Keyboard stuck in French

On one profile, the keyboard settings are French even if I change the language to U.S. I currently have it set to U.S. Extended, but I can't get the key mapping to match the language. I'm running 10.4.10 on a G5 using a standard Apple USB keyboard. I've repaired permissions and the disk to no effect. Help!

It's all the apps, including Finder, and changing the settings doesn't help. French wasn't on to begin with, and now even when the language says "English" the keyboard is still mapped as French.
The "Language" settings are not relevant for this problem. Could you confirm that you looked at the "Input Menu" tab of System Prefs/International? The box that needs to be checked (with all others unchecked) is called "US" (not "English").
If you've done that, try setting up a new user account and see if the problem persists when logged into that. If not, then it means some .plist or cached in the main account needs to be trashed.
Regarding the mapping, could you confirm it is French, so the top row produces azerty instead of qwerty?

B570 Keyboard Issue.... Keyboard stuck key issue....

Okay...
Earlier in February, My sister accidentally spilled sweet tea (That's right, Sweet Tea) on My BIBB Laptop... After letting it dry for a few days, I found out that the Main Keyboard needed to be replaced, so I bought a replacement Keyboard in June... However, when I plugged it in to my Laptop and tried to start it up, This error occurred:
Error: (I Can't remember the number) Keyboard Stuck Key.
After Unplugging the replacement keyboard (Which is in Great Condition...) I restarted the Computer with my USB Keyboard Connected and it started up fine.... After logging in, I tested my replacement keyboard by plugging it in, and found out that both Shift keys, Backspace keys, arrow keys, and the Number pad on the far right of the Keyboard weren't working....
A friend of mine told me that it was a Motherboard problem and the laptop would have to be replaced, But now I Don't know what To do now....
My question is:
Is there a way to fix this without replacing the whole Laptop? And if so, How?

I'm unable to find any information on Seacreate. Are you sure it's spelled correctly?
Try running a Windows update to see if that finds a driver for it. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isnt-working-properly
If that updates properly and it's still not working, then it's more than likely a hardware issue. Can you check the keyboard cable connections and make sure it is all secure and not crimped, broken, etc?
Did you find a post awesome? A great response? Kudo them!

Large tabular cube w/ lots of measures -- keyboard stuck

hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone has seen this weird behavior: on fairly large tabular cubes (SSAS 2012 SP2), with lots of calculations, the keyboard seems to be stuck, one cannot type or make any modifications to any measures, even after closing a project.
The only workaround is to completely restart the machine. Using Visual Studio 2010 Shell.
Are there any possibly corruptions or calc limitations that one should be aware of?
Notable that this never happens with any small cubes, but just with the largest cube that we have, that has probably tens of calcs.
any thoughts are much appreciated,
Cos

Hi Cos2008,
According to your description, your keyboard get stuck when processing a huge tabular. However, it works properly when processing a small tabular. Right?
In this scenario, I think the keyboard stuck you mentioned should be the entire machine stuck. Since this only happens for big tabular, I guess it should be caused by lack of hardware resource. Please reserve enough disk space for the .cub file. And
set the memory configuration for SSAS engine and SQL instance:
Server Properties (Memory Page)
Memory Properties
Also please refer to a white paper below to optimize your SSAS tabular.
Performance Tuning of Tabular Models in SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services

Dictionary is stuck on "French"

I recenty transferred InDesign from my old computer to my new one. Somehow the dictionary is now stuck on "French." I've tried changing it under the Edit pull down menu and under preferences but it won't take. Any ideas?

Transferred? How?
Anything other than a proper install using the original media or
download via Creative Cloud is a disaster waiting to happen.

[sort of SOLVED] keyboard stuck after first pacman call

Hi
I installed arch using a CD. The next thing i did was
pacman -Syu
Now I can't log in since the keyboard does not work any more. It does work in the grub menu I get before the login prompt. Is this a known problem. Are there any system files which might give me a hint what is going wrong. Would you suggest to simply redo the installation procedure?
Thanks in advance,
Keen

I did.
Same effect.
I am a bit confused anyway. The only reason I used this "old" cd was, the up-to-date iso I downloaded did not work as live cd. I got the error message:
arch linux unknown keyword in configuretion file: IPAPPEND
and then the bootup did stuck
Which seems to be a known bug. I do not understand why there is no newer release than the one from June 2010.
I did not check the MD5 sum so I will give it another try. And check it this time

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Whether the problem your issue is hardware or software related we cannot determine remotely. Apparently neither can Apple. If there is an Apple Store in your vicinity you may want to make an appointment at the Genius Bar. If not you will need to follow the directions given by Apple.

English keyboard instead of french !

When I enter a caption in LR (french version), "a" is entered instead of "q" and "q" instead of "a".
On english keyboard, first letter is "q" on first raw and "a" in second raw.
On french one, first letter is "a" on first raw and "q" in second raw.
So, it seems that LR works as if I had an english keyboard.
Of course, others softwares (Word, Photoshop...) dont make this mistake...
Does anybody knows what I am doing wrong ?

