Mac mini: Keyboard and Trackpad irresponsive

Hi
I have a late 2010 Mac mini (in perfect condition) and I love it.  It has worked flawlessly till now until I recently installed Yosemite.  The keyboard and trackpad are irresponsive (freeze) when I wake the computer from sleep.  The monitor would wake up though. 
I have tried to restore the default sleep settings and tried every other setting but to no help.  Eventually I wiped out the hard disk and reinstalled Yosemite and its not helping either.  This problem did not exist before Yosemite installation.  PLEASE PLEASE HELP.  Its become a big issue and I have to shut down the Mac mini several times each day and I keep losing my work.
BIG THANK YOU!

  • Mac Mini keyboard and with Trackpad

    Hi all
    Having set up the Mac Mini to work through the TV and home cinema amp - I need to get a reliable wireless keyboard with built-in trackpad - probably via Bluetooth or using a RF dongle - I don't care.
    Has anybody found a good reliable one with a MAC keyboard layout?
    Thanks

    Just bought a new Mac mini and exploring possible wireless keyboards with trackpads.
    Found one UK model: 'Keysonic 540RF MAC White Wireless keyboard with touchpad mouse', on Amazon UK. Looks like Apple layout keyboard with function keys (there is a PC version too).
    The US equivalent is the 'Adesso SlimTouch Wireless 2.4-GHz RF Mac Mini Touchpad Keyboard' on a variety of US websites. This looks nearly identical to the Keysonic, but is inexplicably much more expensive.
    Looking to get the Keysonic, but would appreciate any views on either of these products. Hope this helps.

  • HT201178 I have a Mac mini with Magic Trackpad and wireless keyboard. The keyboard and track pad got wet so I have purchased new ones. Problem is how do I get past the log in screen to set up the pairing of the devices? The old ones do not work

    How do I get past the login screen to pair my new wireless keyboard and trackpad when the old ones are water damaged and don't work

    Have you tried pulling the batteries out of the damaged ones so that they are completely off; then shutdown your Mac Mini via the power button on the back right. Turn on your new keyboard and trackpad then power your Mini back up? The auto detection should find your new keyboard and trackpad.

  • Keyboard and trackpad temporarily unresponsive after mac is woken from sleep or battery runs out

    I am having problems after my battery runs out completely or when I open my macbook  a day later with the battery charged. If my battery runs out, after I plug it in and turn it on, the first thing that appears is the login page and there is a dark grey background instead of my normal blurred background, and the user picture is shifted to the right. After I enter my password a small white bar at the bottom loads and my normal login page loads, but this time my keyboard and trackpad are unresponsive. I have to wait for the display to go to sleep, close my macbook and then open it for my keyboard and trackpad to work. Sometimes I have to repeat this process more than once. The same thing happens when I wake up my computer with full battery after a nights sleep, and instead of being able to wake it up just by opening the lid I have to turn it on with the power button. Please help I know this isn't normal behavior. I have already reset the SMC and PRAM with no success and this problem was there before and after I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite.
    Thanks

  • Can I pair my Mac with two wireless keyboards and trackpads?

    I have a MacBook Pro.  I want to have external display (and wireless keyboard and trackpad) at all 3 places I work.  Is that possible?  I read that it's possible to have a wireless keyboard work with multiple devices, but I couldn't find if it works the other way.  thanks

    I have two offices and I move my Mac between them.  I have paired both wiresless keyboards and when I show up at the other office it just pairs automatically.

  • Why does my Macbook pro keyboard and trackpad randomly become unresponsive forcing restart in OSX Mavericks?

    Randomly when using OSX Mavericks, since installing yesterday, my mid-2012 Macbook Pro keyboard and trackpad freeze and become unresponsive.
    The computer is still running whatever I was doing, the computer does not crash, i just cannot control it and the only way I have found as a fix is to restart.
    This never happened in Mountain Lion.
    Can anyone help?

