Ukrainian and English keyboard switching

I have a Logitech Ukrainian English Keyboard, and I have the Ukrainian language keyboard input set in my preferences. For some reason when I am typing in Ukrainian and I need to position my cursor back a space or several to fix a mistake the language defaults to English and I must manually go back and switch back to Ukrainian.
Now I also have a Apple Russian/English Keyboard and the same problem.
I type my documents in multi languages (sometimes), and it is most annoying when I switch to Russian or Ukrainian and go back to do and edit to have it default back to English.
What can I do to keep the language up until I decide to change it not the Mac???
Thanks in advance!

On a side note: Every PC Clone shop I have visited has a zillion PC's, but they will install your software for you and for some reason you never get the disks... lol
They have tons of printers but finding the ink to replace is difficult if you are looking for Epson or HP, but if you want ColorWay or some other after market ink well no problem.
Paper? We don't have Office Depot types of stores.
PC Games or Movie DVDs? Are all pirated, or you can download them for free of the net here in Ukraine.
Finding an original un opened factory sealed copy of Windows 7 took a week of searching in my town, it was only available in Russian (not even Ukrainian which I would have preferred over Russian) the chain store had one copy of each version and Ultimate was $380 or 3000UAH.
At one of the 4 stores in Kiev (iStore) that sells Macs only, I scored iPods, Snow Lep in Russian, and Apple Keyboards all from Apple and factory sealed. They have iPads and minimal support for repair of the products they stock, so it is not so bad, but Kiev is an hour away by bus. Longer on donkey cart. NO iPhones.
So in the end, if the only real problem I have ever had with any of my Macs is the stupid keyboard switching back and forth on occasion, I guess I can't really complain. For all of these years they have been hassle free, two virus attacks since 1984. Two actual hardware failures since 1984 ... I buy new iMacs when I feel the need to go shopping or something looks just too good to pass up.
My internet DSL Line is about as slow as a dead cow dragging a dead elephant up a 50% grade hill. My actual telephone lines were laid by the Soviets over 40 years ago. I make my own vodka!
Thanks for your help!!! It was much appreciated.

Buy mac air with Arabic and English keyboard

would like to buy mac air with Arabic and English keyboard?
can u guid me

Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store. So to find out whether you can buy something, you need to contact stores or consult their websites in the country where you live directly yourself.
Since you did not say where you live, it is hard to provide much further help. If you live in the US, you can go to the web page for the online store and order this machine with an Arabic keyboard. But they will not ship outside the US, and every store is different.
Arabic keyboards always have English on them too. Otherwise you could not type email or web addresses.

German and English keyboards?

Does anyone know how to set up a German keyboard option in my Macbook Air? I can not find a solution online. I need to be able to toggle between Englsih and German. Thanks.

Go to System Preferences -> Language and text->Input Sources Tab. Then select the Input source you like. A small icon will appear in the menu bar, you can switch the input source type there.

English keyboard instead of french !

When I enter a caption in LR (french version), "a" is entered instead of "q" and "q" instead of "a".
On english keyboard, first letter is "q" on first raw and "a" in second raw.
On french one, first letter is "a" on first raw and "q" in second raw.
So, it seems that LR works as if I had an english keyboard.
Of course, others softwares (Word, Photoshop...) dont make this mistake...
Does anybody knows what I am doing wrong ?

Sorry I can't be more precise but I'm sitting on a German PC and it took me ages to find it the first time round. However, in XP there are 2 ways to change the layout of your keyboard. The first (and only if you have in the Taskbar (bottom right) a small icon indicating which language your keyboard currently is set to. By right clicking on this you can bring up a menu in which you can add another language. I regularly switch between a German and English keyboard and have set a keyboard shortcut (Alt + Shift) to do this. You can also set your own preference within the menu. If the current keyboard setting is not present in the Taskbar than I'm afraid you'll have to go diving in the Help file - changing keyboard - or something like that. Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time - it is there, it is an option, you'll just have to find it.

How to get back to English keyboard?

By mistake I tapped the "International" key and the keyboard switched to Chinese. Is there a quick way to get back to English without cycling thru all the other keyboards? (Everything else is still in English; only the keyboard is changed.)

Yes it is. It will cycle through whichever Keyboards you have configured or as you put it are "active".
I have 3 keyboards configured. English, spanish, and Emoji. When I hold it down only those 3 keyboards appear. It doesn't show the entire list of available keyboard formats and layouts that the iPad can handle.
My "configured" and your "active" mean the same thing.
Which is why I suggested the poster just tap the key again. Unless they have every supported keyboard configured / active then in at most a couple of taps it should return to the original keyboard layout.
Yes the Tap and Hold also works.

