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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277918-there-isnt-a-keyboard-connect-to-your-computer/#findComment-1811987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sume5h Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thank you for the help guys i did what you guys suggested me @bigben when -x -v flags i got 'still waiting for root device" error @monica i couldn't bypass the "Connect your keyboard now" screen, so going to App > Utilitaries > Terminal was not possible for me .....i did try to delete those 2 lines from single user mode before, but i was getting error no such directory or file after long searching for long this was my solution - Boot in single user mode (-s) fsck -fy (hit enter). mount -uw / (hit enter). nano /System/Library/CoreServices/Setup\ Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist (hit enter). Delete these 2 lines <string>DeviceSection</string> <string>KeyboardTypeSection</string> exit & save Thank you everyone :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277918-there-isnt-a-keyboard-connect-to-your-computer/#findComment-1812002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
