Is it possible (simply) to change an iMac from French OS and keyboard to English OS and QWERTY keyboard?

I am in the process of changing my computer and would like to buy an iMac. I live in France but want to buy an iMac with English OS and a qwerty keyboard. Is it possible (simply, and I mean simply) to change an iMac from French OS and keyboard to English OS and QWERTY keyboard?

My french keyboard is azerty, it changes alone without my intervention in a qwerty one ? why ?

Hi, could you help me ?
OS X 10.8.5 ; early 2011.
When I wanted to enter my personnal user code, I can't, because the keyboard has changed "alone" I didn't do anything special. My original keyboard is French AZERTY, it changes alone to a QWERTY?
Someone could help me ?
thanks.

Hello over here,
The steps below detail how to place an input chooser that will allow for the adjustment of your keyboard layout while on the login screen.
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click Users & Groups to display the pane (or choose User & Groups from the View menu).
If the lock icon in the lower-left corner of the window is closed, click it, then enter the name and password of an administrator to unlock it.
Click Login Options.
Select the "Show Input menu in login window" checkbox.
From the Apple menu, choose Log Out.
At the login window, click the Input menu (shows the name of the currently selected input source next to a keyboard icon) in the upper-right corner of the screen, then select the desired input source or keyboard layout. If you don't see the input source you are looking for, move the pointer over Other Input Sources, then select the input source from the complete list that appears.

Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working - changed batteries still did not help

Hi
I have an Envy 20 all in one touchscreen with a wireless keyboard which has been absolutley fantastic until now. The wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working while composing an email. I replaced the batteries and checked them with a volt meter to ensure 1.5v. They are a name brand alkiline battery. I tried re-booting the computer and pressing the blue connect button under the keyboard. The only keys that seem to work are the volume up/down and mute; the rest of teh keyboard does not. Any idea? I like the factory keyboard so I am hoping it is not a faulty keyboard. After market keyboards will use a USB port.
Thanks
Thor

Keyboard increment changes from 1 pt by default to 1296 0000 pt

After placing any file (using File - Place command) the values in the preference dialog box increase dramatically. E.g. Keyboard increment changes from 1 pt by default to 1296 0000 pt and Type Size/Leading from 2 pt to 72 00 pt. In short it is impossible to go on with the work.
While launching the app a message appears saying "The Preference file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings..." All my actions are also deleted.
The problem is with Illustrator CS 6 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Best I can suggest is to try uninstalling AICS6 with the Replace Preferences box checked and then reinstall.

Do you have a Japanese name? If not, you would have to make one up to type it in Kanji. What exactly are you trying to do?

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Why did the country currency suddenly changed from € to $?

hi there,
since i tried to get some songs from australia, the country currency suddenly changed into $. now, i can't buy songs at itunes anymore, which is pretty sad! does anybody know how to fix that?
thanx,
lilly

Hi Lily,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can only purchase through another country's music store if you have a billing address and a credit card in that country. So unless you have this, you are only able to purchase through the German store.
This is not the fault of Apple, it is to do with the record companies who hold the rights to the music. They decide which countries can have what.
Hope this helps
Cheers

IMAC OSX 10.7.4 Safari why does screen suddenly change to large print etc when I cam surfing the net and how do I change it back to normal size

Safari - Since changing from Leopard to OSX when surfing the net, my screen suddenly changes to large print/icons etc. How do I change it back to normal. It is driving me crazy

That's caused by the "Smart zoom" feature of the magic mouse. It's a Double tap with one finger to zoom and repeat to unzoom.
You can turn the feature off if desired in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click tab

Are you sure you want to change the extension from... BLOCKS Finder Editing

This is weird and is driving me nuts, but some Macs do not allow further Finder editing of file or folder names if I change their names (usually including numbers, dots and so on) in such a way that I receive the warning:
Are you sure you want to change the extension from..?
After I confirm that I want to change the name, the Finder does it but gets locked for editing (I can do other things) and does not allow any further file or folder editing until I force quit of Finder or reboot the Mac.
I have found that if right after confirming that I want to change the name I select the file and hit return (which selects its name), no problem arises. But I must do it in one or two seconds, or else it will be too late.
IN SUMMARY:
1. Change file or folder name including numbers and dots at the end.
2. Get the message "Are you sure you want to change the extension from..."
3. Confirm that I want to change the name.
4. FROM NOW ON, I CANNOT CHANGE THE NAME OF ANY FILE OR FOLDER UNTIL I FORCE FINDER QUIT. Unless of course I do the trick indicated above real quick!
Any hint? Any way to know what is going on? This could be a bug of Mac OS X 10.4.x or earlier or a problem with a third party application. But how to know what is going on to prevent it? As said, some Macs show this issue, but not others.
Note: some related issues on this section searching for:
Finder Loses Keyboard Input
or
Sure change extension
For instance:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1974048
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1466505
Hint: some file or folder name changes are more prone to cause the issue than others. For instance, renaming a folder (and confirming it) as:
Testing.r00
brings the bug 100% of the times.
Any idea of what is going on? Thanks.

The message is a warning that you are doing something that the OS thinks is going to possibly cause a problem. You are creating the situation and the OS is doing nothing other than what you are asking it to do.
I don't know any exact answer why you can't access your files, but I do know that there are a few characters and things that will cause problems because they mimic names of invisible files. When you make a name that is close to being the same it can treat the file as the special one... meaning you can only access it via Terminal.
Ones you cannot use at all: the colon (:), slash (/), single or double period as first characters. (taken from Finder Help with a naming files search) It is best to stay away from any special characters as a rule. Also avoid using a period and 3 character suffix unless it is one that you are purposefully assigning so the file belongs to an application.
That said... even with the over 200 applications on my system I couldn't repeat your Testing.r00 problem. So, I don't know if it may be application related or not.

Modulation suddenly changed

Hello
The modulation on my homehub has suddenly changed from G.992.5 Annex A to G.992.3 Annex A and my speeds have dropped dramatically from Downstream 5,759 Kbps & Upstream 1,008 Kbps to Downstream 1,603 Kbps & Upstream 1,100 Kbps. There is apparently a telephony problem in my area affecting ISDN lines which I assume may be affecting my broadband as well. Can I assume that after this problem is fixed the modulation on my homehub and speeds will automatically revert to what they were, or will I have to do something ?
Thanks for your help

Could all this just be down to the local telephony problem ? If so will everything revert once the BT report that the have fixed the telephony problem in my area or will I have to do something to get things back to how they were ?
Thanks again

Desktop picture suddenly changed by itself

I woke up the morning turned on my mac and booted it to find that the desktop picture was the blue galaxy.
When I shut it down last night it was set to the purple nebula as far as I can recall. I havent enabled "change desktop picture every 30 minutes" so I'm very puzzled as to why it has randomly changed itself. The only I did yesterday was install a couple of Apps from the App store. A photo duplicate finder - and an application uninstaller...
I'm almost wondering if I have downloaded a trojan or back door open - ridiculous I know as my security is pretty paranoid and none of my safeguards has reported anything, nor do I get software from non official sources, but I'm at a loss to figure how this has suddenly changed iteslf... I mean computers don't do that... do they?
Anyone who can explain what has happened I will be very grateful.

There's a bug that changes the wallpaper to the default one after each startup. To test this, open System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver, and see if you can open it.
Try deleting the Desktop settings file. Open a Finder window, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart. Finally, change your background
