Mouse keeps freezing

I'm not sure by my mouse keeps freezing on me, and today I was working on a track in Logic 7, and the mouse got stuck, and the music got stuck too, and just sound like a fast broken record. Replaying the same spot for like 2-3 seconds. I'm getting really scared. I downloaded SMARTreporter, and it says that my drive is fine, but it's not acting like it. HELP !!!!

There are other ways, but this should be fine as long as you do not try to run it from the desktop, (pretty hard to do that anyway), but just run it from Single User Boot!
But, another way to get part way there...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

LAPTOP TOUCHPAD MOUSE KEEPS FREEZING

Hi,
My HP Pavilion laptop (Product No E6G16PA#ABG running MS Windows 8.1 64 bit) touchpad mouse keeps intermittently freezing sometimes for periods of a minute or two. I have no problems if I use a usb mouse it seems just to be an issue with the touchpad mouse. It would be appreciated if you could help me fix this annoying and frustrating problem.
Regards
Andy

@Andy5109 ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. First thing you may want to try is a system restore back before the problem started happening.
You may have had an update that caused this.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
The next step would be to download the software and drivers for your system. Once you have them downloaded boot into safe mode and uninstall the system drivers. You may have to reboot between each one and remember to boot into safe mode each time.
Once you have this done boot into windows normally and install the drivers starting with the Chipset first. Do not install any other driver until you have installed the chipset.
Here are some links to help you.

Windows 8 Safe Mode
If this fails to resolve the issue make sure you back up all your data and then do a full system recovery.
Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8)
At this point if you are still having the problem with the touchpad then you will require a repair.

TS2662 Mouse keeps freezing

I have a 2010 Imac with the original wireless mouse. Lately, the cursor keeps freezing and I get an error msg on the screen that says, "connection lost." After about 5 seconds or so, the connection resumes. It's happening more and more frequently. I just checked my battery and it's at 49%. Could my mouse be dying?

The mouse could be faulty, but....
Try making the mouse a favorite. Then reset the PRAM and SMC.

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.

I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

Mouse keeps FREEZING........KEYBOARD NOT WORKING!!!!

Hey, hoping someone could help. The last couple days, I will walk away from the laptop and come back only to see the trackpad is frozen and I am unable to type. I know that the laptop is NOT frozen because any audio/video will still be playing.
Any ideas why this is happening???

I have a similar issue, and it appears to be tied to static electricity. When I feel a small charge of electricity through the touchpad after it has sat a while, it froze. An external mouse/keyboard can be attached and work well. Of course, that isn't convenient on a laptop.
I have since "grounded" myself before I touch the keyboard/pad and have eliminated the issue over 90%. This isn't convenient, but it works.
I identified this issue in this thread:

USB Mouse Keeps Disconnecting on 13" 2011 MacBook Pro

Hello!
My Logitech M100 USB mouse keeps freezing up and/or completely turning off - constantly! About every 5 minutes, the mouse just shuts off (the laser at the bottom even turns off) and it becomes no longer operational. To fix it, I have to unplug it and plug it back in. This solution is good for another 5 minutes.
Every time my mouse disconnected, I noticed this pop up in the console:
1/15/12 8:27:32.000 PM kernel: USB Optical Mouse::terminate(kIOServiceSynchronous) timeout
And, if this is relevant at all:
1/15/12 8:29:10.000 PM kernel: 0 0 AppleUSBCDC: start - initDevice failed
I am running Mac OS X Lion.
Any ideas?
Thanks a ton in advance!

Does the mouse work on other computers?

Macbook pro keeps freezing finder freezes but mouse still travels

lately my 17" (10.5.5) macbook pro keeps freezing every 20-30 seconds. what happens is the computer freezes for about 10 seconds, during that time i can still move the mouse but it of course will not operate anything. i dont get the spinning wheel, but it makes using the machine almost impossible.
if i am just browsing the finder it happens almost every 20 - 30 seconds, but if im in an app it generally happens when i try to switch to another window.
im waiting on the new 17" in jan feb but worried that i wont get that far with this.
have tried repairing disc permissions but no joy
help

That is less RAM than req'd or recommended for Snow Leopard.
With a used system, always wipe the drive and system and install your own.
You can find RAM and storage upgrades @ www.macsales.com/macbookpro I woudl get 4GB RAM and invest as well in a 256GB or larger SSD to infuse new life and performance. I'd even go with 8GB and SSD if yours can't take 4GB though ifi ti will and you can.
They have tutorial video and how to guides for upgrade RAM and t he internal hard drive. And be sure you are using backups, TimeMachine at a minimum. Also look into Lion upgrade.

Why does my Mac keep freezing and applications not responding?!?

