Keyboard defaults to US when rebooted

I recently upgraded OSX (to 10.10) and now everytime I reboot, my keyboard defaults to US layout (I always have to reset to British).
I've trawled the forums, but can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. Any ideas?

hi bob1944,
Under the Control Panel (large icon view) > Language option, can you try to Override the Windows Display Language and the Default Input Method.

Windows 7 64 stuck (keyboard/mouse) but not when reboot my Boot camp

Hi Guys,
After spending more than 3 times 12 hours reading/searching/trying I've decided to seek for your help.
My problem is pretty simple, trying to install Windows 7 64bit on MacBook Pro 15 Retins (mid 2014 model - MGXC2LL) gets stuck at language selection level if system is not booted by Boot camp.
I've performed many tests and the only way to get mouse pointer moving and keyboard responding is to create partition using bootcamp and restart system.
Once rebooted, Windows 7 installer starts and I can go past language selection.
I can poweroff mac (powerbutton) and power it on, boot from USB stick and it will still work. I can even pull it out of system and mouse/keyboard will still work.
Once system gets booted to Mac and restarted to Windows installer, from the very same stick, it get's stuck - no keyboard or mouse moving.
On top of this I did integrate into boot.wim and install.wim USB3 drivers as per description from other threads. No luck.
From my side I'm fine to play even with Gparted to create partition whatsoever and I can't figure out why is this so complicated with Mac if one wants to not go with mainstream. It should be as easy as adding Mac drivers to W7 installer and booting it off the stick. Why there's this black magic that system has to be rebooted with BootCamp. What is this black magic? It has to be simple command.
Why do I care about this?
1. Well, once I get past the language selection screen, I'm getting stuck on next step as system doesn't see installation medium (No device drivers found). I'll work on this problem in parallel as seems that have found solution: http://techsavvystuff.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/running-os-x-mavericks-miss-windows .html
2. I'll need to have multi-boot system and will need to install another windows on same mac (Win7 too) and so far didn't find a solution to start properly installer without having partition created by Boot Camp.
Thanks in advance

I'll reply to myself, as have found the magic command thanks to guys from TwoCanoe and example at google groups:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/macenterprise/1FT-h8OvVL8/eG94TXpZWHsJ
sudo /usr/sbin/bless --mount /Volumes/USB_Boot_Volume --setBoot
--legacy --legacydrivehint /dev/disk1`
I'll continue my journey towards TrueCrypt installed successfully on this system then.

LG enV3 First letter always defaults to lowercase when texting using the inside full keyboard

LG enV3 First letter always defaults to lowercase when texting using the inside full keyboard...yet works fine on outside keypad. I have the settings set up properly on the phone to Abc. Even if I change to all caps, it only affects the outside keypad on front of phone, and not the full inside keyboard when flipped open. SW version is VX920V02. I have tried resetting phone, yet did nothing.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi jjm12345!
Let's look into this! When did the issue begin? When you press shift, does the letter change to uppercase?
Thanks,

My keyboard will not appear when i am using Notes App

My on screen keyboard does not appear when I use Notes app. The + sign (to add a new note) does not function to create a new note
Does anyone have any answers
Thanks

Try closing the Notes app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Notes 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Notes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My macbook suddenly shut down, and when rebooted, imovie project was completely gone. No record of it at all. Have been working on it for days, and it has always been there. Any way to restore it? Thanks.

My macbook suddenly shut down, and when rebooted, imovie project was completely gone. No record of it at all. Have been working on it for days, and it has always been there. Other projects are still there. Any way to restore it? Thanks.

I figured it out!!!
Hey guys! Here's what I did that saved my project.
-SHORT VERSION-
Use the Finder window on your Mac to copy and paste your old project (the one not showing up in imovie) to a new folder so that iMovie will see it.
-LONG VERSION-
CONDITIONS:
The project has to exist on your hard drive. To see if it's hiding around somewhere go to:
Home (your name)>Movies>iMovie Library (right click and select Show Package Contents)
In the iMovie Library folder (the default is usually the date) open it to see if your Project is inside. If it is, you are in luck!
RESTORING PROJECT:
Open iMovie
start a new folder under the iMovie Library (again, the default is usually todays date)
Close iMovie
In the finder window (as explained above in the CONDITIONS section) select the files and folders of your project and copy them (in my case these consist of folders called Analysis Files, Original Media, "MYPROJECT", Render Files, Shared Items)
There should now be a folder with today's date in that Show Package Contents folder.
Paste a copy of your project;s files into this folder.
When it is done copying, open up the "Original Media" folder and all of your images and clips should be present.
reopen iMovie. Your project should show up in the Libraries list.
*If your full project isn't showing in the iMovie timeline (mine just had empty bubbles where all my clips and audio should be) try dragging and dropping the clips and images from the project's "Original Media" folder into the import section of your project. Once the files were reimported, iMovie recognized them all and put them back in the correct place for me.
Hope this helps someone!

