USB Mice Won't Respond

I've tried 4 different mice on this laptop, as I prefer them greatly over the eraser head and touch pad, and none of them will connect.
1 is a Targus, wired mouse that worked last week, and suddenly does not anymore, and the other 3 are Microsoft wireless laser and optical mice. All of them use a USB to plug in, as my laptio doesn't have any of the circular mouse ports.
I've tried changing the batteries, finding software from Microsoft, Control Panel Hardware-Adding, Troubleshooting, Rebooting, Disconnecting and Re-Connecting, and now I'm all out of ideas.
The wireless mice has receivers that keep a steady green light, but the mouse itself won't budge.
http://tinyurl.com/mouse1 is the 1st wireless mouse, where the receiver will keep a constant green light and the mouse won't respond.
http://tinyurl.com/mouse2 is the 2nd wireless, where the receiver will blink green when i hold down the butotn, but will stop once i let go, and I have tried to oress the connect button but that won't do it. The red laser on the bottom stays lit, but it simply won't go anywhere.
http://tinyurl.com/mouse3 is the new, fresh out of the box wired mouse that worked for several days, but now will not work. I plug it in, the laser comes up underneath the mouse and stays on, but the cursor will not move. I tested it on another laptop where it worked just fine. I'm not sure where on the computer I should be looking to find how to fix this.
I've looked at the BIOs, but have had no such luck. Running on Windows XP Pro. Any and allhelp s appriciated.

I  HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY LENOVO SL500 NON OF THE MOUSE IS WORKING LAST WAS VX NANO LOGITECH.
DID YOU FIND ANY SOLUTION
please help if you got answer from someone.

  • USB Mic won't show up in Drivers Menu

    I just bought an Audio Technica 2020 USB microphone, and I can't get it to work with Logic Pro 7.2.3.
    When I open up the audio/midi setup it is listed there, and it works with other programs, but it doesn't show up in the Driver drop-down list on the Drivers tab in Audio Preferences in Logic Pro.
    I even tried setting up various aggregate devices, but none of these show up in Logic Pro. The only 2 things that show up are Built-in Input and Built-in Mic.
    I've tried restarting Logic, restarting the computer, and nothing seems to help.
    Does it make a difference if this is the academic version?
    Please someone help!!!
    Thanks,
    Justin

    In the Audio / Midi settings under the Audio menu, create an aggregate device one for the usb mic and one for the output. Then in your Logic pro settings in the core audio set the aggregate device as the default device.
    Well that works LP 8 w/10.5.3

  • Samson Q1U USB Mic won't work in Logic

    Hey there,
    My Samson Q1U Mic (USB) will not show as an available I/O in Logic.
    It is selected in my Audio/Midi Preferences under Utilities, as well as under System Preferences in Sound Input, as well - it works in Garage Band - however, it does not show as an available device in Logic??
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    I was able to enable my snowball usb mic using the following procedure. I had logic studio open at the time, but I don't think it is necessary. In fact, you should probably do these steps (including above) before opening logic. By the way, I had never heard the term "aggregate device" before yesterday!
    1. Mic was plugged in, powered up, and was working in SYSTEM PREFERENCES/ SOUND/ Input. I highlighted the mic and it was registering sound.
    2. Go to UTILITIES/ audio midi setup. After window opens, go to the very top of the screen (menu options for audio midi setup) and click AUDIO which allows you to then open AGGREGATE DEVICE EDITOR.
    3.Hit + to add new aggregate device. Select a check by built-in input, built in output, and your mic. Set the clock for built in output, not the mic. Save changes and exit/ close audio midi setup.
    4.*Restart the computer.*
    5.I left the mic plugged in I think during the restart, but I may have plugged it back in after restart. I again made sure it was working in apple system preferences.
    6.Open logic. Select preferences/audio. The AGGREGATE DEVICE should now be available as an input option. Select and save changes.
    7.Go back to your project. Your mic should work on an audio track. I didn't have to do anything to the track input selector- it just worked and it has worked consistently even though I have disconnected and reconnected several times!
    SUCCESS!!

    Not sure why such a great program would not have a simpler option for using a usb mic.