Hello everyone, I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, 500gb HD, 4gb ram. The problem is that it keeps freezing. I am writing this on my iPhone because my laptop would probably just freeze up if I even attempted to open an application. The problem is that my laptop won't stop freezing up. As soon as I have any application open, it will stop being responsive, give me the beach ball spinning wheel thing, and I'll use command-option-escape to open the force quit menu (because at this point the mouse usually can me moved around the screen but just makes the system get worse) to force quit what ever applications I have open. Then finder will stop responding, and then nothing will work until I do a forced shut down (hold the power button down) and turn it back on again, where the same thing happens within a minute. I tried repairing permissions and doing a P RAM reset, but have had no success with either. Please help, this is ridiculous, I can barely use my laptop and I need it for school. Thanks,
-Dylan

Your issue sounds like the hard drive is failing or it was bumped or moved while it was operating and corrupted the data on the drive.
Hard to tell for sure, run through this list of fixes

Note your signature says it's a 2009 model, that's almost 4 years old and near it's end of life stage of apx 4.5-5 years, a new drive might fix the machine, but clogged dust vents could be killing it too..

How should I find out the stuff that keeps freezing the display?

Hi,
I am using gnome-shell from testing repo on a laptop computer. The system(I do not know which part) has frozen several times in a same way. The whole display just suddenly stops reacting while I am scrolling down the web page in Chrome, opening a wine program, or something else. I have not figured out any pattern of its occurrence, so it's not repeatable for now. It seems that it's related to some modules or libraries used by Google Chrome browser or Wine because it mostly happens when I am interacting with Chrome browser.
It seems that only the display is frozen. I could not enter the tty with Ctrl + Alt + <F1...F8>, but I could move the cursor with my TrackPoint mouse. The NumLk/CapsLk LED also reacts normally. Even the network is working - when turning off and on the hardware switch of wireless, WiFi LED shows like the system is trying to reconnect the WiFi automatically.
If there's anything related Chrome, I guess one of the possible reasons is that when installing google-chrome-dev from AUR, I replaced libpci with libpciaccess in the depends array so that it won't cause a file exists conflict when installing.
Another possible reason is xinput, which I use for TrackPoint scrolling.
Now I am very curious in finding out what exactly it is that keeps freezing the display, but I'm not sure where to start. Could anyone give me some suggestions?
THANKS

thanks, but my SysRq and PrtSc are on same button, and when I press Fn + Alt + [PrtSc, SysRq], the system just recognizes as Alt + PrtSc. This is weird....

G570 USB mouse cursor freezing constantly

The problem will be explained lower but let me tell you how this was.
So I've had this problem like 1,5 years ago, after I bought the laptop. So I bought a cheap mouse for it back then, and I noticed that the laptop had problems with the USB mouse, fine, I thought it was the poor mouse, so I bought another cheap one, and it worked fine. Then I bought a gamepad, and again, this problem.
Today I bought a gaming mouse, and the problem re-appeared. I've been searching through the internet all day long.
Basically, the mouse cursor freezes constantly, also with that "plugged-unplugged" sound, but the touchpad works.
I've been looking all around, tried the mouse on another laptop and it works fine.
I've tried:
- Starting the laptop in safe mode.
- Uninstalling/reinstalling the realtek USB reader or w/e its name is.
- The device manager trick (I think you know what I'm talking about)
- Been changing the OS many times after I bought the laptop, that problem persisted with the gamepad.
- Tried different ports around the laptop.
None of them helped. BUT, I saw that actually it hangs when the CPU is throttling. I've changed my power plan to energy saver and the problem went away. I've changed the maximum/minimum CPU power, the problem went away.
But the frequency sets constantly at 800 MHz. What can I do to keep it at 2200 MHz (i3-2330M clock speed) and also keep the mouse working well?

Hey Barrett_killz,
Welcome to the forums
I would suggest you trying out a different USB mouse and see if that helps
Cant suggest anything else as you have already uninstalled and installed the Drivers
keep me posted

My laptop keeps freezing when i start it up

I posted this on my phone, by the way, since I couldn't even open up Google Chrome without my laptop freezing.

For some apparent reason, my laptop keeps freezing right when I start it up. When I type in my password and my desktop screen comes up, I try to go to control panel to uninstall an adobe software I had downloaded but caused my laptop to lag (I downloaded it from the adobe website, itself). But right when the control panel windows comes up, and I try to move my mouse around a bit (I use an external mouse thing), my laptop freezes right there. I tried to go to McAfee to scan for viruses just in case but it froze when the windows came up as well. I tried doing the ctrl + shift + esc thing and I don't think anything's going wrong but when the window comes up and I move the mouse around a bit, my laptop freezes. Nothing's overheating and dusty or anything. And no matter how many times I tried to force shut my laptop down by holding the power button until it turns off, it still freezes every time. Someone please help me troubleshoot this.
