Mouse cursor question....

On pages, how do i type where the mouse cursor is? On Word you can double click and start typing where the mouse cursor is. Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks
-Dave

Dave,
I haven't used Word for years, but it never worked that way for me, if I understand what you are getting at, and Pages doesn't work that way.
If you want to type just anywhere on a blank page, Insert > Text Box and position the box so the upper left corner is where you want to start. Then begin typing.

  • PC h8-1330a with NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 after windows log in black window with only mouse cursor

    Hi
    PC is an h8-1330a, and the video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 with driver version 9.18.13.270 dated 29/08/13. connected to a samsung TV via HDMI cable. It is running windows 8.1 OS.
    I have installed 1 additiona TV tuner card but otherwise the system is standard HP configuration as it was shipped.
    I suspect I have had an automatic windows update mess with the pc as I turned it on and after reaching the windows log in screen and logging in, pc appears to boot into windows and I only see a black screen with the mouse cursor. I can ctrl+alt+del and see task manager but no other windows will display. I tried to switch users and log in with a different account and get the same issue.
    I am struggling to enter safe mode or any other mode on boot up to see if i can roll back the video driver.
    i have tried hitting esc then f11 to do a restore to no avail.
    I cannot seem to enter safe mode on boot up via shift+f11 or f11.
    my Dad has the same PC and is not seeing this issue.
    wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things I can try?
    hoping to try a software fix before trying different video cards/monitors to isolate the issue.
    cheers,
    andrew
    This question was solved.

    Thanks,
    Shift + Restart from the log in screen finally got me into safe mode where i was able to perform a system restore

  • No mouse cursor on one monitor - Windows 7 Boot Camp

    Hello,
    I installed Windows 7, and ran the boot camp installer; however, since then, my mouse cursor does not appear on one of my two monitors. I can still click on things (if I can figure out where my invisible mouse is), but the arrow itself is just gone. This is only the case within Windows; mouse works fine on the Mac end.
    Hardware in question:
    Computer - Mac Pro with NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics card
    Monitor with issue - Hannspree widescreen monitor connected via HDMI cable + HDMI to mini DV adaptor
    Other monitor - hp fullscreen monitor, connected via VGA
    I'm wondering if it has something to do with my NVIDIA drivers on windows, because the mouse shenanigans seemed to start after this step in the Bootcamp installation process.
    Any ideas for how to fix this?
    Thanks very much.

  • Mouse cursor appearing as an arrow instead of a hand over album links

    Hi. I've just published my iWeb 08 site on .Mac (using Zone Edit to set up the CNAME for my personal domain, purchased from Last Digital). For some reason, when I hover over the links in the My Albums page, the mouse cursor appears as an arrow instead of the usual hand cursor. This has already confused a few of my testers, as obviously people are conditioned to expect a link where they see a hand. The links themselves work fine, it's just that the mouse cursor makes it look like they're not links. Does anyone know how this can be fixed so that the hand appears when you hover over each image? You can see the page in question here - http://www.paulinelockie.com/Pauline_Lockie/Portfolio/Portfolio.html

    That's the way it is.
    When you have multiple images in an album, and move the pointer over the album, you see the images displayed.
    Since it is not really a link, a pointer is used instead of the hand. It's a design decision.
    Send a feedback to the iWeb team.

  • Loading mulitple Adobe Flash web pages makes mouse cursor disappear

    I have a 2011 Mac Mini with OSX 10.7 Lion Server
    Regardless of the Browser used  - if I load mulitple Adobe Flash based Flickr photo slide show web pages, after 15 seconds my Mouse Cursor completely disappears and makes navigating the mac rather impossible.
    Its really buggy and forces me to click or "right click" (Option Click) randomly on the Desktop with the hope that I might briefly see the cursor return so I can close the browsers.
    Does not matter if i use Safari, Firefox or Chrome.
    These are the pages in question which give me grief -
    http://www.flickr.com/groups/warbirds/pool/with/8032123616/lightbox/
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/show/
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/x-ray_delta_one/show/
    must click the "play " to start the slide show, have all three running at the same time.
    And withing 10 seconds on my mac mini - NO Curser.
    Even if I try to move the mouse outside the Browser display area  - to where i clairvoyantly might consider the cursor should be over the Desktop.
    Typically results in the invisible cursor accidently creating numerous new folders on the desktop, as I frantically attempt to make the cursor re-appear.
    Totally maddening - and I have the Identical problem on Two separate 2011 Macs. (iMac 27 and Mac Mini)
    My local  Apple Genius Bar support person suggested I back up my data and perform  "OSX Recovery"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Stating its possble that my Adobe Flash was installed wrong.
    I have the latest updates
    OSX 10.7.4
    Flash Version 11.4.402.265

