MacBook Pro 13" (2011) | Forums

I'm sorry if this was already answered, but couldn't find relevant info.

I have a MacBook Pro 13" (2011), OSX Lion 10.7.4, and when I start Driver SF I cannot use my trackpad, nor my keyboard.
I can do it on my Air 13" (but obviously that one is too slow to play).

I read that people have problems with other peripherals, but that doesn't apply - I have nothing else connected.
Is there something I'm missing? Or should I just ask for a refund? It seems ridiculous..

Thanks for your time

That’s strange indeed… have you tried reinstalling? I use the Apple wireless keyboard and the wireless mouse and it works fine.

I read somewhere that only mouse and keyboard are compatible but trackpad should be as well.

Is you mac 100% stock?

And does that mean you land in the main menu and can’t move anything?

I have no external keyboard/mouse - just the keyboard and trackpad built-in.
I am reinstalling now for the 3rd time.. will see what happens.

And yes, you are right - I see the menu, but the keyboard is dead (other than cmd-tab, function keys), trackpad doesn't react.

Hmm and is all stock? Or anything modified? Also… serious question, but is the game bought? Because if not you shouldn’t wonder.

Is your keyboard or the country where you bought your mac maybe a different one then where you bought the game? Perhaps if ordered online?

This might mess up with the different keyboards.

For example I have a QWERTZ keyboard, but it seems like some stuff wasn’t done the right way, more like if it was done for a AZERTY keyboard or something like that, and sometimes it would show me a key and its use (for example Y for showing leader boards) but it will be wrong, because on my keyboard it will be Z and not Y.

I have the same problem with my 21.5" iMac. It loads normally but there's no input from neither keyboard or mouse.

Actually, the mouse cursor is invisible — you can eventually highlight menu options — but cannot click.

I use an Apple Wireless Keyboard and a Razer DeathAdder.

I just can't play the game.

Yeah I guess you’re mouse is the problem, I’m afraid. I’m pretty sure I’ve read somewhere that only the Apple keyboard and mouse are compatible.

You don’t go through the menu with the mouse, but with the keyboard. I mean you can with the mouse, but I don’t really think it was made for that as it doesn’t work in all menus and yes… I think the problem is always people having some third party stuff.

I have an all stock 27“ iMac, and I’m using the wireless mouse and wireless keyboard that came with it. I have no cracked stuff or anything installed on my computer either, which could influence this (because that can be the case) — by computer is 100% stock and there’s no software installed either that tries to manipulate the computer to turn it into something it isn’t. Only this way, everything can work properly I guess :/

Strangely enough, I connected my magic mouse and it started showing the mouse cursor, but after that I could turn it off and use my DeathAdder normally. Now I can play the game, but it freezes from time to time and it's highly annoying.

PS: my Mac isn't modded or anything. I believe this problem had to do with me having the magic mouse, DeathAdder and an Intuos4 connected at the same time. It shouldn't stop working because of this though.
