Keyboard and Mouse fail to respond

I am running OS X (10.5.5).
Every few days, the keyboard and trackpad mouse stop responding (pointer disappears). This happens randomly (while using VLC, while in the terminal, anywhere!) every few days.
If I press the power button, the "shutdown, restart,..." menu appears (but no keyboard). If I disconnect the power, screen updates (not connected).
But I can't use the keyboard/trackpad until I restart the computer (by manually holding down the power button).
Thanks for your help in advance.

I have had this same problem since the beginning of September or so, and I have noticed that other posters of similar problems all report that they are using 10.5.5 (like you and me). It usually happens after I haven't used the keyboard and touchpad for a few minutes (like if I leave my desk for coffee), and usually only after the screen has auto-dimmed.
So far, I have been able to jumpstart it by putting it in and out of standby.

What to do if your keyboard and mouse are not responding

What do I do if I were just on my computer and suddenly my keyboard and mouse quit working? I had a few windows open and I was currently scrolling when it froze. I forced the device to shut down and when it booted back up, the bluetoothe setup assistant popped up asking to plug in my keyboard. All my previous windows also opened back up, but still no use of mouse or keyboard.

Could be interference, batteries are going dead or something else.
Keep a wired keyboard and mouse around, in fact one with a nice 3-4 foot cord.
I buy mine from donation places where businesses dump their old rock solid clicky clack USB PC keyboards that are build like a tank, I abuse them too all the time. Drop them, throw them around the room even.
This one I've got, it's over 3 years old and still is rock solid. Only $4 each.
Rare to get a good used mouse though, really have to buy the newer optical ones now anyway, unless one likes cleaning rollers and the ball.
You need a wired keyboard to execute the boot key commands.

SOLVED Key board and mouse fail after last update

Both my wireless keyboard and mouse failed after I updated yesterday. I'm using KNOPPIX to post they both work with knoppix so its not a hardware problem.

Thanks a lot
Just want to add that I had to edit grub at start up and add "single" at the end of the kernel line.
The reason is that switching to runlevel 3 didn't work for me.

My keyboard and mouse pad aren't responding

When I started my Macbook this morning the keyboard and mouse pad didn't respond.
In my office I use a USB-keyboard and MightyMouse and it seems like the MB still thinks they are plugged in. Now I have attached a different keyboard and mouse but the computer still behaves as if I am using my office keyboard.
What should I do?
PS: This happened after I installed the latest update. Could this have something to do with it?

Try going to System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Trackpad> and toggling (check and then uncheck or the reverse) the option "Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click". I have my system set to safe sleep (hibernatemode 1) instead of the default sleep and the trackpad doesn't appear to load correctly on wake from sleep and the keyboard sometimes fails to respond. Doing the previous appears to reload the trackpad or at least makes it function correctly.
As for the keyboard functionality, I run my fingers across the rows of keys and within a minute the system recognizes the keyboard. The keyboard failure is rare, that trackpad is constant. this has happened since 10.4.6 and I don't know if it always did or is a regression.
For the keyboard section you may want to check System Preferences>International>Input Menu and try toggling the keyboard layout.
If you have a third party driver that may be causing an issue because I'm not sure how a Mac keyboard should work differently from any other keyboard with the right buttons.
Good Luck,

Macbook pro does not respond to bluetooth keyboard and mouse at login screen

i've seen this question floating around and i don't think i've found one that has been resolved. i'm hoping someone may have an answer by now.
i do not have this issue when i boot into windows 7 (bootcamp) the macbook pro responds to keyboard input and mouse input immediately on the windows 7 login screen. when i boot into mac, there is no response from either. i've seen suggestions of waiting for 30 secods. i still get nothing after waiting for over a minute.
what i do right now is use the built-in touch pad and keyboard of the macbook pro to get past the login screen. once i'm logged in, i can see that the bluetooth devices are not yet connected (the three dots that go across the bluetooth symbol at the top right of the screen are not yet there). then after a while, maybe about half a minute, the bluetooth keyboard and mouse are connected and i can use them normally.
it is not a big deal but it is very annoying.
i am using a logitech bluetooth mouse (v740) and an adesso bluetooth keyboard (wkb-4000bm). i also tried an azio bluetooth keyboard and had the same issue. all these keyboards are made for mac.
thannks in advance.

just a correction, the keyboard and mouse don't always automatically reconnect once i'm logged in. most of the time i have to go click the bluetooth icon at the top right of my screen, select the mouse and then select "connect". i have to do the same to the keyboard.

