that explains it. the reason you encounter the USB issue is due to the fact that apple deliberately created an attack code for "Hackintosh systems"
Though I won't go into the ethics of it I strongly disapprove of "hackintosh" methods. not only is it not permitted by apple but it's also an issue of hardware dependancy. if you're looking for a mac capable of running snow leopard, may I suggest checking places like ebay for some of the earlier intel iMacs, macbooks, macbook pro's, mac mini's etc as you're bound to come across a system very cheap which will cater you officially and permit upgrades, especially where voiceover is concerned. lew On 7 Feb 2012, at 23:26, Eric Oyen wrote: > last time I tried to update to 10.6.8, I ran into the problem of my usb ports > not working, which means no access to the machine. > > I will get some sighted help here, as I also happen to be a hackintosh user > (I know, it is strictly outside the Apple EULA, but it is the only I can have > accessibility without having to shell out for jaws and windows 7). still, I > am saving up for either a new mac mini (core i7) or a mac book pro (used). > > btw, for those that will inevitably ask: I do own a legal (purchased directly > from apple) a DVD of Snow Leopard. > > -eric > > On Feb 7, 2012, at 9:25 AM, Mr. L.
