  • Final Cut Pro…Mouse locks up…here we go again…HELP!!!

    Posted by Brian Reid on February 27, 2009 at 4:34 pm

    Earlier I posted https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1021918 a request for help with a mouse freezing. I took the common advice offered and removed the Apple Raid card and installed a Cal digit Raid card installing a fifth hard drive in the optical bay for applications and OS and setting up raid five for the other four hard drives. The computer came back and worked for a while but after it laid idle for a while the mouse locked up AGAIN. We’ve switched from wired to wireless apple mice and now have a logitech wireless mouse and it locks up also. 99% of the time we are using Final Cut ..though yesterday it locked up while in Safari looking for help….speaking of help!!! any suggestions

    You may have a USB problem…any drivers installed for any 3rd party USB devices?

    I started having this problem w/fcp recently after installing a new printer on our octo-core. Haven’t noticed it in other apps but it’s probably there. I keep the usb mouse plugged into the keyboard and just unplug/replug the cable and it comes right back to life. Funny thing is we recently moved the printer from a quad-core and never had the problem there (but that machine is running panther, the octo is running leopard).
