After upgrading to 10.8.3 my Apple USB keyboard stops working after about 3 hours

Mac Pro 3,1
OS X 10.8.3 Server
32GB RAM
Apple USB Keyboard works fine after reboot (typing on it now), stops responding after about 3 hours.
I see nothing in Console that looks like the culprit. Here is everything around the last time it happened - between 11:28 and 11:30 they keyboard just stopped working. Unplugging and re-plugging doesn't bring it back. Changing USB ports doesn't bring it back. Rebooting is the only thing that seems to work. Bluetooth keyboard works before and after.

Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Everything worked fine in 10.8.2.

Hey Doug,
Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your keyboard backlight is not working upon startup, the following may resolve your issue:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
After performing normal troubleshooting, these symptoms may indicate that an SMC reset may be necessary:
Lights
The keyboard backlight appears to behave incorrectly (on Mac computers that have this feature).
You may also want to reset your computer's PRAM:

Note: Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

  • Apple wired keyboard stops working after iTunes sync

    I have an imac running snow leopard.  When I sync old ipad, iphone 3gs or iphone 4, the wired keyboard stops working.  The only solution seems to be to turn the IMac off and turn on again.  Have tried resetting permissions with no success. Any ideas?

    Try resetting the NVRAM

    Try another BK. Maybe a KB problem.
    Try booting to Recovery and see if it works OK. Maybe a software problem with Yosemite

  • Apple wired keyboard stopped working after Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update 2.0

    After the update, my MacPro will not deetect/accept the keyboard. My old keyboard (White plastic) works, my new (approx 6 months) aluminum wired keyboard don't. Keyboard tested on other Macs - no problem there.
    Anybody know why/how to fix/have a solution?

    SMC Reset and PRAM Reset are the conventional ways to deal with such problems.

  • Apple usb keyboard not working

    hello, recently my apple usb keyboard stopped working.  the usb connections on the keyboard still work but the letter buttons do not do anything anymore.  is the keyboard fried or is this fixable?

    I assume you tried another USB port and tried the KB on another computer. A pc will suffice for testing purposes.

  • Apple USB Keyboard not working when connected in Macbook PRO retina

    I have this problem. When I connect my new Apple usb keyboard directly to the laptop it does work. Is there any way to solve this problem?

    I just did the latest update and my Apple USB keyboard stopped working. The keyboard works fine with other computers and other keyboards work with my Macbook.
    The keyboard ships with a three foot extension cable. I plugged the keyboard into the Macbook with this cable and now it's working fine. I think it has something to do with the USB port being 3.0. A USB hub may also solve the issue.

  • 1 of 2 USB ports stopped working after 10.7.2 upgrade

    I have the newest Macbook Pro.  I upgraded to 10.7.2 today and immediately after, 1 of my 2 usb ports stopped working.   Thought it may be the cable, so I switched cables.  Tried plugging in my iPhone, my portable drive and nothing.   Both work on the other port though.   Both ports worked fine before the update. 
    I've rebooted 4x. 
    Suggestions?

  • Keyboard stopped working after upgrading to Windows 10

    I just upgraded my HP Pavilion X2 to Windows 10 and the keyboard stopped working.  Is there an update from HP that can correct this issue?

    , Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  The only option you have at the moment is to run the windows update troubleshooter and run any update recommended or optional.  If that does not fix it then you will need to roll back to the original supported operating system the x2 was built to run on. Here is the link for the troubleshooter. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter Please let me know how things go.  Thanks again for the post and have a great day. 

  • First USB port stops working after random time and won't work until I restart

    Hey guys
    I have this problem on my late 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch,
    It's been for a year already and it really freaks me out and drive me crazy
    My first USB port next to the thunderbolt stops working after like 3 days, and it won't respond until I restart my computer or log off and log in again.
    If I restart my computer, USB stops working after 3 days and won't respond until I restart
    If I log off it works for like a couple of hours and then stops again
    I have tried EVERYTHING, SMC reset - no luck, PRAM reset - same results, Upgraded to lion same results, Upgraded to mountain lion - SAME RESULT
    And I can't take it to an apple store because I'm not from the US
    I am 100% sure this is a software problem and I've seen here that many people have faced this problem
    Please help, it really freaks me out

    I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear but unless you really are using your laptop 24 hours a day, is there any reason why you don't just shut it down and reboot when you're ready to use it again? I have to wonder how many other MacBook Pro owners potentially have the same problem but when they quit computing for the day, their computers quit too.

