Flickering Cursor with "Watch" Symbol
I am using the latest versions of Acrobat Pro and Mac OS. Whenever I try to edit text in a PDF, my cursor flickers and changes to a combo cursor and "watch" symbol. I cannot edit for about 15-20 seconds whereupon the regular cursor returns and I can edit. This only seems to happen when I use the Text Edit Tool. I have discoverd that I can "clear" the flickering by clicking on an open space on the desktop and then returning to the open PDF doc. Any solution would be helpful.
That's normal. Does with me even with my 2.8 GB MacBook Pro with 8 GB.
What its doing is reading the whole section or document to see ifwas based on text.
The slower the Machine the slower it will appear. I've never seen a Mac Version of Acrobat since versio 3 that didn't do this. If its just a very small section it won't take as long.

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with every letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word 2011 and Pages. Any idea of how to solve this annoying problem will be much appreciated. System 10.10.1 on a MacPro (Late 2013)
The mouse is controlled by the OS so don't guess any app other than a mouse driver or OS X itself would be able to cause this sort of flicker issue.
Have you seen the following and is it what you are seeing? Maybe you could make a movie (Quicktime is great for this this to make a screen recording) - but not sure how to attach a movie to these discussions as mine is grayed out and can't be selected (to the right of the insert image).

What kind of mouse are you using? Is the mouse driver up to date if it's a third party mouse? -
Windows 8.1 update - S440 ThinkPad black screen with flickering cursor.
Hello,
Sorry if this is answered elsewhere.
I have an S440. I've had it for one week. Two days ago I downloaded the Windows 8.1 update from the store. Since then, when I start up the computer, it doesn't even taken me to the 'sign in' screen. There's just a black screen. When I move the cursor, it briefly appears, flickers, then disappears again.
I understand this is an issue with the graphics drivers. So I ran Windows in safemode and disabled Intel R HD Graphics family and AMD Radeon HD 8600 series graphics drivers.
This, unfortunately, hasn't fixed the problem. It still boots to a black screen with an occasionally flickering cursor. I'm currently running in safemode.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Alex
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi
I also have an S440 and have tried 3 times to update laptop without success including updating all drivers and updates inc those from Lenovo.
Is there a fix for this? Is this an AMD issue?
My laptop is also very new and cannot believe it is incompatible with windows 8.1.
Tried the compatibility checker with Windows 8.1and it didn't report any problems.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/upgrade-assistant-download-online-faq
Is there anything that can be done to get this working?

Can you use a custom cursor with drag and drop?
Hi there! I'm a newbie flash user and working on a simulation for a graduate course in instructional design. I'm using Flash Professional CC on Mac. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have several draggable sprites on the stage and three target sprites. I have specified the original x,y locations of the sprites and have set the end x,y locations as those of each of the three targets. Items must be dragged to one of the three targets.
Some questions:
1. Can I specify more than one End x,y location for a draggable sprite? I'm creating a lesson to teach kindergartners how to sort lunchroom waste. If they have a napkin, for example, it could either go into the compost OR into the recycling. In cases like this where an item could really be placed into more than one bin, I want them to get it right if they do either of those things, rather than forcing them to choose which one.
2. To make my project more "fun" for kids, I wanted to customize the cursor with a graphic of hand. When I tried this in the flash file it works perfectly until I add the drag and drop functionality for the wasted items. Then the cursor will more around but not pick up any items. Once I revert back to the standard pointer, the correct drag and drop functionality is restored.
3. I have it set to snap back to the original location if learner attempts to drop the item on the wrong target. I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
4. I've watched dozens of hours of youtube tutorials before coming here. I'm a quick study, but am very new to action script. In one of the videos the developer showed referencing an external action script file which I don't think is an option in CC. The coding method he used seemed much more streamlined and "clean" than the chunks I'm working with now. Is there an easy way for me to code information about these objects than the way I've got it here now? I hate starting new things with bad habits. The perils of self-teaching.
Thanks!

assign your cursor's mouseEnabled property to false:
yourcursor.mouseEnabled=false;

