Why the mouse ( any kind ) halts for 5 mins every time when I start Mac Pro

As soon as I start my Mac Pro, the apple logo appears abnormally long. When it finally comes into the system, the mouse icon moves but I cannot click into any of the desktop icons.
I have reformated my harddisk, but the problem still appears. Does any one know how to fix my problem?
thank you

Normally I would say a combination of *Disk Warrior* and SuperDuper to solve the issue, and look for any/all (bad) usb cables and devices (hubs and printers too).
Don't import your old prefs etc and keep it clean while you test and look for why.
But normally a long logo 'gear' etc = corrupt caches or disk directory.

  • What is "launchproxyls"? It runs every time when I start the system.

    I am using 10.6.6， Recently I noticed the computer running even I did not using any program. Then I found the process "launchproxyls", when I close this process, computer return quiet again. But every time when I start the system, it runs, and I have to close it manually.
    Could anybody please help me?

    Thank you for the response.
    I found it was SPSS using inetd.
    So I made two changes, but it the launchproxyls does still run the same:
    First I uninstalled the SPSS, but no effects.
    Then I reinstalled the OS(10.5), the launchproxyls did not appear. But after I update to 10.6.6, it appeared again, I still have to terminate it manually.
    Is there any relation between 1.6.6 and launchproxyls?

  • What did the installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 changed in the system because after that Firefox crashes every time when opened?

    My system worked normally but after I installation CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 Firefox crashes every time I try to open it. I've tried disabling plugins and add-ons but with no success. Reinstallation of Firefox hasn't helped. But as I this has happened to me on a couple of other computers too, I've been able pin point the source of problem to installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 (and earlier versions, too).
    Firefox can be opened without problems in safe mode or in Windows XP SP3 compatiblity mode. Does Firefox use some different system components then?
    I am using 32-bit Windows7 and latest version of Firefox.

    It is possible that the CorelDRAW program installed extra fonts on your computer and that Firefox is having a problem with one or more of them.
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

    You can also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Why the jsp page can not be displayed every time?

    I created a jsp page which accesses the data from the oracle database and generates some dynamic results at run time. Most of the time the page works well, but randomly the page can not be displayed. It seems not an application issue. Can someone tell me what's the problem there?
    Thanks in advance.

    but randomly the page can not be displayed. When does this happen?
    What are the error messages, if any, that you get?
    Give more details.

  • Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks.

    Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks!

    It really isn't a well thought out 'gesture' when a normal scroll action can result in an unwanted zoom but disabling SmartZoom wasn't an option for me—one of those with eyes that tire easily when reading very small text on a 27" display.
    For a while I used command-+ and command-'-' to read small text but that isn't supported in some apps and for Safari it often leaves the browser in an less than perfect state when moving to the next page.  I also tried option scroll to zoom the whole display but that was not desirable, either.
    I finally settled on leaving SmartZoom enabled and remembering to double tap with one finger whenever the undesired zoom happens. It happens so often that the double tap is almost a reflex action for me.

  • Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work in OSX 10.9.1?

    I've a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Late 2013 and I'm using two external displays. One connected to to the HDMI port (display 1) the other to thunderbolt (display 2). The MacBook display is closed. I’m working with Logic Pro 9.1.8 (32bit) with OSX 10.9.1
    Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work???
    It was already difficult with OSX 10.9 but now after upgrading to 10.9.1 it's game over!
    At least before I could select which display use Logic Pro to have all the shape functions of the pointer. Not in both displays, so to be forced to edit in ONLY ONE of the two displays using this workaround: (right click on Logic icon in Dock: Option --> Desktop on Display 1). Now or I select “Option --> All Desktops” or does not work. However, by selecting all displays you say goodbye to Mission Control. This can’t be a solution!!!
    The amazing thing is that Nuendo has no problem while Logic Pro, Apple's native software, it can't!
    With Nuendo it’s indifferent in which display you are working, the shape of the mouse pointer changes shape depending on the requirement in both displays.
    This thing drives me crazy!
    Solutions?
    Here some ideas in other foums:
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=86264
    But this aren't really solutions but workarounds. Use Logic in all desktops makes Mission Control useless!!

    I installed all over again by formatting as suggested by the genes of pro application support. Each plug-in, each virtual instrument, a job that lasted 3 days. And as suggested for each new plug-in I proceeded to check the proper functioning of Logic Pro and did each time a back up with Time Machine.
    The Result:
    Logic works as it should ONLY on the primary monitor and ONLY on the first desktop.
    BUT
    Reason and Nuendo dont' have this issue !!
    I believe that Apple developers are thinking only to mobile phones and things like messages or face time.
    And that's not all!
    After a few weeks, perhaps by installing a version of Adobe Acrobat, I say maybe because I'm not sure, logic has stopped working properly. Again problems with the mouse pointer.
    Luckily I had a back up! But now I'm terrified to install new programs. Thanks Apple!

  • After updating my iPad 2 to iOS 6, I cannot connect to my router.  I have turned the router off, left off for a considerable time, turned the iPad off and on, reset the network settings, nothing works.  Any other suggestions?

    After updating my iPad 2 to iOS 6, I cannot connect to my router.  I have turned the router off, left off for a considerable time, turned the iPad off and on, reset the network settings, nothing works.  Any other suggestions?  It is obvious many others are having similar problems, so the iOS 6 looks like a loser.

    I have just upgraded from a 3 to a 4S and now I can't connect to my wifi. I've tried everything, resetting network settings, switching to boot, renewing lease, rebooting, turning off cellular data etc etc. nothing works!! Very frustrating!

    Charts don't have cursors and they also don't have the "plot images" options, so your tools are limited.
    Of course you can simulate a chart using a graph by keeping your own history and display it on a graph. Use cursor move events to trigger the calculation of the distances from the new cursor position to all points on the graph and pick the one with the shortest distance to the cursor. Now you can get the annotation tools to label the point, or get its x and y value and write the info using picture tools with the "plot images" property.

  • I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

    I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

    Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

    Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
    A bit more info:
    -tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
    Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
    -tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
    -tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
    -tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
    There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.
