Rosetta stone and my keyboard

ok. yesterday i started using Rosetta Stone with the Japanese language. i went to the typing lesson. there is a virtual keyboard on the screen which looks just like my english keyboard.it worked fine until i quit the program.
now my number keys and qwerty row think they're the same keys and come out like this:
q1,w2,e3,r4,t5,y6,u,i8,o9,0
i'd think it had something to do with the little bit of water i spilled on the keyboard the day before but it was working fine for the 24 hours afterward and only started malfunctioning after i used the rosetta stone typing lesson.
please help, i'm running out of ideas and it takes forever to type anything because i have to go back and delete the numbers.

if it was the water, then the problem would have begun immediately. Right?
Wrong. One of the reasons liquid spills cause damage is corrosion, and that takes a little bit of time (several hours to a few days) to develop, after the liquid has evaporated. It's +most likely+ the liquid, not the software, which is just a coincidence.
There's an easy test - create a new user and log in as that user. If it's a software problem, the keys should behave normally in the new user, and aberrantly when logged in as yourself.

HT2995 need help connecting headset with Macbook Pro am using Rosetta Stone and my Mac tells me the internal microphone is being used though I have changed the internal and external settings.

I'm a first time user of apple support.
Have attempted to set up headset to use Rosetta stone.

Hello & a warm welcome!
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

How do i get Rosetta stone to recognize capital letters in Rosetta stone

Yeah, so how does this happen? Capitals worked with a PC, but not w/mac. any help?

I second shldr2thewheel.
I use Rosetta Stone and have no issues getting capital letteres recognized.
But in the "writing" lessons the "soft keyboard" has a "shift" key for making the capital letters available.

Rosetta Stone (v.4.1.15) Error 8111 under Mountain Lion

When launching Rosetta Stone v. 4.1.15 under OS X Mountain Lion, I'm getting the following error during the license verification process:
"8111 There was a minor error. Click OK to continue. -1"
Before I upgraded my Mac from Lion (where Rosetta Stone was working) to Mountain Lion, I had replaced my hard drive on the Mac. So, I first powered down my Mac and pulled out the existing drive with Lion and working Rosetta Stone on it and replaced it with a brand new hard drive (larger capacity). Then I installed Mountain Lion on the new drive. Then I used the existing Time Machine backup and Time Machine restore function of Mac OS to bring personal files, applications, and settings from the backup (made in Lion) into the newly installed Mountain Lion. Every other application (besides Rosetta Stone) that I had installed under Lion worked in Mountain Lion after this process was completed.
I called Rosetta Stone support, and the gentlemen I spoke with thought that the problem was due to me not having deactivated the license under Lion, so the Rosetta Stone license verification server was thinking that I was trying to activate Rosetta stone on a third computer with the same Activation Code. So today I decided to boot up my Mac with the old drive that still has Lion installed on it. Once my Mac booted up, I launched Rosetta Stone, and the license verification completed normally, so I was able to use Rosetta Stone. Then I deactivated the Rosetta Stone license under Lion and received a Deactivation Code. After that, I was given a confirmation message that the deactivation succeeded. Then, I booted my Mac into Mountain Lion, launched Rosetta Stone, entered the Activation Code, and received the same exact 8111 error. I have now tried to activate the Rosetta Stone license under Mountain Lion several times, and I keep getting the same 8111 error.
So, the problem was not with Rosetta Stone license verification server thinking that I was trying to activate a third computer with the same Activation Code. Before I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I had Rosetta Stone software activated on two Macs with the same Activation Code. I am NOT trying to install this software on a third Mac. I am trying to run it on the same Mac that I was running it before I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion.
To me it looks like there is a problem between Rosetta Stone and Mountain Lion in that for some reason the verification of Rosetta Stone Activation Code is failing under Mountain Lion, whereas it is working fine under Lion.

