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).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Mouse pointer hang in"hand" icon and won't select anything

This happens in Ubuntu 11.4 with Firefox 13. While in Firefox the mouse pointer gets stuck in the 'hand' icon and will not select anything anymore either in or out of Firefox. I have only fixed this with a reboot

I have encountered this a couple of times over the last few weeks, usually when I have lots of Firefox tabs open. Basically it stops all mouse functionality except the ability to move the pointer. And the pointer becomes a fist.
However, the keyboard still works and I found a short term workaround:-
1. either a) "'''Alt+Tab'''" to a terminal that is already open, or b) use the "'''Alt+F2'''" to get a "'''Run Command'''" box
2. type "'''killall firefox'''", and hit the enter key.
That kills Firefox and allows the rest of my system to function normally. Otherwise I have to reboot by holding down the power button for 10 seconds or so - which is very undesirable indeed.
''BTW, I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 c/w Firefox13. ''

Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this

Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

LR 5.5 upgrade. I only get the the 32 bit set up and an error when the 64 bit set up should be created. It says not enough disk space and no access to write. The disk space is ok and the 32 bit file was indeed created.

Hi Rob, Thanks for your input. The temp location is on the C drive with 228 GB free space. My other drives have 123 GB and 204 GB of free space. I can see how the 32 bit set up is perfectly extracted when it stops when coming to the 64 bit set up. I have done the exercise several times and also made new downloads. I am using Norton 360 and Malwarebytes anti-malware but the dowload from Adobe should be trusted.

Strange mighty mouse pointer: arrow gone

My mouse pointer has been acting strange recently (maybe connected to 10.4.3?); it seems to only be in Safari not in Finder or other programs. The mouse pointer normally adapts to what it's over: it's a thin vertical line when over text, a hand when things can be moved, and usually an arrow. But now it's turning to a text-line icon as soon as it enters the safari screen, whether it's over text or not. If I right click it twice it goes back to arrow, but otherwise it's the wrong pointer. This is most annoying when I'm using the scroll bars or trying to click tabs (since it's not intuitive to scroll using a text edit vertical line, and even more difficult to close a tab with a line rather than arrow!).

Actually got solved by pulling usb plug out of keyboard and plugging it back in. I think it was caused when I pulled out the keyboard usb from back of machine, somehow messed up the mouse which was plugged into it.

After upgrade I have a black display showing only the mouse pointer

I just installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Lenovo W540 laptop. The installation appeared to to go just fine and I did not see anything that should cause any issues. Now that it is complete, my display is black and I see the mouse
pointer on the screen. I can move the mouse just fine, but nothing else will display when moving the mouse. If I hit <ctrl><alt><del> then our domain banner page will flash on the display but I can't hit the OK button to get to
my login prompt. Has anyone seen this before? What can I do to resolve this issue? Any suggestions out there?

Black screen on reboot - can only see mouse pointer

Installed a couple new apps yesterday and on reboot, I can no longer get my login screen. The workstation boots and I hear the windows login screen sound, but all I get is a black screen which I can see my mouse cursor on when I move it. I've tried powering
off and on a few times and still the same result. I'm unable to figure out how to get to Safe Mode in Windows 10. Any assistance would be appreciated.

did you install the preview as a clean fresh install?
could be there is some driver compatibility issue

Moving mouse pointer to menu dims window and shows all open windows at once

when i'm in safari and i move my mouse pointer to the upper left corner of a window that is almost full screen, that window dims and a black bar appears in the middle of this window with a discription of it. as an example
APPLE=SUPPORT-DISCUSSIONS-POST MESSAGE:NEW THREAD
if i have 2 windows open one shows lower left and the other upper right and i have to click the mouse button on the window i was using to get it back and get the other behind it.
is there a setting in preferances that causes this that i can change?

This is what happens for one of the active corners for Exposé, if ("all windows") is the upper left corner. Take a look at "System preferences" , Dashboard & Exposé.

Mouse from arrow to hand

How do you change the mouse from an arrow to hand when mouse is over a button or a data list component? Is there a way to do this in the UI of Catalyst and if not... how do I do it in Flash Builder?
--- Andrae.

Hi Peter,
Is there a way to do this from within Catalyst? My button does not need to link to a URL, (if that makes a difference...)
Thanks,
Raymond

Mouse pointer turns into hand (10.8)

Dear Mac community,
On my MacPro, the cursor often turns into the hand icon,
andclicks on web site buttons and links do not work. For example, I
can't click on "add to cart" when on Amazon. Does anyone know of a fix?
Oddly enough, the cursor resumes its arrow shape when
I move it away from the link.'
                                                            Aitch51

johnb-one,
          Thanks very much for taking the time and effort to reply.
         To provide you with more data, the same
problem occurs in the Safari, Firefox and Chrome
browsers. I am using a Logitech MX performance mouse
that uses the left panel for left-clicking.
         Since receiving your reply, I have
          a. verified that I am on the latest
              Java release
          b. cleared out the history data from
              my browsers
          c. cleaned the mouse, and when that did not work --
         d. switched to my "back-up" MX Performance mouse
None of these actions removed the problem in any of
the 3 browsers.
I am having trouble reloading the Logitech MX Performance
mouse configuration utility. (After install, I get a message
that install succeeded but I can't find the icon to launch it.)
I will let you know what happens when I get it to run.
     Since mouse-clicking is such a basic operation, I am
surprised that Apple does not have a utility that "captures"
the result of a click from a misbehaving mouse - thereby enabling
diagnosis of the underlying problem.
                                                                              Aitch51

Mouse pointer arrow is frozen

My mouse arrow is frozen! Any suggestions?

