Wired Keyboard failure after 10.5.3 update

Wired Moshi celesta keyboard ceased working after recent OS 10.5.3 update (not 100% certain failure is due to OS though). The Imac sees the device as a USB2 hub, not USB keyboard hub as with wired Mac keyboard - that works thankfully. Has anyone experienced non-mac keyboard issues problems following the OS update?

Yes, You should have a previous system folder after an archive and install.
Can you backup everything to a second HD? Or, were you running Time Machine (a good idea). If you can, then you can safely delete many things from the previous system folder. Or, at least enough to begin testing to see if your apps work.
I routinely do and A&I when I upgrade. Then I test all my apps (or at least the important ones and a sample of the lesser ones). I move the previous system folder to a spare disk and keep it around for a few weeks incase I need to copy something over (like fonts).
BTW, I suspect your start up disk is out of space, not memory. Again backing stuff up, particularly on a laptop is a very sound idea and also allows you to manage your stuff better -- older stuff goes on the backup. Despite some problems, Time Machine works well for this as do a number of commercial products.

Wired keyboard issue after 10.9.4 update

Hello all,
I disconnected the Apple USB keyboard (A1243) from my MacBook Pro last night, and I started seeing an issue where my Mac would no longer power/recognize my keyboard once I reconnected it. I tried doing the steps to reset both SMC and PRAM, but still my keyboard would not work when connected. I decided to test the USB port so I connected my iPhone to it, and it connected and synched just fine. I also tested a USB drive on it and was able to copy files off it. I also took my Mac keyboard and connected it to a Windows 7 laptop, and it worked just fine. After looking at the console logs, I noticed this error showing up:
7/4/14 8:24:40.000 PM kernel[0]: USBF: 18393.519 AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 2 of Hub at 0x14200000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing setting port power
This shows each time I connect my Apple keyboard into the USB ports on my machine. I decided to try to connect the keyboard one last time just now and it finally worked. I was accidentally pressing the keys down as I connected it, and I started hearing beeping sounds from my speakers. A few seconds after that, the keyboard started typing and working correctly. I tried the same steps on the original USB port I had it on before (left side), but it's still not working at all. I suspect that this has to do with the new update I just installed as I did not have any issues before.
Many thanks,
Adrian C.

To confirm what John Galt is reporting, I just tested printing this web page from OS X 10.9.4 to an old HP LaserJet here. Worked correctly.
In addition to what John Galt is asking, which model(s) of HP printers are involved here?
If you're getting error dialogs or messages in the console log (available via Console.app), please post those.
If you're working with an IT organization and particularly with managed network switches, have you checked with IT about issues there?
If there are any antivirus or antimalware tools in use here, remove that miasma from at least one test system, and test printing again.

Wired Keyboard Quits After Activating Digital Audio Out

Weird problem I've just noticed on my new MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013: when I use the digital optical out port and attach in my outboard DAC, my wired keyboard stops working. Audio if fine through the DAC. The only way that I've found to fix it is to restart. Any ideas about what the problem might be?
Thanks!

I don't think that keyboard is damaged because i've seen that i'm not the only one with same problem, even with same volume keys problem. But it can be factory bug in keyboard or OSX. SMC resets didn't helped me, i did 3. However the strange thing is that when my iMac is not fully loaded after restart everything works perfect, but when everything loads up 100%, then function keys stops working and starts working again after unplugging the keyboard. I forgot to mention, that i did reinstall of OSX (not clean).
Thanks.

Elitebook 8560w keyboard failure after BIOS update

Hi,
I have recently updated to F.22, however, I suffer from major problems: the keyboard and touchpad not longer works as expected. I suffer huge delays between input and reaction of the computer. I have to hold keys for several seconds for actions to take place. However, USB connected devices (mouse/keyboard) works just fine. I am not able to roll back my older BIOS because of notice -failed BIOS signature.
O/S: Windows 7 32 bit.
Could you, please, help me? It's a shame that first post here is asking for help
Thanks,
Jonas

Ok. Update - after BIOS hard reset, the computer turns on again. Anybody has any ideas how to roll back older BIOS (officially it doesn't allow to roll back to older BIOS version than F.20 as per HP
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=be&prodTypeId=32...
"NOTE: After this BIOS update has been installed, previous BIOS versions cannot be installed."
Is it possible to override it somehow? Could there be any other solutions?

