Keyboard & trackpad not working with my Macbook Air - FIXED :-) I've had the same problem on & off for years even through several system upgrades. About three days ago my keyboard & trackpad were not working and I could not restore them. After trying everything I could read about it I still had the problem. . . Then finally I found out my problem. I had access to the MacBook Air via an external keyboard and mouse. Same problem as above. My trackpad preferences did not see my onboard trackpad. Only a spinning wheel. FIX.. Turn off bluetooth. My MacBook Air was close to my iMac. Both systems have Bluetooth on. My iMac preferences showed my MBA and was trying to share it. I think it had the monitor. I had two monitors showing in my upper menu. As soon as I turned off bluetooth on my iMac my MacBook Air came back to me! Totally fine. I assume I could have turned off bluetooth on the MacBook Air and it would have resolved the problem also. I imagine that if I took the MacBook Air for a walk away from my iMac...
