English keyboard and using austrian/german characters?

I got my MacBook Pro from the United States but now I got back to Austria. my problem is that I don't have specific characters listed on my English (US) keyboard, such as Ä,Ü, and Ö ( and the lowercase ones too) to do my work here.
I only need those letters since all the other characters (except the Euro-symbol) are on it. Instead of writing Ä, I have to write Ae, i.e. instead of Äpfel, I can only write Aepfel, which looks very ugly. But right now I havent found a way yet to write those letters without having to copy it from somewhere else (it also takes too much time).
I thought about something liek shortcuts but that would probably interfere with other shortcuts. But how about a program that automatically changes Ae (or ae or AE) into Ä?
Or is there a way to change the function of the second 'option/alt' button? Because I never really use the second one and I thought that it also should have a job.
Or would an applescript do it? I've never tried to create one or even thought about trying to make one even thought it seems to look pretty easy. I just dont have the time to learn it...
Btw, Ü = ue, and Ö = oe
Thank you for you help!

Thank you for your answer. I tried this before and that's actually alright but its like...I am already used to the U.S. keyboard (like those "~!@#$%^&*()_+"-characters are on different positions; Z is on the Y and Y on the Z button) that I don't really want to have to ook at the keyboard viewer all the time. That does not make me write much faster if I have to look up for the ä,ö, and ü (last time I forgot ß). On the other side, if I would be able just to write ae instead of ä it would be much more faster then to 'click-in-menu-bar-to-change-keyboard-layout-and-try-to-find-those-****-charact ers-and-change-keyboard-layout-to-back-to-U.S." way.
The best way would be a little app, running in the background, automatically changing EVERY ae to ä,oe to Ö, and ue to ü. But at least that should work in Office, which I haven't figured out yet.
Another reason why I don't want to use the german/austrian keyboard layout all the time: I have the US keyboard right in front of me, which is probably the most used one in the world (at least I think so) and I am not going to use the german/austrian keyboard in the very near future.
When I write e-mails or so in german, I always use ue cause it just cost too much time to write it the other way.

My wireless keyboard won't work for one of the users

All of a sudden the wireless keyboard stopped working for me, but it works when my wife logs in. I had to create a new account for myself and the keyboard now works. However, the keyboard won't work for my original account. Any thoughts?

Does it shows up as a device in your BT menu under the problematic user? Does it connect? If you delete it from your admin account and re-pair it, does it work?
There is a command called ioreg, which can help as well.
Here is sample output from ioreg -lw0 | grep -i keyboard

How to write special characters in PDF using iText

How to write special characters encoded with UTF-8 in PDF using iText.
Regards,
Pandharinath.

I don't know what your problem is but that's almost certainly the wrong question to ask about it. Java (including iText) uses only Unicode characters. (You may consider some of them to be "special" if you like but Unicode doesn't.) And when it does that, they aren't encoded in UTF-8 or any other encoding.
So can you describe your problem? That question doesn't make sense.

I have an ipod 2g , The keyboard won't work! Or at least some of it's letters and numbers won't. please help i'm stuck with emojis

i have an ippd touch 2g , a part of my keyboard won't work , i can type letters but i can't type numbers . please help i'm stuck with emojis keyboard

Try restarting the iPod by holding down the lock and home button together and then slide the power button to turn it off and then wait 10 seconds and start it up again. If it is not a reset issue then it may be a hardware issue. Is your iPod damaged or have you dropped it recently? If it is a hardware problem then you may not be able to fix it. If your iPod has multitasking options like the new iOS devices, close out the app and then try again, it should reset your device to letters instead of emojis.

My Macbook keyboard won't work and the computer is shutting down at random. Any advice?

I have a Macbook that is approximately 2 years old. It had water spilt on it but since then everything else is working fine.
The keyboard won't type at all, it did on the original start up after the water damage was assessed within the computer's shell. Now not at all. I'm using a USB keyboard for the time being.
Also, it shuts itself off at random. There is a dull click and the screen goes black, then when you attempt to restart it it loads a little and then it clicks and screen goes black again.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Rach Ryan
First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Issue with Czech characters in PDFs generated from RSTXPDFT4

Hi,
We have a requirement to generate PDF documents from the spool of the Billing document outputs in our project.
For this we are using the standard program RSTXPDFT4, which converts the SAP script OTF to PDF format.
But the Czech characters in the billing document output are not getting displayed in the PDF generated out of it.
We are already using a device type I2HP4 when creating the print request , which supports Latin-2 Character set ( ISO 8859-2 ), to which the special characters
of East European languages belong.
Even then , the czech characters are not getting displayed in the PDF generated.
We have raised a message to SAP for this, and SAP informed us that currently the only solution to this is to use Latin 2 soft fonts,
and to upload these soft fonts into R/3 System using report RSTXPDF2 as they contain the Eastern European special characters plus all the other characters in ISO 8859-2.
But, since character font definitions (font files) are protected by copyrights, SAP informed us that they cannot provide these font files and we have to acquire
these latin-2 font files by searching in search engines in the internet.
If anyone has the information where we can get these "Adobe type 1 Latin-2" font files with '.PFB' extension, for the proper display of Czech characters, please let me know.

Hi,
Did you or anyone manage to find a reasonable solution for this issue?
I'm currently facing something similar but with Polish characters instead.
I tried using RSTXPDF2 to upload .PFB and .TTF files but to no avail.

