Mouse and Lion problems

Not sure it is the mouse's fault, but both on my MacBookPro and iMac (with Lion downloaded 3 weeks ago) after a long pause, instead of the pointer, my mouse triggers a smear and I cannot get anywhere until I enter the admin password again. Has anyone encountered the problem and what can be done about it. Claude

Mouse and keyboard problem after updating to Mountain Lion

Hi!
This is the strangest problem I got on a Mac for 20 years...
I work on a Macpro 3,1. I upgraded my 10.7.5 os to 10.8.5 (needed it to use GTX 680 card).
The upgrade went fine and then... The mouse and the keyboard don't react.
After resetting the SMC they began to react but the mouse is deadly erratic and the keyboard repeats few time each key (impossible to write), for instance I hit n and got nnnnnn.
Resetting PRam does not help. Redoing the os update did not help.
This is really bad cause I can't use my Mac at all right now. I think I'll do a Fresh lion install and move my data back to it before I find something for that Mountain.
Its a real pain, does someone have an idea?
Thank you,
Milosz

Hi!
For those interested, I found the solution reading others forums.
Here it is:
I had to remove my optional old apple airport card (atheros a/b/g) and everything works fine now.
Hopefully I don't wifi on that Mac, otherwise I would need to buy another one. Which one? I don't know.
Too bad Mountain Lion isn't supporting anymore that apple card…
Have a nice day

Help Please Software/Hardware Mouse And Keyboard problem.

I have a Corsair Vengeance and a Razr Black widow keyboard and the problem is that when i right click it wont let me select any options, it will flicker violently only when i move the mouse and im getting strange yellow highlight boxes whenever i drag
the left mouse button(ex Volume Sliders). The keyboard will only bring up shortcuts and the start button on my keyboard will open narrater settings. Ive noticed that it only happens when my computer falls asleep and when i turn it back on the problem will
start. Ive just installed advanced system care and ive done he maintanence. Can that be the problem? Ive already uninstalled it but the problem keeps happening.

Try reinstalling the driver http://www.razerzone.com/au-en/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-blackwidow/
Also run a "sfc /scannow" from the command prompt
Also in advanced power management setting disable the USB power saving options (think its called USB hybrid power saving)

Ps2 mouse and usb problems

sometimes when using my logitech cordless mouse on the ps2 port it will lock up, i have to unplug it and put it on the usb port instead to get it to work.
other times it stops working on usb.
a freind with the same board has the same problems with his typhoon cordless mouse.
any ideas ???

Same problem here with my Destop Optical Cordless from Logitech (Keyboard + mouse)
I must admit I changed MB and installed my actual 875P Neo FISR without reinstalling windows XP, I just made a repair install to detect new hardware since XP refused to boot when I changed MB.
Then, on a basis of 1/2, when I reboot the system, my cordless PS2 mouse wasn't detected, and this is really 1 windows start on 2.
I just unplugged the PS2 connection of the receiver, including the keyboard and mouse, and used the single followed USB cable (part of keyboard cable) to plug the wireless receiver. Now my mouse and keyboard work perfectly through a single USB connection for both.
I thought it was maybe not enough power delivered to the wireless receiver through the PS/2 port
If your problem persists on USB, it's clear the explanation is elsewhere

Hard drive and Lion problems

Since trying to do the Lion update on Weds my iMac has been playing up, basically when i going into disk utility and run "verify disk" i get error messages telling me to insert my OS X install cd so that i can repair the hard drive, i do this and when i try to repair the hard drive it tells me it cannot do it and that i need to wipe the hard drive and re install OS X form the cd. Ive done that twice since Weds and both times after ive installed the OS and then run disk verify it comes up telling me the same massages as before. The iMac was bought in March, ive looked after it so i cant see how there are problems. Its still under 1 year guarantee so do i take it back and get a replacement? Also when installer lion it tells me it something to do with 'no recovery' can anyone help me with this im fairly new to mac so keep it easy for me

Did you upgrade to Lion? If so, repair your internal HD from the Recovery HD. See Using the Recovery HD. (but you may not have one, because of the other message.)
If you're still on Snow Leopard, and Disk Utility can't repair the file system, it's possible a 3rd-party Disk Repair app like DiskWarrior, can. It's about $100, though, and there's no guarantee.
Another option, if you have backups (you should, you know): erase the drive and restore them.
The "no recovery" problem is likely because of the problem on your internal HD. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649?viewlocale=en_US

Magic mouse and Lion

I have upgraded my desktop to OSX 10.7.3 Lion and have just bought a magic mouse. It is very unstable and the cursor is all over the place and unuseable. Anyone any ideas ? Giff

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. If that does not help, take the mouse back for a warranty replacement.

