Issue with German Keyboard

I live in India but i brought my macbook in Switzerland. Now I have the "german keybaord" and i need to remember the keys present in English Keyboard to type (this is coz i opted for some settings in first start up).
Now i want to stick to german keyboard, i want to type in what i see on my keyboard.
How is it possible?

Hi
If u bought it in Switzerland, you shouldn't have a German Keyboard!
It's actually a Swiss German or Swiss France Keyboard. To change the Keyboard Layout you go to System Pref. -> International -> Input Menu -> choose Swiss German / Swiss France Keyboard depending which one you have built in.

Where can I buy a Macbook Pro or Macbook Air with german keyboard ?

My daughter will soon go for 1 year to the US. I would like to buy a MB pro or MB air for her. Since she will return after this year to Germany, I am looking for an opportunity to get a model with German keyboard layout. In the online store, only US, french and spanish are available.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Henri

I type German on the US keyboard all the time without having to switch keyboard layouts:
option-u followed by a u o (and other letters, too) gives you ä ü ö ï
option-s gives you ß
option-2 gives you €
You can even to French:
option-` followed by, for example e, gives you è
option-e followed by, for example e, gives you é
option-c gives you ç
option-i followed by e gives you ê
There are [many more such combinations|http://www.usingmac.com/2007/12/12/100-mac-keyboard-shortcuts-for- creating-symbols] that yield other special characters.
You can set up the built-in spell check to automatically detect what language you are writing in and you're set
Personally I find the US keyboard much nicer to work with. I'm sure your daughter will get used to it and your wallet will thank you.

Wrong keyboard mapping on a MacBook C2D 2.0 GHz. with german keyboard,

I think people with a english keyboard won't have this problem.
It might be interesting if other people will have the same problem,
with non english keyboards.
But if you have a english keyboard please feel free to test.
Summary:
Wrong keyboard mapping on a MacBook C2D 2.0 GHz. with german keyboard, when choosing chinese "Hanin" input with YiTian keyboard layout.
Steps to Reproduce:
A) MacBook C2D 2.0 GHz (white) with german keyboard
B) MacOSX 10.4.8
1. choose System Preferences - International - Input Menu
2. select Traditional Chinese and only Hanin
3. close System Preferences
4. open TextEdit
5. type 'y' to test if it still displays 'y'
6. choose the german flag next to the system clock and select chinese Hanin
7. press OptionShiftU to get preferences of Hanin
8. choose Modes - ZhuYin - YiTian
9. close preferences of Hanin
10. choose the Hanin symbol next to the system clock and select "Show Keyboard Viewer"
11. type in TextEdit again 'y'
Expected Results:
You should see a chinese character which looks like a nose with a mouth in a side view.
Actual Results:
You get a chinese character which looks like a ribbon. Which is actually
is the character you will get when you hit 'z'.
Regression:
Not only the y is switched with the z. All other keys are mapped like an
english keyboard layout.
It happens whenever you change to Hanin input with YiTian keyboard layout.
This happens here on a
MacBook C2D 2.0 GHz (white)
1 GB RAM
80 GB
Mac OS X 10.4.8
This does not happen on a
15" PowerBook G4 1.67 Ghz
Mac OS X 10.4.8 / Build 8L2127
This also does not happen on a
17" iMac C2D 2 GHz
Mac OS X 10.4.8 / Build 8L127
Notes:
I tried a SMC reset and reinstalled Mac OS X 10.4.8 on the MacBook but I still get the wrong output. The keyboard behaves like a english keyboard
when you choose Hanin with YiTian layout and only on this MacBook. I
couldn't try on other MacBooks. The problem remains if I use a german USB Apple Keyboard.
Update:
I now tested it on:
another MacBook 2.0 GHz C2D (white)
MacBook 1,83 GHz C2D
MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz C2D
all with german keyboard,
all have the same "bug"
PB G4, MacBook C2D, iMac C2D Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Maybe its a secret concept of first Aluminium MacBook? Ha?

MacBook Pro with German Keyboard from Italian Store

Hi,
I want to buy a MacBook Pro with German Keyboard Layout from the Italian Store, but the German Layout is not listen in the available Keyboard Layouts (only Italian, France, English International, English US).
Does anyone know how to order it? Or is there any other possibility to get it? Will Apple add German to the list in the future?

You might try calling an Apple retail store and ask if they can get one for you.

Caret character in numbers (iWork09) not working with german keyboard

The caret caracter used to express "power to" in formulas can not be typed into formulas with the german keyboard layout. Using the caret key nothing happens. For text and strings in cells the caret key works. In iWork08 everything is fine. For formulas the caret character has such to be inserted using copy and paste.
This is more or less a bug report. I could not find a way to tell Apple directly.
Matthias

Thanks
I'm glad to get this info because I thaught that it was linked to physical keyboards which it isn't.
Report sent:
*Your tracking number for this issue is Bug ID# 6491581.*
Hello
+In Numbers '09 we are unable to type the caret in this kind of formula =2^3 when we are using a keyboard layout where this key is a dead one.+
+I tested Numbers in three languages:+
English
French
German.
+They behave exactly the same way with the keyboards layout where caret is a deadkey.+
+Examples of tested layouts:+
French,
German,
Swedish
+At this time, we must use the Character Palette (or a copy paste) to enter the caret.+
+I wish to add that this bug strikes only in the "edit formula" tool.+
+Whe we type the content of a string, it works.+
+We may use the caret to type the circumflex above thr e in this example:+
+="c'est" & " le même"+

How can I use premiere pro cc in english language with german keyboard layout/german shortcuts on a mac?

