Keyboard switching while updating software ....

Hello,
My password was refused when autorizing the installation of the OS X 10.4.3 update (but I could close and open a session without problem). After searching for a clue, I discovered that the mapping of my keyboard was different when I was in the autorisation window. After discovering what was the new mapping, I entered my password and I could install the update.
This picture will be simpler to understand :
http://pages.infinit.net/accueil/coprem/pages/divers/keyboards.jpg
That page shows what happens to my keyboard when authorizing the update of the system softwares. In the upper keyboard layout you see my normal keyboard before the autorisation window appears. In the other one you see how the keyboard changes when the autorisation window appears. The keyboard changes to a DVORAK keyboard. So when I press an «r» I get a «p» and so on. I tried a few different keyboard layout (american, canadian, french canadian, etc ....) and this behaviour repeats. When closing the autorisation window, the keyboard reset itself to my normal keyboard.
Voodoo ??? Can somebody help me with this one ???

  • While updating software on my iPod touch 4 my computerswitched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings but there are photos on my iPod that have not been backed up. Am I going to lose them?

    While updating software on my iPod touch my computer switched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings. I have photos on my iPod that were not backed up so will I lose them if I resore to original settings? If so is there any way I can get them back?

    After you restore to factory settings/new iPod you can restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    That is your only choice

    Have you tried resetting your iPad? You may have to restore again if there was a problem.
    Try the reset first.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    My phone is locked up while updating software on iTunes showing iTunes symbol and a connector. It has been connected to iTune for a long time. How doI restore my phone?

  • My iphone 3gs is stuck at recovery mode while updating software 4.3.3

    my iphone 3gs is stuck at recovery mode while updating software 4.3.3 and even itunes is not responding . and i m using newest software of itunes on mac. please help.

    If you followed all of the steps within that article then it's almost always a hardware issue. Reason being is that if you attempted restoring the iPhone from another computer (as the article informs you to), and you are still stuck in recovery mode, it proves that it is not a problem with the iTunes installation on your computer.

  • While updating software on my Iphone 3g i am getting 1015 error

    am getting an error 1015 while updating the software, I tunes is uptodate...
    Please advise

    Is your iPhone jailbroken?. Are you trying to downgrade the iOS?. In the article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 this is what it says about error 1015:
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • While updating software of Ipad, it stop working and only shows the Apple on screen. How can I recover?

    While I was updating the software of my IPad, it stopped working and only shows the apple logo. How can I recover my IPad?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Hi shelter,
    Have you tried doing a reset on the phone? If you haven't done it yet, please try to do it. Just go to Menu > Settings > Rest. fact. sett. > Settings Only. This will not delete any personal information that you've saved on the phone. However, it will return all customized things you've done on the phone, for example, changing wallpapers. ringtones, etc. By the way, it will ask you for a security code and the default code is 12345. However, if you have personalized it, try using your own code instead.