Blue screen, flickering, unresponsive mouse and desktop, problems reinstal

For a while now my Imac has been playing up, one day I turned it on and it went to a blue screen, this had never happened before and obviously as all newbies to macs I kind of freaked out but hoped it would just 'go away' but for a few months now it always goes to the blue screen before properly starting up, sometimes it will just crash at the grey apple icon with the little wheel stopping.
My mac has become very slow, opening small applications such as Skype would send it into a melt down, making the whole display look really strange, then it started flickering, grey vertical lines across the screen. Overtime this stopped and only happened occasionally, however recently after my mac has powered on, the desktop/finder would be unresponsive, the mouse would track but I could not click on ANYTHING, I'm even unable to force quit or relaunch the finder. I had to force restart the mac numerous times in the hope it would just work, however it didnt.
I decided my only option was to erase and reinstall mac os x, seriously it took me about, 10 hours to try and do this, non stop!! it would hang at 12% and then not do anything for hours, I again, had to force restart the mac, then it would say it could not be installed as the start up disk wasn't recognised, which I will add in now that for MONTHS I have not been able to select the macintosh HD as my start up disk, always says something about the bless tool being unable to select it :S
Anyway, it finally worked, the reinstalling, however it reinstalled, I logged in and then, again, the mouse or the finder became unresponsive!! I thought erasing and reinstalling would have fixed this!
Its finally working now, however I'm not sure for how long, it still has the blue screen when starting up which I hoped would also be fixed, and I am still unable to change the start up disk, I have tried resetting the PRAM, and run numerous disk utility tests which always come back saying the mac is fine.
I'm not very smart when it comes to macs and how to sort them out, I have apple care and wondered whether I should just take it in store and ask them to take a look at it, or if there is anything else I could possibly do to try and fix this myself?!
Any help please!

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
for MONTHS I have not been able to select the macintosh HD as my start up disk, always says something about the bless tool being unable to select it :S
In future, when bad things start happening, investigate. They rarely get better by themselves.

That sounds like hardware problems, most likely the internal HD. Try running this: [Apple Hardware Test: iMac (Mid 2007) and later models|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1883]. Run the Extended tests.
and/or the (free) Rember, a heavy-duty memory tester, from: http://www.kelleycomputing.net/
If either show errors, yes, you'll need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
If not, try Verifying your internal HD, per #6 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).
Then +*Repair Permissions+* on it, per #5 there.
Do you have backups?

Mouse and memory problems (975X Pl pe)

First Hello,
this is my first post here, hope you can help me
PC configuration in my signature
OK. Here goes
1.   And most annoying problem – mouse problem (A4tech NB-90 mouse, connected to usb)
Mouse stops working, randomly (maybe once every month). It’s happening when booting windows. Mouse doesn’t work, actually all the led’s are blinking but it’s not recognized by windows. Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn’t work (nothing happens). Rebooting windows doesn’t help (still not working).
Solution to my problems is to shutdown the computer and disconnect the power cable from my PC, then reconnect it again and start the PC all over again. NOW it’s working!! WT ?
I tested mouse (3 months) on the other pc and it works OK there, so he is not the problem.
o yea, I formated hdd, and installed fresh windows and still no luck.
2.   Memory problem on 800MHz – I think this is because of incompatibility with motherboard or too weak psu
By default (motherboard)memory works on 667MHz. (and with this setup everything is fine)
The problem starts when I put it on 800MHz in bios – than system becomes instable (random reboots)
a.   Memory tested with memtest at 667MHz (both and than separate modules, 4 hours each test) -> NO ERRORS
b.   Memory tested with memtest at 800MHz (both and than separate modules) -> Never saw so much errors in my life :(
I doubt I’ll solve this problem (except buying new memory modules), but you guys know more than me so I’ll let you decide.
and yeah, sorry for my bad English!
Thanks
Bas
edit: memory problem solved. Patriot @ 800MHz needs 2.0V

