HT204350 U.S. vs. Canadian English keyboard

I'm just setting up my new Macbook Pro and I'm supposed to choose between a U.S. and an English Canadian keyboard layout. Does anybody know what the difference is?

I don't see a English Canadian keyboard listed here, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2841, but I would assume it might have the symbols on the keys like the English International, or it might have some of the French diacritical forms more easily accessable.

  • Canadian English on iOS?

    I've been using the iPhone 4 and iPad, and as the president of an editorial company and a Canadian journalist sworn to CP Style, I have to say the lack of a Canadian English keyboard setting on iOS is driving us insane up here. Sure, we can go with English (UK) and get most of our superfluous 'U's, but no 'Z's in prioritize or apologize. Or we can go with English (US) and quash a couple Britishisms, but still no 'S' in the defense or practising verbs.
    There's a perfectly good Canuck English dictionary on OS X. Why has this not been ported over to iOS? Can we (please) expect this to happen with iOS 5? Even if it's something we have to go online and add to our devices manually, the five minutes of hassle up-front would curb a lot of aggression afterwards. Especially with iCloud syncing iWorks documents – will that mean every "Canadian English" Pages document will default to US or UK English as soon as you make a couple edits on your iPad?
    Being that I spend the other half of my life in Argentina where they've got a Spanish dialect entirely their own (with its own name and everything: Rioplatanese), I could open up an entirely different can of worms on that, too. But I'll leave it here for now.
    Thanks, eh.

    I agree this is an inexplicable omission. I'm stuck between choosing auto-correct mangling my U's with the US keyboard or mangling my Z's with the UK. Considering there are +20 million English Canadians, and it would likely take one Apple engineer all of an afternoon to fix this considering the dictionary exists in OSX, how has it lingered this long???

  • Why am I unable to type any character with English Keyboard in iOS 6?

    Canadian English Keyboard, Chinese Keyboard, all work well, but I cannot even type a symobol, or anything else with the U.S. English keyboard. I tried to change the layout, but didn't solve this.

    It's not actually the routers that is causing the "cap" you are talking about.
    The fact you are making interventions into the broadband line, is causing the dslam to see signal interuptions.
    The dslam runs line management and if it sees successive interventions, sees it as line "flapping" ....
    with a reduction in line IP profile and associated throughput. Your netgear router if set up properly as Del
    described, will admirably handle the broadband and probably better than the hub. Once connected and stabilised,
    a continuous 3 day period of stability will see the line profile go back up on its own.
    The netgear actually has some benefits over the hub, but also some shortfalls, but from a broadband throughput
    perspective, the choice is sound.  

  • How to order a Macbook Pro with international English keyboard in the USA?

    Does anybody know how can I order on the US Apple Online Store a new (2011) Macbook Pro with international English keyboard?

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Call the online store & ask! A sales representative will more than happy supply you with an answer.

    No. The US store does not provide anything but US or Spanish (I think) keyboards. You have to order from the UK store to get an English keyboard.
    The current options available online are U.S. English, Western Spanish, French or Japanese keyboards. You might try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE to speak to someone. It's possible you might be able to get something else as a BTO option.

  • Where can I buy a Macbook pro retina display with english keyboard in bangkok

    Hi,
    I am currently in Bangkok right now. I wanted to buy the new Macbook Pro with retina display. I went to Power Buy in Central world and found out that the keyboard for the macs have thai characters as well as English ones. I wanted to buy a mac with plain English keyboard. The guy in the store said that is only possible if I buy online.
    Is there anywhere or any store in Bangkok where I could get the new macbook pro with an english keyboard? Thanks.

    Since nobody in this forum represents Apple or any store, you will probably get better info on this by directly contacting stores yourself.

  • Macbook bought in France with a international english keyboard problem

    Hi,
    My friend bought a macbook for france apple online store, he choosed a international english keyboard layout, but when he got it, he found that the keyboard is neither english laybout nor french layout, because there is not any configurations that matches his physical keyboard buttons.
    The A - Z buttons is as the US keyboard, but the ;'~`[](){}/?! etc. are not correct, that means when u choose the US layout from the system preference->international, the A - Z work, but the ;'~`[](){}/?! are not at where u see them, when u choose FR layout, A - Z are not correct, british english doesn't work, too.
    I have tried all the english countries and french countries, but no one works with 100% of the buttons.
    Can Apple give me a solution to the problem? or if the macbook that he got is not well assembled?

    Yes… I would at a minimum contact Apple sales or AppleCare regarding this. You have two options though. You can ask for a new one, given they can't simply swap out a keybaord you need to exchange the whole thing.
    Otherwise, you can use it as a bargaining chip and say ask for a free external International English keyboard and a discount on your next Apple Store purchase… for instance.
    Regardless, be polite yet firm with them as you did not get what you ordered.

  • History back on non-english keyboards

    It appears that all non-english keyboards (meaning keyboards that does not have the [ and ] characters as a "singlepress-key"), can't use the history back and forward feature anymore. You need to use the mouse right-click feature or use the buttons in the menu. I'm using a Wacom Tablet and have my buttons are configured to history back and forward when Safari is an active window. I've tried to switch to US keyboard and make the shortcut in the Wacom software, but after I go back to my native language - Danish - it doesnt work. After Apple changed the option from backspace to command + [ and ], I cannot use the history anymore unless I have to use the mouse.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Jim,
    That shouldn't be a problem at all, if you buy it in the US, the software will be in English, but should install just fine on her PC.
    I'm sure someone will give their input, some people here have bought players from other regions.