    Very similarly.
    Mac Mini late 2012. i7 CPU, 16GB ram. 12GB unused.
    After installing Mavericks, it seems to grind my system to a halt. It is still running (I can move the cursor and activity monitor updates processes) but every application I try to launch results in a colorful waiting sign. It even can take a minute or more before an application shows "any" sign of starting.
    I tried to open a terminal session (so I could manually kill a process) but the terminal session did not even process. It timed out after 5 minutes.
    Acitivity monitor shows 90-95% idle and I have no idea what's causing it.
    I have already rebuild disk and reset permissions (all seemed fine) 3 times.
    I've rebooted over 8 times since last night. I cannot use my Mac anymore reliably.
    Please help.

  • Keyboard and trackpad freeze and randomly become unresponsive

    I've got a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011) running Mac OS X 10.8.2.
    Since a few weeks ago at random intervals my keyboard and trackpad become permanently unresponsive. I don't recall any particular cause or change that would have caused this to start happening.
    What happens is that the trackpad and keyboard will stop functioning completely. The computer, display etc. would continue to function properly:
    The clock keeps ticking.
    If music were playing it would continue etc.
    Internet connectivity (via an ethernet cable or WiFi) continues to work as well (a download will continue, and even resume if I disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable).
    Presssing the power button will bring up the shutdown dialog as usual (but I can't use it, obviously, so a forced shutdown needs to be performed instead by holding down the power button longer).
    .. but the keyboard and trackpad are rendered inoperable, as if they were no longer connected.
    I've made no progress in finding out what could possibly be the cause of this. A few observations:
    It has never happened while not using the keyboard (e.g. watch a DVD with TV series for a few hours, and afterwards the keyboard would always be fine).
    It always happens while actively typing (e.g. while in the middle of replying to an e-mail).
    It is not a temporary problem, the keyboard and trackpad will not become responsive again after some time (the computer isn't particulary occupied with calculating something big, no beachball and no busy mechanical noises).
    It does not happen progessively. It works fine and snappy one second, and I'm touching a dead keyboard a split second later.
    I tried connecting a USB keyboard but that doesn't seem to work either (I'm mentioning this since some of the linked threads below close with that as a solution).
    Possibly related (although I haven't found anything in these threads):
    Keyboard causes trackpad to not function properly
    Keyboard and trackpack freeze
    Keyboard and Trackpad Unresponsive
    MacBook Pro Keyboard & TrackPad freeze! Totally Unresponsive!
    MacBook Pro inbuilt Keyboard and Trackpad freeze when not connected to bluetooth devices?
    I've crawled through some log files in /var/log (via the shell and through Console.app) and found a couple things that may be relevant, although they seem unrelated. Etiher way, I was surprised by what I found. All sorts of errors with regards to Bluetooth and USB stuff. I'm not aware of using either. I haven't used bluetooth in years and though I sometimes charge an iPod by USB, I haven't had any problems with that, and this keyboard/trackpad freeze has also happened on sessions where I started the laptop and never even touch the USB ports in the time leading up to the freeze.
    Sample log from when it happened. It last happened at 21:04:xx:

  • Intermittent keyboard and trackpad freezes in 10.5.2 (not again!)