  • Premiere won't recognize my usb mic even though my mac recognizes it

    I am trying to do a voice over, but when I attach my usb mic, premiere will not recognize it as an input even though I selected it in the sound settings on my mac. When I did my first voice over, the mic was recognized, but now it is a no go.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.
    Kevin

    What I have found is that you have to make the audio input change at the computer system level first, then start PPro and make the changes in the Audio Hardware section. So on the Mac, Sys Preferences - Sound -Input - choose your mic. Then start up PPro - Preferences - Audio Hardware - Choose System Default Settings (usually the first one on the drop down list). Then go through arming the track. You should see VU input at that point.
    PPro does not dynamically check any changes in the sound settings once it is launched. Quit PPro, set up the mic, relaunch and set inputs. This works consistently for me and my classroom.

  • Logic won't recognize AT2020 USB mic - help!

    Hello,
    I'm pretty new to Logic and don't have much experience. I have an AT2020 USB mic, and when I have tried to record with it on Logic, it never comes up in my drop-down list of device choices. Only the 'Built-in microphone' and the "Built-in input' show up in that list. What do i need to do to be able to use it? It was advertised as not needing any setup work, so I'm at a loss... any advice will be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • HT1476 I can't tell if my ipod touch 3rd gen is really charging. I have it plugged in, but it will sometimes show the charging icon and then it won't respond to anything. I ddon't know if you need itunes to be on your computer to charge it.

    Ok, so I plug in my touch 3rd gen and I can't tell if it is really charging. It doesn't seem like it is. I can only see the charging icon sometimes, and then after the icon goes away, the ipod won't respond! I'm not sure what to do. Than I thought the USB port was messed up because it doesn't always work, but I plugged it into a diferent port and it said on the ipod, charging isn't supported with this accessory.

  • My ipod touch won't respond. Shortly after I downloaded IOS 8, it quite responding. How can I get my pictures recovered?

    My ipod touch won't respond. Shortly after I downloaded IOS 8, it quite responding. All I get is the Apple sign.  I connected to my computer and tried updating and was able to download the USB connection for the device but received an error when it tried to update the ipod. Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from the device before I try to recover? At this point my pictures are more valuable to me than restoring the device.  How can I get my pictures recovered?
    Now it looks like I have the Apple with an line under it on the screen, but still not responsive.

  • 1st Generation iPod Touch (8GB) won't respond.

    Hi,
    I have a 1st Generation iPod Touch (8GB) and it won't respond to anything.  I tried restoring and resetting and charging.  When I plug the iPod into my Mac (10.2 Macbook Pro) the iTunes (which is very up-to-date) won't even recgonize it.  My computer doesn't even recognize it as a storage unit.  I tried all of the USB ports and multiple cables but stil, nothing is happening.  I can't even get the screen to turn on and display the apple.
    What should I do? Is the battery dead or is my iPod completely dead?
    Thanks!

  • IMovie 10.0.5 crashes into millions of colored pixels when I add v/o narrative using Pages to read script from and using a USB mic attached to my iMac. I am running Mavericks OS X10.9.4

    Hi, I have been editing a project for a week and over the past 2 days iMovie 10.0.5 has crashed into millions of colored pixels about 6 times. I am working on a 27" iMac running OS X 10.9.4 with 6GB of Ram, plenty of space on start up disc (217 GB's)  The crash seems to coincide with any effort to use an external USB mic plugged in to record a narrative. I can record the voice over but a few minutes later I get some awful audio scrubbing sounds and then it pixelates. Why is this happening and how can I work around this to record a voiceover please? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm nervous to continue if my work is going to ultimately be lost. My project is currently about seventeen mins and includes, video clips from 2 different cameras (both Canon) a music track from iTunes and some still images (jpegs.)

    Thanks Erik,
    If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
    As an aside....
    I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...)  were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

  • External mic won;t work

    imovie won't record voice over using my
    Plantonics USB mic. It worked on my last project
    several months ago I've checked prefs and its selected
    input and output... I'm stumped

    Hi Terry - just guessing but are you trying to record while the movie is playing? It won't do that. You must record while the play-back is stationary.

  • USB Mic Problems

    I am recording with my USB mic it's a Blue Microphone Spark and at first it was recording fine now... It isn't so much I turned down the mic volume to 2 and even 1 and it still is recording hot and sounds distorted at points. How do I fix this problem and get the best out of my microphone?

