Cursor disappears on new U430 Touch

I have a new U430 Touch, less than a week old. It frequently loses the cursor at startup/login. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the touchpad driver--no difference. To regain the cursor, I have to log off and back on, sometimes two or three times, or else restart. I see that others have had similar problems with other computers. Is there a real fix to this?

If your machine came with Elan touchpad, RMA it to get it changed to Synaptics as Elan's are crappy and known to cause problems. To determine if you have Elan or Synaptics, get to Device Manager, Mice and other pointing devices, click on the device there and check the manufacturer.

Difference between the New U430 Touch and the old U430

Bestbuy.com lists a new U430 Touch with 8 GB of RAM but a smaller SSD cache of 8 GB (instead of 16 GB) for $699. The old U430 can be had for $639.
Do you think it's better to buy the old U430 and just upgrade the RAM to 8 GB myself (at a cost of about $80)? Or will the difference in the cache size be negligible in terms of performance (namely boot up time)?
Also, does anyone know if the screen is the same? The old U430 screen seems slightly washed out to me. Thank you.

I also read that AMD knew they released the 965 C2 140W cpu with a memory stability problem
I'd like to know what you've been reading, because it certainly wasn't AMD techdocs.
What stability problem? You mean the fact that using 4 sticks of RAM means you have to slow the memory clock down? This has been a common 'issue' way back since the first AMD64 CPUs with built in memory controller.
Yes its true that ALL Phenom II CPUs natively only supported two sticks of RAM at 1333mhz. And its also true that AMD released a new Phenom II 965 CPU, with an improved memory controller, that allowed 4 sticks at 1333mhz. But this doesn't 'fix' any memory stability 'problem'. And its still better to run just two sticks in dual-channel mode. Read the sticky topic in the AMD64 areas.
If you've been reading otherwise, then I'd advise you no longer read that source, as they don't seem to know what they're talking about.

No sound from speakers on new U430 touch laptop

I just purchased a new Ideapad U430 touch laptop last week, but have never been able to get the speakers to work properly. Here's what I've tried so far: Checked sound settings to make sure speakers were not disabled.Updated the Realtek audio driver to latest version.Uninstalled and re-installed the Realtek audio driver.Ran tests through the the Realtek HD Sound Manager (speaker icons light up and test appears to run okay, but still no sound).Ran all available Windows updates.Tested headphone jack, and it always works fine.This has been the case since before I installed any software, so I doubt there are conficting issues there. Sometimes when I first start up the laptop, I'll briefly get a few seconds of scratch sound from the left speaker only. After a few seconds, it always cuts out and never comes back on until the next startup. I've never heard any noise from the right speaker. Here's what I'm running: Ideapad U430 touch running Windows 8.1. Intel i5-4200 processor, 8gb RAM, 64-bit.Driver: Realtek High Definition Audio 6.0.1.7133 Any suggestions? Since the sound does come out a bit scratchy and only from the left speaker, I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue.

What firmware version do you have? Latest version caused the left speaker to stop working randomly on my U430. Check the speaker wires connections if you're comfortable opening the laptop.

Cursor disappear when I try to move it

after restart my MacBook pro, I see the mouse cursor and I am able to move it. But when the setup is ready the cursor disappea. If I touch the pad wit two fingers , the cursor show up but disappear if I try to move it.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Brand new iPod Touch is not being recognized by my computer

Hello,
I just bought a brand new iPod Touch. I had iTunes installed since this is a replacement to a very old iPod. When I plugged my new iPod Touch to start the very first sync, iTunes crashed and started giving me a Windows 7 error (999). After many frustrated attempts to reinstall iTunes (and a few blue screens in between), I followed a recommendation in one of the postings to delete all the Apple programs in a certain order. It worked and I was able to reinstall iTunes. The problem now? My USB, which at one point kept asking for the software to install the iPod, won´t recognized it anymore. Period. I´ve rebooted several times and whenever I plug my iPod in any of the four USB ports, absoluletely nothing happens, as if nothing had ever been plugged in. I tested the USB with my blackberry and it recognized it. Please help!! Thanks!

