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.

MBP santarosa - 2.2ghz
bootcamp Vista
same problem !! the mouse and keyboard of my mbp freeze immediatly after the loading of the nprotect GameGuard: the antihack system of many game.
Actually i play Lineage 2, Rakion and MAPLE STORY ... all of them have this gameguard...
I tried VWWARE Fusion, same problem in the virtual machine,
I tried with parallels... no work
I tried with external mouse/keyboard. no luck
I think this is not a isolated case, please help us.
ps. Dont ask me to play WOW, i know WOW is the only decent mmorpg who work with mac
Dont tell me this is a problem of nprotect company !! i dont think so

IMac OS X (10.5) Black screen,chimes when switched on,light on keyboard and mouse. Have tried few tips to restar it. Still black. What could it be?

Try to start up in Safe Mode. It uses a "one size fits all" display mode, runs one pass of Disk Utility "Repair Disk" as it starts up, then loads with minimal extensions and presents a login screen (even if you normally auto-login). It takes five minutes or more.
If you get a picture, use System Preferences > Displays ... to change your screen resolution at least once.

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.

Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

Does this happen with any song or video you play? If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

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

Keyboard and Mouse Freeze On Login Screen

Hey there,
after just turning on my macbook pro 10.5.6 i am not able to use the keyboard nor the mouse to login, they are like froze, however the system is not. the writing cursor blinks in the password field, and the only button that works is the power button which i can press but cant use the keyboard to navigate, so i have to force shutdown. i can use keyboard to get into safe mode, where the same issue is found. and when i boot into single user mode, i am not able to use the keyboard. i also have tried attaching external keyboard and mouse, also no luck. However when i boot from the mac recovery discs, i am able to use both keyboard and mouse. Please if anyone can help me, i dont want to lose my information due to a restore. Thank You So Much Merry Christmas And Happy New Year!

lol sorry about that.
ok here is what i tried:
1) using the recovery disks to repair disk and permissions.
2) remove battery, press power button for 5 seconds and returning battery (weird, i read it on google)
3) long press power button
4) resetting the pram
5) tried attaching external keyboard and mouse
6) tried to enter single user mode however keyboard does not work in it to try some commands, also tried external keyboard, same result

Keyboard and trackpad freeze when left idle after installing hard drive

Installed a Samsung HM640jj hard drive in my Macbook Pro. Since then the keyboard and trackpad freeze if not in use. As long as I keep scrolling around on the pad everything works fine but as soon as I stop they both freeze. On startup the freezes only last a few seconds but the longer my mac is on the longer the freezes last. I've tried a lot of tricks from other posts but no luck. Not sure if its a glitch with the drive or if I should wipe it and reinstall from OS disk to see if that works. Any ideas? Thanks

Any chance that something was damaged or loosened while you were replacing the drive?
What other tricks have you tried? Did you reset the PRAM and/or SMC?

Keyboard and Mouse Disconnect when computer hibernates

Everytime I get back to my computer, i have to hard reboot to get keyboard and mouse to connect??? Just started happening after years of use.

Hi RedTruckMan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If it seems like your keyboard and mouse are not staying paired to your iMac, first try resetting the NVRAM and System Management Controller:
About NVRAM and PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

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.

BT keyboard and mouse freeze one or two times a day

New iMac, started freezing up about once or twice a day after a couple of weeks. Took a few occurrences to realise it was a KB/mouse problem rather than the computer itself. looking at forum posts it seems to be a common problem, though not often both devices at once. Powering the Mac off and then on again fixes the problem every time. Battery strength is good on both devices.
As suggested in several posts, I've tried removing the BT .plist file and rebooting. Assistant took some time to relocate the KB and mouse but managed eventually. However problem still recurring.
Next time it froze, plugged in a Logitech mouse which worked ok and the BT mouse started working immediately too (why would it do that?), but not the keyboard. BT Preferences say both devices connected, and paired and discoverable. Tried to run Set Up, says 'not found' (for mouse also, even though it's working). Turning the Mac off and on again restored normality.
Hung again twice today already. Following another post advice, I've removed Bluetooth from the Networking list (although it wasn't connected to anything). But it's just hung again while i was typing this (at least powering off then on again doesn't lose any data)
I'm new to Macs, so please excuse my descriptions of the problem being more anecdotal than technical. If anyone can suggest a logical course of action to resolve this problem, I'd be grateful.

