Mouse cursor displays the wrong icon

My cursor still changes based on the context, like hovering over a link or in a text field, but displays the wrong icon.  After focusing a text field, the cursor is a reggular arrow in the text editor and turns to the text staff outside of it when it should be an arrow. 
I just did a fresh install of 10.6.8 on a crucial m4 - ct256m4ssd
I FOUND THAT RESIZING THE MOUSE CURSOR IN THE UNIVERSAL ACCESSS PREFERENCES temporarily restores the cursor to a size-adjusted mouse, until I do something like click in a text field.

just re-install the os

  • Dreamweaver CS6 displaying the wrong icon for certain file types

    I recently upgraded to the Maverick and I noticed that my Dreamweaver changed some of my files' icon to Acrobat Reader symbol. This does not represent the actual file type. My most important files, such as mp3 and m4v, are not displaying correctly. My concern is that it is affecting my website. How do I change the icons back to the original file type icons? Much needed help! Thanks!

    What do local file associations have to do with your website? You have a severely wrong understanding of this stuff. Anyway, file associations on Mac can be changed using a right-click and Get Info and then choosing a new default program for the file type.

  • Calendar app icon is displaying the wrong date

    For some reason on my iPhone's homescreen the icon for the Calendar app has today started displaying the wrong date.
    It should show today's date, Monday 6th but instead it reads Sunday 5th.
    What confuses me is that the phone does know the date is Monday 6th as the lock screen shows it correctly and also when I actually load the Calendar app it starts on the right date. Also, when I load the multi task bar the Calendar app icon there is correct. See the attached photo, which shows the Calendar app on the home screen (faded, middle left) displaying yesterdays date Sunday 5th, while the app icon in the multi task bar is correct, Monday 6th.
    Syncing the calendar with my iMac does not correct the error. Equally, turning the phone off and on again has not sorted it.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the fault? And more importantly how to correct it?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestion DaVBMan, sadly it didn't work. The only thing that did work was to wait until midnight and it corrected itself. In the mind of the phone it lived a whole day twice and then skipped one completely in order to get back on track. Very odd and also I have since discovered it has happened to a few of my friends too.
    It's not happened again so I have no idea what so ever what caused it. Fingers crossed it never recurs.

  • Mail app displays the wrong Inbox when you open it.

    This problem can be easily reproduced if you have more than one email account configured in iOS 4.x
    It should be extremely simple to fix with the next update. I see that this same problem has been mentioned before, but I couldn't update that thread because it's "archived." If you want Apple to fix this, please report the issue to Apple using one or more of the links below:

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html (not sure if iPad Mail app is affected)
    Here's what I submitted...
    Subject:
    Simple software design issue in Mail app.
    Feedback Type:
    Design/Ease of Use
    Comments:
    Thanks for your work on making iOS better and better with each update! There is no option to provide general iOS feedback, so I'll submit this under "iPhone" and "iPod." I'm currently using the latest iOS (4.3.1).
    The native Mail app in iOS has had the Unified Inbox feature since iOS 4.0, which is very useful. However, there is a minor design flaw that could be easily resolved with a software update.
    My setup:
    I have 3 Exchange accounts on my device (Hotmail, Gmail[Default], Work). The Hotmail Inbox is empty at least 98% of the time because my Gmail account periodically downloads the messages. The only reason I have the Hotmail account entered on my device is to make sure I can see a message in "All Inboxes" even before my Google account retrieves it. On my device, the Gmail account is set as default for Mail and Contacts.
    The problem:
    I never intentionally select the Inbox for the Hotmail account because it should almost always be empty. I would simply view "All Inboxes." Still, half the time I open the Mail app, it shows the empty Hotmail Inbox. This is very annoying!
    I finally figured out how to reproduce it consistently:
    (must have more than one account configured)
    1) Launch the Mail app and back-up to the screen that shows the list of accounts / Inboxes (I usually try to leave it here when I'm done, hoping to see that screen the next time I open Mail).
    2) Without selecting a specific account or Inbox, push the Home button to exit the Mail app.
    3) Kill the Mail process from the multi-tasking menu.
    4) Open Mail again
    Mail will show whichever Inbox comes immediately after "All Inboxes", even if it's not your default account. In my case, it starts in the empty Hotmail Inbox every time...a folder that I never intentionally select. Each time, I have to go back to the list and tap "All Inboxes."
    So, if I leave Mail on the root screen before killing the process, it consistently displays the wrong Inbox the next time I open it. If I select an Inbox or "All Inboxes," it will remember that selection and show me that screen the next time I open Mail.
    What it should do:
    When Mail doesn't know which Inbox to display, it should...
    A. Start on the root screen with the list of accounts and Inboxes (preferred option).
    or B. Start in "All Inboxes" (secondary preference).
    or C. Start in the Inbox of the default account (not preferred, but better than showing an empty/unused Inbox).
    Thank you!

