Uim won't switch input methods[SOLVED]

I'm probably just making a simple mistake but I'm having trouble with uim. I followed the instructions on the wiki about inputting Japanese with uim and I set mozc as the default input method. Yet when I use the keyboard shortcuts to try to switch.... Well that was weird. As I was typing this message I was suddenly given a list of Kanji to select. When I hit backspace it was gone and is now apparently not coming back. Well what I was going to say before that strange event was: I use the keyboard shortcuts but input doesn't change. Anyone have any ideas on what might be going on, what mistake I may have made?
EDIT: You know what? Now it's working. ほらほら！ Unfortunately it doesn't work in anything but my browser. Pidgin, Libre-Office, Skype... none of them want to work with it.
EDIT 2: And now, for no reason at all, it ONLY works in Pidgin, not in anything else! Or it did until I typed this line, then I randomly started typing in 日本語 again. Then, when I closed out the preference panel, it stopped working entirely. I've got the preferences open again and it STILL won't work.
EDIT 3: I'm just marking this as solved, I gave up and switched to ibus, it seems to work.

Exactly which troubleshooting steps have you tried?
Does the machine get stuck at that point or does it power off?
Do you have the original install discs?

Programmatically switch an input method on Mavericks

Hello,
I'm having a problem creating a program that switches an input method to a specified one. I have been doing some research for a while and have found this answer on the support community, but it doesn't seem to work on Mavericks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18719398. The indicator switches normally but it doesn't enable the IM (adding TISEnableInputMethod doesn't help). The IM gets enabled only when I switch out of the document and then back in.
The question on stackoverflow doesn't get any answers too: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22885767/how-to-programmatically-switch-an-in put-method-on-os-x
Did I hit a bug in the OS or is it something that I'm missing?

Hello
In order to select "Hiragana" text input source in "Kotoeri" module, you'd need to first enable Kotoeri and then select Hiragana. Something like this (provided the textinputsource executable is in the current direcory):
#!/bin/bash
./textinputsource -e "Kotoeri" -s "Hiragana"
Similarly, in order to select "Pinyin - Simplified" text input source in "Chinese - Simplified" module, use the utility like this:
#!/bin/bash
./textinputsource -e "Chinese - Simplified" -s "Pinyin - Simplified"
For those text input sources which are not nested in module, you may simply select it like this:
#!/bin/bash
./textinputsource -s "Dvorak"
Tested under 10.6.8. Don't know about 10.9.
Good luck,

I can't type with Chinese Input Methods in Mail and Notes

Today I suddenly can't type/input any word or character in Mail and Notes
when the input method switches to any Chinese input method like Zhuyin, Yahoo KeyKey and Bopomofo.
Even the cursor won't move when I press the " ↑↓←→"
The keyboard just doesn't work from " ` " to "→" when it comes to Chinese input methods.
However,
the keyboard works well as soon as I switch to English input method and I can type English in Mail and Notes.
I can type with any Chinese input methods in Chrome, TextEdit, Reminder, iPhoto, Contacts,......etc..
Is there something wrong with Mail and Notes?
Could anyone help me solve the problem?
Thank you!

Thank you, Tom.
I have posted my issue there and hope for the best
btw,
I had the same problem (cannot input any word and move the cursor with Chinese input methods) in Evernote.
Evernote Support helped me solve it.
Here is how it works (for Evernote only).
Ticket # 16051-XXXXX
We believe that reinstalling the latest Mac version may address the issue that you reported. Please perform the following steps:
Quit Evernote from the elephant icon in the Menu Bar
Drag the Evernote application to the system Trash
Reboot your Mac
Download and install the latest version of the Mac client:
http://www.evernote.com/about/download/get.php?file=EvernoteMac
When you open the download, make sure to drag the Evernote icon into the Applications folder instead of running it from within the installer package.
Eject the disk image and delete the installer file before you runEvernote.
Let us know how this works for you.
Thank you.

