NOT disabling keyboard/trackpad on tablet fold...

This is probably the opposite of user problems regarding the keyboard/trackpad and turning the Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode... Here's the situation:
I'm a Java programmer and I'm sharing my files with my home PC, so I can work from my laptop or desktop easily without transferring files back and forth.
It's no fun adjusting my typing to multiple different keyboards for different PCs, and overall I tend to prefer a trackpad over a mouse for what I do which makes using my lenovo yoga keyboard ideal for everything (majority of wireless keyboards also aren't backlit).
I'm using the program Mouse without Borders (from the Microsoft website) so that I can use my lenovo yoga keyboard/trackpad on my desktop.
What I want to do: keep my keyboard and trackpad enabled when putting the yoga into tablet mode. I've already figured out how to disable the touchscreen for such uses, but the only way I know to keep the keyboard and trackpad active is to uninstall the synaptics driver/software. Obviously that isn't an ideal solution to have to install and uninstall it every time I switch between PCs.
Is there any way to stop synaptics from disabling the keyboard and trackpad when in tablet mode? Preferrably something such as disabling something in device manager, not uninstalling and reinstalling software depending my use for the moment.

Please provide more information.
First, I have no idea what "Jimi to Jimi" means. This is probably just something you need to explain to me; a Google search didn't turn up anything useful.
You said that the keyboard and trackpad aren't working right. What does this mean, exactly? Regardless, the monitor you use should have no effect on the function of your other peripherals.

Keyboard not disabling past 180 Degrees (Yoga 13)

The keyboard on my Yoga 13 is (apparently ouf of the blue) not disabling when I open the Yoga passed 180 degrees. It doesn't shut off until the Yoga is nearly fully folded back on itself (tablet mode). This is a big problem for me as I love using the Yoga in stand mode on my lap when sitting in my recliner.
Any way to adjust this?

hi slydog75,
Thanks for Posting,
I personally would suggest
Going into Device Manager and uninstall the Drivers under Sensors
Then Restart the computer the reopen device manager see If the sensors are back then try the Keyboard again
There is a similar discussion about this issue as well Please Check as some Suggest was able to fix this issue.

Not recognizing wireless keyboard/trackpad/mouse

Just installed windows 7 on new 2012 imac. loaded the support software. still not recognizing the mac's wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse. what should I try??

hi
the N70 mouse has a USB dongle to connect to
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
You may be able to connect the mouse but the Keyboard should be a pair SK8861
The SK8861 mouse and keyboard should be a pair because the USB dongle for both is in the SK8861 mouse.
Im not sure If you can pair the SK8861 keyboard with the n70 USB dongle.
But here's how to pair the keyboard. you can try this out with the N70 usb dongle.
Make sure that the keyboard is very close to the dongle when pairing
1. Unplug the dongle from the computer
2. Remove the battery
3. Hold the F2 F3 and F4 keys on the keyboard all throughout the process
4. Use your left had put the battery in but do not put the keyboard battery cover yet.
5. Left hand still, plug in the USB dongle then right away put the keyboard battery cover
Light will blink but once it stopped you can now let go of the F2 F3 and F4 keys and try the keyboard out.
If this does not work You might need to conatct where you bought it and ask about the keyboard and mouse, that it should come in pair" sk8861 mouse and keyboard.

Keyboard & Trackpad not working but USB are...

Hi - 2007 white Macbook, 10.6.8...
Today the machine appeared to keep freezing completely... after numerous checks (including booting in 10.5), it transpired it was the keyboard and trackpad that weren't responding, not the OS. I know this because I plugged in a USB keyboard/mouse to check and they work fine.
That said, the onboard keyboard & trackpad do work upon boot up for anything from 1 to 10 minutes. Then they just stop responding and I have to resort back to USB again. I can see others who've had similar problems but I can't find a solution.
It doesn't appear to be a fatel hardware error because they will always work on boot up for a limited time. All updates are applied and disc permissions repaired.
Anyone know how to solve this? Appreciate the help - stars all round, thanks.