  • Right USB Port stops working after disconnecting device since 10.9.2

    Hi,
    Since updating to 10.9.2 the right USB port on my MBA stops working after diconnecting a device (tested: external hard drive, USB flash drive, USB HSPA Modem). The only way to get the port recognizing the device on that port is to do a restart. If the device is connected from starting the MBA it works fine, if I then eject the drive and reinsert it or a different USB device the device doesn't get recognized. The devices do get power, my WD passport ultra spins up just fine, the USB HSPA modem also indicates it's working (with signal) but nothing shows up in finder or diskutility. If the modem is connected from start (and thus working) and then disconnect from the internet but not remove the drive I can reconnect to the internet. The problem only occurs after disconnecting the device. The port becomes inactive. The left USB port works as expected.
    Steps I've taken:
    Disk Persmission
    PRAM
    SMC
    Reapplied the 10.9.2 update

    Nothing out of the ordinairy. Thanks for any help

    It's an Apple Pro keyboard and mouse, the dongle is
    plugged into the Mac and not the keyboard. The same
    set-up is, and has been working on all our other
    Macs.
    The sleep issue sounds interesting- hum, maybe...
    Is your keyboard plugged into one of the USB connections on an Apple monitor? If so, you may want to change that connection to one that is on the G5 itself. My monitor came with a warning note indicating that problems will likely occur if the keyboard is connected to the monitor.
    I also had a problem with the automatic sleep function. After much trouble-shooting and a logic board replacement, it was concluded that coming out of the automatic sleep function with any USB device active would freeze the entire USB bus. After disabling automatic sleep in system preferences, I've had no freezing problems. My machine works fine with the manual sleep function in the Apple Menu.

  • TS3048 Number pad on extended keyboard stopped working after updating to OSX 10.9.1. Testing keyboard on old system still works perfectly.

    Expanded keyboard stopped working correctly after updating my system from OSX 10.8.6 to OSX 10.9.1 and now 10.9.2. The keypad numbers do not work although the numbers along the top of the keyboard work fine. Moving the keyboard back to computer still using 10.8.6 and it works fine.

  • Help, 10.6.8 update, all usb ports stop working after 10hrs

    I've been running 10.5.8 for ever and finnaly tried to update to 10.6.8.. After I did it, the usb ports all kick out any connected devises after around 10 or so hours. I ran of the install disk, using disc utillty, disk repair, and repair permisions a few times and it did not help.
    I did the install a few times  again to try to see if it would help and didnt.
    i tried an erase and install and migrated everything over from my orignal back up external drive that is running 10.5.8 and issue is still  there.
    My old 10.5.8 back up external drive works fine and does not have this issue, and I have been using that as my start up drive instead and working from there. But that is not really a solution and a temp work around.
    Any suggestions would really help. thanks!

    I have a early 2008 macbookpro 2.8 duel with silver keys.
    I purchaed the 10.6 disk from the apple store. I've had the machine for years and purchased it refurbished from apple.
    I did the erase and install and migrated everything over from external drive, then did update to 10.6.8 and the usb ports still would stop working after a few hours.. Then I read on another apple community forus to reset pram, and pull out the power cable, take out the battery and hold power key for 5 seconds, then restart. that seemed to fix usb issue so far..
    But overall my computer seems to be running slower then when using just 10.5.8 and it did not wake from sleep once and I had to force power off and restart.. But maybe its just getting used to 10.6.8. we will see..
    Also, on another note, my battery is totally dead, and I can only run computer with power cable.. Will this affect things? it never did with 10.5.8..
    Oh, on my erase and install, I just did the simplest version and did not do the full erase to zero using he advanced security measures.. I just did the one where it writes on top of everything..

  • Mouse and Keyboard stops working after a while

    Hi, I'm not even sure where to start to find the cause of the problem. I have a normal ps/2 keyboard and USB optical mouse, both of them just stops working after a few hours. The light on the mouse just dies and the keyboard is not responsive at all.  I have to do a hard reboot of my computer. How and where can I diagnose the problem? I noticed the problem started when I upgraded to the latest kernel.

    And then after a while it will just use a new address:
    Oct 31 01:47:15 wdesktop usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 6
    Oct 31 01:47:15 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
    Oct 31 01:47:16 wdesktop usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    Oct 31 01:47:16 wdesktop input: Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical as /class/input/input8
    Oct 31 01:47:16 wdesktop input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical] on usb-0000:00:10.0-1
    Then after that my mouse is unusable, the following is shown:
    Oct 31 01:48:41 wdesktop usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 7
    Oct 31 01:48:41 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
    Oct 31 01:49:13 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9
    Oct 31 01:49:45 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10
    Oct 31 01:49:56 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 11
    Oct 31 01:50:08 wdesktop uhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: Controller not stopped yet!
    Unplugging and plugging the mouse back does not work
    I found a workaround for that by unplugging the mouse, removing the uhci_hcd and adding it back, so:
    sudo rmmod uhci_hcd
    sudo modprobe uhci-hcd
    But I'm still not sure what causes the problem.
