KEYBOARD making spanish letters

Can someone please tell me how to make spanish letters  ( specifically the n) with my keyboard. I had added the different language options but do not know how to access and change them when typing.
Thank you
Phil

When using the US keyboard, you can make ñ by typing option/alt + n, then n.
If you are running 10.7 or higher, you can also just hold down the n key and choose ñ from the popup menu that appears.

  • Keyboard in spanish

    Hello, I want to buy a Mac Book Pro. But I need the keyboard in spanish. How should I do to order the Mac with this keyboard?
    I need a keyboard with "ñ"!!!!!!
    On the site, I have reeden about the backlight keyboard, but I didn't understand what thas it means.
    Thank you very much.

    I'm curious, Ollie - where does he mention being in UK?
    It may be possible to order from the high street Apple Store, but I've so far only seen that done in the US.
    If they do say they can do it, expect to wait several weeks for a keyboard to be acquired and fitted.
    btw Diego, even the English and US keyboards do ñ, but it requires two keystrokes - alt+n followed by n.
    There are two Spanish layouts, Spanish and Spanish ISO; there are differences between them as to the face keys, and big differences as to what you get when using the 'shift' key, the 'alt' key or the 'shift'+'alt' combination. (with the corresponding layouts selected in Input Sources of course).

    You changed the proper preference, but you don't need to relaunch iTunes. You do, however, need to click the blue OK button at the bottom right of the preferences window. The change will happen then.

  • Keyboard in spanish/laptop in english

    Hi everyone....
    I have a MacBook Pro with the keyboard in Spanish. I like to be able to use it in Spanish, but keep everything else in English. It's hard to guess many of the keys in English when I want to type many of the symbols. THANK YOU...

    you can buy a keyboard cover with the English symbols on it then switch the keyboard language setting on your computer.

    If I buy a Mac Air online in Taiwan will the keyboard include English Letters?

    You should - if you're in the UAE, for instance, you should get an Arabic keyboard (you may have to specify when you configure your machine - I don't know, I live in the US).

  • I can no longer search for spanish letters in new download of adobe reader

    I downloaded Adobe Reader X1 and now cannot search for Spanish letters like ñ or vowels with accents on them?  Please advise/help? Thanks.

    No, there's nothing you can do to update the document. This is a strange situation. The only explanation I can think of is that the previous version used some repair mechanism that allowed it to identify those characters, even though they are encoded incorrectly, and that this mechanism was removed from the newer version.
    You can report this issue to Adobe as a bug, if you wish, here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    But as I said, there's nothing else you can do about it.

  • How can I write Spanish letters on my keyboard?

