Languages & International System Preferences + Acrobat 6.0.1

Everytime I try to open Acrobat 6.0.1 on my Mac, I get an error window stating that the language set isn't supported by this version of Acrobat and to change it in International System Preferences. I've gone into System Preferences, International and verified English is the language selected. I've gone so far as to delete other languages from my preferences and I still get the same error! I have a PDF that needs pages to be extracted to jpgs and I don't know of another way to do this without Acrobat! If someone knows how to fix my Acrobat issue OR how I can extract my PDF pages to jpgs, I'd welcome help on either topic!

Have you tried removing Acrobat and reinstalling? I am actually very surprised that Acrobat 6.0 is functioning in 10.5.8. I had to do quite a bit of digging but I did find the system requirements for Acrobat 6 Professional and they are as follows:
PowerPC® G3 processor
Mac OS X v.10.2.2
64MB of RAM (128MB recommended)
405MB of available hard-disk space
1,024 x 768 monitor resolution
CD-ROM drive

International System Preference In OS Mavericks, 10.9.4

On an iMac 21.5 inch computer, OS 10.9.4…
What happened to the "International" System Preference in 10.9.4? I want to add the diacritical marks to Vietnamese words. How can I do this in Mavericks?

That was changed to Language and Region with 10.7 3 years ago.
In Mavericks 10.9, go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and use the plus and add buttons to activate the Vietnamese keyboard. Use Keyboard Viewer to see which key does what. Or do Edit > Special Characters (or command-control-space) to bring up the Character Viewer.

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/1-blog-pics/mac-system-preferences-international-in put-menu.png
what can i do to repair this client? is there an ability to delete a com.apple.language.plist or something like that?
thanks!
mac monnem

thats the point! that doenst all doesnt work!
1. it should look like that: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/1-blog-pics/mac-system-preferences-international-in put-menu.png
but it looks like that: http://www.usz.tu-darmstadt.de/images/Fotos/bildersportangebot/bild%202.jpg
2. if i try to change in the input menu to choose only german or in the language menu ( http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Artic les/art/intlprefpane.gif ) to change to germat, respectivly, it only works till the next restart.
3. the panel in the input menu to choose character palette / japanese kana palette / keyboard viewer NEVER appears.
thats why i asked for a way to reset the complete international prefane, that it looks like factory setting.

Lost french language for system preferences and lost finder's help

My first installation of Leopard failed on my Macbook pro (blude screen). Made another installation (keeping old system). It worked. but now I have two problems and do not find solutions.
1- All my system preferences panels are in english even though I choose french as th first language in "international". All was in french in my previous system (10.4)
2- also, each time I want to use finder's help it crashes.
should I reinstall 10.5? Is this a known issue?
otherwise everything runs fine on my Macbook pro

Welcome to the Apple boards.
It's not a known issue, it's probably not an issue per se. A failed install creates many "issues" that have to be addressed before going further.
Your Archive and Install most likely archived a bad install and when the migration occurred, these errors migrated into your new system.
I am not sure how much on your original system you have backed up, but you may be faced with having to do an erase and install in order to get rid of what is most likely a bad archive.
The first failure means that there was something wrong with your original system or hardware. Since it's running, sort of, your hardware is probably OK.
Did you first perform a disk check and permissions verify/repair? That's very important before installing a new OS or upgrading.
The help is crashing most likely because of the language issue.
Before reinstalling from scratch, I would suggest waiting for at least a second opinion on this. There may be some way to resurrect your system without completely trashing it and starting over.
It might be as simply as retrieving the proper language apps etc from the DVD using a tool known as Pacifist, but there I cannot help you.

