Hi. Cool post. There is a problem with the site in chrome, and you may want to test this… The browser is the market chief and a large component to people will omit your magnificent writing due to this problem.

Ben,

In this case I think it is the best to contact Apple (or the repair company you used) to let them know of the situation. I believe they would replace the keyboard with one with the Santa Rosa layout free of charge, considering it is a mistake at their end.

You might also try calling Apple to see if there is a software solution to this.

Sorry I can’t help. Thank for the comment and good luck.

Have you tried rebooting?

I’ve got a funny situation here where this keyboard layout change is having a more tangible impact. I have a Santa Rosa MBP, and have just had the keyboard replaced after it ceased functioning completely.

They’ve replaced it with the Penryn layout, but OS X is still using the old layout so my fn key secondary functions (volume etc) no longer correspond to the right keys.

Any ideas on changing that?
