Country Flag in Menu Bar

Hey on some macs here in the United States, I have seen a USA flag in the menu bar. Does it have any significance or is it just for show? And if it is for show, how do I enable it?

Open the International pane of System Preferences and click on Input Menu; from here, change the setting to display the input menu in the menu bar as needed. This menu's icon is a flag representing the current keyboard layout, which will be a country's flag most often.

Change my language flag to a other flag on menu bar

I want change my language flag icon to a other kind of flag. I got the flag icon that I want replace with.But where do I put it?
Please give me step by step of what to do.

You need to download the app Ukelele from
http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele
It includes a set of system keyboard layouts and their flags in the form of .icns files.
You first uncheck the box for Russian in system prefs/language & text/input sources, then put the .keylayout file from the Ukelele set and your own .icns file in Home/Library/Keyboard Layouts. Then logout/login and go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and check the box for the newly added Russian layout.

U.S. English flag symbol fails to load in the menu bar

Upon awaking or starting the iMac, the U.S. English language symbol fails to load on the right side of the menu bar as it should. This means that I cannot select other keyboard languages under that symbol's drop down menu. In fact the spinning color wheel appears on far right side of the menu bar where the day and date are also located. If I move the pointer to the left past this area, the spinning color wheel changes to its normal pointer arrow. I see this oddity several times a week. Does anyone have an idea why this occurs?

Check your flag symbol settings. According to the os Help I found the following:
+"Switching your keyboard to Dvorak layout+
+If you have difficulty using your computer’s standard QWERTY keyboard, you can switch the keyboard to Dvorak layout, which optimizes key layout for typing comfort and ease of use.+
+To use the Dvorak keyboard layout:+
+Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Language & Text, and then click Input Sources.+
+Open Language & Text preferences+
+Scroll down the alphabetical list on the left to select one of the Dvorak options.+
+If you select the Dvorak - Qwerty ⌘ option, the keyboard changes to QWERTY when you hold down the Command key (⌘).+
+Select the “Show Input menu in menu bar” checkbox, which appears below the list.+
+Choose Input menu > [Dvorak option] to switch to the Dvorak layout.+
+The Input menu appears in the upper-right corner of the menu bar at the top of your computer screen. Its icon is usually the flag of the country that corresponds to the input source you have chosen in Language & Text preferences. For example, if you chose U.S., the American flag is the icon for the Input menu. When you switch to a Dvorak keyboard, the icon changes accordingly."+

Yosemite menu bar, input source Greek flag removed. How to get it back?

In the new OS X Yosemite, the menu bar input source country flag has been removed for some countries. The Greek flag got removed, while the disputed "Macedonian" flag is intact. What was the reasoning behind this? This is very offensive to Greek OS X users. Please put back the flag, or post a solution to this asap. It will not go unnoticed.
John

To convey your views to Apple, you need to use
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Apple seems to have been gradually replacing flags with alphabetic symbols wherever possible. Chinese and Japanese have been this way for quite a long time, and in Yosemite I count 30 keyboards (including Greek), nearly half the total, without the flag. This is harder to do for Macedonian, which is one of many countries using the Cyrillic alphabet.
The easiest way to get the Greek flag back would be to download the app Ukelele, which includes copies of the Greek keyboard and the old flag icon, which you can install and use instead of Apple's.

I can also send the keyboard and flag to you if you want if you provide an email.

How to change the flag image in language input in menu bar?

I have two languages that I have selected for regular use in my language input menu (on the right-hand side of the menu bar), and I would like to change the Spanish input flag from the Spain national flag to an Argentina flag, just for aesthetics. I figured it'd kind of be like changing the image of how the HDD looks like on the GUI (control-click, get info, copy and paste image), but I'm not sure where to start or if it's even possible. Anyone have any clues or experience with this? I may just have to make do with keeping the Spanish flag up there but just for curiosity's sake I want to know if it can be done.

There is no problem doing this if you are willing to create and install a custom keyboard layout. You can find the tool and a manual at

How to get the languge flag in the menu bar on OS X Mavericks?

I recently switched from OS 10.5 to 10.9. On my old system, there was a way to get a little flag up in the menu bar that allowed me to switch between input languages easily. That seems to be gone or have changed. Anyone know how I can get it back?

Help with international settings - the menu bar flag is gone!

The flag no longer appears in my menu bar, nor does the "show input menu in the menu bar" check box in the international section of the System Preferences stay checked. I no longer seem able to type in Chinese, which is what I really need to be able to do.
Help? Thanks!

