Can't see my cursor in word

I had a visible cursor before I had mountain installed.  Now I can't see a cursor nor does my auto correction work.  Misspelled words are not underlined or indicated in any way.  Please help me!

Well I played around with it some and decided to reboot and eureka, everything reappeared.    Im a happy camper once again.

  • I reloaded my old iWorks 08 to my iMac's new hard drive. With a new Pages document, I can't see the cursor. You can type in text but it is in white only. Any thoughts?

    Hi. I lost my iMac's hard drive and had a new one installed. I reloaded my old iWorks 08 software and then transferred my Pages documents from a portable HD to the iMac. The files open but the original text in them (they are journals) are in white against the white background. Plus I can't see any sign of the cursor. I can hi-lite the text and change its colour but never to black. Plus the photos I inserted along side the text are barely visible, as if they had been badly faded.
    Any thoughts on this? Many thanks.
    Richard

    Richard,
    You must run Software Update and bring your old iWorks 08 to the latest release for compatibility with the current OS.

  • I can't see the cursor on the logon screen with my MBP when using it in bright sunlight.

    I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro with an anti glare screen.  I am running Lion 10.7.3.  
    It is being used in bright sunlight in southern greece very sucessfully apart from the fact I cant see the cursor on the logon screen to select the user I want to log in as. .
    Setting the cursor to a larger size using the universal access options works really well once I have logged in but at the moment I have to dash for the nearest shade to be able to see the screen to log in.
    Any suggestions?    A key sequence to swap between users on the logon screen would do (there are only two) 

    If you're using it in bright light, you may be getting sunlight through the back of the machine which can wash out the display.  The Apple logo on the back of the lid is actually a cut-out that uses the systems back light to make it glow.  Bright light (especially sunlight) can actually shine through the back.  As the users in the login are typically in the middle of the display, this is the area most likely to be washed out as that is where the Apple logo is.  You can try just putting your hand over the Apple logo on the back to block the sunlight when trying to log in.

  • MacBook Pro bought in August 2013 Black Screen and Can't See the Cursor

    I took the OSX update in the beginning of November and now when I lift up the lid of the notebook and press 'on' I get a black screen and can't even see the cursor.  I've tried pressing command + control + p + r.  I've also tried command + s.  Neither seems to fix this issue.  Are there any other suggestions to try?  Thanks in advance.

    Hi spartan220,
    If you are getting no video on your MacBook Pro, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Ipad keypad covers safari page so I can't see where cursor is

    With the iOS 7.0.x update I find that the keypad is "centered" higher on screen and blocks the text/screen beneath, so I'm having a hard time with entering text in boxes that are now effectively hidden behind keypad. Prior to the new software version, I remember being able to get the screen behind to scroll up or down, now it just seems to stay locked on the page? Does anyone know a setting that can make keypad smaller, or appear lower on screen? The only workaround I've found is to expand the screen to make to much larger (zooming out) and then sliding and swiping side to side to see a box where I'm entering info (like a password or username or filling in a form).  Very annoying.

    Found answer for orienting keyboard in the "more like this" section, worked!

  • Can't see preview panel in Word 10.8

    I have a new iMac running OX X 10.8.5.  I did not transfer files from my old computer (too many old files!). In mail, I don't have the third column that shows the full message so I have to double click to open and read each message. I've looked everywhere for how to establish this message viewer pane or column to no avail.  Can anyone help?
    Also, I've tried switching to Classic View and back and that didn't work.
    THANKS!
    Tamara

    I am having the exact same problem on my MacBook running 10.8.5 and it is really annoying the crap out of me. My iMac running on 10.9 does not have this issue though. I think it should be a preference option and not the system, but I just can't figure out how to get my email message viewing pane back! Anyone has a solution?

  • Help! Black screen but can still see cursor.

    Help my screen has gone black but I can still see the cursor. I have tried starting it up in safe mode but nothing. Help as all my children's photos are on it.

    Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

  • Can't see the text!