    Try this...
    Launch the Mail app.
    Navigate to the "Mailboxes" page (the page that lists all of your accounts).
    Tap "Edit" in the top right corner.
    Scroll down to the bottom section of the page, titled "ACCOUNTS".
    Drag the triple-bars on the right to reorder the accounts listed. The first account listed will be the one that the app launches to.
    Hope this helps, I went crazy trying to figure that out and it worked for me.

  • HT201263 After updating to the ios6 my ipod was going on and off displaying the apple icon and then had a white screen that had multi colors on it. Then it had a blue screen.plz help me

    I was updating my iPod touch 4g to the ios6 and it told me to hook it up to the iTunes and so I did. After doing that the computer told me to restore I tried and it didn't work. My ipod then was Turing on and off displaying the apple icon then my screen turned white with rainbow colors going down the screen then at some point my ipod had a multi colored blue screen. The screen was no longer blue after I let it die. Plz help I can't find any solutions.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.

  • TS1398 Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon?

    Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon? I have implemented ALL of the troubleshooting tips, but my WiFi icon is still missing, and it will NOT recognize the internet connection that I know to work on my computer and iPhone.

    Try the following:
    1. Reset the AirPlay devices
    2. Reboot the router
    3. Reboot the iPad
    Note: The AirPlay icon is now in the Control Center

  • The printer has the wrong icon

    The printer has the wrong icon on one computer, the right on on the other.
    =====
    I have a LaserJet 1320 at home, and a LaserJet 1200 in my pastor's study.
    My MacBookPro connects to the LaserJet 1320 as a network printer and to the LaserJet 1200 directly by USB. My G5 iMac only connects to the LaserJet 1320 as a network printer.
    On the MacBook Pro, the printers have the icons that look like them. On the iMac, the 1320 has the icon for the 1200!
    I replaced my router at home, and in the process, deleted the printers from the iMac and reinstalled them.
    On the iMac, the 1320 STILL has the icon for the 1200!
    This is not exactly a life-threatening situation, but it is annoying. How do I fix it? Does anyone know where these icons live and what file specifies which icon goes with which printer?
    17" iMac G5 and 15" MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I found the printer icons for HP on the iMac. There was no icon for the 1320 series, so it was defaulting to the icon for the 1300, which visually resembles the 1200.
    It didn't occur to me until I had wasted a lot of time that the driver on the iMac predated the Intel Macs, and that the driver on the MacBook Pro must be newer. In the course of the day, I read that Software Update doesn't necessarily update drivers. So I went to the HP web site and discovered that they have a Universal driver. I downloaded and installed that, and it produced the correct icon.
    Lesson: Occasionally check the printer manufacturer's web site for driver updates.

  • How to fix iPhone 5 from displaying the wrong time

    Work up the day is daylight savings time and come to find out my iPhone was displaying the wrong time tried to switch from manual and automatic quick to see if it worked and nothing turned it on airplane mode still didn't work and I noticed I'm also having problems with my service please help

    If it is on automatic time, then the time is received from the carrier. If you say you are having "service" problems, I am assuming you mean your carrier. It could be an overall carrier problem. Contact them.

