The driver (Apple USB BCM5974 (Macbook Air and Penryn Macbook Pro) multitouch driver) is apparently included in Android since 2013 and offers functionality for exactly my trackpad model. But unfortunately the trackpad (keyboard works fine) doesn't work in Android at all.

Works ok in my BIOS and in Windows 10 (no gestures, "just" like a mouse). Both the keyboard and trackpad (from a 13" MacBook Pro 2011) work flawlessly in MacOS and Linux. When I uninstalled MagicPrefs, the freezing problem immediately disappeared! I think that proofs that MagicPrefs was the culprit.After lots of hours I managed to succeed. TLDR if it doesn't work anymore thats it, if it still works then its just a matter of time until it won't. Apple is not likely to replace the deprecated Api's nor provide access to the underlying multitouch technology so that's the end of the line for MagicPrefs and similar software. MagicPrefs is more than 5 years old now and is no longer mantained, the functionality it provided was made possible by Api's that are now deprecated and reverse engineered private Apple frameworks. I went to their website to see if there were any updates and saw this notice: There wasn't anything installed recently, but I was using MagicPrefs for some years. That made me think about software I have installed that has to do with Human Interface Devices. Try uninstalling this software, then see if that solves the issue.

If you’ve recently installed drivers for a third party input device, or software that lets you do things like customize your key bindings, this could hypothetically be the issue. If high resource usage persists, the likely culprit is third party software. So I went Googling and found this explanation of what the hidd process is. in Dutch, I don't know the exact column name in English.) I immediately noticed that the hidd process had a "Yes" in that column. (My MacOS is set to Dutch, the column is called Plots. I added the column showing if a process was unexpectedly stopped. Then I right clicked on the column headers to add some more columns, hoping I would find a clue. No processes were taking up more than 20% CPU. The first thing I noticed, was that the CPU load was low overall. Today the problem occurred again, and I think I managed to find the culprit! Once the problem occurred, I opened Activity Monitor to see if I could spot some process doing weird. Uninstalled it, problem gone! How I found the culprit I found out that my problem was caused by the no longer maintained MagicPrefs software.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)ĭoes someone have had a similar problem? If so, what was the cause en did you find a solution? If not, where do I start to look for possible causes?.

I just close the lid and it goes to sleep until I open the lid again.

Normally, I never shutdown or reboot my Mac.

The problem occurs every couple of days now.

(Before, I thought it had to do with external monitors, but recently the problem occurred when I was working "stand alone", so that theory is off the table.)

The problem occurs both with external monitors attached and when working "stand alone".

It doesn't matter how I switch, either CMD-TAB or by selecting an other apps window by mouse, the problem is the same.

Once it occurs, it occurs on every switch, no matter between which applications.

I was not able to pinpoint a single app to cause this issue.

Then it works fine again, even when switching between apps. I can only stop this by rebooting the Mac.

When I switch to another app, it will happen again. After that, everything works as if nothing happened. This freeze may last a couple of seconds to a minute or even more. This is triggered by switching between applications.

These applications are for Mac users who find Apple‘s default click, tap, and two-finger scrolling gestures too limiting for their needs. After working fine for days, my Mac has started freezing temporarily. Apple‘s upcoming OS Lion trackpad and mouse gestures don’t compare to what BetterTouchTool and another similar application, MagicPrefs, have to offer.
