Filevault 2 - no keyboard/mouse response

If I force shutdown my computer (hold down power), there's no keyboard/mouse response on the Filevault login screen. The only way to fix it is to connect an external keyboard, and after I enter my password, they both work again. What's wrong?

hal is installed and i think setup correctly (considering when running xterm w/ hotplugging enabled i have mouse and keyboard support). xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse are installed.
hotplugging:
With hotplugging enabled testing via X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf fails. Testing via setting ~/.xinitrc to exec xterm results in a terminal with mouse + keyboard working. Setting ~/.xinitrc to exec startlxde results in LXDE apparently loading correctly (graphics look ok) however I have no mouse/keyboard.
log: http://elvis.rowan.edu/~petzin02/Xorg.0 … ug_enabled
w/o hotplugging:
Disabling hotplugging in xorg.conf results in the X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf test failing same as above. The xterm test loads a terminal but I have no mouse or keyboard. LXDE same as above, appears to load ok but no mouse or keyboard

FASTER RESPONSE FROM keyboard/mouse actions?

1.42 GHz PPC G4, 1GB DDR SD Ram (4200 rph HD)
How can I DECREASE computer RESPONSE action/time to day to day activities?
It is not clear what 'slows down' software/computer responses and causes the spinning balls in relatively simple actions.
My usage is not 'heavy' nor 'complex'; Typically Mail, Safari, FoxFire, Word 2007, TextEditPlus,
QuickTime (music on occasion). Occasionally Adobe Reader and Photoshop Elements. Safari often more spinning balls than others.
By turning OFF USB an external HD with switching Power Supply that helps avoid delays. But what
else can be done?
I choose to stay with Tiger 10.4.11 - and do NOT chose to go to a later version of the OS.
Is there a "faster response" time for later versions of the Mini?
Given that my first Mac was a 400k floppy machine with MacWrite and MacDraw - in relative terms we I do now is like a supersonic jet... but mine needs a booster -
ideas??

Your computer's list of items in-use, per Activity Monitor, tell you
what is running and while these are Active, give an idea of how
much of the computer's configuration (hard/soft-ware) resources
are being used. Also, the Activity Monitor can tell you the load
of Virtual Memory and actual Chip RAM demands of Apps.
The interface of USB mouse and keyboard can act slowed-down
when the computer resources are running loaded. Even with up
to 75% hard disk drive free-space (unused, except for system
use as Virtual Memory and application temp or swap space) my
computer with an 8GB HDD can also, at times, have a slow key-
board and mouse.
If you have more than one browser window open, or run Office
and some other apps at the same time, the overall load on the
Mini G4 (with the 1024MB max RAM installed) can be critical.
The virtual memory write/read cycles to the hard disk drive
increase, and this will also add to a lag when there is a rush
of demand on diminishing resources; plus, a tired old HDD.
Do you occasionally log-out of the main user account and log
back in? This can sometimes help free-up RAM and other use
of system resources, without having to restart the Mac.
How often do you restart the computer, & do you leave it to sleep
when not in use, or do you power it off? Just curious.
As the computer gets older and the hard disk drive more worn,
it may be running warmer and slower; less efficiently and tired,
this lag may be more apparent and point to a need to replace
the internal hard disk drive with a new, larger & better spec unit.
In some instances, there had been a controversy over which was
faster to the computer's processor and RAM (system bus) - be it
a 400 Mbit FW400 external hard disk drive, or a hard disk drive
on the computer's own bus. Some tests, machine series dependant,
showed a variable; with some FW400 enclosures running slower
than the internal computer's hard disk drive.
I've found both slower and faster (depending on the computer)
using an external HDD in FireWire400 enclosure, vs the native
drive; with even a 7200 RPM 250GB HDD running thoroughput
slower than an internal 5400 RPM 80GB drive; but not always.
Do you use a powered USB hub with the peripheral items your
computer is attached to, when running the Mini? For mine, the
better setup was to use powered USB hubs, with the keyboard
plugged directly into the Mac (for startup keyboard combo access)
and the mouse plugged into a port on the powered USB hub.
To note, if there is an issue with this set-up, to troubleshoot the
powered USB hub and have a spare keyboard & mouse available.
Usually, an over-whelmed USB port in a computer will give you a
warning message implying an under-powered state exists, & near
the total possible output of voltage to the USB port is approached.
The USB bus can only support a limited ceiling; there also is a limit
on FW port loads, and devices exceeding that amount will affect all
items on their respective bus. (Example why self-powered is best.)
When you went to the AppleJack download page and clicked on
the link to get the download to start, does your browser show you
a Downloads list and ask you where/how you want the item saved?
I have mine set so I can see any/all items, choose to install them;
& have the .dmg or other image file on the desktop where I can
see it. (In 10.5.8, the default is in a Dock location for Downloads.)
How the browser is set to handle downloads can affect results.
If your computer has been acting oddly, there may be some
kind of file corruption or data corruption causing issues in it.
This link, in Firefox, goes to the download item for AppleJack
directly, in my browser, the default is set and asks me what
I want to do about it. The main option is to accept it and then
it will download to the desktop (Tiger 10.4.11) as a .dmg. It
will not open, and does not display some kind of picture:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack/files/AppleJack/AppleJack-1.6/AppleJac k-1.6.dmg/download
You should make a good backup, a bootable clone of your Mini's
entire hard disk drive contents, test it well, and then consider a
course of maintenance and repair of the internal hard drive; or get
a new replacement hard disk drive and upgrade the Mini with it.
Only 5 interruptions here, in the course of this reply to the question.
(Could be worse; some days they can be hours long; or weeks.
There is a story, non-computer related to the reader, going on.)
{Spindown Fix software has been tested in Mac OS X 10.2.3 only.
The older software suggested, may help if the external is going to
sleep if used as a boot startup volume; since once a external boot
FW goes to sleep, the computer may not see it when it awakens.}
The Mini is sort of like a portable computer, in that the hard drive
gets a thorough work-out and it has limited upgrade capabilities.
So, for a hard disk drive to last 3 to 5 years, is lucky run. At least
the unit isn't being hauled around while asleep, as a 'Book may;
and isn't as likely to be dropped from the lap while it's running...!
+{Yes, it's a long post. Sorta like a Totem.}+
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I control two Macs with one keyboard & mouse simultaneously?

