QWERTZ to QWERTY fix?

Hey all,
I have a German layout BB 9800 Torch model.
I am currently running 6.0.0.668,
and I can't change the keyboard layout, it only affects the virtual layout and not the button layout.
the previous version i could change it and i was sorted.
I see theres a new update?
I'll download and it and see.
but any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Hello avdzm,
Welcome to the forums.
Try uninstalling any unwanted languages to see if that corrects your issue.
On the home screen, click the Setup icon.
Click Languages > Manage Languages.
Select the languages you want to keep.
Click Update.

Qwertz vs Qwerty keyboard

i purchased a new 8900 Curve today and when i got home, discovered that the keyboard is set up as a Qwertz (never seen one before) vs Qwerty keyboard. The blackberry website (UK) shows each keyboard setup in different photos. Is there an easy way to fix this problem?

You can't. The keyboard is what it is. You bought the German version.

N97 mini language support?

For the menues the phone comes with alternative language packs, eg. German/English/French/Italian and Turkish. Another alternative is the scandinavian package. These languages ar for the menues.
Question 1. Can the keyboard layout be soft switched between e.g. qwerty/qwertz(German)/qwerty.norwegian etc? how?
Question 2. Can the speller be se to different languages?

Language packs are not available to end user to install themselves , only a Nokia care point can do it. So please visit your nearest Nokia care point and let them do it for you.

My daughter is using the MacBook with an Azerty clavier, but as she studies in Vienna, she demands to find a querty to put over the original.Exists one? In the App-store in Vienna we could not find it.

My daughter is studying in Vienna, as she works in German she needs a querty keybord, the French one is "azrty"
Exists a possibility for her -like the querty to stick over the Azerty ?
And a second question :
I'm using a Mac -"bureau" snowleopard too.
I'ld like to transfer the music of my old vinyl classical musics to CD , using the Mac.
Is it possible? ? what equipment do I need ?

You're asking two very different questions in the same thread. That's not good for you, because some people who know about digitising LPs may not be interested in questions about keyboards. Make a new topic for your second question.

The standard keyboard in Austria and Germany is QWERTZ not QWERTY. (Some people do use QWERTY, though.) So you need to make sure which one she needs. Check Wikipedia for the difference between QWERTY and QWERTZ. (If she types in German, then QWERTZ is a better choice.)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTZ>
Once you are sure which she needs, then just Google it (for QWERTZ try "keyboard mac german overlays"), or check <amazon.com>.

No QWERTY keyboard, I have a QWERTZ keyboard. Z and Y switched

I bought a Curve 8520 last week for my son. He just noticed today that the z and y are switched on the keyboard. I called the place where we bought it and they said oh yeah some are like that. I said it is a defect. I have not actually gone there to the store yet but am going tonight when my husband can go with me. Well I am in Panama and the phone says made in Hungary. They advertise a QWERTY keyboard not a QWERTZ keyboard. Anyone else have this?

It is not a defect, it is designed that way for German and Dutch language users.
Yes, many German users have that keyboard.
You cannot change it that keyboard (well you can, but the firmware within is still going to make the Z and Y keys operate as indicated on the keyboard you have not.
Return the device to where you purchased for a QWERTY keyboard device, or get your money back.

How to switch from QWERTY to QWERTZ keyboard?

Hello
I just installed the new iMac but when I've been asked on the type of keyboard I answered "Italian" by mistake.
Now some keys are not typing the right character (eg : y and z are inverted), and some others.
I would need to change this, or do it again since the beginning, but when I enter into preferences --> keyboard --> I cannot find any place where I can change that setting.
Could you please help me?
Thank
Marlène

Qwerty instead of qwertz

Hello Folks,
after updating to 10.4 I have a wrong keyboard layout in my classic environment using 9.22 (German). I have trashed all possible prefs files including the "Classic-Prefs" and keyboard prefs - with no success. This must be a problem of the classic environment since everything works fine when I boot with OS 9.2.
Does anyone have a good idea about this?
Stefan
Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Stefan, I don't know too much about that, but since no-one else jumped in before…
Please list "all possible prefs files including the "Classic-Prefs" and keyboard prefs"
Which elements are actually set to German? Just the 9 keyboard, both 9 and X systems, fonts, what?
Is this an Apple German keyboard layout, or who else's?
Classic can't switch to another language setting because OS 9 is not multi-lingual. You could install a System Folder in any one language, or separate System Folders in different languages and choose among them from Classic System Preference, but 9 and therefore Classic can't switch once it's running…
When it looks like "German" is selected does that really mean fonts look German, or is the menubar wording actually in German, or something else?

