FROZEN TRACK-MOUSE

every so often my MBP trackpad Mouse just freezes up & I can't do anything, the only way I can get going again is to completely shutdown then restart.
Is there a solution to this??
Thanks in advance for any & all help.

I had the same problem and it was due to the already documented battery problem that starts to expand and puts pressure on the trackpad, so verify the state of your battery and remove it to see if the problem goes away, also if the battery is faulty use the free replacement policy that apple issued for this type of problem

What is a "Frozen" Track?

Working in a Project, multiple Tracks mostly Real Instrument, copying and moving Regions between Tracks using option/drag and sometimes get a "Track is Frozen" message box.
So I click Cancel and the box closes and the Region move has been done. This is not the "Track is Locked" message - although all the Tracks were previously Locked and unLocked more than once. And they are definitely unlocked when this happens.
It only happens on some Tracks and I don't know what difference between them may cause this (unless, maybe it was the use of Automation points, but I don't think so. I'll have to double-check that).
So no real problem, I hope, right? but what is a Frozen Track (as opposed to a Locked Track)?

Hm - I can move regions with volume curves around without getting any warning messages.
By the way, I discovered something that I hadn't known before: If you have locked the curves, copy and paste will create a new region without a curve, while alt-dragging it will copy the volume curve too.

My macbook pro is frozen, the mouse moves, but it will not click. I have restarted and it is still the same... Can anyone help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How do I right click on my track mouse?

How do I execute a right click on my MacBook Pro track mouse?

Tap on the surface with 2 fingers.
Have you switched all of the options that you want to use on?
In System Preferences>Trackpad.

Frozen tracks go silent when opening a song

It often happens that when I open a song I've been working on one or more frozen tracks will not play, they are silent. I fix it by re-freezing the tracks. Can this be fixed?

no the master volume curve is off and i have played each track as solo and they all go silent at 2:34
I hate to think but I m assuming when it got stuck opening that day it probably got to 2:34 and then when i forced quit it erased everything after
but the wave patterns are still there???
i have tried unlocking all the rtacks then relocking...but to no avail
grrrr...frustrating
(ironically the song itself is called "frustration"..maybe this is some divine sign)

Cutting measures when you have frozen tracks

I have a very, very large piece, and I have frozen many tracks so that I can continue to work on it without crashing or running out of memory. I tried to cut one bar, but the frozen tracks weren't affected. I don't want to UNfreeze everything, because the computer will be overloaded. Is there a way around this?
The one work around is to bounce the arrangement, and just edit the resulting, single audio track, but then I have to bounce and cut each time I make a change to the arrangement.
Advice?

The only solution I can think of is to unfreeze everything, make your edit, then refreeze again before playback. It's inconvenient, sure, but the point of freeze tracks is to let you accomplish a bit more than your computer would ordinarily be capable of. So unfortunately this means you have to do a little extra work in situations like this to be able to make use of freeze tracks.

Tracking Mouse X,Y w/o mouseListener

I am writing a program where you draw with a paintbrush, you begin a stroke by clicking, you end a stroke by releasing. This was easily taken care of by a simple mouseListener. However I want to track everywhere the mouse goes while the mouse is clicking. This way you could draw squigley lines and things with curves rather than just a straight line connecting click location with release location. Unfortunately I have no clue how to get a mouse's X,Y coordinates besides a mouseEvent. Obviously that can't be called without clicking or releasing so I need some help finding out what to do.

Keyboard Issues Intermittent Use of Keys & Tracker Mouse

Hello All,
Look forward to some help please.
Not sure what is wrong, seems there are a number of weridy things going on. Nothing dramatic, but all very annoying.
About a month ago replaced the HD myself, re-installed, everything seemed fine. Then had the following problems.
1 - 'U, J, M' keys stopped working. After PRAM zap were ok.
2 - At a later date the directional 'up & right' keys and the 'Return' stopped working, no explanation just sometimes works with a restart or a complete power down and reboot.
3 - Tracker pad stops working completely then plug in a PC USB mouse and might start working again, might not.
4 - Screen goes black and I have to press the power button to get the machine up again. This is with the power cable plugged in and power on.
I appreciate this machine is oldish but these are strange enough problems, with no consistent reasons for happening that I can think of.
Lastly I got the following message when it went completely south on me.
I'd appreciate any help possible, other forums have not been able to even post a response. Many thanks again.
This morning I had points 2 & 4 happening and had to power down reboot.
Mike

Mike:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your, apparently, random keyboard issues may be due to either faulty connection of the keyboard ribbon cable to the logic board, or a defective/damaged ribbon cable. I suggest you go back in and make sure the connection of the ribbon cable to the logic board is secure. If necessary place a new piece of kapton tape on it to secure it.
I further suggest that you boot the computer from the Apple Hardware Test disk that came with your computer, and run the extended tests in a loop (hold down Ctrl + L during tests) and let is run for a while, as intermittent issues may take up to several hours to show up.

