Firewireport on MacBook 1.1 freezes Keyboard and Mouse

Hello,
I haven´t been using the Firewireport on my MacBook for some time now, it always worked without any problems. But yesterday i recognized that the Port doesn´t work anymore, after connecting my DV-Camcorder keyboard and mouse froze immediately. After a "Hard-Restart" i looked in the loogs and fount this:
29.08.12 09:29:13
kernel
FireWire (OHCI) Lucent ID 5811 built-in: handleARxRspInt - ARx Response packet error, status = 0xe00002c7
29.08.12 09:29:14
kernel
FireWire (OHCI) Lucent ID 5811 built-in: handleARxRspInt - ARx Response packet error, status = 0xe00002c7
This is logged as long as a Firewire Device (DV Camcorder, Harddisk....) is connected to the port.
I remember that i installed MacPorts a while ago, but i am not sure if this causes these problems.
Also resetting PRAM and SMC didn´t solve the problem.
Running Apple Hardware Test didn´t show up any problems.
Installed Mac OS X Version is 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
Oh yes, if i Press T while booting and start the Firewire HD Mode then connecting to another Mac will also freeze the MacBook
Has anyone an idea how to find out if it´s a software or hardware problem?
Thanks,

Thank you again OGELTHORPE, the only problem I live far away from an apple store so will be very difficult for me to go.
But I would like to know if other people out there was experiencing the same fault with this macbook pro 2010, I saw in the Internet this two pages with the same problem but no one answer back to the guy:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3703959?start=0&tstart=0
and also this other page on the apple forum:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1317993
But THANKS anyway to reply to me I really appricieted.

  • Starting problems, computer freezes, keyboard and mouse stop working

    Hi can anyone help? My powerbook has just stopped working, rarely starts, when it does keyboard and mouse stop working after a while or even before i am able to login. At one point I was getting a grey screen with the words, memory access invalid???? Please help...
    powerbook G4    

    power surge could have damaged something inside, or it maybe unrelated to the problem.
    PowerBook can get hot if there is some short circuit inside and power flow is disrupted, also it's possible that the fans are not working properly.
    as a guess, it is likely either hard drive or logic board problem.

  • Bluetooth keyboard and mouse disconnect issue

    I have a 20" Aluminium iMac with the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Recently i've started to have some issues where the keyboard keeps disconnecting & reconnecting, also the mouse going slow and jerky. They have been working perfectly fine for the past year but only recently started to play up. I have gone into bluetooth prefs and deleted them and re-connected, this seemed to be a temporary fix but after a while it started again, although not as bad as before. I usually leave my Mac on all the time and just put it in sleep mode, the issue now seems to be waking it from sleep as well. I have tried restarts and re pairing as i said before but nothing seems to be solving the issue. Any ideas or fixes would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I'm experiencing the exact same problem. I have an MacBook with the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I've had them for about a year and they've worked perfectly; this problem has only showed up in the last couple of weeks. I didn't know whether it was a hardware problem or software (perhaps a recent software update), but considering the exact same thing is happening to someone else I'm inclined to think software rather than hardware.
    The keyboard disconnects and reconnects (immediately) a couple of times an hour. It's not such a problem with the keyboard, but whenever that happens, the mouse goes very slow for several minutes, until it finally works out. The mouse doesn't disconnect (I have hardware growl on and am notified of disconnections/connections); it just goes very slow.

  • My keyboard and mouse pad aren't responding

    When I started my Macbook this morning the keyboard and mouse pad didn't respond.
    In my office I use a USB-keyboard and MightyMouse and it seems like the MB still thinks they are plugged in. Now I have attached a different keyboard and mouse but the computer still behaves as if I am using my office keyboard.
    What should I do?
    PS: This happened after I installed the latest update. Could this have something to do with it?