  • Keyboard producing extra letters when typing and impacting system performance

    I’m having some issues with my Mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15. The Apple tech guy was baffled at the symptoms I was experiencing; he was unable to help (the MacBook Pro itself has not been inspected) so I thought I would see if anyone else had a view as to what the issue could be. I’m happy to fix it myself if possible (I’m quite comfortable with doing repairs/upgrades/general maintenance on Macs and PCs at large) and would rather avoid a hefty fee from the Apple store or other repair services if it can be avoided (unless the error is due to faulty hardware where Apple will fix free of charge).
    The issue lies with using the internal keybaord. Most of the keys on the keyboard work just fine, a couple don’t, however when I use the internal keyboard it significantly slows down animations (i.e. clicking on the Applications icon on the dock will take a good 5-7 seconds for it to finish the pop-up). There hasn’t been any liquid spillage or suffered from any falls so I’m not quite sure how this problem came about. These are some of the issues/symptoms I’m having which may help in a diagnosis:
    -Shift key is stuck and the Mac will boot into Safe Mode on its own. Holding down the Option key upon pressing the power button until the spinning gear appears will allow the Mac to boot normally. I can use an external keyboard and the Mac runs just fine. However, if I use the internal keyboard....
    -Animations run slowly and it cannot load graphics programs such as iMovie. (An error message pops up, but I do not have this latop with me at time of posting this to find what it is. If you need to know what the error message is, let me know and I will post it here when I get home). Even though I’m in ‘normal mode’ for less of a better term, using the internal keyboard will result in the Mac performing like it is in 'safe mode' until…
    -Pressing any key on an external keyboard. The slow animation issue is resolved (i.e. clicking on the Application icon on dock pops up in less than a second as per normal) and the Mac will return to running as normal and everything is very responsive. iMovie will now load correctly (without the error message).
    -Some letters when pressed on the internal keyboard will type another letter directly after it (e.g. If pressing ‘q’ it will type as ‘QT’ (in caps due to the Shift key being stuck), same for pressing ‘t’ will display as “TQ”. This also happens to ‘a’ as it will type ‘AB’ and ‘b’ where it will display ‘BA’. In total about 6 or 7 keys around the keyboard are affected where pressing one key will result in it being typed in caps AND a second correspoding letter. Pressing that second corresponding letter will also type in caps and it's "linked" key.
    -Selecting individual files with the track pad (after pressing a key on the internal keyboard) will pick multiple items within a folder as if you were clicking and dragging to select multiple files. If I click on one file and move the cursor (without holding the click or ‘touch to drag’) to a file below, it will select everything between the two selections. Pressing a key on the external keyboard returns everything including the track pad back to normal
    I’ve performed a clean install of Snow Leopard which took a little longer than usual. The install disc took some time to actually load into the installation screen, roughly 5-7 minutes longer. The external keyboard doesn’t appear to work on boot up until I get to the log in screen. I’ve cleaned inside Mac from what minimal dust was there. Finally, I’ve been unable to reset the PRAM or SMC as the laptop boots into Safe Mode due to the Shift key being stuck and the external keyboard not being recognised until I reach the log in screen to enter my password. Other keys don’t appear to be working (i.e. holding down C to boot from disc and other key commands on start-up do not work), the only key on the internal keyboard that appear to work on boot is Option which allows me to bypass the 'auto-safe mode' boot.
    I’m quite sure this is hardware related and if feasible I will fix myself, if not I’m happy to use an external keyboard (except when needing to perform boot commands which is where I’ll run into some issues).System specs are as follows:
    MacBook Pro 15 - Mid 2010 (April)
    2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    4GB RAM
    160GB hard drive
    NVIDIA GeForce GT330M 256MB
    I’d appreciate any possible answers you have. Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, I’m quite sure this is a unique issue so I’d be surprised to learn someone else has had this problem too after all the hours of research I’ve done!
    Thanks.

    lol, I was going to add "as long as it's not doing that all the time" ...but was hoping for the quick fix. You might want to check your Activity Monitor and see which program or background process is causing the activity ...have you installed anything lately that coincided with this problem? You also might want to try booting into Safe Mode to see if things still persist.

  • Keyboard typing weird letters and symbols

    Hi all
    I have tried to use my Macbook Pro this morning and when I type its typing the wrong letters
    and symbols...................can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Jo

    I just spent hour trying to fix tihs on my iMac and could find the answer so I wanted to post it for someone else. Mine was typing in crazy symbols (åß∂ƒ©).
    Also I could not Command + Tab (shoot me), and when I clicked on a window in another app it hid the windows I was working in.
    I tried new keyboards. And the system preferences stuff - system preferences - language & text - input sources. then select US. This didn't fix it.
    Then I tried to change the keyboard shortcuts in the same window - spotlight (on left), unclick the show spotlight search field and the other one bellow. Then hit the com + Spacebar. This didn't fix it.
    Then i did it and double check that i did it right and still didn't fix it.
    So I called apple support and they gave me the magical key to fix this.
    Turn off your computer. Unplug for 30 sec, and everything attached. Then power it back on and hurry and hold Command + Option + P + R. I held Command + Option + P with one hand and then after I hit power I added the R.
    The computer will make one chime. Keep holding it. I will then shut down and make one more chime and you can let go.
    Taa daa!!
    I have a 27" iMac 2.93Ghz i7 with 10.8.2 (FYI).

  • G4 iBook keyboard entering bizzarre letters

    Hello, I have an iBook G4 that was loaned to a student here at my school. It was working fine, but now the keyboard is very funky. When I type an a, for instance, a weird combination of letters appears. The same happens for all the letters. I did plug in a usb keyboard, and it works fine. I have picked up the keyboard, and don't see anything obviously spilled there. Sadly, the student who borrowed it refuses to admit to what happened, so it's hard to diagnose.
    Any ideas at all? I'd hate to pay to have it replaced or repaird if it's a simply fix. I cannot create a new account and try that because I can't enter the password to create one.

    Without knowing more, one would guess there was a spill, maybe?
    If the USB keyboard gave the same odd results, I would wonder about settings.
    Perhaps a replacement keyboard would cure the problem?
    You also may want to try posting in the iBook G4 Forum.