Pushing International System Preferences

Hi all,
I have an office of Australian iMacs and I'm using Workgroup Manager to manage them. In order to lighten server load, I also use Portable Home Directories, and all I synchronize is ~ at login and logout. I've had a very hard time getting the International Settings (specifically the date and time format) to stick as people logout and then log back in. I've had similar trouble with making the default page size A4 rather than US Letter. I THINK I've found the prefs for paper size, which is com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist and will now be testing that.
HOWEVER, I can't find which pref file it stores the International Format. I sort ~/Library/Preferences by Date Modified and watch the list as I make changes and com.apple.systempreferences keeps getting shot to the top of the list, but there is NOTHING in there reflecting the Australian format setting.
Does anyone else know how I can ALWAYS push this setting?
PowerBook G4 12" 867 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1 GB, 60 GB, AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth

For your paper format, edit the file in:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/P rintCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings
modify the default paper size entry to A4, and your machine will then use A4 system-wide for any user.

HT2529 This morning Voice Over started running on my computer, but when I go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES/INTERNATIONAL ACCESS the Voice Over option is off, so I turned it on and then off, but it's still on. What else can I do to make it stop?

This morning Voice Over started running on my computer when I turned it on. I did not turn Voice Over. Could I have hit a combination of keys on the keyboard that accidentally turned it on? When I went to System Preferences and chose Internation Access it showed that Voice Over was not even on. I turned it on and turned it off to reset it, and it is still running. How is this possible, and how to I get rid of it?
Trumpeter

I went to System Preferences, Universal Access, and then VoiceOver for the fiftieth time after you said to check VoiceOver Utility to see if I saw anything odd. On The VoiceOver screen it was actually saying that VoiceOver was on. All day the VoiceOver option was off, and the computer talked to me everytime I logged in. I tried turning it on and off and it still talked to me. Now the VoiceOver option was on, so I turned it off again. Weird! I had tried several combinations of keys again and again as the tech instructed me to do, but we couldn't turn it off, but I have to admit that after my phone went dead I tried everything I could imagine; so maybe in trying to turn the talking off I turned the VoiceOver Option on. Anyway, somewhere along the way it quite talking to me.
Let me ask you a couple of questions. When I clicked on VoiceOver Utility, after turning VoiceOver off, the screen message says: Speak the following greeting after login: Welcome to Mac OSX. VoiceOver is running. I was assuming that it meant VoiceOver was running. That is what it is saying right now. It's not talking to me anymore, but the screen says this whether the VoiceOver icon is on or off. What is this all about. Is it telling me that Voice Over is still running when I see this, or what? After all, even when the OFF icon was chosen the computer still spoke to me when I hit each key upon logging in. After you read the rest of this you will understand why I am asking if it is still running even though it's not talking to me.
There is a box that appears and says "Portable Preferences for (Jane Doe) have been detected on (JaneDoe). Would you like to use them? Always Use / No / Yes What does that mean?
Last but not least. I was looking around and was clicking on Application, Documents, etc. When I clicked on Documents, only four things came up even though there are tons of documents on my computer. All four of them have to do with VoiceOver, and they were labeled as documents. One of the documents had this in it:
SCRConfiguration Cursor Tracking KBToVO
SCRConfiguration Cursor Tracking VOToTXT
SCRConfiguration Cursor Tracking VOToKB
I'm not a computer genius, so maybe I just don't know what I'm looking at. Is it normal for something like this to be found under documents? All of these were dated today, and the problems started today. I haven't gone to bed yet, so even though it's after midnight it's still the same day to me. Anyway, none of the documents were dated before this problem started. On top of that, I have tons of documents on my computer, but when I clicked on Documents, those four are the only ones that showed up. After trying to decipher the programming language on them, I went to click on Applications and hit Documents again, and all the documents came up. I scanned the list and didn't see them, but there are so many documents on here that I haven't had time to slowly go over them to see if I missed those four documents somehow. Since then I haven't been able to get just those four to appear by themselves again.
Now, is it possible that I still have a hacker and he knows through a key logger everything I am communicating to you and the Apple Store, Maybe he did made a mistake and accidentally caused this problem, and through logging every key I have typed he has learned about his mistake and fixed it. He could still be key logging me now without me knowing it; or maybe he removed the keylogger, because he know I'm taking it in to the Apple Store and can tell them now exactly what to look for.
It is either a hacker, or I have a very vivid imagination. What do you think?

