Disaster! OS X 10.5.6 broke ClonedKeys

[Ohitekah]

After installing OS X 10.5.6 yesterday ClonedKeys is not working anymore. Does anyone know about a -working- alternative for an upset Mac user? And no, I am not going to install WIndows, sorry. :)

10.5.6 is released now?

10.5.6 is released now?Yes, since yesterday.

Install Ubuntu (linux) ?

j/k :)

I think there is a version of Synergy that'll work on Macs.Synergy works only between 2 physical machines, not between two applications on the same system. Some WoW'er that are way more technical able than I have investigated the problem and it seems that the OS update only broke the functionality of ClonedKeys for WoW but not for other applications, which makes the error really weird.

As a side note, I moved from Linux (Gentoo) to Mac OS X, and while still running Linux under VMware Fusion for fun, I stick with the Apple OS. Thanks :)

Have fun out there ... Ohitekah

I think a multiboxer has angered (pwned) an Apple employee who works on Mac updates. This sucks! I thought I messed something up but then I found the couple posts online about the same problem. I guess if your lucky enough to have not updated...don't. Is there any way to uninstall a mac update?

The only way is to reinstall and manually patch to 10.5.5 ... or, if you are anal about your backups as I am, revert back to your last Time Machine backup. I will wait another day or two and see how this develops before restoring back to 10.5.5

Wow, this really is bad. At first I wasn't sure what could be wrong, but then it occurred to me that the only thing that had changed since it was last working is that I had installed the update.

What do you suppose the odds are that Robert Jenkins, the CloneKeys developer, will find a fix? If he's still using his own software, I'm sure he's on it.

I hope I do not break any rules in pointing to this tread on the WoW Mac Forum where some of us are trying to get a grip on that problem:

There are now links to temporary versions of CloneKeys and ClonedKeys with a work-around in the WoW forum (including source). The problem appears to be a changed in Apple's code such that focus was being unset when WoW went into the background (probably just a bug fix, and not targeted at any app in particular). The work-around is to send a fake focus event to WoW to make it think it has the user focus again.
