How to restore French language at MacBook Pro 17"

During a OS X Lion restauration a problem occure in the start up langage. At the booting the default langage is in English and as it is a MacBook Pro 17" with a french keyboard is very enoying. After the first pasward request then the french langage is effective thanks to set up.
How can I reset the langage to French from the beginning?
Thanks for your help

You can make sure you have the ability to switch keyboards on login by going to system prefs/users and groups/login options and checking the box for Show Input Menu on Login Page.
For changing the login page language, Apple's advice is at

  • How to restore OSX to a Macbook Pro?

    I have a Macbook pro that is not responding. I created a CCC image of the disk and have several TimeMachine backups on external storage, but have not been able to restore from back up. The disk has been erased in several attempts.

    StarGazer31,
    which model MacBook Pro do you have? When you erased its internal disk, did you do so from Recovery mode?

  • How to restore Firmware on New MacBook Pro late 2008?

    Hello, when I migrated contents from my old MBP to the New MBP it also transferred some of the utility software, and I accidentally activated FanControl and that seemed to permanently altered the fan setting of the new MBP.
    How can I reset the firmware of the new MBP, so I can reset the fan temp/speed setting to default? Deleting FanControl utility does not seem to work.
    A quick call to Apple support told me to just re-install the OS, and that sets everything back to the factory state, including the fan speed. Is this true?
    I'm looking for the "Firmware Restoration CD" in the apple site but there is nothing newer after April. I suppose this 1.7 version will not work on ours.

    Hi volume244;
    If Apple told you to reinstall to reset, why do you think we would know better then they do?
    Personally, if it were mine I would take it back to Apple and ask them to fix it.

    How do I restore apps on my MacBook Pro? Such as iphoto. I'm running on OSX 10.6.8

    iPhoto is part of the iLife apps that came bundled with your computer when it was new. You will find the installer on the two software discs that came with your computer when it was new.

    If you are talking about having Thai characters engraved on the physical keys,  you will need to contact some company which does that.  Or find a company that can send you a Thai keyboard to replace the one you have.

    How can I keep synchronized my macbook pro at the office and a traveling macbook air?

    Have you tried doing the sync via Time Machine?
    I thought it would be possible to backup the travelling machine and restore the machine at the office from the new backup.
    I read a warning from Apple that it is not advisable.
    I would be very interested in your opinion.

  • How can I connect an old macbook pro...

    How can I connect an old macbook pro with that does NOT have a Thunderbolt connection to a new 27 inch iMac? I only need to do this for one specific purpose, to be able to see the work I'm doing on the laptop in InDesign on the iMac's larger screen (at a larger size as it were, so I can see a double page spread (or even a whole page would be an improvement) in one go)?  I gather it might be possible to get an adaptor but note that Apple don't seem to sell one. I know I could do this with the cinema screen but would rather do it with a new imac as that will have more use to me overall. It's a work laptop which I don't own so I don't own the Indesign to just be able to use that on an iMac. I have tried to connect monitors to the laptop in the past, but with no success at all.  I hope someone can help . Thank you.

    Im pretty sure you are talking about the M8536 which has an ADC Adapter.
    you will have to daisy chain a thunderbolt to DVI adapter with an DVI to ADC Adapter.
    the first adapter:

    The second adapter is old so you may find used ones on ebay like this:

  • How do i view photos in macbook pro, and while viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?

    1 My questions are about viewing and managing photos from a folder.
    a. How do i view photos in macbook pro - i know the space bar thingy but does not help my purpose?
    b. While viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?
    c. How can i increase the size of the photos that i am seeing in the form of icons?

    double clicking in iPhoto will open the photo.
    The left and right arrow key will move between photos, as well as swiping on a trackpad or Apple mouse.
    See >System Preference>Trackpad or mouse  for options and tut
    While selected or in the smaller icon view hitting the Delete key will delete the pic.
    Command Z will undo the last action taken.
    Periodically you have to empty the iPhoto trash.  iPhoto drop down menu>empty trash
    Same applies for viewing pics in a Folder NOT in iphoto,  Use the up and down arrows does not work in Preview, but as you know in QuickLook (spacebar) the up and down arrows will navigate.
