Apple lost its touch - Mouse Pointer Issues in iTunes 10........

So, I have noticed Apple has been getting lazy lately, which is unfortunate because Apple has always been known for its great products. I am becoming more reluctant to purchase any more Apple products for their recent flaws, such as the new iPhone 4 problems (Which I do have an iPhone 4, and think it is great) and most recently, iTunes 10.
iTunes 10 is why I am here today. I have noticed a really annoying bug with this new program. When I change a tag on a song, my cursor disappears. I have to click on another window or do some other trick just to get it back. Can Apple really not thouroughly check their programming? I have never had any problems with this company, but honestly I feel as they are slipping.
And I am sure their Customer Service will be slipping too, as I probably wont ever hear from them on my issue, but only time will tell.
So does anyone have any suggestions?

Can Apple really not thouroughly check their programming?
Yes.
I have not seen nor heard of this problem.
And I am sure their Customer Service will be slipping too, as I probably wont ever hear from them on my issue
Did you contact them?

HT201210 iPhone 4 lost its touch-screen-ability and created selection-boxes around apps

Why has my iPhone 4 lost its touch-screen-ability and created selection-boxes around apps, etc.. that require a double-tap to operate/execute?

VoiceOver is on. Triple-pressing the Home button may be set to turn it on or off.
Settings > General > Accessibility
While it is on, you need to use three fingers to scroll.

Hi, Can someone please tell me if an Apple ipod 4 touch is definitely compatible with itunes version 12.1 ? Thank you.

Hi,
Can someone please tell me if an Apple ipod 4 touch is definitely compatible with itunes 12.1 ? (The latest version)
I am using Windows 8.1 on an Acer laptop.
Thanks,
John.

Yes it is.
Connect the iPod to your PC then launch iTunes.
The iPod should be recognized.
If it's not available in iTunes, follow the instructions here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

[Solution] xfce 4.8:Lost titlebar.No mouse pointer.

Thought I'd post this because it just happened to me and couldn't find reference to it in the forums under "lost titlebar".
After the recent upgrade to xfce 4.8, I had the following 5 issues on my Dell D600 Latitude laptop:
1) First thing, I couldn't see my mouse pointer upon booting but if I moved it around on the desktop, I could see the icons lighting up when I supposedly went over them. Once I double-clicked on "File System", a window would open and I could see the old X terminal cursor.
2) I noticed there was no titlebar to what windows did open.
4) Another symptom was the "Window Manager" icon in "Settings" wouldn't open, which points to the problem -- the window manager isn't working.
5) Finally, I could open a terminal window but couldn't get the cursor to take a command. It just sat there.
The answer to all of this is the window manager isn't working which was kind of indicated by #4.
The solution is to open a terminal window, if you can, and type "xfwm4".
If your terminal isn't responding, as was my case, navigate to "/usr/bin" in your filemanger and double-click "xfwm4".
Hope this helps someone.

However I'd be more glad to solve the source of the problem - for me it is when logging off takes longer time (due to some process which do not respond to sigterm) so X get killed without saving session and opened programs - xfwm4 is amongs them - do not start next time. Also even when all programs close all right, still I am not able to get last opened apps to be opened next time. Currently dealing with this in this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112384
Good point about the problem stemming from X getting killed without saving session. That might have been what happened to me. This only happened on my laptop (my desktop runs same version of Arch and Xfce) which doesn't shut down properly when the battery runs out.
So that might have been what happened to me and I may see this again. (Edit: Yes. It happens everytime the laptop doesn't shut down properly. I now have a link to xfwm4 on my desktop to get everything working quickly until I find a solution.)
I'll keep digging.

Lenovo G550 - Keyboard/Mouse/Pointer Issues - PLEASE HELP Tech suppport couldn't.