[SOLVED] Zynaddsubfx and qwerty keyboard

Hello guys and girls!
I have a little trouble with zynaddsubfx For a long time I was having fun with Zynaddsubfx and his awesome synths. I don't have any real musical (midi or usb, no matter) keyboard and i played sounds with general qwerty keyboard. Zynaddsubfx previously worked on windows port and some other linux-based distros on my computer (for years never modified). But now here on Arch I can't play sounds with pc keyboard . Zynaddsubfx doesn't respond on almost all keys, except "6" and "7". But it is catastrophically small amount of keys to play with
I have installed Archlinux x64 and here the list of installed packages:
zynaddsubfx 2.4.1-1
alsa-firmware 1.0.23-1
alsa-lib 1.0.23-1
alsa-oss 1.0.17-1
alsa-utils 1.0.23-2
gnome-alsamixer 0.9.6-3
alsa-plugins 1.0.23-1
lib32-alsa-lib 1.0.23-2 (lib32)
lib32-alsa-plugins 1.0.23-2 (lib32)
jack 0.118.0-3
timidity++ 2.13.2-9
fluidsynth 1.1.1-2
I think the problem is wrong keymap(?) But i don't know where to fix it
And, please, don't tell me things like "go and buy some serious stuff (midi keyboard, real synthesizer etc etc)" bcause I am not a musician and I am just having fun with Zynaddsubfx.
Thanks in advance

Haha, I found a solution
It is simple as Arch must to be
Launch [System -> Settings -> Keyboard], then move english keymap to up until english keymap will be first in the keymap's list. And wow, now zynaddsubfx works like in good old days
Thanks to all, problem officially solved
P.S yes, of course when i click piano keys with mouse sound appears

E75 rapid qwerty input

Hi everyone!
I must say I'm quite disappointed experiencing a number of annoying software bugs and overall OS instability but I really hope that they will be completely fixed in short time (I've read the E75 MAJOR UPDATE) topic.
Thank God the bluetooth connectivity bug was at last fixed recently, but another one appeared.
This time the trouble is in qwerty keyboard input. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think the bug entered in 201.12.01 firmware (now I have 202.12.01 and it still persists). The problem is that now there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY of fast typing using the
adorable qwerty keyboard. It seems that now there's some kind of key press response lag that doesn't let you to press two adjacent keys immediately one after another - the second key press is simply ignored resulting only one letter input instead of 2. For example you can't quickly type 'AS' since the 'a' and 's' keys are adjacent but there is NO problem in typing quickly 'AD' (you could easily try that yourself). Funny thing that it applies only to adjacent keys. I DO hope that it IS a bug not a new feature... and that there's a way to fix that!
Thanks in advance!

backup everything using pc suite, hard reset, and than restore everything .

Qwerty instead of Azerty before loggin in

Hi everyone,
I have a mac mini and an AZERTY keyboard, when i start my Mac mini and i type my password to access my user account my keyboard seems to be set on QWERTY (which is annoying to type my password correctly) and then once I'm logged into my account my keyboard works as normal (azerty).
I bought my mac mini in the UK and the azerty keyboard on the apple store website, my mac is configured in french and so is my keyboard.
Is there a reason why my keyboard behaves that way ??? and what is the solution to fix this little issue ?
thank you for your answers.

A good old Nokia fan.

Go to Solution.

I guess it worked..Here is what i did..explaining step by step for anyone's future reference.
Open Nokia PC suite in your PC.
Connect your Nokia Asha 200 and select Nokia Suite in phone.
Click on Back up icon(top left) in PC suite.
Select 'Backup the desired phone contents to a backup file which is saved on the PC'
Select only 'Contacts' and select where you wanna save the file.
Create a backup.
It will take few minutes .Once it is finished, then close the 'Nokia content copier'
Open Contacts in Nokia PC Suite.
Go to Edit -> Select All -> Delete.
Once everything is deleted, close down Contacts. Open the Back up(Nokia content copier) again.
Select Restore the desired phone contents from a backup file to your phone.
Select the saved file and click the next arrow below.
It will take few mintes to restore the backup. The phone will restart automatically after the process.
Once it is restarted, you are done. !
Enjoy the corrected contact book.
Thank you Abi99 for the suggesions.

