Trackpad or USB mouse wont work

I am struggling with my Macbook pro. Its an early 2010 model. Just in the past couple days the mouse wont work. It just decides it does not want to click at all. Sometimes i can get the right click to work. If i restart with keyboard commands it is fine for about 10 min then does it again. I thought it was the trackpad but it is performing fine. I can feel and hear it depress and clilck properly but no action on the screen when it clicks. If i plugin a USB mouse i get the same problem. I have reset PRAM, repaired permissions, done a hard drive verify and run the hardware test from install disk both easy and extended hardware test. And everything comes up as fine and the permissions repaired fine.
A couple months ago this computer was acting really weird and i decided to reformat with a fresh system since it had been over a year since i got it. It was a struggle to do even that. It would not install the system after a basic HD erase (which has never happened to me). I had to zero out the HD to get the system to install. It worked fine after i finally got it reinstalled and setup until now this mouse thing is happening
I am just wondering if this seems more like system corruption or a hardware issue like bad HD or bad board. I am about to reformat again but I hate to go through all that setup again if it is hardware. Anyone have any thoughts on what to try next. Thanks

The regression reported here http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=137523956310060&w=2 did not solve the problem as i installed the patch found here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36296
Still the same message shown in the xorg log.
EDIT:
Also, after being connected the mouse connects as a keyboard, but the actuall mouse functionality dosnt work.

My Macbook Pro keyboard AND USB keyboard will not work. However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work. Any help?

My Macbook Pro keyboard and USB keyboard will not work. However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work. Any help?
This is quite frustrating, since it randomly occured as I was browsing the web. It seemed to happen out of nowhere. I cannot login to my user account because I cannot type my password.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you have another Mac, boot the non-working one into Target Disk Mode (holding down "T" at startup). Hook up the two Macs via a Firewire cable. The non-working one will mount on the other Mac as an external Firewire HD.
Next, download the 10.5.6 Combo update from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
Run it. When it asks you for a destination, choose the other Mac that was mounted via Firewire. When it's done, unmount the computer and restart it. The keyboard and mouse should work now.

Trackpad USB Mouse not working in windows xp safe mode

I can't access my windows side, after fixing a series of problems with the windows recovery console. I can only access my windows login screen through safe mode. However, now my trackpad and USB(corded) mouse won't work, to login and finish fixing my windows xp pro side. The only advise I have been finding is to use a ps/2 connector for the mouse to work (don,t have one) or access the bios to enable the USB port (don't have bios). So I'm kind of stumped. Is there a way to enable a USB mouse to work in safe mode with windows recovery console or on the mac side or somehow enable the trackpad? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Ok then, no offence.
In any case, thanks for the advice!

I need these Devices because they are my only network access via the Asix USB to Ethernet Adapter.
After the installation I have compiled and used the drives for the Asis adapter.
The both other devices are my USB Keyboard and Mouse.
2. My other problem is, that after the update my resulution of my console is very weak, this is just bad but not a real problem, I can live with that.
Thanks in advance for helping me

USB mouse not working in Windows 8

I have Win8 64-bit OS. A couple of days back the USB mouse stopped working without any reason. The mouse works on other systems and there is nothing wrong with the hardware.
I found a couple of posts suggesting uninstalling the drivers or doing a system restore to get it to work again.
None of these work. I recently upgraded to Win 8.1 thinking that maybe the upgrade will help. It had no effect.
Can someone suggest any other known method ?

Hi,
The USB device issue can be always caused by driver or BIOS XHCI mode.
Besides above suggestions, you can also try to roll back the USB driver to an older version to see if we can get this issue fixed.
Please feel free to try it and let me know the result. If the reply is helpful, please remember to mark it as answer which can benefit our Community members.
Otherwise, please unpropose them and provide detailed information about current status.
We will wait for several days, if there is no response on this thread we consider that you got what you want or your issue has been resolved, then mark this case as answered. Thanks for your understanding.

Keyboard and mouse wont work unless booted in safe mode.

So my keyboard and mouse wont work at all when i start up normally, so i coudnt even log on, then i tried safe mode and i was able to use the mouse and keyboard and log in, then when i loged in i got some messages:
*+System extention cannot be used+*
+The system extention "/system/library/extentions/IOUSBFamily.Kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the products vendor for an update.+
And 2 others: MicrosoftMouse.kext and msdosfs.kext
Im pretty sure how i got this problem, i was using bootcamp and i got this program called MacDrive (bad Idea)and it corrupted my HD or something so i had to use disk warrior to fix it. I also used disk utility in safe mode but there were no errors it said.
and this is probably a hardware problem but i cant use DVD's anymore, my drive will only read CD's now, must be broken....
so ya, i dunno what to do exept get my drive fixed and to a backup and reinstall OS...

Hi
There are no many options which could solve this problem.
It can be a hardware problem or software related issue.
Can you use the internal keyboard within the BIOS?
Check this.
If this would not be possible, I assume the hardware is faulty.
Additionally I recommend testing the keyboard and touchpad using the factory settings.
Recover the notebook and check if the keyboard would functions. Otherwise you will need an helps from an notebook technician in order to replace the keyboard and touchpad

USB Mouse not work with Mac OS 10.6

I have a USB mouse can work with Mac OS 10.4 but cannot with Mac OS 10.6. Noticed the different is the USB mouse motion reporting is 12-bit instead of 8-bit. It can definitely work on Windows with standard USB HID driver. I wonder if the OS 10.6 is having a different USB HID driver specification which is not posted in USB-IF.

Ask the Vendor.

TS1986 My mouse wont work...

My mouse wont work and it is a cordless type. I've replaced the batteries and the green light comes on underneath but the arrow wont move on the screen. Can anyone help?

