Mouse and keyboard freeze

Hello to the community, I've a newest iMac 27 with pre installed Yosemite system, bought four weeks ago...
On today OSX is started to make me freeze the keyboard and the mouse during normal use.
The only way to save unsaved works is connect via TeamViewer from onother machine and save files, but if I try to restart or logout (as a tips on another thread instead to hit restart) the imac doesn't go to login and stay with a grey screen...so the only way is to shout down with pressed button.
Never happen before got it, right now my imac works fine but today I've this problem with yosemite...and more other minor problems...
Anyone experienced this issue?
ps: I've a wired mouse and logitech mouse, no wireless stuff
Alex

mmmm I don't think Apple phone experts can help me about because Yosemite has a tons of bugs and it's very frustrating.
I have another Mac pro with others bugs.
I Would like so say if others got this issue.
I Noticed there are others topics on crashes and freezes.

How to fix the mouse and keyboard freezing when installing Windows 7 on 27' iMac late 2013?

Hi, I have a question for u guys who can solve this.
I recently bought the new 27' iMac late 2013, and I installed some softwares and used it for few days.
Before I bought this I used the 15' Macbook Pro Retina, I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I used the Windows for gaming.
So back to my question.
So I bought the new iMac and I was tying to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (with the same CD).
After dividing the partition, and other stuff, the iMac rebooted and I hold down the option (alt) key. I choose the Windows CD, and it said it is "getting ready to install Windows". I let it load, and the blue screen where you choose the language, time/location and keyboard input popped up. At the bottom right corner (at the same page), there is a button that said "Next (N)" which u need to click it to go to the next step. I was moving my mouse to click the button, but I realized that my mouse and keyboard was frozen. I tried both wireless and wired mouse and keyboard but they didn't work. There was nothing I could do. I hold the power button, (that was the only option) and tried my mouse and keyboard on Mac OS and it worked fine.
I thought something went wrong in the CD so I bought the Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The result was same. It frizzed again. (I just wast few hundred $)
Latter my friend lend me his Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. I tried it, and it worked, it didn't freezed on Windows 8.
The problem is I played Battlefield 4, Titan fall, and Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4 multiplayer doesn't work on Windows 8.1. Even though when it works on Windows 8, I prefer using Windows 7.
Dose anyone knows how to fix this freezing thing?
My computer is:
27' iMac late 2013 (bought it just few days ago)
I did no upgrades when I bought it, except the graphic card.
I bought the iMac in Korean Apple Store, and my Windows CD is in Korean, can that be a problem?
Please leave a comment when u think u can solve my problem.

See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
Good luck,
Clinton

Mouse and keyboard freezing when first turn on computer

Everytime I fully shut off my computer and turning it back on, my mouse freezes when i press something on my keyboard. Even my keyboard stops working. This problem stops happening after i restart my computer, then my mouse and keyboard starts working. Because of this i keep my computer on all the time so i don't have to keep restarting everytime i start the computer. Is this a normal problem and is there a way to fix this? It tends to get really annoying.

P45-C51 mobo. Mouse and Keyboard freezes frequently. Please Help !!!

Hi everyone. I just bought P45-C51 mobo a week ago. It was working fine then since yesterday and then frequently today I'm facing a real problem. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Whenever I start my computer and it reaches the desktop, after a couple of minutes the mouse and keyboard stops responding but the windows is not hanged as I can simply press the power button and it normally shuts down within 5 to 10 seconds. I checked it both with USB and PS2 version of the keyboard but both seems to freeze. I first thought it was something in windows but i think its something from the bios because when i turned my pc ON and went to the bios then there after 5 minutes the keyboard was frozen but the bios was normal as i could see the seconds change on the system information screen. Can anyone please point me in the right direction what could be the cause of this problem. All the specs are as follows.
Mobo: MSI P45-C51 (MS-7519)
Processor: Core 2 Quad Q8400
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8gb kit 1600Mhz (4x2)
GPU: EVGA GeForce GT 240 DDR3 1GB
PSU: Cooler Master Extreme Power 460 Watt
Casing: Cooler Master Elite 334 Nvidia Edition
HD Primary: WD2500AAKX 250GB
HD Storage: WD10EARS 1TB
Bios Version: 5.7
Cooler: So far none. I'm on air cooling. One CPU fan and two chassis fans.
Temps for CPU are under 40 degrees.
Please help anyone...

