Keyboard gradually becomes unresponsive

Hey. I've noticed a kind of odd problem on my MacBook (2.16 GHz, running 10.4.10, two weeks old, clean installs of software). After use for a few hours, put to sleep and woken up, the keyboard becomes progressively ignored. I usually notice it first with the command key - I'm using it mostly for web surfing, so I'm not purely entering text, more frequently shifting between apps. I lose the ability to do a Cmd-H, and in a short while can no longer enter text.
Anyone had this problem? Any suggestions?

I figured it out!
I keep hitting the Num Lock key, and then all goes to ****.
Still have no clue what the Num Lock key actually does...

My trackpad and keyboard randomly become unresponsive on MBP Retina

I just got my Macbook Pro with Retina a week ago. Its the newest model that just came out the week I got it. Its a 13 Inch. I noticed when I am using it, the trackpad and kayboard randomly become unresponsive for sometime. I have to close it and wait for it to start working again. Do you have any idea what the problem might be. Should I contact Apple?

I went through this with my old Late 2008 Macbook Uni when I installed Kingston Value RAM.
Take your new RAM out - install your old RAM back - do a PRAM reset and see if your keyboard and trackpad are working again.
Once that's done - turn your Macbook off - install the new RAM - if keyboard and trackpad are unresponsive again - install different brand of RAM.
I ended up intalling Crucial RAM in mine.
Good luck.

My aluminum keyboard is becoming unresponsive.

Recently, my keyboard for my Mac Pro 1,1 has randomly become unresponsive. Disconnecting and reconnecting it resolves the problem for several minutes, then it becomes unresponsive again. This started occurring a couple of days ago, but has never happened before. Nothing configuration wise has changed. I've already performed a disk/permission verification and repair with no success. Any suggestions would be greatly apprecicated.

Linc, I did some testing and verified this only occurs when plugging in my iPhone 4 - the keyboard will intermittently die out and eventually become unavailable. Unplugging the iPhone solves the problem. Did Apple not supply enough power to the USB system to charge my iPhone and use a keyboard at the same time? Those are the only two devices connected...

X61 Keyboard buttons becoming unresponsive

Hi, when I press either of the buttons above the left and right scroll buttons, the keyboard (excluding the windows button and CTRL ALT DEL) becomes unresponsive. Does anyone know how I can reverse this - and what are these buttons for? The buttons have a rectangle with left or right corner folded over. Thanks John

MPro, 10.7.5 mouse/keyboard intermittently become unresponsive

I am running OS 10.7.5 on a 2009 Mac Pro and recently the mouse started to intermittently become unresponsive. I usually can fix this by conecting the mouse to a different usb port but last time it happened this didn't work and I also lost the keyboard. I switched both mouse and keyboard and problem persisted, even when moving to different usb ports. After several hard reboots the mouse and keyboard came back and has been working since. I know the second mouse and keyboard are good and I am able to ptint from all the usb ports on the Mac Pro so I son't think it's a hardware problem. Could this be some kind of driver conflict? There are two canon usb printer drivers installed and two network printers )Lexmark and Brother). I have been running software update regularly. No other problems and I do regular disk maintenance (Diskwarrior). There are two SSDs and two hard drives installed, 32 GB ram. No problems with any hardware that I know of. Could a memory error? Thanks in advance for any ideas as to cause or insights into tracking it down appreciated.

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Help! my GS3 keyboard randomly becomes unresponsive

It's fine for days or weeks then randomly locks up...either the keyboard doesn't even appear or its just unresponsive. I've googled the topic but seems like i'm all alone with this one. Does anybody have a solution? I've downloaded another keyboard app which works right now but the return and menu buttons also act up periodically.

Hi RJBoud
That's a very odd situation. Let's look into this together. The issue may be caused by a third party application. Please try powering the device in safe mode and retest. Here's how:http://bit.ly/Wvg2zd
Please let me know if the issue persists. I would be happy to further troubleshoot.
Thank you

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):

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:

Keyboard and Multi-Touch trackpad may become unresponsive on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

Folks,
I have exacly same sympton described here on my 5 day old 15 inc macbook pro.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5296
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013): Keyboard and Multi-Touch trackpad may become unresponsive
Has anone tried to apply this patch on 15 inc ?
Kind Regards,
Neroshige

The patch is only for MBP late 2013 13 inch. 15 inch is not able to install this patch
I'm facing this problem intermittently.
When my keyboard & trackpad went unresponsive, I plug in my USB keyboard and the keyboard & trackpad went back normal.
I search the web and somebody highlight it may due to connector to keyboard/trackpad appear to be curled.
Not sure is hardware problem or software bug...

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.

