Keyboard not working on MacBook Air (M2) 2022 My Air is only a few weeks old and all of a sudden the keyboard stopped working. An external keyboard works (USB-C connection and bluetooth), but the internal keyboard is non-responsive except for the power button. I ran diagnostics and everything reports back okay. I went through the Apple suggestions - slow keys isn't checked, the correct keyboard input is selected, etc. Software is up today. Is the quality really suffered that much? First, my two year old MacBook Pro dies ((display went out and it was $$$ to fix it despite it being a clear displaygate problem -- all of the textbook symptoms were met) ) and now a few weeks old M2 Air is not working? Any suggestions on fixes other than trying to find an open slot in the Genius Bar? Disappointing to say the least. Thanks in advance.

Some default apps and preference panes not responding 2019 MBP - Ventura 13.0.1 Some apps have begun to freeze up while running and then will not reopen. Music, Messages, Mail. App store will also sit on "loading" spinning indefinitely. Calendar also froze today but a force quit allowed it to restart. Also some preference pane tabs (users & groups, privacy & security, wallet & apple pay) will not load and then turn up "not responding" in the Force Quit menu. Restarting the computer allows the apps to reload but does not allow the preference panes to work. Apps begin to freeze again in less than 24hrs. Safe mode allowed the privacy and security pane to load. When force quitting any of these the report Event is listed as "hang" I have AVG antivirus (basic) and Malwarebytes installed and they find no problems. I installed Malwarebytes after the problem started to show up because I was suspicious of malware. Nothing new was installed recently before the problem started to show up. I'm not sure what to try next.

Good Afternoon Eliana2005,

I see you're having a problem with your cursor becoming unresponsive on your MacBook Air, so let's see if we can clear that up.

You'll want to follow along with the steps outlined in the following resource for help with this:

If the pointer doesn’t move when using the trackpad with Mac

If the steps within that resource don't help to clear this up, you'll want to Contact Apple Support as service may be needed to look into this.

Have a great day!
