Cursor turned into a cross

My cursor turned into a plus sign and when I try to select something in it it spazzes. I'm having trouble working with it.

I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a General Failure box stating 'The system cannot find the file specified' yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a box stating
General Failure. The URL was "http:// etc etc".The system cannot find the file specified.

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

My cursor turns into a revolving rainbow disk. How do I repair this problem?

My cursor turns into a revolving rainbow disk and remains frozen in that state. The only way I can "unfreeze" the disk is to turn off the computer and reboot. What is causing the problem and how do I fix it without rebooting?

Thomas,
What you are referring to is called the Spinning Beach Ball of Death and can be caused by many things. One of the most prominent is a lack of RAM. Keep Activity Monitor open (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and the next time you have a SBBOD take a look at AM and see how much Free RAM you have. You will find this information under the System Memory tab. As a general rule of thumb if it's less than 500MB you probably need a RAM upgrade.
You can also read and apply information from the Spinning Beach Ball of Death article.
Also did you know you were posting in an iMac forum?

Cursors turn into cross-hairs sometimes.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS4. My pen tool and paint brush tool cursors turn into hard-to-see cross-hairs sometimes. It makes my work more difficult and strains my eyes and give me a headache. How does it do that in the first place and how do I fix it?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I had no idea what was doing it! Give yourself a cookie or something for me!

Mouse cursor turned into beach ball

Within my son's user account, the mouse cursor has turned into the beach ball. It doesn't spin and he can use it normally as a cursor (both with apps and with the Finder), but it's annoying (and too big for a cursor tip).
Who can help me out?
Thanks a lot
Peter

As far as I know, mighty mouse software (in System Preferences If I am not mistaken) allows one to bring customisations to the cursor used.
There is a "haxie" program also called "Mighty Mouse" that does this, hyphen. Its not the same thing as the Mighty Mouse System Prefs panel, though.
THe Universal Access System Prefs will let you change the SIZE of the cursor, but not the shape.
This has got to be a .plist issue in the User's Library Prefs folder of some kind I would think.
Cheers
Rod

My cursor turns into a erasure point randomly.

My cursor will randomly turn into a erasure so wherever I drag it, it erases the on screen image. It shows the gray hatched screen of the log in page under
what it erased. It will not function to open links or perform any other commands. Restarting the MBP solves the problem but only a matter of time before it happens again. Took to Genius Bar but since it was not doing it at the time they said to just document it when it happened again.
Thanks

When the issue occurs, do you have any peripherals connected to your computer?
Mac OS X (10.4.6)
Use Software Update to update your os to 10.4.11 and anything else that needs to be updated. Afterwards, repair permissions and restart your computer. If the issue returnes with no peripherals attached to your computer, take the computer right back the repair shop.

Cannot Click on Links from Received Email

My mother-in-law sent me a few forwards with links (ironically, about how poor Leopard is with security and a few other Leopard issues). I installed, unfortunately, Leopard and since then, have not been able to click on links that are in email I received. It worked before with the Tiger version of Mail. Help anyone??

I recently installed Leopard and then upgraded to 10.5.1 - message reads Safari cannot be used on this system. The Safari is still version 2.0.4 despite this upgrade.
Consequently I am having to use Firefox.
As the default for opening hyperlinks in Mail is Safari - anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

Cannot click on link in Firefox but can in IE

I cannot click on a link in Firefox, but I can in IE. The website is:
http://www.dailydealhunt.com/more-deals/huntresults.php?city=Boston&submit=Pull+the+Trigger++
The link I'm trying to click is the "Buy Now" image
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The first time I opened the site

For a description of web standards see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_standards
Microsoft, through Internet Explorer, have introduced many additions to the standards. Those additions are frequently not supported in other browsers. This means that web sites can be written with code that works in Internet Explorer but will not work in other browsers.
On the other hand, Firefox has been built to comply with web standards, so some sites will not work in Firefox if they are poorly written.
The daily deal hunt site does not follow web standards and has some code that does not work in a browser such as Firefox or Chrome. This will be something that the owners of the site will need to fix if they want their site to work in all browsers.

How did you create the PDF document? Adobe Reader can't create PDF documents.

When clicking on a link within a pdf nothing happens. When I mouse over the link the cursor turns into a finger/hand with a W at the bottom.

Both Adobe and Firefox are on the lastest versions. Clicking on the link deosnt bring anything up.

Does this only happen if you open the file embedded in Firefox and not when you open the external Adobe Reader (Tools > Options > Applications) ?

Does Yosemite have a sticky finger? Screen freezes, but arrow cursor turns into a hand with a page stuck on its finger.

It just started freezing after the update.

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

How Can I extract pages from a PDF document into a separate document by clicking a link?

Hi,
I have created a large PDF document with several pages, I have a link symbol on the contents page of the document that relates to several services on different pages within the document. Currently they are identified by having the same link symbol on every page that relates to that particular service. I was wondering if there was any way in which I can create a interactive pdf, when I click the initial symbol link on the contents, it collates all the relevant linked service pages into a single document or guides the viewer to all the pages without having to create a separate pdf document for each service?
Many thanks
Yunus

Simple answer - no. PDF files cannot reassemble themselves into new documents, nor can you hide pages.

On my work pc only, I cannot click on links in the upper part of the screen while using firefox. This "dead area" affects only about the top 20% of the page, while below that I can click on all links.

This does not happen on my laptop computer or on any other program my work computer runs.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Letters turned into symbols?

I pressed something while typing and all of the letters turned into their respective symbols as if i typed them while holding 'option'. I'm also typing in the symbols and undo isn't solving the problem. Any ideas?

I ran into the exact same problem. Drove me crazy!
But I finally found a solution
Here's what I did (the steps below are under the assumption that the font with an issue/problem is inside your Users folder)
Close all iWork applications (Pages, Numbers, Keynote)
Launch Font Book (in Applications folder)
Right-click "User" on the left sidebar.
Select "Disable User" (may take a few minutes to compelete)
Right-click "User" on the left sidebar again.
This time, select "Enable User" (will take longer than the disabling step in #3).
Launch any iWork application and your font will be working properly again (no more gibberish characters!). Let me know if this works for you
