Keyboard and mouse freezing post Mavericks update (not Logitech)

I have been having the same issue! Quite annoying to say the least.

just updated to maverix and what a pain !!!

it seems to me that the mouse/keyboard issue is more when linked using apple software, a slap in the face for them.

mostly when open/close a quicktime window, mail, itunes, the mouse freezes, keyboard is not responsive for 10 to 30 seconds while the rest still works. anything playing on the screen remains active but i have no control and seems totally random too. so if i want to lower the sound or press pause when my phone rigns, i am SOL.

it's not a life threating issue but ennoying like a buzzing mosquito

Looks like I'm having the same problem. Brand new Mac Book Pro freezing trackpad and keyboard at random (not externaly connected but in built keyboard and trackpad)

No clue as to what casues it to happen, though it has only happened on wireless network not ethernet network, not sure if that means anything. Only solution is to hold the power button down and restart. System log just prior to forced shutdown is as follows

Still looking to see if there is a solution out there.

I have very same issue here - brand new MBP Retina with 16Gb RAM. I use only Apple wireless mouse and trackpad. No Logitech mouse... Any solution from Apple?

This discussion looks like its a duplicate of https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5481839?start=0&tstart=0

I'm supposed to be taking my macbook to the Genius bar tomorrow..... not sure if that will do anything, we we have already done a harsware reset based on guidance from the apple support team.

yes, you are right, it is a duplicate issue. If you get any help from Genius, please, let us kow...

I found the following steps will unfreeze the trackpad:

1. Use Command + Space to launch Spotlight

2. Type "System Preferences" in Spotlight to open the System Preferences program

3. Inside of the search field in System Preferences, type "mouse"

4. Press the "Enter" key to oper the mouse preferences

At this point, the trackpad will unfreeze.

If you leave System Preferences open after you've completed the steps above, when the trackpad freezes again, you can use Command + Tab to bring System Preferences to the top of your windows. Doing so will unfreeze the mouse.

Very annoying, but better than a reboot if you're presenting in front of people. I hope Apple fixes this soon.

OK update.

Genius bar found a fault on my Mac with a sensor so it is being replaced. However while waiting for the replacement I installed the latest firmware update from Apple speciffically targetting this propblem and the issue has gone amway.