Mouse and Finder problems with Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have a weird problem, after a time the mouse will start skipping and the finder becomes very slow to respond, whether it a program is calling up a dialog box, or I go to the apple menu to select "system preferences" or I double click on a HD, it is slooooooow.
Funny thing is that after a reboot, all is well until it isn't, and it progresses, the mouse will skip a bit then more then the finder gets slow and then slower etc... there is no consistency to the duration of onset of problems, and it doesn't matter if I open no programs or 6.
Also, I have removed all preference panes that aren't Apple's and rebuilt the permissions and did a couple of FSCKs (disk appeared to be fine in all cases) I have over 40% free on my start up drive and as you can see below I have 10gigs of ram.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

looking at the system.log in the profiler now, there is a problem, a version of snapz pro and eyeTV (the latter I had sussed out from the console application, odd that the system.log in the profiler didn't mention eyeconnect and the console didn't mention snapz)... I just upgraded both to the latest versions that are supposed to be snow compliant, but only time will tell if this fixed the problem.
thanks

Problem with Huawei Webstick and lion, Problem with Huawei Webstick and lion

My webstick Huawei has stopped functioning ever since I have uploaded Mountain Lion. Any suggestions

Upload means putting software from your computer back up to the server.
Download means getting software off a server and putting it on your computer.
As for Huawei, it appears the last software they wrote was for 10.6 that I can find. I would contact them and ask if they have made any updates for 10.7 or later. Software written for 10.6 frequently may address Rosetta which is no longer available in 10.7 or later.
I would also ask them how to remove any of their software, as many such devices are capable of being read by the built-in USB drivers of the Mac, if they are connected via USB.
If you can find the model#, check the support for the specific model # on their website.

ThinkPad S230u Trackpoint mouse and touchpad problems.

My Tackpoint keeps pulling mouse random directions slowly random times... (Same bug that my older X61 Thinkpad)
Can that be caused by static charge or something??
And Touchpad... How i can turn it off??
Is that button really missing??
I mean "Disable Touchpad" button with FN shortcut

Hi Finlander,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m really sorry to hear that you are having trouble with Touchpad and TrackPoint in your Lenovo S230u.
I would recommend you to update the Ultranav Driver to the latest version and check.
In order to disable the touchpad, go to Control Panel -> Mouse -> Ultrnav -> Uncheck Enable Touchpad checkbox ->OK.
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Mouse (and keyboard) lag! help?

I did a clean install of ML a week ago. After a few days mouse lag began to become a serious issue. The cursor jitters instead of moving smoothly; it freezes until a large side-to-side movement wakes it up; it disappears entirely. A truly irritating situation and VERY bad for productivity.
At first I blamed the wireless mouse (the latest model Apple mouse) and/or its battery charge. A fresh charge did no good. I'm now using a wired USB mouse and the problem remains. It's apparent in all software (at the moment nothing but Safari is running and the cursor just froze for more than a second). Oddly the scroll wheel on the USB mouse seems to work when everything else is dead.
And.. while typing this, the keyboard went dead. The spacebar alone was ignored, then other keys. Then it woke up. Sheesh. What's going on?
It's a 2010 Mini with 2GB ram. I have an 8GB upgrade on order. Will that make a difference to the mouse?

Update: the mouse is actually losing connection to the mini from time to time. It's les than 2 feet from the computer and the battery charge is 100%. Prior to installing ML I never had any issues with bluetooth reception.
(I shut off the bluetooth in my iPhone and iPad to prevent interference, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference).
Am I the only person with this problem?

Balky, frozen mouse and keyboard

Since installing OS 10.4.6, my USB keyboard and mouse quickly bog down, coming to a halt altogether. The mouse starts out as responsive as usual, but soon stops tracking adequately. The feel is as if the mouse is "bogged down" with too many instructions. I can unplug the USB cable to the keyboard and mouse and the problem will go away for a very short while, but then it is soon back. I can use a tablet stylus with absolutely no problem. Does anyone know what's going on here? It's extremely aggravating.

Same thing is now happening to me ... it created a problem
where there wasn't one before.
Sorry to hear it, Steven. No solution from anyone anywhere, so I assume we are the few that experience this and we have no recourse but to wait for the next patch/update. I hope someone from Apple is monitoring these discussions closely, because this problem makes me want to chuck my entire system. I have found that unplugging and re-plugging the USB cable (it's in a factory-installed, direct USB socket) will clear the clog temporarily. I updated the driver for my Wacom tablet, so I can mouse around with that. I can't enter anything from the keyboard when that USB cable gets clogged. Anyone else out there have mouse and keyboard stoppage issues? HELP!
