on where you are. Are you in a country where that keyboard layout is offered by Apple Stores, an Apple Online Store, or Apple resellers? If so, the answer is yes. If not, the answer is likely to be no.

Multiple Libraries / Keyboard Layout folders?

Howdy All -
Because Mac doesn't ship w/ a proper Arabic keyboard, I made one using ukelele. I added this to my old MacBook. So far so good. I bought an Air in the spring, transferred my account from the MacBook - no problems (ahem, related to the keyboard layouts).
However, I wanted to share this keyboard layout with friends and colleages (the world!), but when I navigate to my user's "Keyboard Layout" folder in Library, there is only a layout I recently designed. Is there another place I might find the other layouts I made previously (& that are still listed in Language preferences)?
I seem to recall both a "local" and "global" Keyboard Layouts folder in 10.6: if I added a keyboard layout to the global folder, then all users had access to it. But if I added it to the local folder, only that particular user could access it. But I can't find any such alternative layout folder.
Thanks in advance for your help!
All the best,
Rax

Your problem is that Home/Library is not visible in Lion without some special effort. See

I would be interested in having a copy of your layout, I have made a couple myself to fix various issues, e.g.

Letters on Arabic Keyboard Not Correct

I just bought a Mac with an Arabic Keyboard...many letters are not typed correctly; the letters on the keyboard are not matching the typed ones on screen...they are missed up. Please advise how to fix this issue.

In system preferences/languge & text/input sources, you should see a couple Arabic layouts -- Arabic, Arabic Qwerty, and Arabic PC. Make sure only the one which matches your hardware keyboard is checked. If your keyboard came from Apple, that wouild be Arabic.

TThere are now two keyboard layouts" software and hardware" keyboard layout. Why does hardware one a

Under Settings'/general/keyboards, There are now two keyboard layouts" software and hardware" keyboard layout. I can easily just pic US in the software one, but the hardware one has three style choices of only arabic keyboards and it requires me to pick one. So I still get arabic when I hit the globe. If anyone knows how to solve this one (get rid of it!) i will respect u forever.
On this discussion board i always hear, go to settings keyboard and change to US. As explained above, that does not solve the problem, nor many other users I read on here have the same issue as I do. VERY ANNOYING.

You are might knight in shining armor. If u road on,a white steed with a glass of grand marnier I'd marry u! Lol. Oh yea. Im already married to one. Seriously thanks dude, u have no idea how much this has driven me nuts that i couldn't even see an edit button? Thanxs again!

How can i disable Illustrator from changing my language / keyboard layout.

I have an azerty laptop and a qwerty external keyboard. Switching from any application to illustrator changes the language and therefore also my keyboard layout. No other application does this.

Thanks for the reply Mike
But i have a laptop with azerty layout (Belgian) and an external qwerty keyboard (Brittish).
So i need both languages selected in the System Pref >> Keyboard >> Input source
When "Brittish" is selected and i switch from Apple Mail to Photoshop to Skype to Chrome to ... it all works fine.
Only when i switch to Illustrator it also changes my language/layout from "Brittish" to "Belgian" and stays like that. I need to manually change it back in the menu in Finder.
I like the brittish better (with a qwerty keyboard) because of the shortcuts (eg. sqare brackets -> shortcuts for order in Illustrator are not even on an azerty (Belgian) keyboard).
Any idea?

Exchange a brand new computer because of the keyboard layout ?

Hi !
I'm currently in Finland for work, and I bought a Macbook Air, it's brand new so.
But I didn't thought of the keyboard layout, which is of course Finnish;
Do you think I can exchange this MBA with a one with the correct layout back in my country;
Or is it better to return this MBA here, and buy a new one once I'm home ?
I'd like to be able to return or exchange the MBA in my country, is the refund/exchange policy international ?
Thanks

The European law state you have anyway a 7 day open box return policy for this kind of product, I think I'll go to the store and ask if they can exchange it for one with international/US keyboard or give me a refund if they havn't got one.
I got a callback appointement with Apple Support France tomorrow (my country) to ask them if it's possible to use the warranty to exchange layout. But as you said, I don't think it's possible since the keyboard is working perfectly fine..

Problem with Mail and customized keyboard layout

I have created a customized keyboard layout in XML, it loads and works perfectly with all applications except Apple Mail. I noticed on a googlegroup that somebody has the same problem. How can I submit this Mail bug to Apple?

Bug report: A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard

This is a bug report for Microst Remote Desktop
===================================================
## Summary
A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard
## Version Information, I tested
* Client
   * Case 1
       * MacBook Pro with JIS106 Keyboard
       * Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24308
   * Case 2

   * Case 2
       * Windows Server 2008R2 Datacenter Japanese
   * Case 3
       * Windows Server 2012R2 Datacenter Japanese
## Detail of bug
When login from Mac OS X with Microsoft Remote Desktop, the keyboard layout is always incorrect on the remote.
The client machine have a built-in keyboard of JIS 106 layout,
and the primary language is set to Japanese.
But on the remote, the keyboard layout is US 101.
So a input of Shift+2 does not result " but @.
I've seen the above behavior on the 3 remote enviornments described the above.
This bug did not occcur with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1, even if the system language is English and keyboard layout is Japanese.
## Captures
I've took some of screen captures.
I'm sorry for the capture includes Japanese words, so I added description in English.
Capture 1:
Mac OS X Keyboard Setting
Capture 2:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard
Capture 3:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard, with a additional registry key configured.

This bug also affects the Canadian English settings. If the client is set to Canadian English with a US keyboard the remote server is setup using a Canadian French keyboard. Using the language selection in the toolbar you can temporarily correct
the problem but the keyboard resets to french at the most inopportune times. The was a problem in the earlier RDP client and was fixed so it's sad to see it reoccur in the new client.

Bug report: A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Hungarian and other "exotic" keyboard layouts

This is a bug report for Microst Remote Desktop
===================================================
## Summary
A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Hungarian keyboard
## Version Information, I tested
* Client
   * Case 1
       * MacBook Pro with HU101 Keyboard
* Locale: Hungarian
       * Mac OS X Maverics 10.9.2
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.6

   * Case 3
       * Windows 8.1 (Hungarian)
## Detail of bug
When I connect to the listed remotes the client sets the keyboard layout to Latvian which is a completely different layout than Hungarian (not even close...).
- On Windows 8 if I set the language on the login screen it stays on that language after the login.
- On Windows Server 2003R2 and 2008R2 even if I set the language at login it will switch back to LV after the login.
## Attachments
Unfortunately cannot include my shots because I'm not allowed to do this...
## End of report
Please allow the users to set the correct "target" language on connection basis because the automatic method the app use to determine that is unreliable.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
I will forward this to the product team.
Thanks.