    Update.
    This solved the problem
    My local  Apple Genius Bar support person suggested this sequence and it fixed my disappearing cursor!
    1) Back Up personal Data
    2) Perform "OSX Recovery"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    3) Perform the Apple Software update
    4) Then install latest Adobe Flash
    This fixed my problem!
    Now I'll do the same fix for my 2011 iMac 27" with the identical issue.

  • [AwesomeWM] mouse cursor precision in java apps

    My mouse cursor isn't really precise in java apps, for example IntelliJ IDEA. The highlighted (and clicked) item is always below the cursor.
    In this case https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B594FZm … sp=sharing (Screenshot) the mouse cursor actually hightlights the row above, but the row below is selected and clicked).

  • No mouse cursor during Windows 8.1 OSD

    Hi,
    I have a problem that is bugging me. Not really a biggie but a frustrating one.
    When deploying Windows 8.1 using a MDT 2013 TS from CM12R2 the mouse cursor gets disabled when the OS reboots into minisetup/windows.
    As long as the TS is in WinPE all is fine, but once rebooted the cursor goes away and comes back only when the TS completes.
    The mouse is enabled as I can fool around with it and find where it is by clicking like a madman until a window gets highlighted.
    Deploying different DELL workstations/laptops, all with the same symptom.
    BR /T

    To my knowledge this is simply because of the Z-ordering of the windows during Windows setup.
    The question though is why does it matter? You shouldn't be doing anything interactive a this point in the TS.

  • Mouse Cursor glitching out

    Hi there,
    While playing Starcraft 2 my mouse cursor has been glitching out randomly. The problem occurs usually after playing for about a half hour or so online. odd lines will pass through the curosr messing up the pixels. I have been looking for solutions for the problem for a while. It appears as though this is a problem that has been fixed with new updated drivers from ati. Unfortunately my laptop has been preventing from updating the driver, here is my specs:
    HP DV6 3077ca
    i5 430m 
    4gb ddr3
    ati mobility radeon 5650
    So my questions are, is there a chance HP will update these drivers? or is there a work around for this problem?

    Uninstall ATI display drivers and synaptics touchpad drivers through Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features . Restart the computer and install the ones mentioned below.
    AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver(v8.771.1.0)
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50640.exe

  • Mouse cursor keeps disappearing under 10.7

    Ever since I've installed 10.7 I notice that the mouse cursor has a tendency to keep dissappearing in most apps, particularly Safari. For example, like when I click a text box to type an email in Hotmail. The cursor dissappears and only re-appears when I move the mouse to get the cursor out of the program app. But after it reappears, I got back to Safari it gets hidden again. This is very frustrating indeed as I have no idea where the mouse is on the page.
    As a matter of fact, as I enter this question in the text box, the cursor has completely dissappeared and only reappears (but then quickly hides again) when I go inside and outside of the text block. I know normally the cursor would dissappear when I started typing, but this happens even when I'm not and I'm shaking the mouse to try to unhide it
    However it seems to happen in other apps as well, but is most frequently happening in Safari probably mostly since that is my most common app.

    The cursor dissappears whenever you type on the keyboard. It just always happens globally.

  • Mouse Cursor Image

    Hello All,
    I have read that java.awt.Robot class does not capture the mouse cursor image when the desktop snapshot is taken, and I wanted to see how developers are getting around with this. Is a pure Java solution possible or they use JNI?.I have read that developers try to draw image of mouse cursor image at given x,y on the desktop image. What's the final possible solution?
    Thanks

    NitinThis has absolutely nothing to do with JMF, and you answered your own question. Take the screenshot and draw a cursor where the cursor should be. BufferedImages are easy to draw on.