It doesn't sound like a fatal hardware issue but I think your Top Case Assembly or the connection cable are going bad. The top case is basically the plate containing your keyboard, trackpad, and power button.
The fact that it works via USB basically confirms that, but there is the outside shot that the connector on the Logic Board could be the problem....
Before you take it to an Apple Store, try to boot it up from your software discs that came with your Mac (disc #1, you can do this by restarting your Mac with the disc in and holding down the C key after the startup chime) and see if the problem occurs. If it does, I would have an Apple Service Provider or an Apple Store replace your Top Case for you.If it's okay on the discs, run your Disk Utility on the software disc and reinstall the OS.
I hope this helps!

Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

Is it possible to disable the trackpad when a wireless or usb mouse is present? With Lion 10.7.2, I can not find the checkbox that was there before I installed Lion. Is the option gone on Lion?

There is no BIOS in OS X. There is only the EFI stored in ROM that is not user modifiable. OS X is probably checking Bay 0 for the boot drive since that is where it should be. It won't check the Tempo drive since it is treated like an external drive. I suggest you open Startup Disk preferences to see if the Tempo device is selected as the boot device. If it isn't, then select it. That will probably shave off a few seconds in the startup time.

Why won't Apple do not manufacture keyboard with combined trackpad?

So why won't Apple do not manufacture keyboard with combined trackpad?
Same size like numeric keyboard, but without numeric buttons and model with wire or wireless, i'm just curious why they haven't manufactured this kind of product yet.
I have iMac Early 2008 (Upgraded with 128 GB ssd) and Macbook air 2014, sometimes i feel odd carrying separately keyboard and mouse if i want to plug my macbook with IPS display, so it would be lot help if they were combined.

Yes, EEK!
Have you run Microsoft Update and installed the latest 14.2.4 Office update yet?
Humor me. When you perform copy, do you then establish keyboard focus by clicking the mouse pointer on the destination screen for the paste action -- before keying the paste?
Have you installed any third-party keystroke mapping software that may be getting between the operating system and these two applications?
Under System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, have you enabled Sticky, Slow, or EEK! Keys?

Not able to disable my trackpad when I connected external mouse

Hi, Before I upgrade to Snow Leopard, I remember that I had a setting somewhere to disable the Trackpad automatically when I'm connecting my bluetooth mouse. After I upgraded to SL, I lost this function and I can't find this setting option anywhere. Is this option still available?
Thanks,
Aldous

Okay found it (should have done a little more research before posting). They've moved this option from the trackpad section to the mouse and trackpad section of the Universal Access area in system preferences.

Late 2013 Keyboard / Trackpad still unresponsive AFTER EFI 1.3 update

I thought I would start a new thread / discussion since the previous thread here seems to be riddled with "install the update" suggestions and off topic assistance such as battery life questions. I have also logged detailed information regarding this issue on my professional blog here.
Anyway, here is a short, condensed version of my story. I have had two brand new late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro's with the 2.4/16GB/256 configuration. Since the config I chose is a CTO, this problem has been going on since the day the first model arrived (December 10th, 2013). The EFI update was preinstalled on both systems and I can verify that because the boot ROM version is MBP111.0138.B03 (the boot rom prior to the update ended in B00 or B01). I am also an AASP and an ACMT meaning that I am certified and employed with a company that allows me to fix all Apple hardware under warranty. I am well-versed in technology and Apple hardware and I have never seen anything quite like this.
Here is the quick summary of things I have attempted and I have been able to re-recreate the issue:
The system will not mount the root device when I boot via a known good external hard drive running 10.9.1. Verbose mode and Single user mode reports a still waiting for root device error.
The system (rMBP) will not boot from another system (late 2011 MacBook Pro 13") when said system (late 2011 MacBook Pro) pushed into target disk mode via thunderbolt.
My system, rMBP, will boot up with the internal SSD but will not allow the keyboard and track pad to function. The caps lock key will not illuminate. The keyboard and track pad will work OUTSIDE of 10.9.1, however. I have installed a clean internet recovery version of Mavericks over 4 times.
If I put my system, rMBP, into target disk mode and connect to any other computer via thunderbolt and boot it on the other Apple systems, the operating system running on the internal SSD of the rMBP will work just fine -- keyboard and mouse included (again, as a target disk mode thunderbolt connection to another host).
If I use a remote agent to connect to my rMBP such as LogMeIn or vnc, the keyboard and mouse will work just fine from the remote system which leaves me to beleive that this is not a software issue nor is it fully a hardware issue since the keyboard and mouse work outside of mavericks.
I believe we are still dealing with a firmware issue here. It took several tries to create a bootable device for the late 2013 rMBP since NONE of my other up-to-date and verified working external drives will boot but I finally created a bootable USB stick. When I run the system from the USB stick, the keyboard and trackpad will work but if I touch the keyboard and / or trackpad in 5 second intervals, I will receive the following error:

