My cursor does not disappear when watching full screen movies

I have a rMBP running Mountain Lion, everything is up to date. Like I said when watching full screen videos my cursor arrow does not dissapear. I am new to OSX so is this normal or do I have my settings set up wrong. Its not a huge deal, just getting more annoyed with each video, thanks for your help.

I have the same problem, but in addition, if the cursor doesn't disappear completely the video control menus stay glued to the bottom of the full screen.  I may have to switch back to my pc to watch.....

  • No sound when watching full-screen movies or TV shows in iTunes after update to 11.1

    After updating to iTunes 11.1, any full-screen movies or TV shows I try to play on my Thunderbolt display with my MacBook Pro have no audio. If I plug in speakers or headphones, I get audio, just not from the Thunderbolt display. Audio works fine from MBP.
    Weird thing is, if I plug in other speakers or headphones and then *unplug* them, the Thunderbolt display's speakers start working again. Every time you start a new show or movie, though, you have to do this again after the full-screen video opens on the display.
    Really weird. I obviously suspect i has something to do with the 11.1 update to iTunes 'cause audio works just fine through the display for iTunes music and other content and for the web and all other apps and games, whether they're in full-screen mode or not.
    Keep checking Software Update hoping to see that "1" badge pop up on the App Store, lol.
    Anyone else experienced this?

    Thanks allen222! I've been banging my head against this issue as well - glad to hear it's fixed in Mavericks - was planning to upgrade shortly.

  • Cursor does not change when hovering over pop-up window link

    I created a text link for a pop-up window. The link does work, but the cursor does not change to a pointy finger, the standard link icon.
    I don't know a lot of javascript, but can figure it out if it's just adding some code.This was done in CS3. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the code:
    function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
      window.open(theURL,winName,features);
    Thanks in advance.
    Todd

    A link would be nice but I suspect that you are not gettign the finger (you knwo what I mean) when you roll over the link because your href is  not set to anything.
    <a href="" onclick=MM_openBrWindow('images/image.jpg','largeDisplay','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=100,height=120')
    Set your href to "#" or "javascript:;" - the latter is preferred.

  • Flash does not work correctly in full screen after most recent Firefox update

    == Issue
    ==
    Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
    == Description
    ==
    Yesterday, firefox updated itself automatically. The "what's new" screen suggested that I update Flash immediately, so I did. I had a little trouble. I eventually uninstalled Flash and re-installed with the latest version, but it is now up to date. Now flash videos will not play properly in full screen. The picture will freeze for a few seconds with the audio still playing, the screen will go blank, then the video will restart from where the audio was when the screen went blank. Sometimes Flash will crash completely and I will have to reload the page to restart the video, even not full screen. Other times I get an error message that my video driver stopped working. I have checked and my video driver is up to date.

    I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
    something like
    Installation complete, restart your browser.
    I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
    I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
    But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
    I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
    I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
    And Full Screen is fine.
    I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
    So did a System Restore once more.
    Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
    I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
    I do hope this is figured out soon.
    With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
    Good Luck to us all.

  • Mail does not scroll while in full screen!

    When on full screen mail just ignores the fact that there's more stuff (text, pics...) in the email and does not scroll down. No bar on the side, no scrolling with arrows, touchpad or space bar is working. When I bring it back to a smaller size or just open the email in a sparate screen it works OK.
    Not a huge issue, but an irritating one, wonder if this is happening to anyone else? and if anyone has a good fix to it?
    Thanks

    the release notes say it has issues in non-interactive mode,
    I'm using doing :
    stage.displayState =
    StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
    Is there maybe something else I need to set to full screen
    interactive? I know I saw somewhere that the person was setting the
    htmlLoader's stage to full screen interactive. I tried that but it
    did nothing.
    I have the window style set to "system chrome". I tried
    transparent and no flash sites worked(full or normal screen) and
    opaque worked the same as system chrome.

  • How Can watch full screen movie from my Ipad to my tv ?

    Hi...When I am conecting my ipad to tv for watching movie ,which is downloaded from itunes ,I am not able to have full screen in my tv .Can I watch moviw from my ipad to tv in full screen ?

    Sync it to your computer:

    You'll need to do that to burn it to a DVD, and a sync via iTunes is probably the most direct method.

