CS3 Language Keyboard Input Error

Greetings All,
I have been trouble-shooting this problem for a while, but still it is not resolved. Any help or ideas would be gladly received!
Background: We have a correctly functioning installation of Win XP, and PS CS3 Extended which appears to work normally in every other regard. No obvious errors; no crashes, no start-up complaints; nothing seemingly out of order. I use several installed languages in Windows (EngUK, Russian, Swedish, etc). All of these work normally. All of my installed fonts work correctly in every application on the system except for CS3.
There would appear to be something wrong with CS3's keyboard mapping in foreign languages. When typing with a non-English keyboard setting (any other language) and using TrueType fonts (not Open), only 'missing character' boxes appear in the artwork. The Layers menu displays the typed text correctly, but this will not appear in the artwork. If I use an old install of PS7, I can type using these same fonts correctly in any language. These layers can be imported into CS3, and these WILL display correctly on the artwork. However, the Layers menu in this case displays nonsensical characters. Ergo, I suspect that CS3's keyboard input data is errant.
Where does PS3 keep its information regarding language / keyboard layout? It is possible to edit this file(s)? Are there any other ideas regarding this problem and what might be wrong?
Thanks

Keyboard input error

hello all,
I'm having difficulty with my keyboard input.
d types out d=.
f types out 0
k types out k1
l types out l2=
; types out ;/3
delete works mostly, but sometimes types an f
caps lock also comes on by itself and also acts as return
I checked the language settings and they are all fine.
I checked SMART diagnostics, Repair Disk, Repair Disk Permissions and performed a cache cleaning.
I just updated to 10.4.9. Was running 10.4.7 and every time I tried to update the verification failed or an error was found. After running the diagnostics the update downloaded and installed successfully.
Is this something that might be able to be fixed? Or is getting a new keyboard the only option?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I would certainly try another keyboard if at all possible -- could save you lots of time trying to find a potentially non-existent software issue.

Keyboard input errors

I have lost all reliable keyboard input to my G4 powerbook running on OSX 10.4. I have been able to run Tech Tool, Disk Repair and Repair Permissions. I don't have another users account and without the necessary input, I cannot sign-in as another user.
In all areas where text can be typed in, Text Edit, Apple Works, Authentication etc., if I get anything it is not close to the keystroke.
I show over 37gb available on a 80gb hard drive.

Hi, Melvin. If your keyboard is typing a lot of numerals instead of letters, press the Num Lock key (F6) to turn off Num Lock.
If that's not the problem, connect a USB keyboard to the Powerbook and see whether it misbehaves in the same way. If it does, there's a software glitch behind the problem. To confirm that, boot to a CD or DVD. If the problem disappears, software on your hard drive is definitely at fault. In that case, while booted to the CD, run the Repair Disk and Repair Permissions functions of Disk Utility to square things away on the internal HD. Failing that, an Archive and Install of OS X should put things right.
If a USB keyboard behaves properly when connected, your built-in keyboard or its connection to the main logic board has gone bad. To determine which it is, release the keyboard, flip it over onto your Tibook's wrist rests, and gently disconnect its ribbon cable from the logic board, then reconnect it. Put the keyboard back and test again. If the problem persists, replace the keyboard.

HT5140 I did put another language in input source, and keyboard shortcut, but when I close this window, after opening the mail window, where do I see different language to click on?

You switch keyboards by going to the " flag" menu at the top right of the screen.

Keyboard Input Locale Error

Using Flex 3.0, targeting fp10, I'm building a rich text
editing component. Most of the keyboard input works just fine but
there is one bug.
I have a UK keyboard (and my Win Vista system language is
en-GB). When I enter text in my Flex component, however, " and @
are transposed, meaning the input works as if my keyboard were a
standard en-US. Is there a workaround for this? I don't want to
just swap the characters because our app may have users from a
number of different locales.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Keyboard input changed to wrong language

I'm using a dual g5 desktop running tiger 10.4.4. This morning all keyboard input is in the wrong language. It's greek or one of the symbol fonts. According to the setings in the international panel everything should be set to US English, roman script. I know that CMD+space used to toggle between input choices but that now brings up Spotlight. Is another key combination that toggles the languages? Other settings to check? It's interesting that the input menu tab of the international pane still says use CMD+space to toggle inputs, but that no longer works.
Help? thanks

According to the setings in the international panel
everything should be set to US English, roman
script.
The setting that matters is system preferences/international/input menu (not languages). Also make sure you have the box checked for "show input menu in finder," so you can see what keyboard layout is active in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder.

