I am having intermittent problems with both my mouse and keyboard occasionally freezing. If I unplug then re-plug the USB cables they usually work again. Any ideas what's wrong? I have an iMac 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.

Check if there are any other units on USB that may be flaky. Try unplugging everything but mouse & keyboard and see if the problem stays. Cheap hubs is a plausible suspect.
The low-end Mac Pro is the most overpriced Mac since the IIvx

Not sure if this is your problem, but I had this problem with rechargeable batteries. Now I use disposable alkalines.

The issue was a broken wire connecting the keyboard to the iMac. Thanks for all your suggestions.