Hi Crimsoncat and welcome to the forums!
Seems your Chinese has been taken away...
(Sorry, just could not resist!)
Now for solving your problem! When did this start happening? Have you tried a bit of maintenance, like:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

I try to change language, but wrong flag keeps coming back on menu bar!

Hi, i've an old G4 quicksilver, I try to change language from original french to italian, but wrong flag keeps coming back in the menu bar... i changed the battery inside (i thought it was that), but no result,
any ideas?
thanks in advance

Hi, try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolbox.<12digitHexNu mber>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist
Reboot & set it up again.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Spry menu bar places vertically, not horizontally?

I followed the tutorial on using the widget browser to download Spry Menu Bar 2.0 and after configuring for a horizontal bar placed the bar in the tutorial index.html. The placement results in a vertical menu bar. What am I doing wrong?

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

Keyboard Viewer does not appear in menu bar input menu...help with 10.4.9

When I click on the flag in my menu bar, I have two options (Show/Hide Input Source Name and Open International Preferences). Is there any way to test the special characters on my keyboard if there is no keyboard viewer or keycaps application? Thanks very much.

Hi.
Go to System Preferences/International/Input Menu and tick On Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer.
Next time you click on the menu bar flag, you'll see "Show Character Palette" and "Show Keyboard Viewer"

Expanding menu bar help

i have search for about 2-3hrs and cant figure out how to create a vertical expanding navigation bar like the one on www.louisvuitton.com on their main page there is a menu box on the right and when you put your mouse over it it expands allowing you to choose you country. i want to make this horizontal, not sure what this is called so i might have been searching for the wrong thing but any help in finding a tutorial would be great thanks

You will lose a lot of Google's ability to map your site unless you submit a special site map to the search engine (see mine under www.aloe-vera.org/public_.xml ).
To submit a sitemap to Google you need a google account (such as Gmail) and then go to: www.google.com/webmasters/tools to submit your sitemap. This will help to balance having a Flash menu.
I would love to see your menu when it is done! Best wishes, David

Menu Bar Items Disappear!!

Sometimes, really most of the time, I restart my computer and log back in the items like Volume, Airport, Battery, Time, even Spotlight seem to turn themselves off. It is never the same ones, and last time I went to turn back on the Bluetooth item inside of System Prefs, and the BUTTON WAS CLICKED TO BE ON! What is the problem here? Is there sometime wrong with my computer or is it a bug everyone seems to have?

Ok. I did all that, still nothing. At first I thought it wasn't specific to iChat because the airport icon had disappeared earlier, but it still wouldn't come up even under a different admin user!
My boyfriend fixed the airport icon when it disappeared earlier. He can't totally remember what he did, but he said that he opened Internet Connect.
As far as I can see, there are no options in iChat preferences whether or not to see the icon on the menu bar. Plus, it just disappeared one day without me changing any settings. Also, now that I think about it, that little American flag that comes up when you have international settings has also disappeared.
I (clearly) have no idea what's going on.
**Addendum: I just looked at iChat prefs again and there is an option to show the icon in the menu bar and it was unchecked! So that problem's solved, although I never unchecked it in the first place (maybe this happened while moving around all those .plists). And the mystery still remains about why the American flag disappeared.

Changing Currency Symbol from the Menu bar to other than €

I use the Costa Rican colon symbol ¢ (in front of number) as a routine value, as well as the U.S. dollar symbol and it seems cumbersome to select the "Inspector" to make these alternate currency symbols (or any alternate to € symbol). Speaking of the Costa Rican colon, it is represented incorrectly anyway and I don't know how to change the symbol.
Also, in the pop-up menu of the "Inspector -- currency" all currency symbols show as € and only when a cell is clicked after selecting a currency symbol, does it appear in the cell (not correct, but at least something other than €.
This is my first hour of "playing with" Numbers. I hope it's not a sign of things to come.

There are many variations to the symbols used for currency worldwide, please, if yours is wrong let Apple know. The feedback option is under Numbers on the menu bar. This is a user to user forum provided by Apple, not run by them.
My symbol on the menu bar is $, which is correct and rather common worldwide, maybe a generic currency symbol is used for smaller areas of the world. I know I have the Australian flag rather than a New Zealand one on my menu bar for the international settings. We are obviously too small to have our own
You can show all currency options in the inspector by changing the Numbers preferences. A quick way of selecting the correct currency in the inspector is to open the list and type the first few letters.
I'd expect your default would be the same as you have set in the System Preferences > International.
You could also make a couple of templates for yourself in both currencies and use them instead.
Numbers is a neat piece of software, keep playing with it and you may well get to like it.
