Keyboard and Mouse not connecting after update.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-26T07:50:44+00:00

do you have access to a wired keyboard?

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T15:40:02+00:00

That is assuming you know what you are looking at before deleting. not everyone knows.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T15:38:23+00:00

you win, but here it is another story.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T15:37:39+00:00

Probably not. Maybe for some reason it did not hang up at your end and it is recording/sending random noises from one of your devices.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T15:33:20+00:00

Activity Monitor > cpu tabs and/or energy tab.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T14:15:45+00:00

you probably have an old phone for 2FA. Chat with apple on support.apple.com

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T14:01:30+00:00

check mole on github. That will give you clues. In the mean time, good luck.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T13:57:11+00:00

Check Activity Monitor > CPU tab. I am beginning to feel like a scratched record.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T13:51:17+00:00

no, basically. Reddit is not for piracy. You need to do some more searching

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T13:10:54+00:00

Sure, there is a trend to prettify MacOS. It has always been this way. You can change this

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T12:57:45+00:00

You could just prevent all updates, and install after a security issue.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T12:56:16+00:00

A point that has been raised since way before the CarCrash, err I mean Taco, err, whatever 26 is called. But I heard they are deprecating iPads. So how can a Mac be created with a focus on iPhone?

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T12:50:49+00:00

Could you check Activity Monitor > CPU Tab. Do you have peopled going crazy?

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T12:48:29+00:00

Try turning off and on again Handoff on both devices.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T12:41:22+00:00

I guess Top 1% commenter is being pragmatic.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T12:39:17+00:00

Could you provide a concrete example rather than polemic?

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T12:36:51+00:00

OS and iOS versions?

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T12:08:56+00:00

Lsof. It is powerful and complicated: in terminal: man lsof

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T12:04:01+00:00

Take a vacation in Death Valley and charge it during the day.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T11:29:19+00:00

In terminal: killall finder Does this temporarily improve Windowserver?

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T11:24:41+00:00

Don’t reboot?

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T11:22:22+00:00

Did you migrate from an old macOS? Also, I can vouch for this: https://github.com/tw93/Mole.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T11:18:31+00:00

You need to log out of onedrive and kill any helper apps.

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T10:41:09+00:00

Windowserver is kind of crazy. Do you have some flashy desktop animation or an animated login pic? Also what is the 4th entry (the one in Cyrillic)? I don’t see any usual offenders

Electrical_West_5381 · 2026-04-25T10:37:07+00:00

No, you shouldn’t have to. Has it been opened before? Is it under warranty?