Ok, I just figured out so I´ll post it here in case someone has the same issue. I turned off my iPod while connected to the computer. Afterwards, the "other" connection showed up again in the device manager but this time it stayed there without disappearing and with the exclamation point on. I then proceed with one of the instructions in this posting to install the driver for the apple mobile which then showed up in the USB section of the hardware (it was never there until now). Bingo! I got my iPod Touch to connect for the first time! But seriously, why should it be so hard???? I'm concerned with the number of postings here. It looks as if Apple is selling the hottest toys but not be the best ones in terms of quality...

New iPod touch issues. not recognizing in iTunes

i just got a new ipod touch and installed everything and itunes will not recognize the ipod. I went on support and tried what it said by holding down the sleep button and the home button at the same time until the apple appeared and then closing out of itunes and opening it up and plugging the ipod back in which helped it to recognize. the ipod then went into recovery mode and said it needed to be restored. Restoration began however, the connect ipod to itunes screen disppeared leaving a lit up and black screen and a window appeared in the "preparing ipod for restoration" stage that said "ipod could not be restored. an unknown error occured (1604). any ideas? oh and then the thing on the side that said ipod disappeared and it stopped recognizing the ipod again.

Welcome to the discussions,
Error 1604 points at a problem with your USB drivers/connection.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

Cursor disappears when using FF EpubReader--doesn't reappear with reboot.

I make ebooks for authors/publishers. I have them install FF with the EpubReader addon to proof first "drafts" of the epubs. One author, who has successfully used this method for two books, suddenly has no I-beam cursor whatsoever in the EpubReader frame. The cursor is an arrow when on whitespace on the EPR page; but when placed over text, the cursor disappears. Rebooting the computer has not helped, and it's now happening with all of her epubs in that FF & EpubReader installation. The cursor works fine in every other app.
Client is 1,000 miles from me, but does have a local tech guy who can assist if I can point him in the correct direction.
I really need help with this, there's no other viable way for my clients to proof these epubs.

"Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now" 
"Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies" 
 
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

U430 Touch and external monitors

Hi,
I am an absolute computer novice.
I have a new Lenovo U430 Touch laptop. I use it for traveling for work, but when at the office I would like to have bigger external monitors (preferrably 2).
What would be the best way to connect 2 external monitors to the U430 touch?
Thank you!

All I can think of is this if you want more than 1 monitor connected:
HDMI to 2 HDMI
[img]http://image.dhgate.com/albu_253065388_00-1.0x0/new-hdmi-cable-adapter-1-male-to-2-female.jpg[/img]
Then 2 HDMI to 2 DVI
[img]http://img.misco.eu/Resources/images/Modules/InformationBlocks/1210/SRH/SRH-2/202509-startech-hdmi-d...
It's messy but I can't think of anything else that would work.

Cursor disappears except near dock (right side) OS 10.6.8, 27" Intel iMac. Started this morning.

This morning my wireless mouse needed battery replacement. After that, the cursor disappears as I move it away from the dock area. If I move over buttons and am lucky, the proper action will take place but I cannot see the cursor. Sort of like playing Battleship game. Blindly move the mouse and hope I hit something. Although this is new this morning, I've had the same problem in the past but it went away. It seems worse or much more annoying this morning.My wired mouse displays the same problem. I had to borrow my wife's laptop to send this problem. The only program open is Safari. I did a restart hoping to clear the problem but no dice.

I tried the safe boot and it solved the problem. What is a Safe Boot? Where can I learn more about it and when to use it? Will the problem be gone when I do a normal boot? I read elsewhere that someone thought that F10 would solve the problem but it did not for me. I read also that someone upgraded to Lion and still had the problem.
I am still using Rosetta because I use Eudora (I know, a diosaur) and at one time had a suspicion that Eudora is involved but this morning, I had the problem after a restart and Eudora was not active.
I'd really like to know what Safe Boot is intended for. Thanks for the help

Cursor disappears when using Photoshop, anyone else?

My cursor disappears when using Photoshop, I have to leave the program to get it back. Happens constantly since installing 10.8.3.
Was fine for years, until I upgraded my OS

