  • Problem starting el capitan (sierra) - built-in keyboard and the mouse do not respond

    Hello

    I have a 2015 macbook pro (SSD 256, 16 GB of RAM last el capitan updated) with a wired problem.

    I use it mainly to a cinema monitor and I use wireless keyboard and mouse (office installation program), and of course as a stand-alone laptop when I'm not at my desk.

    When I put the laptop to sleep, everything works fine when I wake up.

    but, if I'm away from the office and I have to restart my laptop, here is the problem.

    The boot process is very very slow, there is no edge, and when I finally have the screen to unlock the safe, the keyboard and the touchpad do not react. Actually, that's not exactly true, they are so slow that they are unusable and get caught quickly, all gel. So I can't unlock and complete the boot. My laptop is unusable ;-(

    At this point, I get a message that if I forgot my password I just need to reboot by pressing the power button, and I'll be able to reset it.

    When I do this and aprΦs the dΘmarrage that more slowly than usual but ok, I get another screen with several options of problem solving. One of them is "keyboard not responding do not. When choosing this one, it asks if you want to remove safe. I tried and everything was back to normal.

    later, I delivered safe and I had the same problem again. I did the thing to be able to restart again and improved to sierra in the hope that it would disappear. However, the problem is still there.

    I thought I could try to restart my office to see if my keyboard and wireless mouse would still work. Indeed, even if responsiveness was not normal, I could unlock and fill the chest.

    I have the impression that my laptop always "believe" it is on my desk, linked to my screen (probably the reason why I don't hear the Bell) and to my wireless K & M.

    It's really annoying and I hope someone has a solution.

    Thank you very much

    best,

    Alex

    I'm having a similar problem with macOS Sierra which I didn't have with El Capitan.  I can possibly move the cursor on the power button and turn off (no), but I must be patient because the keyboard and trackpad are only for a fraction of a second, which only allows me to move the mouse slightly.  After he stop and start back up, everything is perfect until I tried another reboot, and then I'm back to the beginning.

    I tried to reinstall the operating system, reset the SMC, resetting the NVRAM, reboot in SafeMode... nothing worked so far.

  • How can I solve very slow scrolling with the mouse when you press the command key? (MacBook Pro, Lion, no problem when using trackpad, no problem with other web browsers, other mice have the same problem)

    Scrolling speed is fine, but when you press the command key and then it becomes very slow.

    He does it with a mouse, but not with the trackpad.
    It does when the modules are disabled.
    No problem on Safari or Chrome.
    No problem on PC.

    I think it all started when I went form a MacBook with Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro with Lion.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • slow start up and slow down the stop

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my brother's computer. It's very slow when starting and very slow when it stops, also for when the computer is in use it is slow.

    I defragment the hard disk, use disk cleanup and search for any virus.

    I also looked in the advanced tools and performance tools, he gave me information indicating that the wmi provider host and the vaio entertainment database service caused the computer to the slow start.
     
    IM afraid if I remove these automatically start something worse would go wrong.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi rookcpu,

    Before you attempt any other measure, I suggest you try the following basic steps, these steps are worth a try:

    Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

     

    Step 2: Put the computer to boot to determine which program is causing the problem

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

    The response of the mouse becomes slow and I get the low battery warning.  Until this started happening batteries have been change less than a month.

    Hello

    1. What is the brand of mouse and the model?

    2 have you ever done any recent software or changes to the hardware to the computer?

    If you use the Microsoft mouse, I suggest you follow these methods:

    Troubleshoot a wireless mouse that does not correctly:

    Troubleshoot the incidents of the response to the mouse or wireless keyboard:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/838398

    Use the following tips to get more life on the batteries in the keyboard and mouse:

    a. use the mouse on a surface of clear color. With the help of the mouse above a black surface can deplete the battery at a faster pace.

    b. do not use the mouse on a glass surface.

    c. when replacing the batteries, use alkaline batteries. Other types, may not last as long.

    d. when wireless devices are not in use, store them near the computer.

    If you put expensive RAM and/or incorrect RAM then Yes. iMacs are very sensitive to the RAM and you must use quality RAM, more experienced on these forums users use OWC (www.macsales.com) or critical (direct purchase).

  • Satellite U400 - color of the shell of edges and slow start of the housing

    Hi all

    Just bought a Satellite U400-15B and am loving the laptop itself but have the following two issues.

    First of all, regarding the case I noticed that on the edge of the high gloss base (where he meets the not shiny black plastic bottom) the paint is already peeling.

    It is mainly about above the left USB port, CD drive in Rabat and at the rear above the battery (only visible when the lid is closed). It is very minor and is only visible when looked at her carefully, but obviously I paid a lot for this so do not want to look all worn in a few months. Someone at - it? I took a look at a few display models and its mixed, some are worn in areas similar some are perfect. I would like to exchange it, but I'm afraid that the replacement can be another problem like a dead pixel or may have the same problem only worse?

    Second, I noticed that my laptop takes a long time to start compared to my old Toshiba A200 which also runs Vista. I removed a lot of bloatware and the Toshiba TEMPRO, which I heard is also causing problems, but I still have this problem. It seems to start fine until the Vista logo screen then it takes awhile, while displaying "Please wait".

    Anyone has any ideas on this?

    Hello MrAK

    If the laptop is brand new and you have a few days only I recommend you contact your dealer as soon as possible and. Talk with them and explain that you don't want to have replacement with dead Pixel or something like that. I hope they will understand you and help get new but 100% good laptop.

    Slow start is discussed several times. I have Satellite A300 and commissioning was horrible, but now, after a slight modification it starts after only 1.5 minutes.
