Language input mode on welcome screen.

Hey there.
How do I change input mode (not language) on the welcome screen?
I'm living in Denmark and studying Japanese, so I use both Danish and Japanese keyboard layout. The problem is, the Japanese keyboard layout have 3 different input modes, which, once you've changed to Japanese, can change with a button next to the language
button (or hotkeys).
However I can't change between these input modes on the welcome/login screen, I can only change between Danish and Japanese. Which means I can't login to one of my accounts because some recent hard drive trouble means I have to write the username, which
is in Japanese characters.
Thanks, and hope I didn't repeat myself too much, it's just every other question about language and the welcome screen deals with purely changing language, not input mode of a specific language. So I'm a little frustrated, sorry :P

Hi,
To use a Japanese you should also add the Japanese input method on your computer, you can add a lanuage package in this way:
Install a language package from the control panel:

Besides, an input method should also be added and set as default input method, then log off the computer and log on again to check the result.

Bug report submitted re Input Mode affected by ACR 4.2 Mac - very annoying

Just submitted a bug report to Adobe. ACR 4.2, Photoshop 10, Tiger 10.4.10, PowerPC.
Most users in the US and the UK may not even run across this situation.
If you use a non US standard keyboard layout as your Input mode, causing ACR 4.2 to launch, either from Bridge, Photoshop, or the Finder, this switches the selected keyboard to the US standard. If you click the Cancel button in ACR, the keyboard reverts back to your custom keyboard layout; but if you click Open, the US standard keyboard remains set even after quitting Photoshop, ACR and Bridge.
It took me a while to figure out what was causing me to loose my preferred keyboard layout. It didn't dawn on me ACR 4.2 was doing it. Observing a few screen shots led me to discover the cause.
It's most annoying.

The choices in Bridge > Preferences > Advanced > International > Keyboard are limited, and they do not allow for choosing custom keyboard layouts.
I need the custom keyboard layouts for a variety of reasons, such as being able to type in seven languages with my most used one without switching, two Russian layouts to allow for two non-standard ways of encoding Russian fonts, etc.

Stop installing Tiger before the Welcome screen appears

I would like to give my Mac away as a gift to a newbie and consider it nice to give him a Mac that feels like being delivered from the factory.
This means: I would like him to see the welcome screen first (the one where all the Welcomes in hundred different languages appear immediately after you power up your Mac for the first time ever).
Unfortunately, after following the usual process of starting from recovery disk, erasing the Hard Drive and installing the OS it starts this screen automatically. I do not see a way to stop it or make sure that it appears again upon next power up of the Mac. On the contrary: You must enter your personal settings immediately.
I read something about this years ago and think I remember it was a UNIX-Code which had to be entered. But even if so: Where can I enter? I cannot open Terminal in this stage?

@Steve:
The good news: I do not have to be ashamed of myself.
The bad news: No, you cannot go up to Setup Assistent menu bar.
After the installing process is finished the Mac runs into the described "Welcome" windows and asks for registration and setup of an administrator account. There is absolutely nothing you can do to avoid that. There is no menu bar, no button, no nothing.
All the good advices here and elsewhere are talking of entering commands or starting in single-user mode or other, but you simply cannot go into anything. Even the keyboard shortcuts (cmd-alt-esc, etc.) do not work.
I have found a workaround which I really hesitated to use but it obviously works: During the floating around of the "Welcome" logos I pushed the On-Off switch for 8 seconds thereby killing the Mac. After a restart it starts exactly with the "Welcome" window and asks for registration. But this is really not a nice way to treat a Mac.
Thank you anyway.

Assign alert sound to foreign language input

I'm not a good typist, and I can not keep my eyes on the screen when I type.
I use English and Japanese input. Sometimes I type in wrong language and waste a lot of time.
Is there anyway to assign an alert sound when I start typing in the secondary language, so I know which input mode without checking the menu bar.

AFAIK, this is impossible.

MBA Update 1.0 - Buttons and text on the Welcome screen are not localized

Hi all!
I use Mac OS X 10.5.4 with French (Canada) localization on my MacBook Air, and it appears that after applying the 1.0 Update released on 2008.08.23 (which is said to resolve processor issues), the text on the Welcome screen now appears in English.
This must be related to this new update, since I did only text editing this morning and everything was OK when I started the computer for the first time.
Is it possible that the updated corrupted and/or removed the localization files, and is there a way to restore this? I hope it does not affect text elsewhere in the UI.
Note: I just done a PRAM reset and it does not solve the problem. Should I perform a SMC reset?
Thanks for your help,
Kind regards,
Yannick

After a bit of search, I found a solution to my problem. It seems that the MacBook Air Update 1.0 indeed broke the Login window language on my system (I don't know how, but it did). This issue can be solved by using "TinkerToolSystem" from Bresink in Demo mode. This little app can restore the language upon login.
Please note that the "Enabling the root account & and change root language" did not work, for me at least. This method may not be possible anymore on Mac OS X Leopard (the tip mentions Mac OS X 10.3).
My Login Window is now back to normal
Thanks,

