Why does my cursor freeze in OX 10.6.8 until i relaunch my finder?

While online in either Safari or Firefox my cursor as I am navigating a page will suddendly freeze on screen.
I them am forced to relaunch finder, then unplug my mouse from the keyboard and once again, relaunch the finder.
Then the cursor will move again. Any solutions to this problem guys? This is really driving me nuts. It happens about 5 times an hour!
Thanks for your help!

I have the same problem, and it's very annoying ! It doesn't happen with a "Logitech" Mouse, only with my "Bluestork".
I have to unplug and replug the USB dongle to unfreeze it.  This problem isn't due to my session, it also happen on a new 10.6 installation on another hard drive. It happens as I connect it on a USB hub or directly to a computer's USB port.

I have done every step described in this link (except installing 10.6.2) but none solved my problem.
I don't know what to do,

    I Turn it off/on  and nothing changes.

    Hello bigboza,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

    Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

    I had a similar problem after upgrading to Windows 7. The problem seemed to be that there was a dialog box that opened
    that was not visible on the screen and it was blocking the print completion. Try this. Open the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences and clear the field "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." When I did that it solved my problem.
    The unseen dialog box seems to be the fault of Windows 7, in my opinion.

  • Why does mavericks mail freeze mac while downloading new mail

    why does my mac freeze up while new emails are being downloaded ?

    Same problems here, too. It started a few days ago. A lot of users seem to have this/these problem(s). Is there still no solution to this from Apple, apart from a complete reset of the iPad? Quite embarrassing issue for Apple - the "settings" are a quite important part of a computer, and one  that shouldn't freeze....
    Other forums suggest it is an iCloud problem (which might explain that contacts does not work - and the calendar without sync is meaningless anyway). After MobileMe, with which many users had similar problems, had to be replaced by iCloud, maybe iCloud  has to be replaced, too. MobileMe, iCloud, next is YouLoose, maybe. Hopefully Apple looks at its own wbsite and works on solutions.

  • Why does my iTunes freeze up?

    Why does my iTunes freeze up every time it is opened.  It only operates for about 10 -15 seconds and then freezes.  I've tried installing it again several times, but with no different results.  Can anyone give me something to try?  Have I downloaded some program that I shouldn't have?  Thank you for any suggestions that you can give me.

  • TS3367 why does my screen freeze while using face time?

    Why does my screen freeze on my iphone 4 while using face time? I am connected to wi-fi and internet is working fine.

    Is your iPhone storage capacity full or close to it?
    Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset is similar to computer restart.

  • WHY DOES MY NETFLIX  FREEZE ON MY APPLETV??

    WHY DOES MY NETFLIX FREEZE ON MY APPLE TV?

    Tested my appleTV2 on Comcast 26mbps down = no hiccups or freezes
    Tested on Time Warner NYC 10Mbps down  = pauses, hiccups, freezes (on Netflix and iTunes rentals)
    Therefore I assume it is the service provider, not Netflix
    One other problem: it takes a very long time to connect to iTunes for Podcasts (spinning wheel) on both Comcast and Time Warner - Therefore I believe that is Apple Server delay.

  • Why does the video freeze half way through my movie and the audio keep going?

    Why does my movie freeze half way through and the audio continues?

    Most likely this is due to running out of virtual memory. You can reset virtual memory by restarting your Mac.
    Long term you may want to consider purchasing more memory.

  • Why does the cursor disappear completely?

    The cursor disappears completely from the screen sometimes (I have a microsoft wireless mouse), and it does no good to use the pad either. Sometimes if I close the Mac, go away and come back, the cursor has returned. Other times I have to turn off the mac.  Advice?

    Because the bottom of the computer is blocking the display.

  • So...why does my cursor keep freezing in Lion?

    My cursor freezes, and I'm not sure how to fix it or why it's occuring. It sometimes freezes when I'm in Safari, but, alas, I can't now recall if that is the only time it freezes. I'm using the 10.7.3 operating system and the latest Safari. Any help out there? Are others having this problem? Thanks.
