Mouse bluetooth disappeared

Bluethooth for mouse disappeared. Re-booting does not help. I can't go back and get it from time machine because it is a OS file. When you go to the utility, it says "no hardware found". Mouse worked just fine yesterday. I tried fresh batteries. Even tried a different mouse. It is like the machine completely ate the bluetooth software. *Poof* Gone.

Hello:
Try resetting the SMC:

Just installed OSX Mavericks.Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences. I have a magic mouse and my IMac no long recognizes it as such, nor can I scroll with it. What's wrong?

Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

My Mouse Cursor Disappears coming out of standby and screensaver!!

I have a TX1000z, with a fresh install of Windows Vista Home Premium 64. All drivers are current, including the video, networking, mouse, etc. I am using the xb3000 port replicator with the logitech MX Revolution mouse and a bluetooth wireless keyboard.
My mouse cursor disappears from the screen, sometimes both the laptop and the monitor (a Dell 22"), sometimes just one or the other. I can still use the buttons and see different things highlight, but no mouse cursor. It is not related to Windows Media Center as I have not run that on my laptop yet. I can reboot and everything is fine, but then it will just disappear again and I cannot keep rebooting! I have seen this problem posted all over the web, usually in relation to Windows Media Center and the "solution" is always the same...Disable Pointer Trails and "hide cursor while typing." Neither of these has worked for me. In fact, when I went in to disable trails, they were already disabled. Actually, when I clicked on Enable Pointer Trails, the mouse becomes visible. The mouse is then choppy (even when the trail is very short) and disappears again if I disable pointer trails.
Here is a link to another post with a very similar problem, but the resolution was not posted (though a suggestion was):

HELP!!

Still an issue. No fix found for me either.
Windows Vista 64 sp3. Latest NVidia Video drivers. External Logitech Trackball Marble Wireless. Trails disabled, Hide while typing Disabled.
Happens when coming out of sleep, screensaver or hibernate. Usually on the primary screen only (dual display). Sometimes on all.

Mouse cursor disappears

sup guys
whenever i connect my PB took an external monitor and bluetooth mouse, then I remove everything to use the PB portably(?, haha, when i'm on the move) the mouse cursor disappears. trackpad works fine, it brings up the dock, magnifies, the whole nine, just the black arrow is gone. last time i think it took like 30 mins to come back. normally i just restart, and its brand new again, anyone have any idea why?
PB G4 12/1.33GHZ Mac OS X (10.3.9) 768 MB RAM

I think it's a bug with OS X 10.3.9.
I used to suffer from something similar (cursor would become invisible when waking from sleep with external keyboard and monitor), until I upgraded to 10.4. I haven't had any trouble since.

Undo bug, mouse pointer disappears?

Is just me or everyone has that annoying "undo" bug?
That's what happens: when I press UNDO speedgrade starts to behave strangely.
- If I press undo after clicking right mouse button (and I'm moving a color wheel with mouse) comes out a message "optimizing timeline" and timeline thumbnails are shown under the timeline. Sometimes there is a worst scenario: mouse pointer disappears and I have to quit SG and reopen to get my pointer back.
- Pressing ctrl-z without right mouse button clicked (outside wheel edit mode, or whatever it is called..) sometimes works, sometimes appears the annoying progress bar "optimizing timeline" and several steps of undo are taken, even if I pressed cmd+z just one time.
I use undo A LOT, and now I'm not confident using it because of this strange behavior (I'm on osx).
Are you experiencing the same problems?

You won't believe this but just cleaning a mouse can improve performance... read the following:
How to Clean a Mechanical Mouse
This article explains when and how you should clean a mechanical mouse. It does not apply to the the Apple Pro Mouse.
You should clean a mouse if it is does not track smoothly, or if it jumps or skips. A mouse contains a small ball that must roll smoothly for the mouse to work properly. You should keep this ball free of dirt and oil by using the mouse on a clean, lint-free surface, and cleaning it occasionally.
Use the following procedure to clean a mouse:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Turn the mouse upside down and rotate the plastic ring on the bottom counterclockwise to release it.
3. Turn the mouse right side up with one hand and catch the ring and ball with your other hand.
4. Clean the three small rollers inside the mouse with a cotton swab moistened with water. Rotate the rollers to clean all around them. If there is a build-up of material on the rollers that the cotton swab does not remove, you can use your fingernail to gently remove the material.
5. Wash the mouse ball in soapy, warm water with a mild soap such as a dishwashing liquid if oil from your hands has collected on it. Be sure to dry the mouse ball thoroughly.
6. Gently blow into the mouse case to remove any accumulated dust.
7. Put the mouse ball back in the mouse case and replace the retaining ring.
If cleaning the mouse as described does not correct your issue, the mouse may need to be replaced. Have an Apple Authorized Service Provider check it for excessive wear or other failure.
If that doesn't do the trick, if this is a mouse that required 3rd party drivers, you might try reinstalling the drivers. Also, try going back to default Mouse preferences on all Users, see if makes a difference.

