MacOS – Keyboard keeps reverting to U.S

For a few weeks, I've noticed that my keyboard layout keeps reverting to U.S. each time I reboot. To be precise: each time I reboot, my System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources window looks like this:

I keep changing it to this (but it doesn't stick around for long):

NB: MathUnicode is a .keylayout file of my own making, which I've used for several years now, without any problems.

I'm running OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).

Does anybody know how I can stop it reverting to the U.S. keyboard layout?

Best Answer

  1. Select Keyboard you want.

  2. Shut down your Mac.

  3. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously Turn on the computer.

  4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.

  5. Release the keys.

After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.
