Monica Melegari Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 1. Run the Terminal from App > Utilitaries > Terminal 2. Copy and paste this: sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /Volumes/Lion/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup\ Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist Replace "Lion" for your volume name 3. Hit enter, type your password 4. Delete the lines <string>DeviceSection</string> <string>KeyboardTypeSection</string> 5. Save. Done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete these 2 lines <string>DeviceSection</string> <string>KeyboardTypeSection</string> exit & save Thank you everyone :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
