Buying U.S. English Keyboard in Germany

I'm currently living in Germany and need to update my PowerBook G3 to a new (the update coming in a week or two) MacBook Pro. I can buy one with an International English keyboard from the German Apple website, but would rather get a U.S. keyboard (left shift key is truncated in International version, so harder for me to reach, same with return key).
Anybody know if it's possible to buy a MacBook Pro with a U.S. English keyboard in Germany?
Any help would be appreciated.
best,
Jake

Unfortunately, no. Not from Apple, at least. The online store for the US will not ship internationally.
You may be able to purchase one from a 3rd party retailer (e.g. Best Buy or another online seller), but I'm not certain - you'd have to check on that. Or, purchase online from the US online Apple Store and have it shipped to someone in the US who can then ship it to you.
Hope this helps...

  • Where can I buy a Macbook pro retina display with english keyboard in bangkok

    Hi,
    I am currently in Bangkok right now. I wanted to buy the new Macbook Pro with retina display. I went to Power Buy in Central world and found out that the keyboard for the macs have thai characters as well as English ones. I wanted to buy a mac with plain English keyboard. The guy in the store said that is only possible if I buy online.
    Is there anywhere or any store in Bangkok where I could get the new macbook pro with an english keyboard? Thanks.

    Since nobody in this forum represents Apple or any store, you will probably get better info on this by directly contacting stores yourself.

  • Can i buy mac book pro with english keyboard from dubai?

    i will visit dubai and i am planning to buy a mac book pro from there. İ wonder if i can buy this mac book pro with an English keyboard and all the manuals in English. Any help on this please?

    Actually, you can - but it is special order only - they consider it as a customized unit....You might have to wait a week or two.....
    You can check the Apple Store at the Mall of the Emirates and see if they have it in stock....
    Or, you can go to Apple's website select UAE as the country and configure it with the US keyboard and wait for delivery...
    Good luck..

  • Buy mac air with Arabic and English keyboard

    would like to buy mac air with Arabic and English keyboard?
    can u guid me

    Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store.  So to find out whether you can buy something, you need to contact stores or consult their websites in the country where you live directly yourself.
    Since you did not say where you live, it is hard to provide much further help.  If you live in the US, you can go to the web page for the online store and order this machine with an Arabic keyboard.  But they will not ship outside the US, and every store is different.
    Arabic keyboards always have English on them too.  Otherwise you could not type email or web addresses.

  • Changing English keyboard layout to German layout

    I am thinking abut buying the new MacBook Pro 15" Retina in Malaysia, therefore with an English keyboard layout. Is there any affordable and less complex possibility to change the layout afterwards to german,  besides decals etc., as I am German and will continue my university studies in Germany next year?

  • History back on non-english keyboards

    It appears that all non-english keyboards (meaning keyboards that does not have the [ and ] characters as a "singlepress-key"), can't use the history back and forward feature anymore. You need to use the mouse right-click feature or use the buttons in the menu. I'm using a Wacom Tablet and have my buttons are configured to history back and forward when Safari is an active window. I've tried to switch to US keyboard and make the shortcut in the Wacom software, but after I go back to my native language - Danish - it doesnt work. After Apple changed the option from backspace to command + [ and ], I cannot use the history anymore unless I have to use the mouse.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Jim,
    That shouldn't be a problem at all, if you buy it in the US, the software will be in English, but should install just fine on her PC.
    I'm sure someone will give their input, some people here have bought players from other regions.

  • Ukrainian and English keyboard switching

    I have a Logitech Ukrainian English Keyboard, and I have the Ukrainian language keyboard input set in my preferences. For some reason when I am typing in Ukrainian and I need to position my cursor back a space or several to fix a mistake the language defaults to English and I must manually go back and switch back to Ukrainian.
    Now I also have a Apple Russian/English Keyboard and the same problem.
    I type my documents in multi languages (sometimes), and it is most annoying when I switch to Russian or Ukrainian and go back to do and edit to have it default back to English.
    What can I do to keep the language up until I decide to change it not the Mac???
    Thanks in advance!

