Is there a way to permanently change the input language in the login screen?

Whenever I start my iMac with Mavericks, after the boot is complete and the login window appears, I have the change the language in the top right corner from US to DE, else I can't type in my password. Mavericks does not remember this setting, next time after startup I have to do it again. The original owner of this Mac was using US as input language, so I guess that's where it's coming from. This extra step of changign language only takes a few seconds, but many times I forget it and try to enter my password but it will not work. There must be a console command or somethign that can fix this? Thank you!

I managed to find the solution myself. If anyone is interested, just follow those steps here:

Change your OS X language
Your Mac is set to display the language for the country in which you bought the computer. For example, if you bought your Mac in the United States, your Mac is set to English. If you bought your Mac in France, your Mac is set to French. But if you prefer to use a different language, you can.
If you bought your Mac in the U.S. but English isn't your preferred language,
you can switch the language via drag-and-drop.
Open System Preferences and click Language & Text.
Click the Language tab.
In the Languages pane, drag your preferred language to the top of the list.
To apply the language throughout your system, restart your Mac or log out and log back in.

Is there a way to permanently change the default video player to VLC?

I installed the QuickTime update and now all my AVIs won't play with sound. Downloaded VLC and they will play with sound. I went to 'Get Info' on an avi and changed 'open with' to VLC and selected 'change all'. They will open and play with VLC until I re-boot, then everything changes back to QuickTime. Right now I just hate Quicktime and don't want to use it. How can I change the default video player to VLC without Quicktime changing it back when I reboot?

Sounds like you changed it properly. The question now becomes, "Why isn't the change being saved?" Have you tried repairing your disk permissions? As to the original problem, it could be that the QT upgrade has rearranged the order of your stored codec components table called by QT. While this table is rebuilt each time the QT Player is opened, the table seems to be ordered from latest component installments to oldest. So there is the possibility that two (or more) components are allocated for playback of you AVI files and the wrong one now has priority. If you can find it (e.g., possibly Perian), you could simply remove it from the QT components folder and then replace it to again change the "build" order for the table. (Basically, you would need to run a component conflict test strategy here.)

Any way to permanently change the source?

Got an eMac and an Intel-based Mac mini, both running 10.5 with all current updates. The mini contains my iTunes-managed movie library. I can use Front Row on the eMac to access the mini's movie library, but I need to change its source from the local iTunes library (which is empty on the eMac) to the mini. Not a problem, but it's annoying to have to do this all the time.
Is there any way to permanently change the source on the eMac so that it always points to the mini?

Anyone? Anyone?

Only password on lock screen and restrictions for certain apps could be helpful in that case.
But restoring will remove this protection and delete all data, so make sure that other people can not take your iPod away from you.
Other than that, no.

How to change the input language ?

Hello,
I am writing an Add-on that needs to change the input language when the user
clicks on the Item Code field ("5") in the "Item Master Data" form.
I can perform the change when I am out side of the SAP application (for example if I create a Windows Form), however I cannot control the input language of the SAP itself through code.
I even tried using Application.Sendkeys, however I was unable to send a combination of ALT+SHIFT, or at least it did not have any affect
Here is the code on how to change the input language on a Windows Form:
For Each Lng As system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage In system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.InstalledInputLanguages
   sValue = Lng.Culture.DisplayName.ToUpper()
   If sValue.StartsWith("ENGLISH") Then
                    system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage = Lng
                    Exit For
    End If
Next
Any ideas ?

I am not sure I understand the problem. Anyway in B1 you change the language by
changing it from the Administration module. This raises a Application event that
is sent to all the add-ons. The event is aet_LanguageChanged and you should
then change the language handled by your add-on when you receive it.

How change keyboard input language?

hi,
i am working on Windowx XP and for multiple language input support i am using the windows language bar.
How can i change the input language through the java itself.
i try this code but it not working
this.jTextField1.getInputContext().selectInputMethod(Locale.CHINESE)give me some advise..

Does selectInputMethod return true?
Did you try setting the Character Subset?
Does your OS support Chinese (I know it's a silly question)?
Did you try playing with jTextField1.enableInputMethods, revalidating the component, etc..?

Is there a way to permanently set the mailbox order?

Is there a way to permanently set the sequence in which mailboxes are displayed in the left-most panel of Mail? I can drag and drop the mailboxes into the order I want, and they seem to stick around - at least until I update any of the accounts. The moment I update an accounts prefernces in Preferences, Accounts, the display order is set to the same order that appears on the preferences display.
I have a fairly large number of email accounts, and often have to tweak settings, so it's a bit of a pain to have to reset the order every time I make a change.
This is occurring on both my MBP and my iMac.

Same question.
I recently left Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
Previously, in the side bar of Mail, (the one you make visible using "Show" in a previous post here), I was able to drag and drop any of the Reception mailboxes to the place I wanted to select, to put them in the order I wished, and this order remained until I decide to change it.
This seems not possible any more, or... just for the current session. If I close Mail and reopen, Reception boxes are re-ordered in alphabetic way.
Any way to make my choice permanent as before ???
To make it more clear, ordering my way is possible by drag and dropping for private mailboxes, but not for reception mailboxes associated to different mail accounts, the order is lost once Mail is closed.

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
menu..but not the submenus?
Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
submenu...what can i do to solve this?

Does the example described at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
work for you?
What are you doing that's different from the example?
When you say you just want to change the text of the main
menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
actually tried it.
Hope that helps!

Is there a way to find/change the font of numericals only, within a document in indesign?

Is there a way to find/change the font of numericals only, within a document in indesign?

It might not be what you need for this document, but if you were creating it from scratch, a GREP style would probably be the way to go. That way, new figures added to the text will automatically be styled the way you like.
Start with a base Paragraph Style (i.e. 'Body') that all subsequent styles ('Heading' etc) are based on. Select a figure, and apply the font and any other attributes required. Select it and make a new Character Style. In your Paragraph Style, go to GREP Styles, and set it to apply the Character Style to the 'Any Digit' Wildcard.

Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)
