When using imessage my keyboard reverts to US

Every time I open/click on imessage my keyboard reverts to US keyboard. I have all prefs listing UK but imessage insists on reverting.
I have had this problem with Adobe Illustrator CC and the support team sorted it out but i dont know how!
This is very irritating! Please let me know if any easy ways to sort this bug out.
Many thanks!

Hi,
I notice that in Messages 8 in Yosemite that the Edit Menu > Spelling section does not include a Dictionary choice now.
You used to have to specify some apps specifically to use  British English Dictionary.
I have never had an issue where the keyboard seems to be different  such as Shift 3 being the US # symbol and not the British £ and other such changes.
I take you mean System Preferences > Keyboards is set to British English ?

  • HT201178 when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

    when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

  • How to switch the keyboard language when using a bluetooth keyboard?

    When using the on-screen keyboard I have the little globe to switch languages, but when using a bluetooth keyboard the on-screen keyboard is hiden.
    I want to be able to write in different languages using the bluetooth keyboard, also the auto-correct gets in the way if I write in a different language than english and it tries to change the words to the closest similar english word.
    Help!

    I see that now Tom, I'm sorry to confuse things.  I think my problem might have been that I had the keyboard too far away from the phone, and so when I looked back from the keyboard to the phone, the screen indication of the languages had already disappeared from the screen.  Because I have more than one language with Roman characters installed, I thought that no change was occurring from that sequence of commands, since I wasn't getting Korean.  But now that I see your correction, and watch the screen closely, I see that you're right.  I apologize.  (And of course, I'm grateful to have a simpler way of switching languages!)

  • Why does "Link Media" behave differently when used as a keyboard shortcut vs when right clicked???

    Not sure whether anyone else is encountering this, but the "Link Media" command behaves differently when right clicked as opposed to when used as a keyboard shortcut.
    When you right click to select that option for an offline file, you get only the corresponding disconnected source media. But when you execute "Link Media" via a keyboard shortcut, PP brings up a huge list of all other offline media. Why does it only do that when you use the keyboard shortcut for "Link Media" but not when you right click "Link Media".
    I'd like to get the Link Media command to behave via the keyboard shortcut the same way it behaves when right clicked. I don't want to have to deal with relinking a hundred other files, but just the single offline file I'm working on.

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • When using iMessage how can I make it so it shows my number not my Apple ID?

  • When using imessage with another iphone user, is it still free to message them if they're out of the country?

    my friend is out of the country, and he wants use imessage, but i dont know if it will give me charges to my account and apple doesnt mention if it's only unlimited messaging within the country

    iMessage uses data, just like an email, if I can use that analogy. It will not count as SMS, however I have read somewhere where some people have reported getting SMS charges when using iMessage. I believe it is impossible though, unless the message does not go through and you have send as SMS checked in settings if the iMessage fails.

  • When using imessage, does it count against your minutes in your plan for texting or is it totally free?

    when using imessage, dos it count against your minutes in your plan or is it totally free?

    iMessage does not use call minutes or SMS message quota in your plan.  It does use data when when the phone is connected to cellular data.  When you use WiFi, it's completely free.

  • I only see the phone numbers of my contacts when using iMessage on my MAC, whereas I see the names on my iPhone. Why, and how can I make it so I see the names (and pics) on my MAC?

    I only see the phone numbers of my contacts when using iMessage on my MAC, whereas I see the names on my iPhone. Why, and how can I make it so I see the names (and pics) on my MAC?

    Thanks Eric, but that was already turned on. I just now tried turning it off and on again, no change. Actually, I"m more interested in seeing the names than the pictures. I now only see the phone numbers and generic avatars where pics would be.

  • Charge for texts when using iMessage

    Why am I charged for texts that include photos or video when using iMessage to send or receive with other Apple products? Should the senders use an email address instead of my iPhone number? I have ATT with pay as you go texting. I'm only charged when there's a photo or video attached.

    Hi Garypsu,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if iMessages aren't sending correctly:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    If you still can't send or receive iMessages
    Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
    iPhone: Troubleshooting Cellular data
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    Step 4 above describes how to turn off having failed iMessages send as texts to prevent this from happening.
    Cheers,

  • How do I get google talk to accept my password when using imessage?

    I have both a MacBook Air and Pro using iOS X - Maverick.  For the longest I have not been able to use iMessage with Google Talk.  I need to be on Google Talk for work and decided to set it up.  I set it up, but when I shut it down and then re-open it, Google Talk will not accept my password.  When I go to Google, it indicate suspicious behavior.  I can't find anywhere that will allow me the option allow imessage to use google talk in my google settings.  Please help.

    Hi 2douglas,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the password is being rejected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • Is there a way to differentiate from two iPod touches that are on the same iTunes acct when using iMessage? When one child sends a message the other gets it and it says it's from our email address.

    Both of my sons have iPod touches. I set them both up on my iTunes account. The problem we are having is when they are using iMessage. When one sends a message the other also receives it. The message is labeled as from my email address. Is there a way to differentiate the 2 iPods?

  • HT3529 When using imessage on iphone5 does it ever use up any data from your carrier whether using wifi or carrier

    When using message on the iphone 5 does it ever use up data from your carrier, whether you are using wifi or carrier

    When using iMessage, they use data. If you are connected to wifi, it will use your wifi data, which will have no affect on your cellular account. If you are not connected to wifi, you will use cellular data, which is charged against your carrier account.
