Keyboard settings not saving

User uploaded file


After a recent update to 10.8 I have been unable to set either the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" or "Turn off when computer is not used for:" options under keyboard settings. The check box and sliders are usable however after closing System Preferences any changes I have made dissapear. Any ideas?

Hi Christopher C. S. Ke,


Thank you so much. I couldn't wait for Apple inc. until they fix this bug. It was wrong since 2 years. already in 10.7 lion. I don't believe that Apple fixes this bug ever.

So, I reformatted my hdd to Mac Os extended, and I reinstalled 10.8 mountain lion, and ...... 🙂 everything is working fine. You solved my problem!


With Mac OS case sensitve FS worked badly.


Regards,


PS: In any case, I put a bug ticket to here https://bugreport.apple.com, maybe something happens with it. I'm very, very skeptical. 😟
