When I plug in a mouse, touchpad/keyboard stop...

I just got my MacBook Pro w/Retina. I like to game, but the touchpad isn't cutting it for me. So, I took my gaming mouse and plugged it into the USB... bam! My touchpad and keyboard stopped working. Seeing as I use the keyboard to move thru the game and then use my gaming mouse to click attacks/actions/etc, I need my gaming mouse and my keyboard to work at the same time!
Help?

Oh, as soon as I unplug the mouse, keyboard and touchpad start working again.

  • Apple wireless mouse and keyboard stop working ... now says OS X version and bluetooth incompatible

    For no apparent reason my apple wireless mouse and keyboard stopped working. I was not upgrading or installing anything, the batteries are good, nothing was changed as far as I know. Now bluetooth discovers the paired devices, connects for about 30 seconds, the disconnects ... or stays connected but doesn't work.
    What's happenned ... I'm rushing to finish a big job ... any ideas? I've tried re-pairing but doesn't work ... says that OSX version may be incompatible with device bluetooth ... I'm using Lion so maybe there is another lion problem?

    Hello:
    Barry: What do you mean with "making devices favorites"?
    This is the method:
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth.  Highlight an item in the sidebar.  If detailed information does not appear, click on the little gear and select show more info.  Then click on the gear again and select favorite.
    And how could an hardware-related problem be (temporarily) solved rebooting the OS?
    Intermittent problems are, IMHO, most often caused by hardware.  Restarting will occasionally "fix" problems - why, I do not know.

  • External Mouse and Keyboard Stop Working When X220 is Docked and Screen is Closed

    I have an X220 with a docking station, external monitor and external keyboard/mouse.  When I start the laptop from a cold boot and it's docked, my external mouse and keyboard work fine with the screen open or closed.  
    If I undock and redock with the screen closed, the external keyboard doesn't work and the mouse cursor moves, but the mouse buttons don't do anything.  If I open the screen, then the keyboard and mouse work fine.
    I've swapped the keyboard and mouse and still have the same problem, so it's not the kb/mouse.  This is a brand new X220 and the issue has been occurring since it was purchased.
    Any thoughts?

    hey mhambalek,
    hard to say what's going on, though i would recommend heading to http://support.lenovo.com , do a full update of your unit.
    also, if the external keyboard & mouse & monitotor is connected to your unit without the docking station, does the same thing happen?

  • Mouse and keyboard stop working with Mavericks

    This has happened twice now since installing Mavericks.
    I'll be working along, and then all of a sudden, I am not able to click with my mouse and my keyboard stops working. I AM able to move the cursor around on the screen. But, I am not able to click on anything and I can't use the keyboard to force quit the finder. The only way to get unstuck is to press the power button on the front of the Mac to shut it down and then restart.
    I am using a wired Apple Keyboard and a wireless Apple Magic Mouse. My Mac is a MacPro 2 x 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac.
    Like I said. this has never happened before. But it's happened twice since installing Mavericks.

    Everytime I restart my computer, especially for updating maverick, my keyboard and attached mouse (both apple for an Imac) stop working. When I plug in an other keyboard, I can get into my Imac again. Would this SMC apply to this problem as well?
    What should I do?
    thanks, hb

  • T510 Mouse and Keyboard stops working with Windows Update - unable to roll back, happened twice

    My mouse has been working fine for a while but it stopped working followed by the keyboard, I put it down to a Windows update but because Windows 7 keeps bluescreening on a restore point I couldn't recover.  I contacted Lenovo got the rebuild disc for my machine, completely rebuilt it, all working fine, then after 2 days same issue, mouse stopped, keyboard stopped, restore points make no difference.  Does anyone know what windows update is causing this and if there is a fix aside from rebuilding, I can't keep doing this and I need to understand the cause really, not had it with a laptop before.  Gone back to using my old laptop until I can get it sorted.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    I installed the latest drivers via windows update and got the touchpad back, rebooted, it went again.  Netiher the trackpoint or touchpad work.  I then thought rather than focus on drivers check the bios.  I disabled the trackpoint in the bios, still neither works, however if I disable the touchpad in the bios and enable the trackpoint, the trackpoint does consistently work.  I can't explain why the touchpad worked after a touchpad update but now fails, the ultranav driver is installed but if both are enabled in the bios it say it isn't installed, if the trackpoint is enabled it tells me I need to enable both so it clearly knows it's there.  What's curious is that this doesn't happen on the complete clean IBM build.  I can't not turn off windows updates, I'm a developer so Ioad the laptops up with a vast variety of software and I need many of the windows update fixes, either way I am surprised they are conflicting with the touchpad so dramatically.  I can't see it being a virus I'm using two layers of protection and if I blow the machine away and installed the updates via an .iso image (so it's never connected to anything else), I can replicate the problem.  It's feasible it's another piece of software causing the conflict.  Any one have any idea what could be going on or seen it before?

