Mouse laggy or unresponsive after leaving sleep

Sometimes when my MBP leaves sleep the mouse (trackpad) jumps randomly around the screen. I've discovered that enabling the wifi causes it to be better behaved, but it remains slightly jerky and laggy. If I turn the wireless back off, it will jump around the screen again until I manage to re-enable the wireless.
Disabling/Enabling bluetooth doesn't affect this behavior. top doesn't show anything using more than 5% of the CPU, iostat doesn't show massive amounts of transfer, lots of RAM in use, but a lot is still free too. Logging out and logging back in doesn't fix it. There isn't much running it could be since I just logged out and logged back in to try to fix it.
One interesting note is that the screensaver visualization is also jumpy and slow.
Messages like these also appear in the system log:
IOHIDSystem::relativePointerEventGated: Unwanted Direction Change X: oldDx=6 dx=-1500
IOHIDSystem::relativePointerEventGated: Unwanted Direction Change Y: oldDy=6 dy=-1500
IOHIDSystem::relativePointerEventGated: Unwanted Direction Change X: oldDx=0 dx=0
Any ideas? I do not have the iStat widget that is repeatedly blamed in other threads.

NUXI,
I just got bitten by the same symptom. I'm beginning to think there's some problem with sleep and my MBP. I've had quite a few instances where it hasn't waken from sleep completely.
I'm certain it entered sleep since the LED was pulsing as normal - then when I lift the lid - the sleep LED goes off - but the display never comes back. I've listened carefully to the bottom of the unit and I can hear the HD spinning again - and both fans spin up - but the display doesn't start up. There is no backlight and no image either.
After that - the machine never seems right again other than rebooting. I was able to "wake" the screen by using another mac to "share the screen" - once I logged in over the network - the screen woke up the rest of the way.
Just like you - CPU usage is less than 5% - but the trackpad just doesn't respond smoothly. I have nothing connected - bluetooth is off, wifi is my network, but the track pad just became unusable. The keyboard did seem to be responsive - the shortcut key for logging out worked pretty much instantly - but the trackpad was useless...
Tons of <pre>2/3/08 8:46:46 PM kernel IOHIDSystem::relativePointerEventGated: Unwanted Direction Change Y: oldDy=-2 dy=264 </pre> messages - between 30 to 60 per second were logged...
It seems to me that something else was dragging the system down and this was just a side effect of the polling mechanism not getting input in a timely manner....

Computer enters sleep mode shortly after leaving sleep mode. Defect?

I have a problem. It's not a serious problem, but since it seems to be hardware related it might cause problem in the future.
It's pretty simple. Let's say I fold the computer screen down and leave the computer in sleep mode. If I then fold it up again it will automatically enter sleep mode once again 25-30 seconds after waking up. It doesn't matter what I do. I can be completely passive or open any app and move the cursor as much as I like. After roughly 30 seconds the screen turns black and I have to press a key to wake it up.
It never enters sleep mode any other time if I don't choose so, it's always after being in sleep mode already. And it happens 80-90% of the time, but I have not noticed a pattern for when it doesn't.
Naturally my settings are in order. I just updated it today and no difference after one attempt with the new OS version.
Any ideas?

Sleep.
Shutting down a Mac is never required. It is best to let it sleep, unless you are planning to not use it for a period of time considerably longer than a few days.

My new Macbook Air is now restarting after leaving sleep after upgrading to OSX 10.9.2.

Did work fine before upgrading.

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, if any. Be sure to disconnect all USB hubs. If you use a keyboard or mouse plugged into a hub, plug the devices directly into a built-in USB port and remove the hub. Test.
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator for this step.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for Diagnostic and Usage Messages. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.) Select the last few messages that appear, if any, and copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Mac Mini: Mouse unresponsive after sleep.

Hello,
I'm trying to help a friend with her Mac Mini. For some reason the mouse is unresponsive after the computer sleeps. I've tried using different mice to the same result. I have tried using different USB ports to the same result. Anything else plugged into USB is fine, its just the mice that are unresponsive. The only way to resolve the problem is to force a restart. The machine is stock running 10.5.1
Any ideas?
Thanks
Rany

I just bought a Mac Mini with Leopard, using wired Mighty Mouse, and also have the problem of the mouse freezing after logout.
I have found that the mouse will freeze if the logout confirmation button is pressed with the mouse instead of return. Scrubbing the mouse rapidly across the screen while the system is processing the logout causes the mouse to freeze up almost every time.
The work-around seems to be to use return logout, and don't touch the mouse until the login screen is presented.
This problem also occurred with a Logitech mouse, which is why I bought the wired Apple mouse. (In order to isolate the problem to Apple hardware or eliminate the problem.)
I hope that this problem is fixed soon -- I've just switched over from Windows Vista and am downgrading my old Dell box to Windows XP, because I wouldn't give Windows Vista to my worst enemy!