Sorry I can't be more precise but I'm sitting on a German PC and it took me ages to find it the first time round. However, in XP there are 2 ways to change the layout of your keyboard. The first (and only if you have in the Taskbar (bottom right) a small icon indicating which language your keyboard currently is set to. By right clicking on this you can bring up a menu in which you can add another language. I regularly switch between a German and English keyboard and have set a keyboard shortcut (Alt + Shift) to do this. You can also set your own preference within the menu. If the current keyboard setting is not present in the Taskbar than I'm afraid you'll have to go diving in the Help file - changing keyboard - or something like that. Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time - it is there, it is an option, you'll just have to find it.

Keyboard stuck on middle of page

My keyboard is stuck on the middle of the page. How do i move it down again?

Press and hold the 'keyboard' key at the bottom right of the keyboard and after a second or so you should get a popup - slide your finger up to the Dock option and remove your finger and it should move back to the bottom of the screen.
You can turn off the ability to move (and split the keyboard into two halves) via Settings > General > Keyboards > Split Keyboard 'off'

Spotlight keyboard stuck W/iOS 8 iPad

When I swipe down to bring up Spotlight the keyboard comes up in the right side of the screen in what is, to it, portrait mode, even though the device is in landscape mode... When I rotate the device the background rotates as it should but the keyboard remains stuck.
i say this in another app so it's likely not Spotlight and is a larger problem.
I tried to include a link to am image to illustrate the problem but my iPad can't enter text in the URL box, another issue. Also Apple wants me to select a category but none apply to my issue. This is pretty annoying.

Hi Mr. Fazookus,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I can understand your frustration if your iPhone orientation and keyboard are not functioning as expected. The first thing I would suggest in this situation is a reset. Please use the following article for instructions on how to reset your iPhone. Please be sure to let me know if you need further assistance.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Have a great day,

Is there a solution to configure the Ipad keyboard in BEPO (french Dvorak) ?

I'm user of BEPO keyboard. It's a french version of the Dvorak keyboard, very useful for people who (like me) use to type a lot and have often tendinitis. There is several thousands of user in the world since 2008 and the number is increasing every day.
This configuration exist for OSX (with an add-on), for Android too, but I'm unable to find it for Ipad. So bad because I would like to use the mini Ipad with external BEPO keyboard.
Do you know if there exist an app to configure Ipad in BEPO ?
Do you know if this keyboard layout will be implemented someday in the Ipad ?

O.G.

Sorry no, not that I know of.

Keyboard stuck using shortcuts

Hello all,
I am currently using a MacBook OSX 10 and my keyboard seems to be stuck using shortcut keys only.
I am using an external keyboard right now but would like to be able to just use my keyboard on the Mac.
I disabled the command, option, alt, and control keys in the system preferences, but the keyboard still only acts as shortcut keys.
The keyboard as mouse is also not on.
Thanks for the help!

Then, you're using a nonstandard combo. According to Safari->Debug->Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts->*Cmd+/->Show/Hide Status Bar* as noted by nerowolfe. What happens when you use CMDCNTLD?
To activate the Debug menu, type (or copy) this command into the Terminal app, hit the return key, and relaunch Safari:
*defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1*
To turn it off, use:
*defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 0*

Swiss keyboard-layout only french version! Need german version (ö,ä,ü)

Hi folks,
I use a swiss keyboard on my Mac under Bootcamp. Problem, there are two different
layouts here in Switzerland for the same kayboard. One is in french, one is german.
Bootcamp seems to support both of them, but its not true. Both keyboard layouts
are similar. Either layout: "Deutsch > Schweiz (Apple)" or "Französich > Schweiz (Apple)
in both layouts, the key é, è, à still are é, è and à instad of changing to ö, ü, ä.
This is really bad... the programmer should come visit switzerland, and see why this works like that!
what can I do?
kind regards.

Hi Xenitra
I had the exact same problem when using Parallels Desktop. I resolved the problem by downloading and installing "Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4" as source I chose " existing keyboard -> Schweiz(Apple) and did the necessary modifications for ä.ö,ü resp. é,à,è and saved and verified the new keyboard layout.
Then I selected build which created the application to install the new keyboard layout in the system.
Finally I chose my new layout, et voilà ;-) Should work also with bootcamp.

Russian keyboard stuck in "preparing to install" p...

My phone is Lumia 620. Installed Russian keyboard, then had to reset to factory settings because of a memory card. Now when I tried to re-download it it's stuck in "preparing to install" phase for hours. I can't delete it to try again (I suppose a hard reset would work but don't want to spend another two hours re-applying my settings and downloading apps). Tried to search the net but most people have a problem with the download getting stuck, not installing. (I also suppose my download could have gone a bit wrong somewhere as my phone switched off by accident somewhere in the middle and I don't know if it could have "broken" the download?) Estonian keyboard installed correctly and very quickly.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, the issue sorted itself out in the meantime, if anyone has a keyboard download stuck, just let the battery go low until the phone switches off. It could work.
