Changing the cursor to the hourglass. Any ideas?

I posted this in the Actionscript 3 Forum so I'm sorry about
the double post.
I've got a frame in my Flash AIR app that loads some data and
I'd like to change the cursor to the hourglass in Windows (watch on
the Mac) while the data loads. Anyone have any ideas? It seems like
it should be simple, but I just can't seem to find a solution for
it.

Yeah, you can't do that. This is a top request of mine, glad
to see I'm not alone. File an Enhancement Request -- see me
signature.
The workaround is to attach a custom graphic within Flash (or
your HTML app) to the mouse location. The limitation of course is
that this isn't system level, so you need to rely on custom
graphics, and the graphic obviously won't be able to go outside the
Flash/app frame. You can hide the mouse, thus effectively replacing
the mouse cursor with your custom graphic, but I'd do that with
caution: poor app performance or hangs will make the user think
their mouse is hanging, which is a really bad feeling, and there
are some other situations that can get hairy (mouse stays hidden
outside of the app frame, sometimes, so cursor has completely
disappeared!) For an hourglass or similar it makes sense to just
attach right beside the cursor.
Marco, the stopwatch you've seen is probably the one used in
the Flex framework. It uses the custom attached graphic
workaround.

Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

I can't completely control my cursor on my macbook pro, and it keeps jumping to the right of the screen and switching my screen to the dashboard or utilities. Any ideas on what might be causing this, and what I can do about it?

If you have another pointing device installed, remember that the Mac uses "all sources live". You can literally use two or more mice or two or more keyboards at once.
Your trackpad, if that is what you are using, must be very clean. Any debris may be seen as another "finger".

I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!

The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :

Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

TS1587 I tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up. Turning it on you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark. Any ideas what to do? Thanks Maja

My iMac won't start up, or wake from sleep. I've tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up. Turning it on, you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark. Any ideas what to do? Thanks!

Mac doesn't boot
Can you hear the fans and hard drive and see the white boot screen? Flashing question mark? The circle just runs and nothing happens? Only black screen and nothing else? These can be very helpful to diagnose the source of the problem. [1]
Flashing question mark [2]: This is usually a sign of a failed hard drive. This indicates that boot up volume can not be found.
Black screen: This is usually a sign of a failed logic board. There is no single reason for this and this may be caused by failed GPU, screen, CPU or RAM.
Circle of death/no circle/blue screen: This is usually a sign of a hard drive failure. This may NOT be a dead hard drive, just broken permissions or something
Gray screen/Apple logo/spinning gear or globe/prohibitory sign/folder with flashing question mark [3]: This could be a sign of faulty hardware but more likely a software issue, i.e. broken permissions, failed software update, etc.
[edit]
What to do
First, hold down the option key (also known as the alt key) just after you've pressed the power button. This should show all the available options to boot from, so if you have Windows installed through Bootcamp or a disk in your SuperDrive, you should be able to see them along with your OS X drive/partition. Select the OS X partition with arrow keys and press enter. Startup key combinations
If that doesn't help continue doing the steps from below:
1. SMC reset [4]. Shut down and unplug all cables including power cord for at least 30 seconds and then plug in power cord and keyboard/mouse.
2. PRAM reset [5]. Hold down option, command, P and R while booting. Start it when you hear the sound and don't let go before it reboots.
3. Safe boot [6]. Hold down shift while booting to boot into safe mode. If this works, open Disk Utility from Utilities and repair your permissions and verify the disk
4. Hardware test [7]. Insert the install disk (disk 1 in Mac which shipped with OS X 10.5.4 or earlier, disk 2 if shipped with OS X 10.5.5 or newer) and hold down "D" before the grey boot screen opens. Follow on screen instructions
5. Boot from install disk. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac. Hold C while booting. Select Disk Utility from top bar and repair permissions and verify the disk. Reboot normally and see if it works now.
6. Boot from another Mac (Firewire target disk mode). Connect the machines with a Firewire cable. Power on your Mac and press T. Select the other Mac's hard drive. Download the current OS X combo update. Run the combo update installer and select the drive that won't boot as the destination.
7. "Repair" OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and reinstall OS X. This should NOT erase any data, just replaces the system files which may have caused your booting problem. Now install the latest combo update for OS X and repair permissions on your drive with Disk Utility.
7.1. Install OS X into an external hard drive and then boot from it [8] and try to copy your data from the hard drive before proceeding. If you have done a backup recently, you don't have to do this.
8. Restore OS X from Time Machine backup. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac and choose the Time Machine restore option. This step will lose any changes made since your last backup but the system and your data will be put back to exactly as it was on that date.
8.1 Reinstall OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and select Disk Utility again. Now erase the whole hard drive and install OS X again. If you had a Time Machine backup and step 7 worked you don't have to do this.

I would like to send a form with the form fields locked but with the links still active. Any Ideas?

I'm new to creating fillable forms and I feel that this appoach would help to create HVAC proposals in quickly by editing a few fields within a PDF. I would like to then email the form that I created to my client, but I do not want them to be able to change the fields such as the cost of the job, yet I do want them to be able to open links that are embedded in the proposal. So far my approach has been to send them a flattened copy which essentially make the entire PDF stagnant. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

You can use the free selective flattening tool that's available here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

How can i change the Cursor for the hole frame?

there shouldnt be any compiler-error.
Post some code and we will help.

How i can fixup the cursor in the center of plot at any time?

i need the cursor show the data of the points in plot,but i found after the plot zoomin,the cursor can not show .how i can fixeup the cursor at any time?
thanks a lot.

Hi Longsan,
So I tried to reproduce the issue you were seeing and I believe I know what is going on. If you zoomin and the max and min of the axes are smaller than the cursor position, the cursor will no longer be in the viewing area of the graph. Therefore, you would want to reposition the cursor after you zoom in. For example, in Visual Basic you could use the command
CWGraph1.Cursors(1).XPosition to change the position. I thiss out and it seems to work correctly. Let me know if try this and you are still having trouble.

HT1386 I have an iphone 3G & MacBook Pro. Recently my iCal wont synch from phone to macbook but it will synch the other way round. Any ideas?

I have an iphone 3G & MacBook Pro. Recently my iCal won't synch from phone to macbook but it will synch the other way round. Any ideas?

Hi, have you been able to solve the problem? I'm struggling with the same thing. What is even more strange: When I sync from iPhone to MacBook it doesn't show the entry in iCal. When I then sync the MacBook (without having changed or entered anything on the MacBook) to the iPad the original event from the iPhone is transferred to the calendar on the iPad. It seems as if the MacBook transports the iPhone calender entry to the iPad but it doesn't show it on the MacBook at all. I've checked all the settings in iTunes, they seem to be alright, so I'm confused. It worked perfectely in the past.

TS3999 I see all of my calendar events in iCal and on my iPhone, but not in the iCloud web app. Any ideas why?

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

Try a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. That will reset the iPhone, but will not affect your data.
Thanks! It worked just fine!
