Mouse and keyboard freezing up in Mavericks. What do I do?

on my mbp 2010 15", i did fix the over heat issue by reflow the board again, but now after i use a ssd drive look like the timing might be a issue 3 beep or no video when boot up, I try reset smc etc, it help but I am still looking at why this happen.

i hope apple do more quailty control before release the product. and fix what is wrong.

thanks.

There's a known issue with the Nexus 5 connecting to and transferring data from MBPs. I know because I have one. Right now the quick & dirty fix is to go into APP SETTINGS for MEDIA STORAGE and clear the data & cache for the app. It won't affect your files, it'll just clear out the Media Storage configuration and should let you connect without issue.

I have a 27" iMac - frequently (every couple days or so) the cursor will freeze and become unresponsive - I use an Apple trackpad and a Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse, neither has any influence on the cursor. I need to hard reboot (power button) and the functionality is restored on restart. This started some time shortly after installing Mavericks. I thought for a while, it had gone away, after an update but it's back and extremely annoying. Someone has suggested trying Command-Space to invoke Spotlight (I use a wired keyboard, which continues to work during these freezes, which leads me to suspect Bluetooth), and then doing a serch on Bluetooth, arrow down to Bluetooth preferences, and toggle Bluetooth on.

I'll try that the next time it happens and report back the results

I have a macbook pro 2010 15", not the same machine that you have, but base on the experience that i have before, the software driver and setting might cause all kind of problem that you have never seen before.

if you have time, and really want to sort the things out, is get another internal hard drive, install the just the basic stuff to proof that you machine is ok first.

after that you get a external hard drive and use carbon copy cloner to burn the image as the backup and keep adding what you normally use and then test the system again.

when the error come, use the image to step back.

this is how I fix my old macbook and now it is almost in perfect condition.

good luck.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!

Keyboard and mouse pad freezes while working on Ableton Live 9 and other audio software.

Late 2013 Macbook Pro 15 retina (2600€) Maverick OSX 10.9.2.

I'm a dj and I can't use my laptop for dj set, this is incredibly frustrating! it's really a great problem.

Exact same problem here with ableton 9 and late mbp 13 retina 2013 - OSX 10.9.3

It only seems to make the mouse and keyboard unresponsive when the phone isn't unlocked. Use an external mouse and it still works, its just the trackpad and keyboard that become unresponsive. Just be sure to unlock the phone first and then plug it in.

This was also very annoying for me, as I kept having to hard reboot my machine.

I disabled Android File Transfer from booting automatically when a device was plugged in and I haven't had mouse or keyboard hangs since!!

Hope this helps you guys too.

Android File Transfer causes the built-in keyboard and trackpad to stop functioning. I don't know how this isn't a bigger deal. Please STAR the bug report to get Google to fix it: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39548