I had actually created a system log query to search for the above. The search string includes "the USB " and any entry after 1/1/2014. The above error should only present itself when waking an Apple system from sleep and instead it happens on every touch after, at least, a 5 second period of non-use.
When I remote into the system using LogMeIn, VNC or even use an application called ShareMouse which shares the keyboard and mouse of my Windows system with any other computer on the network presuming they have ShareMouse also installed, I can use the system as I would expect, without continuous error in the console log. When I check the system information, Bluetooth is completely disabled and the USB hub does not report address information. Since the keyboard, track pad, Bluetooth peripheral and USB ports all sit on the same USB stack / hub this leads me to think there is a firmware / driver failure occurring after Mavericks loads. The only two errors I see when I am using a remote keyboard and mouse via a remote service is as follows:
1/5/14 6:58:16.000 PM kernel[0]: The USB device HubDevice (Port 1 of Hub at 0xfa000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)

Bottom line: Even for those of you who have installed the EFI 1.3 update and have verified that your freezing issues have ceased, for the most part, could you check your console log for the above error. My guess is, you will still see the error repeated there in 5 second intervals if you touch the keyboard, put your hands up for 5 seconds, touch the keyboard and / or track pad again. My concerns is that this is a product line issue since it has occurred on two brand new systems and the log errors appeared on another model on display in an Apple store. (The display model was logged into an Admin account so I took the liberty of checking the console log.)

I'm tired of this message. Bought a Mac 13" retina from bestbuy that was shipped to me on December 24th. The finder took a long time to load 'All My Files' with three to five second delay. My older macbook unibody (late 2009)was instantaneous. My wife's macbook aluminum (2011) also loaded the files instantaneously. Sorry I digressed but while I was trying to research that issue, I was caught up in the console and multiple of these,'The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)' kept showing up whenever I touched the trackpad in intervals of 6-7 seconds.
Called up apple, used screen sharing and after spending an hour was transferred to the second tier tech. The second tier rep troubleshooted and told me it WAS an issue and asked me to go to apple store to run diagnostics and that most likely I'll receive another notebook in exchange since it fell within 14 day period. I told him the internet was filled with this discussion and asked if it was prevalent. He said it was the first time he has come across this issue and most forums on the internet may not be addressing my specific issue. I wasn't convinced and simply returned it at best buy.
The unfortunate thing is I sold my macbook unibody and having owned 2 macbooks for last eight years I caved and ordered another 13". After a week and a half I received it today and guess what, I see the same message filling up my console.
I noted the following,
* Use guest account and you'll never see the message,'The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)'. All admin accounts created will throw that error.
Though off topic I'd like to state what happened with the Finder's 'All my files' issue:
1. Once I upgraded my older macbook unibody to mavericks, the 'All my files' took longer to load as the new macbook pro.
2. I was able to replicate the same slow load times with macbook aluminium(2011) when I upgraded it to mavericks.
Oh, I also showed the slowness to the representatives and all they tried doing was reindex spotlight which did no good.
So much for 1799$ notebook and the "free" OS. Very disappointed.

Flex 2-15 Keyboard/Trackpad no longer working

Basically the keyboard/trackpad are no longer working for my lapop (Flex 2-15).
Here's the run down of what I know:
1) Function keys still work such as brightness up or down and turning off the screen.
2) In device manager there is the yellow traigle with an exclamation point for the trackpad, but the keyboard driver seems functioning properly.
3) On the mouse driver it says Code 10, timed out.
4) I've tried uninstalling the mouse driver and restarting to see if windows would install automatically, and the driver comes back, but with the same code 10.
5) Touch screen works fine.
6) Running Windows 8.1.
7) Tried restoring from factory settings and the issue is still here.
8) USB mouse and keyboard work perfectly fine.
9) Tried switching modes to see if keyboard/trackpad was disabled, but no luck there either.
Greatly appreciate some help here as this is beyond frustrating since I've only had this laptop for a little over a month and can no longer return it. Also Lenovo doesn't support anything besides hardware and wants $70-140 to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