Bootcamp, Windows 7: EN option not showing up in input method selector

Hi,
I added a Japanese and a German input method on my Bootcamp Windows 7 install.
For some reason only JP (Japanese) and DE (German) are shown as options in the input method selector - but no EN, which should be the default...
In the settings the EN entry is shown however:
EN English (United States)
    +-+ Keyboard
        + United States (Apple)
JP Japanese
    +-+ Keyboard
        + Microsoft IME
German (Germany)
    +-+ Keyboard
        + German (Apple)
When starting up, the German keyboard is activated and there is no way to switch back to the English one.
When adding another English keyboard, US for example, an EN option is shown - but it selects the normal US keyboard and not the "United States (Apple)" one...
Any idea how to solve the problem?
Thanks, Dietrich

My iMac20 powers off by itself and won't switch back on

I'm sorry this is a bit of a saga but I'm at the end of my tether with so will be really grateful if anyone has any experience of this issue and can give me some help?
The problem started in May when, after an hour or so of use, my iMac 20 suddenly started to turn itself off and wouldn't turn back on again until the following day. This happened around half a dozen times so I took the machine to the local Apple store and was told that it was probably the thermal trip and if I removed the power cord and left it disconnected for a while, it would power up again more quickly. That evening when it cut out, I followed the advice I was given and removed the power cord from the back of the machine but it made no difference and the machine would not restart until the following morning. Back to the Apple store I went and this time they took the machine in to the workshop; a day or two later I was told that they had cleaned out the fans and tweaked some software and had run it successfully on the bench for several hours with no problem. After paying £49, I collected the machine, took it home, ran it for an hour or so and off it went again and as before, refused to turn on. Back again to the Apple store; "Had I reloaded the operating system?" Well no, because I hadn't been told that I needed to. And anyway why would I... surely the thermal cut-out was a hardware issue? The response was that the problem was definitely software-based and nothing to do with overheating or a faulty power supply unit (which was/is my favourite candidate for villain of the piece). So off home I went, backed up my stuff and ran Disc One successfully and started running Disc Two. After about 20 minutes into Disc Two the machine did its usual trick and powered off, and I went looking for a bottle of wine.
Back to the Apple store. The guy controlling the 'guest list' for the Genius Bar said that if I wanted to return the machine to the workshop that day it would be considered a new incident and there would be a further charge for any repair work. However, if I made a fresh appointment (for a couple of days later) then the work would be done as part of the previous 'repair'. Somebody at Apple really needs to look at the way the stores deal with dissatisfied customers.
So, Saturday the 11th of July arrives and I head back to the Genius Bar for my free appointment. I explained to a very helpful guy that this is my fifth visit and I would like to get to the bottom of the problem. He referred to the tech person who dealt with the original workshop repair and she came out to explain that the issue is caused by 'something' lurking in my Library folder and that if I wipe my hard drive and re-install the OS from scratch but without the Library folder, the problem should be solved.
I spent Sunday wiping the hard drive, running the OS discs and then reinstating my iTunes, photos etc and waiting for the machine to turn itself off - but it didn't! I left my external hard drive returning all my files and documents overnight and when I woke up on Monday, everything was still up and running... bliss!
Then, this afternoon, after downing loading a music file in flac format, I found that it wouldn't go into iTunes without the help of Fluke software. I downloaded the Fluke stuff and then as I dragged the flac file into iTunes - boof! The machine went off and won't switch back on again.
So finally... has anyone seen any similar behaviour with their iMac and was it caused by software or hardware? And if it is software that's causing the problem, why can't I switch the machine on again immediately?
,

Amsys plc, the company Apple uses for off-site repairs returned my iMac20 today and the accompanying advice note states that the fault was resolved by replacing the power supply unit. I am really grateful to Apple for finally getting to the bottom of the problem, particularly as the repair was done free of charge, although I had already paid £49 for a useless workshop investigation at the Kingston store. The service given by Amsys was exemplary... the collection and return of the machine was carried out at the times promised and whenever I contacted the company by phone, each person I spoke to seemed to have knowledge of the repair without having to refer to the case notes (and none of the 'press 1 for service, 2 for sales...' rubbish).
So once again BDAqua, many thanks for suggesting I call Apple... it's just a shame that the staff of the Kingston store refused to accept what was obvious to me.

