Erratic Mouse and Keyboard issues...with weird console log...

Hello All,
I recently installed Snow Leopard on my 2x2.8 Quad Core Mac Pro following a boot drive melt down. Apple replaced the drive via Apple Care and I re-installed all my apps. The only additional item of note is I have Lycom SATA four port card that required a driver update.
Since setting up this machine with the new OS I am having massive issues with keyboard lag, erratic mouse movement and intermittent freezing.
I've run tech tools deluxe and everything passes with that app. I cant find the original install disks so running AHT on this machine isn't going to happen.
I've tried with and without the driver and the issue seems to still be there.
On a whim I opened console and I am seeing this message hundreds and hundreds of times over...
8/8/10 2:21:11 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.xinetd.xinetd[2652]) Exited with exit code: 1
8/8/10 2:21:11 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.xinetd.xinetd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
8/8/10 2:21:21 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.xinetd.xinetd[2655]) posix_spawn("xinetd", ...): No such file or directory
Anyone got any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Scott

Jstys92,
Heat?  Motherboard?  Sounds like hardware since it's across Operating systems...
If you have a warranty, this is the time to call HP.

If not, I still think you have a HW issue.  It is relatively consistant, too.  Like something is breaking down - physically.  Not a disk - BIOS... notherboard... something that holds everything together.
Computers are not supposed to warm up and then start doing whatever they want.
We do not live it in that world, at least not yet.

You could run some Diagnostics.  The UEFI Diagnostics, if you don't already have them on your system, are very good and provide a decent "human interface".

  • Wireless mouse and Keyboard Issue after closing the lid - external display

    Can anyone give any insight. Recent purchase of a new Late 2008 15" MBP. I have connected it to an external 24" Apple monitor on my desk and use a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard on my desk top. I have configured the laptop to wake on bluetooth devices. So here is the problem: The laptop when the lid is up recognizes the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I close the lid/screen. Laptop powers down... the after several seconds I move the mouse and the laptop comes alive... But after that there are no bluetooth devices attached. When I use the mouse, I get "connection lost" with a white figure of the mighty mouse on the screen. The wireless keyboard is not there and I have to open the lid and manually find the mouse and reconnect. The keyboard seems to work however....
    Apple..... any thoughts..... anyone?????

    Hi Stentdoc; I'm thinking, 'connection lost ~= sorta low AA batteries in the Mighty Mouse? (I would put in fresh AA batteries in the mouse and keyboard, to eliminate as an issue that the 'connection lost' is due to low batt voltage; that this is causing the failure to wake.) ... then, in System Preferences > Hardware > Energy Saver, settings for Power Adapter > Sleep, set to "never" for "Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for ..." to eliminate that as a conflict when trying to wake with bluetooth from sleep induced by closing the lid ...
    Check your current "Sleep" setup (I left my MBP as "3")
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    After you launch Terminal, the first step is to determine which sleep mode your Mac is currently using. You can both view and change the sleep mode using the Unix program pmset. To see your current settings, type (or, copy and paste)
    pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    press 'enter'
    You should see something like this:
    $ pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    hibernatemode 3
    So your machine is using mode 3 ... thanks to the documentation for the handy Deep Sleep Dashboard widget, which puts your machine immediately into hibernation mode (so you don’t have to yank all the power sources to invoke it):
    * 0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
    * 1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
    * 3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
    also, I enabled this (to change back, input "lidwake 1":
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    type in sudo pmset lidwake 0 then "enter"
    it will ask for your password. type it in, that's it!
    Now, when your computer is sleeping with the lid closed, when you open the lid nothing happens until you press any key ... nice: keeps it off when accidentally opened, like in a backpack?

