Macbook pro mouse and keyboard don't work after installing drivers.  Help!

I just installed windows XP SP2 on a macbook pro 2.66 i7 running 10.6.4. I installed the boot camp drivers from my OSX install disk and now neither keyboard, trackpad, nor usb mouse work. Not sure what to do other than delete the partition and start over. Any help is much appreciated!

I have the exact same problem with the same two operating systems and the same exact computer. Needless to say, I would also love to get an answer to this question.

  • Thinkpad t42 mouse and keyboard don't work after factory reset

    Hi DK,
    If you are using the Rescue and Recovery to reload Windows, you should never see the "SysPrep 2.0" appear. Are you using the orignal recovery CDs to reload windows or booting from the F11 partition?  To fix this problem, I would simply start the process of reinstalling Windows again.
    Go to this website and follow the guide for Using Rescue and Recovery to Recover your OS
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70803
    If you are still seeing the "System Preparation Tool 2.0" after reloading Windows, do the following:
    Step 1: Under the "Options" box, make sure the following are checked:
    "Don't reset grace period for activation"
    "Use Mini-Setup
    "Don't regenerate security identifiers"
    Step 2: In the drop down menu for "Shutdown mode", change this setting to "Quit"
    Step 3: Click the "Reseal" button
    This should resolve your issue. Be sure to reload the OS using R&R FIRST before doing the above steps.

  • USB mouse and keyboard don't work on HP Pavilion g7 2203sd, Windows 8.1.

    It is not possible to use a USB mouse or keyboard on the HP Pavilion g7 2203sd notebook running Windows 8.1.
    A wireless mouse used to work (already some time ago), but now wired or wireless mouse and keyboard don't work any more.
    I have tried removing USB devices in the Windows Device Manager and let Windows detect them again, but it does not work.
    I read somewhere that it might have to do with the xHCI USB controller that is installed.
    I tried removing that and connecting the USB mouse but no succes.
    I also looked for driver updates or something to disbale in the BIOS (like xHCI), but nothing found for that.
    Can anybody help me with this problem.
    Thanks!

  • Touchsmart 520-1047c Mouse and Keyboard will not work after sleep mode

    I have an issue which I need some help with. When my computer goes to sleep the wireless mouse and keyboard will not work unless I restart, however each one will wake the system up but will not operate after that. I have tried just making the display go to sleep, both go to sleep but that makes no difference same issue occurs. The only work around I have found is going into the power settings and turning the sleep mode off for booth the computer and display. This does not solve the problem it just masks it. New batteries, unplugged and replugged the dongle, updated the bios and all drivers. Don't know what else to try. Anybody know how to fix this? Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Macbook pro trackpad and keyboard don't function

    I was working on my photography coursework monday night, and my keyboard froze, but the mouse worked. then I restarted it (losing all my unsaved editing, by the way) and neither the trackpad or internal keyboard worked. after that, for a few days, they both worked on and off, before completely ceasing to function.
    I'm running 10.5.6, and I had to buy an external mouse and keyboard this evening.
    my warranty has run out, I don't have apple care, and I cant go for more than 24 hours without my computer because we don't have another one in the house.
    does anyone know what the problem may be, and how to fix it without being without a computer for the next god only knows how long? (the place I got my mbp from doesn't allow loaned computers etc.)
    (I do not have the money to buy a new laptop either)
    Message was edited by: Petite Lapine

    Funny thing is I had the exact same problem last week. I run a Macbook Pro 2.2 intel. The laptop is alway in a studio, on a stand and connected to an external keyboard and Wacom tablet. I'll use the laptop keypad and trackpad maybe 1% of the time out of the day. The day I updated to 10.5.6 is when the keypad and trackpad stopped working.
    I had updated to 10.5 about 2-3 weeks previous, after running 10.4 for over a year with no problems. The original Archive and Instal had so many issues that I was forced to do the new instal and wipe the hard drive. After a few calls to Apple regarding the 10.5 install issues, I was offered an additional 90 days warranty.
    When I took it into Apple last weekend for the keypad and trackpad issues I was told that the warranty that was offered as a goodwill gesture didn't cover any hardware issues, only software. Apple ran through a few things on the laptop and also tried booting off a bootable startup disk and couldn't figure out the problem.
    I did check the cable issue as described below and also went thought other resets that I have read about in other posts. All to no avail.
    Apple has quoted a new top case assembly and a new keyboard. With labor I'm looking at a total of £205 to fix the issue.
    Seems a bit funny for it to all happen so soon after my 10.5 purchase and also on the day of the 10.5.6 update. I'm aware of how may others may have done the same update with no issues but this laptop has been treated with kid gloves over the past year and a half. If I was rough with it, then I could except it but when it's been treated as it has been then I just can't understand it.
    Any others with the same problems, it would be good to hear from you.

  • Wireless Mouse and Keyboard don't work under bootcamp. Any suggestions?

