Problems trying to use simplified Chinese input

I went to System Preferences > International > Input > Checked the box labeled "simplified chinese" and all the secondary boxes and yet when I try to switch to Chinese using the input menu the options for Chinese are faded and unclickable. Is there anything I should install?

Does this happen in TextEdit?  If not, what apps?

  • Simplified Chinese input problem

    I recently update mac air, but the simplified Chinese input is disabled. Can someone help please?
    Thank you!

    Go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and try deleting your Chinese input sources.  Then restart and try adding them back in.
    A further approach is to reinstall you OS.
    OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

  • Mac App Store Hong Kong uses Simplified Chinese!!! No more Traditional Chinese?  Why?

    I entered the Mac App Store Hong Kong using my Hong Kong Apple ID.  I was expecting to see the names and descriptions of apps  to be using Traditional Chinese characters.  But what I saw was Simplified Chinese instead.
    How can I turn them back to Traditional Chinese? 

    I was talking about the OS X App Store on Mac, not the iOS App Store that you showed on iTunes.
    While the mainland China has simplified Chinese and made Simplified Chinese commonly used in mainland China, Hong Kong has remained its traditional learning, teaching and using Traditional Chinese as the dominant and main written language in all non-English newspapers in Hong Kong and the education environment.  In addition, the phrases in Traditional Chinese are not the same as those in Simplified Chinese.
    Thus, while the OS X App Store in mainland China is using Simplified Chinese, the OS X App Store in Hong Kong should be provided in Traditional Chinese.

  • Could not find Simplified Chinese input method when using FormsCentral

    Hi
    When I creating files using FormsCentral, I could not find the input method of Simplified Chinese, therefore, the document I created look strange. The font is not what I wanted but I really could not find Simplified Chinese to edit the document.  Could anyone please show me how should I do it or where I can download the font pack?

    We currently do not support Chinese forms.

  • Simplified Chinese input

    I selected simplified Chinese as a possible input in system preferences, but when I select it to type something, I just get something like this >> sadfkl.  I don't get a list of possible characters. I tried it with traditional Chinese but that works fine.  Does anyone know a solution to this?

    Yes, I'm using pin yin.

    This error message is not from oracle, btu from your reporting tool. it might be MS Access or whatever other tool that you use. Some of these tools want a unique value to identify the current row. The logic applied depends on the relationship of your tables. however in your case you could do it without the group by condition. THen the rowid can still be applied to your query.

  • Using Boshiamy chinese input method on iPad Mini2?

    Hi there,
    I've been struggling a lot on inputting tranditional chinese on my iPad and is wondering if the community can assist with installing or supporting the use of Boshiamy chinese input method on iPad please? There are thousands and thousands of Boshiamy users in Asia, and it'd be greatly helpful if the installation/support is enabled.
    Can someone please advise or come forward with me on this request?
    Many thanks!

  • Problems, trying to use backup from 5.1.1 iOS Gen 3 iPod does not sync music to 4th gen iOS 6 iPod.

    My 3rd Gen iPod's headphone connector is basically shot, I've had it for around if not over two years now; sometimes I'm surprised it lasted this long; since I am not one who usually listens to her music without headphones, this is problematic, .
    Luckily, a family memberI know had a gen 4 iPod, 32g, same space amount as my old one, lying around that they don't use anymore, thank goodness.
    Well, in one case, not so much. First of all, said iPod was locked with a passcode (the passcode was guessed so many times because no one could remember it, it locked permenantly) so I had to completely wipe it. However, it wasn't so bad, though all the information was lost, I could finally use iOS 6 on an iPod.
    Well, iOS turned out to be a huge problem, in the way of synicing my old backup. I have about, um, an estimated 3000 songs on my 3rd gen iPod, that of which are not all on one computer, and are from multiple computers (my desktop / laptop); I thought all the songs would transfer over with the rest of my things. I didn't think the iOS made a difference.
    Lo and behold, I was dead wrong.
    When my iPod was restored to my previous backup, it had no music, only my pictures and apps were added. I'd call 'it annoyed me' an understatement. I waited all that time for the ipod to restore and the backup to finish, only to get my one hundered pictures and two apps.
    I have tried to look up how to extract music from my iPod, but to no avail, my computer recognizes it as a camera and I can only access the picture files; the way I read you have to do it online, you must be able to actually get into the iPod's folders, besides the picture folders, and I can't seem to do that; there was an option in earlier versions of iTunes that allowed the iPod device to be displayed as something other than a camera but it no longer seems to be an option in the new iTunes.
    All the programs for extracting files, specialized for iPod file extraction, actually, cost money, which at the moment, I don't have much of, this iPod was given to me by a family member, and I'm lucky I even have it. Manual extraction is also something I've tried but failed miserably at, as mentioned earlier.
    I'm really not up for re-synching one by one, I want this to be as quick and painless as possible. I have the available GB for my 3000 songs (I checked). Most of my songs are mp3s, and some are m4as. Not everything is bought, and not everything is going to be able to be downloaded through iCloud on account of the fact that there are, uh, over 2GB worth of songs, so does anyone have any solutions to my problem here? I have over 50gb in my desktop library alone, loads more in my laptop library, and I really don't feel like separating all the songs from my previous iPod into a single playlist, if there's a more efficient, free solution out there....
    This would not have been a problem in the first place, if the passcode was not there; but blame the previous owner of the 4th gen iPod for that. She typed it so many times it locked her out. And so, I had to reset, but not without an automatic update for iOS 6, which my gen3 can't update to, because it's, well, outdated.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and update to iOS 6.1.3. You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later

