Keyboard and Mouse doesn't work on system preferences after 10.5.2 upgrade

The keyboard and mouse configuration through the system preferences painel has stopped working after installing the update to version 10.5.2 of the Mac OS X.
This occurs when using the Brazilian Portuguese language. Any suggestion?

I've found a fix here:
http://antoniofonseca.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/correcao-para-o-problema-do-tecla do-e-mouse-no-leopard-1052-em-pt-br/
In short: there's a problem with the Brazilian Portuguese translation, it's the only language affected.

Keyboard and mouse no longer work when booting into Rhapsody

I still have a bootable partition with the last release of Rhapsody (aka Mac OS X Server) on my Power Mac G4 but it's been a while (years!) since I actually booted it up. The G4 also has bootable partitions with Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 (and is in daily use running 10.4.11).
I used to boot into Rhapsody occasionally, mostly for interest's sake, occasionally to test Unix software on legacy systems; I haven't tried to do so since installing 10.4 until now.
When I booted up from the Rhapsody partition today, all went well -- the system started up fine, and the login screen appeared -- but the keyboard and mouse no longer work. I even got out the original keyboard and mouse that came with the G4, with no luck.
I assume that recent firmware updates have bypassed support for Rhapsody. I guess I'm not surprised -- it was a developer-only release, after all. But has anyone a solution?

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

Keyboard and mouse won't work

Help! they keyboard and mouse have stopped working on my iMac. I had adjusted the universal access features for my mother who is legally blind to try the Voice Over features on my iMac and I thought that I hadn't reset something correctly when the keyboard would not let me type an e-mail this morning. Now, not only does the keyboard not work, but the mouse is not responding. I have a Pages document open and am unable to type or click anything in it, the pages menu, or anything on the desktop. when I move the cursor over the menu options or across the desktop icons on the bottom of the screen, where I should be getting an arrow to select the items I get the bar cursor like you get when you are typing something. What did I do and how do I fix it!

By the way, the keyboard and mouse do not show up in the system preferences either. And this is a 1.83GhZ dual core, white Macbook if it makes a difference.

Keyboard and mouse don't work at all in 1 on 2 times!

When my computer has already been started up once and I start it up again, then the PS2 keyboard and mouse will not work, but only 1 on 2 times precisely! So one time the keyboard and mouse are working, the other time keyboard and mouse are not working. The rest works fine. Quite mysterious isn't it? Who has a solution to this?
If the power has been totally off and I put it back on again, then keyboard and mouse work properly.
I have looked into the BIOS, Integrated Peripherals for something like PS/2, I couldn't find it, I have put out several things in the BIOS, but it didn't work.
Now follows a list of everything I see when I am into the BIOS with the standard settings for integrated peripherals.
Could it help to put items on and off here?

I couldn't find a possibility for a hardware reset in the BIOS. It should be in PnP/PCI. Does anybody know about these things?

Have you tried using a usb keyboard/mouse?
I don't use any usb, only use PS2. Maybe it is possible to use some sort of a PS2 to usb converter, but I would rather like the PS2 to work.

My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

"This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
Keep us posted.

Keyboard and Mouse don't work after upgrade

Hi, about one week ago, i've made a system wide upgrade and after reboot my keyboard and mouse stopped working. My hard disk is encrypted and without keyboard i remain at the prompt which asks my password to unlock the encrypted partitions. So i don't even arrive to login manager. I tried all the solutions i could find but none of them worked for me. I saw similar posts on the forum and i'm sorry if i'm posting it in wrong place.
Here is my Xorg.0.log file, it seems like because of hotplugging, xorg disables mouse and keyboard but i couldn't disable hotplugging with the given methods like adding flag to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
I 've installed/deleted xf86-input-keyboard/mouse and reinstalled xf86-input-evdev etc and it didn't work.
I tried to downgrade to different versions of kernel, i didn't work.
There are "00-keyboard.conf" "10-evdev.conf" "10-quirks.conf" "50-synaptics.conf" files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
So i don't know what to do else, i hope someone can help me.

Post the module names that that finds here. Also, look in your initrd for modules for the LPC bus driver. It does not exist in mine.

But, my keyboard and touchpad don't exist in the ISA bus address space. Things that used to live on the 1980's vintage ISA bus (like serial UARTS and ancient keyboard controllers) are now serviced by the serial LPC bus. I think you don't have that driver available in the initrd preboot environment
Sorry, i'm not good at these things, so which driver i should install if it's the case? (By the way, i added atkbd to the MODULES= and "earlymodules=atkbd modules-load=atkbd" to the kernel parameters, but i didn't make any change.)
Pse wrote:
Note that you shouldn't do this as a permanent solution, but just to get through the bootloader issue for now, manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and change the relevant lines to point to the LTS kernel (in other words, grub-mkconfig should NOT fail, but that's not your biggest problem right now). This way the entry that pointed to the common kernel should now point to the LTS one.
You can find the LTS kernel files in /boot; the names should give them away. Remember to change both the kernel and initrd lines in grub.cfg.
In fact, i also have done as you told(by changing lines to the lts) and read about the error that grub-mkconfig gives me. It says it's ok, error is not important it should work properly. So i have some problem with my bootloader. I can't see the boot option anyway. Problem must be about UEFI because i remember that i had booting problems also when i first installed arch to my computer. I see all lts and lts.img files under /boot directory but somehow don't see as boot option.
Anyway, thanks a lot for all your help, maybe i do something wrong, i can't solve the problen. I'm going to reinstall my system, because i don't have time anymore. I hope at least this post would be useful for somebody else.

