MacPro Freezes - Mouse Functions - Reboot Required

Need some help. I've been experiencing problems with my pre-2009 Mac Pro for the last 4-6 months. I thought it might have been an OS issue but when I installed the new Snow Leopard, that didnt fix the problem.
My system after being on for minutes to hours (and not all the time) will freeze. I can still move the wired mouse around the screen but the bluetooth keyboard does not function nor can I click on any program in the dock or file menus. It requires me to force quit the Mac and then takes about 2-3 restarts for the system to turn on properly. Sometimes, even the mouse cursor will freeze.
Im running a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon on OS 10.6.1. I have 4GB of memory and running an ATI Radeon X1900XT graphics card. I have (2) 500GB & (2) 750GB hard drives installed with plenty of space. Only my main 500GB drive that holds my applications has 20GB of space left but that shouldnt be causing any problems.
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

I have to disagree with your conclusion that HFS+ is happy to have 4% free space, and who knows how fragmented that is.
Plus, hard drives, and system triple so, don't like or perform well full (more than 70%, ideal is less).
3 yr old X1900. Do you use 3rd party cooler? clean dust bunnies every 3 months? run the fans @ 800 rpm by default?
New drive. Zero drive. Clean install OS. Import files once you confirm it works. REPLACE X1900 with ATI 4870. WD Caviar Black 640GB boot drive. Let us know how that feels. And DO use Disk Warrior - preventative maintenance on weekly basis.

Mouse function of trackpad on 13" macbook pro is no longer working. The trackpad is working fine as I can move the pointer around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. The mouse will physically click, but it will not register.

Hello,
My mouse function of the trackpad is no longer registering clicks. The trackpad seems to be normal as I can scroll the arrow around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. I hooked up a logitech usb wireless mouse, and it works fine, so I am assuming it is a hardware problem. Are there any simple solutions, or will I need to replace the trackpad? Thank you very much.

Conclusion: I had an unresponsive trackpad key in addition to other strange user-interface issues. Although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure.
Detailed history: On 3/2/12 I set off for work with my Macbook Air (first generation) in closed-cover sleep mode. When I opened it and tried to select a menu item, I notice that the mouse-point draws rectangular regions on the desktop. Moreover, though I am able to open menus, I could not select menu items because the click key (on the first generation MBA's they still have trackpad keys) does not work. At this time, I recall that even attaching a mouse did not seem to work. Since I was at work I used another computer to go onto the internet print out Apple's shortcut-key dictionary (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343) that allowed me to navigate and select things without my trackpad. Particularly helpful were the following shortcut keys:
'Control-Function-F2' --selects the Finder menu
'Tab' --allows you to hop to the adjacent menu header
'option-o' --opens selected items
'option-w' --closes an open window
This mouse-less navigation was critical for being able to use the internet when I went home from the office. I then began a little online research about my problem. I found nothing that seemed to fit my particular symptom, although I did glean the usual prescriptive advice about safe-mode startup, disk repair, and resetting the PRAM (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417). Note that I did each of these without consulting the official procedure in the forgoing link.
Without mouse-like navigation, I was unable to run the disk repair from the disk utility because the navigation shortcut keys don't provide a way to select certain unsupported items in the application window that are critical. I did manage to run a disk repair from the command line at startup using the 'fsck -fy' technique described in the apple support doc (see above). This probably enabled a mouse to now work where it wouldn't before--though I can't be sure--for the next day, I took my laptop into the Apple service desk and the technician hooks a mouse up and to my surprise it works though the trackpad is still ineffective. I even reinstall Snow Leopard which takes several hours. None of the forgoing techniques seems to help (except, perhaps the 'fsck -fy' procedure).
So, as mentioned, I take my laptop to the Genius bar to have it looked at. Since the technician had to remove the mouse to insert his testing gear (my MBA has only one USB port) and could not select anything on the apps windows, he concludes it's a mechanical problem. This was after I suggested that he hook up some sort of USB hub to provide the two ports needed to hook up both a mouse and his test equipment--but what do I know. Unfortunately, I passively listen as he describes that the replacement cost will be $180 for a new top panel with trackpad. Or I could just buy a new mouse for $50. I almost sprung for the panel replacement, but thought I might first do a little research online or just try to get by using a mouse from now on. When I got home, I thought it might be good to now run the disk repair, now that I could use a mouse to select the critical buttons needed to initiate the repair. This apparently did some good, as I now found the trackpad more responsive, though still behaving weird. I then proceeded to update my re-installation of Snow Leopard by initiating the Software update mechanism. This required a very large package for my slow DSL internet connection to handle, so I left my computer on overnight to complete this download. Upon startup, the trackpad key was able to select menu items, however when I selected a file, the file icon would stick to the pointer icon. Not good. What else could I do? I decided to run the disk utility one more time. When I did, some serious errors were spotted and I was told to restart the computer using the original installation disk and choose the disk repair utility from the startup disk. The repairs took place and it showed that the repair was successful. When I rebooted from the hard-drive the trackpad key works perfectly! In hindsight, although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure. I will certainly do that first next time I find the trackpad key unresponsive.