I spent some time around to read all posts here and there.
I've got a brand new 20" imac with BT mighty mouse & a wired keyboard
My mouse used to freeze once or twice a day.
I used to type ctrl & space bar to open spotlight, type "bt" to get acces to bt panel in pref system, which was enough to reconnect.
I found two issues when reading things in forums:
Some people are facing a hardware issue with the metallic part behind the mouse cover being too folded to make a proper contact
Some other, like me, are facing a software issue. The problem appeared juste before 10,5,6 release, with an airport package.
I downloaded on apple website an older airport package and installed this:
airport utility.app 5.3.2 (instead of 5.4.1)
airport base station agent.app 1.5 (instead of 1.5.1)
com.apple.airportbasestationagent.plist dated 29may2008
These files are to be found there:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortUtility_5_3_2_forLeopard
And you'll need "pacifist" shareware to be allowed to install older versions
A bit complicate, but 3 days now and I didn't have any freezing!

Problem Please Help - Itunes freezes when trying to play a tv show/movie

The other day I downloaded a couple movies I had rented. Something I had not done before on itunes. The three movies downloaded with no problems and then when I was on my flight I tried to start one of them. Itunes went black as if to start playing and then froze. I disregarded it at the time thinking it was just my computer being buggy. Which was odd because I hadn't an issue with itunes really. However since those downloads I cannot play anything I downloaded. The moment I try Itunes goes black as if to play and just freezes. I have now lost money in this because I was unable to watch that one rental, and am now trying to watch tv series that have already paid for but am having no luck. So what do I do? I've reinstalled several times, I've tried the little fixes that they suggest online but nothing is working! Also if you can tell me how to contact someone that would be a great help too because this just isn't working.

I have the same problem. I purchased several episodes of a television program and they will not play either in iTunes or in Quicktime without stuttering, jerky video, choppy audio, and the video and audio being out of sync. As a new iTunes user, this experience has completely soured me and unless I find a solution.
I have absolutely no problem with playing video from any other source through any other player. I can stream videos fine from Amazon, YouTube, and everything in between, and videos downloaded from Amazon and elsewhere play just fine whether I'm using VLC, RealPlayer, or WMP. DVDs also play with absolutely no trouble whatsoever. It is only iTunes videos that have any trouble.
I have already consulted the page that was suggested here (and on other threads I've read), and nothing on that page was useful. (Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718)
This is extremely frustrating. I have Win7 Premium with 4 GB RAM and an AMD dual core 1.65 GHz processor. It may not be the ultimate gaming machine, but it's performed really well up until it encountered iTunes.
I also tried using QuickTime, thinking that might work better, so I downloaded the most up-to-date version, and playback was marginally better but still unwatchable.
Considering that this is paid content, it is unacceptable that it cannot be played on my computer -- and I have watched trailers for the episodes on YouTube (it's newly released), and they play perfectly, so I know it's not the episodes themselves.
Is there a codec that I should install? Is there any fix at all for this issue?
It seems that a large number of people experience this, which means that a lot of people are paying for something and then getting nothing -- and it's not a problem that can be discovered before the content is purchased. This is a very frustrating situation!

ITunes 9 freezes when trying to play movie

G'Day Experts !
Was wondering if anyone can tell me why iTunes 9.03.15 (the latest software) freezes up on WinXP SP3
Have looked through the knowledge base, have done the reinstalls, created a new Apple account, disabled antivirus... nada.
This is on a new hard disc and a new system that has not run iTunes before. Have never seen this problem.
Thanks!
Rob

Itunes 9.03.15
itunes freezes when I play a movie/tvshow. I have to "end task" then re-start Itunes. The movie doesn't play at all. This happened after I downloaded two movies for rental and tried to move them to an older model Ipod video 30GB. The move didn't work so I tried to synch the ipod with no success. Gave up trying to move the movie and tried to watch it on my computer screen and it does not play. This is irrating because now my movie is going to expire in a few hours and I haven't been able to watch it.

Ipod 5gen freezes when trying to play video

My son has a 5th gen 60gb ipod that freezes as soon as he tries to play video on it. This started happening after he installed the latest firmware upgrade. We have deleted the videos, tried reinstalling the latest firmware, reinstalled any number of converted videos, and every time we try it, it freezes up solid. We end up having to use the standard "menu-center button" restart procedure to unfreeze it. Any ideas how to get it to play videos with out completely wiping his ipod clean and starting over with everything?

My problem is similar. My 80G freezes playing video that I converted. These videos used to play just fine. This all started after an upgrade in Dec 07 I think. I have an iphone and the videos play fine and we kjust purchased a 160G and all the videos play perfectly. A huge bummer with the 160G though is that most of the accessories we purchased for the 5th gen don't work with the new classics (ie: Phillips portable DVD/ipod player) - Why did Apple do that?