They were trying to charge me for a "Software failure" which apparently isn't covered. I'm almost positive it's driver issues of some sort that they needed update seeing as the function keys work on the keyboard but the rest dont because the trackpad doesn't work.
But if they're going to try and charge me for a software issue I might as well get them to replace the keyboard under warrenty just to rule that out. Sucks it's only been a little over a month.
I purchased the laptop from Newegg.com since it was the cheapest I could find. They only do a 30-day refund/replacement unless you paid for extra insurance (which I never do since usually I can figure out most simple laptop issues).
I usually just turn off this laptop as it's not my main one, but one I'm going to lend to my brother. And one day the keyboard was working fine and then the next day I turned it on I had issues. Worked fine for the few weeks leading up to it. I've updated windows a few times, but none of the updates were keyboard related and factory restoring didn't work so I'm at a loss.

USB Eject ejecting keyboard/trackpad instead

Hey,
I just bought a new MacBook Pro 13" i7 and I've installed Windows 7 along with the Bootcamp drivers. Everything's working fine except for when I connect a USB hard drive (not flash drive) to the second USB port (closer to the front of the laptop). The drive contents can be read and everything is normal except for when I try to eject it. When I click the button to eject the hardware, it says Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad instead of my USB drive. And doing this disables my keyboard/trackpad and I need to restart the computer in order for it to work again.
However, the strange thing is that this does not happen at all in Mac OS and also doesn't happen when I use the first USB port. It looks like, for some reason, Apple wired the USB for that port and the keyboard/trackpad all together. Am I right in assuming this, or is my Mac defective? Also, do you think that Apple could possibly fix this in a later Bootcamp update?
Thanks

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Sooooo so frustrating. Effectively means you only have one USB port you can use for external hard drives etc at any one time..
When re-installing Windows on a newly created partition the other day - after Windows booted normally, but before I installed the Bootcamp Windows Support drivers, I tested the USB port by plugging in my WD external hard drive, to see if the issue was something to do with the drivers Apple themselves were supplying [as part of the Windows support pack].
When I went to eject it safely, I could see that it was recognising the WD external hard drive - however this time, it was calling it a USB Receiver?? and yes, the system still froze when I ejected it 'safely'.
So, that little experiment didn't solve any mysteries except to suggest that the problem really is Windows based: both USB ports work fine when in the Mac OS, with the first port only becoming wonky after the installation of Windows [7 Home Premium: x64] and before the installation of the Bootcamp Windows Support Drivers.
In my frustratioin/desperation - I called Apple tech support here in Australia. The guy I ended up speaking to about it (a Senior Techy) said that his colleague had actually had a call from someone else with exactly our issue - but that he didn't know how to resolve it/it was left unresolved. I pointed the guy I spoke to, to this thread (and a few others I found on Google), and he recognised that this is clearly an issue that needs to be escalated, which - he is going to do. [He was great by the way - super helpful: Thanks Ethan!]
So - hopefully there will be light at the end of the tunnel soon, if someone hasn't already come across a fix that is.

Is there a keybaord shortcut to disable the trackpad?

When typing on the built-in keyboard of the 13" MBP is is very difficult not to inadvertently touch the trackpad and end up typing at the wrong point of the text.
OK one can disable the trackpad in accessibility options when a mouse is connected but then one wants to be able to use both scrolling systems simultaneously of possible. And anyway one often doesn't want to add a mouse just to disable the trackpad.
What would be highly useful is a keyboard shortcut to kill the trackpad, so you can re-enable it as and when needed.
Or if that is considered too risky then one that temporarily suspends the trackpad for say 15 seconds to allow you some thinking time while typing.
This would surely be a nice feature and one that would greatly enhance the user experience.
Surely it can't be beyond the wit of Apple to implement such a thing?
Or is there already a solution available?

