I recently moved from Switzerland to the United States. In Switzerland I purchased a German Apple wireless keyboard. Now that I live in the U.S I purchases an American wireless keyboard now that I connect it to my Mac whenever I type the letters are not arranged in a QWERTY keyboard form, for example the Y and Z keys are switched. Any advice?
The system is still set to use the German keyboard layout. You have to change the default keyboard 'input source' to 'U.S.': – Open System Preferences-LanguageText – Go to the tab 'Input Sources'. You'll see a list of keyboard languages. Scroll down and check-mark the entry 'U.S.'. – If you don't want to use the German keyboard ever again, un-check the entry 'German'. In this case, the US keyboard will automatically be activated. – If you want to change occasionally, check the option 'Show input menu in menu bar.' This will display a little flag in the menu bar which you can click to get a menu of all keyboard languages that you have check-marked in the list of keyboard languages.