    Try going to System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Trackpad> and toggling (check and then uncheck or the reverse) the option "Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click". I have my system set to safe sleep (hibernatemode 1) instead of the default sleep and the trackpad doesn't appear to load correctly on wake from sleep and the keyboard sometimes fails to respond. Doing the previous appears to reload the trackpad or at least makes it function correctly.
    As for the keyboard functionality, I run my fingers across the rows of keys and within a minute the system recognizes the keyboard. The keyboard failure is rare, that trackpad is constant. this has happened since 10.4.6 and I don't know if it always did or is a regression.
    For the keyboard section you may want to check System Preferences>International>Input Menu and try toggling the keyboard layout.
    If you have a third party driver that may be causing an issue because I'm not sure how a Mac keyboard should work differently from any other keyboard with the right buttons.
    Good Luck,

  • Brand new macbook pro 17" 2.2 ghz core i7 keyboard and mouse freeze

    I just got the macbook pro 17" as a replacement for a broken earlier model.  I ran all the software updates and installed xcode and ran software updates again.  Other than that it's a clean system.  I've literally only had it for hours and was starting to install stuff and the keyboard and mouse completely froze.  The power button worked correctly and got me the options to reboot etc, but since the keyboard didn't work i had to hold down the power button.
    This is going to be a pain because it's probably intermittent.  There was nothing in the system.log to indicate a problem with the keyboard.
    Anyone else been experiencing this with this model?
    Thanks,
    -jim

    See if you can get it exchanged.

  • Keyboard and mouse freeze when trying to play Maplestory

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro and have boot camped Windows XP sp3 onto it.
    I play a game called maplestory, and when I try to play it via boot camp, my keyboard and mouse freeze as soon as all of the intro splashes are done (So, once I get to the log in screen).
    All background programs work fine, however since I can't use my keyboard or mouse I can't do anything. The Apple Remote also doesn't function.
    This problem seems to be exclusive to Maplestory, as games such as Warcraft 3, Diablo 2, Doom3, and Portal all work fine.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

    Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
    Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
    Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
    Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
    I am running Snow leopard.
    I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
    I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
    Thanks

    Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
    The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
    Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
    What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
    I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
    Hope that helps.

  • Keyboard and mouse freeze randomly

    My keyboard and mouse freeze up for 2-4 seconds at seemingly random intervals.  I could go for a couple hours without it happening, or like now, it has happened twice while writing this.  If I'm typing something when it freezes, nothing I type while it's frozen ends up showing up, but if I had hit a key right when it froze, it will repeat itself until I press something else after it unfreezes.  They keyboard and mouse both freeze at the same time, it's not one or the other.  It has nothing to do with standby like the topic below...it can happen right after I boot up or anytime thereafter.
    My hardware is an eMachines M6805 laptop (upgraded to 2GB of RAM) and just a basic Dell USB mouse and keyboard.
    I tried searching the forums, but the search box on here searches the entire web for some reason even if I tell it to search TechNet, so I apologize if this has already been answered.

    I just had my Desktop freeze whilst I was using Media Player minimised to the taskbar.
    I came back to my PC and couldn't use the keyboard or mouse. I plugged in a wired USB mouse and this did not work either. I then used the mouse and keyboard buttons on my MCE remote and still nothing happened, actually something happened as my hard drive
    became very busy, but there was nothing happening on screen. I had to reboot to get back to normal operation.
    I use a Logitech Bluetooth MX500 keyboard and mouse and have been having problems since I had Windows 7, but thought it was the keyboard and mouse at fault. This is the first time that I have encountered this problem, but I have had problems with the keys
    sticking, very annoying when you're in Visual Studio and it goes and deletes a load of code for you because the backspace key was the one that stuck. The cursor also randomly jumps lines occasionally and inserts text where I don't want it. This wouldn't be
    such an issue if I was a touch typist and could look at the screen whilst typing, but I am not and only realise the errors when I have finished typing.
    Anyway, Mine is a custom built PC(all drivers and windows fully up to date) which ran XP with zero problems:
        Gigabyte mboard and graphics card (Nvidia) with I5 processor and 4GB ram.
    If this was a USB hub Powersave issue, then I would still expect the hub to wake up when a new device was pugged in, so I'm going to count that fix out.
    I'm not sure that the freezing was a mouse/keyboard fault, I suspect that this is more a video driver fault as the computer did become very busy doing something when I used the MCE remote, it's just the screen didn't update to show what it was doing.
    I should have looked at the taskbar clock to see if the time had updated, I'll do that next time if it happens again.
    I've disabled the Power Save options for the hub that controls the mouse and keyboard, perhaps this will stop the keys sticking and jumping around when I'm typing in Visual Studio.