I'm presently the operator and head audio tech for a major Off-Broadway show. I'm running the show on Ableton Live 6 through a Mac Mini, using a MOTU 828mkIII as the Firewire audio interface to the console. "Show control" is basically straight music playback, plus arming and disarming loops, triggering sound FX cues, and stopping and starting playback. The show has been exceedingly stable, no real reason to worry - but the fact that I don't have a redundant backup system concerns me. Theoretically, I can use our Denon CD players to run the show off of discs I've burned, but it's only viable for me because I know the show; a sub running the show would be up the creek - and if we hit a snag and run out of loops, forget it. Furthermore, those of you who've worked with Live know that in a performance based/show control situation, you can remain in an audio loop indefinitely, without any worry of a CD running out of prerecorded loops. (This is a specific reason why we're using Ableton for this show - the music can keep "vamping" until automation and rigging give me the clear to proceed.)
Considering that I'll be taking some time off this summer, I don't want this to be a concern for my sub(s), so I've charged myself with the task of building a redundant backup. Problem is, I'm not sure how to do it.
What I've been looking at is a dual Ableton Live/Mac Mini/Firewire interface system. Basically, to duplicate what's running the show presently, and have it running in tandem while the main playback system goes to the house - but for both to be controlled by only one mouse, keyboard and screen, so there's no delay in the event of a crash. If one fails, I send the audio from the backup into the theatre. There would be no disruption of playback, except for the operator`s response time in switching to the backup`s audio output.
Software like Synergy and Teleport let me share a single keyboard, mouse, and screen over two or more computers - +but only control one computer at a time+. And I've looked for KVM switches and USB "splitters" but they also seem to be toggle devices between one or another computer - which leads me to think I may have to network the two...
Any ideas are appreciated, even the obvious ones, as I may have overlooked some or assumed some to be out of the question.
That`s basically it - *simultaneous realtime* control of two computers from one keyboard and mouse. Both Minis performing the same task at the same time.
Is there software/hardware that can do it, or can I network the backup as a "slave" that mimics the master?
Thanks.

Perhaps you could setup a parallel processing network:

Using a wireless generic Keyboard/Mouse to install Windows 7?

I am currently using a Logitech wireless USB mouse and keyboard with a new Mac Mini. These are specified for use with Windows PC's, but work fine with the Mac Mini without the installation on any drivers, apparently as generic devices. My question is can I use this keyboard and mouse to install Windows 7 with Bootcamp without them becoming non-responsive at some point in the procedure? The instructions for Boot Camp say to use the mouse and keyboard that came with your Mac, but obviously this does not apply to the Mac Mini which comes with neither.