  • Why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    I had similar problem. My iPhone was always about 3 minutes faster than the correct time here in the UK which I found to be very irritating. It just came to a head because here in the UK we have just changed from British Summer Time back to standard GMT. This actually worked automatically except that the iPhone time still showed it to be about 3 minutes faster than GMT. However I have now cured the problem (almost) by going to
         Settings/General/ Date & Time/ and then selected the "Set Automatically" button.
    The clock then immediately jumped back 3 minutes and now the iPhone time is only about 10 seconds slow which is good enough for me.

  • IPhone displays the wrong song information

    Hello,
    Recently I have noticed that my phone often displays the wrong songs and information.  What I mean is, when I tap on an artist, it shows the wrong songs.  For example, if I listened to AC/DC and then try to change it and listen to Alice in Chains, the phone still displays the AC/DC songs.  This is very aggravating and I seem to be the only person who has this problem.  I checked the song info on itunes and everything is correct.  Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Brad

    This has been happening to me for while now and would love to get an answer or fix.

  • Firefox mouse cursor using default X11 icons

    Hi
    I'm a brand new Arch user and I'm extremely happy with it.  I've got this one remaining nagging issue that I can't seem to find a solution for. 
    I'm using XFCE 4.4 and have my mouse cursor theme set to pArch-24 but when I move the mouse over a firefox window it reverts back to the small black default X11 icons.  I have the gtk-qt-engine installed and any gnome or kde apps I launch use the right mouse theme so it seems to be only firefox (and gdm) where this is happening. 
    It's a small issue but I spend 90% of my time in firefox. 
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
    thanks

    I once had a similar problem under SuSE 10 (but with KDE), and the following solved this:
    - Copy your theme directory to /usr/share/icons/  and then choose  it in the XFCE-Menu (probably you already did this)
    - Now create the folder  .icons  under /home/username/  and copy your theme directory there as well, and also copy the default folder from /usr/share/icons/ there
    - In this default folder you now have to edit the file index.theme and replace (or create) there a line that says Inherits=core with Inherits=name_of_your_icon_directory (spell it the same way, with capital and small letters)
    Save this, log off, log on, maybe this solves the problem with firefox. For me it did back then.
    EDIT: I just realised that there is no longer a default-folder under /usr/share/icons/
    Hm, forget what I wrote, or try to create it by yourself (copy your icon directory to the name default and then edit the file). Don't know if it will work...

  • Coverflow and Front Row display the WRONG artwork

    I have tried all the answers I can find and also some more in depth ones as well....
    (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1284758)
    I have made sure there is only ONE artwork in the 'get info' of the track (the correct one)
    I have deleted the Album art folder (download and local) in the iTunes music folder
    I have deleted cache and preferences where I could find them for both iTunes and Front Row
    I have restarted!
    YET the same **** WRONG artwork still shows in the COVERFLOW and when using FRONT ROW to access your music with the remote!
    Can't find anything about this from Apple.... Surely this is an easy fix for Apple......?
    The last changed artwork (by modify date) is the one that coverflow and Front row should use...???
    iTunes displays the correct artwork, 'get info' shows there is only ONE artwork (the correct one)
    I have deleted everything I can think off and yet Coverflow and Front Row still display the old, incorrect artwork! and get this... if I delete the artwork completely, so it is the default "no artwork" icon that itunes displays Frontrow and coverflow STILL display the old incorrect one!
    Reading these forums I am amazed that something as basic and integral to the iTunes/iLife experience has been so blatently ignored and left to the users/forums to muddle through!
    Come on Apple! get your act together! this is crazy...
    I am NOT the only one with this problem!
    ANYWAY.... any advice?

    Me Also.
    Right now I only notice it on one album.
    Both the song playing and the artwork in the info box are correct, it's only coverflow that is wrong.
