Keyboard and Mouse Unresponsive - Mavericks

Every few minutes, a lot of times when switching to Safari or Mail, but sometimes just while using them, my keyboard and mouse will become unusable. Mouse won't move or click, keyboard won't work at all. Keyboard is USB, mouse is bluetooth. I removed all non-Apple Safari plugins, no change.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Mid-2010 27" i5 12GB

It appears to be working now. I followed post #10's instructions and so far I have gone 30 min without the keyboard or mouse becoming unresponsive.


I'll try installing LCC 3.8 tomorrow and see if that version fixes this issue. All my function key shortcuts aren't working at the moment (launch iTunes, volume +/-, ...) and it would be nice to have those. I'm willing to give those up temporarily to at least have a keyboard and mouse that works. 🙂

The following worked for my Logitech Anywhere MX Mouse:


  1. Renamed"/users/YOURUSERNAME/library/preferences/com.Logitech.Control Center.Assignments.registry" to"/users/YOURUSERNAME/library/preferences/com.Logitech.Control Center.Assignments.registry.backup", then trashed this file.
  2. Uninstalled Logitech Control Center as described in http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26976
  3. Installed this version: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/anywhere-mouse-mx?section=downloads&bit=&o sid=21



Btw:


Whilst not having a working mouse at hand, Mobile Mouse helped me out quite well. Lets you use iPhone/iPad as a trackpad input device for the Mac.. 😎
