depi Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Dont install security update if you have AMD system. It ruined mine completely. Others updates work without any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kourosh Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 EDIT. Read your post wrong, as you might guess if you've got a pc keyboard, i think the windows key (the one with the windows logo) is the equivalent of the command key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edootjuh Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 (1) Do you have a stock kernel? (2) For the apple buttons: normally, they are in the same place as the apple keys, so: control would be Ctrl, and Command would be Alt, and options would be Windows key. But you can change that in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier keys, so that you can use Ctrl + C etc. just like in windows. EDIT: Wait, I think standard Option is Ctrl and Command is Alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan-AKA-Hit Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ok thanks for they keyboard explaination I'd also like to know if i can use a real USB Apple Keyboard Because that thing rocks! Oh and the update didn't turn out so well it boots and i see update worked(Mp3 shows album art with aqau effect as icon) But after 1min Dock closes and mac gets stuck Even with -X So i guess i have to reinstall(I have TOH modified for AMD by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerTea Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ofcourse you can use an USB Apple Keyboard, either the wired or the wireless one. Why wouldn't it work? They even added Windows support... I am using it, and I couldn't think of not using an Apple Keyboard for my Hackintosh. I wouldn't be able to use all the nice keyboard shortcuts easily, without having an Apple Keyboard. Think of all those keys such as iTunes Control Buttons, Dashboard Key, Exposé Key, Eject Key, Volume adjusting Keys etc. Apple Keyboard and the Apple Mighty Mouse are perfect gadgets for your OSX86 System. Best controlling devices I have ever bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrenbird Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yes it does, lol By the way nobody got the attention to me saying the update ruined my instalation well if you have pc_efi the next time, you should be able to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 well if you have pc_efi the next time, you should be able to do it. Will people *PLEASE* stop saying this... pc-efi alone does *NOT* enable online updates, running unmodified kernel & kexts ("vanilla") does. pc-efi makes it possible to run the unmodified components on *some* intel-chipset core-architecture systems only. A lot of people are installing pc-efi thinking it enables online updates by magic. This causes more problems than it solves. Also, this isn't relevant to this particular update at all, as it doesn't install a kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan-AKA-Hit Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 But is there a way to install these updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elton926 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 But is there a way to install these updates? If all you want is iTunes, then uncheck the rest. The application updates shouldn't be touching anything that would crash your system - it could be the security update doing something funky.
