Question:

I have a 15" Macbook Pro 2009 Late Model Laptop (Silver Model, 2.4Ghz 4Gig RAM, 180GB HD, etc.) and it came with the Leopard Operating System. I received a copy of Snow Leopard along with the new Trackpad, and after I had successfully setup Snow Leopard, my keyboard will intermittently cut out on me, and sometimes my mousepad will stop working. I have not had problems with the trackpad, but I have had problems with keys telling the computer they are stuck when they are not stuck. I end up having to shut my machine down when this happens as there is nothing else that I can do. I know it is not a hardware problem because this was never a problem and never happened until I upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard.

Does anyone have any familiarity with this issue? Has Apple been made aware of this, or is it just my computer? Are the older Macbook Pro models unable to handle the Snow Leopard Upgrade? I would switch back to my Leopard OS, but I need the Snow Leopard OS to run my trackpad successfully, and I don't want to give up that function. But the key stuck error occurs multiple times per day, and I may end up having to switch back for my own sanity.
