Mouse cursor turned into beach ball

Within my son's user account, the mouse cursor has turned into the beach ball. It doesn't spin and he can use it normally as a cursor (both with apps and with the Finder), but it's annoying (and too big for a cursor tip).
Who can help me out?
Thanks a lot
Peter

As far as I know, mighty mouse software (in System Preferences If I am not mistaken) allows one to bring customisations to the cursor used.
There is a "haxie" program also called "Mighty Mouse" that does this, hyphen. Its not the same thing as the Mighty Mouse System Prefs panel, though.
THe Universal Access System Prefs will let you change the SIZE of the cursor, but not the shape.
This has got to be a .plist issue in the User's Library Prefs folder of some kind I would think.
Cheers
Rod

  • My cursor turns into a revolving rainbow disk. How do I repair this problem?

    My cursor turns into a revolving rainbow disk and remains frozen in that state. The only way I can "unfreeze" the disk is to turn off the computer and reboot. What is causing the problem and how do I fix it without rebooting?

    Thomas,
    What you are referring to is called the Spinning Beach Ball of Death and can be caused by many things. One of the most prominent is a lack of RAM. Keep Activity Monitor open (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and the next time you have a SBBOD take a look at AM and see how much Free RAM you have. You will find this information under the System Memory tab. As a general rule of thumb if it's less than 500MB you probably need a RAM upgrade.
    You can also read and apply information from the Spinning Beach Ball of Death article.
    Also did you know you were posting in an iMac forum?

  • Cursors turn into cross-hairs sometimes.

    I have Adobe Photoshop CS4. My pen tool and paint brush tool cursors turn into hard-to-see cross-hairs sometimes. It makes my work more difficult and strains my eyes and give me a headache. How does it do that in the first place and how do I fix it?

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
    I had no idea what was doing it! Give yourself a cookie or something for me!

  • Cursor turned into a cross

    My cursor turned into a plus sign and when I try to select something in it it spazzes. I'm having trouble working with it.

  • 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.'

    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.

  • My cursor turns into a erasure point randomly.

    My cursor will randomly turn into a erasure so wherever I drag it, it erases the on screen image.  It shows the gray hatched screen of the log in page under
    what it erased.  It will not function to open links or perform any other commands.  Restarting the MBP solves the problem but only a matter of time before it happens again.  Took to Genius Bar but since it was not doing it at the time they said to just document it when it happened again.
    Thanks

    When the issue occurs, do you have any peripherals connected to your computer?
    Mac OS X (10.4.6)
    Use Software Update to update your os to 10.4.11 and anything else that needs to be updated.  Afterwards, repair permissions and restart your computer.  If the issue returnes with no peripherals attached to your computer, take the computer right back the repair shop.

  • When clicking on a link within a pdf nothing happens. When I mouse over the link the cursor turns into a finger/hand with a W at the bottom.

    Both Adobe and Firefox are on the lastest versions. Clicking on the link deosnt bring anything up.

    Does this only happen if you open the file embedded in Firefox and not when you open the external Adobe Reader (Tools > Options > Applications) ?

  • Help! 10.4.6 made my mouse pointer turn into a little white square :(

    i have a dual proc. 450 mhz g4 powermac (gigabit ethernet). the only 'extras' i have put in is a superdrive, a usb2.0 card (for my new ipod) and thats it. it has os 10.4 on it. it had the standard ati rage 128 pro video card in it.
    well, i attained a nvidia geforce2 mx card with 64 mb on it. so i decided to put it in the mac. all was fine. well tonight i finally software updated my system which put 10.4.6 on the computer. when restarting i usually saw the black mouse pointer appear in the top left coner as login and all that took place. but now with 10.4.6 i saw a blue square.
    now my mouse pointer is a little square of various colors. sometime it is white, which is a pain when a document or webpage is in the background. sometimes is is mutil colored, sometimes pink.
    im sure it is something with 10.4.6 and not hardware related. when i start up from a tiger install disc or panther install disc its a normal pointer. but when updating to 10.4.6 the problem occurs.
    i want my mouse pointer back

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try swapping back in the original graphics card.
    If that works, then the graphics card you put in needs a firmware update.

  • Does Yosemite have a sticky finger?  Screen freezes, but arrow cursor turns into a hand with a page stuck on its finger.

    It just started freezing after the update.

    Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

  • Beach Balls and freezes after installing Safari 3.1 and security update

    Hi,
    I just recently installed the safari 3.1 update and the security update. My machine is an iMac 2.4 GHz with 10.5.2. Prior to this, the machine only had one freeze (had to power off) which happened a about a month back. Since the update, 2 days ago, the machine seems to show the beach ball more often. On one specific occasion (happened when my son was using it), the Chess game was running, and the mouse cursor turned into a beach ball and everything froze - can only move the mouse cursor/beach ball but nothing else responded. Even hitting the caps lock key took minutes before the caps lock light came on. Me being a windows user for a long time, I was blindly trying to find the keyboard equivalent of ctrl-alt-del to pull up a process list of some kind so that I can kill the offending app. But was not successful, hence I had to power off.
    On another occasion, and this time, it happened to me - the beach ball came up as I was using safari. I could use other stuff in the OS, but any time I brought the cursor over safari, it would turn into a beach ball. After waiting a few minutes and clicking away on the safari window, the beach ball turned into a finger cursor when I clicked on the http address window - and safari started to work like normal again.
    I'm wondering if anyone else has had experiences similar to this and if there are any steps I can take to prevent this again.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple forums:
    Did you perform both updates at the same time? I usually recommend doing them one-at-a-time, so if anything happens you know which update caused the problem.
    I especially never do a system update with any other update. I always do that one last, and wait for the dust to settle by reading this board first.
    You should run DU and check the HD and repair permissions. That's a start.

  • Screen turns bright yellow & green curser turns into a large yellow square.

    When I play any type of 3d game, such as world of warcraft my screen turns bright yellow and green. The mouse cursor turns into a large yellow square. Then it will make squiggly patterns across the screen in these colors, Almost like a argyle pattern. The only way to fix this is force quit the program (or if I can see the game still) I have to make it non-full screen. Iam thinking it might be a video card error, but iam not sure. Anyone experience this before?
    Steve.
    Imac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   First gen Imac with intel chip 20 inch. 128 vid card.

    Are you running your monitor at its native resolution? If changing the resolution of the game solves the problem as I take it from your sentence quoted here:
    "The only way to fix this is force quit the program (or if I can see the game still) I have to make it non-full screen"
    Then you probably should try changing the resolution of the screen before playing the game. Most games will do this automatically but if the ones you are playing do not then you may need to search for updates to them. Very few games are designed to run in wide screen mode, but generally in more traditional resolutions such as 640 x 480 or some other resolution with the same relationship between width and height.
    This is my best guess anyway. Hope you get the problem solved.

  • System stops working pointer turns into a circle and starts again

    My system slows down as the mouse cursor turns into a circle from time to time and then starts working again. Things become pretty slow. Shut down and start takes a long long time.

    That can indicate a too-full hard drive. Highlight your hard drive's icon and then do "Get Info..." from the Finder's "File" menu. That will look something like this:
    "Available" needs to be about 20MB or 15 percent of "Capacity," whichever is greater. If the drive is too full, this article will help you regain space:

    This just happened here twice to. Was working in Photoshop CC on my Cintiq HD24 Touch when the cursor turned into a static beach ball. First time i ended up rebooting (really annoiying). Second time i opened Chrome to google this bug. Somewhere in the process of searching information my cursor changed back to an arrow???

  • Spinning Beach Ball when trying to install CC

    Help, help, help me pleeeeeze? I have job to do before the end of the weekend... I'm getting desperate!
    I got the dmg file and tried to use the Creative Cloud Installer to start my free trial, but double clicking on the installer icon only produces a DLOG that says "Initializing Installer" with an empty progress bar and "Retry" and "Cancel" buttons. Neither of which is available, as the cursor turns into a spinning beach ball immediately, and nothing happens.

    Unfortunately, the fix didn't stick. When the CC app told me it needed an update last night, I downloaded the update (because it wouldn't let me run AI unless I did), opened the .dmg file. It opened the DLOG (Initiating) and then wham: spinning beach ball forever. I have already tried:
    Activity Monitor & canceled the task
    Repaired permissions
    Restarted computer
    Re-downloaded the CC app
    --no good, same outcome
    so, I...
    Canceled the task in the Activity Monitor
    Plugged in the ethernet and turned off the WIFI (which is what fixed it, finally, the FIRST time this happened
    Shut down and restarted the computer
    Ran the Cleaner program [http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html] (uninstalled *every* Adobe program on my computer)
    Re-downloaded the CC app and attempted install
    --no good, same outcome
    Frustrated out of my mind at that point, I shut off the computer and walked away. I don't know how the hell I'm ever going to get any work done! I'm sure not convinced I should buy a subscription at this point. I think I'll have to let my trial expire and just do all my free-lance work at my daytime job! Adobe won't be making any more money from me that way.