Thanks, guys, for the replies. You have convinced me not to attempt the W7 load until I have wired a USM keyboard/mouse plugged into the Mac Mini. It's much easier for me to get ones for a PC than an Apple. Do you think these will work generically on the Mini, as do the wireless devices I now have, and get me through the W7 installation without hanging up?

The keyboard /mouse unresponsive in yosemite on my Mac Air Late 2010

How do I fix the problem of lack of responsiveness with my keyboard/mouse after installing yosemite on my late 2010 Mac Air? Losing typing ability in mid sentence!!

If the following doesn't work, then there is a server error.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Microsoft Bluetooth 2.0 Elite keyboard + Mouse

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how well (or even if) the "Microsoft Bluetooth 2.0 Elite keyboard + Mouse" work with a bluetooth enabled Mac mini?
Any info would be great.
Cheers,
A.

Well, I can not answer your question about a mac mini and this particular keyboard/mouse but I can describe my experience with this microsoft combo and iMac G4 with D-Link bluetooth stick (Microsoft bluetooth stick does not work!!!).
Setup was a breeze - my mac has recognized the mouse and keyboard in an instant, paired with the keyboard and mouse (just asked me to enter the random 6 digit on the keyboard and press Enter).
Now to usage experiences:
Mouse: All buttons work as expected, you can program additional functions (like Expose or whatever you like to the extra buttons (They show up as mouse button 3 (wheel click), 4 and 5. Mouse is pretty responsive, maybe a bit too responsive, so I had to move the Sensitivity slider slightly down.
Keyboard: all the dedicated buttons (Favorities, Messenger, email etc) do not work except for: Volume up/down, mute and Standby (pressing this one gives you standard window with Shutdown/Restart/Sleep options). Scroll wheel works fine (also sideways - on mouse too!!!)
Shortcomings:
1. Moving mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard will not wake up the mac from sleep - you'll have to use On switch in the back of your mac.
2. After waking up it takes about 10 to 20 seconds for mouse and keyboard to connect - after few trials my method to connect is as follows: after 10 to 20 seconds after waking the mac from sleep move the mouse and click (mouse connects) then press any key on the keyboard to connect the keyboard.
3. When changing users, sometimes I get the dialog "Please press the the key next to the left shift key" (or something like that ) (I guess this is the way system X recognizes what keyboard it has to do with )
If you can live with whose limitations, this maybe keyboard for you (mine was a gift, so I just got used to it and use Butler for programming the function keys)

Mouse response in Citrix Metaframe

We have a Citrix metframe app on the intrenet that was working fine with BM 3.8 and NW 6.5 sp4. Once we upgraded the OS to NW 6.5 sp6 - the mouse response became bad - especially when seleting menu items. Novell would not help - 3.8 is no longer supported so we updated our lab to 3.9.1 and the mouse issues continue. I would think it was TCPIP - but I have upgraded lab to the newest TCPIP I could find - still have mouse issues.
To be clear - the mouse moves and looks fine - but when you click on items nothing happens. To select menu items you must use the keyboard. We are in the process of trying sp7 - knowing that is what Novell will say - but was wondering if anyone out there has any ideas?

Same problem here. We are running nw6.5sp7 with all current patches and bm3.9 SP1. Latest proxy.cfg from craig. Citrix (ICA) access and RDP access (VDI) Through the proxy has such a big delay that mouse movements are jerky and slow.
We have an older bm 3.8 server that is working fine with ica and rdp ???

Hen

Multiple USB inputs - Keyboard/Mouse, Novation Remote, and Mackie MUC Pro

Im running a Macbook Pro, 10.4 with Logic 8. I just got a Mackie Universal Controller Pro and also use a Novation Remote 49. Ive got an additional 20" screen, with the USB inputs as well.
Im trying to hook up:
- External keyboard and mouse
- Mackie Universal Control Pro
- Novation Remote
If I plug in the Mackie and the Novation directly to the laptop, everything works. Of course, this then doesnt allow me to plug in the keyboard/mouse as there are only 2 usb ports on the laptop.
Since Im using the external screen, I have the additional usb inputs on there. So, I plug either the mackie or the novation into one of the usb ports, and then the screen/aux cables into the other. Then I plug the other controller into the screen.
With this configuration - one of the controllers wont be recognized. I generally get a message about reassigning or not reassigning them as well.
Regardless of which I choose, the second controller wont come up. Using the midi preferences and controller parameters within Logic doesnt seem to do much either.
Whats the work around here? If I get a multi USB hub, will this fix it? Im wondering why daisy chaining these pieces doesnt allow the midi to be properly routed or recognized.
Hopefully this makes sense and someone has the solution! Thanks.

