Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and make sure that ONLY the box for US is checked.


If the problem still exists, send me a screenshot of what you are seeing (tom at bluesky dot org).

Under Settings'/general/keyboards, There are now two keyboard layouts" software and hardware" keyboard layout. I can easily just pic US in the software one, but the hardware one has three style choices of only arabic keyboards and it requires me to pick one. So I still get arabic when I hit the globe. If anyone knows how to solve this one (get rid of it!) i will respect u forever.


On this discussion board i always hear, go to settings keyboard and change to US. As explained above, that does not solve the problem, nor many other users I read on here have the same issue as I do. VERY ANNOYING.