Psc won't switch from copy to print

I so need help! My hp psc 750 won't switch from copy mode to print mode. I have a job I need to print and when I go to print it, it says printer error and puts my print job in queue. Nothing is waiting to copy, it just won't go to print mode. Help please!!!

I would start by checking the USB cable is connected between the printer and computer. Next make sure the printer driver is installed and that the printer is not set to "use printer offline".

How to STOP OS X from automatically changing between language input methods

I want to know if there is a way in OS X Leopard to stop the system from automatically changing the language input method. I use English and Japanese on my computer, but this would apply to anyone using more than one input method.
For example, when I click on a Japanese-language file, the system automatically changes input to Kotoeri (the Japanese-language input method). When I then click on an English-language file it usually, but not always, changes back to English input. But I almost never want to TYPE in Japanese. I just need to be able to read Japanese and to cut and paste from Japanese language files. It is very annoying when I start typing in an English-language file and find the input method has been changed to kotoeri without me realizing it—everything comes out in meaningless Japanese. When I want to type in Japanese, I want to manually change to the Japanese input system. That is, I want English to always be the default input method even if I am manipulating Japanese-language files.
So, I’m wondering if there’s a way to set the computer so that it never AUTOMATICALLY switches between the input methods. I want to be able to switch only manually. In the old days of System 7, 8, and 9, there was a third-party control panel you could get that would do this (I think it was called Stay There!) and I don't remember this being a problem in Tiger or earlier versions of OS X. Is anyone aware of any way to do this in Leopard?
Thank you!
Colin

Well, I do have it set that way, and I can look up there to see where I am, but in the work I do time is critical and I move back and forth between the two languages frequently. It is really a pain and a waste of time to have to look and make a change that should be unnecessary. The problem is not so much that I don't know where I am. It's that I don't want to ever have to think I MIGHT be in anything but English input unless I specifically want to be. In other words, I need to be able to forget about this problem even being a possibility.

How can I keep my original keyboard mapping in different input methods?

Hi!
i have a question about my keyboard mapping. my powerbook has a german keyboard. and i switch frequently my input methods between german and simplified chinese(ITABC), which was all fine. but after upgrading to Leopard, when i switch to ITABC input method, my keyboard mapping changed along with this input method to chinese keyboard mapping! which annoys me a lot! this did not happen before when i was in Tiger!
could someone please tell me how to keep my original keyboard mapping (at least the alphabets) when i switch to ITABC?
Thanks a lot!

in german input, the key "Y" and "Z" are opposite comparing with normal english keyboard. and in chinese input method, the "y" and "z" are mapped just as normal english keyboard.
what happens now is, in ITABC input method, "y" and "z" are mapped as normal english keyboard, which is not like that before when i was using tiger.
Thanks for the info! You should definitely ask about this on the Chinese-Mac list. Keyboard mapping with the Apple Chinese IM's has long been a problem, and is one reason many people are moving to QIM:
http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/pages/input_methods.html#other
I suspect something has changed in the Chinese IM with Leopard to mess this up for you, and it may not be fixable.

Problem in batch input method

Hi wizards,
please help me for the following problem:
I have created a parent recording for MATERIAL MASTER in LSMW batch input method by selecting all of the fields that may be required for different material types. Now I want to edit the recording and create new recordings from the parent one for specific material types. For this, i have made a copy of the same recording with a different name in the same project. In the copied recording, i have kept only the screen fields which i require for a particular material type and deleted the rest. I have created new structure relationships and field mapping rules for the new recording. Now when i upload the data, system is behaving normally upto the DISPLAY READ DATA stage, but gives a short dump on CONVERT DATA. On inspection i have found that during FIELD MAPPING, the _source field mapping is still showing mapping with the source structure of the parent recording for fields which have mapping rule as "Transfer" but it is picking up the new source structure for those source fields for which mapping rule is "Constant"_.
Kindly help me solve this problem as i do not want to create a separate recording for each material type. Can creating a new subproject help in this regard?
Thanks and regards
Abhik

Hi Harris,
could you please let me know how to use the two methods you have mentioned? If you have any docs regarding the same then could you please mail it to me at [email protected]? Or else if you have any link for the same then please do send it to me.
However, I would like to know that if separate recording is required for every material type, then why the "COPY RECORDING" and "DELETE SCREENFIELD" utilities have been provided.
Thanks and regards
Abhik

Should Arch have a common input method ?

