Keyboard input changed to wrong language

I'm using a dual g5 desktop running tiger 10.4.4. This morning all keyboard input is in the wrong language. It's greek or one of the symbol fonts. According to the setings in the international panel everything should be set to US English, roman script. I know that CMD+space used to toggle between input choices but that now brings up Spotlight. Is another key combination that toggles the languages? Other settings to check? It's interesting that the input menu tab of the international pane still says use CMD+space to toggle inputs, but that no longer works.
Help? thanks

According to the setings in the international panel
everything should be set to US English, roman
script.
The setting that matters is system preferences/international/input menu (not languages). Also make sure you have the box checked for "show input menu in finder," so you can see what keyboard layout is active in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder.

  • Default Keyboard input change in using roaming Profile on different Win 7

    We found a strange problem on default Keyboard setting.
    We are using roaming profiles for all users.
    One of our users is using two Windows 7. One Windows 7 is VDI for working out of office and another Win 7 is her local PC.
    She is only using Two keyboard input: Chinese Traditional English and Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
    Whenever she had used the Windows 7 VDI, when she comes back to office and use her local PC, the default Keyboard input will automatically change to Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
    The user said she had not changed any default keyboard input in the VDI of local PC.
    Is there anything we can do for this issue?

  • Keyboard input change after Mavericks update.

    I am currently using a MacBook 13 inch unibody and since the update to Mavericks my keyboard has changed. I use a Japanese keyboard and have now lost the abilty to enter the at mark @ (that was copied and pasted). A lot of the other keys have moved. I have checked the keyboard input sources and there is only 1 listed for Japanese (kotoeri) which used to work before.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Apple seems to have gone back to the old system where Kotoeri uses the last-active keyboard layout.  Try switching to US in the "flag" menu before switching to Kotoeri and see if that works.

  • CS3 Language Keyboard Input Error

    Greetings All,
    I have been trouble-shooting this problem for a while, but still it is not resolved. Any help or ideas would be gladly received!
    Background: We have a correctly functioning installation of Win XP, and PS CS3 Extended which appears to work normally in every other regard. No obvious errors; no crashes, no start-up complaints; nothing seemingly out of order. I use several installed languages in Windows (EngUK, Russian, Swedish, etc). All of these work normally. All of my installed fonts work correctly in every application on the system except for CS3.
    There would appear to be something wrong with CS3's keyboard mapping in foreign languages. When typing with a non-English keyboard setting (any other language) and using TrueType fonts (not Open), only 'missing character' boxes appear in the artwork. The Layers menu displays the typed text correctly, but this will not appear in the artwork. If I use an old install of PS7, I can type using these same fonts correctly in any language. These layers can be imported into CS3, and these WILL display correctly on the artwork. However, the Layers menu in this case displays nonsensical characters. Ergo, I suspect that CS3's keyboard input data is errant.
    Where does PS3 keep its information regarding language / keyboard layout? It is possible to edit this file(s)? Are there any other ideas regarding this problem and what might be wrong?
    Thanks

    I accidently bought a book in the wrong language, swedish, I dont speak swedish. How can I change it to English?

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
    and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
    and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes, which it is currently doing for me) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption.

  • I am using the wrong language to access a secure website. How can I change it to English?

    I am trying to access my university account from a computer in Germany and while I can access some features, such as e-mail, it is not allowing me access to my secure faculty account. The message I am getting is that I am using the wrong language, i.e. German, to access my account. How can I change the language to English, since the computer automatically uses German.

  • Changing file extensions disables any finder keyboard input

    Hi all,
    Well, i just said it. Oftentimes (very often) when I change a file extensions, after clicking yes to the most annoying confirmation dialog a web designer can find on OSX, the finder stops receiving any input from the keyboard.
    What happens is that after the extension change, I can select file names and do everything the mouse can do in the finder, but no keyboard input is received, I just cannot type any character whatsoever.
    Anyone with the same problem? A solution? A hint?

  • Keyboard input flag changed after 10.7.4

    Hello,
    After updating from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4, the flag icon for the keyboard input seems to have changed. For every flag, the color seems to have changed a bit, and there is a little black border around it.
    Here's how it used to look:
    http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/TS1381/TS1381-02_en. png
    Here's how it looks now:
    http://i46.tinypic.com/2ewzc46.png
    Is this normal?
    Thanks.

    I've noticed this, too. It seems to be intentional as I've seen several posts on various websites where people have brought this up. It must just be a stylistic choice that Apple made. Theses ones are more toned back and more modern looking.

  • Keyboard input source change not being saved.

    Since upgrading to 10.9 my original French spec Mac Mini reverts to French Keyboard input source when I close down, even after resetting keyboard input source to British PC on the login screen when booting up. Is there a more permanent setting option stored elsewhere?

    Hi Brendan,
    Thanks for the link. I did go into system preferences and checked that British was the default setting. In fact it was the only setting. Have subsequently done a bit more research. Up to now I have been changing input source at the initial login screen from French to British. I have just typed my username and password in using a French keyboard layout without changing the input source from French. It gets me in and the default input source is showing as British, which it is picking up from the system preferences. So there must be a setting somewhere that is specific to the login screen.
    Done some more searching online and it looks like it may be a bug!

  • Keyboard input source "randomly" changing???

    Keyboard input source “randomly” changing???
    Hi: I’m trying to learn the Dvorak keyboard as a touch typer, so I change my input source from “US” which is hunt and peck to “Dvorak”. But, weirdly (at least to me), I will have changed from one input source to the other, and yet 15’ later in a different program the input source is still on the other.
    Is there some kind of auto sensing feature where the input source defaults to whatever was used with that document the last time or something like that? If so, is there a way to disable this feature so that what keyboard layout one chooses as an input source always stays that way until manually changed? Or is there another explanation for this behaviour?
    Thank you very much!!!

    In System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources is the option "Automatically Switch To A Document’s Input Source" selected perhaps?
    Alternatively, in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts under Input Sources a shortcut for switching the input source might be selected. Perhaps you inadvertedly type that key combination sometimes.

  • How To Change Standard Message Language?

    Dear All
    I have a atrribute, whose  data type is  integer .It is bounded to a inputfield .
    When i launch the application ,and input a string in the inputfield ,after i  trigger a event ,it return a wrong message in German language ?
    So can anybody give me some tips about how to change the message language in English?
    Thanks In Advance .

    Dear Eleanor,
    Please look at following settings in given order to see if language is set as German (de).
    1. URL - is language being passed as parameter (sap.locale)? [This is valid only if you are the Developer of application]
    2. Your User ID - Is your default language set as German?
    3. Browser - Is your Browser's default language German?
    4. Is 'defaultlocale' property of application set as German?
    5. Is default language of project German?
    6. JVM default is German?
    You should find the answer to your question in one of these 6 locations. Please note that value in 1 will override values of 2-6. Similarly value in 2 will override value in 3-6 and so on.
    Hope this helps.