How do I switch through the English and Spanish keyboards on my ipod touch while I am typing instead of stopping and going into settings?

I went into settings and added the Spanish keyboard on to my ipod touch. But here's the thing. If I have the keyboard in English, while I am typing I can't use any Spanish because it wants to correct all my words and turn them into English words, and this happens vice versa when typing in Spanish and it makes corrections in English. When I type I am constantly switching back and forth between Spanish and English. Is there any way to change the keyboard language while I am at the typing screen? For example on my Samsung Galaxy 4g, all I have to do when I want to switch languages is swipe my finger on the space bar key from left to right. That way I don't have to stop writing, go into the phone settings and find the language and switch it, slowing me down considerably because I would have to stop every few minutes. Is there no way to do something like this on my ipod touch??

Use the Globe key. Hold it down and you will get a list, or just hit it to switch.
The Globe key should appear if you have more than one keyboard chosen in settings.

Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone. I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default. In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default. Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen. I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password. Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone. I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots. Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay. I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query. After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer... I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
Here's what I found out... If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer. After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work... This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up. If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it. Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
Good luck!

Switching Chinese and English input

Hi All,
I recently purchased Q10 and quite happy with it. Last night I received OTA update for 10.2.1. After this update, there is an issue of switching between Chinese stroke input and English. It happened that sometimes i cannot type chinese after switching several times between languages. Although I can still type chinese with handwriting, typing stroke is more convenient for me. Would there be any solution to fix such bug?
Thanks

Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

Hi, Derek -
...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

I've just rented Monsters vs Aliens on my Apple TV 3 and once we switched to default language - Russian we have experienced major lag in sound, apx. 1 sec delay with the picture. English soundtrack works fine, once we put Russian back - the delay is back.

PS. Just bought the Monster's Inc. and Russian soundtrack works fine.

Agreed! This bug with the ringtone delay (№4.1) is really annoying

English keyboard and using austrian/german characters?

I got my MacBook Pro from the United States but now I got back to Austria. my problem is that I don't have specific characters listed on my English (US) keyboard, such as Ä,Ü, and Ö ( and the lowercase ones too) to do my work here.
I only need those letters since all the other characters (except the Euro-symbol) are on it. Instead of writing Ä, I have to write Ae, i.e. instead of Äpfel, I can only write Aepfel, which looks very ugly. But right now I havent found a way yet to write those letters without having to copy it from somewhere else (it also takes too much time).
I thought about something liek shortcuts but that would probably interfere with other shortcuts. But how about a program that automatically changes Ae (or ae or AE) into Ä?
Or is there a way to change the function of the second 'option/alt' button? Because I never really use the second one and I thought that it also should have a job.
Or would an applescript do it? I've never tried to create one or even thought about trying to make one even thought it seems to look pretty easy. I just dont have the time to learn it...
Btw, Ü = ue, and Ö = oe
Thank you for you help!

Thank you for your answer. I tried this before and that's actually alright but its like...I am already used to the U.S. keyboard (like those "~!@#$%^&*()_+"-characters are on different positions; Z is on the Y and Y on the Z button) that I don't really want to have to ook at the keyboard viewer all the time. That does not make me write much faster if I have to look up for the ä,ö, and ü (last time I forgot ß). On the other side, if I would be able just to write ae instead of ä it would be much more faster then to 'click-in-menu-bar-to-change-keyboard-layout-and-try-to-find-those-****-charact ers-and-change-keyboard-layout-to-back-to-U.S." way.
The best way would be a little app, running in the background, automatically changing EVERY ae to ä,oe to Ö, and ue to ü. But at least that should work in Office, which I haven't figured out yet.
Another reason why I don't want to use the german/austrian keyboard layout all the time: I have the US keyboard right in front of me, which is probably the most used one in the world (at least I think so) and I am not going to use the german/austrian keyboard in the very near future.
When I write e-mails or so in german, I always use ue cause it just cost too much time to write it the other way.

To switch off the monitor and the keyboard lights?

Hello,
Is it possible to switch off the monitor and the keyboard lights of a MacBook Air while I'm using it at home with an external monitor and keyboard?
Many thanks in advance!
manoka

You can turn off the keyboard lights by unchecking System Preferences > Keyboard > keyboard tab > Automatically illuminate keyboard in low light. Then use F5 to lower the keyboard to off.
The Monitor can't be switched off but can be reduced to almost off using the F1 key.