I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
use the sound class to create a sound:
// initialize your correct sound once with
var correctSound:Sound=new CorrectSound(); // add an mp3 sound to your library and assign it class = CorrectSound
// apply the play() method everytime you want your sound to play:
correctSound.play();
// change an object's opacity:
someobject.alpha = .3; // partially visible
someobject.alpha = 1; // fully visible
someobject.visible=false; // not visible, at all.
// change an object's scale
someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=.5; // shink width and height by 2
someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=1; // resize to original

you could google:
actionscript 3 class coding
actionscript 3 object oriented programming
p.s. you can simplify and streamline your coding by learning about arrays and using hitTestObject. -
Help! Macbook can't start up and a folder with a symbol "?" in it.
my english is not good
i hope u can understand what i said about the situation
about 4 days ago,i opened a psd file in may mac,but my mac worked very hard at that moment.and the cursor turned like a coloful circle
then i shut down the power
after couple of hours i opened the computer again,but terrible thing happened
it could't start up,just a blank screen, a folder with a symbol "?" in it.
someone told me maybe there was something wrong with the hard drive
so i put the system disk 1 into the computer and use the Disk Utility but it can not find my hard drive!!
Disk Utility show that only a cd,no hard drive
what happened with my mac? can anybody help me?
Message was edited by: noirzthx ^_^
i bought my mac in september last year so i still can get some care with my mac from apple inc.
$1600 is too expensive and it's not my mistake about the situation.
i found many people have this problem: computer doesn't work -> shut down the power -> can't restart ->hard drive crashed
so, don't u think the hard drive is too weakness? i've never got any problem like this when i use other computers
sigh... the most important thing is send my computer to the service
T_T ...pictures...movies...music...memory...etc.. -
Hi people,
I'm having a flickering cursor on my CS3 photoshop. This is version 10.0.
It disables some functions in PS. I can't type anything in the top bar fields.
I guess I'll have to start re-using PScs2
Anybody an idea?The fastcore and mmxcore errors definitely result from using Photoshop internal plugins from an earlier version. Don't use your CS or CS2 plugins folder as the additional plugins directory for CS3, because that will cause CS3 to try to use not only your third-party plugins (which should work fine) but also the plugins that were shipped with the earlier version of Photoshop.
The best place to put third-party plugins is in a separate directory (e.g., a dedicated Photoshop plugin directory either in the root of a drive or in the My Documents directory. Reference that separate directory as your additional plugins directory in each version of Photoshop and you're good to go. -
Hi all,
I have a performance issue in the below code,where i am trying to insert the data from table_stg into target_tab and in parent_tab tables and then to child tables via cursor with bulk collect .the target_tab and parent_tab are huge tables and have a row wise trigger enabled on it .the trigger is mandatory . This timetaken for this block to execute is 5000 seconds.Now my requirement is to reduce it to 5 to 10 mins.
can someone please guide me here.Its bit urgent .Awaiting for your response.

