Q: part of keyboard stops working
powermac 2010, mavericks 10.9.5, usb connected apple keyboard, wireless mouse
typing along, and the keys stop working, suddenly the are ok again.
typing along, pause, open folder, open dialog box, try to type in dialog request and NO keys work, -- almost no keys =
checked and replaced usb cable, tried another mac keyboard and a ms-keyboard all same result.
the function keys function, however; numeric keypad not, return & space bar not, all letter keys not.
mouse still functions as normal.
shut down and restart, all is well again.
I noticed this start about a month ago, but it would be just -- push the key a couple time and everything went back to working.
today nothing short of shutdown.
anyone know WHY?
(have done extensive system maint/ repair permissions and more. )
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2010 8core