  • Problems trying to use built-in OWB 11.2 on Oracle RDBMS 11.2 (64 bit)

    I recently installed Oracle Enterprise RDBMS 11.2.0.1.0 (64 bit) on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine. I'm now trying to get the built-in OWB 11.2 installation working as well. I managed to create a repository on my database using the Repository Assistant. But I can't seem to get OWB Design Center to run at all: it crashes out with a Windows message "application cannot be started" as soon as it tries to run owbclient.bat.
    I've tried starting the Control Center Service via the options on the Warehousebuilder/Admin menu, and this seems to work - at least the status comes back as "available" when I click the "Check status" button - but the Repository Browser doesn't work either: the URL looks OK but there's nothing there.
    As far as I can tell I've followed the installation/configuration steps OK, but I can't work out what else I need to install/do to get an OWB client talking to a local OWB installation on a local Oracle 11.2 database. It really shouldn't be this hard.
    Has anybody else encountered/resolved the same problems?
    Or should I just scrap my installation and start again from scratch?

    Thanks, Richard.
    I downloaded Oracle 11gR2 for 64-bit Windows only a couple of weeks ago, so I would have expected the built-in OWB client installation to be compatible with 64-bit Windows as well. Maybe that's just a crazy dream.
    In the end, I gave up on the built-in OWB. Instead, I trashed the existing OWB installation in the database completely, then installed the OWB stand-alone client in a separate home on the same machine instead, re-installing the OWB schemas etc and creating a fresh repository on the DB in the process. This seems to work so far - at least I can log in to the OWB Design Center client as my repository user, which is a major step forward.
    I dunno - I've been working with Oracle for 20 years, but their installation processes always seems to trip me up somewhere with missing components, incompatible elements, screwed up network addresses, and so on. Guess I'm just a slow learner.

  • Problems trying to use WRT320n as AP

    Hi!
    I've been messing with this for days, reading different forums with lots of tips as to how to do this.
    It's really frustrating that I can't get it to work, so i'm hoping someone will have the answer
    I have my main router, it's a modem/router setup (in one) with a LAN ip: 192.168.1.1 (standard).
    I have a ethernet cable from ethernet port 1 in my main router, and wired in ethernet port 1 on my WRT320n.
    I started off resetting my WRT320n for 30 seconds, and right after I switched the power off for another 30 seconds. (pulled the cord).
    Then I accessed the setup via my laptop which is wired.
    Started off setting up the wireless bit, same SSID, encryption and passphrase as my main router (wpa2/AES) Both mixed mode.
    Gave the router an ip: 192.168.1.2.
    Disabled DHCP.
    Basically what I want is, when the signal gets weak from my main router, the WRT320n takes over but uses the main router as DHCP.
    I can see that my device get's a LAN ip from my main router, but I have no flow what so ever.
    Can't ping anything LAN/WAN side, nothing.
    If I wire my laptop to my WRT320n router, I seem to have a connection, as I can ping both the router, and my main router but as soon as I go wireless, no flow.
    It's getting very frustrating and I honestly have no idea what to do now, so any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Krawlor, what you are trying to do is actually possible if you have a range extender instead of another router. Basically, the reason why you cannot have a seamless connection from the main router to the WRT320N is because even if they have the same SSID, they are being detected by your computer as two separate networks. What you can try to do is setup a different name instead for both networks and set your computer to connect automatically to both. That way, you can identify which one is which and the computer will just  be able to connect to the nearest network without you doing it manually.