Keyboard repeats after 10.5.7 update

I have a white 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo. I bought an aluminum keyboard for it. After installing 10.5.7 my keyboard repeats keys, delays responses, etc. I thought the keyboard might be bad so I replaced it under warranty. The new keyboard does the exact same thing. The KB is plugged directly into the USB port on back of the imac. Anyone have any thoughts? For now I am using the old white keyboard that came with the imac and it works perfectly---even though it doesn't feel as good as the aluminum keyboard.

Hi Jacob,
Did you make any progress solving this? I have got a MacBook Pro and got the same problem since the 10.5.7 update. Keys start repeating at random. I don't use an external keyboard ever so I suppose that is not related, I first thought that I touched the trackpad or anything but after some time got convinced that was not the problem. Regards.

Keyboard FAILURE after install...thanks Apple.

Installed an "upgrade" Leopard on my 1.8ghz Core Duo Macbook Laptop and after install the laptop keyboard would no longer work. No matter what I did, rebooted, safe mode, single user mode, nothing... No keys would register. Keyboard shows up fine in SysInfo, just wont type...
If I boot to the Leopard DVD, the keyboard works fine.
Thanks Apple for releasing this POS and making Vista actually look like a stable OS.
This is the last time I get burned like this.... no more.

Hello all...
Just an FYI. I had the same problem with my MacBook. I installed Leopard and the keyboard stopped working. It was because of SideTrack. I was able to hook up with a firewire to my computer to my roommate's Mac and reboot while holding "T". My computer appeared on his desktop and then I went in and removed the SideTrack files. Works fine now.
Sounds like they'll have a Leopard update soon,
James

Keyboard freeze after 10.5.6 update

I have a macbook pro thats 20 days old. I have noticed that after the 10.5.6 update 2 days ago my keyboard freezes completely. Though i lose control over the keyboard and trackpad the applications are still running (i can see the clock tick away). The only key that response is the power button but all that i get is the 4 shutdown options. I have to reset my macbook everytime this happens.
Can someone help me ?
thanks

I am not exactly sure of the time it froze but am taking the best guess.. i see a few messages
USBF: 6857.344 [0x6f93e00] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep trying.
it then says
The IOUSBFamily has successfully enumerated the device
at the moment of freeze the message reads
USB Device IOUSBDevice is violating Section 9.3.5 of the USB Specification -- Error in GetConfigDescriptor (wLength = 4)
IOUSBCompositeDriver GetFullConfigDescriptor(0) returned NULL
thanks for your response

T40 Keyboard failure after login

What I have: a keyboard that will type my login, and fully function on "guest" login, but will not operate after login for the administrator. When I try to type the keys make a slight "bonk" sound.
Previous to this I downloaded from the Lenovo website a system restore file that included BIOS update.
Think/Vantage Rescue and Recovery versions 4.21.0016
I have hit a brick wall on this. Anybody have a clue?
I would consider reformatting, but the previous owner said he "wiped" the hard drive and installed a fresh copy of XP. If the F11 key appears on start up would that guarantee that I am still able to reformat?
It all began when the internet cable connections were not working well. Now I have bigger problems.

This must be an profile error I have made but I can't resolve this keyboard issue. I am typing on the same TP keyboard now that will not work when I log in on another user profile.
I can type on all login profiles, but I can only type on "guest" keyboard after login. Does that make sense?

3g failure after 6.1.4 update on Iphone 5 solution

Hi Everyone
I recently updated my Iphone 5 ios to 6.1.4 and in the beginning I had a great 3G signal.
Although after I made a phone call I noticed I only had EDGE and wasn't able to get 3G.
I tried resetting my phone, Turning Airplane mode on and off, nothing seemed to work.
I then tried manually changing my Carrier settings, and that worked just perfect and within seconds
My 3G was up and running. I now have a much better signal as well.
Here are the steps:
Settings > Carrier > turn Automatic OFF
It should automatically start searching for your local carrier networks. When you see your network pop up, select it and within seconds your 3G should be up and running. And that's about it!
Hope this helps! Please let me know!
Good luck!!