    Hi all,
    I'm having a major issue with my MacBook Pro built-in keyboard and trackpad. This issue is incredibly reminiscent of the previous widespread keyboard/trackpad freeze problems, documented in a number of threads, such as here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5860606
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196400
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6103438
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1190210&tstart=0
    What's special about this case is that these issues began very recently, well after I installed Mac OS X 10.5.2, which I recall is supposed to provide a fix for exactly this issue. I've never had a problem with this MacBook Pro notebook before, so this is incredibly unnerving.
    The issue is frustratingly intermittent, but frequent. Sometimes the entire keyboard and trackpad locks up (freezes) and won't acknowledge any input whatsoever. Other times the keyboard and/or trackpad appear to get "choppy", sometimes the keyboard will miss a key causing a typo while typing or the trackpad will suddenly stop moving the cursor. Other times the keyboard will repeat keys by accident, causing maaaaajor typos (kind of like that).
    What's really weird is that I'm seeing the floating "eject" bezel appear (the symbol that you see when you hit the keyboard's eject button) very frequently, when my fingers are nowhere near that key and I'm sure it's not pressed. This even happens sometimes when I'm not using the keyboard at all, just the trackpad (most often while scrolling with the two fingers gesture).
    I've troubleshot this in a number ways. Here is one such troubleshooting session's activity log that I kept while performing the troubleshooting:
    ---- CLIP ----
    MacBook Pro Keyboard Freeze problems troubleshooting log
    * Symptoms are a frozen keyboard and trackpad, that is, no input being recognized by the keyboard or trackpad. Not even the light of the caps lock key lights up when the issue is present.
    * Restarted computer. Issue recurred moments after logging back in and beginning to type.
    * Restarting, zapping PRAM. Issue is gone for a little while but has recurred.
    * Found a single line at the time issue began again in the "All Messages" log shown by Console.app that reads as follows:
    4/24/08 Apr 24, 8:58:15 PM kernel USBF: 551. 7 IOUSBCompositeDriver[0x65b7280](IOUSBDevice) GetFullConfigDescriptor(0) returned NULL
    * Restarting computer again, trying to boot in verbose mode. Can't!! Keyboard wasn't recognized even at this stage! Can't log in either, keyboard unresponsive at login screen.
    * Restarting again (via external USB mouse). Login window comes up and keyboard input is acknowledged. Very strange.
    * Keyboard input lost once again after using the keyboard for a short period of time.
    * Restarting, zapping PRAM again, and Logging in as Leopard's "Guest" user to try and isolate issue...no good, just seconds after logging in, the keyboard and trackpad freeze again.
    * Restarting once again, this time everything works. Noticed that the keyboard backlight is not lighting up in low-light situations. Trying to change the light level with the keyboard keys always results in the keyboard backlight bezel showing up with a prohibitory symbol. This is looking more and more like a keyboard driver issue.
    * Repairing disk permissions, no problems reported. Verifying disk itself, no issues reported. Issue persists.
    Observations and Lessons learned:
    * This issue began slowly, with freezes sometimes happening hours apart from one another, however it accelerated quickly. Now sometimes only mere seconds after logging in, my keyboard is frozen and sometimes the keyboard is even frozen at boot time, so that start up modifiers are not even recognized!
    * Zapping PRAM helps, sometimes, but only for a short period of time.
    * No other traditional Mac fix seems to affect the issue (repair permissions, etc.)
    * The issue occurs regardless of whether or not any peripheral devices are attached to the system.
    Perhaps unrelated, but interesting (and new!) to note:
    * The Bluetooth menu item reports that "Bluetooth: Not available", the Bluetooth System Preference pane is not visible, and System Profiler reports that "No information found" about Bluetooth.
    ---- END CLIP ----
    I've yet to try resetting the SMC, or doing a clean install, but from the copious amounts of users who reported similar errors in the threads I linked at the start of this post, those options only sound marginally hopeful.
    Some of these issues (like the weird eject key suddenly firing on its own) have been present for a little under a week, but the freezing is brand new. The only system-wide change I've made in the last week was installed the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1, which was successful (verified in System Profiler; my boot ROM version reads as MBP31.0070.B07).
    So mostly I want to know if anyone else using OS X 10.5.2 is also experiencing this problem. Also, though I'm grateful I could actually use my built-in keyboard to type this message (even with occasional missed keyboard presses, GRRR!!!) my only reliable workaround is an external keyboard. Which is a decidedly annoying thing indeed.
    Help?!?
    Thanks!
    -Meitar Moscovitz
    P.S. AUGH! Just as I was typing that last sentence the keyboard froze again! So I'm actually finishing typing this post via a VNC session. So, so, so so frustrating!

    I wanted to post once again with additional information just in case someone else is also having similar problems. Unfortunately, I'm almost certain that this is probably bad firmware or bad hardware, not a software issue at this stage. Here's why.
    KERNEL PANIC! Take a look at the backtrace and you can clearly see that the Trackpad is to blame. Also, in the system configuration report, not the boot ROM version string, which indicates that I have indeed updated to the latest firmware provided by the recent release of MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1.
    Here's the Kernel Panic log and system configuration I reported to Apple:

    Very strangely, Bluetooth functionality seems to have magically returned (it disappeared when this issue began occuring).
    There are also further log messages possibly associated with these errors:

    Also, *while running AHT, the keyboard freeze happened again*, and neither the trackpad nor even the light on the caps lock key was responsive, so now I am almost certain that this is not a software issue.
    Sigh. I really don't want to take this to a third-party repair center, but as I'm in Sydney I can't wait for the Apple store to open up—whenever that's supposed to be.

