My apple mouse is showing a cross or hand instead of an arrow

my apple mouse is showing a small cross and a hand, not the usual pointer.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

  • Mouse Pointer shows "Edit Cursor" "|" where it should be a arrow (pointer)

    I have noticed that at times the mouse pointer shows a Edit cursor when it should be
    a standard mouse arrow.
    This happens when a leave one application and navigate to another application.
    I am able to use the "|" cursor to click, but it seems rather odd.
    I would really like to know if someone else has noticed this?

    Are you using Fast User Switching (FUS)? Are you running an application that keeps a window always on top?
    I have encountered a reproducible problem which causes the mouse pointer to fail to revert to the default arrow. I do not know if it is a general OS X issue, or caused by this specific app only (I just reported the problem to the app vendor, will report back on the resolution).
    In my case, if user "A" is running a program that has an "always on top" window, and that application has the "focus", and I then use FUS to switch to any other user, the mouse pointer for that user will "stick" in its most recent variation - be it a pointing finger (for a link), an edit cursor, a window resize cursor, etc. If you move from a link for example to a text box, the cursor will change to the new form, but it will not revert to the default arrow. To "solve" the problem, do this:
    before using FUS to change to another user, click on another application (e.g. the Finder), so that the problem application does not have the "focus". Does any of this relate to your problem?

  • My mouse scrolls shows each line moving up instead of moving one line at a time annoying

    Since downloading firefox 3.6 when I scroll down a page it shows each line moving up instead of just moving one line up its very annoying

    It could be that there is not enough memory in the printer or the print server to hold the entire document while printing. The printer gets Postscript files, which are larger than the original document. Also, if you are doing multiple copies, if you collate the pages, that takes more memory than printing each page multiple times.

  • Macbook pro Late 2011 13.3 inch i7 keyboard and trackpad not working bluetooth showing a cross sign and no usb mouse is detected. Almost dead keyboard and mouse. Earlier same problem used to be solved by opening the lower cover and closing it.

    My macbook pro 13.3 inch i7 late 2011 edition has previously encountered unresponsive trackpad and keyboard. To solve that, I used to open the back cover and then close it. It has been working fine since that. Yesterday, same thing happened, this time I noticed that bluetooth icon is showing a cross sign across it and keyboard and trackpad were unesponsive. After some time , everything worked fine and bluetooth sign was back to normal. Then , suddenly it went back to the problem. I shut it down by holding the power button. When I booted it again, I could not login because keyboard and trackpad were not working. I attached a HP mouse it didnt work. I opened the back cover disconnected the battery and then connected it again, didnt worked. Since then , I have tried many things and nothing has solved the problem.

    @sanjampet
    As you suggested I reset the smc, in the first boot nothing worked. In the second boot, it all worked like a charm. I thought that my problem is resolved now. To test it, I shut it down properly. Next morning, I powered it on, all things i.e, keyboard, trackpad, bluetooth etc. worked and I thought that problem has been solved. When I was just going to visit apple forum to reply you,  the same problem reappeared. A sawtooth cross over bluetooth icon, keyboard not working, trackpad not working,no usb mouse working which worked well when it was fine. I reset smc so many times again and again but same problem continued. Isn't it a problem of the firmware?
    Next time when it will work, I will update its firmware.
    My macbook was bought in dec2011 so no warranty now.

  • Selection tool - shows mouse pointer as a "cross" - what is that?

    Sorry for a dummy question, but I cannot find an answer... For some compositions, clicking on a selection tool changes mouse poiunter to a cross-like shape and i cannot select anything on the composition window. What is this? how can I get back to a normal arrow-like pointer?
    Thanks!

  • Crossed out symbol instead of an apple during start up

    Start ups have been getting slower and slower for me and now I can't even get past the white screen. I now have a crossed out symbol instead of an apple during start up and the wheel is just spinning. I tried to start it up in safe mode and this is what I get. Even if I get to the login screen, things are frozen and I can't entrer my credentials either with mouse or keyboard. Typing this in from a PC. Yikes! Help!

    Please read and execute all the steps in Apple's Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

  • On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!

    - Note that apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Is there a way to force my first generation apple tv to show up in iTunes without a TV?

    Is there a way to force my first generation apple tv to show up in iTunes without a TV?

    It would have to be connected to a TV to get the code off of it to to set it up in devices.  After that it would not actually have to be connected to a TV just to show up in devices....  but I am assuiming you actually want to USE ATV?  And for that it would still need to be connected to a TV.

  • Apple TV not showing up in device list in iTunes

    Apple TV stopped showing up in the devices list in iTunes when I tried to sync my movies, and iTunes froze in mid-sync. Since there is no "eject" button for Apple TV in iTunes, the only thing to do was to close iTunes. When I opened it up again...no more Apple TV under devices. Apple TV works as a stand-alone and I can purchase and view using controls in Apple TV, but I can't sync iTunes with Apple TV, so all my previous purchases are stuck in iTunes until I can sync again. I have tried all the work-arounds suggested by Apple. This is my second Apple TV. The first one did the same thing before the returns deadline kicked in. Hey Apple!! Wake up and fix this!!! If I can't sync with iTunes then I am not putting any money into movie rentals or purchases!! This is costing YOU $$$$$$$$!!

    I had this problem and tried most of the suggested solutions. I could ping the ATV, so I had not network problems. Finally, this is the suggestion that worked for me (Windows 7 user running iTunes 9.1.0.79):
    - power off the ATV
    - open iTunes on the computer;
    - ensure "Share my library on local network is enabled in iTunes (Edit--Preferences--Sharing);
    - power on the ATV;
    - go to "Add Shared iTunes Library" on the ATV (Setting-->Computer menu, second line of the menu) which puts up a new passcode on the screen;
    - DON'T proceed with inputting the passcode number to add the shared iTunes Library, but instead press "menu" button on ATV remote to exit the "Add Library" function and return to the ATV setting menu;
    - this step seems to wake up the ATV<-->iTunes connection and at this point the ATV device reappeared on iTunes!;
    - on the ATV (Setting--Computer menu) I was then able to connect to the nominated iTunes library (top line of the menu) and enter the passcode required by that screen.

  • I am using an apple TV to show a slide show which is sent via WiFi from a mini computer.  The slide show repeats for a few hours and then stops and shows "no signal".  What's going on- and how do I get the show to cycle indefinitely?

  • Apple Mouse Magic with Windows Vista

    Hello!
    My computer is Windows Vista 32 bits.
    I have bluetooth mouse "Apple Mouse Magic", I got to work on Windows Vista I installed the drivers, but every time I reboot or re-enter Windows does not recognize me, and I have to link each time the mouse with a program Bluetooth BlueSoleil.
    Does anyone know how I can leave it linked to Windows Vista without using an intermediary the "BlueSoleil"?
    I tried adding it through the bluetooth device but there's no framework for when the box "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" whenever I get the same error:
    "Error while Windows save the settings. It is possible that the Bluetooth device is disconnected.
    Do not keep the following configuration:
    -Configuration Discovery
    "Connection Settings"
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you

    In reality... probably. Why would you want it anyway? There are many many better mice out there.
