How can I change the startup language when I use the internet?

I have the macbook pro that i have just bought in Russia. The reason I bought it here is because I wanted to have both the English and Russian letters on the keyboard. Apart from that I don't care much for the Russian system, since I have always used an American version mac.
Anyway, on to the question. I have English and Russian setup as my two input languages on the computer. I know how to switch between them, and everything is fine. But, I have come across a problem that I never encountered before as all my macs have been purchased in America before this one. Every time I open a new internet window, tab, new program such as skype, it is always the Russian language that is selected, even if I have been using the American keyboard prior to that. It starts getting frustrating, especially when I get used to to typing something, and then without looking continue to type in a different page and look up to see a bunch of Russian letters making no sense.
I hope there is a solution to that, and I won't just have to get annoyed with this for the rest of my relationship with my new macbook pro!

Language Switcher is for changing the language of the menus and dialogues displayed by an app and does not affect the keyboard being used.

  • How can I change my iPad password when I forgot the current password. Now I'm locked out.

    I've changed my iPad password and now I can't remember what I changed it to. I've tried holding the home key down while I plug in the power but the old password is still requested . I have my backup in the in the cloud so once I get a get a valid password I'll be able to do a restore.

    You will need to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

    how can i buy music off itunes when i forgot the answers to my security questions?

    How to reset your Apple ID security questions
    Go to appleid.apple.com and click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email.
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side. Then underneath the security questions click on the link that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions. 
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then you will need assistance from Apple Account Security. Follow this procedure:
    click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later. 
    Next, go to getsupport.apple.com. If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services'.
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.  Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

    How can I change a font recognition, whenever I use 'Palbo Let' it defaults to 'Lucinda Grande'?

    I have a copy of what I did if that's what you mean.  And it's funny because it happened again.  I was just randomly messaging someone and a picture popped up with the Aa key and the color slide on the right edge .  Normally if I hit the pictures my pictures come up small on the bottom of Messenger and then I can send them or do other things.  But when it happened yesterday  I don't know if I hit a combination of keys or how I did it but I did but a large picture came up that I took of Facebook (both times were pics of f/b) and instead of the normal Airdrop, then Facebook, Messenger, Mail, Twitter and the More button  and under that the copy, slideshow, print, etc.  I get the Aa and the color thing.  Can someone be hacking me.  Can it be an error.

  • How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?

    How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities? Seems like there isn't an option to set this up.  Normally you could add/set up this in the airport setup assistant- but that doesn't exsist any longer.
    Thanks for any suggestions 

    How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?
    Unfortunately you can't, since Apple dropped support of the older AirPorts with AirPort Utility 6.x.
    Using some workarounds....not supported by Apple.....you might be able to download and install an older version of AirPort Utility that would allow you to administer the older AirPort.

    You can't. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, because without the previous owner's Apple ID/Password, you will not be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
    Apple can't/won't help you with this.