Is this something new, or something that worked before and no longer works?
What is the make and model of the mouse? (maybe a link to its product desription page if available)
What is your Mac model, and what version of Mac OS X does it run?
If it's a non-Apple wireless mouse, you may need to install a driver to make it work.

My Trackpad or USB mouse will not work

Hey,
I'm running a power book G4 on version 10.3.11.
I started to notice erratic behavior with my track pad. It wasn't clicking on anything I was trying to select. Then all of a sudden it completely went. I can move the curser around the page fine but when I try and click on something nothing happens. It's like I am not clicking on the track pad at all.
I'm pretty sure it's not the track pad as the exact same behavior happens when I use a USB mouse.
I've also run a Hardware test and nothing has come back as being faulty.
Can anyone tell me what this could be? Maybe I need to update my operating system? Or there is something wrong with the board that actually reads the ram in my power book?

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8669772&#8669772
This issue came up for me over the weekend on December 20th.
Tried reset of trackpad with palm. - No improvement.
PMU reset - No improvement.
PRAM reset - No improvement.
Disassembly and cleaning - No improvement.
USB mouse and trackpad have same symptoms:
erratic jumpy mouse cursor and clicks not registering correctly.
Used Diskwarrior to repair "keys out of order" problem. - No improvement.
Noticed desktop wallpaper switching rapidly.
Took PB to Apple Store - Genius booted to his portable HD and problem not evident. Concluded software problem, not hardware. Tried to delete mouse prefs but couldn't find them.
Genius recommended "archive and install."
SOLUTION
"Archive and Install" from Tiger update disk. - Problem fixed.
Ran software update - used combined OSX update. - Problem still fixed.
Looks like my problem was a software glitch. Kudos to the Genius for good advice.

HP Optical USB Mouse Not Working Win7

I have a HP USB Optical Scroll Mouse (265986-003 MOAFUO) which works on Linux + Mac, but wont work on my Windows 7 PC. I'm pretty sure I've used it before on previous installs of Win7. When I plug it in, it lights up and installs a logitech driver. I've tried the following:
Uninstalling the drivers - it installed the same one again.
Checked the HP driver site - no drivers.
I took the CMOS battery out too
Any ideas? It does work with other OS's so I'm sure this is something that can be fixed. Maybe a driver issue.
Thanks for reading.

I have exactly the same problem.
However, my dmesg info is slightly different:
usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: HID 413c:3010 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/input/input13

USB HID v1.00 Mouse is the difference, but it also does not work.
The problem occured after a recent upgrade, I suspect xorg-server.
Plugging the mouse into the computer results in these messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

USB Mouse stops working

I only just started getting this weird problem with my USB Mouse. It will work for awhile - maybe a couple of minutes and then it freezes. It seems to be getting worse and if I unplug it and plug it back in then it will work for a few minutes if I'm lucky until it feezes again. I have tried using another USB Mouse and the exact same thing happens. I have also tried 5-7 USB slots and still the same. It's getting very anoying and I even unintalled the driver from device manager & reboooted but no progress. I have not added or touched any hardware or software at all so this is very strange.
rAd

Hi,
The only USB device I have connected was the Printer but that was turned off. I turned it back on - rebooted but still the same. I also have a network card installed that I use to connect to my laptop so I took this out in case it had something to do with it but it made no difference. As mentioned originaly, I have never had any problems before with any of my hardware etc. I have included a screenshot of my IRQ's & devices (again these haven't changed) - your also see the error that occurs when this happens at the dialog box in bottom right.
I'm going to try a few things now including disbaling some hardware and see if I can find a conflict etc.

Can't get any USB mouse to work!!!!!

I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Everything was fine with my Microsoft USB mouse until 2 days ago when it stopped responding. I put it down to my son having dropped it and bought a Logitech M505 USB mouse today. This is not recognized either and won't work. I've tried plugging the unifying device into both USB ports but it simply won't work and I'm told there is no Logitech device plugged in. Can anyone help me? Please!?!

I used my USB scanner last night and that worked fine and also when I plug in the receiver for the Microsoft mouse the light comes on so I figure everything is ok with the actual USB port? In system profiler/USB I can't see anything that would indicate a problem. Where would I have to look exactly? Is there some kind of test I can run to see if there is a problem?

Trackpad keeps disconnecting and wont work unless I restart

I tried searching around for a resolution to this issue but haven't had any luck so turning here for support. I recently updated my late 2012 retina MBP 13-inch to Mavericks. Prior to the update my magic trackpad mouse was working without issue. Now, I am experiencing frequent bluetooth disconnections with the trackpad. The only way to re-connect is by resarting my computer (reconnection happens automatically at this point). Any suggestion for fixes?
Batteries were recently replaced and I have 97% battery life.

The issue is actually with the battery terminals. Chances are the spring has lost some bounce, so when you tap the pad too hard, the batteries jump, power is temporarily lost for a split second, and the bluetooth disconnects until the handshake sequence is done again with the Mac.
The solution is to put a folded up piece of tin foil in the battery comparment, between the batteries and one of the terminals (negative or positive, doesn't really matter). This will make sure the power connection is snug. After I did this, my problem was solved.

HP P6730f window 7, no video/wireless usb mouse wont respond/no caps num lock lite on keyboard

Good Morning, I have a HP P6730f running window 7 home that has developed a problem. It had shut it down & rebooted but when I pushed the power on button on the box which turned on & started the reboot. However the monitor remained black (it was turned on), the usb wireless mouse didnt work, & the keyboard didnt respond (num & cap lock lights wouldnt turn on or off). I turned it off & removed the cables & replaced them & tried to start up again & same thing happened.
The system is abt 3 1/2 yrs old.
Any suggestions?
