every mavericks user, except 13" late rMBP, do you have "kernel usb keyboard" log report issue on your console, check it out please

08/11/13 00:49:01,000 kernel[0]: The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)

That message will normally appear on any Mac, when it is awakened by pressing a key on the keyboard.

Apple released this firmware update to address the trackpad issue today: MacBook Pro Retina EFI Update v1.3

Yes it would really benefit us.

The easiest way to go to your console is by pressing CMD + SPACEBAR and then type in "console" and press enter.

I don't believe iMac's and MacPro's have this in their logs because they use an external mouse/keyboard. We know that connecting a USB2 device stops the kernel messages.

They do. This is from an iMac:

Nov 7 17:37:10 iMac kernel[0]: The USB device HubDevice (Port 1 of Hub at 0xfa000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)

Nov 7 17:37:10 iMac kernel[0]: The USB device Keyboard Hub (Port 2 of Hub at 0xfa100000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (3)

Nov 7 17:37:10 iMac kernel[0]: The USB device Apple Keyboard (Port 2 of Hub at 0xfa120000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (3)

John Galt I stand corrected. Thanks for sharing this.

Let us know if the above update fixes it. I don't have any 13" MBPs to test.

What I find strange about this case is that your using an iMac meaning that there's a usb device or Bluetooth advice connected as a mouse. When you plug any usb2 device in the rMBP it stops showing that log. Yet you keep getting that log on your iMac even with an external mouse.

Thanks for sharing. Seems the freeze problem has been solved by the EFI update.

But I still doubt "That message will normally appear on any Mac", at least not that often like things going on the 13'' rMBP late 2013. Nearly every time you touch the trackpad or keyboard, it just appears.

Google "kernel[0]: The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)“ or simply "may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)”, you'll find lots of the results point to the 13'' rMBP late 2013.

Anyway, we need more reports. All Mavericks users, we need your help! Thanks!

That is not normal. The "caused a wake" log should only appear when waking a Mac.

Yes, after the EFI update I'm seeing over 4,000 of these error messages.

This happens everytime I touch the keyboard or trackpad. I believe this should not be a normal ocurrence performing such a NORMAL and Essential task as using the imbedded peripherals to operate a machine.

I contacted Apple Support and spoke with a Senior Advisor for troubleshooting. I was instructed to send capture data to apple showing the console errors in their entirety.

From my impressions speaking with Apple today, this is not a normal error and a exchange might be offered, but I'm afraid that will not remedy the issue. This being a chronic and widespread issue with OSX Mavericks and late rMBP Haswell models.

I don't know if it's related but I am having a keyboard related problem. My apple usb keyboard often fails to detect on cold boot and restart when it's plugged into a thunderbolt display with both a macbook pro retina and a mac mini.

Can this be related? Is there a fix?

I'm not sure if its related. Please check your log entries within Console.

Applications->Utilities folder->Console

I guess it seems not, I don't have the same errors. I've got abunch of other crap about address book and calender and "google software update" which is pretty disturbing since I never installed any google software that I know of. Nothing about this keyboard issue though. 😕

Hi,

I am having the same problems on the 15 inch late 2013 macbook pro, the EFI update is only available for the 13 inch models however. Has there been any progress on the other machines ?

Thanks