  • Snow Leopard hangs after LDAP login, mouse works, keyboard stops working

    Afternoon,
    It was suggested that I post my question below in a server forum rather than a client form.
    Mike
    Morning,
    Earlier I posted a question about 10.5 brightness and 10.6. The user will deal with the brightness issue, so that's moot at the moment. I still have an issue with 10.6 hanging.
    I have configured 10.6 to authenticate using OpenLDAP from a Red Hat box. The authentication works fine. I have added /home from the same linux box to the list of NFS mounts (Disk Utility->File->NFS Mounts?, I'm not in front of the mac box at this moment to verify). The /home filesystem does get mounted.
    Very quickly after logging into a non-local, LDAP account, the mac box becomes useless in that I cannot start any programs, I can't logout, I can't do anything. If I double click on Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal) I get the brief flash like Terminal is starting, but the application never appears on the desktop.
    I can still ssh into the mac box. When I ssh in and run top, to see what's consuming the CPU, the machine is idle. My guess right now is every application is timing out or failing to start. I see nothing hogging the CPU nor the network.
    When I log in using a local, non-LDAP account the mac box acts as I expect it to when launching applications, looking at NFS, surfing the web, etc.
    Any ideas what's going on, what to check for, and how to fix this?
    This is an iMac 27". I may need to contact Apple support on this one.
    Mike
    Additionally, the mouse continues to work, the keyboard stops working (wifi both), and the finder starts reporting -10810 on every application open attempt. I can select the Apple->Logout or Restart options, but nothing happens. I must ssh into the iMac and 'shutdown -r now' to get back to a login so I can login as root to make further changes.
    Mike

    I was able to grab a crash log if that helps.

  • Mouse and keyboard stop working ocassionally and I have to re-boot the computer. does anyone else have this issue?

    I  have a pwoer Mac with a dual quad processor and current os. If I turn off the computer at night and power up the next day my wireless mouse and keyboard do not work nor does my hardwired mouse. I have to hold the power button to re-boot the computer to get it to work.

    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.
    And/or...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • My Mac was accidentally unplugged from the back of the computer when I restarted it the mouse and keyboard lost all connection and I cannot bring it back what to do?

    iMac was accidentally unplugged and I lost connection to the mouse and the keyboard and it will not reconnect. Need help.

    Get any usb mouse connected and open the Bluetooth pane in system preferences to re pair your Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
    You may also need a usb keyboard if your system is password protected.

  • Mouse and Keyboard stops working after a while

    Hi, I'm not even sure where to start to find the cause of the problem. I have a normal ps/2 keyboard and USB optical mouse, both of them just stops working after a few hours. The light on the mouse just dies and the keyboard is not responsive at all.  I have to do a hard reboot of my computer. How and where can I diagnose the problem? I noticed the problem started when I upgraded to the latest kernel.

    And then after a while it will just use a new address:

    Oct 31 01:47:15 wdesktop usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7

    Unplugging and plugging the mouse back does not work
    I found a workaround for that by unplugging the mouse, removing the uhci_hcd and adding it back, so:
    sudo rmmod uhci_hcd
    sudo modprobe uhci-hcd
    But I'm still not sure what causes the problem.

  • My macbook mouse/touchpad has stopped working. After 5 minutes ,the mouse won't click and I have to shut down. What's wrong?

    I have a white macbook, about 4 years old. Every time I use it, after five minutes, the mouse and touchpad stop working. You can still hear the click but it doesn't actually click anything on the screen, effectively freezing the computer. I have to just shut it down. What can i do about this?!? Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    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(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Mouse and Keyboard stop working after reboot

    So far the computer is working great except for the fact everytime you reboot the keyboard and mouse stop working... I did a clean format x2 and put the service pack on and I am still getting the same problem.
    Anyone have this problem or something similair ? Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    The problem is not your S/W install. It's with the MSI Motherboard. Your best bet is to ask MSI when a fix will be available, or go buy a different board.