App store language ignores what is selected in System Preferences

The app store doesn't appear to honor the language I have set in System Preferences (english). I live in France (but am a native English speaker) and because I only have a French credit card, I must use a French itunes account, which automatically displays everything in French. Why is there no way to choose English as the language while using a foreign store?
It's not a huge deal (more of an annoyance), but I imagine in countries where there is more than one accepted language, this could be very difficult for some. It also makes no sense, because there is a well-defined language/locale setting in OSX that all other applications I have used correctly honor, except the App Store and the Apple Music store. Is there any way to change that? Also, if I download an expensive app, will I only get the French version of it?

I live in Italy, but I want the language for all applications to be in English.
The OS is easily configurable in English, but I could not find a way to force App Store and iTunes in English in all their components.
Note that AppStore and Itunes menus and help are presented in English, all else inside is in Italian.
I fear that, when travelling, content will change according to the country you are in.
Google has the same behaviour (presenting you the initial page in the local language), but there is a preference to set always English as the default language.
If someone knows how to configure iTunes and App Store to use English for all its text, I'll be delighted to know.

My system preferences have suddenly disappeared! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

I went to my system preferences today and they are all gone except for my language and text icon! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

Double click on the picture of the HD on your desktop, then look at the bottom of the window that opens.
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism > look atthe bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T.status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

HT5449 In my iPad I can easily switch languages by hitting the world icon. I have it set up to switch betwee english and spanish. I can use both in one document. Is there any way to do this on the mAC other than go to system preferences?

When I am dictating on my ipad, I can switch back and forth between languages by clicking the world icon. On the MAC it seems as though I have to go to system preferences and switch language there. That is a little cumbersome, Is there a way of switching on the MAC?
Paul

System Preferences/Language & Text/Input Sources - Select the languages you want and then Show Input menu in menu bar. This allows you to switch back and forth from the menu bar.

When I go "system preferences" "sound" There is no option to activate the internal speakers. How do I restore it?

When I go "system preferences" "sound" There is no option to activate the internal speakers. How do I restore it?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
3. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones.
4. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
5. Reset the NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond, In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond

When in system preferences, under languages and text, and within it in regions, there is a place where you can format numbers - or currencies by indicating that you want a dot in decimals and comma in thousands, for instance. This is in order to format numbers in calculating sheets, either in numbers of excell.
Since I have moved to Mountain Lion, this does not work. However, with an apple advisor, we were able to determine that it is not a global problem, it seems to be a problem in my computer. We found this out when we created a new administrator user as a test, and the formatting mentioned above works like a charm.
Then we tried separating all my preferencies into a untitled folder restarted and got a set of new prefernces for my own user, and the formatting required did not work.
Now I am - as you can see - quite stumped, the advisor told me it might be in the home folder, but I lost touch with him, and I am hoping that I can find SOMEONE that can help me with this issue.
Thank you

Hi there! Just reading that paragraph I hurt all over
But I got it solved and I would like to share it with you. I actually called Apple and they created a user roots, and from the library in the HD replaced the preferences. After that it worked like a charm.... But that is not all, then excel did not work, even if preferences did, so I went and uninstalled microsoft office, and reinstalled so that was that...
I use safari... I love it, but thanks for all your offers. If I even do need something, I will let you know. and PLEASE let me know if what I wrote above makes sense.... but it works
Take care

If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I currently have no sound from my internal speakers. When I go to system preferences, internal speakers is not an option - there is nothing there. What should I do to fix this?

I don't know what to do - I don't have any sound coming from my internal speakers, and with headphones there is still no sound coming out. When I go into system preferences under sound, there is nothing there - it says 'no output devices'. What should I do?

MacBook Pro model?
Hard to suggest a solution without knowing the model.
The following tips may not apply to latest MacBook Pro 13 inch model.
Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have a MacBook, so your Mac hasn't got a HDMI port and you are using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
There are some Macs which do not support sound over HDMI, and it seems that your MacBook does not support it. Read > About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters

I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.