Inspect all your USB ports carefully for any visible damage inside the ports itself. Test if a USB device can be inserted smoothly into each one.
As a last resort, remove the MB and test on a non-conducting surface, and remember an anti static bag is not a non-conducting surface.
Have you started your system in safe mode to test the ports ?
Hi Bernhard, Sorry for the late response. This problem was something related to that board physically as I searched and dig inside the motherboard basics in deep I found out that the ICH10 Usb Host Controller was giving me problems or their might actually be some problem with the South Bridge because thats what controls the low power accessories like usb, IDE sata etc... and thats why the keyboard and mouse was hanging. There were some more issue too with that board like Slow boot and resuming from hibernate took about 3 minutes and when I press the power button for the cold power on it usually power on after 3 seconds and some times it happened if i properly shutdown and then again power on it won't turn on (LEDs and fans start but no power on to the system) So i would have to switch off the power supply, disconnect the power cord and then wait 5 minutes and then reconnect and it turn on then.
What i did was go to the shop from where I bought the mobo and told him all the problems and replaced my board with a new one because it was in warranty and bought only eleven days before.
Thanks alot Bernhard for so much your time you spent on helping me on this issue. The new board seems to work great and I can see very significant different in performance and speed.
Two last queries I have if you can help me out. Can you tell me If i can use Cooler Master Hyper n520 Cooler on this board. I have CM Elite 334 Nvidia Edition Casing. And second thing is that the bios of this board 5.1 and the latest is 5.7. Should I care updating the bios version? If yes then do you suggest any hints on how to do this ?
I really appreciate your help you have done so far.

Why is my mouse and keyboard freezing up?

Imac G5 with OSX 10.5.8, and imac G5.2 with 10.6.8
The same problem after transfering my folders from the G5 to the G5.2
I have to keep unpluging the keyboard and pluging it back in again, to free the mouse or keyboard.
I've changed both the mouse and keyboards.
I've done the both the SMC and PRAM resets, permissions fix, and virus searches.
No results.
This is a long discussed problem, has anybody found a fix?
Please lemme know.
Thanks

Pedestrian1980,
Hate to say it but you are either posting on the wrong forum or don't know which Mac you own. This is a Intel based iMac forum, as all G5 iMacs were PPC based that would indicated you are on the wrong forum. If you have an Intel based iMac (click About this Mac and check for the microprocessor) then you are on the correct forum.
You did not indicated if the keyboard or mouse are wired or wireless and if they are Apple or not. However, after determining if you have an Intel based iMac then redo the SMC and PRAM resets at least 3X each back to back and then retest. To be sure you are doing each reset correctly please click

Msi p67a-gd65 mouse and keyboard freeze - blinking caps lock.

As the title says, my mouse and keyboard suddenly froze while I was chatting on Skype and I noticed that my system was still running. In fact, my razer mouse light was also blinking. The caps lock had a sort of sequential blink, although I'm not sure.
Anyway, I had to use the power button to shut down the system and everything seems normal again. Does anyone know what would cause this? Is it a software issue or due to my board?
I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate.

p67a-gd65 motherboard
Intel i7 2600K
2x MSI 6970 graphic cards
Seasonic SS-850HT 850W PSU
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
ADATA S599 system hard drive
ADESSO keyboard and Razer Deathadder mouse
This was the first time this sort of thing has happened. I did have to replace (RMA) my PSU once before due to a random shut down issue but that was resolved. I'm really curious as to why this would happen and I'm hoping it's a software issue and not something related to the USB ports on the board.