After enabling the Built-in Administrator account, it is not shown on Welcome screen

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Starter SP1.
I have previously successfully enabled and then logged on, to the built-in administrator account, and then when I had finished using it, disabled it again.
Unfortunately today, I found that when I enabled the built-in administrator account, it no longer appears on the Welcome screen.
I went through the process of enabling it by doing:
Start/Search "CMD"/right-click CMD/Run as administrator.
net user administrator active:yes
It confirms: "The command completed successfully."
However, when I log off and log back on (or do shut down and restart), the Welcome screen does not display any option for the Built-in Administrator account.
I have also tried doing the above in Safe mode, and also using Command Prompt from a Rescue disk.
As background information:
The reason why I wanted to access this account today, was because I attempted to defrag a partition listed as "(1% fragmented)" and after Defrag appeared to complete while at "Pass 2", the partition is still shown as 1% fragmented.
I would appreciate advice how to resolve the issue with the built-in administrator account.
Regards,
Robert339

Hello Niki Han,
Thank you for your response. I have not yet had an opportunity to look into what you have written but wish to thank you for that information.
Meanwhile, I would like to discuss the possible cause for this issue. I know the date when I last successfully accessed the built-in Administrator account, which was April 18, 2012.
Since I was last able to use that account on April 18, 2012, I have made no changes to the system other than install all Important Microsoft Updates through Windows Update.
A full scan with Windows Defender finds no threats.
A full scan with Avast finds no threats.
I beleive Microsoft may wish to ensure that this issue has not been caused by any of the following 30 updates. If it has been caused by one of these updates, then Microsoft should consider issuing a further update to correct this.

I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays. I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen. When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background. i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on. Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either. Any input would be welcome.

I dont understand anything you said in your post.
Do you have a specific question about video production?
The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

Installed Mavericks and now am stuck at welcome screen. Enter button does nothing. Help!

As my question says, I am stuck on the welcome screen for setting up mavericks. It won't let me select my country and move on. I tried rebooting with no effect.

Hey,
Try first booting up in safe mode (hold down the shift key when you hear restart chimes). See if that gets you in. If it does, back up any important files and then verfiy your disk by going to Disk Uitility.Then try restarting.
If you still can't get in you'll need to boot up in recovery mode (command-R) and then click "re-install OSX". This literally took 6 hours, but I'm finally able to use my computer and Maverick is installed. Also, just a note, re-installing the operating system shoudn't delete everything on your hard drive, so don't panic if you haven't backed up. But always back up just to be safe!
Good luck!

Satellite L500 will not load past the 'welcome' screen

Hi,
My Toshiba Satellite L500 laptop will not load past the 'welcome' screen. The cursor thing just keeps going around and around but won't go to my desktop.
Last night it went into some temporary profile and it had a message saying 'your other profile cannot load at this time please try again later'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kara

The error message is not known to me and also searching in google didnt get any hints.
Possibly your Windows OS is muddled up.
Did you try to boot Win 7 in safe mode?
Try this. Restart your notebook, tap the F8 key.
In advanced boot options choose the option called Safe Mode.
If the notebook does not allow booting in Safe Mode, try the option Last Good Known Configuration.
If this didnt help, try Repair my Computer. Here you can choose between different settings.
The one which could solve this is HDD recovery which helps you to set the notebook to factory settings. But this means also that your HDD would be formatted!
So be aware of this!

Firefox freeze whenever tired to change language input

Hi. Whenever I tried to change language input to enter other languages Firefox freeze (program not responding).
It happens as soon as I hit alt+shift or when I click language bar to select other language.
It also happens with several languages (that I tested, might be all), and I tried various input software/mode including windows default, all freeze. Reset Firefox under help does not work either.
This issue occur with Firefox and Chrome, but not IE... Might not be Firefox problem as it happen w Chrome, but and ideas please? Thanks.
J
Edit:
* regedit might be changed, but do not believe touched internet setting.
* I can enter foreign language as long as I set that language to default, and do not change to other language in the language bar. Currently I am using foreign language input software as default, and switch to English input '''within '''that software.

Hi. karaoke I am not sure if its the same issue. The crash at language switch on my computer was due to the IME for Eastern Language Banks (Language option -> Detail under text services and input languages -> Properties -> reset/untick auto learn).
If you are not using Eastern Language IME... I am sure others here have more experience and can better help you. =)

Slow to wake up; "Welcome" screen after archive & install

Thanks for the ongoing help. This board has been a lifesaver many times.
I've had numerous problems with my Rev. B iMac that usually require DiskWarrior to fix. It gets worse every time.
Anytime it shuts down unexpectedly, either because of a power outage or force shutdown, the files are so scrambled that it never gets past the gray screen without the fans running and then shutting down. I have to boot up in target disk mode and fix it with DW from my G3 iMac.
The problems start when I try to open a file or program immediately (less than five minutes) after it wakes up; I get the spinning beach ball for at least ten minutes, and then the computer seems to catch up.
This latest time, though, the files were so screwed that it gave me the "Welcome" screen and wants me to set the computer up from the beginning. I can tell that my files are still there when I boot up in target disk mode, but if I go through with the setup, will they be erased, and what's causing all these problems to begin with? The hardware test didn't show any problems, and both my RAM sticks appear to be OK.
Thanks again for any help.

