Dvorak in French

Hi everyone!
I was surfing when I saw an article about Dvorak keyboard layout. I thaught it was interesting, and I looked everywhere to activate it! I found two Dvorak Keyboard layout in my Intl.prefpane, but as the article described it, Dvorak is specific to each country (because of the most typed letters)
So, how can I map my keyboard as a Dvorak French Keyboard?
Thanks!!

Here is a tool you can use to make custom keyboards like you want:

I think there may be one already made here:

Is there a solution to configure the Ipad keyboard in BEPO (french Dvorak) ?

I'm user of BEPO keyboard. It's a french version of the Dvorak keyboard, very useful for people who (like me) use to type a lot and have often tendinitis. There is several thousands of user in the world since 2008 and the number is increasing every day.
This configuration exist for OSX (with an add-on), for Android too, but I'm unable to find it for Ipad. So bad because I would like to use the mini Ipad with external BEPO keyboard.
Do you know if there exist an app to configure Ipad in BEPO ?
Do you know if this keyboard layout will be implemented someday in the Ipad ?

Sorry no, not that I know of.

Dvorak and Chinese

I wonder if anyone can help. I only have the use of one hand when typing. Because of this I learned to touch type with the Dvorak layout for the right hand, which I do very effectively in English.
However now that I have to use Chinese on my mac I have found that when I switch to Chinese I am only able to use the Qwerty layout while using the Chinese input method.
I get round this problem on my PC with XP by using a third party software that allows CJK input with whatever keyboard layout you have selected on the system.
Would anyone know of any system tweak or third party software that would allow me to type in Chinese on a Mac with the Dvorak layout for the right hand.

Thank you for the suggestion, however installing QIM
simply gives me a new way to input chinese with the
qwerty layout.
According to the link I gave you, QIM allows you to select different layouts, which I thought should include the one you want to use. To quote:
"Supports all Roman keyboard layouts, like French, German, etc."
Did you not find this option, or is the statement wrong with regard to Dvorak?
Either way, you might want to ask on the Chinese-Mac mailing list.

Dvorak as the default keyboard

I just bought a new Macbook and I chose the Dvorak layout with the Qwerty-apple key option as my default during the initial setup.
I found that this allowed me to use Dvorak in the password input menus, but then I also saw that some keys didn't translate completely. For example, CommandShift/ should be command question mark for accessing help, but it is recognized as command slash.
The question I'm asking is, is there a way for me to pull up the initial setup program again without reinstalling my system again? (I have alot of data and programs that I don't want to replace.) I don't mind going through the setup disk again as long as I don't have to erase my data.
Thanks

Hi, I have a similar problem. I just replaced my French AZERTY keyboard with a standard English QWERTY keyboard on my iBook, and then I changed my preferences in System Preferences - Personal - International - Input Menu to choose an English keyboard. The result is that the QWERTY keyboard is recognized in all my applications except at startup. It seems that the original French AZERTY keyboard is the default at startup when I enter my password at the user login prompt. After I've logged-in, the keyboard becomes QWERTY. Any suggestions on how to activate QWERTY at startup without re-initializing my system?

Brand New MacB Air and i haven't been able to get passed the format which has had to be done twice because, I have a French Numeric Keyboard and Language in English. The minute I type in my password, the keyboard gives me letters that i did NOT type.

I live in Switzerland and can only buy a Mac Air with a French or German keyboard, no chance to buy an English keyboard Mac here,. When setting up I chose the French numerique keyboard, although there are two choices French or French numerique. I put in my language as English. When all was set up I came to the start page and had to put in my password, by the grace of g....I just happened to see the first letter I typed before it turned into a dot. My password which was supposed to start with the number 2 showed a french e with accent before it quikly became a dot.
Because of the dot system, this meant that I had no clue what the keyboard was typing as my password ...........and true enough my password was not accepted despite my trying all combinations. I have had to reformat twice now thanks to Apple Chat and both times my password was not accepted. I am in the process of formatting it again, this time on my own. If the Start page does not accept my password again this can only mean that the Mac left the factory with faults. I could not be more disappointed with the money spent and the time and trouble that Apple Chat and I have spent in trying to correct a brand new out of the box Mac. I have a cheap Toshiba laptop also with a french keyboard and english language which gave me no trouble at all. I am not impressed with the so called King of computers! First of all the dot system is daft. People want to be able to see and confirm their passwords before they are set for good. Second, this problem is going to give me a lot of grief. Switzerland business is not renowned for its after sales service or the time it takes to do repairs. When I had an issue with my Vaio laptop which was still under warranty, they kindly picked it up from my house, repaired and promptly returned it. How's that for good proper service.

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

How can I turn my French apple account into Australian one to be able to buy a Iphoto book I've made?

hi
How can I turn my french apple account into an Australian one , to be able to buy a Iphoto book I 've created ?

And you need to set the "Print Products Store" in the iPhoto Preferences "Advanced" to the country you are in. The credit card you will be using with your AppleID needs to be valid in the country your AppleID is registered to. Will you be staying permanently in Australia? Maybe it wuld be simpler to create a second AppleID just for the time of your stay there.

Can't change Game Center settings on a french iOS (maybe other languages)

I just spent a fair amount of time with the support concerning a serious bug in Game Center on a French system, I think it is worth sharing.
Summary:
On a french system, one cannot edit game center settings (country, emails, and more importantly, confidentiality — If your profile is public, you can't switch it to private)
Steps to Reproduce:
Setup iOS in french
Go to Game Center
touch the mail address (it has to be already configured)
choose to view account
Try using one of the following actions
change email address
confidentiality
country
Additional note : there is no Save button on the upper right corner
Expected Results:
A view controller should be pushed in the current navigation controller
Actual Results:
The view is simply scrolled to top
Regression:
I think this bug is present since first releases of Game Center
Workaround :
A solution to perform changes is to switch the system to english and when done, switch it back to french.

