Mouse & Trackpad cursor not showing up after sleep (MBP)

This is happening more consistently and its getting frustrating. When waking my MacBook Pro from sleep, the cursor doesn't appear. I can tell its moving around, but no cursor is visible. Unplugging and replugging the mouse in doesn't help on either USB port. Force-quiting the finder doesn't work either.
Anyone experiencing this? I searched a bit, but didn't see a similar issue listed, although there seem to be plenty of other waking issues.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Unfortunately I am at work right now and can't try any of them yet. Here is some more info about my system. I am anxious to get home and try to resolve this issue.
I recently bought this system used. The previous owner stated there were no problems with it. As soon as I received it, I upgraded to 10.5.2, so I don't know if it was doing this before then. I do have an external hard drive attached via FireWire (not USB). The only other things attached to this system is the monitor, keyboard/mouse and a printer.
Any other tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the insight!

  • New gesture trackpad options not showing up in Lion

    Why would the new trackpad options not show up after upgrading to Lion and downloading all of the updates? It's not as easy to get between full screen apps without the ability to swipe.

    2008. That's probably why. I didn't realize that it only supported a couple years back. You'd think they could fix something like that in the software...

  • OHS 11gR1 web-page not showing up after creation, registration of webgate

    Hello there,
    The OHS webpage on host:7777 is not showing up after I created, registered the webgate on oam 11g console. I copied the 2 artifacts into the ohs proxy server box in the webgate/config folder and restarted OHS instance but now, the ohs page won't show up. The opmn status says its alive but it doesnt show up in the browser.
    I have oam 11.1.2 installed with webgate 11.1.2 and ohs webtier 11.1.1.6.0. Am I missing any step? Do I need to create a authentication scheme before I check it? Please advise to the earliest convenience.
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    You need to create authentication scheme. also create resourse for index.html page in OAM console and add it to protected resourse list. So when you will access OHS with 7777 port it will redirect to OAM SSO page, after successful login it will take you to the home page of OHS.
    mark, if this helps.
    Regards,
    Kishore

  • The templates are not showing up after I select them???

    the templates on pages are not showing up after I select them....unless I highlight the entire page and select a particular colour.  That leaves all the colours in the photo off.  Any help would be so very helpful.   

    CeraG - It will help to answer if you supply your system version, pages version and if you lately have done anything to the computer (installing, uninstalling etc)
    I think you have forgotten to do a Software update or it could also be a font problem but more info from you is needed!

  • Why is it not showing anything after I plugged in my USB hard drive? I cannot locate the drive in my macbook. FYI this happened after few times using it.

    I need help as I am new to IOS.
    Currently it is not showing anything after I plugged in the hdd to my mac book.

    I had the same exact issue, which you can see in another forum.
    I "killed" both my MBP and my wife's MBP by plugging in my iPhone and getting a  message about USB drawing too much power.
    It was not fixed by using an SMC reset.
    I DID fix it by unplugging the battery, I left it unplugged long enough to remove the RAM, HD and put some RAM and HD back into place. (I initially swapped the RAM and HD from my MBP into my wife's MBP.
    After that everything was good, although upon first boot, some apps crashed because of the "system date" being set to a date before 2000. I forget the exact date, but it will be some time in 1984, the birthdate of the Macintosh. It is not a big issue, just correct the date and time.
    If you are curious about that date, copy a large file on your drive and look at the CREATED/MODIFIED date....it will show this same date, until the copy is complete, at which time you will see the correct one.
    Once again, try to disconnect your battery, very carefully by lifting up the connecter evenly on both sides to avoid damaging the connector or the board.

  • I am trying to update a chart in Pages that I created in Numbers, but the refresh button does not show up after I save the Numbers file. Thoughts?

    I am trying to update a chart in Pages that I created in Numbers, but the refresh button does not show up after I save the Numbers file. Thoughts?

    It is hard to exactly understand what you have  done or not by you one sentence description. My thought is have you read in the Pages User Guide? Here is what it says about updating a chart in Pages:
    Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document
    If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Pages document. After it’s been pasted into Pages, the chart remains linked to the data tables it references in Numbers. To change the chart data, open the original Numbers document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the chart data in Pages.To update a chart after you’ve updated its linked Numbers table:
       Select the chart on the page and click the Refresh button that appears.
    Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
    I hope it has helped you.

  • IMac screen will not come on after sleep

    iMac screen does not come on after sleeping for a period of time - twice now from overnight. The back seems to be warm. I have to hold the on button until I hear the drive and system shut down.  Then after period of time it will start just fine.  ?????

    I know that some of the older imacs had overheating problems that caused unexpected sleep.  try to keep the display darker and keep the room not too hot.  That seems to usually solve the issue.