    Vacuoso wrote:
    I turned the windows control for the mic down but it appears overridden by Audition. (Is this correct?)
    There has to be a master control for the USB mic input levels, right? I can't find it for the life of me... I suspect that I am going to feel plenty dumb when someone tells me how to do it--but HELP, anyway! =)
    Audition doesn't control any gains or levels in external devices at all - period. No overrides, nothing.
    There are two ways in general that USB devices work in this situation - they either have a driver with its own control applet or they hand control to the Windows mixer. I think your Stanton device uses the Windows mixer, and it's extremely unlikely to use the Mic input - far more likely to use the Line input, I would have thought - it won't be a mic level signal coming from it, after all.
    First thing to do is to look at the setup as it is in your PC, and make sure that it appears as it is on p.8 of the manual. If you can't find those settings on your machine, chances are that there's driver software on the CD that came with it, and you'll have to install that Cakewalk stuff to make it work (you don't have to use it though - it's just the driver you want). When you've got the correct source set up, it should appear in the Windows mixer but as I said, it's probably the line input level that controls it.
    It's also quite possible that the standard Windows USB PID driver will work, and that the turntable will just appear correctly - no driver required - so check that first before doing anything else. Whatever you end up doing though, it's got to appear in the control panel like it does on p.8.

  • Trouble with snoowball usb mic  in GB3....low volume levels or bad clipping

    I have rebooted the computer several times. This usb mic has no driver software and was working fine until I got a audio core driver message of some sort.
    Any pointers?

    dollarblower,
    If it's not the Snowball, then I'm not sure.
    You can give the following a try; I don't know if it will help you, but it won't hurt you, and it often solves weird issues in GB:
    Use Disk Utility to repair your system permissions (/Applications/Utilities);
    Then, trash your GarageBand Preference files (don't worry, it will replace them; you can reset any prefs to what they were in the app)
    Search for the two files:
    com.apple.garageband.cs -and-
    com.apple.garageband.plist
    and discard them.
    (Normally, they are in /Library/Preferences/ or in user/Library/Preferences/
    but do a search to make sure you get all the copies.)

  • My iPods won't respond or display anything

    I have two iPod touches that both went out at the same time.  They just won't respond to anything.  I have tried the methods in the troubleshooting section to turn them off but nothing happens.
    They don't appear to charge at all when I plug them into the wall adapter (I have tried three different ones, and confirmed them all work with my classic ipod) and they just don't respond at all.  I have held the home button and the sleep button simultaneously for over 2 minutes many times, and nothing happens.  When i plug them into the computer, nothing happens either... no chime to tell me a usb device was plugged in and no confirmation from itunes that anything was plugged in.
    Whats strange is that, when I plugged it into the car charger this morning, I got the recovery image on one of them instructing me to plug it into my pc for itunes to recover it.  By the time I made it inside, it went away and I was unable to recover it.  I was thinking maybe I need to let them drain again until the battery is completely depleted, but without indication of how much battery is left, i could be waiting for a month.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

  • USB Headset won't work along with Audi

    First off, when searching for this problem, I saw many posts explaining why USB headsets won't work with a soundcard cause they basically have one built in to them. I understand this.
    This is not my problem.
    This is my problem:
    I have a Plantronics Gamecom Pro USB headset that worked great when I was using onboard sound. It would automatically intercept the first sound signal it could pick up. So if I plugged it in first, before starting a game, the headset would pick up all sound from the game.. nothing to my external speakers.
    If I started the game first with the headset unplugged, then plugged them in then started Ventrillo, then the headset would pick up the Ventrilo sound but the game sound still came from my speakers. Perfect set-up.
    However, after adding an Audigy 4, the headset no longer works at all. No sound, no mic.. I plugged the headset ito my laptop and it works fine so I am pretty sure it's some sort of conflict with the Audigy 4.
    I'm not too much of a techy but I'm thinking perhaps the Audigy 4 keeps a lock on the sound signal somehow, not letting the headset pick it up on the USb port?
    Does anyone else have a problem using a USB headset not WITH but ALONG SIDE an Audigy?Message Edited by CroakerJoe on 0-2-2006 03:55 PM

    I have the same usb headset and am having the same issue with my pc. I am running the X-fi Platinum. The plantronics are supposed to be a plug and play, but when i plug it in, the headset is getting power, is recognized by the pc and other applications, but will not play any sounds at all, and it works on my other machine with an older card. It seems to be overridden by the new card. when i was running the old audigy i could use one or the other (not both at the same time) which is to be expected with this type of headset, but i did not expect the new card to totally not allow the head set to work at all. This is causing me trouble as i use my rig for alot of gaming and LAN parties. Speakers are often not allowed, and the plantronics gamecom pro headset is a sweet set for gaming. If anyone sees this and can provide a fix. I would greatly appreciate it.
