How to switch from Japanese keyboard

Is there any way to reprogram a MacBook with a Japanese keyboard to English chacters?

In System Preferences>Keyboard check the box for Show Keyboard And Character Viewer In Menu Bar. Then then go the box that will appear on the Menu Bar between the sound and the battery. Select Show Keyboard Viewer. This will show you your keyboard. If you press the Shift key it will show you what letters will type when you type with the shift key. Same with the Option key.
Or you could open Text Edit and type each row of the keys and see what comes up.

    How to switch from one Data base to another data base if first data base server like in restoring,blocking,network disconnected state.

    Sounds like a problem for forums/support from the DB provider, as this problem is normally solved through some form of HA provided by the DB (or some cluster software, but still not Java) with, normally, a shared (virtual) IP address.

  • How to switch from text message to iMessage for 1 contact

    I have one friend with an iPhone who all of the sudden in my messaging has switched from iMessage to text messages with working WiFi on and stable, on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2).  This is not a cellular or wifi issues, I guarantee, I am iMessaging other people without problem. She is also iMessaging other people without problem.
    I have tried all work arounds I've seen on the web including:
    -turning iMessage on and off, turning the phone on and off
    -deleting all conversation with her and then sending a new message
    -labeling the contact as an "iPhone" on my iPad (doesn't seem to switch label to  "iPhone" and "iPhone" is no longer available as a label on iPhone)
    -sending an iMessage on my iPad to her and then trying to use same message stream on the iPhone
    This is beyond ridiculous that there is no way to switch from text to iMessage, I know how to switch from iMessage to text when the "error" comes up that it can't be sent as in iMessage.  Any ideas?

    You didn't mention trying these two steps:
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    ... which are listed as steps 4 and 5 near the middle of this article:

  • Switching to Japanese keyboard.

    Hi, I am wanting to know if there is an easier way to switch between English and Japanese on the Xperia Z3 keyboard. I have selected the Xperia Japanese Keyboard and have the Xperia keyboard as my default one. I have also tried going through the "writing languages" section but Japanese is not available here.
    At the moment I am having to pull down the notifications bar and switch languages everytime I type which gets extremely time consuming and annoying, especially since I have just switched from an iPhone.
    I have also tried using the Wnn Keyboard Lab app but I don't like it compared to the Xperia Keyboard.
    Is there an easier way of doing this? I know that previously you just had the world icon next to the spacebar that allowed you to easily change between languages. Cheers!

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Since Japanese is not included in the international keyboard as a writing language, you need to change the input method. And this can only be done by pulling down the notification field and choose another input method.

  • HT2589 How to switch from one store to a different one?

    I can't update the apps. There is a message saying that I need to switch from Philipines Store to the US Store.  This is the first time I have this message. I don't know how to change the stores. I have my account in US and I have always purchased from the US Store. I got the same message when I tried to download a new app. What should I do?

    Does your address and payment information on iTunes use a US address?
    iTunes Store > Sign In, and view your account.
    As I say if your address and payment information are US addresses then this is very odd. In that case contact iTunes Store Support and have them fix this.
    Start here:

  • How to switch from Bonjour to iMessage

    My iChat has changed from message to Bonjour.  I don't use Bonjour and I don't know how to change it back to message.  Please help. Steven

    your response doesn't help the overall problem. For anyone with no data plan and only using wifi like mel_222 and myself, the iphone will not be able to send a message to these people who the phone has recognized as having ios5 unless the phone has a wifi connection because it is an imesssage. I am having the same problem, hopefully someone will know how to switch it. Hopefully this clarifies for anyone who might be able to answer. Luckily I will have a data plan kick in in a week, but I am sure some people who buy the phone outright will be faced with this issue.

  • How to switch from Picasa to Aperture?

    Picasa for Mac does not perform too well with a large photo collection and I would like to try Aperture.
    How do I transfer my albums and starred images to Aperture?
    I have put hundreds of hours of work into my Picasa collection and don't want to loose it when moving to Aperture.

    Since this question has been sitting around for a full day without answer, I think I'll add my grain of salt, even if I do not use Picasa
    Here is a link you may find useful: Snow Leopard, Aperture 3, & Picasa Question?? Help!!! - Picasa Help
    Aperture does not support importing Picasa databases, only folders or iPhoto Libraries.
    So to import your Picasa Albums you will
    either have to export them to folders on your hard drive (perhaps separate folders for separate star tags) and import those to Aperture,
    or to make a detour to iPhoto: In iPhoto you can subscribe to a Photo Feed and so you could try to build an iPhoto Library by downloading your Picasa albums from a Photo Feed (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/07/24/ilife-101-switch-from-picasa-to-iphoto/). Once you have your Picasa albums in iPhoto you can import the iPhoto Library into Aperture.
    But whatever you will do to make the transition, be sure to create a working backup of your setup before you start. Importing to iPhoto or Aperture will create duplicates of your images, and since Picasa just references all images on your system and keeps scanning your system for new images, these duplicates may corrupt your Picasa albums.
    Good luck
