SubscribeNew Macbook Pro + Wired Keyboard = Trouble
October 15th, 2008 | General | 3 Comments
It appears that Apple is having some issues with compatibility when you restore your new Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup. The wired Apple keyboard does not work with the new Macbook Pro. It appears the issue only occurs when you boot up your new fall 2008 Macbook Pro from a Time Machine Backup.
My wireless logitech mouse which is plugged into the keyboard works, but the keyboard itself doesn’t work. I have confirmed this is happening with multiple people. Are you effected by it?

Restore your new MacBook Pro from Time Machine from your old MacBook Pro, or as a clone from your old MacBook Pro (Protip: use FireWire Direct Mode).
Once you've restored, then use the system disk that came with your new MacBook Pro and re-install Leopard. This is the way you should *always* migrate everything from one model of Mac to another model of Mac. If the Macs are the same exact model, you can just do the restore. Otherwise, you may be missing some of the drivers and patches that only apply to the previous model.
When I reinstall leopard, what method of install should I use? I am guessing achieve and install, but will that erase my data?
Has read with the pleasure, very interesting post, write still, good luck to you!