Hi,
how is it possible to use a german keyboard with its german shortcuts on premiere pro cc in english language on a mac?
I use all my softwares in english.
But aside adobe I can use or change in other softwares (Avid, FCP7, FCPX) to use german keyboard shortcuts on a german logic keyboard.
With After Effects CC I could add a german .txt to a language folder to the installed english version and tataaa:
I could use german keyboard and the german shortcuts on an english installed AE CC.
And in PS there is also a trick.
But in Premiere Pro CC this language .txt doesn´t exist.
And there are many shortcuts that differ from english to german.
Last Job I worked on a PC with the english installed language version, and I could work with the german QWERTZ Logickeyboard
and use the german shortcuts.
I googled and googled and even talked to the support. But no real helpful answer.
Maybe it was easier to do in Premiere CS6. Was it possible there?
So how is it possible to use a german keyboard QWERTZ with german shortcuts on Premiere Pro CC in english language on a mac?
Thanks for your help.

MacBook Pro 2,6 GHz i7, OSX 10.9.3 english

I'd also love to have the answer on this.
It's really bothering. All Training material is in english and I have setup my complete system with all apps in english.
With all the apps shortcuts work just fine, just with Premiere Pro CC it doesn't do it at all .....
Please fix this!

Macbook with german keyboard layout

Hello everyone,
I'm visiting the US in next month and I'd like to buy a macbook from the U.S apple store. Is it possible to order the macbook online with a installed german keyboard? Or instead buying it in a retail store?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for the quick help.
I didn't have the kotoeri checked.
However there was another step I had to take after making the input "thingy" appear in the menubar. If you click it and then select the kotoeri preferences from the drop down menu you get all the detailed settings I was looking for. You can specify which layout you want to use in eisuu mode and what kind of kana input.
Thank you once again for giving me the essential tip for finding this little preference window.

Ordering MBP in US with German keyboard

Hey guys,
I'm waiting for the new MBP generation at the moment and I'm going to buy one when it will be released.
The problem is that I'm used to a German keyboard layout because I'm from Germany. In the next month I'm going to live in the US for one year and so I guess that I can not buy the new MBP generation in Germany anymore.
The point is that I want to/must buy the MBP in the US but I appreciate a German keyboard layout.
Is it possible to order a MBP in the US (NY, FL..) with a German keyboard layout?
Thanks for your help!
Simon

It is not possible to order a Macbook Pro in the US with a German keyboard layout.
Options available are Spanish, French and Japanese.

Midi sync issues with midi keyboard

I am having issues with my midi keyboard being synced with logic pro. I have it connected with midi and audio. When I press play on logic the keyboard sounds will play but it sounds like it is a split second faster than logic. Anyone know any fixes for this issue?

There's several possibilities.
1. It could be plugin related, do you have any latency inducing plugins on the master bus or as inserts on and of the tracks. Maybe I should ask what plugins you're using?
2. In Logic's preferences/audio-Devices tab, is the "Recording Delay" slider set to zero? While your there go to the "General" tab, is the Plugin latency compensation set to "audio and software instrument tracks"?
3. If you have Low Latency mode enabled, disable it.

How you type something depends on what you have selected in settings > general > Keyboards. In particular, you need to tap the language name of your keyboard setting and tell us what is checked under the Hardware list.

Cl_gui_frontend_services= gui_download - issue with german special char

Hello,
we are using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download to create from an itab an excel file.
We face the issue that in this excel file german special characters like Ä, Ü, Ö, ß are not displayed correctly.

Xfce issue with the keyboard layout

Hello all
I'm trying to configure my keyboard for another layout, but i just can't seem to do it, i've searched the xfce wiki and all
The thing is, i'm doing these changes on the evdev file because i have no xorg-conf file, it's a directory not a file, and in the wiki they say this:
Add the XkbLayout Option to your xorg.conf-file. Here is an example if you want to use german and russian keyboard-settings:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
EndSection
While my edev file usually looks like this
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
And i changed it to:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "pt"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection
Really need a little hand here, thanks in advance

Issue with T500 keyboard

Hi there,
I have a T500 from few weeks and last time, the laptop locked because inactivity but when I get back in, the keyboard did no work at all, only the mouse worked. I tried with fn key and F2 and other combination but nothing. I have tried also to plug a USB keyboard but it did not work too. Do you have any idea what it could be ? When I restart the laptop it worked fine, weird isn't ?
Thanks for the answer

I thought the same Barry, but it functions perfectly well on my MBP and has no other issues.
Plus its less that 6mths old.