Help! My Keyboard and mouse will not work all of a sudden on my G4

I am having a problem with both my keyboard and mouse. I have a graphite G4 and recently had to run disk warrior on i. I have had endless problems with this computer and even have a 2nd hardrive on it since it only came with a 10Gig. Needless to say it is all I have right now. I am running os x 10.2.2 on it and a few days after I recessitated it with disk warrior my keyboard and mouse suddenly went dead while I was on the internet. I tried pluging the two into different usb ports both on the tower and also into the flat panel mac display that it came with and nothing. I plugged in my wacom tablet and that works. i then tested the mouse and keyboard on my husband's dell laptop and they work. I cannot reset the PRAM b/c the keyboard won't work! What do I do??????

Besides removing the battery, you can do a PMU reset which will zap PRAM. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial
You only describe your Mac as a G4 graphite, which I believe is a G4 AGP. Here’s a diagram showing the location of the PMU reset button.

Keyboard and mouse don't work. (mighty mouse, wired)

I've been using my new intel iMac for a couple of months now with no problems at all, but last night I installed Security Update 2006-007 and then restarted my computer. Now, the keyboard and mouse just refuse to work. The mouse pointer stays in the right-hand corner and the caps-lock key on the keyboard won't light up. I tried unplugging them and plugging them back in again... nothing. I haven't got another usb keyboard or mouse so I tried booting the install CD, and everything worked fine then, so I'm guessing the update did something to Mac OS X that it didn't agree with?
Anyone know how I could possibly fix this? Thanks in advance :]

Try starting in Safe Boot mode - it does take a lot longer to start so be patient

Keyboard and Mouse no longer work after update

Earlier today I ran pacman -Syu for the first time since the 18th, and initially everything seemed to be working properly. However, upon my next boot, both my mouse and keyboard (both USB) no longer worked, leaving me stuck at the login screen unable to move the cursor or switch to a different terminal. Unplugging and reconnecting my keyboard and mouse did nothing.
A related topic (which could be solved by reconnecting the devices) suggested that booting with runlevel 1 might help, and this allowed me to use the terminal, but any attempt to start X resulted in getting stuck at login in the same way.
Disabling and re-enabling hotplugging via xorg.conf had no impact (there was a note in Xorg.0.log indicating that since hotplugging was enabled, mouse and keyboard drivers were being disabled. Apparently it's a fairly standard warning).
The only package that was updated that seemed to be input related was xf86-xinput, but downgrading to the previous version did not fix the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might have caused this issue?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

Keyboard and mouse won't work while Windows is loading

I have mentioned this in another thread in a different section but thought I would post specifically about it here because I do need to find a solution.
I get no response from my keyboard and mouse (both USB wired, the originals that came with the iMac) as soon as XP starts to load. This means that I cannot e.g. enter Safe Mode because pressing F8 gets no response. Both work fine before Windows starts to load because I can choose to boot from either Windows or OSX by holding down Option as the computer starts up. Also, if I keep pressing F8 immediately after choosing Windows I do sometimes get to the screen which should let me choose Safe Mode but then I can't do anything once there because there's no response from keys or mouse. If I leave it til the screen that says to press F8, it is too late because there's just no response from anything. Once Windows is up and running, all works perfectly.
Anyone got any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi!
I suffered this problem time and time again, I kept on pairing/un-pairing/re-pairing etc. and then for no reason at all it suddenly worked. What happened I do not know. Be patient. First off use a wired keyboard and wireless mouse and if that works stay with it for a while. Then try both wireless. I found my mouse was more temperamental than the keyboard. You may have to try wireless keyboard and wired mouse (USB into the computer direct).
Good luck let me know how it goes.

Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse sometimes stop Working

I'm having an issue with my computer, it is a new build on a MSI 890FXA-GD65 motherboard. Sometimes randomly while i play a game, my monitor goes to sleep and wont wake up (monitor is connected via VGA port to my Radeon HD 5670 GPU), my keyboard and mouse turn off(both usb, mouse is Logitech, the red light on the bottom turns off), the computer still runs all the lights are on. Also, the front panel reset and power buttons wont work, the only way to shut it off is by the power switch on my power supply. Any ideas as to what might be the problem?

It was set to 1333 by default, everything in BIOS regarding memory is on auto.

PS/2 keyboard and mouse suddenly stop working

This problem only started happening today (it occurred twice). My keyboard and mouse suddenly become unresponsive after a few hours of use, yet everything else seems to be working (video kept playing). I plugged in a USB mouse and it worked fine, so I could reboot.

Sorry, just noticed the problem is already being discussed in another thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43932
