Cursor for text and other editing tools is too light to see

I have a new Macbook Pro Retina display running Mavericks.
When I use editing tools (like text, shapes, etc.) in apps like adobe acrobat, fireworks, and photoshop the cursor is so light grey that I can barely see it on the screen.
Does anyone know how to change the color or contrast of the cursor? Is it even possible?
This is impacting my productivity by at least 10%. Don't tell my employer or I might get fired.

hello... anyone out there?
where else can I get help from these companies that don't provide customer support?

  • Undoing Open Office being the default program for text and other files

    After problems with Power Point crashing down, I downloaded Open Office to save some files on my mac. thanks to Open Office I managed to save the content, but now Open Office seems to become default program to open word, ppt etc. files on my mac. How can I undo this?

    Change it from the Open With section of a document's Get Info window, and then use the Change All function.

  • HT5163 is there any difference in packaging of ipad air for india and other countries because i've not gotten a sim eject tool for my IPAD AIR? Plz help.

    Is there any difference in packaging of IPAD AIR for INDIA and other countries?
    because i didn't get any sim eject tool in IPAD AIR box.

    I believe it does vary depending on country.  A paper clip works equally well, so I wouldn't get too upset.

  • Search file for text and delete the found text.  How?

    I need to know how to search a file for text and delete the found text. I think grep will let you do this but not sure of the syntax.

    Hi Dmcrory,
       In addition to what Camelot and nobody loopback point out, one must also consider the fact that UNIX text tools are largely line based. You also fail to tell us for what kind of text you are searching. If you are looking for multiple words, there's a very good chance of finding the expression wrapped onto different lines. With hyphenation, even single words can wrap to multiple lines. Tools that search line-by-line will miss these unless you use multiline techniques.
       Multiline substitutions require that you write "read-ahead" code for the command line tool that you're using and that you take that into account in the substitution. Given how you want the results to be printed out, you may also want to preserve any newlines found in the match, which is even more difficult. That could bring up the subject of line endings but that's a completely different topic.
       I apologize if this sounds discouraging. Multiline searches aren't needed that often and in most of those cases, exceptions can be dealt with by hand. I just didn't want you to get surprised by it. To give you an idea of how easy basic substitution is, have a look at Tom Christiansen's Cultured Perl: One-liners 102 and One-liners 101. Both have some "in-place" substitution examples.

  • Make Text and Other Items Larger or Smaller - Default? (related to screen resolution)

    In Windows 7, when you go to set the screen resolution, there is a link to "Make Text and Other Items Larger or Smaller."  The default I've always seen is is "Smaller - 100%" in our deployments.  For some reason, after my new deployment that
    I'm working on, it is set to "Medium - 125% as the default."
    This changed when I imported the display drivers needed for the HP8440 laptop the deployment is going on. Before, Windows was just using a generic driver that maxed at 640x480 and the user had to manually install the drivers. Now that I've imported the drivers
    into the deployment, the default resolution is 1920x1200 as it should be, but this one last default is making it look like there is a smaller resolution.
    Is there any way, in the deployment, to set this option to "Smaller - 100%" as the default?
    This is what I am seeing after Windows loads for the first time:

    I get "Invalid syntax" when I try to run that. I've gone through the help on the REG command, and everything seems to be in order. I also opened CMD as administrator. I've tried some different variations on the command (quotes around the path, etc)
    but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
    You're getting an invalid syntax since it contains a space betweeen 'Windows' and 'NT' when using command lines, spaces will break the commands to be executed since it thinks that spaces are delimiters for syntax value's.
    REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontDPI" /v LogPixels /t REG_DWORD /d 0x60 /f
    Edit; The thread starter had success with using the following path instead "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop"
    It should work like it's written above using quotes around the entire path. Without the quotes you'll receive a syntax error. However unless the command is executed in an elevated command prompt you'll get an access is denied error. And finally the /f switch
    is required to override the entry without prompt, since if the command if executed in an elevated command prompt it will detect the current value and ask whether you want to overwrite it or not.
    P.S. I verified if it executes properly.
    Kind regards,

  • Different Ringtone Notifications for Text and Email

    I would like to assign different ringtone notifications for texting and email, and if possible, different ringtones for each of my two email accounts.  I need to see texts immediately, but not emails.  Am picking up the phone 50 times a day so I don't miss a text, critical to my work. Could do this on Bb Storm, but can't figure out on Incredible.  At a minimum, I would like to shutoff notification for email, and just get pinged for texts.  Thanks!!

