Just updated to Mavericks. Cursor changes shape strangely. Any idea why?
I run a new MacBook Air, only a few months old. 13 inch model. I just updated to OS X Mavericks a few minutes ago and I notice my cursor keeps changing shape. For example, when I go to the App Store, the cursor, normally an arrow, will randomly turn into a pointer finger like when you hover over a clickable thing there, but even after I move away, it remains a finger. Then recently, I was going to my About This Mac option under the Apple in the top bar and it turned into the little vertical line like it would become on a text box and it remained that way until I moved to a different program. I guess this isn't more than a nuisance, but a nuisance it is and I wonder if anyone else has had such a problem.
Me too. Actually since Mountain Lion on a mid-2009 MacBook Pro 13in. 8GB RAM, upgraded flash drive.
Arbitrary cursor behavior. Should be a hand or and arrow, but stays stuck as an i-bar. More than annoying. Makes me use Chrome when I don't want to. Now it is popping up in Mail.
Any ideas?

Does anyone know why its doing this? Or a way i can fix it? I've cheaked for updates and there is none!
Thankyouuu
it looks like that when it is locked and when its unlocked it looks like thisHave you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

I would like to delete this. I do not want to allow the stated email address. I keep denying it access, yet it keeps popping up. Please help!Open FaceTime in Applications.

Just updated to Mavericks and can't open spread sheets in numbers
Just updated to Mavericks and can't opean spread sheets, says I must update numbers but numbers is already updated?
Hi REBOS1,
A key point in the article to which YeOldMacFan links is that you now have two versions of Numbers on your Mac, the new version in your main Applications folder and the old version in a subfolder named iWork '09.
Both versions can coexist on your Mac, even run at the same time, but you need to make sure you are opening a particular document with the correct version. The old version can't open documents that have been edited in the new version, and that's probably the reason you are getting the error message.
If you have old documents, it's best to make copies of them and open the copies in the new version, leaving the orginals unchanged.

Is it just me or is the last safari update for Yosemite slowing everyone down? Any ideas how to fix it?
When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
I just found my old ipod touch (i think 1st generation) and would like to let my toddler use it instead of my phone. I am trying to download apps but it say I need to update to 4.3 but it won't let me update. I have the most recent itunes. any idea why? I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??
The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -

I have just updated my iPad and now cannot access any apps as they just close down straight away. Any ideas why and how to solve?
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
I've also seen it suggested that people try downloading a free app from the store onto the iPad (as that seems to reset something), and then re-try the apps - the free app can then be deleted. -
I use my sisters iTunes to sync only music onto my phone. I have my own apple ID and have it set up in my settings but when there's an update to be done, my sisters apple ID appears and I can't change it. Any ideas?
You may have inadvertently synced an app to your phone that was purchased with her ID. That would trigger a prompt for her ID password when updating. If that's the case, you would need to delete it from your phone.