It obviously is because you didnt understand. The iphone 4's last update to IOS 6.1.3 in some cases caused the phones speakers to not work (in which this happened to mine and a few people I know) which some people got rid of their phones. HENCE the AUDIO UPDATE that they recently posted but only iPhone 5 can download the update. That is my problem. I have alot of apple products diesel vdub and have had apple for a long time but I can't seem to understand why they would do this and I posted this in hopes to find more people that have had this issue and if they did anything to help fix it this issue. Thank you for your concern though.

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Fails After 10.7.3 Update

I updated to 10.7.3 48 hours ago and my Apple bluetooth keybaord does not work. My Mac Pro system is several years old and does not have an internal bluetooth. I have been using a bluetooth dongle successfully. The keyboard goes through the pairing process normally and appears connected in the System Preferences (Bluetooth) application but no characters appear when typing on the keyboard in any application. How should I start to fix this problem?

I had this problem yesterday. Today, I decided to just turn BT off and back on again, and the keyboard paired successfully. So far, so good.

Wireless keyboard problem after installation of security update

I have an Apple wireless keyboard and wireless mouse that have been working fine up until installation of the latest security update. The mouse still works, but the keyboard doesn't. I'm getting a dialog box that tells me the computer found the keyboard and to enter a "passkey" which is something I've never seen before with the keyboard. It provides me with a numerical passkey. I enter the passkey, but it says there is an error, to make sure my keyboard is discoverable, and to try again. Every time I try, I get the same results. I've repaired permissions and changed the batteries in the keyboard.
I'm looking for some help as to what else I can do. Thanks in advance.

Changed the firewall setting for Thunderbird in Norton's Internet Security from "Auto" to Allow" and this fixed the problem.
I had updated to a new version of Norton's on 3/11/14. Don't know why the problem did not manifest itself until the Thunderbird security update installed on 3/18/14..
Very happy it is now fixed!!! Thanks!!!

Keyboard issue after 6.1.2 update

Ever since the update the keyboard is having issues with everything, popping up in the middle of the screen and covering the the field or what is being type. There is no work around other then split keyboard which is unacceptable. You can't even scroll asnpagesonly bounces, this is also an issue for other applications. I'll assume it has something to do with the new little quick navigation they put at the bottom, which isn't even necessary.

Keyboard Failure with WIN 8.1 update today

My laptop (Ideapad Flex 15) updated and restarted this morning -- upon which I lost all KB function. I could not log in since could not enter my password. I plugged in a wireless USB KB which works. Any ideas how to restore laptop KB function?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try updating/reinstalling the chipset and IMEI driver. Reboot and check. OR try resetting the bios to default values.

Time Machine/Capsule failure after 10.5.7 update

Seems a lot of problems.
My time machine will not connect to the server, and I cannot open the time machine function in system preferences without it crashing. Have tried multiple reboots etc. Using the airport utility shows the time capsule to be functioning normally, and the internet works. I've also tried to connect via ethernet cable with no success.

IPhone 4s Keyboard problems after 7.0.3 update

Dear all,
need help, keyborad letters "T" and numbers "5 and 7" are not responding or lagging sometimes in landscape mode english language. in Italian for example working fine.
Portrait mode working fine, tried resetting settings, restart but still not working. Screen touch working fine and responsive in the areas of the keys.
please help i cant restore for now...

--uninstalled and reinstalled camera "button"
Huh? What "button"? There is no such procedure. Was this phone jailbroken?
--reset to original settings and reinstalled via itunes.
Unclear terminology. Read the "Restoring iOS software" support article I linked for you and follow that procedure for restoring as a new phone.
How can you say that this is not a software problem, but a hardware problem if reinstalling as new does not work?
In fact, that defines it as hardware since >100 million have updated without any camera problem. If it were the iOS software, which is the same for everyone, EVERYONE would have this problem.
Why have so many had similar problems with this update?
Define "so many", particularly in the context of >100 million updates. Most had the problem fixed with the usual troubleshooting steps described above. If you had followed this forum for the last 7 years, the same camera issues have occurred just as frequently with every iOS update since 1.0.1/
