How do I make my new keyboard work?

Hi there my beautiful Apple Friends! : - )
Just opened a fresh smelling parcel from Apple....BUT now I don´t get it to work the
way I hoped it would....
I have a MacBook 10.6.8 with a swedish keyboard. Now I bought an extra apple one (not
the wireless) with a portuguese set up.Thought that I could just plug it in, install and use it...
and that it would be easy, with the possibility to switch between them....
So my questions are - how do I get the portuguese set up to work? And can I later just
switch between them?
Do I need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7? And can I do that, my mac is kind of old,
like 5 years....
Thanks for any info!!

System Preferences/Keyboard/Input Sources - add the new one and there is an option to display Input menu in the menu bar, which should allow you to switch.
Computer Compatibility - Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.

Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space

  • How can I make the wireless keyboard work

    MMy wireless keyboard was working when I purchased it it at the end of dec. now it's not working.

    Please post more details.
    Is your keyboard an Apple keyboard.   Did you buy it new.   Was it in its original packing.   Where did you buy it from? 
    Have you recently put in new batteries.   What brand are they?

  • I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S.  I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds.  After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?"  I didn't even know such a function existed.  Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
    To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual.  If it is green, turn it off.  You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
    This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu).  I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
    I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere.  Good luck!

  • How do i make a new private account?

    I have my hp Pavilion dieng on me, and its my primary laptop. In August I got a brand new iMac, and now I am thinking of getting the iMac ready, so when my Hp dies, I can move over to the iMac untill dad gets enough $$ to buy a macbook pro.
    I currently have the one account on the iMac and was wondering How do I make a new account? An account where the other people on the main account cant see my stuff. And is it possible for programs to only be installed on that one account? Like, install a Instant messager on my account. But when I go to the Main account, the IM program will not be there?

    System Preferences -> Accounts -> unlock the padlock -> click the + button at the bottom. All accounts that are for regular use should be non-admin accounts. Have one admin account that is used for admin related tasks only.
    To install one application so that it is for one user only, you can try to install it in that user's home holder. Depending on the application, it might not work, though. In any case, you can limit users' access to applications by using Parental Controls.

  • How do i make a new file created appear in the Application Navigator?

    I am doing an extension to JDeveloper..How do i make the new file that the user has created to appear in the Application Navigator?
    What methods can i use?
    These are my codes...but it does not work still...
    File file = new File(dir ,fileName);
    file.createNewFile();
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file, false );
    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter( fw, true );
    Workspace workspace = ctx.getWorkspace();
    java.net.URL projectURL = workspace.getActiveProjectURL();
    URL url = file.toURL();
    Node node = new Node(url);
    jpr.add(node, true);
    node.open();
    NavigatorManager.getWorkspaceNavigatorManager().openNavigator(ctx);
    ProjectNavigatorManager.getApplicationNavigatorManager().openNavigator(ctx);
    EditorManager.getEditorManager().openDefaultEditorInFrame(node.getURL());

    If it's an IMAP type account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that you currently have on your email account. If it's a POP type account then you won't get the Edit button, and you are limited to your existing folders

  • My old computer crashed, how do I make my new computer my main Itunes account? It's still looking for the other when I need to back up my other apple devices.

    My old computer crashed and my itunes is on a new computer, but my I Pad and other devices keep waiting for me to hook up the old laptop for updates. How do I make my new laptop (windows) my primary I Tunes acct.?

    It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod.  iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library

  • How do I make my new gmail email address the default when I click on "Contact us" in a site in Firefox? Thanks.

    When I click on a website's "contact us" button while in Firefox, I get my old email address in my old email provider, which means that new emails in the old inbox have to be loaded first , taking a lot of time. I want to keep my old email provider for the time being as not everyone has my new addy and the old forwards to the new addy. I have Micresoft XP. How do I make my new address the default?

  • How can I make a new genius mix? Apple has made two automatically, but I would like one based on other genres within my iTunes library. I have tried updating my genius mixes to no avail.

    How can I make a new genius mix? I do not want to make a genius playlist. Genius has already created two mixes but I would like another based on other genres within my extensive music library. I have tried updating Genius from Store>Update Genius but to no avail. Thank you!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.
