Mouse pointer stays rainbow
Lately, my mouse pointer has been staying as the rainbow circle even after a process if finished. Mostly notice it after switching back to my user from another. The pointer will not change to an arrow until I open Safari and roll over a button (which results in the mouse point changing to the hand and subsequently back to normal as an arrow).
Any ideas?

Launch Activity Monitor in /Applications/Utilities/ and watch for any process that shows *not responding*. Then, trash the associated preference file (.plist file). Does the problem show up in both accounts?

Suggest mouse pointer should be redrawn when popup dialogue shown
When browsing through photos in the library the mouse pointer is correct turned off to avoid masking the photo. Even returning to the gallery view (G) the mouse pointer is still turned off, which is fine. Moving the mouse bring the pointer back however if the mouse is not moved and then action taken to prompt a popup dialogue using the keyboard (say you tagged some photos as rejected and then ctrl+backspace) the mouse pointer is left turned off.
Still able to navigate popup dialogue via keyboard but suggest mouse pointer should be turned back on when popup dialogue appears..
Running Vista + LR3.3
Ta,
ChrisChris,
Are you saying that when you bring up a dialogue box by using a keyboard shortcut, the mouse pointer stays hidden and doesn't reappear even when you move the mouse?
I can't reproduce that on Windows XP. The mouse pointer is hidden when the dialogue box comes up, but any movement of the mouse brings the pointer back.
Is your mouse driver up to date?

After updated software on mac mini with os x 10.7.5 and restart the mouse pointer after about 30 sec. converted to the rainbow wheel and I can't control the computer. The rainbow wheel was runnig 8 hrs and I turn off mac mini by power button, then I turn on mac mini with key Shift and p/w, checked HD. My HD has
capacity 499.25 GB used 86.91GB. Is there a solution to fix this problem axcept the reinstall os?Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
for k in /Sy*/L*/Ex*/{,.?}*.kext; do test -f "$k/Contents/Info.plist" && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$_" | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo $k; done | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
Repeat with this line:
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 4
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, Steps 1-4 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -
Mouse pointer changes to Black & White circle!
Hello everybody,
I wrote this script and saved it as an app called "Sleep":
tell application "Finder"
eject disk "STORAGE"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
sleep
end tell
tell application "Sleep"
quit
end tell
This has worked perfectly except when the computer wakes, the mouse pointer is the black and white circle. Everything still works normally (I think), but it is really annoying.
Is there anything that I can add to my script to change my mouse pointer back to normal?Hello
Try removing the part telling your applet to quit, which is not necessary unless your applet is saved as stay-open.
The modified script would look like:
--SCRIPT
tell application "Finder"
eject disk "STORAGE"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
sleep
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT
Hope this may help,

Disable the mouse pointer icon!
As in the title, is there a way to disable the mouse pointer
icon, ie when you rollover the button it changes to the "finger". I
dont want to see the "finger" I just want it to remain as the
"arrow"quote:

over all buttons. I find the finger pointer rather useless as
well.
Well, I must by now reply to all of you.
First, "urami" made a good point when referring to kiosk
interfaces. It makes sense to have no roll over in this case and I
fully agree with this statement.
But in the case of the interfaces we commonly create in Flash
we need the finger icon to indicate that there is a photo-button or
a drawing-button or a clickable text here and, if we want to "hide"
it or if we do not want the user click it, we can with simple
functions (related to _x and _y mouse position) disable or enable
depending the circumstances the hot spot when the pointer rolls
over it.
The quoted remark of "DMennenoh" is not relevant.
Why? Simply because in the OS all buttons are clearly
designed as... buttons! There is no need to change the pointer icon
as we perfectly know what we are going to do and where we must move
the pointer to do the action: Open, Save, etc. And it is not only
the case for buttons, it's also the case for the menu bar...
In the interfaces we design, it is not always the case.
In all my interfaces, I always have in mind these:
How shall I react if I see this interface for the first time?
What can I do and where?
I suppose you'll agree with me if I say that some interfaces
are so bad that it is very helpful to have the finger icon just to
indicate that the area under the pointer is clearly a hot spot...
I think this discussion is far from ending... -
Mouse pointer does not go away during videos.
I have the macbook pro 13 inch with retina display and I have never been able to get the mouse pointer to go away. It stays on the screen for youtube videos, itunes visualizer, and other online videos. Is there a setting I need to enable? I know my friend's mouse pointer disappears on the itunes visualizer and youtube videos. Anyone have any ideas?
Have you tried moving the mouse cursor to the right bottom corner of the screen? Any of the 4 corners?