Why don't my Apple USB keyboard and mouse work in Win XP after bootcamp driver installed

Hey there,
I just installed Win XP Pro + SP2 using Bootcamp 3.0 on my Mac Pro 1.1 (2006) which is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). The Win XP installation went flawlessly and everything seemed to be working OK (mouse & keyboard were fine) until I installed the Bootcamp drivers from my OS X installation DVD. The installation didn't report any problems, but when it was finished, the keyboard (Apple USB keyboard) and mouse (Logitech USB mouse) stopped responding. No power to the mouse at all makes me believe that it is actually the USB drivers themselves that have failed. Rebooting WinXP didn't solve the problem - it boots WinXP just fine (and fast!), shows the Bootcamp Help screen, but no mouse or keyboard, a.k.a., USB, response.
Can I recover from this somehow?
Help please?
Thanks,
Ron

Problem solved.
It seems that the boot camp 3.0 drivers installed from my 10.6.8 DVD weren't sufficient. I repeated the install from scratch, but rather than rebooting as soon as the BC 3.0 drivers were installed, I allowed the Apple Update utility to D/L and install the BC 3.1 and 3.2 updates. Viola! Everything works brilliantly. My Mac Pro is now the best Windows PC I have ever owned

870A Fuzion Power has problem with keyboard and mouse movement only in games.

Hey guys,
recently built a new system and chose to go with the 870A Fuzion Power mainboard, everything has gone very smoothly execpt for one problem, only when I play games like Crysis 2 ect the mouse seems to jolt around now and again and the keyboard decides to stop responding if I hold down the movement keys, and this is only in game not surfing the web for example. Now, I am using a wireless mouse and keyboard but I plugged in a PS/2 keyboard and the exact same thing happened. I've installed all of the drivers that came with this board and the drivers for the mouse and keyboard. Any of you guys ever had this sort of problem or know how to fix this?
Thanks.

I bought a new Macbook pro in june 2010, I didn't have any keyboard or mouse issues prior to upgrading to 10.6.4 supposedly this update was made to fix some issues with keyboard and mouse becoming unresponsive. For me the opposite happened. after the upgrade, my keyboard and mouse (trackpad) becomes sometimes partially unresponsive or totally unresponsive. the only way to solve the problem is by completely turning of the computer and turning back on.. granted it doesn't happen very often.. generally once every about 2-3 weeks but it is still annoying though..
I didn't have a chance to use the computer too much on the previous version (10.6.3) so I don't know if it is software related or hardware related.. any thoughts?

Problem with keyboard and mouse pm8m-v

I have gotten this pm8m-v from a freind who knew nothing about computers. He had problems with the keyboard and mouse not responding at start up or just freeze on him. So I check it out, called MSI and even sent it to them, they claimed that there was nothing wrong with the board. So here are the specs of the computer now:
pm8m-v motherboard
2-256MB memory PC-2700 DDR 333Mhz
intel P4 2.6GHz
codegen power supply 300W
gateway CDW
western digital 40 harddrive
the rest is on board stuff
the problem is still there and it is driving me crazy, can you please help?

I had the same problem with the PM8M-V, today as a matter of fact, and I kept getting locked up at the point where I had to hit enter to load the WinXP CD to setup the system. After finding this topic I tried a different keyboard. The one that was being used was a Kennsiington PS2 cheapo, I swapped it for a Microsoft (one of those ergonomic styles and I've had it for a long time) Keyboard PS2, and the problem went away. I'm typing on the Kennsington right now, so it's fine just wasn't liked by the PM8M-V for some reason.

