RoxSTar1968 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hello forumites, I've installed Mac OS X86 before, but this time, I want to install it using a USB keyboard and mouse. Supposedly, this is the best way to run os x86, but the mouse and keyboard aren't detected, so I can't install OS X86. When I first load up, the installer asks me to select a language, but I can't because I have no USB mouse or keyboard input. No lights or anything from the mouse or keyboard . Does anyone have a suggestion? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42907-no-keyboard-or-mouse-on-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxSTar1968 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Those mainly involve PS/2 Keyboard and mice combos. I have USB and I can't access the terminal or do any of the sort because I can't use my keyboard or mouse. Unplug and replug doesn't work either.

I am in the same boat as you, however my USB all works fine PRE BOOT (when disc inserted) but when OSX boots from HDD into MAC .... It just says no keyboard detected !!

macgirl Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Try installing with VMware then boot natively. If you have USB only maybe the DVD does not recognize your USB chipset, or the USB driver has problems.

hoodmulti Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 When you are installing with Jas 10.4.8 DVD. Do not choose to install USB patch or Additional Driver. I had the same problem, and got a working USB mouse now with this method.
