Gnome US Keyboard always appearing
Hi,
Since last upgrde to Gnome 2.28 (x86_64 version), I've been having problems with my macbook keyboard under Gnome. when I get into the keyboard settings an US layout appears, which I never set, so I delete it again to leave the spanish keyboard alone again.
When I restart the computer, the US keyboard appears again.
Is this a bug? Or Have I misconfigured something?
Here's my xorg.con keyboard section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "es"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch,apple:badmap"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
Option "XkbVariant" "mac"
EndSection
Have anyone else met this problem?
Try the following:
cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi
Then edit the "input.xkb.layout" key like this:
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">es</merge>
You can also run the setxkbmap command:
setxkbmap es
And then add it to .xinitrc on your home folder.

I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this الس but they always appear like that ا ل س
MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. You have to use other apps. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
Sometimes you can make Word for Mac do connected Arabic if you are editing a document created with Windows Word. -
New keyboard layout appeared after update - how to remove it?
Hello community,
I'm using two keyboard layouts RU and DE and switching them with Ctrl+Shift. After a recent update a third keyboard layout appeared - US. I checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf, /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi and /etc/rc.conf but in all of them there is no US layout. Setting everything there up for the DE and RU layout didn't help, still the US layout is in the layouts list in Gnome. If I remove it from that list, it appears after the next reboot. So how can I go rid of it?
Here are the config files:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

Thanks, PhotonXThanks for your input, guys, I think, this issue has been already reported (quite a long time ago) which is even the top entry of the most wanted tasks: http://bugs.archlinux.org/toplevel/proj1 So the only thing we can do is to follow the comments and to hope for a fix.

Black keyboard randomly appearing, sometimes displaying my login passcode
iPad 3, iOS 8.1.1 (12B435).
As the title says. A black keyboard randomly appears, sometimes displaying my login passcode as four digits at the top left of the superimposed keyboard. It happens any time, during any task (usually not entering text where the keyboard is required). I always use a quality bluetooth keyboard and only occasionally use the screen keyboard for selecting eMoji characters. This is achieved by hitting the relevant bluetooth keyboard button to call up the screen keyboard.
It's difficult to make the black random keyboard disappear. The usual keyboard-call button doesn't do it, nor mostly does pressing the home button. When I hit the home button, it works as it should, but the black keyboard stays on top and then half-covers the app icons. See two of the screenshots below, one which shows the (now-blanked-out)four-digit code enclosed in quotes.
I'm pretty concerned this is a security issue (and I'm far from being a paranoid person), especially since my login code (which I've changed) appeared for all to see.
Any ideas? Thanks. :-)

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?
If you make a call then tap the Facetime button to connect Facetime, the duration of call up to Facetime connection will be charged under your regular airtime. However, duration during facetime conversation will not consume airtime.
But if you tap the Facetime button on the Contact Page, then the whole duration will not consume airtime.
For Facetime to work, both parties must be connected to wifi. -
The time under the received column doesn't always appear. If I click on the message, it shows but then goes away. It's very inconsistent. Repairing permissions and restarting doesn't change the behavior.
I'm guessing you did not carefully read your owners manual, did you? Unless you are not going to be using your computer for several days at a time there is no reason to shut it down. Your manual states:
_Putting Your MacBook Pro to Sleep_
*If you’ll be away from your MacBook Pro for only a short time, put it to sleep. When the computer is in sleep, you can quickly wake it and bypass the startup process.*
AND
_Shutting Down Your MacBook Pro_
*If you aren’t going to use your MacBook Pro for a couple of days or longer, it’s best to shut it down.* -
When sending a single page PDF file in mail, it always appears as an open file in the message body. Multiple page PDF files appear as attachments. Why the difference and how to change the behavior of single page PDF files so that they appear as attachments instead of open files?
Hello billsbs,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you add a PDF to mail you see its entire contents, but when you add two or more pages Mail shows them as a document icon. To change this behavior for that specific email, please follow the instructions in the attached article.

On my new iPhone, at the Apps store, I tried to make a purchase, the popup screen shows my Apple ID and asks for my password, but no keyboard appears so that I can enter the password. How do I get the keyboard to appear??
On your iPad, delete the existing account then sign back in with the new ID and password.

How do you get the keyboard to appear if it doesn't do so automatically?
When I am using the iPad, the keyboard automatically appears when I put my finger on a text box. However, after the latest iOS upgrade, this stops working occasionally, and I don't know how to get the keyboard back. Then, when I attempt to put text in, all I get is an option to '"paste." Any clues as to what's going on?
- Connect the iPod to the computer and try to restore the iPod via iTunes
- If iTunes did not see the iPod see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will all a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Then, lett the battery fully drain. Charge for a couple of hours and try again.
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You likely have a hardware probme. Maybe a dead battery. -
I have followed the Apple Support instructions but these 2 errors always appear: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and 'Error 7' but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?
Try completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components; you may need to do this multiple times. It won't normally affect the iTunes library, but that should be backed up anyway.

A previous and unrelated text always appears when I need to send a new text. This prevens forwarding texts also, which I need to do all the time for my businss. How can I fix? Please help?
Hi,
This sounds like it is about Window positions.
iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
Video is always top Center of your Screen
Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

Mappings in snapshots always appear changed
When I compare snapshots with a project in the Design Repository the mappings properties always appear changed in the comparison even if nothing was changed.
For example, I created a simple project with one source table and a target table and mapping. It is just a straight mapping from source to target.
I am able to deploy the objects and execute the mapping without any problems. However, when a create a snapshot of the project and then compare the snapshot with the project, the properties of the operators (in this case the source and target tables) within the mappings always appear as a changed object.
It seems that the snapshot is incomplete.
Am I doing something wrong when I create the mapping or snapshot? How can I make the snapshot identical to the mappings in the repository?
Thanks.Brian,
Good catch. Reproduced it in the current production release and filed bug 3187011 accordingly. Unfortunately, I cannot give you a workaround...
Thanks,
Mark. -

Menu bar not always appearing (dropping down) in Safari
Hello everyone,
I was just wandering if someone could help me out with this small problem - or perhaps its a bug others have experienced. Basically, since upgrading to Mavericks I have this annoying problem whereby when I drag my cursor to the top of the page in safari, the menu doesnt always appear (not the safari menu but the system one that drop down with the time etc). As I said, it doesnt always happen and when it does I can normally fix it by briefly changing apps - its just rather annoying!
Any help would be much appreciated.Is it possible you didn't install the correct RAM.