Keyboard and touchpad do not respond temporarily

Hi all!
While working on my Macbook Pro mid 2010 (Mountain Lion) the keyboard and touchpad sometimes don't repond. Everything else on the Macbook seems to work as usual, e. g. the power button works and I can see how the logfiles are updated on the console. Currently this problem occures about one time a week
When I close the lid, the Macbook goes to sleep and when I open the lid again, keyboard and mouse work as before.
In the logfiles the only that sounds to coorespond to the problem is:
AppleUSBMultitouchDriver::validateChecksum - 512-byte packet checksum is incorrect
But the time when it occures doesn't correspond to the time when keyboard and touchpad stop responding.
SMC and PRAM reset did not solve the problem. Maybe I have to mention that the logicboard was replaced 2 month ago and can't remember that htis problem accured before.
Any help is appreciated.

Keyboard and mouse randomly don't work after boot

Hello there, I have been having a problem lately with the keyboard. Some times after the booting process it doesn't work, forcing me to restart my laptop even 3 or 4 times before getting it to work properly.
Here is the keyboard boot process. wich has actually a problem that I can't understand clearly.
dmesg |grep keyboard
[ 2.308714] atkbd serio0: Failed to deactivate keyboard on isa0060/serio0
[ 2.959550] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0
I noticed this error during the boot preocess, how should it be interpreted?
I'm sure in the kernel, the device atkbd is selected.
The synaptics mouse instead, doesn't work properly in X
My mouse is a synaptic touchpad and when I start x, instead of loading the synaptic device, xfce simply see it as ps/2. Also this happens randomly.
dmesg |grep mouse

Any suggestion?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Has your keyboard and mouse quit working altogether or just when the computer is hot? And do I understand that an external keyboard and mouse will work with no problems?
And I am wondering about your computer running unusually hot. Are your fans operating properly? You might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to be sure that the fans and thermal sensors are working properly. If they are not, you will get one or more error codes.
Another thing to do to check when your Mac is unusually hot is the Activity Monitor. Select "All Processes" at the top right and check for any process running that should not be which is using lots of CPU.
I don't know if the keyboard problem is related to the heat problem or not, but I would want to know what is causing the heat problem too. Over time, excessive heat can cause damage to the logic board. It could also conceivably damage the ribbon cable which connects the keyboard and I would guess that the trackpad could also be affected. So it is important to see what is going on here. If you have been experiencing excessive heat on a regular basis, this might be the underlying cause of your keyboard and trackpad problems. If so, the heat problem will have to be fixed or the other problem will recur over time.
Try the AHT and post back with any results. Also, use iStatPro to check on your fans and make sure both are running at roughly equal speeds and that they run faster when the computer gets hot.
Good luck!

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.

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.)

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.

Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
I am running Snow leopard.
I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
Thanks

Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
Hope that helps.

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 pad do not work; authorised service?

the keyboard and mouse pad on my new macbook (3 weeks old)have stopped responding. I have tried everything to restore it except reinstalling the operating system. The disk utility and hardware test do not show any problems, and when I attach an external mouse and keyboard the computer works just fine. Can this problem be anything other than a faulty connection or lose wire?
I live in Venezuela and will have major problems getting the mac back to the US (where it was purchased) for service. Apparently there are "authorised service providers" here in caracas; does that mean they can work on my mac without me losing the warranty?
thanks for any help..

Huh...I've never managed to do what you have, so I'm a bit out of ideas...
That being said, if a customer brought me a machine in that condition, I'd boot from a "live" Linux CD, save all important data on an external drive, wipe the HD clean and install a fresh OS.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

My third party keyboard and mouse won't connect to my MacBook Pro

I recently purchased an Insignia keyboard and mouse combo. I'm trying to connect them to my MacBook Pro and they refuse to respond. On the box and online it said that this combo was Mac compatible. I am running OSX 10.9.4.

Sorry i should have mentioned that; i already have installed the drivers. I have the little boot camp console thingy and the display became to the right resolution after installing the drivers, so i know i have. Its something else, Windows based i think.
