Apple Fixes Keyboard Freezing on MacBook and MacBook Pros

This update addresses a responsiveness issue on MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook computers. Some MacBook and MacBook Pro systems may occasionally experience a temporary suspension of keyboard input which can last a minute or longer. The Mac OS X 10.5.1 update is required before installing the MacBook, MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1.


Get in Software Update :)

I'm not gonna install this one...my first ignored update :)

My girlfriend shall be EXTREMELY happy about this.

A bit of a premature headline, we don't know if it works...like the iMac freezing original fix...

Hi. I use Microsoft RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) to connect to my work laptop (I have to use Windows for work, but I might as well display it on my Mac and keep all my Mac stuff handy - plus I can use all the Mac shortcuts which helps stop my brain getting confuddled). If I am in the command line interface - which isn't often but a few times tonight) the keyboard seems to behave very oddly - no '\' and I had to have caps lock on to press shift and get a capital letter. This could of course be any of the following:-
a) Windows is useless
b) RDC is still Beta
c) for some reason the MacBook keyboard just isn't compatible with Windows/command line interface
d) something I haven't thought of
e) all of the above

Just felt like sharing .... !:)

so does this fix the non-responsive keyboard after waking from deep sleep? or the issue where the first few key strokes are not recognized?

My poor MBP no longer suffers from dyslexia! :)


ariza, first key press seems to be fixed here, rare I get the unresponsive keyboard though so I can't test right now.


Safari is snappier after update.

What about the screen freezing issues that Tiger users like myself are experiencing with MBP's? :apple:

Installed the keyboard update without problems. It took about 2 minutes after it finished the install before the system came back up but have had no problems since. Had some intermittent keyboard problems before but none so far with the upgrade.

eh.... Were santa rosa users the only people having this issue or was it all Macbooks/ Pro from core duo up to core duo2?
Because I have a Core Duo MBP with the update yet I've never had an issue with the keyboard.

Just curios