NEW, 1ST TIME POST
I'd like to see some real effort on the part of Apple to 1) address the issue and 2) post a fix.
I've been using the same equipment for several years (27" iMac and a Wacom Intous4). Everything was lovely until 'upgrading' to the latest OS… The cursor dissappears at will. I can NOT predict the event, only that I have only found it occurring in Photoshop.
Contacted Wacom. No help there.
I got VERY tired of having to close PS to get the cursor back. My tablet is hard-wired and my keyboard is an Apple wireless. Of course, w/o a cursor, how are you going to click on anything… Keyboard worked, but not the Wacom. Finally got out my wireless [Apple] mouse, fired it up, and used it as a 'backup' (for crashing my way out of PS). The mouse never interferred with operation. THOUGHT it was a Wacom problem, because I've yet to create the event with a normal mouse. I admit I rarely, RARELY use a mouse. Seems that I can't draw with a rock…
Aggravated by the lack of interest across the board, I discovered quite by accident one day a work-around: flip to a different desktop and then right back. Voila. Cursor is back. I've got 4 desktops available, so it is a quick CTL + arrow. My work-around works for me WITHOUT FAIL. Pay attention Apple/Adobe/Wacom. Apparently something here is refreshing whatever and solving the problem. Until the next time, of course.
Apple - Adobe - Wacom, please don't think we're 'satisfied' and we'll fix it in the NEXT mulit-thousand dollar computer/OS/tablet purchase. I love the products, but with this latest OS, you have a perfect storm of bugs (don't ask me about dropping the Internet DAILEY, s-l-o-w to non-existent blutooth connectivity, new 3D weird actions or [insert drumroll] 'THE CLOUD').
Call any of those listed and get ready for a raft of denial and finger-pointing. I admit, you quickly find yourself somewhere like the Phillipines or India, trying to talk to someone who can't converse with you in you own language, but that is NOT the fault of us, the end-users.
Finally: 'Caps lock'? Please. Give the guy SOME credit. Maybe the light was burnt out on the keyboard?
C'mon. Get with it guys!! Denial mixed with 'passing the buck' is not an answer. And you want MORE MONEY out of me?????
I agree with lkooz, break out the Beseler — I'll get the trays ready…

How to make the cursor disappear?

In a graphic screen the cursor should not be visible. What can I do in order to make the cursor disappear? Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance.

for a GUI
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(new java.awt.image.MemoryImageSource(16, 16, pixels, 0, 16));
Cursor transparentCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(image, new Point(0, 0), "invisiblecursor");
frame.setCursor(transparentCursor);

Liquify Cursor disappears when Saving and Loading Mesh (CC 2014.2.2)

Hello.
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 for Mac on a perfectly built hackintosh (Yosemite, i7-4770K, GTX770, Intuos5 L, 32Gb RAM, 2 monitors).
The arrow cursor disappears randomly when dragged over the Save Mesh or Load Mesh dialogues. It's not that the arrow cursor disappears completely. Actually, instead of switching from liquify cursor to arrow cursor as it should, it stays a circle and I can see it behind the save/load mesh window. In order to make the arrow appear in front of the save/load mesh, I have to move it out of it, and carefully move it back in. If I drag the save/load mesh window to an area of the screen clear of the liquify filter window or to my second screen, the problem goes away.
Also, when liquifying, the cursor is a little laggy, like at a low frame rate and behind my pen. I can liquify with no problem, but I can't remember if this is the way the liquify cursor behaves now that the it is GPU accelerated.
All these problems go away if I disable "use graphics processor", but that's a no go for me. I have tried both OS X Default Graphic Driver and NVIDIA Web Driver, but it makes no difference.
Any ideas?
THANKS!

I've noticed it happens particularly when the arrow touches any of the text input fields, among other ways I haven't identified yet. The save mesh and load mesh are the only dialogs across Photoshop on which this problem happens.
Notice that the blue cursor drawn by me is where the cursor should be, and note that the liquify cursor can be seen behind the open mesh dialogue. In this case I have to draw the cursor outside of the open window, and drag it back in making sure I don't touch the search field.

Cursor disappears when writing text?

I have a frustrating problem in CS3 that when writing a block of text, either with text tool or area text tool, that the cursor disappears. I need to see its new position after using the space bar or tab: ready to input the next piece of text.
It seems to be flashing some of the time if I click into the middle of the text block, but disappears where I want to continue it at the bottom of the text block?

This bug is still in Illustrator CS5
And it depends on aplication main window size!
Especialy if you have two monitors, document window is outside the main window and main application window is not maximized.
If you have application window smaller, than document window (in height), then where document height is still bellow application window height,
there you can see cursor. If you are editing text in position which is over the main application height, there is not cursor visible.
So, my solution is:
Resize main application window to the maximum size.
(And maybe you will need restart Illustrator)
(UPDATE: It depends on window width too! )
