Disc Utility Uses The Wrong Language

I just bought Macbook from someone who spoke Spanish, and they had the language set to Spanish.
I changed the language to English under the "language and region," setting in system preferences, and Mac Os seems to be all in English.
However, when I restart the computer and enter disc utility, the language is still in Spanish, and I can't figure out how to change it.
In the upper right hand corner there is a US flag that says, "Estadounidense", but I don't know if it this is a country or language setting.
Anyone know how I can change Disc Utility to English?
Thanks.

It is the setting for the keyboard layout.  It should say US when the OS is running in English.
Have you removed Spanish from the language list in system prefs/language & region and restarted?

  • I am using the wrong language to access a secure website. How can I change it to English?

    I am trying to access my university account from a computer in Germany and while I can access some features, such as e-mail, it is not allowing me access to my secure faculty account. The message I am getting is that I am using the wrong language, i.e. German, to access my account. How can I change the language to English, since the computer automatically uses German.

    Put the link of the website into Google translate at [http://translate.google.com/#de|en|], then click the translate button. You will then get a link on the right hand side of the page which will take you to a translated version of the page.

  • Anyone clean their mac using the disk utility using the repair disk permissions??

    anyone clean their mac using the disk utility using the repair disk permissions??

    No. Threads don't hurt anything. If your computer is not functioning properly perhaps you need to try some basic maintenance. Let's start by having you do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Next, try booting into Safe Mode then immediately restart normally. Safe mode is going to take a while so be patient. It's slow.
    Next, create a new user account. Log out of your account then log into the new account. Try using iPhoto and the publishing button. Do they work now?
    If you still have a problem, then do the following. If you don't want to go through the above then just start with the following and forget the others above.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • HT1824 Since I accidentally clicked on the wrong language, I don't know what my IPOD Nano is telling me to do/not to do.  I'm hitting the home button and nothing is happening.

    Hello,
    Bought a Nano today and trying to set it up.  Selected the wrong language.  I am not sure if I'm getting the "eject before disconnecting message" and I'm not sure what to do next!

    Scroll up one menu item. This should be Settings.
    Press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
    Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.

    Select your preferred language from the list.
    Have a nice day,

  • I used the wrong password for my belkin wifi. Now that I know the correct password I can not get pass the unable to connect or join message. I have turned off all the options such as wifi and join and also put my touch to sleep.. but nothing seems to work

    I used the wrong password to join my new belkin wifi. Now that I have the correct password, I can not get the to the join screen with the space to type in the password. I continue to get the unable to join message.  I have put the touch to sleep and I have turned on and off the wifi and join options on the Network screen page.  Does anyone know how to get pass this block of the wrong password to a new page that will allow me to type in the correct password.  I see there is a option that asks if I want to reset the network settings.. is that what I should do? and what does it erase when I do that?  Thanks for any input anyone has.

    Yes.  Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.

  • I accidently bought a book in the wrong language, swedish, I dont speak swedish. How can I change it to English?

    I accidently bought a book in the wrong language, swedish, I dont speak swedish. How can I change it to English?

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
    and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
    and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes, which it is currently doing for me) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption.

  • I used the wrong email account when setting up ios8 iCloud drive, how can I change it on my iphone5?

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

  • Why is the wrong language appearing in various iCloud communications?

    I get emails from iTunes, first welcoming me to iTunes and more annoyingly the notification of a shared photostream are in the wrong language. It's not a big deal with a regular emails, I can ignore them. But the notification of the shared photossteam from the iPad is not good. My friend replied he didn't understand Korean. :-)
    This has been ongoing and few people have complained, I found it amusing until I tried to share a Photo Stream.
    I checked all of my devices, everything is set to the US. The address and credit card is a US address. I signed out of everything, I really mean every instance of my Apple ID on every device was signed out. I powered all of them off and signed back in to just the iPad sent an invitation to myself and what resulted was the screen shot I attached.
    Now, if there are no suggestions, (I'm doubt there will be), how do I inform Apple of this problem?
    Thanks,
    RS