ThanksIts bit urgent
NO - it is NOT urgent. Not to us.
If you have an urgent problem you need to hire a consultant.
I have a performance issue in the below code,
Maybe you do and maybe you don't. How are we to really know? You haven't posted ANYTHING indicating that a performance issue exists. Please read the FAQ for how to post a tuning request and the info you need to provide. First and foremost you have to post SOMETHING that actually shows that a performance issue exists. Troubleshooting requires FACTS not just a subjective opinion.
where i am trying to insert the data from table_stg into target_tab and in parent_tab tables and then to child tables via cursor with bulk collect .the target_tab and parent_tab are huge tables and have a row wise trigger enabled on it .the trigger is mandatory . This timetaken for this block to execute is 5000 seconds.Now my requirement is to reduce it to 5 to 10 mins.
Personally I think 5000 seconds (about 1 hr 20 minutes) is very fast for processing 800 trillion rows of data into parent and child tables. Why do you think that is slow?
Your code has several major flaws that need to be corrected before you can even determine what, if anything, needs to be tuned.
This code has the EXIT statement at the beginning of the loop instead of at the end
FETCH stg_cursor BULK COLLECT INTO v_rt_all_cols LIMIT limit_in;
vstep_no := '4';
vtable_nm := 'after fetch';
--EXIT WHEN v_rt_all_cols.COUNT = 0;
EXIT WHEN stg_cursor%NOTFOUND;
The correct place for the %NOTFOUND test when using BULK COLLECT is at the END of the loop; that is, the last statement in the loop.
You can use a COUNT test at the start of the loop but ironically you have commented it out and have now done it wrong. Either move the NOTFOUND test to the end of the loop or remove it and uncomment the COUNT test.
WHEN OTHERS THEN
ROLLBACK;
That basically says you don't even care what problem occurs or whether the problem is for a single record of your 10,000 in the collection. You pretty much just throw away any stack trace and substitute your own message.
Your code also has NO exception handling for any of the individual steps or blocks of code.
The code you posted also begs the question of why you are using NAME=VALUE pairs for child data rows? Why aren't you using a standard relational table for this data?
As others have noted you are using slow-by-slow (row by row processing). Let's assume that PL/SQL, the bulk collect and row-by-row is actually necessary.
Then you should be constructing the parent and child records into collections and then inserting them in BULK using FORALL.
1. Create a collection for the new parent rows
2. Create a collection for the new child rows
3. For each set of LIMIT source row data
a. empty the parent and child collections
b. populate those collections with new parent/child data
c. bulk insert the parent collection into the parent table
d. bulk insert the child collection into the child table
And unless you really want to either load EVERYTHING or abandon everything you should use bulk exception handling so that the clean data gets processed and only the dirty data gets rejected. -
My macbook pro is stuck on grey screen with apple symbol in center with the progress circle under it continusly spinning. After I had turned it on. Prior to turning it on I had to force close and shut down a few hours prior. Please Help I have tried everything I know to do
Unfortunately this means that there is a problem in the boot sector of your hard drive. It might be indicative of a fundamental corruption in the coding that allows your computer to boot your operating system from your hard drive. I had this problem twice and it resulted in me having to get a new hard drive and restore my data.
In other words, your computer can't talk to your operating system so you can't access your data.
Here is my advice: DON'T CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT though they are kind and usually helpful it will take you an hour just to explain the situation and they will only tell you to do what I'm gonna say here.
First: Shut down your computer completely
Two: boot up while holding down the following keys: command, option, p, and r. The computer will reboot 3 times. This solution will likely fail so if you're frustrated skip to the next step.
Three: Boot up while holding down the option key. Select recovery drive. Select your default language. Select disk utility, click on Macintosh HD, and select "verify and repair volume." Likely the verification will produce some line like "unused node not erased." Or something like that. If anything using the words "node structure" comes up, you need a new hard drive.
If after verification and repairs you still can't boot I sincerely hope you have apple care because you will need a new hard drive. Set up an appointment to come in to the apple store, they will tell you to go and get data recovery, just ask them to give you the old hard drive. Unless you have an up to date backup in which case you can just restore from that. If you're lucky the only issue is with the boot sector which means that if you ask them to give you the old hard drive, you can buy an enclosure and you have effectively been given a free external hard drive. It still works to store data just not to load an operating system.
If you have a back up drive bring it to the apple store and they'll do the whole thing right there, it should take around an hour and a half but may take longer.
Hope this helps, it's annoying but it's your safest bet.
All the best. -