Power outages can cause disk corruption just like a forced shutdown. With a UPS, you can eliminate the frustrations associated with a power loss. Get one.
Even though it passed the hardware test, I would still say that it sounds like a hard drive problem. Take the time to run the extended test and see what it finds.
If it still finds nothing, then I would try creating a new user account. There is no reason that starting up from sleep should give you any problems at all, but by creating a new user account, you can eliminate some possibilities like corrupted plist files and such.
Take a look at Dr. Smoke's <a href"http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html"A>FAQs and see if you can find anything that works there.
If you create that new account and there are no further problems, I would either keep using that or do an archive and install of the OS.

How to avoid maximal expand of screen size for welcome screen? VmWare prob?

I run Suns Solaris Express Edition for VmWare under WinXP.
When I start Solaris VM everything is fine except the fact that the welcome screen at boot up (= the screen where the user has to enter his login and password) is expanded to approx 2400 x1600 pixel).
I have to use the horizontal scrollbar to get the entry fields for login and password.
After I entered correctly login and password Solaris retrieves the internal correct display size
of 1280 x 960 and shrinks the screen size accordingly.
So again everything is fine from this time except the screen size at the beginning.
Is this an error of VmWare or of Solaris?

I agree that iMovie's still image quality is embarassingly bad and has many bugs.
Even with no Ken Burns, the sharp images tend to flicker on a TV because iMovie doesn't blur them properly.
And as you very well described, iMovie's Ken Burns produces uneasy zooms/pans because the subpixel rendering is, uh, suboptimal.
iMovie's immortal rendering bug when exporting non-Ken Burns'ed images to iDVD/tape doesn't make things any better.
Yes, bicubically downsampling the input images to 640x480 or adding gaussian blur to the megapixel input images takes care of the flicker and uneasy zooms/pans, but as a side-effect the maximal zoom-ins are then TOO blurry.
The best workaround is to use Photo To Movie's higher quality export setting. It has the best quality rendering engine (I recently compared it to Still Life and FotoMagico). Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied customer of Photo To Movie.

HT1349 I can't get past the welcome screen for my new macbook pro. Help!!

Seriously. My new macbook pro will not let me progress past the welcome screen. It will not let me select australia (or any other) country as its host country!!!!

I just had the exact same problem. You must physically push down on the trackpad and get an audible "click" to activate the continue button on the language screen. The one-touch click function is not yet enabled on your Macbook because you haven't set it up yet. This should work for you. It did for me!

Toshiba Satellite won't go past Toshiba welcome screen.

Hi. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that was shut while running and sat overnight without power so it was basically sleeping.
In the morning, I turned it on and it froze on the Toshiba welcome screen which is the first thing you see when you start up the laptop.
The keyboard and mouse wouldn't work which didn't let me go into safe mode.
Also, the little cylinder light that indicates when the computer loads was completely on and stayed on.
It runs on Windows XP.
And now it does this everytime I turn it on and won't go any further.
Please help! Thanks!

The computer is not finding a boot device or files. Go into the Bios and check the Boot Priority. On most Toshiba Satellites, you either hit the Escape key or the F2 key to get into the Bios. Make sure that the first boot device is the hard drive. Often you will see this abreviated at HDD. Also make sure that the hard drive is being seen in the Bios. If the hard drive is not being seen in the Bios you are not going to boot into Windows. Guaranteed. If the hard drive is being seen in the Bios and is the first boot device in the Boot Priority and it is still not going beyond the Toshiba splash screen, then you have a major software problem. In that case the only option is run the Recovery CDs and see if you can reimage the hard drive. If the hard drive is not being seen in the Bios, this could indicate that the hard drive is not properly connected to the computer or has gone bad. In that case, you will be talking to your friendly Toshiba authorized repair center for diagnostics and repairs.

Windows 7 won't load past the welcome screen

I'm trying to boot up my laptop but it keeps hanging on the welcome screen. I go through the password page and then it just sticks on the welcome screen with the little spinning circle. It does the same in safe mode but the circle is completely frozen
on the welcome screen and then it gets no further. I don't have a windows recovery CD. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I suggest boot into Recovery Console to perform System Restore to test the issue.
1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer using the computer's power button.
2. Do one of the following:
If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windowslogo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon
prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.
3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter. (If Repair your computer isn't listed as an option, then your computer
doesn't include preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has turned them off.)
4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.
5. On the System Recovery Options menu, click
System Restore.