    I installed Windows 7 through Boot Camp. Everything works, but my wireless mouse and keyboard. If I add a wired mouse and keyboard, they work. Have reinstalled Bootcamp a few times, but when I try and add the devices. they are seen, but then can't pair.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Well, the 'unplugged' reference was noted earlier and I wasn't sure if you'd get a
    better response than a standard suggestion to try the other ideas in this link first
    •Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
    before actually performing the SMC, that is a dragnet kind of catch-all, sometimes.
    All of my keyboard & mouse units are USB and I've gone as far as supplying the
    mouse and other peripherals with a powered USB hub; so power from the Mac
    isn't spread too thin. The keyboard is one of the only items that should be attached
    to the USB port; as it has to work on startup pre-boot keyboard shortcuts... Such
    as SafeBoot, PRAM reset, and others where you need a live keyboard and BT
    may not be up to the task of being ready. Three going on four of my Macs have
    bluetooth capabilities for those items; but I can't justify the continual upkeep cost.
    Spare USB keyboards and a few extra mouse are handy as troubleshooting tools, too.
    There are some USB keyboard references among search results in this linked page:
    https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Apple+USB+keyboard+troubleshooting
    Perhaps the SMC pre-reset suggestions may help resolve the issue, if not, try reset.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • External mouse and keyboard no longer work after 10.8.5 upgrade

    Today I upgraded from OSX 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 on my macbook pro 17". This upgrade caused by external mouse and keyboard to completely stop working. I tried installing the 10.8.5 "combo" install (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1676) and also tried resetting the PRAM, but neither action had any effect.
    I also tried restoring to an older time machine backup with 10.8.4, but could only figure out how to restore files, not the entire system.
    I've lost a day of work at this point, I need help... How can I get back to 10.8.4 or get the mouse/keyboard working again on 10.8.5??

    Try booting into the Safe Mode.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Macbook Pro-Mouse and Keyboard cable

    So i have a macbook pro running OS X
    Specs: 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo
               4 gb 667 mhz ddr2 sdram
               250 gb 7200 rpm
               Dual body design year: 2008
    My problem is that the keyboard and mouse have gone out several times and I have found that the sticky note under the battery works for awhile but the cable supplying the keyboard and mouse eventually fail due to a failed design for a machined slot for the cable.  I have first replaced this by buying a new topcase only to have the problem fixed for a year.  Today i have installed a new cable that i purchased online only to have the keyboard and mouse instantly work again flawlessly.  Has apple determined this a faulty design and will they compensate for my misfortune so i can possibly buy a new laptop or should i just switch back to Microsoft? Thanks

    I'm just guessing, but I suspect you have a better chance of winning the state lottery than of Apple giving you the price of a new MBP for your old machine with its array of do-it-yourself band-aids. This is probably true even if your state has no lottery.

  • [solved] Xorg 1.8.1 + FGLRX Mouse and keyboard don't work...

    Beginning this week i installed Arch linux for the first time (several times infact) and i followed the installtion guide to get gnome working on my machine...
    pacman -Sy
    pacman -S xorg
    pacman -S gnome gnome-system-tools gnome-extra gdm gksu
    I also added the "fuse usblp"  and " fam hal" entries to /etc/rc.conf in their respective sections as decribed there.
    When i would reboot and type gdm the system would start up and i could configure everything else, but after reinstalling this morning this no longer works because the xorg got upgraded to a new version.
    When i type gdm or startx in complains that "vesa" has no modes, so i installed and configure the fglrx drivers from the pacman source.
    Now comes the actual problem, when i now type gdm or startx i get the graphical enviroment but my keyboard and mouse do not work and the computer is frozen.
    I tried going to a diffirent tty but it won't take those commands either.
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be ? i do not understand what is wrong....
    The Solution - Because the vesa driver didn't work i installed fglrx and i deleted this folder called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d as i had never seen it before and figured that  i didn't need it if xorg.conf was present.
    Leaving the folder intact solved the problem
    it was a noobish mistake from a beginner, sorry folks

  • Please help!  my iMac keeps freezing, mouse and keyboard do not work after

    Early this morning I turned on my iMac and started downloading updates through software update as usual. I was browsing a website in Safari when all of a sudden the "zoom" feature activated itself and I could not turn it off. I restarted and the keyboard started typing different characters but not letters, so I took out my installation CD and it took me quite a while to reboot the computer using the CD as a startup. Since the keyboard had a different input, the C key was not running the CD. I tried loggin into the support page, but it downloaded the links into the desktop. I used system utilities to restart the computer from the CD, I verified the Disk Permissions, then Repaired the permisions, then the Verify Disk and then the Repair disk, in that order. I restarted the computer and everything seemed fine, but after a couple of minutes the mouse starts closing windows, downloading website links into the desktop and then the keyboard freezes and does not let me type! This has repeated over and over, and I don't know what to do!
    Posting this message has been quite an achievement, because I have restarted the computer a lot of times in order to finish.
    Someone please help! I don't know what else to do!!!
    Thanks!

    Yes. And since you aren't backed up, you may have to use Prosoft Data Rescue to try to recovery any information that is critical. First though, do you have another Mac you can hook this one up to using Target Disk Mode?
    If you do, that's another way to rescue information. Target Disk Mode is explained here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    Similarly, if you have a bootable external hard drive, you can try to boot off that with the Startup manager:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
    To rescue your information. This at least will allow you to do further analysis to see what data corruption might have happened. If the drive is invisible when booted off another, that may indicate a directory issue. But first let's see if we can attach or boot off another and see the internal drive of the machine.

  • After catalyst 10.10 / xorg 1.9 update, mouse and keyboard don't work

    Hi guys,
    Yesterday I got the new catalyst update together with the new xorg server, but after rebooting and starting x, I neither could move the mouse nor press short cuts.
    I have reinstalled xf86-input-evdev and xorg-input-drivers, but still same issue.

  • Macbook Pro 15" - clamshell mode doesn't work after installing Mavericks

    So I've upgraded to Mavericks, but my late 2011 MBP 15" has stopped working in clamshell mode (closed lid with external display on) – display just does not detect an input after closing the lid. Anyone experienced this?

    This was het same problem as in upgrade to Mountain Lion before... Apparently the NVRAM reset should fix this (PRAM-reset for non-intel based macs)
    >>>
    OK, after upgrading to 10.8.2 and then doing a PRAM reset gives me clamshell mode back!