I spent over an hour on the phone with Lenovo tech support last week to try to solve this issue and it is not solved. The guy had never heard of it and kept researching how to fix it. I personally have this feeling that it's a very very simple issue but I can't figure out how to correct it. I've changed mouse/pointer settings and it still isn't working. I love my new laptop in every other way but i'm getting so frustrated with it I'm ready to send it back because of the problem with the mouse/pointer. So if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it greatly.
I will be typing and out of nowhere the cursor will move to wherever the mouse is...or it will highlight everything I just typed and delete it. I've had to type much slower and keep moving the mouse but when i'm working on my projects and typing away and highlighting/editing, I get into the work and it's a pain in the rear when the cursor suddenly moves a paragraph up and I am still typing away and sometimes don't realize it until i've typed another two sentences. Hence the typing slower.
Today it deleted discussion posts I had typed up for my online classes before I had hit submit. Causing me to waste another 30 minutes trying to retype what I'd already done. I was ready to throw this laptop in the garbage.
I decided to not do that and post in this forum in the hopes that someone will be able to help me.
Thank you,
Komal

Mighty Mouse Lost its Touch Sensitivity

After cleaning the roller ball on my wireless Mighty Mouse its lost ability to have multiple functions. I reset my preferences and still no luck. I now have to set my mouse to only have one primary click for it to work at all. I think the thing is just broken, but maybe someone can help me out.

Sorry mate, don't know. But, if you have AppleCare on your Mac, realise that that warranty extends to most other Apple products that you use with your Mac. This includes your Mighty Mouse and Apple wifi devices if you had any. If you have AppleCare on the Mac, call up AppleCare and initiate a repair which would likely just turn out to be an exchange since they don't repair Mighty Mouse.
The number is 1-800-APL-CARE

Files/Folders Sticking to Mouse Pointer - Not Releasing (Reset PRAM & Apple Hardware Test Fail to Run)

I've been having two issues with my Late 2008 MacBook Pro 15-inch - Running OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). Unable to Reset the PRAM and Run Apple Hardware Test (AHT).
On a random basis - File/Folder icons are Sticking to the Mouse Pointer - Not Releasing. I've done everything from trashing finder preferences, making sure Universal Access preferences are off, Restoring Defaults in the Energy Saver System Preferences, Resetting the System SMC. Another post mentioned that this is being caused by the Graphics Driver not working correctly - and mentioned to put the MBP to sleep, then wake it up, and the files/folders are no longer sticking to the mouse pointer. This works for me and released the sticking items in the Finder.
OK, Good this is a simple fix, BUT, what is really causing this issue, and how may it be fixed or repaired?
I also tried to Reset the PRAM and Run the Apple Hardware test (AHT), and these both fail to run on my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5.
1) Resetting the PRAM:
Shut down the MBP, press the power button, and hold down at the same time <option><command>-P-R. The Reset PRAM process never starts up, but rather I receive the Padlock/Password Login which logs me into the Restore System Utilities. I'm unable to Reset the PRAM.
2) Apple Hardware Test (AHT):
Shut down the MBP, press the power button, and hold down the "D" key, the system boots up as normal and does not enter the AHT.
The File/Folder Finder sticking to the mouse pointer issue is very annoying. Does anyone have a solution to resolve this issue?
- Cheers

HI Barbara,
It sounds like the hard drive is failing or has failed. Boot from your Mac install disc and if you can run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairs.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode

Thank you for your response - I'll give it a go.
Also, just to update, my iMac cursor seems to glitch a little bit less now. It seems that at least ONE of my problems may have been caused by sitting my iPhone upon my WACOM tablet. The tablet must receive some sort of disruption from having my phone on it - and removing it seems to remedy a fraction of my mouse-jumping problems - if only for a meanwhile.
The mouse cursor still does jump around on its own occasionally, and the other mouse problems do persist - so this must not be the only culprit for my array of problems.

Do I have to report my lost ipod touch 4G. Its serial number is already registered with apple. Any help to find it will be apprecitated

Do I have to report my lost ipod touch 4G?. Its serial number is already registered with apple. Any help to find it will be apprecitated.