HttpServer error in reading buffer size via keyboard input - HELP

I've written a simple HttpServer program that reads keyboard input to construct a buffer to copy the requested file into the socket's output stream. I've done the string-to-integer conversion using BufferedReader and parse.Int. However, when I go to use the int later in the program, I keep getting the message "variable b may not have been initialized." Can anyone tell me what's missing from the code below? Thanks.
private static void sendBytes(FileInputStream fis, OutputStream os)throws Exception
     //Construct a buffer via console input
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
     String str;
     int b;
          System.out.println("Enter desired buffer size or CTRL-C to break.");
     //Convert entry to an integer
     do
          str = br.readLine();
             try
               b = Integer.parseInt(str);
          catch(NumberFormatException e)
               System.out.println("Invalid entry.");
     while((str=br.readLine())!=null);
     //Construct a buffer
     byte[] buffer = new byte;
     int bytes = 0;
     //Begin timing HTML page delivery
     long start, end;
          System.out.println("Timing for Web page delivery");
     start = System.currentTimeMillis();
     //Copy requested file into the socket's output stream
          while((bytes = fis.read(buffer)) != -1)
          os.write(buffer, 0, bytes);

As the message suggests, what is missing is code to initialize the variable b. The first mention ("int b;") does not initialize it. The second mention ("b = Integer.parseInt(str);") only initializes it if no exception is thrown. So it's possible for b to be uninitialized when you actually try to use it.
What do you need to change? First you need to decide what's to be done if the keyboard input isn't a valid integer. Do you have a default value in mind? If so, put that where you declare the variable ("int b = 42;"). If not, just initialize the variable to zero ("int b = 0;").

BlackBerry Storm2 - Japanese Text Input Error

Hi all,
I have to respond to emails on a regular basis in Japanese, and on my Storm2, I get an error when switching input languages. I get "Input system error. System is being restarted." and then I don't have a keyboard for a few minutes. I can pull the battery, but the next time I switch, the error is back. I've done a complete device wipe, reinstalled the OS, and tried 2 Verizon supported OS versions. Any ideas? I might switch back to my Tour just to get things done!

We saw your solution solved on the Blackberry Website:
Just passing the solution on for others who may have this similar issue.
Do this to turn off the Predictive Input option:
On the BlackBerry smartphone, go to Options> Language.
Below the Input Style setting, click the Show Text Input Options
Deselect the check mark for Predictive Input.

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?

[Solved] xorg server & keyboard conf error messages after upgrade

I ran my daily upgrade (today was big, from FF to the kernel to xorg) and I was not able to login on GDM afterwards.
It's weird. The X server will start, and so will the GDM login screen. But entering the password will result in a GDM crash (I later found out that KDM and SLIM have the same issue; KDM not starting and SLIM refusing the keyboard input). So after starting an alternate console and trying to start x (startx), I have this error message:
"Th e XKEYBOARDMAP keymap compiler (xbcomp) reports:
Error: Cannot close "/tmp/server-0.xkm" properly (not enough space?)
Output file "/tmp/server-0.xkm" removed
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.
Fatal server error:
Failed to activate core devices "
I have been fiddling with the keyboard config on xorg.conf but I'm not sure I'm getting anywhere. Also, I downgraded the xorg-server and xkeyboard config packages just to be sure.
Any clue?
Thanks!

Well... seems I didn't have any answer on this. I fiddled a bit more but I have to say that I really came to wits' end at this stage. A couple of observations though:
* I don't really understand this notion of a keyboard issue. My keyboard and its layout work properly but I will not be able to login regardless of login through GDM, KDM or Slim. Yet it's worth noting that in the case of GDM and SLIM the X server starts; I see the graphical interface, I click, etc. but when I type the trouble starts.
* I tried to check my xsessions-errors file. The file is really big under a frame buffer, and it wasn't clear to me, but I found strange that the log was reporting all sorts of attempts to start KDE. I don't exactly know what's going on.
If anybody has any clue, let me know... It's becoming very frustrating.
Thanks!