  • Keyboard and trackpad delay when opening.

    Well whenever my MacBook pro goes to sleep (when i close the lid) when I open the lid it wakes up... Tell us something we dont know.
    But when it wakes up there is like a 2 second delay before my keyboard and trackpad become responsive, and whiles I experience this I can't see the mouse onscreen it is hidden then suddenly it appears and everything works fine.
    I cant determine wether this is software or hardware problem. And i cant remember having this when I first got my MBP.
    Oh and im experiencing that, what seems to be popular, problem of now and then the keyboard and trackpad just stop working. (I have looked at the post that suggests putting a sticky note ontop of the gold strip beneath the battery, that worked for a while... but now I am seeing this problem more and more)
    Thanks in advance.

    It's not good to let your battery run down to that low. The Mac will enter a very low power state before the battery runs out in order to give you time to save your data and reconnect a power adapter.

  • My wireless keyboard and trackpad won't connect and i can't sign in

    my wireless keyboard and trackpad won't connect and i can't sign in. yesterday I tested it with my mac air and it worked fine. i deleted the connection from my mac air and tried it again. then it worded. howerver, i shut down my computer correctly and tried it again today. now the same problem again.
    HELP!!

    no, just a usb mouse. but I found an old usb bluetooth hardware. this made it possible for me to make it work. but as soon as I remove the hardware it says "no bluetooth available"! I re-istalled mountain lion but still the same problem.
    additionally I deleted/reset the PRAM. still the same problem.

  • Macbook Pro Keyboard and trackpad not working - SOLUTION!

    Recently my Macbook Pro of 3 years suddenly stopped working -- or at least the keyboard and track pad did. I plugged in an external USB mouse and and keyboard and was able to use it but it was of course cumbersome. Thinking it was a software issue like the one that used to happen to my old G4 desktop I reinstalled the OS but this did nothing but cause a lot of extra work. After doing a lot of hours of research I finally began reading that people were finding a solution by replacing their "topcase" (the topcase includes the keyboard and trackpad). This is a $300 fix and not knowing if it would even work I didn't want to try it and be wrong!
    To make a short story longer I found a website (which I have no affiliation with) called www.powerbookmedic.com who sold the cable only so you could do your own fix for about $35. They provide basic video but not an exact step by step to replace the actual cable -- just how to get to it.
    I will warn you that the components are tiny and I recommend buying the Mac tool kit and pry tool to help you through it. Even so I broke a small component but luckily it still works. In the end I now have a working Macbook Pro and some extra tools for the next time. I stripped a screw so had to spend another $15 and buying anti-static tape, although not necessary might be a good idea. Total cost to me was about $60 with tools and everything.
    It is not very hard to do the replacement but it is tricky because the components are so fragile and I did not have a video to properly describe how to open up connectors -- hence why I broke one. But if you are patient, savy and need to save a few bucks it can be done.
    PS- I have rebuilt desktop Mac's before but this was the first time I ever opened up a laptop. I used the video's provided at http://www.powerbookmedic.com/ as much as allowed.
    Good luck!

    No one cared enough to answer.

  • Macbook Pro's keyboard and trackpad aren't functioning well, please help, thank you!