Mouse pointer disappears.

Hi,
Mostly on PHP driven pages my mouse pointer disappears.
As soon as i mouse away from the page to the address bar or any other part of my screen the pointer is visible again. Tried this in Firefox too, there the pointer is only visible when it's moved.
Any thoughts ?
Jay

One of the sites this happens at is: http://liquidfrog.bestdirectbuy.com/

Cauld,
Thanks! So far the Ctrl-Alt-Del then Escape brings back my mouse pointer.
Obviously, I'm not going to mark this as a solution but at least you've saved me from having to reboot frequently. I appreciate your participation.
Steven,
This error is unrelated to the physical mouse being plugged in. It happens in tablet and laptop mode, I've tried to follow my actions to determine when it disappears but as far as I can tell it's random. Suddenly I'll go to do something and I no longer have a arrow on my screen. If I move my finger around the touch pad I can tell it's still calculating where the mouse pointer is located but there's no image to confirm the location.
I have experienced freezing but only when I try to close an application in full screen mode using the system menu icon on the top left. It usually will trigger some form of the left swipe for active programs. Instead of the normal program images I get a small square in the top left and it freezes for about a minute. I'm trying to relearn my habit of exiting a program by using the top right title bar icon.
So, Lenovo support, please keep open the disappearing mouse pointer report. I'm willing to accept the possibility it is a software app conflict and will let you know if I can track down the cause.
Thanks,
Bill
Thanks Bill,
I will keep an eye open should I experience the same kind of issue, so far I have not.

Mouse pointer disappears and makes strange movements

First: I'm afraid my English is not good enough (I speak Spanish).
So,
Sometimes the mouse pointer disappears but it's still able to click. It reappears when I do right click. Also, sometimes the pointer have a strange behavior, like crazy movements very fast. I just wait 10 second and it work fine again. I don't know if anyone here have this problems too.

Wired mouse pointer disappears?

The pointer on my wired mouse regularly disappears from the screen, making it rather difficult to continue to use Word
Any suggestions as to the cause?

Does the status of the mouse change if used on a different surface?
At times a mouse won't work correctly on
super smooth or woodgrain surfaces...
If you have a second computer, or a different mouse, using these
to test your mouse issue could help resolve or troubleshoot it.
And double-check the USB port in the computer. Do you have a
powered USB hub? A mouse can work through one, but if it fails
try connecting direct. And if plugged into a keyboard USB port
use one in the computer instead. Maybe you need a new mouse.
Good luck & happy computing!

Why does my mouse pointer disappears when hovering over Firefox?

When I'm over the Firefox window, my mouse pointer disappears, unless I'm typing or actively using my mouse.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== This morning after updating to the latest version, but before I had restarted Firefox to fully install the new version.

it seems that flash player is causing this problem because when i disable it, everything is fine. i even tried to install older versions of flash player (9.+) but pointer still starts to disappear. i'm using Windows XP. it happens on the both of my computers and it started at the same time (during the last week) i don't know what to do next..
thank you in advance

Mouse pointer disappearing when recording audio?

I'm having trouble recording audio in presenter -- when I get started recording, after the first slide the mouse pointer seems to disappear onscreen. I can't do anything except clicking escape which brings up the save window and I can use my keyboard to navigate and click save. Then the mouse reappears.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any solutions?

Yes. This has happened to me, consistently. I am using Windows 8.1, Office 2013 (64-bit).
I have Adobe Presenter 7 and 8. I purchased 10 (as an upgrade), but it wouldn't install because the "upgrade" is ONLY available if you're upgrading from Presenter version 9 (something they don't tell you before you buy). This is a separate issue--I've asked for a refund and in the meantime, I'm using the trial version of 10.
As I record, I notice the arrow from the mouse-pointer disappears and will not re-appear. I must hit "escape" and save the work that way. I have tried re-booting, and disabling add-ins. Nothing seems to work.
I'm afraid we have another "glitch" in an Adobe Product. What else is new?

Mouse icon disappears!

Sometimes when I am using photoshop CS3 or flash 9 standalone (and other applications too) the mouse icon disappears. In photoshop when I move my mouse out of the canvas it goes away, to get the pointer back I hit command-tab to bring up the app switcher or I move the mouse back into the image. It only seems to happen in applications with special mouse pointers (like photoshop). Sometimes the pointer icon doesn't go away it just doesn't change to the standard icon. This might be caused by Application Enhancer... which sadly was installed by Logitech Control Center. I uninstalled it but it still might have caused this.

Sounds like an Adobe problem. Check their user forums. If you think it's related to Logitech's stuff, contact them.

The mouse pointer disappears

Occasionally the mouse pointer disappears, most frequently when I use Safari. I only use the mouse pad on my Macbook Air. Has anyone encountered this problem?
Thank you in advance,

Ugh -- updated a computer at work to Firefox 4, now THAT computer is doing it, never having done it before.
It looks like this problem only happens with Windows 7.