5800 XM Mini-QWERTY and handwriting not available ...

Hi, just got the phone two days ago, and am really loving it. Some bugs as is expected of such a new product, but on the whole a really nice piece of kit especially for the price.
One problem though came up after I updated to the newest firmware, V 20.0.012, and now I can't use the mini-qwerty or the hand writing options in all programs, for example SMS. They appear in the list, and I can choose them, but they both just revert back to the full screen qwerty. I know most people don't even use the mini-qwerty for anything, but I happen to like it very much, it's especially good when using Palringo, since you can see if someone writes a message to you while you're still writing yourself. The weird thing is that it still works in some programs, for example Opera Mini and Palringo. For a moment it looked like it didn't work with any of Nokia's own apps, but I've confirmed it works at least in gallery.
Is this a common problem? Any easy fixes? I've tried searching around for it, but found very little.
Also for some reason after upgrading, my screen gets like a sort of colored "overlay" (grey in the buttons turns to green, blue, red or some other color) for a while. Doesn't really do anything other than annoy, but still.
For the next update it would be nice to have it change to full screen qwerty automatically when using the phone horizontally and to either numpad or mini-qwerty when using it vertically. Also there's no point in opening the full qwerty when inputting only numerical data, like in the clock etc. Just some thoughts.
Well, I think that's about all for today, hopefully someone can come up with a solution.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay, that's odd. You should at least have the mini-qwerty, full qwerty and handwriting option for SMS-ing. That's the whole point of having those features.
I have the same version and I can use all of those features, including the alphanumeric keypad.
Works for calendar stuff, web, clock, etc.
Seems like something went squiffy during your update. Try the standard troubleshooting steps below:
1. Reboot your phone: Switch the phone off. Take out the battery. Wait a few minutes. Put it back in and switch the phone on.
2. Restore original phone settings: It will be under phone settings or type *#7780# in your phone's standby mode. No data will be lost, but you will reset all your phone's settings back to the default.
3. Hard reset: AKA the 3 finger reset. Do a hard reset with the phone switched off and press the following buttons at the same time -- green "call" key, red "end call" key and camera button.).
NOTE: This will remove all personal content and data added after the original default state. So you might want to do a backup using Nokia PC Suite's Backup application and/or backup to your memory card before you do any of those step.
If all else fails, go to your Nokia Service Centre and have them reinstall the firmware for you.

Faulty QWERTY Shortcuts in Dvorak Layout?

I couldn't really find a "bug reports" forum, so hopefully this is where this goes.
I use the Dvorak keyboard layout. I do not use the "DQ" layout where Command shortcuts use a QWERTY layout. So, Command+X to cut means I press the key marked "B" on a standard Apple keyboard.
However, when I Command+Tab through my applications, I still have to press the apostrophe (the key marked "Q") to quit an application, rather than the proper "Q" key for the Dvorak layout. Also, to activate the mouse-rollover dictionary, shortcut CommandControlD, I have to press CommandControlE instead.
It would appear these particular shortcuts are detecting key presses in an International-unfriendly way. Shouldn't this be fixed?
I'm upgrading to Leopard on release day, so I will give an update if this is still a problem.

I couldn't really find a "bug reports" forum, so hopefully this is where this goes.

I would like to buy a MacBook Pro Retina 15" w QWERTY keyboard in Paris, France... do I have to add the price of an airline ticket to the US to do this?

Hi,
I hope that someone in the community can help - I called the Apply main number in the US and the guy was clueless - he was even surprised that there are different time zones in other parts of the world. Yep, I'm an American in Paris and realize that after 7 years here that I just don't want to switch to a french keyboard. I'm in the market for a new MacBook Pro Retina (I already have one but am changing jobs), but can't seem to figure out how to buy one from Paris. Apple doesn't ship outside the US...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Greg

Found some items on Google for what you can do, customize when buying, swapping out ($US200 it sounded like) so it is possible.

unfortunately it is not so easy because replacing the keyboard is like replacing the upper case!
Installing MacBook Air 13" Mid 2012 Upper Case - Use this guide to replace the upper case, including the backlit keyboard.
For information, i'm french and I have a friend that bought a US macbook pro but wanted a french AZERTY layout. If you buy a brand new one, the tip is to order the devise directly at the online apple store and to ask for the free option Canadian keyboard. Canadian keyboard are also azerty! I don't know for German layout...

The apple.ca store lists an English or French BTO option. But I don't know if that's the "real" French layout or the Quebec government's stipulated CSA layout. And maybe one with the QWERTY or maybe QWERTZ layout.
The apple.com US site lists:
Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
Keyboard (Western Spanish) & User's Guide
Keyboard (French) & User's Guide
Keyboard (Japanese) & User's Guide
Again. which French or others show what the actual keyboard layout will be or look like.
But buy the MB Air in France and other European countries and the choice and keyboard layout changes again, and most likely the France purchase will have the AZERTY KEYBOARD layout.
No mention I could find of the variations of the "Enter" key differences.