    Just installed Pages from iWork08. I start a new document, and I can't see the cursor or any text.
    After I type something (maybe it's white on white?), I can highlight the text (which comes out white with a light purple background), so it's there. But I can't change the color to anything meaningful. The format bar says I'm typing black on a white background, but no matter what I do, I get (I'm guessing) white on white.
    I have a version on my laptop at home that works fine. What's wrong with this picture??
    Thanks,

    A software update was the fix. Sorry for the confusion.

  • Can't see desktop

    I bought a mac mini with 20 inch Cinema display, a few weeks a go and it has been working fine up to now..
    Yesterday I woke it from sleep and would not come up. I restarted, and the display started up as normal, however, the OSX starting-up box seemed to complete faster than normal, then instead of showing the desktop or a log-in box, it shows a blue screen. I can still see the cursor and move it, but thats all.
    Have checked all cables, rebooted, changed PRAM, reinstalled OSX (archived mode). Have also connected the monitor to my G4 powerbook and it works fine.
    Appreciate any help to sort this out.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Thanks for this Wade - very useful, after a bit of programming I am back up again. Seems I had an "incompatable start-up item, that had to be reduced to a single user".
    Appreciate the help.

  • I can see I have mail, but I can't see the contents

    I am getting new mails but when I go into that mail to see the content, I can't see anything.
    Just empty.
    I can definitely see there is some word or sometimes attachment. I can not see those.
    Does anyone know how to solve this matter?
    Thanks you

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • How can I see the contents in a Ref Cursor

    I have this code:

    open out_RESULT_SET for

    10002 as PORT,

    from
    dual
    union
    select

    END Fetch_Log_Spec;
    END APOD_C3_LOG_API_PKG;
    And I am trying to test it like this:
    DECLARE
    IN_LOCAL_IP_VALUE BINARY_INTEGER;
    OUT_RESULT_SET APOD_LOG.APOD_C3_LOG_API_PKG.rc;
    BEGIN
    IN_LOCAL_IP_VALUE := 23374048;
    -- OUT_RESULT_SET := NULL; How do I see this
    APOD_LOG.APOD_C3_LOG_API_PKG.FETCH_LOG_SPEC ( IN_LOCAL_IP_VALUE, OUT_RESULT_SET );
    END;
    How can I see the dataset returnd by the OUT_RESULT_SET in SQLPlus or Quest ScriptRunner?

    A ref cursor doesn't really contain rows but you can use them to reference a SQL statement that fetches the rows.

  • I am trying to convert a file from pdf. I can't see it after I hit convert to word and view converted files. How do I know if I have a subscription? Adobe is on my mac dashboard.

    How do I tell if I have already paid for a membership? When I try to convert a pdf file to word, it looks like it is processing the task, but then I can't find the converted file when it says view converted file. Huh? Adobe is on my mac dashboard, I have had an account but can't see the results . . . thanks.

    Hi subscription question,
    I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.

  • How can I see cursor in twilight color scheme?

    I want to use twilight color scheme. (black background)
    It can be changed at Tools->preference->editor->syntax color
    but the cursor color is always black and I can't see it.
    Is there any way to change cursor color?
    Please, answer me.

    Is there any way to change cursor color?Yes, here's a blurb from the readme.html file included with JDeveloper:
    Unable to Change or Configure the Color of the Caret in the Code Editor
    Below is the workaround:
    In ide.properties, typically in $(JDEV_INSTALL)\jdev\system\ide.properties, edit the following properties to set the caret color:
         ceditor.CaretColorR=0
         ceditor.CaretColorG=0
         ceditor.CaretColorB=0
    The valid range for each component color is 0 to 255.
    (P.S. in the next maintenance release, you will be able to do this from the Tools > Preferences Dialog)
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a big problem, I don't know what I touched but when I open up my iTunes I can't see all the icons. The only icons showing are "podcast, iTunes U and Downloads" so in other words I can't find the movies, music etc. Which means I can't buy/rent!