Mouse and keyboard freezing

My computer has been running a bit slower lately, and I frequently lose mouse and keyboard control. Mostly happens after closing my laptop, and opening it again later. It will happen sometimes after disconnecting an audio interface while running Mainstage, or Logic Pro.
I run Adobe AE and Illustrator, and Logic Pro often. At first I was only having issues only when running two or more, but now it happens even when not using them.
I restart my computer about once a day because of these issues. Processes will continue normally, but I lose complete control.
I also am having problems with some of my adobe softwares, because of upgrading to Mavericks. I am thinking that I need to do a fresh install, and copy and past all of my documents, and picture files over, and reinstall all of my software. Thoughts?

Why does my mouse and keyboard freeze periodically?

I have a Macbook Pro that I bought at the end of last July. It's been working perfectly until just recently.
For whatever reason, periodically the screen will freeze. I can't move the mouse, and I can't type anything on the screen. It typically unfreezes anywhere between 15-45 seconds later. Things like movies or songs playing don't freeze when this happens, only the keyboard and mouse. Once it unfreezes, it's perfectly fine.
Is there any reason it would be doing this?

I just got my first bluetooth mouse and I've had problems with it disconnecting multiple times per day! I don't understand why! I have a mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.2. I was using a Logitech wireless usb mouse but it would disconnect when teh computer went to sleep and I had to unplug the nano receiver and plug it back in every time for it to work again. So I decided to get a bluetooth mouse to see if I would have better luck with it. Well this is disconnecting a lot! It's so annoying! My new mouse is a gigabyte M7700B notebook bluetooth wireless mouse. There is no software from gigabyte to use with this mouse. It's paired properly.
What can I do to remedy this situation? The only problems I can find online for a bluetooth mouse disconnecting is with the Apple bluetooth mouse. I don't have that so it isn't helping me.
Is this just a problem with the bluetooth in Mac's?? It's been a problem for years as far as I can tell. My mac is relatively new. Help!

Mouse and Keyboard freezing. OS10.6.8

MacBook Pro 2008/9. OS10.6.8. Connected to external monitor, keyboard and mouse. After years of problem-free use the keyboard and mouse have started freezing with increasing frequency. Both keyboards and external and integrated mouse freeze. A few functions still work (e.g. cmd/alt/esc generates Force Quit but it is impossible then to select something to force quit). The up/down keys work and some of the function keys. But it is impossible to select things with the mouse or change between open windows. So the only solution I have found is to hold down the power switch and fully reboot. I can't identify a trigger for the freezing but if I leave the machine for more than 30 minutes it will almost always freeze. So far, only rarely (just once) actually during working. Any help to avoid the reboot (and consequent risk of loss of work) would be very helpful.
Thanks.

Mouse and keyboard freeze under Win 7 Pro Bootcamp on 10.9.1

People,
This is an interesting (if frustrating) issue. I have previously had Windows 7 Pro running wonderfully under ML 10.8.x and I removed the partition when I had no further use for it. Last night I decided to re-install. I am using the wired Apple keyboard and a wired USB Microsoft mouse. I used Bootcamp Assistant as before to create a USB installation while downloading the latest Bootcamp software from Apple.
Windows 7 Pro installs fine, and then reboots. The first time I get to the low resolution Windows desktop everything is also OK. I then install the Bootcamp drivers, allow the installation to complete and reboot.
At this point Windows boots to desktop in appropriate iMac resolution...except the keyboard and mouse do not function. It may well be a USB port issue, as swapping another keyboard and mouse a) doesn't help or b) make the distinctive 'USB device connected' sound.
I may download an older version of the bootcamp drivers and try again.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Regards,
Steve
PS: I'm using the followig hardware

I was able to dowload the support software and paste it over the old support software in the USB Winstall that Bootcamp created before, however the same issue is persisting after I get to the screen to set up windows. I get no response from the mouse and the keyboard. Any suggestions?

