Frozen mouse- I need to keep unplugging the USB?

My wireless mighty mouse was giving me a terrible lag problem- so I switched it out for a wire USB Apple mouse.
The lag is gone but- I now get a frozen arrow several times an hour and the only solution is to unplug the mouse cable from the USB port (direct into Quad)
and re-seat it. Or I unplug an re-seat it from the extension cable.
I tried switching the USB port- but that does not help.
Before I run out and buy a new mouse- is there something that could be causing this?
Thanks.

OK I read through the help section.
I tried most of those.
I have a feeling it's the mouse because I was using an older Apple mouse (the one with the black center) and it worked flawlessly.
I just switched over to the newer, current mouse- (white center) and I have problems.
I'm not even sure why I switched- I wish I just kept the old mouse.

The verification lists my card data and address etc. correctly but I need to keep entering the card security number. Support keep telling me to delete and re-enter my car info which does not help. Anyone else seen this issue? Seems to be something to do

Seems to be something to do with a new security check they have put in the system that does not work correctly and support is totally incapable of helping me out.
wth am i gonna do im feed up and on top i have no one to help me been calling itunes for days now im ****** off to the maxxx

I've been jumping through the hoops with Apple Support on this issue....first time I called they said I should try updating from IOS 4.0 to 4.1....tried that and the issue still persisted...then I called back to update the ticket and get the next steps...they said that the Bank is rejecting the request for verification and that is why it keeps prompting (which doesn't make sense since the confirmation seems to go through successfully). The rep also contacted the iTunes dept and had them run the verify manually and said the bank rejected it. The next hoop they want me to jump through is calling the bank to verify that the account is in good standing and inquire about the rejected requests. I'm fairly certain the bank account is in good standing....will verify of course....but I find it hard to believe that all the people who have posted here, plus countless others that are experiencing the same issue but haven't, are ALL having banking issues in the last 24hrs...I'm more convinced there is a disconnect on the back end between iTunes and Financial institutions...
I'm not sure I buy in to everything I was told...he also told me he has had several calls on this issue and they were all told to check with their banks. He could not verify that any of his past calls were resolved. Needless to say I'm not 100% believing everything he told me....weak response from Apple support on this issue so far.

Do I really need to keep all the preloaded apps that came with my MacbookPro 13'' mid 2010

Do I really need to keep all the preloaded apps that came with my MacbookPro 13'' mid 2010? Which one are necessary to keep from your experience. Thanks

Lots of apps are preloaded on a new MBP. Tell us which ones you don't think you need, and we'll tell you whether you can safely get rid of them.
However, the total space used on your hard drive by all the apps that are preinstalled is very small, and if there's any chance at all that you may eventually want to use them, you might as well keep them handy.
By way of example, my own Applications folder contains everything that came from the factory preinstalled in it, plus 2.5 years of subsequent additions totalling 196 applications of all kinds and sizes. Still, it only occupies 12.5GB of my 500GB hard drive.

I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently,found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod.Does anyone have this problem?

I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently, found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod. Does anyone have this problem?

Some of the Dock connector cables have very small buttons on the rounded adge of the plug, which need to be pushed in to release the plug from the iPod. Look at the picture below, do you notice the "button" on the white connector edge? There's one on the other edge too and they both need to be pressed in to release the "evil looking spike" sticking out of the grey edge.
The shorter plugs (that I've seen) do not have the release mechanism, the plug simply pulls out.

My computer keeps doing the usb sound and freezes

My computer keeps doing the usb plug and unplgu sound, and when it does, the computer freezes. I have tried update all drivers, and run one-key recovery but nothing helps. The system event logs only show one error:
The embedded controller (EC) returned data when none was requested. The BIOS might be trying to access the EC without synchronizing with the operating system. This data will be ignored. No further action is necessary; however, you should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS.
I tried to update BIOS driver and found it was up to date. Does anyone eles have the same problem? It is very frustrating expecially when you are in the middle of a game. Please Help!

I understand what you mean about the sound now. I was thinking of something else. Sorry for the mis-understanding.
Are these errors showing up in the System Event Log happening repeatedly ? If there is just one or two of the same error showing up during the session you are on the computer that maybe normal. As the operating system is working it will occasionally hit a glitch that produces an error in the log, but later in the log you will find where the problem was resolved. The Event Log is never error free. If an error is repeatedly recorded then it is a problem.
You can also look at your Reliability History which might indicate a problem. Go into Control Panel then System Security then Action Center then click on Maintenance and then choose View Relibility History.
If your remembered when the problem started, did you trying doing a System Restore to a date prior to the problem starting ?
You mentioned One Key Recovery. Did the recovery process not correct the problem or did One Key Recovery not work at all ?
Try booting the computer into Safe Mode and see if the problem is happening there.
Also try logging into the computer using another User account. If no other accounts are available then create a new User account to try it. If the other User account is problem free then suspect your original account has corruption.
On my Windows 7 system the sound event for connecting a device like a USB flash drive and disconnecting the flash drive sounds about the same. Also the sound event for a device failing to connect will produce the same sound in my present sound scheme. Try plugging in your keyboard and mouse several times to insure they have a good connection or even try plugging them into another USB port.
Also try another mouse and keyboard if you have them available. Since you are a gamer chances are the mouse and keyboard are well used and might be failing.

