Hy guys,I've got a strange problem since 9.0 with Live, installing Mavericks did not solved it.
The problem : sometimes (randomly) my keyboard and mouse stop working under Live. The comouter doesn't stop working, still playing the live set, without any problem, I can move the mouse cursor, but can't click or do anything. (both extrrnal and built in keyboard mouse die on Macbook Pro)
Hard reset solve the problem, but now its very frustrating. (this will ben the 14th restart in this hour)