My mouse cursor is frozen, too. It's probably a very different situation from yours, but I'm replying here since yours is a recent post and someone is likely to see it. If not, I'll start a new post.
A long story, but probably relevant:
My Mac is a G4 that has inherited the hard disks from a succession of older Macs that it replaced. So now, having just installed OS 10.5.8 on a disk that had no OS on it, I have 10.5.8 and 10.4.11, each on its own disk, and 10.3 Panther plus OS 9 both on the same disc, plus a couple of other discs with nothing on them, all in the same box. That might seem like asking for trouble, but another Mac whiz on this forum tells me it should be okay.
My problem for some time has been that Protools (made by Digidesign, owned by Avid) won't load, since it complains that the "Digidesign hardware is in use by another application (-1133)". After much gnashing of teeth I finally experienced the dim light bulb of just looking up the <expletive deleted> error in google, and Lo and behold, it's simply that my version of Protools is not compatible with 10.4 or 10.5.
Okay, so back to 10.3, but...
Now when I boot 10.3 (via that StartUp choice in System Preferences), I have the frozen mouse cursor in the upper left corner of the screen just like you.
Consider:
- Now that I recall, it was THIS environment, 10.3, where Protools was always working, despite the fact that OS 9 already resided on the same disk, so having OS 9 there is not the problem.
- The mouse and keyboard were working just fine minutes earlier in 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 as I went back and forth between them trying to uninstall Protools for a clean install of it afterwards. So the mouse and keyboard themselves are probably not the problem.
- The mouse in question is a new 'Mighty Mouse' that arrived with a G5 I just bought. It's an optical mouse, and the light that shone on the bottom of it earlier (with 10.4 and 10.5) shines no more.
- Other mice, that had been working shortly before I switched to the new Mighty Mouse to try it out, now no longer work in this new 10.3 boot. So it can't be simply that 10.3 is not compatible with the Mighty Mouse.
- The keyboard apparently doesn't work either, but I can't be sure since I can't open a doc or window to try to type anything.
- Now I'm STUCK, since with no input devices I can't tell the Mac to boot in 10.4.11 or 10.5.8.
- I already tried the strategem of holding the Shift key down while I re-boot. It didn't work, but then maybe that's because the keyboard stopped working.
- And No, nothing is unplugged!
Thanks in advance!

Why is Photoshop CC 2014 nearly crash with Wacom and fix itself when I move my regular mouse?

I have Photoshop CC 2014 (completely updated through Creative Cloud). I am currently using a Wacom Intuos 3 9"X12" with the Intuos drivers all updated. Everything is updated. I am working on Windows 8, on a computer with 8 GB's of RAM. I have never had this problem before using Photoshop until just recently. Before I updated Photoshop CC 2014, I was having trouble putting in text into my files. I would go to edit or add text, and it would say that the text function was unavailable. I was pretty ticked, since I'm in school full time for animation and NEED Photoshop to work as fast as possible and this was making things harder. So, I updated. The text thing got fixed, but for some reason, whenever I use my wacom tablet to draw, it will work for a little bit (like two minutes) before it pretty much freezes my computer. It gets laggy and doesn't show anything on screen. I have waited almost two minutes before. But, whenever I move my REGULAR mouse (trackpad or USB mouse) it catches up with what just happened (including going from layer to layer if I clicked on those to get things moving). It makes it REALLY hard to work with this, and it's increased my worktime by at LEAST 45%, since I have to constantly fix this with a move of my regular mouse. During that time, I cannot click on anything with my wacom pen or use the hotkeys on the keyboard (the default ones).
It, so far, doesn't seem that Photoshop CC has it, but I cannot update to that version. I always get to 75% or something REALLY fast, and then it says there was an error. I just don't know what's going ON with my programs. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall or something? My computer is set to optimize weekly, and I've done multiple scans to make sure I don't have a virus or something. Everything in clean, and I'm not overloaded on stuff, either. I usually only have two or three programs total open, Photoshop CC 2014 included. It ends up either being Photoshop and Firefox or Photoshop, Firefox, and iTunes to listen to music. I use a second monitor, as well, to make my flow go faster.
Help ASAP would be VERY much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

The arrow underneath windows side did not appear when I tried to use bootcamp

Hi
When I restarted my computer and held down the option key both icons came up for bootcamp but the PC side was missing the arrow. Then the arrow appeared and I clicked on it and the screen went black. Can anyone help? Do I need to take it to the Apple store or is it an OS issue? I am running Snow Leopard.
Thanks for your help!

Could you go to (in Photoshop) Help>System Info>Copy and paste here in its entirety? Also, if there is a crash report paste it here as well.

How do you use only a part of a song from itunes and add it to a movie project?

After I've added video clips and photoes to a movie project, I can't figure out how to use only clips from itunes songs to play in specific parts of movie project...any ideas?

The settings you use to play in iTunes do not get retained in other apps. What you can do is open Garage Band, drag the song from iTunes into a GB track, then edit the song as you like. You can even adjust the fade in/out exactly to the length and duration you want. When the song is trimmed, Share to iTunes, where it will become a separate song. Select that for your slideshow, or place it in an iTunes playlist and use the playlist for your slideshow.
Regards.