  • New wireless mouse and keyboard issues

    I have a new 20", 2.4GHz alu iMac, and I ordered it with the new bluetooth keyboard, and bluetooth mighty mouse. They've always worked great, but yesterday, the mouse has had intermittant lag, and it says that the keyboard has lost connection. I've been running Leopard since it came out, and I've never had such problems with Tiger. I reinstalled Leopard a few hours ago (erase and install), and I'm still getting the lag. I wanted to see whether it is my mouse, so I tried pairing it with my brother's white intel iMac, and it couldn't pair, but it made my brother's bluetooth mighty mouse lag too! Could this be due to interference? Our rooms are right beside each other.
    Also, when the lag occurs, I get the message that its lost connection with the keyboard, however it still works perfectly. The lag is very noticeable, and it takes about 3-4 times longer for the mouse to move, while being very choppy. This is for about 10-15 seconds, and then it goes normal speed again.
    Is anyone else having this challenge? Could anyone diagnose whether it's likely to be the computer, the mouse, or interference, (or other!)?
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    I have a 6 week old imac 24" alu intel with wireless keyboard & mouse and it was all working fine until the 10.5.1 upgrade. it also started on the same day there was a big rain storm so I thought that might be messing with my blue tooth connections. i have no other bluetooth devices other than the mouse and keyboard. at first it was intolerable. i'd get the keyboard connection lost message every few minutes, the keyboard would continue to function and the mouse would go very sluggish for a minute or 2. this was happening every 5 minutes or so. i deleted each one an reconnected, shut everything off, restarted the computer and it seemed ok for about 1 hour and then it happened again a few times. definitely not as often as before but it still happens from time to time every few hours. power on both is about 75% and seeing as they have new duracel batteries i'm sure they are not dead.
    I did the auto update to 10.5.1 and had all the permission issues so then downloaded and installed the larger 100+ meg update. not sure if this has caused any problems.
    So far leopard has only been a pain. Reason 4 crashes, Parallels 3 crashes, Mail crashes (I wrote some important notes which I guess don't get automatically saved like drafts and lost the notes when mail crashed several hours after I wrote them), my software update even crashed once. is Leopard built on OS 9 technology? what a disappointment.
    Oh and internet and wireless connection to ADSL seems pretty slow, slower than tiger I think.
    Windows should start a new campaign called "Come back".
    One last beef, do other people find this wireless keyword (metal) not so responsive, letters get missed as I type, space bar is stiff and squeaky, overall not great for someone doing a lot of writing? that's what I think.

  • Lost mouse and keyboard wireless with lion

    IMac with wireless keyboard and mouse. during sleep or screen saver often lose the connection to the keyboard and mouse and I have to restart your iMac. how to fix this?
    I have imac 2009 with mac os x lion

    If two Bluetooth dongles won't work, and making sure the software is up to date won't work, then the device you are trying to use with the dongle may be the one that is faulty. However if that works with another computer, it may be that it doesn't fully conform to the Bluetooth specs that are used on Apple's machines. Check to make sure the headset has fully charged batteries.

  • TS3048 I am usng a bluetooth keyboard with my Mac and some of the keys are not working.  They are the numbers 1 through  9.  I have gone through the troubleshooting for mouse and keyboard and everything looks good. How can I get them to work again?

    Hi,  I am using a Mac computer that my husband set up.  I have worked on it recently with no problems.  Today, I am having problems with the bluetooth keyboard not  working properly.  The numbers 1 through 9 do not work.  I have gone through troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues and everything looks good.  Except, when I check the keys on the keyboard viewer, these keys still do not work.  The webpage guides me through and at this point I do not know what to do next, because the keyboard is still not working properly.  I sure hope there are some experienced people in the community to help me.  What should I do?