Track/Mouse Pad Issue

My MacBook has been sitting on my desk for two days....suddenly, the only way I can do a "mouse click" is by tapping the track pad, not by pushing the lower left or right corners. The pad itself at the bottom where the push click would be is actually (for lack of better word) lower than the top and I can no longer actually "click" when I push the lower corners.
So, two questions...
1.) Is this a common problem?
2.) Is this fixable or am I stuck with a wireless mouse for the rest of the computer's life?

Hi and welcome to Apple discussions,
Is your Macbook one with a removable battery. If it is take the battery out and run it from the mains. Does the track pad work OK now. If it does it probably means that the battery has become distorted or swollen and is affecting the trackpad.
It may be time to get a new battery.
Regards from England,

Track mouse position in Bookmark window.

When the cursor moves to a bookmark window, it underlines the bookmark title and shape of the cursor also changes(say finger shape).
Is there any callback function/some other way to track the change in cursor position when it is in Bookmark window,(means when it is moved to that window and moves over a bookmark) please tell me.
thank you,
palaksha

No, there are no provided APIs to give you that level of information.

Tracking mouse over 3d member

please, i `m trying show information beside to mouse pointer
in a effect of roll over, bad a haved a promblem with overlaping of
sprites, the text sprite aways appear back to 3d sprite, and i need
that the text apear over the 3d members trackin the mouse
moviment.

You might have the 3D sprite DirectToStage property set for
better
rendering speed, the DirectToStage (DTS) property of the 3D
member must
be uchecked to enable other sprites to float above it (lingo
can toggle
this on te fly)
An alternative is to make the text an objectt within the 3D
model.

Pencil mouse as opposed to track mouse?

I have been having a lot of problems with stressed muscles due to the use of my regular mouse. i am in the market for a new mouse. I was wondering if anyone has used the pencil mouse and what you think about it?

There are some reviews about the few pen-like mouse products available, online.
Ones I'd noticed were from a year or two ago, hard to say if they were a hit or not.
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=stylus+mouse
Some time ago, I had a rollerball that did OK, it was like a 'billiard ball' though.
At least it did not run out of desktop space and never ran into anything nearby.
For persons who get tired fingers from writing by hand (remember that?) these
stylus mouse pen mouse products could still lead to that kind of effect, even if
you don't mind writing with a large marking pen effect; or a giant kids crayon.
One of the cordless wireless pen mouse products had a customer followup review
and they suggested buying a big box of batteries (AAs) as it used a battery a week.
They did not allude to the kind or type of battery recommended, as there are some
that should last longer than a week; but they cost more. The unit in question did not
appear to use re-chargeable batteries; but they may if correct voltage is available.
And then, there are styli and tablet models; these are generally finer than pen mouse
and may be an alternative to a mouse, to give your hands a break, if it'd work for you.
Perhaps a step above an iPad and a finger, for freehand, with less of a crayon effect.
There are a few items I'd noticed in the search result link above; Genius Pen mouse,
the G-stick mouse, and others that are either stylus/tablet or a styli for iPad, etc. I'd
seen some good things done with the tablet idea, mostly detailed quality renderings.
Hopefully you can find something from somewhare that has a fair return policy so you
can give it a few days test drive. Or a few hundred hours with some gallons of coffee.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Frozen wireless mouse

Hi. My Mac Pro will not recognise my wireless mouse. The cursor is stuck up in the top left hand corner. I can login to my Mac using the keyboard but my keyboard will not allow me to arrow or tab to System Preferences (where I might be able to sort this out?). I can arrow up and down my folder columns in Finder, but not able to get to Devices/Places etc.
I have shutdown and changed batteries, but nothing. The mouse does work because i currently have it wired to my Macbook Pro to type this message.... any ideas?
Thanks

Hi-
What mouse are we dealing with?
Have you tried another USB port on the tower for the receiver?

Frozen track ball on Blackberry Style

Have tried rebooting 3 times but the screen is still frozen w/a message "Application permission" to allow or deny. This happened after an "upgrade" through Blackberry apps to Facebook. Short of taking this into my provider, Sprint, for a cleaning, is there anything that can be done? Very disappointed. Don't have the time to wait around for an hour while this is happening.