  • Mouse and Keyboard stop working since Upgrade to Leopard

    I upgraded to Leopard on Friday. Twice today, I've had problems with the mouse/keyboard freezing me out of my MBP. I never had this issue prior to upgrading. The first time today, both the KB and mouse quit. Later in the day, just the KB. Both times were after periods of inactivity. I don't remember the exact scenario leading up to it, but in both cases, a reboot fixed it. I don't have enough detail to (in my mind) justify a trip to the genius bar, but maybe someone else out there has seen this and solved the mystery?
    Cheers...

    FYI, uninstalling Parallels and VMWare's Fusion (I was using both) doesn't help.
    However another scrub of the System log did reveal something peculiar. Sort of a mess to post but in case anyone from Apple is watching this, I am attaching. This is coming up right after I resume wake from suspend.

  • I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Please can you help!
    I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Starting a couple of days ago my mouse and keyboard stopped working suddenly.  
    How are they connected?   In my case they are wireless and their receiver is plugged into my USB hub.  After an update I found the OS inexplicably not recognizing my USB hub and hence any devices which were plugged into it.  My fix was to
    plug the receiver into a different USB port (so I could use the mouse and keyboard; otherwise I would have had to use the OSK via Touch or pen.)  Once I had normal access into my machine again I used Device Manager to remove all USB controller and
    hubs (including hidden ones) and I then shut down, disconnected all USB devices and powered back up, this time using only Touch to get going.  Once the OS had settled down I started plugging stuff back in the way that I wanted it to be recognized. 
    If I didn't have Touch I would have had to have left the wireless receiver plugged in both places which I assume would be OK.  I have no idea why updates have such a catastrophic effect for USB devices.

  • Just installed XP and Drivers, Now no mouse or keyboard

    Alright, so I just installed Windows XP through Boot Camp and had everything running on my new iMac. As labeled in the instructions, I popped in the driver install CD after I had XP installed (at this point, the bluetooth keyboard and mouse were both working). The wizard came up and the drivers installed themselves. Everything looked all fine until the setup "ended" with an error message that I didn't get to read, because less than a second later, the computer restarted itself.
    When XP came back up, I could tell that the video and sound drivers were installed because I heard the startup sound and the resolution was adjusted. BUT, the mouse and keyboard stopped working totally! I tried plugging in another wired USB mouse and keyboard, but the computer didn't detect them either.
    What should I try? Just reinstall the whole thing?
    Thanks in advance!

    No problem!
    - Right after I installed Windows XP (a clean install with no other data, of course), I popped in the driver install CD.
    - When the installer comes up, close it - we won't be needing that.
    - Open My Computer from the Start Menu and find the disc corresponding to the optical drive (Titled "Boot Camp"). Right click on it and select "Open", not "AutoRun". The disc's contents should appear.
    - From there, open the folder named "Boot Camp", and then open up "Drivers". In the "Drivers" folder, you'll find a whole bunch of folders that contain all of the drivers for all of the hardware on your Mac.
    - You're going to need to manually install all of the drivers EXCEPT the ones pertaining to 'USB' or 'Bluetooth'. Open each folder (better to do them in order), and find the drivers you need to install. It may look overwhelming trying to figure out which ones you need, but it's more simple than you might think. Essentially, each folder contains all of the drivers you need, but there are several versions of them for the different versions of Windows (XP, Vista 32, Vista 64, Win 64, Win 32, etc etc etc...) Figure out which version you have (most likely 32-Bit Windows XP) and install every driver that says anything among the lines of 'Win32' or 'XP' or 'XP32' (you get the idea) (again, avoiding the ones that have to do with Bluetooth or USB).
    TIP: The driver installer windows seem to pop up behind the window that you're currently using. Select them from the taskbar.
    TIP 2: Some drivers may summon a "Install New Hardware Wizard" window. Just don't touch those. Don't. Touch. They will go away on their own when the device is installed. I promise.
    ANOTHER TIP: When you get to the graphics cards installer folders (Either ATI or nVidia), you only need to install the ones for the graphics card that's in your computer!
    YET ANOTHER TIP: Don't forget the lingering "MotorolaSetup.exe" installer in the drivers folder!
    Hope this helps! If you need any clarification, please ask!
    PS: All of the above is why OS X is awesome. Just sayin'.