You can't track it with the serial number. If you had an iPod Touch running iOS 5 later AND set up Find my IPod on it, then there is a chance you might be able to locate it by going to www.icloud.com, logging in with your Apple ID and clicking Find my IPod. Of course, the iPod still needs to be on and connected to a Wi-Fi network in order for it to be located.
If nothing else, report it to the police and change any and all passwords to any accounts you set up or used on the iPod.
Apple otherwise cannot help you.

Mouse pointer has lost its place in the shapes list

Suddenly, my mouse pointer exhbits a mismatch of shape and current context.
Examples:
On the compose page of ASC, placed in the left or right margin, or anywhere from the to of the screen to the space below the grey bar of buttons that starts with the apple and ends with the search box, the pointer has the expected black arrow shape.
Hovered over Apple Support Communities, New, Your Stuff, History, Browse, or in the spaces along that line, it changes to a cross with centred dot similar to the drawn shape below:
Placed in or beside the formatting controls above the compose box, it returns to the expected black arrow shape, whether over the grey area or the cfomatting buttons.
In the text entry area, whe're back to the cross, very difficult to pick out on the page, especially when it's somewhere in the text.
The cross remains as I move the pointer down the page. There's a quick flash of the arrow to the left and slightly above the cross as the pointed moves downward across the word Categories, and across the words in the list of categories below, and from there to the bottom of the page.
The cross gets substituted for other pointer shapes as well—On Google Maps, the cross shows until I press the mouse button to grab the map, then changes to the enpected closed hand when I drag the map in any direction. In Sreet view, I get the arrowm the cross, or an I beam in the circle that indicates where a click will move the viewpoint, or a cross in the circle that indicates the center of a magnified view.
Questions: What's happening? How do I fix it?
Comments and suggestions apreciated.
Regards,
Barry
MBP with Retina, mid 2012, 2.3 GHz Core i17, 8 Gb, OS X v10.8.4 (12S55)

Hi Linc,
Thanks for the pointer. Neither of the Adobe plug-ins mentioned in the linked discussion are installed on my MBP; in fact the only one installed is the Google Earth We Plug-in.
In the meantime, the mouse pointer has gone back to behaving normally. The only significant action I can think of is that the MBP was shut down for a little over 10 hours today. I had restarted it a couple of times last night, but had not let it sit for any extended time.
Still a mystery.
Regards,
Barry

MBA Thunderbold port to VGA projector. Lost touch pad pointer.

I used a minidisplay port to VGA adapter in the thunderbolt port. The projector recognizes the MBA and I can see the display preference panel on the projector screen. On the MBA screen I have lost the mouse pointer, but can see it on the projuected screen. How can I adjust the MBA screen to use the touch pad?
Thanks

It sound like the calibration screen and the touch "focus" has been shifted to the "primary" display - which is the last added display adapter. I don't have the setup to test, but you might be able to fix by selecting the Touch panel as the primary display (maybe). You may be stuck because the USB adapter will always be enumerated as the last device.
Perhaps...
1) Plug in USB adapter to enable display.
2) Go into display options and select Touchscreen as Primary and make sure "extend desktop" is unchecked.
You may also be able to trick the system by going into DM and removing reinstalling the real primary display adapter.
If all fails, you should be able to unplug the USB device and use MS system restore to go back when it was working properly.
Of course, I am saying all this without having the hardware in front ofme. I've played around with mutiple displays enough to know that you get into some funny behaviour when you have two distinct video adapters installed in the system. The best multi-display solution are those driven from one adapter - one video card with an HDMI and a DVI for example.
If you figure this out, please reply back. I'd like to know if it is possible to keep touch while using another adapter.

Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

Will apple fix or replace my iphone 4 as the lock button is stuck and its a minor hardware issue ? Also if it was to be a replacement would it be a newer model as apple do not stock the 4 anymore ?

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
