©öñFü5íóÑ Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm not absolutely sure if it will permanently render my aluminum keyboard unusable on my Hackintosh on the OS X side....................... much less when i boot back into Vista. Can anyone confirm if it works in both instances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

©öñFü5íóÑ Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Keyboards don't work that way. So can you confirm if the keyboard works on a 10.5.2 Hackintosh and on Vista after applying the update or not? Because thats what I'm asking.

vaporATX Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 So can you confirm if the keyboard works on a 10.5.2 Hackintosh and on Vista after applying the update or not? Because thats what I'm asking. Works fine on mine after the update in OS X, linux, WinXP, and FreeBSD. I haven't yet fouled any of my systems with Vista, but my guess is it should be fine. The update is to the firmware in the keyboard, what OS you have it plugged into shouldn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuCasn Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 This is a little OT, but my Apple Wireless Keyboard (the aluminium one) stopped working after the batteries went dead. I can't pair it anymore (I removed the paired keyboard because I didn't realize the batteries were dead). Now, after replacing the batteries, when I try to pair, I am asked to enter the key on my keyboard. As soon as I hit Enter, my HardwareGrowler says "Bluetooth Device connected", circle starts circling and nothing happens. About thirty seconds later, "Bluetooth Device Disconnected" appears and MacOS tells me pairing was unsuccessful. Ironically the Keyboard works fine in Windows, including (re-)pairing. Has anyone experienced anything like that or even a solution for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olinboy1 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I hope I don't seem too offtopic, but I've got the Aluminum Keyboard (corded) and on my ASUS P5K Deluxe Wifi AP motherboard (with most up to date BIOS) whenever it's plugged in, it makes the BIOS POST hang indefinitely. I can wait for Leopard to boot all the way first, THEN plug the keyboard in, and it works fine, but that's a pain! Anyone else had an issue like this? I think it has something to do with the integrated USB hub in the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzalog Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Damnit i have the exact problem and also on a p5k deluxe WiFi. This blows, it was working just fine before this update, now i can't use this keyboard with a PC. Gonna mess with some bios settings and i'll get back to you guys. Hope someone finds a fix...