Hey - Thanks for the quick response.
'Why don't you leave the controllers connected directly to the computer, and connect your keyboard/mouse to the screen's USB ports?"
Problem is - there are only two USB ports on the compute. In order for the external displays USB port to work, it has to be plugged in to the computer via USB as well. I have the mouse plugged in to the qwerty keyboard, but they both need to be plugged in to a USB port somewhere regardless.
Am I missing something?
It seems like the problem is really trying to plug an external controller in to an apple displays USB port (so that could be a power issue, although the Mackie is self powered, or just general connectivity).
Based on the above, suggestions?

Keyboard not responsive in Win8.1 Login Screen (Normal/Safe mode)

Dear all professional in HP technical support team,
I had conduct upgrade from Window 8 to Window 8.1 last month, it work well without any problem until 4 days ago, the PC cannot start and stuck in HP logo and keep looping for 2 hours.
Then I try to boot in to Recovery mode, conduct dozens of Chkdsk command (chkdsk c: /R /X), turnout all bad sectors has been allocated and the Window finally can boot in to login screen.
However, I am unable to login to desktop since the USB HP wireless keyboard is not responsive, the USB HP wireless mouse work fine, and I am unable to activate 'On-screen Keyboard', I was manage to boot into safe mode, but it turnout the same, because the keyboard not responsive, I cannot input the password and login to both Normal and Safe mode.
I had try to attach a USB wired keyboard and USB wired mouse as well, it turnout the same, mouse is working and keyboard is not responsive.
The mouse and keyboard are working both recovery mode and BIOS environment.
Othe than Reset the PC, please advise is there anyway I can login to the desktop again, or I need to manually re-install the USB wireless keyboard driver from command prompt in Recovery mode.
Thanks for you help in advance.
Best Regard.
Bruch

Hi again Bruch2168,
Thank you for the quick reply!
Since you are not able to return to a previous restore point in recovery mode, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Keyboard & mouse stopped working

I just recently bought a new iMac i7 2 days ago & installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit through bootcamp. Everything was working fine until Windows installed updates. Now when it gets to the windows login screen, the mouse and keyboard stop working so I can't even type in my password to login.
I've gone through many of the posts here & around the net but nothing has solved my problem. The indicator light on the keyboard & mouse just continue to flash but won't connect. I start up Mac OS & everything works fine so it had to be a Windows update that caused the problem since it was working fine before the updates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also want to mention, I'm still fairly new to Mac, as I only used it for video editing in school, so please bear with me if I follow up with ridiculous questions while still familiarizing myself with the new setup.

Hi coolfonz,
for the proper set-up of your keyboard & mouse you'll need to use a wired mouse & keyboard (then you'll have to update the drivers for those wireless probably).

How to use one keyboard, mouse and display for two PC's?

hey guys, right now i'm using a mac mini and also another Windows PC tower. whenever i want to switch between them i need to re-plug in my headphones/keyboard/mouse/display and this is getting annoying. i've been using a usb hub for the mouse and keyboard so it's not as difficult to setup. is there anything out there that'll allow me to switch between them more easily?
what are my options?
thank you

If both are on your intranet, try Synergy.
I personally use the Wormhole. You can drag between desktops.