ITunes in French on my iPod Touch

Does anyone know why iTunes is delivered in French on my new iPod Touch and how I can change to English UK? It is soooooooooo frustrating?

Yes, that is unfortunate!
Simply click settings - the cogs. Labelled regalez or something in french probably.
Then, click generale which is top of the third section in settings with the same picture of cogs.
Next, tap international which is the bottom of the 4th section (in general)
Finally, tap the top where it says francais and when the menu appears click the second one which should read "English".
Alternatively, you could learn french?! lol
Hope this helps, let me know

Can not change from French Keyboard settings to another language

Just installed a user account (french) and for some odd reason every time i change the keyboard input to another language it still switches back or simply keeps on using the french input, even if i totally de-select it from the input list and leave only the language i want to use.
i ran disk utilities to fix permissions, also fixed keychain permissions as well; still the same.
can anyone please advise on what i should do about this to get it working right?

ok i finally got rid of france and the french curse here
Your right to remove the prefs folder,
1-i moved it to the desktop, and noticed when i re-logged in what was in the pref folder,
2-then narrowed it down to the files that where again created automatically in the prefs folder for the keyboard input after i selected another country flag .
3- i then drag and dropped all the files from the previous prefs folder that had the com.apple etc, and i chose to replace what i refered, like for example my DOC prefs, and the rest i did not replace.
everything is now back, this user had so many prefs since OS9 !, wierdo.

Buying or renting movies in French language. How to do it?

I am livingin Montreal so my itunes account is linked to Canada. However, in all the movie store I scrolled, I have not seen any movie in French. How can I downdload French speaking movies ?
What happen to the French subscribrs to ITunes. Do they access only English speaking movies ?

François,
Each movie in the iTunes Store is labeled with its language in the information at the left-hand side. What you see is what is available.
If you wish to provide feedback to Apple, you may use this page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

App store in english, iTunes partially in french on iPhone 4?

I currently have 2 iPhone 4's, an iPad 2, and a MacBook Pro that I sync all my devices from using the same iTunes account. All my account settings are for Canadian English and the App store and iTunes all display properly on 3 of the devices... except on one iPhone 4 the iTunes store is half in english and half in french (The top bar displays in english "New Releases" "Top Tens" etc. the bottom bar displays as "Musique" "Recherche" etc.) The App store on this phone is 100% fine and in English. I have tried resetting all of my language settings and syncing the phone, I've logged out of the itunes account and back in again to no avail. Is my only option at this point restoring the phone in hopes it fixes this annoying issue? This happened after upgrading to iOS5

Hi Carolyn,
Finally went to the Apple store and unfortunately, the only way to fix it was to restore the software.
Make sure you back-up your phone first.
It's a bit of a pain, especially since the ringtones and ebooks did not uploaded back automatically on my iPhone once I restored the software and asked itunes to put everything back on the phone (and I lost 3 apps, thankfully they were free so I just downloaded them again).
But it works!!!
Good luck!
Gwen

Why is it only possible to get French Language Films via iTunes France - I can buy Blu-ray in the Supermarket in multiple language? It makes no sense!

I am English Speaking My wife is Dutch my Children speak 3 Languages. We love AppleTV BUT we can only get films (in general) in Version Originale (French Only) and this makes no sense...
We can go to the local supermarket and buy DVDs and Blu-ray Discs that allow us to watch the up-to-date movies in a range of languages so why not on this AppleTV OTT service?
It makes no sense.
Just because we live in France does not mean we want to watch Hollywood Movies in French?
So much for What you Want-When you want-Wherever you are...

It really does have to do with content permissions. The studios that release the Bluray and DVD versions might not always be the rights bearer to the film, they just bear rights to distribute it on physical media. Most films are made by different companies, then released by Sony, Paramount, and other distribution channels. But in the online realm, different disributors own the rights (and Apple doesn't participate with them or is unable to in some countries). Perhaps Sony distributed films will sell in your local store or be played by a Sony owned TV station locally. But perhaps online Sony doesn't hold that distribution rights to distribute the film online, Warner Brothers or somebody else does. Therefor, they don't allow it online in that market. The licensing is in limbo.
Most American films I buy in China on DVD from Wal Mart, are distributed by a Chinese company and not the original American film studio. Also in USA, the price for a new DVD is about $20 USD, in China it is only $2 USD. So to limit everyone in USA from buying Chinese DVDs at a cheaper price to watch American movies, they put content restrictions on the media (ie. the DVD region codes) so the DVD won't play in an American player.
The same goes for online rights. Your local government, copyright offices and local content license holders do not distribute the movie you want online. They distribute it on physical media or TV broadcast. But they have not secured permission or agreed on what price to sell the movies for online in your market. Apple has no say in this. In fast, the only store Apple controls in the US store. All other local iTunes stores are really virtual stores in place for locals to buy from local distributors.
The Chinese people are in no hurry to download from the US iTunes store because it cost too much. But if the Americans could download from the Chinese iTunes store, they could buy any movie they like for less than $1 and all the money goes to China, and not the US. Hence the restriction.
So copyright holders are just fighting over prices and rights and don't want to or legally can't release it online in your local store.

I have downloaded a French cd on iTunes. It is both speaking and music. It has downloaded fine in iTunes but it will not transfer to either my iPhone or iPad. Could someone advise please?

Or 80 years in router years.
Check the site of the manufacturer and see if there is an update for your router and install it. If there isn't one try restarting your router by pulling the plug on it and plugging it back in.
