Cursor keeps disappearing while using Safari
While using Safari the cursor/arrow will randomly disappear. I have to move the cursor/arrow beyond the Safari page and click on the desktop somewhere to make it reappear. This was happening on my MBP 15" for the last few months, now it is happening on my Mac Pro. Any suggestions on how to fix this?? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across that way.
I was just trying to suggest turning them ALL off to see if that helped.
If things were way better, the user could put one back at a time, which
would find the culprit.
Sorry, all this Flash stuff and suspicions of evil doing somehow
caught up with me.
ANYway, It's cool that you're making progress.
If your cursor doesn't disappear in other apps, like word processing or email,
it' probably not your mouse, either -
Mouse pointer will sometimes disappear
mouse pointer will sometimes disappear
I think dissapearring mouse cursor has been a bug since 10.4. happens to me every day regardless of whether i am using a computer with more than one screen or not, and regardless of the mouse being used. I agree that the problem has gotten much worse with 10.8, with both wired and non-wired devices.
after much research and thousands of dollars invested in different mouse softwares, input devices, and monitors, I have determined that old simple wired input products are better. wi-fi is getting worse. the less amount of monitors are better. apple brand input products are the worst, but more importantly, are not entirely at fault.
I would suggest anyone suffering from disapearing cursors, that are not wifi, bluetooth, battery, monitor, software, web browser or website related, contact apple and complain. lots.
personally, I think this is a marketing bug, eventually apple will be entirely touch based, the only true method of eliminating mouse disapearance is to eliminate mouse and cursor altogether. to assist that future of marketing, bugs like this will proceed to worsen. -
Cursor / window disappears with rxvt-unicode + xcompmgr + Xft font
The issue described in this thread is still outstanding for a number of users.
It seems to boil down to this: when using rxvt-unicode with xcompmgr and an Xft font (Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, and Terminus were among those tested), the terminal cursor will disappear. Typing some text and pressing backspace will cause it to reappear.
Furthermore, the entire window sometimes disappears when switching workspaces in Openbox. Repeated workspace switches or minimizing / restoring the window (via a panel, such as tint2) can make it reappear.
A workaround is to set URxvt*cursorUnderline in ~/.Xdefaults, but some users prefer a block cursor.The suggestion of installing libxft-lcd was made. I did so, commented-out the URxvt*cursorUnderline line in ~/.Xdefaults, logged out of X, and restarted slim from tty1.
% ldd /usr/bin/urxvt | grep Xft
libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x00007fd35f179000)
% pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libXft.so.2
/usr/lib/libXft.so.2 is owned by libxft-lcd 2.2.0-1
After restarting slim, the problem persists. After rebooting, the problem still persists.
xterm does not exhibit this problem, nor does emacs. I use both programs with libxft and blinking block cursors, and they both work as expected. This seems to be an issue with running rxvt-unicode in combination with xcompmgr. From my POV, it doesn't seem that intel drivers are to blame, but I suppose I wouldn't rule them out.

My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
thanks.
Sorry my bad Inglês.Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
If that does not improve try a restore

Why does my cursor keep disappearing on Firefox (and nothing else) when it's not being moved?
If I'm not moving the cursor it disappears entirely, which is highly annoying. It only does this on Firefox, nothing else. It went through a permanently flickering period before this, too.
Thanks for the advice, AmazingBeast - I think that probably would have worked. I isolated the problem eventually to a particular web page I'd been using a lot and had kept open. Once I closed it everything was fine again, although it means whenever I want to look at that page I have to put up with the Disappearing Cursor!

Mouse cursor sometime jumps down
I have ThinkPad Yoga 20CD0-038. If I use OneLink Dock, my mouse cursor sometime jump to down or down-right and sometimes makes a click or right-click. I have two OneLink Dock and two different mouse. It is the same when the mouse is connected to USB in Yoga and to USB in OneLink Dock. It is very annoying, I'm going crazy from it :-(
Hi,
I have the same problem as well. I don't think it's related to the mouse hardware at all- on mine the mouse curser stays in the same position but Photoshop registeres is elsewhere! If I let go (of holding the mouse button), the mouse is still where I left it. I've had this problem since Photoshop CS4 x64 but the problem still happens on Photoshop CS5 x64 (it was fine at first but after about a month of use now CS5 has started having the same problem).
I've had the problem for a while (almost a year now) and is really annoying! I dont have any tablets, and I've changed my mouse a few times. I am using a laptop with Windows Ultimate x64. It only happens in photoshop, it's fine in Adobe InDesign.
Hopefully someone might come up with a solution!
Thanks to anyone who can help me/us -
Why does my cursor keep disappearing in the Google search bar?
When using FF or Google Chrome, I've noticed that my cursor keeps disappearing when using the Google search bar. I've tried using all the about:config tips, I've downgraded to earlier versions, I've pressed F7, I've unchecked the "hide cursor while typing" option in my mouse properties, I've checked for driver updates, I've tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, and I've checked another computer in our home as well. Same thing there. This seems to have become a problem in the last few days. IE seems unaffected by it. Just FF and Chrome.
No sir, there are no other tabs open, when it happens. For now, I've found a workaround, and I invite you to test it yourself.
I've been working on this problem all day. I've noticed that the cursor blinks very slowly in the Google search bar. If you press a key while the cursor is blinking "off", it will stay off until you let go of what key you're pressing. Conversely, if you press a key while the cursor is blinking "on", the cursor will remain visible as you type.
In IE, the cursor blinks much more rapidly, and blinks more "on" than "off." As a result the cursor remains on, no matter what you type or when, or what key you press, including the spacebar. This is not the case in FF or Chrome.
It was suggested in the Google forums that disabling "autocomplete" has helped with this problem. I followed the instructions and successfully disabled the "auto-complete" feature on Google. When I did that, I immediately noticed that the cursor blink speed doubled, like what I'm used to seeing. Further, no matter what I did, the cursor did NOT disappear anymore.
The link for google with autocomplete disabled is http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0
Go there and see if you notice a difference in the blink speed of the cursor. On my computer, the difference is drastic. While I do enjoy "auto-complete" and will miss this feature, I generally don't rely on it, and much prefer a consistent cursor.
I greatly look forward to your feedback on this. If you figure out a way to have Google work normally without this workaround, I will be forever in your debt. -
Brush Cursor Disappears while Enlarging It
The brush cursor is visible while the brush size is small, but upon enlarging it, it gradually disappears, section by section, until it completely disappears and i cannot tell what i am painting or cloning. I have messed around with the preferences, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Phil
This sounds like an old problem, fixed a while ago, by nVidia.
Visit the nVidia web site and download the latest drivers for your video card. Hopefully it's modern enough that they'll have new drivers for it that will solve your problem.

Desktop files are sometimes disappearing.
When I start my computer my desktop files are sometimes disappearing and when I tell the computer to organize the desktop they will return. I have been using Mac's for 15 years and never have I had this problem until I updated to OS X Mountain Lion. Can anyone tell me how to fix this. Is it possible this problem is because I use two monitors?
Thank you for any help.
MarkPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -
My cursor keeps disappearing when I'm working with Photoshop on my iMac. In order to get the cursor back, I have to ALT+TAB out of Photoshop and then come back.

I got my iPhone 5 almost a month ago and updated its iOS but from there on I started having problems, the ph sometimes doesn't respond at all to the touch or apps start to open on their own very rapidly and this continues till it can go no further!
First steps in troubleshooting:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)
