UserEventAgent not responding.

Add me to the list of non-responding UserEventAgent. Macs Just Work eh? Bollocks.

Same problem here, not responding, but doesn't take up any CPU and just 2,32MB of RAM.
I'll leave it alone since it doesn't do anything to the performance although i would like to see the problem solved for which it would make me sleep better. 😉

UserEventAgent doesn't react here as well. No CPU usage though.

I have to say that the first billance after having my first mac for about 10 days now is not so good. At first i found it is a **** cool thing. But in the last days more and more things that simply are not working, or working wrong turn out:

- the EventAgent-thing, where i don't know what it's good for
- iPhoto gets stuck frequently, and doesn't react anymore
- the eject button on my wireless apple keyboard doesn't work.

3 issues in 10 Days is prety horrible i'd say. I will phone apple this afternoon i think.

Same issue here with a Mac Keyboard... Spotlight wasn't working and had to Quit UserEventAgent to get it to function.

My Mail search function has also stopped working which may be related.

Does 10.5.1 help this?

Same problem here.
I only get 0% CPU usage, but i have trouble with bluetooth & mighty mouse...

Same problem here, but no CPU consumption in a MacBook Pro 2CDuo 2,33 with no external mouse or keyboard installed.
Apple, update, please.

*Fix for Kinesis Freestyle keyboard*
We have created a firmware update for the Freestyle keyboard which (based on limited testing) appears to fix the "UserEventAgent" problem when using the Freestyle with Leopard. If you would like send your keyboard to Kinesis for a free upgrade, please contact Technical Support (tech@kinesis.com).

Still an issue for me with 10.5.1. I have no external devices on my MacBook Pro, yet this is still listed as Not Responding in Activity Monitor, although with zero CPU usage. So despite others finding this is related to 3rd party peripherals, its certainly not limited to them.

Figured it out on my Mini at least. It was my Belkin 4 port USB 2.0 hub. Unplugged the hub, quit the UserEventAgent and the process came back with no problem. Plugged the hub back in and the UserEventAgent became unresponsive.

The event was taking up no cpu and the hub still works but guess I'll unplug the hub for the time being.

The UserEventAgent is happy on my Macbook..never had the hub plugged in.

Hi, any news ? I have this trouble on my two mac. The problem on the Mac Pro appear after i upgrade today to last Final Cut Studio patch. The trouble is not bluetooth related or kb or usb related, in my case. On both machine usereventagebt is not responding but the cpu usage is low.

I thought I'm the only one who has the problem. It keep bugging me until now...
It bogged down my Real Memory 35.39 MB.

I also have this problem. I'm using a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo with all the latest updates. I haven't found anything that triggers it yet, but each time I have restarted it, the process shows up in red in activity monitor if I wait for at most 5 minutes. Luckily it doesn't produce any nasty side effects like excessive CPU usage. The only things installed that might interfere with the system are SteerMouse and 'Psst' (to mute the startup chime). Yet, UserEventAgent keeps crashing consistently.

By the way, a nice way to detect if something is hogging your CPU is installing MenuMeters. It can show a tiny CPU graph in the menu bar.

Just got my Freestyle keyboard back from the good people at Kinesis. Everything works fine now. The keyboard firmware update did the trick. :-D

I re-installed my system last week because of a third party software glitch.
Now all of the sudden the problem is gone, UserEventAgent is acting normal.
I didn't change a thing about my hardware configuration and i got all the same software installed as before when i did have the problem.

Perhaps not much of help but i just wanted to let you guys know. 😉