Why does my 2012 Retina Macbook Pro's trackpad become extremely unresponsive after I plug in a USB mouse? The only trackpad command that works is the left click, I can't select text or press down and hold the trackpad to do anything else until I restart.

My trackpad becomes REALLY unresponsive after I plug in a USB mouse. It seems like the cursor is broken and stuck on a permanent left click or something. I'm unable to select text or do any other sort of action that requires you to hold down the trackpad and drag. Mouse icons don't update as I scroll over different text and links. The trackpad is usually stuck in this unresponsive state until I restart my macbook which is extremely inconvenient if I have to do this after every time I use a USB mouse. Are there any fixes to this?

Melophage,
I don't leave it outside. Usually when I leave it overnight, I do so under the same conditions as when I leave it plugged in, and this morning I only left it for about an hour in my house and it did the same thing.
LowLuster,
I actually have a new hard drive I bought a while back and have been meaning to switch it out with the one that's in there now. I'll follow your instruction, then make the switch I had planned on and report back.

OS keyboard and mouse completely unresponsive after 10.6.1 update.

Hello,
Snow Leopard was running fine. I updated to 10.6.1 and now the computer boots up normally (background programs seem to be running fine) but the keyboard and mouse are completely unresponsive. I am even unable to dim the screen, change the volume etc etc. I was able to go into safe mode but then keyboard and mouse again are unresponsive.
Please help!
Thanks.

I had something very similar happen. I shut the lid on my MacBook. When I opened it up, I tried to type in my password (I have it password protected when it sleeps) and none of the keystrokes did anything. I had to hit the power-off button to cold boot the computer.

Mouse dead after leaving pc on overnight

I just got my first "root partition is full" warning, and read that pacman -Scc would clean it up. It did! THEN I read that you shouldn't use the -Scc, that -Sc is as far as you want to go. Seems like that happens to me a lot.
All seemed to go well, everything worked, so I though "No problem." now, well, I have a problem. After leaving the computer on overnight, my mouse is dead. It's a usb, generic mouse. It uses an led to show that it's powered up, and when I check it after setting for a few hours, the light isn't on. It comes on as soon as the bios loads, so I'm surprised that Arch even affects it, but I think the mouse is connected to the X window process. Google didn't give me any clue, and searching the forum drew a blank (for me, anyways). Searching for "mouse" in the wiki didn't work, either. I guess I could just shut it down and restart it, but I'd like to be able to let it sit overnight. Any idea what I broke?

I have what I'd call a "standard" install, as I've had Arch working for perhaps 5 or 6 months now. I haven't altered anything from the net install, as far as I remember.
After posting the problem, I let my computer "sit," and watched it to see what happened. The screen goes dark after maybe 15 minutes (screensaver, I suppose) and the mouse light stayed on. Then, after maybe another 25 minutes, something must send a shutdown signal to the system. The mouse light went off, but what alerted me was the speakers making a popping noise, like I had unplugged them. So it's a shutdown issue, with the mouse and probably all of Xorg going down, but the computer stays on.

Anyone notice that your keyboard is unresponsive after hibernate?

I've been noticing lately that my keyboard is absolutely unresponsive after I come back from a suspend that led to a hibernate. That is to say, suspend ... if batteries dies or you remove it it leads to hibernation... so when I power back (from hibernation) the trackpad works fine but the keyboard is unresponsive. Capslock light doesnt work either. Only solution I found is to reboot (using the trackpad) and all is okay.
Anyone else able to reproduce this?

'Deep Sleep/Hibernation' doesn't happen automatically when the battery goes flat, that's just normal hardware sleep ... any key/mouse click (once MagSafe power applied) will wake from that. The Power button is required for 'wake from Deep Sleep' (and you will see the vram software image loading with the Desktop greyed out)

L305D-S5935 Unresponsive After Display Turns Off

I have a L305D-S5935 running Windows Vista and it becomes unresponsive after the display turns off as set to do so in the power settings. I cannot push any key or button or move around on the mouse pad to get it to turn back on. This is very frustrating and the only way to get it to come back on is to to a hard restart.

Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections.
Then reinstall TVAP.

Firefox 20-22 on Windows 7 x64 unresponsive after Hibernation (Suspend to Disk)

Since Firefox 20, Firefox keeps unresponsive after using Hibernation mode (not Stand-By, Not Power Save) on 2 of my Windows 7 x64 systems (most recent Java, Flash & Operating System updates). Even in Safe Mode.
The problem is, that none of the elements respond to clicks ( site itself, tabs, menu-bar, close, toolbars,status bar, minimize maximize etc.) or scrolling nor does firefox react after killing the plugin container or flash player via the task manager. Seldom (1 in about 20 times) a "script unresponsive" dialog showed up without effect when selecting "Stop Script".
The problem seems independent from the site opened (be it Google, Facebook, plain HTML sites without any active content) and also independend from the number of sites opened since it shows the behaviour even if only one page is opened.
The one strange thing is that one is able to save all currently opened tabs by using CTRL+SHIFT+D. "The Save All Bookmarks-dialog" immediately shows up and has absolutely no responsiveness issues.
The problem persists until you force close it via the task manager and restart it.
Things i tried:
- Wait for 20 Minutes
- Power Save Mode (Stand-by that reacts on mouse movements) -> Problem not occuring
- Firefox Safe-Mode -> No positive effect
- Reinstall Firefox -> No effect
- Reinstall Flash & Java (x64 Versions)
- Machines are:
Lenovo U410 (Core i5, 8GB, SSD, Firefox on HDD) &
Custom System (Core 2 Duo E8500, 4GB RAM, 256GB Samsung SSD 830 (Firefox on SSD), 2x2TB Seagate Barracuda Green)

I've had a similar problem since upgrading to Firefox 22 on Windows 7 x64. After resuming from hibernation, Firefox appears unresponsive; however, I believe it is a problem with redrawing the window. If I click to a different tab, nothing happens, but if I minimize Firefox and restore it, it now shows the new tab I switched to. If I have a video open and I click play, there is no visual change, but I hear the sound start. The normal functionality is resumed when closing Firefox and re-opening it.

My itouch seems to be unresponsive after it turns on. It says slide to unlock, but doesn't seem to recognize any touch. I slide my finger and nothing happens.

Try this...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

TS1398 After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet via the 3G network unless I turn it off and then on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this issue?

After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet using a mobile 3G network unless I turn my phone off and then back on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this?

Then I'm at a loss. Mine has switched automatically from the start, favoring Wi-Fi, any of its registered networks, whenever available. Only thing I can think of is trying a Force Restart and see if that clears things up: hold down Home and Sleep till the screen goes black and a white Apple logo pops up. Release and allow it to restart.
May be similar, when I got the i5 about 16 months ago, the local carrier was starting to roll out 4G service. The phone would regularly lose all carrier connection, voice and data. Haphazardly would reconnect when it felt like it afterwards. Initially did the Off/On dance to speed things up, but discovered that using Airplane Mode would do the same without the lengthier power cycle. After awhile, the carrier 'fessed they were having capacity issues and later the problem went away. So yours too may also be a carrier issue.

I think this was an issue with graphics card. oO This lag was only with integrated video card. Fixed it by using discrete one (turn it on with gfxcardstatus). But I'm not sure.

IPad mini initially unresponsive after turning on?

My iPad mini is consistently unresponsive after I first turn it on from shut down. It opens to the lock screen, but I can't type my password.
I found that pushing the power button 4 times (two cycles of turning off the screen, then again to turn on the screen) will solve the problem, but it's really frustrating each time I turn on my iPad. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am presently still running the last version of iOS 6. Would updating to iOS 7 fix this? I have concerns about significantly decreased battery life with the new OS. Any advice or comments would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kelly

Running iOS 7 has not significantly decreased my battery times from what I was getting in iOS 6, but there is no question that what I was getting in iOS 5 and comparing that to what I get now, there is about one hour's difference. I used to easily get 10 hours in iOS 5 and that gradually decreased with every update in iOS 6 and has continued to decrease a little bit in iOS 7, but I still get 8-1/2 - 9 hours out of a full charge.
As for the weird unresponsive screen issue, have you rebooted the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen?
Tried resetting all settings! Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do this you will have to enter all device settings again, but no data will be lost.
