Mouse freezes I have a g5 mac, I can work on it for a little bit & then the mouse totally freezes, I have photoshop & in design & safari open, I have rebooted it but still nothing moves?

SOURCE: MAC wireless mouse does not move cursor

You have a bad mouse. Trash it or get a replacement from the manufacturer.

SOURCE: G5 Graphics Card Freezes or begins to show lines on display

Since you are able to see your mouse pointer move, the display is refreshing so the problem is with something other than the graphics card. Generally software / OS related.

So assuming you aren't experiencing a hardware failure try the following...

Boot from the CD the computer shipped with.

Insert CD and restart the computer holding the "c" key
Your computer should boot from the CD

If so run disk utility from the CD and repair the disk as well as permissions. If there are any errors repair again.

If this is successful your computer "should" be repaired. If it is still freezing, use your CD to perform a Archive and install which should keep all your personal settings and installed software intact.

SOURCE: The full screen on my i Mac moves whenever the mouse moves.

Hello, this is an option that is enabled in the system preferences panel: Go to the apple menu, click system preferences, go to "Universal access", and in the "Zoom " section, click the "No" button. Then it will go back to normal

SOURCE: G5 has insomnia won't stay in the sleep mode

Usually this is caused by a USB printer unnecessarily clamoring for attention.
Disconnect ALL your USB devices and the problem ought to go away. Then connect them one by one to find out which the culprit is.
To zap PRAM, shut down the Mac, then push the start button and immediately hold down Command-Option-P-R until you hear the chimes pass by three times. But I don't think this will affect your problem.

SOURCE: imac Flash Player locks up Bluetooth then crashes

Do you know for a fact that Bluetooth is at all involved? Try attaching a wired mouse -- if the wired mouse also freezes, the problem does not involve Bluetooth.
Flash is notorious for causing system problems on Macintoshes. Try reinstalling the most recent version of Flash.

Testimonial: "Bluetooth KB dies same time as mouse. USB mouse continues to work. I did get latest Flash. I guess you're right,Flash and Macs don't mix well! Thank you for response."