  • My mouse cursor disappears behind the picture I'm working with!

    While I was working on a picture in Photoshop, my mouse cursor disappeared. No crosshairs (I've already tried turning the caps lock on and off). It was just gone. I moved my mouse around and it appears whenever I choose a new tool or when I'm working with the layers or when I use something from the drop down bar, the mouse is there when I don't have anything open in Photoshop--just when I have the program open--but whenever I start working on a picture or a blank canvas it disappears, like it's going underneath the canvas (I found I can still draw and erase on the canvas, I just can't tell where since the cursor is gone). This is frustrating because I use Photoshop to create my digital artwork and my drawing pad is small, so I need to know where my cursor is in order to draw accurately.
    Things I've done to resolve the problem thus far: I've downloaded the current Adobe update, I've tried adjusting my advanced properties settings on my computer, I've tried readjusting my cursor settings in my preferences, I've tried resetting my presets--thinking I might have miss clicked a combination of keys to make it happen--I've also tried closing out and going back into Photoshop, even turned my computer off, let it sit, and then turned it back on. But my mouse cursor continues to disappear underneath the canvas.
    I plan on uninstalling and then reinstalling my Photoshop software--I hope that works. Otherwise, if that doesn't, does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    Okay, so I figured this out how to resolve this issue a few days after posting my question. If you have the Nezumi Pro plugin for your Photoshop there is an option in the Nezumi settings to hide your cursor which can be easily activated by simply miss clicking F6. Once I figured this out and changed my cursor settings back to normal, my mouse reappeared.

    I have this question too but I found the answer at another thread. It is due to Adobe PDF plug-ins. In case you haven't seen it, the link is as follows:

  • Getting positon of Mouse Cursor

    Hi Everyone,
    Just a real quick question this time. When writing an AppleScript application does anyone know how to get the position of the mouse cursor in the window?
    Cheers
    Chris

    applescript doesn't provide this sort of information.
    AS is not a programming language, so it doesn't have an analog of every function or variable in the os. this is a good thing, because AS is so slow that if it was keeping track of the mouse, then your machine would go to its knees.
    I suggest you look into bridging cocoa to AppleScript. in recent years Apple has tied AS strongly with cocoa, allowing for things like Applescript studio.

  • Baffling mouse cursor freezes if I remove the WIRED ethernet connection??

    Hi all
    I just installed XP professional on my S10  model 4231 bios 14cn34ww  dated 08/26/2008
    so if I run it connected to the lan using the wired connector all is well BUT the moment I take out the rj45 the mouse cursor freezes. If I plug it back in then all is well again.
    I want to use this outside so I need to get this fixed.
    any ideas please?
    thanks

    hi majorkong,
    It sounds like there's a possible short somewhere on the system.
    Try to do the following:
    1. Restart the computer in Safe Mode with Networking (continuously press F8 during boot-up).
    2. If all is well, perform a clean boot and observe.
    3. If same problem, open Network Connections (press Windows Key + R, then type ncpa.cpl)
    4. On the network connections, disable the Local Area Connection.(do a right click > disable)
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    5. After disabling the LAN, reboot into normal mode & try to use the Touchpad
    6. If the Touchpad responded without any issues, try to re-install both the Ethernet driver and then re-install theTouchpad driver

  • Change mouse cursor to pointer

    Hello!
    I have an Image control that I use to perform an action on
    click.
    How can I make the mouse cursor change to pointer on
    mouseOver and back to default on mouseOut, please?
    Thank you!

    Assuming you're talking about the hand-pointer cursor, you
    need to set three properties (useHandCursor, mouseChildren and
    buttonMode), as the attached example shows.
    If you want to use a cursor besides the default pointer,
    hand-pointer or busy cursor, then you need to dig further into
    using the CursorManager. It's a little bit of extra work but it's
    not too bad;
    null
    see
    the LiveDocs entry on setting and removing cursors
    Hope that answers your question.
