Flash 5.5 cursor disappears on iPad

Hello: I just upgraded to Flash 5.5. When I compile for iOS my cursor disappears. I'm using the following code. It worked great when I compiled it on 5.0 but it stopped working with 5.5. Please help.
player3.x = stage.mouseX;
player3.y = stage.mouseY;

Yes, it works on the desktop.

When using any flash website my cursor disappears.

When I open any webpage with any kind of flash website and I click on anything, the cursor disappears. Therefore making me move my cursor off the webpage to get it back on the screen. This makes it impossible to play any games or quickly access certain webpages. Please help!

I only have this issue with certian flash websites. I am able to play games on the games sites I have visited fine, and most flash works fine.
However on Hulu.com, after loading a flash video, I notice that when I scroll down the page to look at comments, the cursor simply disappears. I can find it again when I mouse off the page. It happens consistently on hulu after I have unflashblocked a video. (I use the flashblock addon.)
Just now I went to hulu and the mouse disappeared and froze for 5 seconds when the page loaded. I had created a Guest Account but apart from this I am not able to replicate the terrible behavior with firefox/flash/hulu, but I have not spent much time using it. I don't know if Flash Block has anything to do with this behavior.

Cursor disappears when a video using Flash is in Safari

Hello,
My cursor disappears whenever I'm on a web page (using Safari) that uses Flash for video. It is 100% repeatable on any Flash/video website. On my other machine (an iMac running Snow Leopard) this does not happen.
If you would like to see what I'm talking about, as an example, go here:
http://vimeo.com/
Let the page load so that the "introductory" video can play. While it's playing, move your cursor anywhere on top of the video that's playing and watch it disappear. It's hard to find it again.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
(I'm using a MacBook Pro. Operating system is 10.7.1 Lion. All software updates are complete. The battery is charged, the computer is turned on, and it is plugged into electricity. I did a search of this forum and found one other question regarding this same topic, but nobody had answered it.)

The behaviour I get is that if the cursor is left on top of the video, it disappears after a second or two. As soon as I move the mouse or trackpad, it reappears. Which is exactly what I would want to happen. Perhaps when you are "waking up" the cursor you are doing so with a large random movement of the trackpad? It only takes the slightest movement to make it reappear more or less where you left it.
There is, of course, always the option of parking the cursor somewhere else on the screen where you will not lose it.

Word 2011 for Mac Book pro - I have found that my cursor disappears sometimes when I click on a toolbar function. I found out it is a bug, that the Mac loses 'focus'. I can correct it temporarily by clicking on Format - Font - Cancel. Any info?

I have Word 2011 on a Mac Book Pro and have had problems with a dissapearing cursor - it makes editing tricky
After googling it I found out that there is a bug where the Mac loses focus if you click away from the document - it also does this with italics according to other users.
I had a play with it and found out that when I click on the toolbar in a document where this happens, the cursor disappears, e.g. changing font colour etc. And then, when I click on Format - Font - Cancel it returns
I'd be interested if anyone else has a comment to add, please do
thanks

BTW (speaking as a Dad of 3 daughters in Grad school) if you don't already have and use a DropBox account, or some other similar online "cloud" based backup of your school documents, you should start doing so immediately. By keeping all of your important documents in the Dropbox folder on your computer, you have instant access to them from any other computer (or iPad), should you be w/o your computer while in for repairs (or if, God forbid, it is stolen). It's free for 2 GB of online storage, which is more than enough for a few years worth of Word documents, etc. (If you get other people to sign up via your email "invitation", then Dropbox gives you even more free storage space.) Every time you close a document, it is updated on the Dropbox servers (encrypted), if it is in the Dropbox folder (assuming you give it a few seconds to update before turning off your computer). Do a google search of "Cloud based storage comparisons" to compare the amount of free space each of the competing services give you.

Mac cursor disappeared. OS Lion 10.7.2

I am having this problem for few days now. It happened when I was watching a stream video in full screen mode, then I move to another screen (3-finger swipe) to work on something else and the cursor disappeared. It's fine when I am not waching in full screen mode.
I have the latest os version 10.7.2. Flash player auto-date turn on
I tried to restart, and the problem still exists.
Please help.

Tks Sig.Yup I've tried both ports..same issue.I'll drop it off tmrw (I dont even have it for a week) n am quite dissapointed.What puzzled me is that the large external disk (500gb) showed on the disk utility on mine n wouldnt mount but that same disk worked fine with another macbook pro running 10.7.2 as well

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! )

Custom cursor disappears in context menu

I am attempting to use a custom cursor from a PNG file. I set the cursor to an embedded PNG file using CursorManager.setCursor(). However, when a right-click occurs and the context menu appears, the cursor disappears. I found this example on the web that demonstrates the issue:
http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/flex-custom-cursor-tutorial
Click on the show cursor button and then right click to show the context menu. This seems to be an issue with PNG files but not SWF files. Both examples in this Flex Quickstart article do not have this problem:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/controlling_the_cursor/
Is there a workaround?