Windows 7 64-bit with Boot Camp 5: keyboard & mouse don't work

Running OS-X 10.8.5 on iMac 27 Late 2013. Everything goes smoothly installing Windows 7 64-bit with Boot Camp 5.0.4 until Windows does its final reboot (after a complete, apparently successful install), and begins the Windows setup sequence. The first setup screen asks for User name and PC name. My mouse and keyboard do not work at this point. Tried cold rebooting: Windows boots up, detects it needs to do first use setup, and gets to same failure point.
NOTE: I have never had a chance to install the Windows support drivers; but the mouse and keyboard worked through out the istallation.
I've tried two different W7 versions: 64-bit Pro and 64-bit Enterprise [Enterprise is not supported, but I have installed it on an iMac 27 2010, and a MacBook Air 2013.]. Both versions of W7 hang at the same point described above.
I've tried a Windows DVD install disk plus Windows support drivers on a flash drive; and I've tried a bootable flash drive with everything on it. Both fail at the same point.
I have tried both wireless and USB keyboards and mouse. Same failure.
I have even tried removing the flash drive with Windows support drivers before the final reboot. Same failure.
NOTE: when I reboot in OS-X and go to the Startup Disk, the windows option says "Untitled Windows" instead of Boot Camp; but I can select it, and it starts the Windows boot which ends up at the same Windows setup failure point.
Has anyone had the same problem?
Has anyone succeeded? If so, any special actions or ideas?

The issue may be related to the iMac 2013 only having USB 3.0 ports and that windows 7 does not come with drivers for it. Try the following (borrowed from answer on Mac Rumors Forums http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1659481):
<quote>
If you run into issues with keyboard and mouse not working (due to USB 3.0 and Win 7 incompatibility), you need to run your Win 7 partition (and Win 7 installation disk/partition) in legacy mode. (I found this information at:http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support#faq123 - see "Method using Terminal"). Here you will be setting the legacy on the installation volume of win 7, not bootcamp partition (yet). After running the diskutil list find the volume with installer of Win 7, and then run the command (substituting the disk1s2 below with the information you find through diskutil on your computer:
sudo /usr/sbin/bless --device /dev/disk1s2 --setBoot --nextonly --legacy
Enter administrative password when prompted. Next, select Restart from the Apple menu. Do not hold the Option key while restarting.
You should have mouse/keyboard working. Begin the Windows 7 installation. Upon first restart right after the installer completes, boot into Mac and set the legacy mode for the BootCamp partition (but this time without the --nextonly flag), so you can use keyboard/mouse to complete the installation and thereafter until the USB 3.0 drivers are installed).

No keyboard/mouse in LXDE

I've setup archlinux for the first time and everything seems to be working but when I launch LXDE I have no keyboard/mouse. Although I can ctrl+alt+F1/2 to get back to console and then kill it w/ ctrl+c.
There were 2 Xorg tests in the wiki the first one didn't do anything (blank screen, no input) the second seemed to work (opened a terminal w/ mouse and keyboard support).
I've tried using both input hotplugging and also just the xorg.conf (using hwd -xa to generate xorg.conf w/ hotplugging disabled)
this is an on older laptop, idk if that matters.

hal is installed and i think setup correctly (considering when running xterm w/ hotplugging enabled i have mouse and keyboard support). xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse are installed.
hotplugging:
With hotplugging enabled testing via X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf fails. Testing via setting ~/.xinitrc to exec xterm results in a terminal with mouse + keyboard working. Setting ~/.xinitrc to exec startlxde results in LXDE apparently loading correctly (graphics look ok) however I have no mouse/keyboard.
log: http://elvis.rowan.edu/~petzin02/Xorg.0 … ug_enabled
w/o hotplugging:
Disabling hotplugging in xorg.conf results in the X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf test failing same as above. The xterm test loads a terminal but I have no mouse or keyboard. LXDE same as above, appears to load ok but no mouse or keyboard

Xorg 1.7.1+xf86-video-intel 2.9.1 brokes keyboard,mouse and screen

Hello there. I'm using Archlinux with core+extra repos (xorg-server 1.6.3 and intel drivers 2.8.1). Today I've tried to update to xorg-server 1.7.1+xf86-video-intel 2.9.1 drivers.
After X restart I've got strange screen (Acer One 110 netbook), seems like it vertical divided and I can use only left half of it. But at bottom right corner I can see icons of gxneur and xchat (if running) on stalonetray. All other right half of display as "black hole" - can't see windows moved there and so on.
Keyboard and mouse also doesn't work. Updating xf86-input-keyboard/mouse from testing repo can't solve problem. Also I have "Option "AutoAddDevices" "disable"" in my xorg.conf. So..I've tried to back to previos versions of xorg-server and intel drivers.
Keyboard and mouse are works now, but screen is still vertical divided.. It looks like there is strange transparent "always on top" window at right half of screen, which hides all other windows under it, but couldn't be seen itself.
So.. what can I do to take back working X?

Ok. System upgraded from testing repo. Keyboard and mouse are works. But strange area on screen is still there. It's a strange framebuffer or smth same I think.
