Chinese character input - how do you set it up?

Has anyone been able to get this working, and if so, where do I go to input the characters? This is a wonderful feature on the iPhone and want to be able to do it on my Mac.

It's great on the Iphone because you have the screen underneath your finger, but on a regular trackpad, it's not quite the same since you have to lift your finger and then need to look at the screen so that you're sure that it is exactly at the right place. If you just try to trust it, it usually works pretty well, but to me it's much better to just use pinyin or zhuyin for input. still....it's fun!
I just got Snow Leopard up and running, and the trackpad input is a disappointment to me. I played with it for five minutes, but I am unable to use it in a productive way, for exactly the reasons you mention. Well, back to the iPhone!

  • Chinese Character Input?

    Hi, I have snow leopard and I was wondering how to do the chinese character input, I know that you use the trackpad, but where do I go to do it? Thanks

    First of all you need to turn-on the features on the International Panel Located in the Preference area.
    I have encounter some bugs on the TrackPad Input. It recognize the characters quite well but, it is quite difficult to delete or accept characters you will understand what I'm saying when you tried it out.

  • How do you set NLS_LANG environment variable in report builder

    How do you set up the reports builder environment to display foreign fonts.
    So far what I read makes me think that in report builder I have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable .
    If anyone has done this is that true and if so how.
    Also the languages I want to use are the following.
    Armenian
    Cambodian
    Chinese
    Russian
    Tagalog
    Vietnamese
    How do I find the NLS_LANG environment variables for these.
    Where I am at now+
    I have to set the DEVELOPER NLS LANG. I see the NLS LANG in the registry and I guess I have to add the DEVELOPER NLS LANG.
    Now I am searching for syntax. If anyone knows the syntax for those languages please let me know and how do I set more than 1 at a time.

    Hello Howard,
    Check out the following link here you can find your desired NLS parameters.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
    And about the NLS_LANG for developer why you want to create for developer. Its is already there in REGISTRY. Just seaching in developer registry you can find there.
    how do I set more than 1 at a time.
    You can set only one NLS_LANG parameter at a time.

  • How do you set up TC with cable internet?

    I know this may sound ******** but if I have a coaxial cable coming out of my wall and the is no coaxial cable input on the TC, how do you set it up without using the crappy router I got from TW cable?  Is there a coaxial cable to ethernet adapter?

    but if I have a coaxial cable coming out of my wall and the is no coaxial cable input on the TC, how do you set it up without using the crappy router I got from TW cable?
    Suggest that you ask TW to provide you with a simple modem.....not a router. The TC is also a router. You don't need two routers and it just makes things more complicated.
    Is there a coaxial cable to ethernet adapter?
    No. You need to connect the coax cable to a modem. The modem provides an Ethernet signal to the TC.

  • How do you set up the passkey between the Mac & Palm?

    Hi all,
    I need help with a couple of things relating to bluetooth and Mac;
    a) when I try to HotSync the Palm TX and iBook(OS 10.3.9) using BT, I get an error message saying "can't initiate Hotsync because port is in use by another application'.
    b) how do you set up the passkey between the Mac & Palm? I can't work out how to input anything on the Palm at the step where it asks for the passkey.
    thanks
    iBook 1.2GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Palm has this to say about the issue:
    'Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application.'
    This error can occur on the Palm™ Zire™ 72 handheld after setting up a Bluetooth® HotSync® connection. When you configure the Bluetooth application on the handheld for synchronization (or when you set up a Bluetooth connection in the Connections preference screen), the HotSync button in the Writing Area may try to launch a Bluetooth connection, regardless of the connection selected in the HotSync application on your handheld. The HotSync icon in the Writing Area will always try to connect using whatever method was last used. When you set up Bluetooth HotSync, it used Bluetooth, and now tapping the icon in the Writing Area will result in a Bluetooth connection.
    The issue arises if you launch the HotSync application on your handheld, and select the "Cradle/Cable" option from the pulldown menu, and then tap on the HotSync icon in the Writing Area. Your handheld will still try to perform a Bluetooth HotSync operation, because that was the method last used. You will see an error message, and won't be able to synchronize.
    Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application.
    Why does this happen?
    Because your handheld was set up for Bluetooth, tapping the HotSync icon in the Writing Area should launch a Bluetooth HotSync. But if you select a different method in the HotSync application, your handheld will try to connect using that method as well. The HotSync application is unsure which method to use, and you will see the error message.
    What should I do?
    If you see this error, here's how to correct the issue:
    1. Launch the HotSync application on your handheld.
    2. In the pulldown menu at the center of the screen, choose the connection method by which you wish to synchronize.
    3. Then, instead of tapping the HotSync icon in the Writing Area, tap the large onscreen HotSync icon in the middle of the HotSync application screen.
    4. Do this every time you wish to synchronize using Cable/Cradle.
    5. Whenever you want to synchronize using Bluetooth, exit the HotSync application and tap the HotSync icon in the Writing Area.
    6. This will allow you to keep multiple connection methods for synchronization, and the flexibility of alternating between them.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

    Help,
    I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
    How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
    I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
    Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
    Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Try the following for each AirPort Extreme ...

  • How do you Set up a Family Pack sub-account

    how do you Set up a Family Pack sub-account i have purchased a Family Pack account and enter the activation key and i can not find where to set up the sub-account.
    please help
    Denis

    Thanks Shepart
    when i activated the account i ticked the upgrade button, should i have ticked the new account button?
    anyway, when i do what you say (below) there is not a manage "Accounts button" so i went to reactive it again ( for a new account) and is says that the activation key is all ready in use.
    Denis, go to www.mac.com and sign into your account. Click on the word "Account" at the top of the left hand column. You will need to sign in again for security purposes. Once your account settings show up, click on the "Manage Accounts" button and you can take care of everything.
    i think i hit a brick wall !!

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Other options not covered in the article:
    1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
    2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.