Mac mini server mid 2011 lion mouse pointer disappears after sleep
Hi,
I bought a mid 2011 mac mini server (quad core) running OSX Lion (10.7.2), and I use it with the magic trackpad. Sometimes (not every time) when I wake the computer from sleep (I let it sleep via the menu at night), the mouse pointer is not visible. I can use the trackpad, and move the mouse and click, only I cannot see where I click because the mouse pointer is not visible.
The batteries in the trackpad are OK.
When I plug in a USB mouse, I can move and click that too, but the mouse pointer is still invivible.
So it seems to be OSX related
The only thing that seems to help is to restart the system. After reboot the mouse is back as normal. Still this is very annoying as it makes sleep quite useless.
Anyone else suffering from this? Any solutions? Thanks.
Thanks,
GinoI also have this issue intermittantly but fairly often.
But sometimes the cursor comes back but the screen stays black except where the cursor has moved across, revealing the screen, a bit like using the spraycan tool in MacPaint years ago.
And to top it off I have a problem with sleep making all the open apps try to quit, but one is always unable to, and it seems to lock everthing up until I wake up the mac, and then all the apps that were open do resume, but in the meantime any TV programs that should have recorded (by waking up mac to record) using my Elgato EyeTV have been missed ... -
My OWN mouse pointer movie issue
Hi ive made a mouse pointer movie in flash. When i rollover the butones that i have on my movie works.
When i enter in the movie it start to drag and it work perfectly.
The only problems that i have is that when the people that they take out the mouse off my stage of movie i want that
mouse pointer to not stay there on the border up down right and even left.
When is out with the real pointer to desseaper complete ,because is dosent look very nice staying there nearly to the borders of my flash movie.
i have a movie with 120width and 100height.
so when its louding the movie work apper my mouse that i made,now i want to put some code in to dessepear compleatly when i get out of the movie with the pointer on the all borders!...
Paul
SpainMine works similarly, but that exampole you link to appears to use location detection to start a tween that makes the object gradually disappear. I say this because the distance from the edge where it stops and fades differs every time. It most likely is set to occur at some distance less than the actual width and height of the stage since it does not happen at the edge, always somewhere before it.
So you could use a conditional to test if you want to change the alpha...
Mouse.hide();
pointer_mc.startDrag(true);
this.onMouseMove = function(){
if(_xmouse < 5 || _ymouse < 5 || _xmouse > Stage.width-5 || _ymouse > Stage.height-5){
pointer_mc._alpha = 0;
} else {
pointer_mc._alpha = 100; -
Safari won't open and wheel (mouse pointer) keeps spinning
Hi guys.
I'm going crazy here as everything I've read and tried doesn't work?
I've deleted cache files, history, plug-ins etc etc and every time I try and launch Safari, I keep getting the spinning wheel/beach ball/mouse pointer and safari doesn't open?
I've received the following long error message and it may as well be in Arabic as I haven't got a clue what it means?
Any techies out there who could shed some light "Error message for dummies' style please?
This is the report error.
Cheers,
Marc

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

no matter what website, every time I move the mouse pointer over something to click on a line of black printing in a thin white box pops up at the bottom of the screen and shows me the http address of the item I'm about to click on. I want to shut this function off or remove it if possible. I find that the previous version did not do this, it seems to be unique to 6.0. It's VERY distracting and ANNOYING. How can I make it go away????
When you hover the mouse cursor over any link, it will display the link details at the bottom left of the screen; black font on white background.
This display can be very important as it shows the full address of the hyperlink. This can be particulary useful for checking on whether the link is bona-fida. For example; if you receive an email that looks like it is from a bank , hovering over the link will indicate instantly that the link is pretending to be something it isn't.
Another example that can be useful; a website link may say 'contact me' rather than give the actual email address. However, when you hover over the link, the actual email address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the link then Outlook usually opens, however I do not use Outlook, so displaying the email address is useful.
This display is something that has always been present and it is also displayed if you use IE.
However, I can see that this annoys you, so you could try the following:
[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-location-bar/?src=api]]
After installing the addon, you will need to restart Firefox, then go to History and Restore previous session to get all your tabs and webpages back.
You will now find that when you hover over any link, it will now display in your address bar on the right hand side.
If this helps, please say this question has been solved. -
I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.
It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