I don't think so, you have to change it in the system preferences. You can ask Apple to add this via

Mid 2013 macbook air keyboard/trackpad stop responding

I have a mid-2013 13" Macbook Air - 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM - 1.7Ghz i7
I spend a good deal of time working at my home, where I have two external monitors (one via USB, one via the thunderbolt port) and a bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard. Things are great.
I also go on the road, and when I do, I simply unplug my monitors, close the lid, and go.
Lately, I've had some very odd behavior happen which acts a lot like what is described in the latest 13" Macbook Pro Retina EFI fix: http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/07/apple-releases-fix-for-13-inch-retina-macboo k-pro-keyboardtrackpad-issues/
Here's what happens....when I'm traveling and away from my bluetooth keyboard/mouse, I will open up my MBA and the trackpad and internal keyboard are unresponsive. I can press the power button and get it to turn off...power it back on and am able to use the keyboard to control various boot options (diagnostics, single-user, safe-mode, recovery model, etc). Booting up full, however, the issue will still exist. Looking at the console log, when this is happening, there are a ton (about 4000 every minute) of the following :
11/1/13 7:45:26.000 PM kernel[0]: Error: AppleHSSPIController::doSPITransfer CRC from device was invalid
11/1/13 7:45:26.000 PM kernel[0]: Error: AppleHSSPIController::InterruptOccurred Failed to transfer interrupt data with Err (0xe00002eb)
Eventually, something happens and things start to work -- I will generally see the following in the console log when it starts working:
11/1/13 7:45:27.000 PM kernel[0]: Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad::start Start Succeeded
If I let the machine sit at the unlock screen, eventually a dialog comes up and says "unable to find external bluetooth keyboard/mouse..." It says it will continue to search and will pair with one eventually....it's the same message I would get from my mac mini if it couldn't find the bluetooth keyboard (and has no internal/hardwired keyboard).
When it is happening, I can use "cmd-r" to boot into recovery mode and recovery mode will complain about not having a mouse/trackpad - yet the keyboard seems to work to control what happens at boot time.
I called Apple and got sent to the apple store with a "it sounds like a faulty logic board or a connection that needs soldering". The Apple Store "genius" didn't quite think that was the case and has instead suggested I re-install the operating system. I'm non-plussed by both suggestions. This has happened both before and after Mavericks...
On one of my latest trips, I had a case where I took my laptop out on the plane to try to use it...only to have this issue occur. I landed, got to the hotel, tried again and everything worked fine. Went to dinner - leaving my laptop on the desk plugged in - only to come back to have the keyboard unresponsive.... I've now resorted to traveling with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse "just in case".
Any ideas/thoughts?

I will open up my MBA and the trackpad and internal keyboard are unresponsive.
Do four things to test for fault on this,
reset SMC ,
reset NVRAM,
uncheck "put hard disks to sleep"
and UNPAIR both your bluetooth mouse and keyboard from this Mac that you are using with it currently.
yes, the notion that your logic board is at fault is extremely unlikely, additionally (though far more likely) that your Mavericks OS is corrupt.
RESET SMC
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
RESET NVRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Lastly, go into SYS PREFERENCES > ENERGY > uncheck "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" in both tabs.
Let your Mac go into sleep or close the lid for a few mins. and reopen and verify that your trackpad and mouse are fine. They should be after this,.........
If not contact Apple for full in shop diagnostic, theyll run a hardware test (unlikely causation) and reinstall the OS, then retest and LASTLY replace the logic board (very unlikely).

HELP! In middle of upgrade to windows 8 and keyboard/trackpad stopped working!

Hey all, new mac user here. Just bought a new macbook air 13" 2014 model. I succedded in installing windows 7 via bootcamp via a usb drive and was in the middle of installing a downloadable windows 8 upgrade (at a preferences page when they ask you to select your favorite color) when my macbook's keyboard/trackpad stopped functioning. I plugged in a usb mouse and that would not work either. I have absolutely no clue as to what to do next. If I had to install some driver or thing please tell me how to cancel the windows 8 install and return to windows 7. Thanks for all your help strangers

I was not able to find any drivers specifically for the web cam. I did find software to use the camera, but that was all I could find.
However, I do have a question about the Windows 8 upgrade process that was used.
Did you do an in-place upgrade or a clean install of Windows 8?
Go back to device manager. Is there anything here at all in an other category indicating it is having some type of an issue?
There are certain events that will need to happen.
Go to the start screen and search for uninstall a program. Select this option in the settings category.
This should take you to the Desktop app and show the familiar uninstall a program feature from Windows 7.
Select add/remove Windows Components on the left.
Is Framework 3.5 checked here? If not, enable this and install it.
Then, install the HP framework which is needed for some HP programs. This is a Windows 7 installation, but it should go through.

Once that is finished, reboot the system.
Let me know what happens.