  • Some applications don't put accents with non-english keyboard layouts

    I'm using a Portuguese keyboard with three different macs running Mac OS Tiger 10.4.8/9. Some applications (like Motion 2 and Swift Publishing 2) don't allow writing some accented characters, like (è) or (ê), that are accessed by Shift+normal key, but they do display correctly other accented letters, for instance (é), witch are accessed directly without the Shift key. This happens only in some applications and with a european keyboard layout (I tried it also with the spanish and french keyboards layouts), but not with other applications (it works all right with Word or iPhoto) and the english keyboards.
    Any sugestion as how to solve this? If I create the text in some other application and paste it in Motion it works! But it's a drag.

  • Non-english keyboard layouts work in some programs, not others

    In some programs, I can set a non-English keyboard layout and have the appropriate behavior when it comes to diacritics - in, say, the brazilian layout, hitting { then a will give me a á, and so on. It works perfectly fine in Firefox and xchat, for instance. But in other programs, opera and openoffice to name two I've tried, this fails. I either get a garbage character when I hit the first diacritic key or I just get the diacritic by itself and then the accentless vowel: ´a.
    Completely non-English characters still work fine; I can get ç in the Brazilian layout and ñ in Latin American and the Georgian one works fine too, since Georgian doesn't have diacritics I presume. It's just diacritics that don't work.
    I first noticed this problem after I installed SCIM, so I assume it has something to do with the SCIM installation, but I don't know what I did in the process of installing it that would've messed things up.

  • Where can I get a MacBook Pro retina 13 with Arabic/English keyboard.?

    Where can I get a MacBook Pro retina 13 with Arabic/English keyboard.?

    you have to go to Apple store online then you'll have to go to customize your MacBook Pro, there you choose Arabic keyboard, and it'll automatically contains both languages English and Arabic....... because the Latin letters must have for any computer to be used on email's website and etc. etc.

  • [LR2 - SOLUTION] Using Lightroom in englsih with a non-english keyboard layout

    Hi,<br /><br />Many of us, non native english speaking LR users, are using LT in<br />english on a system having a non-US keyboard layout. The conseqeunce of<br />this is that we can't reach a lot of keyboard shortcuts because LR<br />doesn't offer any interface for configuring them.<br /><br />However, there's a workaround. I'll explain here what I did for the<br />french language but you can apply this to your own language.<br /><br />For the non english languages, the keyboard shortcuts are defined in<br />C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom<br />2\Resources\<language>\TranslatedStrings.txt. If you are using LR in<br />english, this file is not used and there's no similar file in C:\Program<br />Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\Resources\en.<br /><br />But you can create one containing only the shortcuts that you need.<br /><br />I have created  a new TranslatedStrings.txt file containing only the<br />keyboard shortcuts defined for the french version. I did this by copying<br />only the lines containing the following sequences:<br /><br />....Key=...<br />....KeyShifted=...<br />...AgPanel/LeftPanelShortcut...<br />...AgPanel/RightPanelShortcut...<br />...MenuShortcut/DecreaseRating=<br />...MenuShortcut/IncreaseRating=<br /><br />(french users can find this file here:<br />http://www.mainsoft.fr/Files/LR/TranslatedStrings.txt .<br /><br />Copy this file to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom<br />2\Resources\en" and relaunch Lightroom.<br /><br />Now you have the same keyboard shortcuts as when using LR in french.<br />Interestingly enough, if you hit ctrl + < , the LR keyboard shortcut<br />panel is displayed and it shows your new shortcuts.<br /><br />Again, you can do the same for your own language by copying the<br />specified strings from the relevant folder.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />-- <br />Patrick Philippot<br />MainSoft Consulting Services<br />www.mainsoft.fr

  • Command-~ - not possible on non-english keyboard

    Searched the forum and could only find this topic in the archives. It's a problem that comes up once in a while.
    I love to point out that the shortcut Command-~ (and command-1,2,3,...) is still hard coded in Photoshop.
    As a user on a non-english keyboard it's impossible to use the Command-~ shortcut. On Mac it's not even listed, on windows, it's listed but it can only be selected by pressing the shift key; so the shortcut doesn't work.
    Hopefully Adobe will add the possibility to change this shortcut once and for all.

    The no-mouse shortcut in CS4 is Cmd Option 2
    The Channel shortcuts have been re-numbered with the Composite now being "2" and the next one (R, C, or Lightness depending on image mode) being "3". And so forth.
    Cmd Option, plus the appropriate number, serves to select Highlights in the specified Channel.
    Cmd Option Shift, plus the appropriate number, lets you add to the selection Channel by Channel.

  • Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

    I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone.  I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default.  In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default.  Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
    The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen.  I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password.  Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone.  I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots.  Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
    I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay.  I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query.  After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer...  I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
    You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
    Here's what I found out...  If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
    You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer.  After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work...  This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
    Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up.  If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
    I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it.  Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
    Good luck!