After several days of going back and forth with Rosetta Stone support, and their useless advice, I finally figured out how to get Rosetta Stone TOTALe 4 to work under OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. Below are the instructions; follow them attentively, and you should get Rosetta Stone TOTALe 4 working under Mountain Lion.
Getting Rosetta Stone 4 to work under OS 10.8 Mountain Lion
1. Download the Rosetta Stone package from http://www.rosettastone.com/v4upgrade
2. In the Finder, search for "rosetta stone kind:app" without quotes.
3. Drag the "Rosetta Stone TOTALe" application to Trash. This is your existing installation of Rosetta Stone TOTALe that doesn't work under Mountain Lion.
4. In the Finder, go to /Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone/TOTALe and locate the file "tracking.db3" (without quotes).
5. Select this file and hit the "Return" key on the keyboard.
6. Rename this file to "tracking-backup.db3" (without quotes).
7. Click on Apple, click on System Preferences and go to Security and Privacy > General; under "Allow applications downloaded from:" select "Anywhere".
8. Go to the Downloads folder and find the file "Rosetta_Stone_TOTALe.dmg" (without quotes) that was downloaded in Step 1.
9. Double-click on this file. Then in the window that opens, double-click on the "Rosetta Stone TOTALe.mpkg" file (without quotes).
10. Install the Rosetta Stone TOTALe application.
11. In the Finder, locate the mounted package with the Rosetta Stone installer and eject it. (This step is important in order to be able to locate the updater package later on.)
12. Quit the Rosetta Stone TOTALe application.
13 In the Spotlight or Finder, search for "rosetta stone kind:app" without quotes.
14. Launch the newly installed Rosetta Stone TOTALe application.
15. The application will prompt you to download an update.
16. Agree to downloading the update and wait until the download is finished.
17. The application will tell you that the update was downloaded successfully and that once you hit "OK" it will launch the updater. However, it does not launch the updater. Instead, you should open the Finder, and under DEVICES locate the mounted updater package.
18. Click on the mounted updater package and run the updater application.
19. Once the updater application finishes, quit it.
20. In the Spotlight or Finder, search for "rosetta stone kind:app" without quotes.
21. Launch the newly updated Rosetta Stone TOTALe applicatoin.
22. You will be prompted for the activation key. Enter the activation key that came with your Rosetta Stone Software.
23. Quit the Rosetta Stone TOTALe application.
24. In the Finder, go to /Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone/TOTALe and locate the file "tracking.db3" (without quotes).
25. Drag the "tracking.db3" file to Trash.
26. In the same location (/Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone/TOTALe), find the "tracking-backup.db3" file, select it, and press "Return".
27. Rename the "tracking-backup.db3" file to "tracking.db3".
28. In the Spotlight or Finder, search for "rosetta stone kind:app" without quotes.
29. Click on the Rosetta Stone TOTALe application. It should launch with the user progress that you had before you upgraded to OS 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Rosetta Stone not working?

Hello
I just downloaded Rosetta Stone and installed it. However, whenever I open it up it asks me to update it and I do. It then says it will restart itself but it only shuts down and does not reopen. If I click it to reopen it manually it just asks me to install the same update again and it's like one big loop. Please help!
Thanks

Macbook OS X Yosemite - Logitech headset output audio not working with Rosetta Stone

So I got my macbook air 2014 with Yosemite software and I installed Rosetta Stone and I couldn't get the Logitech Headset (H540) to get the output audio through it. The software will accept the microphone audio, but it will send the output audio throughout the internal speakers of my macbook air, or even worse, it will freeze the program until I disconnected the headset (as soon as I unplugged it from the usb, the software will continue like a nothing was going on).
So I look in dozens of webpages trying to find a solution, but I there was none. I read that for some people creating a "multi-output device" in audio midi resolved the issue, but for most people including myself, it didn't work.
So after trying different options in the Audio MIDI setups, I found the solution!! : If you change the "format" from the default 16000.00 Hz to one higher, it will work like a charm! Now everything is working perfectly for me, including the main reason of this research: Rosetta Stone program.
I hope this post helps and saves a lot of time to any of you having this same problem.
If any other questions (or thanks ) reply to this post.

This is great! I've got one follow-on problem to this, though: My format rate seems to keep snapping back to 16000, and breaking until I go back and fix it again (32000 works fine for me). Any idea how to twiddle things so that 32000 is the default for my device?

I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5). It says it "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Is there any way to install?

I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5)
Any suggestions?
The message says "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
Thanks!

Thank you... spoke to Rosetta Stone and they said the same thing, and the give a nice discount when upgrading.
Normally 5 levels of a language run about $479. When upgrading, you can get the same 5 levels for $199.
Fewer levels costs even less.

10.5.7 update messes up speech recogniton component of rosetta stone

I've been using Rosetta Stone for a while and there is a speech component to the program where, via the built in mic or a usb headset, you speak when prompted and the program analyzes your voice and tells you if your pronunciation is correct. With OS X 10.5.6 this particular component worked fine, but after installing the update the program now has a slower response time to my voice and more often than not incorrectly analyzes what I've said, requiring that I repeat each exercise about a half-dozen times before getting it right. I thought it was a problem with the program, but I was informed that this is an issue with version 10.5.7 and not Rosetta Stone, and that complaints have been spotted in forums having nothing to do with the Rosetta Stone software.
Could this be a bug with the update? If so, can someone direct me as to how to get a message to those responsible for correcting them. Thanks.

"OK, for the Extigy issue ... it seems I have found a workaround.
Go to /System/Library/Extensions. There is a kernel extension for USB Audio, named AppleUSBAudio.kext.
10.5.6 contains version 2.6.0b11 of that module.
The 10.5.7. upgrade installs a new version, 2.6.4b11. Using a time machine backup

The solution is not trivial and there is no guarantee it will fix your issue, but it might.

