Hi Doug, My i mac is a 2010 imac, i7, 16 g of ram, if that makes any difference. I'm running mavericks, 10.9.2 or whatever the latest incarnation is at the moment.
I have tried everything I can think of to get this blasted keyboard to work! I read an an article yesterday teling how to go into the user library and get rid of a particular plist file, which I did, but that only helped somewhat. The file was com.apple.hitoolbox. After I got rid of that and rebooted, some keys were recognized, but not as what they were supposed to do. For example, command tab would move right, like the right arrow. Just as an aside, I did plug the keyboard into my new mac air that I just got for Christmas and got the keyboard assistant. AFter it claimed that the keyboard was recognized and said I could use the keyboard, again, the keyboard wasn't working as expected. vo right arrow was acting like enter, for example. Perhaps this microsoft keyboard is just wanky or something! I sure wish it would work, because it's comfy to type on.. But it's not worth the hassle unless I can figure out something relatively soon.. Thanks for any help!