Keyboard Input OS X 10.9

A student changed the MacBook keyboard input to a foreign country keyboard. It is changed at the log in screen too. I can't figure out how to change it back. I can use an external keyboard and log on and type and I have no problems. I just can't use the keyboard on the laptop. This MacBook is using OS X 10.9.

Hey Sweet 1971,
Well let’s see if we can get the keyboard back to what you need. If you can log in to the account, go to System Preferences > Keyboard and go to the Input Sources tab and remove any keyboard that you do not want and you should be good to go. I have also provided an article on how to change the keyboard layout at the log in window and it talks about OS X Lion but will be the same for OS X Yosemite.

Solaris 10 8/07 Install hangs awaiting keyboard input

I have a W2100z Java Workstation that I am trying to install S10 8/07 on. When it first powers up, I get the standard bios prompts and can hit F2/F8 to customize things as I wish.
However, when I start the Solaris install from CD, after the OS installer is loaded, it first prompts for 1, 2, 3, 4, ... choices (1 being an interactive install). No amount of keyboard punching seemed to get it to make a choice. So after about 30 seconds or so, it times out and presumes interactive install.
After a bit, it loads a text-based window to let me choose a language. Just move the cursor around, select a language, and then hit F2 to continue. Unfortunately, it does not recognize any keyboard input and just sits there comatose for as long as I choose to wait.
So, perhaps I have a keyboard issue, so I swapped out a Kensington for a Dell keyboard. That didn't work so I acquired a Sun keyboard. That doesn't work either. I've also plugged the keyboard into every USB slot I could find (two on the front and 3 on the back), all to no avail.
Now, Solaris 11 from the SXDE has no problem booting and installing on this computer with all of those keyboards. Unfortunately, that is academic in that I need to run S10.
So what is the magic to getting the W2100z to boot/install Solaris 10?

After much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, I found an BIOS upgrade for the W2100z. The keyboard now is recognized and the bits are installing.

[Solved] Programs hang on keyboard input (uim-xim)

Update: I've narrowed the issue down (via trial and error) to uim-xim. If it's running, it causes this problem (in XMonad) and if it isn't, gnucash has no issues. Oddly enough, when I start uim-xim by hand after gnucash, it works fine too. Starting uim-xim by hand before gnucash results in the same issue, and so I'm inclined to believe it's either an issue with XIM implementation, or simply uim-xim. Might also be a mixture of XMonad and uim-xim, as it works fine in Openbox.
I've noticed lately that certain GTK programs (I'd list them, but I haven't paid close attention until today, where I was using gnucash) work fine until I try to input anything via the keyboard. The moment I start typing (or, at the latest when I hit the shift key or backspace key) the program will hang (without any error message). I originally assumed that this was an issue with the program - not my window manager. However, I tried one of the problem programs (gnucash) in Openbox today, and it works just fine. That leads me to assume it's caused by my configuration in some way. I have absolutely no idea where to start debugging this issue.
A bit of information:
I use UIM (in both openbox and XMonad with identical configurations), run a script for a Japanese date format in XMonad (piped to dzen), and load the same xmodmap file in both window managers. Also, I start all my window managers using CDM (Console Display Manager), but in the case of XMonad I supply a bash script instead of the binary, in order to preload certain files. Also, I use a german keyboard layout.

International keyboard input

This is not really a problem, just wierd.
I have my computer set up for multiple languages for keyboard input. This works great for the most part, but occaisonally changes input langauge randomly.
I have only been using the standard American English method for some time, but it has recently switched to French, and U.S. Extended. This use to happen before when I switched back and forth. Sometimes an application would be using a different language than the O.S. Sometimes it would switch into Greeek, which I use very rarely.
On my last reboot, I found with a French Keyboard.
Is there any reason for this? Does this make any sense?

I need to use Bulgarian language. Whether be supported Bulgarian language in the future.