    On a side note: Every PC Clone shop I have visited has a zillion PC's, but they will install your software for you and for some reason you never get the disks... lol
    They have tons of printers but finding the ink to replace is difficult if you are looking for Epson or HP, but if you want ColorWay or some other after market ink well no problem.
    Paper? We don't have Office Depot types of stores.
    PC Games or Movie DVDs? Are all pirated, or you can download them for free of the net here in Ukraine.
    Finding an original un opened factory sealed copy of Windows 7 took a week of searching in my town, it was only available in Russian (not even Ukrainian which I would have preferred over Russian) the chain store had one copy of each version and Ultimate was $380 or 3000UAH.
    At one of the 4 stores in Kiev (iStore) that sells Macs only, I scored iPods, Snow Lep in Russian, and Apple Keyboards all from Apple and factory sealed. They have iPads and minimal support for repair of the products they stock, so it is not so bad, but Kiev is an hour away by bus. Longer on donkey cart. NO iPhones.
    So in the end, if the only real problem I have ever had with any of my Macs is the stupid keyboard switching back and forth on occasion, I guess I can't really complain. For all of these years they have been hassle free, two virus attacks since 1984. Two actual hardware failures since 1984 ... I buy new iMacs when I feel the need to go shopping or something looks just too good to pass up.
    My internet DSL Line is about as slow as a dead cow dragging a dead elephant up a 50% grade hill. My actual telephone lines were laid by the Soviets over 40 years ago. I make my own vodka!
    Thanks for your help!!! It was much appreciated.

  • Tecra M3: Change english keyboard to a german one

    Hi,
    I have received a Tecra M3 with an english keyboard, though we are located in Germany. This in fact makes it a bit hard to deal with german special characters. Is it possible to simply exchange the keyboard by a german one? And, if so, how much does it cost?
    Thanks, Carsten

    Hi
    I really dont know how much it costs but I am pretty sure that you can exchange the keyboard to German one. Service partner can order it for you. After that install German operating system and .. enjoy the life.
    If you want to exchange it alone, be careful because of warranty but the exchange procedure is very simply and you can do it alone. If you need some help write gain.
    Good luck!

    No. The US store does not provide anything but US or Spanish (I think) keyboards. You have to order from the UK store to get an English keyboard.
    The current options available online are U.S. English, Western Spanish, French or Japanese keyboards. You might try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE to speak to someone. It's possible you might be able to get something else as a BTO option.

  • Macbook bought in France with a international english keyboard problem

    Hi,
    My friend bought a macbook for france apple online store, he choosed a international english keyboard layout, but when he got it, he found that the keyboard is neither english laybout nor french layout, because there is not any configurations that matches his physical keyboard buttons.
    The A - Z buttons is as the US keyboard, but the ;'~`[](){}/?! etc. are not correct, that means when u choose the US layout from the system preference->international, the A - Z work, but the ;'~`[](){}/?! are not at where u see them, when u choose FR layout, A - Z are not correct, british english doesn't work, too.
    I have tried all the english countries and french countries, but no one works with 100% of the buttons.
    Can Apple give me a solution to the problem? or if the macbook that he got is not well assembled?

    Yes… I would at a minimum contact Apple sales or AppleCare regarding this. You have two options though. You can ask for a new one, given they can't simply swap out a keybaord you need to exchange the whole thing.
    Otherwise, you can use it as a bargaining chip and say ask for a free external International English keyboard and a discount on your next Apple Store purchase… for instance.
    Regardless, be polite yet firm with them as you did not get what you ordered.

  • Some applications don't put accents with non-english keyboard layouts

    I'm using a Portuguese keyboard with three different macs running Mac OS Tiger 10.4.8/9. Some applications (like Motion 2 and Swift Publishing 2) don't allow writing some accented characters, like (è) or (ê), that are accessed by Shift+normal key, but they do display correctly other accented letters, for instance (é), witch are accessed directly without the Shift key. This happens only in some applications and with a european keyboard layout (I tried it also with the spanish and french keyboards layouts), but not with other applications (it works all right with Word or iPhoto) and the english keyboards.
    Any sugestion as how to solve this? If I create the text in some other application and paste it in Motion it works! But it's a drag.

  • Non-english keyboard layouts work in some programs, not others

    In some programs, I can set a non-English keyboard layout and have the appropriate behavior when it comes to diacritics - in, say, the brazilian layout, hitting { then a will give me a á, and so on. It works perfectly fine in Firefox and xchat, for instance. But in other programs, opera and openoffice to name two I've tried, this fails. I either get a garbage character when I hit the first diacritic key or I just get the diacritic by itself and then the accentless vowel: ´a.
    Completely non-English characters still work fine; I can get ç in the Brazilian layout and ñ in Latin American and the Georgian one works fine too, since Georgian doesn't have diacritics I presume. It's just diacritics that don't work.
    I first noticed this problem after I installed SCIM, so I assume it has something to do with the SCIM installation, but I don't know what I did in the process of installing it that would've messed things up.

    you have to go to Apple store online then you'll have to go to customize your MacBook Pro, there you choose Arabic keyboard, and it'll automatically contains both languages English and Arabic....... because the Latin letters must have for any computer to be used on email's website and etc. etc.