I have a late 2011 OS X Lion 10.7.4 that is only 6 months old. For the first 4 months I had no problems, but then about 6 weeks ago I downloaded an Angry Birds update from the Apple App Store, and my problems began. When playing Angry Birds the the new Angry Birds update for the first time the cursor began to jump around, moving on it's own as if someone else was controlling it. After a few moments I became obvious I could not control the cursor with the trackpad. When I placed the tip of my finger gently in the center of the trackpad to try to hold the cursor still it becan switching from the game (desktop) to launchpad and mission control. I then put the computer down so I was not even touching it, walked several feet away and the cursor still moved on it's own.
I've done a lot of research over the last few weeks on related articles and realized this is a common problem with numerous different causes: PRAM settings,
screen sharing, remote settings, having fingers accidently touch edges of trackpad, writst resting too close to trackpad, swollen battery, etc. and I don't think it's due to any of those issues.
The problem came out of nowhere. My computer stays at home, and is not used by anyone else. At first it was just Angry Birds, but now it can happen at any time. Sometimes hours or days go by when this does not happen, sometimes it happens so much I can't use the computer at all. It can get so bad that I won't be able to click out of whatever I'm doing on my desktop, and I'll have to shut it down by holding the power button.
Has anyone else had this issue after updating Angry Birds?try a new/fresh apple brand cable and make sure it is the only usb cable in use. this worked for me, i noticed i had no problem with a lighting cable. i did a restore from scratch and from backup and it did not help me...and if you cant sync than you wont be able to get anything but apps back after the restore

Problem with "watch folder" and Windows 7
I have just switched to Windows 7 and Elements 9 - so far things are working quite well, but I am having a problem with "Watch folder" It is watching my odf folder "My Pictures" but all my new photos are going into Libraries/Pictures and PSE9 won't let me add that to the watch folder section. I am afraid that if I ask PSE9 to Get Photos and Videos / From Files and folders I may get a whole buch of duplicates in my Organizer.
Any help would be appreciated.Thank you - I followed your directions
and found that I had already tagged it to watch, but hadn't realized that it was tagging both the old and the new. Big learning curve for me. -

How to display G/L Account code with separation symbol
Hi, there
I got a problem that I want to show formated account code in one column in grid, which formated with separation symbol, and i'd like to binding this column to one user defined field in UDT, user can input Acount code in this column. who knows if there is a simple way to show the formated Account code. I am using SBO 2004 and VB .Net.
I did not find any function about it in SBO 2004 SDK, the "FormatCode" property in ChartOfAcctounts object only show Account code with out separator, so am I need find out the segment and separator information and format using code?
Thanks for any help.
KathyHi Kathy
Not sure what you asking.
The one part you asking "how can I show the link button in the Account code column". The answer to this is if you are using the xml form made by the screen painter you must open the xml file outside of screen painter and make that column of type 116 instead of 16. Obviously you still need to do the usual like bind the column and set LinkedObject = APbouiCOM.BoLinkedObject.lf_GLAccounts
Then to the second part of your question
A linked button for a gl account with dashes which are "-" should pull the chart of accounts window open. The format code with the dashes is CORRECT! You must make sure there is no unwanted spaces or any funny characters. Also i did the linked button in Screen Painter. Make your arrow, link it to a edit box.Then set linkedObject value to 1.
Just for testing purposes make a edit text with the linked button linked to it. Type a gl account manualy in the box with dashes and then press the orange arrow. You'll see that it works with the dashes.
Hope this helps -
How to save file with the "/" symbol in the name?
Hi,
I have Adobe Professional 8. I need to save files with names that include the symbol /, but Adobe interprets, for example, A/88/6, as file name 6, in a folder named 88, in a folder named A, and sets up new folders to accommodate that. I cannot substitute another symbol as I already have thousands of pdf files in a database using the / symbol, and I need them in the same folders.
I would very greatly appreciate any advice,
thanks,
Mo.Thanks.
As I said, I'm pretty ignorant about these things. I wouldn't know how to begin using a "hack". All I know is that I was able, for over a year, to save .pdf files directly from my browser on several computers, and use the forbidden "/" symbol in every file name. After saving the files, Adobe will happily open them, and allow me to edit and re-save them, although I now see that it will not allow me to "save as" them under a different name without removing that symbol.
I may not be tech-savvy, but I can state that everything I have said here and above is entirely accurate. I would be happy to open a dropbox account to show you countless .pdfs with the symbol "/" in the name.
This is honestly not that big a deal. I greatly appreciate this discussion, and you have inspired me to become slightly less computer-ignorant.
Hope you all had a great New Year. I am still recovering.
Cheers,
Mo. -
Problem with Euro Symbol when import a PDF in SAP