  • Macbook pro does not respond to bluetooth keyboard and mouse at login screen

    i've seen this question floating around and i don't think i've found one that has been resolved. i'm hoping someone may have an answer by now.
    i do not have this issue when i boot into windows 7 (bootcamp) the macbook pro responds to keyboard input and mouse input immediately on the windows 7 login screen. when i boot into mac, there is no response from either. i've seen suggestions of waiting for 30 secods. i still get nothing after waiting for over a minute.
    what i do right now is use the built-in touch pad and keyboard of the macbook pro to get past the login screen. once i'm logged in, i can see that the bluetooth devices are not yet connected (the three dots that go across the bluetooth symbol at the top right of the screen are not yet there). then after a while, maybe about half a minute, the bluetooth keyboard and mouse are connected and i can use them normally.
    it is not a big deal but it is very annoying.
    i am using a logitech bluetooth mouse (v740) and an adesso bluetooth keyboard (wkb-4000bm). i also tried an azio bluetooth keyboard and had the same issue. all these keyboards are made for mac.
    thannks in advance.

    just a correction, the keyboard and mouse don't always automatically reconnect once i'm logged in. most of the time i have to go click the bluetooth icon at the top right of my screen, select the mouse and then select "connect". i have to do the same to the keyboard.

  • Keyboard and mouse freeze

    my keyboard and mouse freeze completely/unresponsive sometimes shortly after re-start.  I have to push the on/off button and hold it for the mac to reboot.  How do I find out what is causing this freeze?

    Hello Lucy1949,
    Sounds like the entire system is just locking up. So it's not really your mouse and keyboard, but the system becomes unresponsive.
    Make sure your anti virus programs are up to date and you have ran a virus scan lately.
    Put your computer into a clean boot state and see if the problem still happens with minimal programs running.
    You should also check to see if the problem reoccurs while in safe mode.
    You can find instructions for both of those in this forum thread.

  • Keyboard and mouse freeze imac

    Mouse and keyboard freeze multiple times a day.
    Forcing a restart is the only way to access computer when they do.
    They will work for a while after restart and do it again.
    Batteries replaced in keyboard and mouse.
    Mouse even switched with wired mouse, both wireless mouse and wired freeze when keyboard does.

    Check your batteries in the wireless hardware.
    For the wired hardware see KB Article & do the necessary:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

  • My third party keyboard and mouse won't connect to my MacBook Pro

    I recently purchased an Insignia keyboard and mouse combo. I'm trying to connect them to my MacBook Pro and they refuse to respond. On the box and online it said that this combo was Mac compatible. I am running OSX 10.9.4.

    Sorry i should have mentioned that; i already have installed the drivers. I have the little boot camp console thingy and the display became to the right resolution after installing the drivers, so i know i have. Its something else, Windows based i think.

  • Macbook Pro Keyboard and Mouse Unresponsive

    I have a 2007 Macbook Pro that has been working wonderfully for several years. This evening, I restarted the computer for the first time in a couple days, and when reaching the login screen my keyboard and mouse were no longer working.
    I forced a restart several times with the power button, but nothing changes. I am able to boot into safe mode using the shift key during startup, but even in safe mode the keyboard and mouse don't work.
    Additionally, I can boot into my Windows Bootcamp installation by holding down the alt key during startup and the keyboard and mouse work fine there.
    So clearly this is a software issue. Is it possible that my OSX installation got some sort of bug that is causing this? Is it possible to run the System Update for previously installed updates without access to the keyboard and mouse, and without being able to get past the login screen?
    Unfortunately, external keyboards and mice don't work either, and everything works when booted into Windows

    After reading several forums it is evident that there are problems with mouse and trackpad on OS 10.6, particularly the most recent updates. I find, for example, I could not rename folders or files using the trackpad but had to go to GET INFO and change names there. With a mouse the renaming of files and folders works fine. However, I just purchased a Logitech wireless mouse and if the computer goes into sleep mode when you wake it selection of menu items or windows becomes impossible. All one can do is force quit applications or do a forced restart. I'm trying different things. At first I had the mouse on a USB hub. I'm now going direct to the USB port. I've also shut off Bluetooth, since I noticed someone recommended that. Also, I'm not sure if it is the battery life on the mouse that can cause the problem, i.e. the battery running low quickly. If anyone else has any ideas please post or tell Apple to get off their behind and straighter this stuff out.