i have tried downloading ios7 but my phone keeps showing the usb sign and i tunes sign

That is almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

Unplugging the USB Cable

I'm having problems unpluging the USB from my iPod Nano. The thing just won't budge unless I get lucky.
Is there a little trick to make the calble slide out or am I just not pulling hard enough?

Are you squeezing the sides of the plug, not the long sides the narrow sides? Its like a button on the side that will pull in the little hook like things on the plug.

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
"USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
1. Reinstalled OSX
2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
1. Turn Power off.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
4. Wait 15 seconds.
5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
6. Turn Power back on.
Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

Both usually can be deleted without issue.

Today my M-Audio iControl play button stopped working on my Mac Book Pro after I unplugged the USB cord.

Hello,
Today my M-Audio iContol play button stopped working after I unplugged it from the USB port and then plugged it back in. I have a Mac Book Pro Mac OS X 10.7.3 and I only use it for Garage Band. The iControl will only play a very short snippet of a song then shuts off? (Like a millisecond) My space bar works fine as well as the GB play button using the mouse. I have searched for the GB preference files listed on some blogs but I cannot find them...help please!! One more thing, I plgged the iControl into my other Imac and it works fine so the iControl is ok.
Thanks!

I have searched for the GB preference files listed on some blogs but I cannot find them...help please!!
In MacOS 10.7.3 the User LIbrary is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder "Go" menu:
Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.

I purchased ringtones , i can't find them after unplugging the usb during a update process. How do i get them back ?

During a update process , someone called me. So i unplugged the IPhone 4 to answer it. I put the Iphone back on to the usb and continued syncing and updating. Someone called me again. Instead of hearing my usual ringtone i heard the marimba play. I went to go change my settings to my ringtone that i had but it wasn't their. I tried purchasing the same ringtone but it says that I already purchased it but i can't see it anywhere. Its not on my Itunes either. help! can i claim them back through my apple id?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

My Mac Mini only initialises if I unplug the USB hub

My Mac Mini will was not booting was remaining with a white screen. I discovered that it only completes the boot if I unplug a USB hub that I use. But it was working fine with this same hub connected and this syntom began after I turned it off and disconected all the cables to clean the computer and my desk. When I turned it back on, nothing happened... only a white screen...

I unplugged all devices from the hub, but it didn't solved the problem, so I think maybe the hub is the culprit.
The strange thing is that it was working fine till today. After I unplugged everything from my Mac Mini and then plugged everything again, the problem started.

Why is my iPod touch 4G charging and syncing more than just once even though I'm not unplugging the USB?

Yesterday, I connected my iPod touch to my PC with the USB cable charger for my iPod touch 4th Generation. When I connect it, it will sync and back-up my iPod. Then it would say something like this "Sync Complete OK to disconnect." I didn't disconnect the USB or ANYTHING. After like 3 or 5 minutes, it would just sync and back-up my iPod again.. Then it would keep on doing that and after 4 or 5 times, it would finally stop. But, while I'm using my iPod and it's still charging through my PC, it keeps on making that noise when you connect your iPod to your PC/MAC to charge and when you disconnect your USB charger from your PC/MAC. It just makes that noise constantly.. Then, it will stop after a couple of minutes. This is really frustrating me. If someone could help, I would be glad and it will brighten my day. THANKS.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do i fix a frozen mouse? It is stuck in the top left corner of the screen.

How do I fix a mouse that is frozen in the top left corner of the screen? I have tried rebooting and unplugging but it will not un freeze it.

I didn't even suggest that because I would have thought that would be the first thing anyone would have checked for! If you flip the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse do you have a blinking green light? Whether you do or don't, if you are unsure of the batteries then replace them.

HT1391 Do I need to keep both the Itunes Media and Itunes Music folder in order for Itunes to work? It has eaten my hard drive up.

I have Itunes Music and Itunes Media folders that have almost the same gigs in them, the media is larger. Do I need both of these? I am left with 12 gigs of 500 gig hard drive and it is because of all the music I have. Can I get rid of one of these? And, if so how? I do not want to screw up my Itunes because I love it. Thanks!