  • Cursor in Safari disappears when watching Flash Content

    This problem persists since the last 3 versions of Safari - problem is: When you come over a site which displays Flash Content (for example www.flickr.com slideshows) after a short time the mouse cursor completely disappears - hovering over the menus seems to indicate, that you can click but since the cursor is not showing it's hard to identify, where you are. Workaround is to switch to another application, there the cursor is visible and you can quit the browser (Safari, Chrome ...)
    The latest Flash Plugin is installed, i tried this on different browsers (Firefox, Chrome ...) - it's always the same problem.
    I don't want to deinstall my Flash Plugin because there are a lot of sites which are not viewable without the Flash-Plugin - i've been reading lots of discussions here in the Apple Support Communities but there is no fix - the first entries were made about 2 years ago.
    Maybe someone has found a fix now.
    Thanx & Greetings from Austria

    Hello Z:
    There is a new flash release (10. something). If you have not done so, you might try that.

  • Contact Form - initial text does not disappear when filling in

    Hi! I asked some friends to test my site on various devices, and a couple said that when filling in the contact form, the initial text that's there did not disappear like it should, so when they typed their name for example, it was written over top of the text that says "Your name". This happened on the Kindle Fire HD in both the mobile and full site, from the Galaxy S3 in full site mode, and someone else using Android. Here's the link to my contact form:
    http://www.supercoolmedia.com/contact.html

    Hi;
    In the PDF the help text appears when you mouse over the field for 1-2 seconds, there isn't a "?" icon in the PDF.

  • Mouse disappears when is full screen

    i am on 2 screens, when i put the laptop in full screen while watching a vid, the mouse goes after i click a few time on the other displays?

    *edit
    Found workaround for this problem on web.
    1. right click on itunes on your desktop and go to properties.
    2. click on compatibility tab
    3. check box for "Disable display scaling on high dpi settings and apply.
    You will get a warning when you open itunes now that display settings are now set to an older version or something like that but just hit ok....and now full screen video! Probably isn't quite as clear as it should be if apple fixed this problem (I mean come on I know there have to be a ton of us out here that use large lcds or plasmas as our monitors so why its not fixed beats me) but hey at least it works in fullscreen mode this way. The major problem with this workaround is that it makes it quite hard to see text and other things in itunes store because they are now quite small. So what Ive had to start doing is keep it on normal settings while I go into itunes, and do my searching and renting and buying videos, then close it, make the changes of the workaround and then reopen it so that I can watch in fullscreen. Yeah its a pain but it works.

  • Screen goes to sleep when watching full screen video in browser

    Hey,
    On my MacBook Pro, with Mavericks, I often watch MLB.tv, WWE Network or even Youtube videos on full screen. Since upgrading to Mavericks, my screen goes to sleep after the normal amount of time based on my power settings in the system preferences. In previous versions of OS X, if i had a video on full screen, whether it was with Quicktime, VLC, Safari, Chrome, etc. the screen would never go to sleep.
    Is there a way to prevent this from happening other than just changing how long it takes for the screen to time out?
    Thanks.

    I think you may want to point this out to Apple… it sounds like an oversight.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Can you set a 'hot corner' to disable the screensaver activation? It's less than ideal but it could save your sanity - just slide the cursor into the corner.
    Hot corners should be available in the Desktop & Screensaver section of system preferences. I'm on another OS at present and may be mis-remebering an eariler OS feature.

  • Movie sound not working when in full screen

    So when I go to watch a movie in full screen the sound stops working. Maybe it's the new itunes update?

    Good that you solved your problem. There will probably be other users that need to solve the same problem and your solution might help many others. The support here comes from users helping other users.

  • When viewing full screen video in netflix watch instantly, the picture freezes while the audio continues streaming

    When watching full screen video in firefox the picture freezes and the audio continues streaming. I had at first thought this was limited to netflix but now see the same problem when viewing flash video sites. Once the picture freezes the computer has to be rebooted. This only happens in firefox. Explorer streams perfectly in fullscreen. The problem began after updating to firefox 3.6 as I had no problems prior to that.

    For some reason the plugin container is causing some wierd stuff. I didn't know you could have more than one instance of task manager open. while this bug occurred, I had 15 task managers open. So somehow this plugin container is doing soemthing funky with the windows system. I'm the same poster as the last 2 post

  • When watching a video, often the Press Esc to return line in the middle of the screen does not disappear. What can I do to remove it?

    Often when watching a video, TV show on ABC or Hulu Plus, after going to the full screen, the Press Esc to return line in the middle of the screen does not disappear. What can I do to remove it so it does not detract from the viewing?

  • Cursor does not change to a circle when using eraser

    Cursor does not change to a circle when using the eraser.
    I'm sure it must be a tick box somewhere.
    Its always been ok previously.

    I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
    1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
    2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
    3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
    4. Click ok.
    Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
    P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.