Sometimes my keyboard becomes unresponsive when using Photoshop CS6, & I have to restart

Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS6, I've found that every once in a while the keyboard becomes unresponsive. I can't tell whether anything specific that I'm doing triggers it, but I'll be editing an image and will press a shortcut key and find it doesn't work. It doesn't happen when I first open up an image, but usually after I've been working for a while. As far as I can tell (it's pretty random) it seems to happen when I'm using a tool to apply an effect to an image, like this last time it happened when I'd been using the Spot Healing Brush repeatedly on a photograph. (Of course that could be correlation without causality, since I'm a big fan of the Spot Healing Brush and tend to use it quite a bit whenever I'm editing photos). Note that the modifier keys still function, but all of the letter and number keys are unresponsive.
Sometimes - and lately it seems like it happens always, there's a sound associated with the shut off. It's possible that the times I didn't hear the sound I had my speakers off. It's a brief clicking noise - and I don't think it's any of the built-in alert sounds on my Mac, since I just listened to all of them and I recall this sound being different - but the sound is definitely coming from my speakers and is not a mechanical sound from the machine. I have no idea what might be causing this. I saw someone complaining of this a couple of years ago, who thought it might have to do with a Wacom tablet. I own one, but don't always use it, and this happens even when I'm not using it. The only way I've found to get my keyboard responding again is to shut down Photoshop and restart.
I'm on a Macbook Pro, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, with 8GB Ram; I'm on OS X 10.7.4 (not quite ready to upgrade to Mountain Lion).

Okay - it looks like I've solved my own problem after a few hours searching for related problems on the web. It's not a problem with Photoshop but with Mac OS X. The default "Universal Access" mouse and trackpad preferences were set to "Press the Option Key five times to turn Mouse Keys On or Off." So when I use a tool that I'm modifying with the option key, and I use it repeatedly five times in a row, I hear the clicking sound that means turn on "Mouse Keys" (and turn off the regular keys). Turn off that option, and the problem is solved!

Keyboard and trackpad unresponsive on Late 2013 15" MBP Retina w/ Nvidia graphics

I just got my a new 15" retina MacBook Pro and am experiencing trackpad and keyboad unresponsiveness. The issue doesn't resolve itself with a restart. I can unblock myself by doing an SMC reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) but after some arbitrary amout of time, the keyboard and trackpad become unresponsive again. I can connect a USB mouse and keyboard or bluetooth mouse and keyboard and those will work. HELP!

Keyboard and Touchpad Unresponsive - OS X 10.6.8 Macbook Pro

I am experiencing intermittent issues with my Keyboard and Touchpad. They will become unresponsive and the only solutions have been putting the laptop into hibernate mode, then returning to it or multiple hard restarts - depending on the severity of the situation. This has been happening daily for about a week. The most recent change has been an update to 10.6.8. The issue seems to be getting worse, with more hard restarts.
Hibernate mode (default) has also been causing problems, often hard restarting instead of waking up.
Any suggestions on how to remedy this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

That only applies for the versions of Safari compatible with Snow Leopard. Newer ones require Lion or above; alternatively, you can switch to a product such as Firefox.
To upgrade the computer's OS, pen the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Photoshop CS6 - Quick Selection tool freezes Photoshop/ becomes unresponsive for minutes

After only two selections the tool becomes unresponsive for minutes.
I'm on a 2.6 Ghz retina MacBook Pro, 16 Gb RAM, and this in connection with an SSD should make this tool very good to use. Operating system: OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", latest update.
Unfortunately, it seems to develop some kind of overload, during which you cannot use Photoshop at all. No commands like "undo selection", "quit", "close file" are accepted.
There is no beachball, no other signs that Photoshop is working on something.
Hint: it seems to happen when you option select (subtract from an existing selection).
Hint: the freeze can be shortened by a tool switch (has to be through clicking on a tool, keyboard commands are frozen as well)
Hint: the "subtract selection" move that caused the freeze appears after Photoshop comes back to life after a couple of minutes. The subtraction to the selection seems to be random, makes no sense, and is not the regular function of the tool.
First step after this freeze would be to undo the last selection, and continue working.
If you do several "add to selection" moves, they add up in a kind of waiting line. If you do the subtract from selection move, this doesn't work, and the freeze happens.
So far, I have not noticed the freeze when adding to a selection. Adding to a selection was always quick and instant. The bug must sit in the "subtract from selection" code.
On most freezes, the ants continue walking, I just had one (again with subtracting selection) where even the ants stopped walking.
I don't think it has anything to do with Photoshop working. I have used the quick selection tool regularly under CS5 on my old machine (which was a museum piece), and while I had to wait sometimes, it was never ground to a freeze/halt like the quick selection tool under CS6.

Did this work before, or has it always been this way? Not a bug or everyone with your system would be complaining. Have not seen that.
If it has always worked that way a reset of preferences will probably not do anything.
A reset of preferences will reset to factory defaults, so you will have to reset to saved workspace.
Do you have at least 10% free disk space?

MacBook Pro Retina - Keyboard and Touchpad Unresponsive While Charging

Hi all,
I am having some trouble with my early 2014 15" Retina MacBook Pro.
Sometimes when attempting to charge my laptop, if I have been out and about, I can only have the charger plugged in for 30 seconds maximum upon booting up the machine, before the touchpad and keyboard become unresponsive.
The fans normally whirl loudly and then I lose both the touchpad and keyboard, to the extent that my MacBook attempts to search for a bluetooth keyboard as it can not detect one connected.
This has only happened twice but its becoming a major annoyance and a big concern on such a high value item.
Has anyone had any experience of this type of behaviour?
Thanks,
Kevin

Try a SMC reset:

Ciao.

MacBook Pro keyboard is totally unresponsive (except power button). Low battery was triggered last night, and work was conducted after power was connected. I closed the lid and went to sleep, and this morning I cannot log into my laptop.

The keyboard that is in the Mac is not functioning with the exception of the power button.
Since I am traveling, without a rental car, purchase of an external USB keyboard to troubleshoot and/or resolve the problem is not practical.
How do i wake up the keyboard?