Send purchase order via email (external send) with special Czech characters

Hi all,
I am sending a purchase order created with ME21N via email to the vendor using "external send".
The mail is delivered without any problems, PO is attached to the mail as PDF file.
Problem is that special Czech characters as "ž" or "u0161" are not displayed, a "#" (hash) appears instead.
This problem occurs when language for PO output = EN.
Tests with language = CS worked out fine, but the whole form incl. all texts are in Czech as well; so no valid solution since it needs to be in English.
We checked SAPCONNECT configuration and raised note 665947; this is working properly.
When displaying the PO (ME23N) special characters are shown correctly as well.
Could you please let me know how to proceed with that issue?!
Thanks.
Florian

Hi!
No, it's not a Unicode system.
It is maintained as:
Tar. Lang. Lang. Output Format Dev. type
Format
PDF EN English PDF1
Using this option, character "ž" was not displayed correctly, but "Ú" was ok.
All other Czech special characters are not tested so far.
Thanks,
Florian

I just got an iMac and when I started to set it up it required the keyboard to type, but the keyboard won't connect. I can't use my iMac without it please answer

Wireless keyboard won't connect

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. You have 90 days free phone support, unless you opted for the AppleCare Protection Plan, which I strongly recommend for desktop machines.

TS3048 Keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings

My keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings. What do I do?

First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Otherwise see these support articles:
Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.

Czech characters encoding problem in RTFTemplate with Velocity engine

Hi,
I am trying to use your RTFTemplate project but I have trouble displaying Czech characters in the generated RTF document. Instead of characters like �čř� I get only questionmarks ????. I thought that this could be related to setting a wrong encoding in the velocity.properties file, so I set it to windows-1250 (support for Czech characters) but it didn�t help. Do you have any idea, what could be the problem? If this is not the right place to ask such question, please let me know about a better one.
Thank you for your time,
Ivo Jansky

Hi Jason,
Indeed I had contacted the provider and informed them about the encoding problem and the fact that passing the parameter http_content_charset had no effect on the sent back encoding.
They have taken into account my request and have changed the encoding used during the request to the HOOK_URL.
Thanks to all of your for your help.
Regards,
Jerome.

Apple wireless keyboard won't let me delete without using the fn key.

My apple wireless keyboard won't let me delete in indesign without using the fn key. Is there a key command that I accidentally hit that causes that or something? I've never had this happen before. It isn't happening in any other program, just indesign cs4. Has anyone had this happen and how do I fix it?

I figured it out. My keyboard shortcut set in indesign was corrupt. I went back to the default set and created a new set and the delete key started working again.

Czech characters not visible in TOAD

Hello, I cannot see these special czech characters when use TOAD but yes when use SQL Developer.
In database settings are==>SELECT * from NLS_database_PARAMETERS:
*NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET==>AL16UTF16
*NLS_LANGUAGE==>GERMAN
*NLS_CHARACTERSET==>WE8MSWIN1252
In my computer, Registry entries for Oracle0 is GERMAN_GERMANY.EE8MSWIN1250
What's wrong? Why cannot I see these characters in TOAD? I tried to use Arial, Arial Unicode but it never shows the real characters.
Thanks!

What is the definition of the relevant char column? (desc tablename)
*NLS_CHARACTERSET==>WE8MSWIN1252Note that the character (win 1252) set does not define characters such as c, d, e, n, r, t with hacek/caron diacritical mark (e.g. ř, Ť). The lack in character repertoire may be a problem depending on how Toad retrieves nchar columns (if applicable). So this may be a (non-oracle) app specific issue!

Cannot write some characters

hello..
i wanted to write the characters of Shift JIS into the file but there data that cannot be correctly read
by the nodepad (i guess) or perhaps i am doing it all wrong.
I have a byte array that contains : 00 to 1F, these codes has an equivalent Shift JIS characters.
when i assign some other values say, 41, it is correctly displayed.
is this possible?
here is my code snippet.
byte[] arr = new byte[1];
arr[0] = 01;
try{
     FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("a.txt");
     file.write(arr);
}catch(Exception e)
     System.out.println("" + e);
}please help.
thanks.

Could you explain what you are trying to do? Why are you trying to write bytes when you want to write
text?Actually, i want to dump char into the file in SJIS encoding, and i just let the application (say NOTEPAD) do the reading of that char. Below is my code snippet.
FileOutputStream file = null;
try{
     file = new FileOutputStream(strFile);
catch(Exception e){
     System.out.println("" + e);
OutputStreamWriter osw = null;
try{
     osw = new OutputStreamWriter(file, "SJIS");
     osw.write(2); //write(int)
catch(Exception e){
     try{
          file.close();
     catch(Exception e2){
          System.out.println("" + e2);
     System.out.println("" + e);
try{
     osw.close();
     file.close();
catch(Exception e){
     pw.println("" + e);
Oh? How do you do that? And what makes you think any
program is going to read an "txt" file and pay
attention to it. txt is just a plain text file, it
has no header, so there's no way to specify the
encoding.
When you write a file with a specific encoding (by
telling OutputStreamWriter), you are just writing the
characters in that encoding. It doesn't write what
the encoding is into the file, and there is no 100%
sure way to tell what any file's encoding is. Guess
can be made, but that's it. What are you doing?i see.
i guess then that the specified character that i am trying to print will probably not displayable.
that is, if i am doing it right.
thank you.