    Hi:
    I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
    I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again.  The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair.  If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected.  If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin. 
    Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables.  I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger.  I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
    I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one.  If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
    I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense).  I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items.  When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens.  The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info."  At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section.  You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad. 
    After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
    If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options).  Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

  • Mouse and keyboard giving erratic results

  • Mouse/Keyboard issues with Mountain Lion

    Has anyone had issues with mouse and keyboard functionality with Mountain Lion?  I have two iMacs and a Mac Book Pro, but this iMac is the only one I'm having trouble with.  First, ML somehow prompted Razer Nostromo drivers to stop functioning(just for macros).  I just figured I had to wait until an update was released(which btw hasn't happened yet )  However, I also use the Razer Naga and I don't believe that the Naga is the culprit, but I could be wrong.  For the past week or so when I single click, it registers as as a double-click.  It is SO annoying.  Has anyone experienced this?  I have gone over all mouse and accessibility settings and nothing helps.  I have downloaded the updated drivers and nothing works. 
    Thanks in advance for all responses,
    Ashley

    I didn't think of doing that, but I tried it and the problem does not occur when the right mouse button is primary.  However, when I switched it back to make the left button primary, the problem returned.  Would this indicate that it is a hardware problem or could it implicate the drivers as well?  I suppose the mouse would make sense since I do not use this mouse on my other two items with Mac OS X.  What do you think?
    Thanks,
    Ashley

  • Apple TV, monitor use and lag time with mouse and keyboard

    I purchased an Apple TV so that I could use one monitor to switch between my Mac Mini and my MacbookPro. The monitor is hardwired to the Mini, but the MacbookPro uses airplay. My wireless mouse and keyboard lag with this setup. Is there a way to fix this?

    My contacts in Pyongyang and Interlaken tell me you have fallen in the abyss that "The Great Successor,” Kim Jong-un refers to when he goes to DisneyWorld. One is either ‘right’ or ‘wrong,’ never ‘helpful.’ However due to your Stalinist screen name, you’ve been awarded some slack.
    I didn’t see a reference to even a clue on the Apple TV site regarding my traumatic technological problem. I’ll be contacting the Grack Granny Smythe force at Apple’s underground facility at La Junta, CO.
    There will be a one way, non-stop, sleeper class Lockheed SR-71 waiting for you at Nantucket International if Tech Support for Apple TV denies that Apple TV exists any longer.

  • Problems with Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

    Last week my keyboard started repeating letters and not responding and the mouse started acting like an old mouse with a dirty trackball. I searched many message boards and got no help for my specific problem. I'm on a PowerPC G5 running OS 10.3.9.
    Batteries are good. I have run both a hardware test and disk utility with no problems found. The problem seems to have shown up after an apple software update. Don't know if that could have caused some sort of system incompatibility problem.
    Since both mouse and keyboard work with my powerbook, I don't know what else to do. I have re-paired both mouse and keyboard and had some problems with them showing up. I also have shut down the system, unpluged everything and started up again but nothing has worked.
    If anyone has an answer I would be really greatful. Please help. thanks

    Hi again,
    No, I had not even thought of that. I just unplugged it and plugged it back in and the problem may be fixed!!!!!
    Since the problem is intermittent, I'm not sure yet. The worst trouble I've been having has been in trying to drag things across the screen and I have just been able to do that with several windows.
    Yeah!!! I think you may have done it. I will keep this thread open for a while but I think that was it. You my friend are a genius! I'm a bit embarassed to have not thought of that. I didn't even remember that that antenna existed.
    thanks sooooooo much.

  • Wireless Mouse and keyboard have lost connectivity with iMac?

    Computer turned off for a week. Restarted, and wireless mouse and keyboard no longer connected to computer. Help please

    Hello Pompoo220s,
    It is certainly difficult to use the computer if your wireless keyboard and mouse do not connect or stay connected.  I found a few resources I recommend for this issue.
    I recommend reviewing this article first:
    Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
    If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the article below.  Step 9 specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
    9. Restart your computer
    Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.

  • In Flashplayer, I can crossover mouse and keyboard events. In IrfanView I cannot. Can this be fixed?

    My client uses IrfanView to play SWF files. Unfortunately, he does not use Flashplayer. In Flashplayer, I can crossover mouse and keyboard events with no problem. In IrfanView, the second I click a button, the keyboard events are disabled. Is there a fix?

