So Apple keeps shutting down consumers complaining on their forums. What a shame!
My now 14 months old MacBook Pro has an issue with the keyboard in that it awakes from sleep too slow. So if I don't type anything for a short period of time and then
suddenly type something,
the first one or two keys I press are not recognized. That's quite annoying, especially if you type a password, but of course not only then.
To resolve this issue I headed over to Apples discussion boards back in November 2007 - and discovered a massive thread titled
ELP! - first letter always missing! discussing exactly this issue. It looked like Apple listened to their customers and released a Firmware Update
December 18 to address this issue - but this didn't improve anything for me.
Today I was looking for some example cocoa code and when Google returned nothing about Cocoa at all, I realized that I only googled for "coa sample code" instead of "cocoa sample code". Obviously my keyboards behaviour has not improved at all, the first one or two letter(s) after a short typing-break are still not recognized, so I decided to post the the thread in the Apple boards again - only to see that
the thread has been locked!
Obviously Apple thinks that the issue is resolved and no-one should complain any longer. Bad move, Apple! :P
Update Feb 2, 2008:
Ok, Apple today released another version of the
Keyboard Firmware Update. I just installed it and it looks fine so far. Let's hope it has been fixed.
Rafael: Thank you very much, I was having a huge headache to solve the very same problem!