    Dear Apple Support and Apple Communities,
    hopefully this question will be easily understood and will be answered with answers that can help, useful and beneficial. I will explain the problem, story that I guess began the problem, specs and information of the Notebook and so on.
    I love products produced by the brand, Apple, but they can get broken, ruined or destroyed. So, I do try my best to take care of devices that I have well. Although, my father bought a Macbook Pro last year, around November or December, 2013(I THINK). I don't think it's very old, maybe 3 - 5 months, but it should be in a good condition. I have dropped it many times, hopefully that won't effect the problem. Now, the problem, the Notebook is a beautiful device that I would love to keep using, but I don't really know how to use it properly and in the CORRECT/RIGHT/GOOD/SAFE way. If possible, can you list methods/ways to do those things? If so, thank you! Anyway, back to the topic, the Notebook's keyboard has a problem, some keys aren't responding, especially the alphabets/letters, I guess some other keys worked because I did the PRAM RESET. Anyway, the trackpad is also not functioning well, sometimes, when I right click the trackpad or when I click the entire surface with one finger(RIGHT CLICK OR SOMETHING ELSE), it would left click, I found a way to fix is, put the Notebook to sleep by closing the cover, hopefully that's alright. Anyway, it all began, I guess, when I was brushing my teeth. I dislike to waste time, so I used the Notebook and brushed my teeth simultaneously. I guess Saliva was being produced because of the acidic substance(TOOTHPASTE)? Anyway, my mouth had a lot of liquid in it, could have been Saliva, water and toothpaste. So, Physics, natural forces, Gravitational force occurred, some of the liquid left my mouth and onto the keyboard. I didn't panic because I think I heard that keyboard could not or did not suck in a lot of liquid, but I did clean it up. Anyway, the Notebook including the keyboard and trackpad were functioning like normal. I guess after three hours, something happened to the Notebook. I think I was using Safari in FULLSCREEN MODE and suddenly an application or software for another application appeared. It was requesting permission for an update, I think. I updated it and suddenly, the Notebook went haywire. Probably not immediately, but I guess the Notebook did go haywire. I tried searching for ways to fix it, but not much could fix or solve the problem. Hopefully your answer-s will fix or solve the problem, thank you.

    INFORMATION
    The Notebook has a few dents, I guess. I tried to open the keys to check for toothpaste or liquids. My brother told me that toothpaste is dense, probably the answer? My other brother told me that the keyboard and/or trackpad are/is "shocked"(LIQUID AND ELECTRICITY, NOT SUCH GOOD COMBINATIONS). Hopefully this is enough to be counted as detailed and informative. Thank you for your time! Take care!

    Take it to an Apple Store for diagnosis and repair. This will not be free, dropping the Mac and dropping liquids on it are not covered by the warranty.

  • Built-in Keyboard and trackpad become unresponsive randomly

    I've been researching a lot on this but no case seems to apply to mine.
    Out of nowhere, about once a day, the built-in keyboard and trackpad of my 2010 MacBook Air will stop working. The only thing that works is the power button, which brings up the power dialog in which I can't do anything. I can also do a hard shutdown.
    However, if I connect an external mouse and keyboard, they work. With just a restart through them or a hard shutdown, the built-in keyboard and trackpad start working perfectly. This makes me think it's a software issue, and thinking about it, this didn't happen before 10.8.4.
    I ended up resetting the PRAM, the SMC, and finally erasing my disk and reinstalling OSX. After that, I have ONLY installed Google Chrome, nothing else, and it's still happening.
    I don't live in the U.S, so taking it to Apple is impossible plus the issue is not easily reproduced, not to mention the computer is almost 3 years old.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Keyboard and trackpad unresponsive after sleep

    I've had this problem a few times since I got a refurbished MBA a few weeks ago.
    In preferences, I have it set to require a password when waking up. Most of the time, this goes fine, but sometimes I get the login screen with my username and the cursor blinking in the password field, but there is no response when I touch the keyboard or try to use the trackpad. I try pressing every key and combination I can think of, including the Force Quit combo (cmd-opt-esc). Nothing.
    It also sometimes just has a black screen, and again nothing I do causes any response. In those cases, if I close the lid and then reopen it after a few seconds, I get the login screen, but the keyboard and trackpad don't work.
    The only solution has been to turn it off and on again with the power switch, which is obviously not the most efficient way to wake up a sleeping computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.

  • My macbook pro keyboard and trackpad lock up randomly

    In the last day or so, my mac has started locking up the keyboard and trackpad randomly.  It happened to me a couple times yesterday completely at random times.  Once when I was playing a game, and another time when I was just browsing the web.  I had Mavericks 10.9.3 at the time of the first lockup, then updated and the second lockup occurred under 10.9.4.  I have a 15" mid-2012 macbook pro. 

    I have to hard restart the computer by holding down the power button.  Closing the lid like in the issue with the retina mackbooks does nothing.