    Hi Ned. I may have posted this issue a bit early, but this problem is also happening in Flashplayer 10. It's not exclusive to IrfanView.
    Here is something that I encountered during my testing, when I jump to scene 6 using the menu button, I have a play button to jump from one frame to the next frame that stops -- the keyboard events start working. But if all I am doing is jumping scene to scene with the mouse button, the keyboard events are disabled.
    I feel as if the keyboard events only work if I am playing frames in the scene. And if all I am doing is jumping scene to scene using the buttons, the keys will disable.
    I set up the mouse buttons inside a movieclip that all the scenes share. The mouse actionscript is in the movieclip. On the main timeline of each scene is an actionscript for the keyboard events, even though I had to change each function name.
    I feel the actionscript is setup pretty simple. I just wish clicking the buttons would not disable the keyboard events. This may sound redundant, but the keyboard events do the same thing if you use the mouse buttons. It's just preference for the client even though he will need to understand that using the mouse buttons override the keyboard events. He doesn't really lose functionality.
    Keyboard actionscripting below:
    import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyEvent);
    function onKeyEvent(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
    var character:String=String.fromCharCode(e.charCode);
    if (e.keyCode==72) {
      gotoAndStop(1,"master");
    if (e.charCode==49) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Distributor");
    if (e.charCode==50) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Mirka");
    if (e.charCode==51) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Farm");
    if (e.charCode==52) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Check2");
    if (e.charCode==53) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Check3");
    if (e.charCode==54) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene2");
    if (e.charCode==55) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene1");

  • Not responsive wireless mouse and keyboard, No internet/wifi and Bluetooth connection.

    Hi,
    I need help as both my wireless mouse and wireless keyboard are totally no responsive and I replaced them with fresh new batteries. My wifi/internet connection is offline too. My Bluetooth signal is the Bluetooth with jagged lines "Bluetooth offline". I tried to disconnect all my USB devices and restarted. I tried the methods listed here but to no avail.
    Yesterday afternoon there was a lightning in the skies and it caused blackout throughout my whole house. So it might be due to the power surge from the Lightning but all my other devices like my iPhone and modem router are working fine. I restarted the router too. It was fine the whole evening till nighttime yesterday. This morning I woke up, I can't do anything at all.

    First thing to try is resetting the PRAM per the instructions below. If that does not work then please use the instructions on how to connect a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard below.

  • Why do I sometimes suddenly lose Bluetooth from my Imac? I use it for my wireless mouse and keyboard. I then can't find it in system preferences but have to shutdown my Mac and hope it comes back

    This is an infuriating problem and wondered if it happens to other people too and if I am doing the right thing by turning the Mac off then on again.

  • Problem with xfce and/or mouse and keyboard

    Hi!
    Two days ago I've turned on my laptop with Arch and the display manager Slim has frozen immediately. Later on Single-User mode I've uninstalled it. Now in normal mode when I type "startxfce4" everything is showing up, but the mouse and keyboard don't work. I know it's not frozen, because animation of mouse and CPU Frequency Monitor is on.
    Strange fact is that laptop is not connecting with the Internet, so now I don't know where the problem is.
    It's happening when I start xfce both from user and super user.
    Just before those troubles I've updated everything with "pacman -Syu", but I haven't seen anything strange. Also the computer could have been roughly turned off (by unplugging power supply), when was turning on.
    Thanks,
    Gaba

    Sorry for not replying, but I didn't have access to my laptop by this time.
    On grub I have only normal mode and 'fallback' mode, so I have result from 'journalctl' from normal mode.
    I'm sending the fragment of this file where you can see everything after I typed 'startxfce4' in console:
    http://codepad.org/8pYIj8qC
    I see that something is wrong, but after some attempts I don't know how to fix this ^^
    Edit:
    Oh, I forgot to write, that I've tried activate some drivers from 'lspci -k' (there were no "Kernel driver in use:..." in almost every device), but it didn't fi anything.
