Mac has wrong Spanish keyboard layout
My Mac has the wrong layout for the Spanish keyboard.
Layout Mac thinks my keyboard is:
Expected Spanish ISO layout:
As you can see from the images - the layouts are different. For example, '<' and '>' are in different locations.
Any idea how to fix this?
Additional Information I am using a Macbook Pro Mid 2009. OS - Lion - OS X 10.7.3. It does have a built-in keyboard, but thats the UK keyboard. External Spanish Keyboard is a Logitech wireless DiNovo http://www.dvhardware.net/article6438.html. I do not have any more external keyboards.
Keyboard Prefs:
It appears the Mac thinks you have an ANSI keyboard when you actually have an Extended ISO keyboard. The layout you show as being active is the layout I see when I set my Mac Book Pro to Spanish ISO using the built-in ANSI keyboard. Probably you skipped Keyboard Setup when you installed Lion or you pressed the wrong buttons or something. In any case, it should be fixed by re-running Keyboard Setup.
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Keyboard.
- Click Change Keyboard Type.
- Follow the onscreen instructions when Keyboard Setup Assistant appears.
If the "Change Keyboard Type" button does not appear, then as a last resort you can try deleting the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist
file. First, turn off your Bluetooth keyboard, then delete it from the Bluetooth preferences, then delete the file, then reboot, then re-pair your keyboard. This should automatically bring up the Keyboard Setup Assistant.
Since you have a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard other things to try would be
- Install, update, or re-install the Logitech drivers for the keyboard.
Note, however, that Logitech does not support your keyboard on the Mac.