Should Arch have a common input method ?
Arch is a really great distro,so I think there are a lots of arch users all over the world.
And I believe that more and more people will know Arch,use Arch,Love to use Arch
But I am curious about that : everyone use english only? Just input English only?
For me I need a input method to input Chinese in gedit,gnome-terminal,openoffice and so on.
I guess some users( in particular for non-English users) also need it for their own language.
So I eager hope Arch will official have common method support.
And SCIM is a good choice--Smart Common Input Method.
Old Homepage http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/scim
New homepage http://www.scim-im.org/
And http://sourceforge.net/projects/scim/
SCIM is the defaults Chinene input moethod in SUSE Mandriva(formerly mandrake),and included in Fedoa's Repo.
Tt also is the defauls input moethod for CJK(Chinese/Korea/Japanese) users,SCIM supports a large
number of input methods in a bunch of languages,and trying to enumerate all the input method
engines and their corresponding languages.
scim- scim is the core package, which provides the fundamental routines and data types
skim - An input method based on SCIM library and KDE/QT.
scim-{anthy,canna,prime,skk,wnn} - IMEngines for Japanese
scim-chewing - IMEngine for Tranditional Chinese
scim-pinyin- Currently contains a Smart Pinyin IMEngine for Simplified Chinese.
scim-fcitx - fcitx ported to scim for Chinese
scim-tables - Contains many table based input methods.
scim-uim - A wrapper to use uim as an IMEngine of SCIM.
scim-m17n - A wrapper to use m17n library as an IMEngine of SCIM.
scim-qtimm - Qt-immodule support for scim.
scim-hangul - A Hangul !IMEngine which is ported from imhangul project.
scim-input-pad - scim-input-pad is an OnScreen input pad for SCIM used to input some symbols very easily

cactus wrote:@dibble: in fact, I would. Then i would set out to make the packages myself so I could use them, or try to form a group of like minded individuals to create a language specific port.
i don't want to start a massive fight about this cactus because you know I respect your views but i wonder how a group of people that require internationalization support can collaborate on a project without a common language?
We can already see that miracle is doing his best to get his point across with varying sucess, i can't imagine trying to achieve many harder things in the internet environment, never mind establishing a project. Of course this is well within the users power but i really think that in this instance non-enlgish speaking users would greatly benefit from the support of experience Arch Users who have english as first langauge.
miracle - if the PKGs are in the AUR you need to contact other arch users, possibly on the other languages forums, and tell them to vote for the scim pkgs

Third-party applications and input method in OS 10.7

After updating to OS 10.7, the input method for Spell Catcher 10.4 does not load. Application functions in every way, except that I am am no longer able to utilize the interaction feature (i.e., can't paste from Spell Catcher to text file). What is the cause of the lost interaction feature? Who is responsible, Apple or Spell Catcher?

Spell Catcher is suspiciously silent about the input problem. The head of software development responded immediately to my first inquiries, and assured me that Sell Catcher is compatible with OS 10.7. I recall reading on the Spell Catcher site that the fault was with OS 10.7. Ultimately, the Spell Catcher official stopped communicating with me via email and references to the input problem disappeared from the web site.
I'm hoping that you're wrong about who is responsible, and that a 10.7 update will solve the problem. By the way, I experienced the same input problem after installing Grammarian Pro.

Input Methods changing without permission

Hi everybody.
I use a personalized keyboard mapping. I've created it with Ukelele, put it into ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts and selected it in the System Preferences (so only my account can use this layout). Perfect.
Now, the issues:
If I use the “fast user switching” in the menu bar, my own Input Method is reverted to the default French input method. I think that is normal for this window, but if I cancel the user switching, the default French input method remains and I have to manually switch back to my personalized keyboard layout.
The same thing happens when I play “Warcraft III”: the input method is changed to the default French layout as soon as the game is launched. How can I change this behavior ?

http://parahuman.org/journal/2005/07/changing-mac-os-xs-default-keyboard.html#11 2420770366273168
