[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 488768"] I bought that keyboard last Sunday and downloaded through Software Update the keyboard updater just as the sales rep advised me to do right away when I got home. At first, it seemed to work fine. Then it started acting up. I would get a random key that got stuck and had to unplug the keyboard for the repeating key to stop typing by itself. I would type and get no response at all for like 30 seconds, then it would type one or two of the whole letters I had typed during that time. So I thought something was wrong with the USB port but everything worked fine: then I suspected the keyboard as the old one I was replacing it with worked well. So Today I took it back to the Apple Store and they gave me a new one in exchange. Much to my surprise, the new one was just as bad as the other one! Egads! So I did what I should have done first: I booted into Safe Boot mode, downloaded manually the updater and installed it. It now seems to be working fine. *Crossing fingers* One peculiar thing though: I checked the receipts folder to make sure of the Keyboard Update version I had and it was 1.2 but dated 7th September. On the Apple website, the 1.2 updater had the posted date as being 11th September. Kinda strange but at least it's working now. Again... *Crossing fingers* I so want this keyboard to work, I love the touch and feel of it. :) So my advice, go to Apple/support/downloads and download the keyboard updater and reinstall it again. It might be best if you unplugged all peripherals before and to boot into Safe Boot mode to install. And let the install go, don't use the Mac at all during that process. Restart as usual. Good luck! Let us know how it goes! [/QUOTE]