Adobe air won't interface with rosetta totale and mac 10.6.8

I am having issues with adobe air. It just started about two weeks ago. I installed rosetta stone and can't get rosetta to run at all on my mac version 10.6.8. It says the adobe air is not a good file and to contact adminstrator. I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled. I don't know what to do and I don't know some of the language on these boards (ie. this file says, blah, blah, blah) just tell me what I need to do please

When you've reinstalled AIR (http://get.adobe.com/air) does the installer give you any errors or does it complete successfully? Would you be willing to try installing another AIR application to verify that the AIR runtime is working properly? If so, please download TweetDeck and double click the .air file to install. Feel free to delete the application once you've verified that it installed and ran correctly at least once.
Thanks,
Chris

Do i have to download vm ware fusion to activate rosetta stone?

I installed rosetta stone and tried to activate. However, a warning appearing on the screen indicated that i need to buy vm ware fusion. I am confused since rosetta stone says it work on mac. Should i buy the vm fusion or are there another way to activate rosetta stone. thanks

Yes you need antivirus. Most of us do not practice safe computing as well as does Shootist007. And there is no reason not to be as safe as possible. Use Microsoft Security Essentials. It can be downloaded from Microsoft's site and it is free. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials

Rosetta Stone Question

I have Rosetta Stone, Version 3 that's minimum system requirements are Mac OS 10.4. My computer's system is OS X 10.9.2, I just got this computer a couple weeks ago. I'm trying to download the Rosetta stone and it starts off working just fine but then the screen goes black and the page is mini in the upper left hand corner and I can't click on anything or go anywhere, the only thing I can do is restart my computer. Is this program just not going to work on my computer or am I doing something wrong? I don't know what else to do. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Melophage,
I looked anywhere and couldn't find anything like that. There isn't any description of the system requirements in the user guide and the only thing it says on the box is, 'Minimum System Requirements: Windows 2000, XP or Vista, Max OS 10.4, 512 MB RAM, 600 MB free hard-drive space (per level), 16 big sound card, 800x600 display resolution (1024x768 recommened), internet or phone connection required for product ectivation. Speech recognition feature requires a headset mircophone (USB) (USB recomemended)." That's all I can find.

I cannot install the language pack CDs for Rosetta Stone.

I'm trying to install the language packs of my Rosetta Stone package. The application CD installed ok, and it is running. You need to then install the language CD from inside that application. When I "add language CD", I get the error "You must have administrative permissions to use this feature." I've set all permissions for all groups the "read & write" on both the Rosetta Stone app file and the content folders. I've called Rosetta Stone and they tell me this is an Apple problem. Help please! I'm getting really, really frustrated with this!
I'm on an iMac, OS X 10.9.5
Thanks.

Frank,
so, I did search for the directory Language Training - it doesn't exist on my system. As an experiment, I manually added the directory and gave it read/write permissions. Rosetta still couldn't install the language CD. I've cut and pasted the permissions below of the Rosetta Stone directory as well as the bin directory. I wonder if I'm having this problem because I'm trying to install Rosetta Stone Version 3? That is the latest version that allows for homeschooling.

How do I install Rosetta Stone onto my Macbook running OSX 10.8 when installing it I go into the folder called For MAC Users and the files in there are .exe files which cant be open on a Mac. If anyone has a solution or even a download link let me know.

This is really frustrating please let me know I looked around and all the downloads cost money and I would prefer if you guys could give me a free one but a solution would be even better!!
Thanks

You have the Windows version of the software. You will need to contact Rosetta Stone directly to get the Mac version of their software. I can confirm it does install on Mountain Lion without issues.

Issue with Adobe Air and Rosetta Stone in Mountain Lion.

After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to open Rosetta Stone. I was directed to update and install adobe air. I did that, then tried to open Rosetta Stone again and it said the installation of Adobe Air was damaged. I went to Adobe to reinstall and it said it's already installed. I'm now stuck in a circle...Help!

I also found this page from the Rosetta Stone site very helpful.
It was more helpful than anything on the Adobe site.

Hope others find it helpful to avoid the stress I encountered.

My Mac Book Pro using Mountain Lion will show a usb headset with a mic to select in the settings window. But the Rosetta Stone software I am using will not find the mic for me to select and use. What should I do?

Mac Book Pro with OS X Mountain Lion will not recognize headset mic via Rosetta Stone software. What should I do?

Hi Illaass,
I am using version 3. I have used the apple/settings on my mac. The headset is appearing there and it is selected there. In the Rosetta Stone select/find window nothing shows up. It is blank. But the volume bars react when I speak and sliding the fader has the expected effect of raising and lowering the input. There is just no device showing up as the selected input device in the Rosetta Stone software.
I have done everything my Mac instructions say to uninstall and reinstall the Rosetta Stone software properly.
I'm guessing the problem may be in the licensing. I installed it first on the old hard drive that crashed. Maybe that used the terms of the license and now installing it in the new hard drive violates the license somehow. So that's why it will not work properly. It allows me to open the lessons and asks me if I want to continue from where I left off. I click continue. Then it asks me if I want to register the software. I click the tab for already registered software and click continue. Then nothing happens. So again I click on the button that indicates I want to continue lessons from where I left off. The same process happens with it asking me if I want to register the software. And it will not proceed through a lesson.