Reboot Required informational message is getting old...

I lost my hard drive and had to reinstall Acrobat v7.1.0 Professional. Tech Support was very helpful in getting me what I needed to reload the software.
However, two very irritating things are happening:
1) When accessing a pdf file, I periodically get a message that says Reboot Required: "You must restart system before you can do another update." and,
2) Always upon rebooting, I am taken to the C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Acrobat.com directory, and then nothing. I see no need to go to
this directory.
Tech Support says they no longer support v7.1, just v8 and v9.
Functionally, it seems to work, but after rebooting a half-dozen times, the error keeps stalking me.
Thanks in advance.

First (my only) idea is to verify that you have all Adobe automatic updates OFF
There have been some reports of this "feature" causing problems

Problem with bluetooth mouse setup at startup and no usb mouse functions

Today for the first time ever I got this screen for bluetooth mouse setup at startup. I've never seen this before and have no bluetooth devices. Very weird! It continues to search for a blue tooth mouse and won't let me do anything.The window says "Pairing with your bluetooth mouse.If the mouse is not found, make sure it is discoverable" My generic usb scroll mouse will not function and has always worked fine in the past. I tried plugging in the stock apple usb mouse also and this doesn't function either so there is no way to cancell this out. I've restarted several times and no luck ,can't login and no mouse functions. Just continues to search for a bluetooth mouse . This has me worried as this is recording studio computer and I have a session tomorrow . Any ideas how to get this to bypass this bluetooth window so I can startup and login and get my mouse functions back.
thanks,Craig

Solved it on my end... Hope you're not afraid of using some Unix programming...
I went into Unix mode (start up holding command key and s-key down). black screen with lines of white type pop up. (Means you are now in Unix mode). Give it a few minutes to check all the computer and when it no longer keeps adding any further info on screen type "fsck -fy", that is fsck space minus sign fy and without the quotation marks - exactly as shown inside quotation marks, and hit enter. It will run for several minutes detecting all that makes your computer work... I had in the final lines a message that read "file system modified". If this is the case than re-enter the fsck -fy command. Repeat this until one of the final lines will read "the volume appears to be OK". (I only had to do it twice to get to it). At this stage type "reboot". My mac restarted and I could log in without any sign of the annoying bleutooth mouse message. Hope it will work for you too!

Is server or service reboot required after editing registry in 13568 event

Is server or service reboot required after editing registry in 13568 event .

Hi Below is the event log guiding me to edit registry in order to resolve replication issue, In this case i cant restart the server or even service.I just want to know will this registry edit take effect with out reboot server or service.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13568
Description:
The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.
Replica set name is    : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"
Replica root path is   : "c:\windows\sysvol\domain"
Replica root volume is : "\\.\C:"
A Replica set hits JRNL_WRAP_ERROR when the record that it is trying to read from the NTFS USN journal is not found. This can occur because of one of the following reasons.
[1] Volume "\\.\C:" has been formatted.
[2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted.
[3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal.
[4] File Replication Service was not running on this computer for a long time.
[5] File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO activity on "\\.\C:".
Setting the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1 will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically recover from this error state.
[1] At the first poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be deleted from the replica set. If you do not want to wait 5 minutes, then run "net stop ntfrs" followed by "net start ntfrs" to restart the File Replication Service.
[2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set.
WARNING: During the recovery process data in the replica tree may be unavailable. You should reset the registry parameter described above to 0 to prevent automatic recovery from making the data unexpectedly unavailable if this error condition occurs again.
To change this registry parameter, run regedit.
Click on Start, Run and type regedit.
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Click down the key path:
   "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters"
Double click on the value name
   "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore"
and update the value.
If the value name is not present you may add it with the New->DWORD Value function under the Edit Menu item. Type the value name exactly as shown above.

the blow is the content of the review team email：
We found that your app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently. This behavior is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
We noticed your app declares support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist but does not include features that require persistent location.
It would be appropriate to add features that require persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background or remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. If your application does not require persistent, real-time location updates, we recommend using the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service.
For more information on these options, please see the "Starting the Significant-Change Location Service" and "Monitoring Shape-Based Regions" sections in the Location Awareness Programming Guide.
If you choose to add features that use the Location Background Mode, please include the following battery use disclaimer in your Application Description:
"Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
Additionally, at your earliest opportunity, please review the following question/s and provide as detailed information as you can in response. The more information you can provide upfront, the sooner we can complete your review.
We are unable to access the app in use in "http://www.wayding.com/waydingweb/article/12/139". Please provide us a valid demo video to show your app in use.

Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

Group policy - 'install pending - reboot required'

I have deployed software using GPO - Computer Configuration - Assigned software. This has worked with flying colors for most computers on our domain - all running Windows 7 x86. Only a select few computers have failed to get this software installed.
When I checked RSOP.msc, I get a message that the install is pending and awaiting reboot. These machines have rebooted many times and yet the same message appears on RSOP and the software has yet to actually install.
Where is it getting hung up? Is there some sort of install cache that I can clear on the PC so GPO will try to send the install from scratch?
We have tried several things to try to isolate variables:
Tried gpupdate /force - I am prompted to reboot, and when I do so the software does not install
Checked GP Result - shows that this software install policy was "applied" to the computer, yet it isn't installed
Checked RSOP.msc, I get a message that the install is pending and awaiting reboot - reboots do not resolve this
Added permissions for "everyone" at the distribution point NTFS and share (I doubt it's permissions anyway since installs were successful on most computers before we added more permissions)
Tried adding a Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Group Policy/Startup policy processing wait time - 20 seconds (I tried this after reading this forum question -
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/2a2175bf-132f-46c2-bc5a-4c67932141e2/)
Furthermore, every test I try to manufacture grabs the GPO and installs the software with success. The only machines that fail are machines that aren't easy for me to access as people are using them during the workday.
I have grabbed the event viewer information for a failing PC "WOLF", these events show every time after logon as well:

> TeamViewer 6 MSI PDX failed. The error was : %%1274
Not really an error - more an information. Results from a "gpupdate" and
means "reboot now, please".
> from policy TeamViewer 6 MSI PDX failed. The error was : %%2
File not found. That's odd... May need further investigation.
> before the user logon. The error was : %%1274
See above - reboot required.
You may activate appmgmt debug logging and then post the resulting log
file: In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics,
set AppmgmtDebugLevel (REG_DWORD) to 0x9b and examine
%windir%\debug\usermode\appmgmt.log after the next reboot.
If no other solution, you may try to cleanup the appmgmt history key so
that all SW deployment GPOs will be processed again: Rename
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\AppMgmt and
recreate empty.

MacPro Magic Mouse jumping and crashing

Hi
I bought 3 MacPro. One configure 2.8 and 2 MacPro 2x2.4.

If you searched you should have found you are not alone with that MM/Mac Pro problem. Probably the biggest thread in these forums (22 pages) is this one:
Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
Summary, add your own external antenna or get a USB Bluetooth dongle.
How far are your mice from the mac pro's? Probably more than 3 or 4 feet from the back of the mac pro is about the limit.
Are there any wireless devices nearby (e.g., routers). Sometimes they cause interference.

You coud try smc and pram resets but it probably won't help.

JTextArea with freeze pane functionality

Greetings. I am trying to implement a plain text viewer that has some sort of "freeze pane" functionality (like that found in MS Excel)
I took the approach of using 4 JTextArea and put them into a JScrollPane, its row header, column header and upper-left corner. All these text areas share the same document.
Everything works as expected. When I scroll the lower-right pane, the row and column headers scroll correspondingly. The problem I have is that the document in the lower-right pane now shows duplicate portion of the document that is already showing in the row and column headers.
Knowing that this should merely be a matter of shifting the Viewport on the document, I went through the documentation and java source, and just couldn't find a way to translate the view. SetViewPosition() works to a certain extent, but the scrollbars allow users to scroll back to the origin and reveal the duplicate data, which is undesirable.
Your help with find out a way to relocate the view to the desired location is much appreciated.

Having problem with hp computer freezing up and rebooting? have already updated video drivers

I having problem with HP Slimline Desktop with AMD Vision, freezing up and rebooting, and will sometimes show horiztonal lines across the screen, making screen unreadable. Have had problem for a few weeks, I have already checked with HP tools hard drive and video display both check out, and have I restored the system back to its orginal version by using partion drive and, none seems to help get rid of the freezing and rebooting of PC. Any thought what need to look at?

Can you locate a product number on the system that is freezing??

Do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application

Mouse functions don't work

my mouse functions have stopped working! It doesn't matter what mouse I use - wireless or wired - these are the problems: I cannot click on anything to open or close it. I cannot click on a application on my dock and open it. I cannot drag a file or document on my desktop. I see the cursor moving around the desktop, but it has no effect.
No solution has worked and I've tried many of them.
Help!!

I restarted my laptop, and the buttons worked! For only 2 minutes. Then nada ever again. What a POS. Come on HP, give a solution. I bought and returned it twice, which makes this my third wifi mouse. What a waste of my time. I think I'm just gonna return this mouse and forget the wifi mouse. Functionality is more important than a freed up USB port. I bought it for the forward/backward buttons specifically. HP used to make wonderful products, but this experience bring that into question now.

Keyboard + mouse functions not working

After updating InDesign CC 6-days ago started to have issue with all keyboard + mouse functions not working ex. shift key does not constrain proportions when scaling. A restart fixed the issue thr first time. Today I have installed latest update and shut down and restarted several times does not fix issue. On a MacBook pro running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.

Disconnected extrenal devices ie keyboard and Wacom Bamboo tablet and restarted computer seemed to correct the issue.