C655D 5210 tosiba black screen with mouse pointer
I have only had this computer for 8 months. One day I turned it on, and windows kept restarting. After a few trouble shooting steps off the internet, I decided to reinstall windows 7 and lose my data and start all over. The first time it could not repair the computer and asked me to send the information to microsoft. Cannot boot in safe mode, I can get to the setup utility screen. This is a new Windows 7 cd. After several tries, it installed and said it had to restart, (this may happen several times) it only restarted once, then a black screen with a cursor. When I try to boot from the cd, the windows logo apppears, then a black screen with mouse pointer again. Toshiba is no help at all. This is my third Toshiba laptop. The first one did the same thing. But it was out of warranty, the amount they wanted to charge us, i just got another one. My mom's Toshiba just died with no real reason, the old one is in the garbage, and this one is only 8 months old. Toshiba would like us to send the computer in, pay for shipping, wait for 3 weeks, pay to ship it back to us, with a promise that it may not work.
Please help

Mouse pointer Problem with CS3 and windows 7
Upgraded
to a new PC which has Windows 7(32bit) as an operating system. Installed my Photoshop CS3 and everything seems ok except when I magnify in the navagator panel. Once I zoom in my mouse pointer changes to 3 hands in the navigator panel. I powered up my old laptop which has Vista and my CS3
then matched up the mouse settings in the control panel on the new PC. Used the same usb mouse on both PC's, the older Vista laptop worked fine but the windows 7 PC would get a tripple pointer in the navigation panel when I magnified. In the windows 7 laptop I then set the compatibility for Photoshop CS3 to run in XP mode but the problem did not clear. I see in FAQ for CS4 people have complained about tripple cursers in windows 7 but the replies indicated that the recommended fix did not work. Any help apreciated.
TomThanks for your solution. I by changing the setting to 125% I am now able to use CS3 without tripple pointers.
My eyesight is challenged so the decrease in text is a challenge but I can change the setting when I will use CS3 so I have a workarount.
Thanks,
Tom -
Mouse pointer invisible - intel 945GM
Hey people, thought I would document this in case others have problems. I have partially solved the issue, but if someone knows a better solution please contribute. I think this is specific to the intel xorg driver but not totally sure.
I rebooted my eeepc (Intel 945GM, using stock driver) today and when I got into X there was no mouse pointer. I quickly found that the mouse is in fact there, you can right-click and get a menu etc, its just there is no pointer so your flying blind.
A bit of Googling suggested it was something to do with using xrandr to enable/disable outputs, which is what I do. At home the eeepc sits on the desk connected to my external monitor. In my .xinitrc I have it set up so it detects when its connected to the monitor and automatically enables it (VGA) and disables the laptop screen (LVDS).
So to try and get the mouse back I re-enabled the LVDS
xrandr --output LVDS --auto
The eeepc screen comes back on (in clone mode) and sure enough the mouse pointer is visible on that screen, but not on the external VGA. After a bit of tooling around I found that if you enable both screens in extended desktop mode, the pointer is then visible on both.
xrandr --output LVDS --right-of VGA --auto
Once the pointer is working on both screens you can then turn off the LVDS again, and the pointer remains working on the external, everything back to normal.
xrandr --output LVDS --off
PART 2 - This is actually a question if anyone can help me
In order to use dual monitors like an extended desktop, you will find that you need to set the virtual desktop size in your xorg.conf display section. Something like:
virtual 2304 1024
BUT...since we now bask in the glory that is hot-plugging and hal wizardry, I don't have an xorg.conf. Does anyone know how to set the virtual framebuffer size using xrandr, without having to use an xorg.conf?
And while I think about it, why do we even need to set a virtual size manually really, xorg knows the dimensions of connected displays, you would think it could set a default virtual framebuffer to the width of the connected outputs, would make it much easier. /rant
Anyway, any more info on the subject much appreciated.
Last edited by Wittfella (2009-10-22 14:36:09)The cursor issue sounds like an upstream bug - you should report it to https://bugs.freedesktop.org.
Wittfella wrote:Does anyone know how to set the virtual framebuffer size using xrandr, without having to use an xorg.conf?
Can't be done. The virtual fb size tells your graphics driver how big a framebuffer to allocate at X start time. It can't be changed later. Which is too bad, and a major limitation of randr. I think it does set the virtual fb size correctly when it starts, but that size will be wrong when you add another monitor for example. -
Moving mouse pointer to menu dims window and shows all open windows at once
when i'm in safari and i move my mouse pointer to the upper left corner of a window that is almost full screen, that window dims and a black bar appears in the middle of this window with a discription of it. as an example
APPLE=SUPPORT-DISCUSSIONS-POST MESSAGE:NEW THREAD
if i have 2 windows open one shows lower left and the other upper right and i have to click the mouse button on the window i was using to get it back and get the other behind it.
is there a setting in preferances that causes this that i can change?This is what happens for one of the active corners for Exposé, if ("all windows") is the upper left corner. Take a look at "System preferences" , Dashboard & Exposé.