Mouse and keyboard freezing up in Mavericks. What do I do?

Since switching to Mavericks, while working in Ableton Live, Adobe Premiere and other programs on my 27" 2013 iMac, my mouse cursor will dissappear and keyboard will cease working, except when I push cmd-option-escape. Pushing that brings them both back. Any insight here?

This is exactly my problem as well, c'mon Apple! Also, when I open Ableton I get a "ReWire requires Open Transport" Warning.. Click through, works for 10-20 minutes then the program stalls and the entire system is frozen.
This is incredibly frustrating! The last time apple upgraded the OS they essentially rendered my audio interface obsolete after YEARS of flawless performance, and now this. Can we please get an OS upgrade that doesn't wipe out our system configurations and render our software unusable? How about less hype and more testing. I pay a healthy premium for Apple products because they tend to "just work".
Hard rebooting my laptop every 20 minutes is not "just working"

MOUSE AND KEYBOARD KEEP FREEZING- Have to constantly unplug to unfreeze!!

Hi There guys,
I have a really annoying problem with my white emac… (made even more annoying by the fact that I just bought it!!)
My mouse and keyboard keep on freezing. I have to constantly pull out the cords from the usb to get it unfrozen. After I do that it starts working but then freezes again.
This happens every 5-10 seconds. I have tried switching the cords in the different usb ports and I have even switched keyboards from my new white keyboard to my old imac black one… The problem still persists!
Does anyone have any answers as to how I can fix this?? It's got progressively worse.
I can’t return the computer because it is not under warranty.
I have downloaded OS X 10.3.9 again recently to try and fix the problem but it is still here.
Please help me!!!
I am soooooo frustrated! Any ideas is much appreciated

My pointer keeps turning into a colorful spinning pinwheel. Mac OS X(10.5.8) using a wireless mouse and keyboard ,desktop computer.

The spinning wait cursor (or "beachball") generally means there's some problem that's causing the current app to freeze, or slowing down the current application, or that's slowing down the whole system.
Here's an overview of the spinning wait cursor.
Make a backup first, using the Disk Utility tool booted from your installation DVD to external storage. This backup to ensure you still have access to your most current and complete data, shut this be a problem with your hardware.
Then use Utilities > Activity Monitor.app and the Utilities > Console.app tools to see what's going on, and whether there are related errors being logged.
There are some general troubleshooting articles around, too.

Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
Yes.
Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
Reseat is also good.
The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
Never an issue.
Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
Want cheaper, try this:

Problem with xfce and/or mouse and keyboard

Hi!
Two days ago I've turned on my laptop with Arch and the display manager Slim has frozen immediately. Later on Single-User mode I've uninstalled it. Now in normal mode when I type "startxfce4" everything is showing up, but the mouse and keyboard don't work. I know it's not frozen, because animation of mouse and CPU Frequency Monitor is on.
Strange fact is that laptop is not connecting with the Internet, so now I don't know where the problem is.
It's happening when I start xfce both from user and super user.
Just before those troubles I've updated everything with "pacman -Syu", but I haven't seen anything strange. Also the computer could have been roughly turned off (by unplugging power supply), when was turning on.
Thanks,
Gaba

Sorry for not replying, but I didn't have access to my laptop by this time.
On grub I have only normal mode and 'fallback' mode, so I have result from 'journalctl' from normal mode.
I'm sending the fragment of this file where you can see everything after I typed 'startxfce4' in console:
http://codepad.org/8pYIj8qC
I see that something is wrong, but after some attempts I don't know how to fix this ^^
Edit:
Oh, I forgot to write, that I've tried activate some drivers from 'lspci -k' (there were no "Kernel driver in use:..." in almost every device), but it didn't fi anything.