    Well, 
    The default notification tone that you set in the Settings->Sound is for the default tone in the generic e-mail account and all other notifications.  If you use the Gmail client, you can set your own personal ringtone in it's settings (Menu->Settings).  In the messaging Application you can also set a custom notification sound from there as well (Menu->Settings)
    As for different e-mail accounts using the same e-mail application, I don't think that is possible with the in stock app...tho I am not totally sure I haven't use it like that before.
    Hope that helps!

  • My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • Need advice on computer for photo and video editing

    I do mostly routine stuff on my home computer (word processing, e-mails, internet, etc), except for photo and video editing (hobby, not professional)
    I'm upgrading my 4 year old set up, as it has 2 GB ram, dual core vs quad core, 256mb video card, etc, etc.  Better to buy a new rig than upgrade several different components.
    Costco has a pretty nice set up in the store (HPE 257 c-b), but for an extra $200, I can order online and get the HPE 170t, which is essentially the same except for 2 upgrades:
    -Radeon HD 5770 video card vs Radeon HD 5570
    -Two 1 TB 7200 hard drives vs one 1 TB 7200 hard drive
    My question is this.....is it worth the extra $200 to get the better graphics card and the dual hard drive set up?  Will it really make that much of a difference in the performance?  I'm thinking it will, especially the ability to set up the 2nd hard drive as my scratch disk.
    For what it's worth, both systems have the i7 860, 8 GB ram, and Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
    Thanks.

    In very general terms, the requirements for Video will exceed those for Photoshop (PS). If you are looking at PrPro CS5, then the video card WILL make a difference, and PS CS5 now takes advantage of the video card, than before.
    For PS, the minimum HDD setup would be a 2x system with physical (not partitions) HDD's. Video has more requirements in this area, and I would say that a 3x setup is the minimum. Do read Harm's linked article, as it is the best that I have ever run across.
    For the PS setup, just locate the Scratch Disks for PS on your extra HDD's, the ones with your Project and PrPro Scratch Disks.
    Enjoy the new computer, and welcome to the forum,

  • Why can't I delete or rename files in Word for Mac and other Office programs?

    When I try to delete or rename an Office for Mac file, I can't.  How do I delete/rename Word for Mac and other Office for Mac files?

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

  • After Effects & Premiere Pro CS4 users: Turn off "Make text and other items larger or smaller" (Win)

    I just made a brief blog post recommending that After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 users turn off the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" setting in Windows 7, since it causes some problems.
    Please use this thread to let us know whether this solved a problem for you or whether there are any problems with this solution.

    There isn't really an option to "turn off" the feature. Do you mean to say that it should be set to "Smaller - 100% (default)"?

  • 8.0.2 - problem 1 - unable to scroll screen when the keyboard is present. Huge problem for emails and other cloud based providers that allow for data entry. We need a fix ASAP!

    8.0.2 - problem 1 - unable to scroll screen down or up when the keyboard is present. When typing text, I am unable to see the text I am writing due to this problem. Huge problem for emails and other cloud based providers that allow for data text entry. While the keyboard is present, I am unable to scroll down to see the text, the screen automatically scrolls back up to the top of the screen. We need a fix ASAP!

    Have you tried resetting your iPad? You will not lose any data. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    For each mail account, along with designating a primary SMTP server, you should be able to just turn off any and all other SMTP servers you have listed.  In that case, if there is a problem with comcast, the message send should just fail.
    Also make sure your comcast smtp settings are correct (port, likely 587 but might be something else for comcast, whether you should be suing SSL or not, do you need authentication or not).
    You might find the comcast forums useful for getting the settings right - I found this:

    The second poster notes, SSL should be on, authentication should be "password" and you should be using port 995

  • What is the best All in One program for picture and video editing?

    Hello i am new to photoshop and would like to really make some fantastic photos and video for my family and friends. I want to add effects to video and Edit photos to the 10th degree. Can someone please recommend an Adobe program. Should i get CS4 extended should i get master suite? Also where can i watch Video Tutorials that start from the basic and lead to the complex. Thanks in advance

    What is the best All in One program for picture and video editing?
    There is no such thing. If there were, nobody would bother writing different applications. If you are primarily focused on still image editing and video, Adobe Production Premium is the way to go. You can find any number of tutorials just by searching Google and many good ones are linked from the Adobe help systems as well.