Unfortunately you won't find a solution to this I suspect. In the DevNet example you are seeing the browser menu. In the Flex app you are seeing the Flash Player cursor. I don't think there is a way around this.

Since installing Mac Mavericks all my friends with Macs and I have problems with the cursor disappearing, only in Firefox, Safari is fine...

I have stopped using Firefox as nothing I have done has fixed this problem. I have tried shutting down Firefox and rebooting it, I cleared all my add-ons and then added adblock back (that's the only one) but it still doesn't work. I've deleted large files so that I have more space - I can't think of anything else that will work. I have spoken to four of my friends with Macs and they are all having the same problem with Firefox since Mavericks.

Hi thanks very much for your reply. I did a few things like delete my add-ons and I don't have the problem of the disappearing cursor (sounds like a Sherlock Holmes story) any more but it seems to have been a mac issue as there were many complaints on the Apple forums of the cursor disappearing since the Mavericks OS and not just in Firefox but in multiple programs. Looks like they've fixed it somehow!

Cursor disappears on macbook pro windows 8.1

I have a MacBook Pro running Windows 8.1. Over the past few weeks, while doing work (email, Word, Powerpoint - basic office work), the cursor would disappear. I would need to restart the computer for the cursor to reappear. Today, the cursor has disappeared and I can't get it back with a restart. I have read many posts on disappearing cursors but none seem to fix my problem. All other functions (as far as I can tell) are functioning. I am using the trackpad. All features work except for the ability to see the cursor. I have tried the following:
1. Restart
2. Power off / on
3. Looking for additional microsoft updates and updating.
4. Removing updates that have installed in the past 5 days
5. Removing update KB2919355 (It wouldn't let me so it reinstalled it)
6. Mouse settings - I tried changing scheme, size etc - no change. I was able to select within Mouse Properties - Press CNTRL to see Mouse - this works. When I press the control button - it shows me a target of where the cursor is but it doesn't show the cursor - WORKAROUND.
7. Added a mouse - it connected, made a sound as it connected but same situation as cursor - functional but can't see the cursor
8. Went to MSconfig and tried booting in Diagnostic set up - CURSOR REAPPEARED - but no idea which app is causing the problem.
9. I went back to MS Config and did normal mode - cursor disappeared at restart and disabled all the start up apps and restarted - still no cursor.
10. I pressed all the FN+F1, f2,f3 etc. - no change
11. I checked to make sure I was only using 1 screen (and not extending my screen).
I have an appointment at the Genius bar on Monday but there has to be an easy fix to this. Any ideas?

Additional Info - after working on this problem for 4 hours, I shut my laptop in frustration and took a break. 1 hour later I opened my mac and the cursor had magically returned. No restart, no power on/off - nothing. Frustration. If anyone else has had this happen and has actually fixed the problem let me know. I'm sure it will reoccur.

Cursor disappears in forms 9i

Cursor is back
Does anybody faced this type of problemn
I am using jinitiator 1.3.1.9
Thanks for all your help
Thanks

Here's a tip, but I'm not sure that's it. I noticed that on Unix (at least the Solaris distribution) there's a pretty old JInitiator with it (1.3.1.8). And it simply does some funny things in the java interface. Upgrading/patching tends to solve a lot of inconvenient stuff (either get to 1.3.1.9 or 1.3.1.13).
You could apply the two patches from Patch Set 3 (9.0.2.3.0) - but let the guys at Metalink help you. It's generally necessary to apply the patches in precisely the correct order.

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.

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

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)

Cursor Disappears

Mac Pro running Mountain Lion & Photoshop CS5. Gotta say Mountain Lion seems to have its share of bugs. Here's one: Working away in Photoshop CS5, when I suddenly want to look at a web page, check email, etc. The cursor disappears the instant it leaves Photoshop and is invisible over the Finder, desktop, and all other apps. Only way to get it back is to Command+Tab thru the application switcher. Pathetic.

Apparently they do not talk to each other at Apple, and do not log in complaints. See this post of Aug 6.

Update: Contacted both Wacom and Apple. Haven't spoken to anyone at Wacom yet, but was very impressed with Apple's response. The tech called seconds after I hit the send button on the website. Apprerently they haven't heard of the issue and had him Google the problem. Luckily my cursor disappeared as I was speaking with him. Had me zap Pram (reboot holding Command-Option PR) and then rebooted in safe mode (holding shift) played around for a while but couldn't get the cursor to disappear. Then booted normal and stayed on the line for a good while to see if it would happen again. We ended up disconnecting and calling back if or when it reoccurs and go from there...

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 (invisible) after exiting TDM

I've recently purchased a 0.5m thunderbolt cable to connect my Macbook pro to my 27" iMac. All is fine until I exit Target Display Mode (apple F2). At that point the cursor disappears. Very annoyingly, I can just about trace it's whereabouts via the various cues on web browser windows, and through trial and error navigate to the apple menu and restart, whereupon it's all back to normal.
Anyone know why this is or how I can prevent it from happening?
iMac running OSX 10.7.5
intel core i5
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512mb

Hi Gregster,
If the cursor on your iMac is disappearing unexpectedly I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