Help Problem NOT Solved Why have my system preferences suddenly started to reset back to default every time I reboot

Why have my system preferences suddenly started to reset back to default every time I reboot At first I thought it was happening because I disconnected my Google account, but now I've disable that account and switched to Firefox. I wasn't sure how my browser setting could have anything to do with my system preferences and now I think it's some glitch or missed setting that is causing the problem. Oh & I locked my preference panel and that did not help.
In addition to what I say above, not only are all my system preferences being reset to default, but also the preferences for word and Excel. I'm sure it's affecting other programs, but Word & Excel are the main ones that I have a lot of custom setting for. Especially annoying is the fact that my ribbon commands are reset. All this started happening when I signed up for a Google Drive account. The only system updates have been the usual security updates. I deleted my Google account but haven't uninstalled it. I'll try this, but I can't figure out how that would result in all OS preferences being reset.

10.8.1 disables monitors when rebooting in 10.6.8

I just updated Mountain Lion to 10.8.1, When I reboot in my preferred OS (still 10.6.8), I lose the Apple Cinema Display driver and another driver for a cheaper Hanns-G monitor. Before updating to 10.8.1, while in 10.6.8 both monitors worked fine (for years). Each OS is installed on different volumes.
Today that changed. Before I rebooted into 10.8 I had two working monitors when booted in 10.6.8. After updating 10.8 to 10.8.1 I had 2 working monitors in 10.8.1. When I set my startup disk to be 10.6.8 the drivers appear lost (the Apple display works, but with a different looking driver) and the Hanns-G monirot is on, but black!
To test if the monitor was actually working I rebooted into 10.8.1 and both monitors were fine. When rebooted to 10.6.8, the Hanns-G was on, but black.
Does anyone have any idea what's happened? I don't understand how one OS can somehow affect another, even though they both reside on different volumes on different hard drives.
Thanks,
MartyP

Turns out I had to delete from both the Applications folder and an external drive that had a copy of the installer on it. Update notification didn't disappear until I deleted both, emptied trash, and ejected the external drive.

Hello Ming,
Have a look at following thread concerning BAdI BBP_CHANGE_DEFAULT:
[Change the delivery date (Required on) of SC|Change the delivery date (Required on) of SC;
You will have to check in which SC transaction you are in order to distinguish creation from reference to old template.

Can I set a default home page when people use my router?

Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
Can I set it to my web site for example so that people have to go there when they connect?
Thanks,

Hello EireReality. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
No, at least not that I'm aware of. Setting a "default home page" is typical feature of a web browser, not an Internet router.

Keyboard no longer working when using Citrix Receiver and OSX10.9.5

I use Citrix Receiver and an iMac to connect to my work desktop from home. I have the latest release of Citrix Receiver. This morning I upgraded to OSX 10.9.5 and, after the update, my keyboard was not recognised when using Citrix Receiver. It works fine otherwise. Yesterday I had no problems. Is there something in the new OSX upgrade which interferes with Citrix Receiver? Does anybody know what I need to do to get it working again?

I had the same problem and found the solution on another discussion board. You just go to the dock and click on Finder, then click back in the Citrix window and the keyboard works again. At least for me.

I have a 27" desktop mac running with OSX 10.6.8. The bluetooth keyboard started not typing when some of the keys are pressed. Plugged in a wired keyboard, started doing the same thing. Now the cursor moves but cannot select anything. Suggestions?

Maybe something in these Apple support articles will help.

How do I change the default "date range" when searching in the forums?

Hi all,
New to the SAP forums... How do I change the default date range when searching in the forums? I am getting a 90 day search by default. Then I have to change it and search again. Argh!
Thanks,

Hi Amy,
the default date range cannot be changed by users. It is defined system-wide.

I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this الس but they always appear like that ا ل س

MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. You have to use other apps. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
Sometimes you can make Word for Mac do connected Arabic if you are editing a document created with Windows Word.

how do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page
thanks in advance

In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.
