I couldn't get the apple bundle thingy to work. Just got that application error message. I finally downloaded Pacifist. Extracted the original bundle. Got the message that I already had it. It must have been the one you sent. I replaced yours with the original just to be sure. Still doesn't work. Yep, I authenticated, restarted and repaired permissions. Still nothing.

I thought maybe if I downloaded the driver for the keyboard that might work, but can't find one for this particular keyboard. Guess it's too old.

Guess I'll stick with my wireless keyboard. Not my favorite but better than the iBook keyboard for serious typing.

Thanks for all your work and help. I really appreciate it.

Nobody hates you, Rita; you're not supposed to click on the bundle!

All you have to do is get it into /System/Library/Keyboard Layouts.

When you drop it into that folder OS X should pop up "The item "Applekeyboardbundle" could not be moved because "Keyboard Layouts" cannot be modified."

It should ask you to authenticate, and after you click on "Authenticate" and enter your password it should drop the bundle.

After you see the actual bundle, itself, in its desired location you restart and repair permissions, and, assuming it's a compatible bundle, you're good to go.

Hope we're getting to the end of the road. smile
