My cursor has disappeared in Word after updating my iMac.

Just updated to OS X 10.9.3 and now I can't see my cursor when using word how do I fix this??
I'm writing an essay and it's extremely frustrating.
Can someone please help me fix it.

Ohhh I did fine it. Thank you very much. I was looking for 'scanner'. In the applications folder, it is listed as 'Image Capture'. I wonder if there is a way to have it on my desktop instead of having to open the applications folder each time? I do thank you as it is much appreciated.

System has slowed down considerably after updates from Apple. Is SyncServer the culprit?

I use MacBook with preinstalled OS Leopard since April 2009. I have also regulalry updated my computer system using the Software Update application. However, since my last update on 12th Aug 2011, I have noticed that my system has slowed down. There is long pause between every character I type, delay in switching applications, battery dries out quicker, slow response to every command.
I have started facing this problem after updating following software like iTunes 10.4, Safari 5.0.6, Migration Assistant Update for MAC OS Leopard & Quick Time 7.7 from Software Updater. Although, my OS is still leopard.
I noticed on the Activity Monitor that syncserver is using majority of my RAM and reappers even if I stop the process. Some of its subprocess like AddressBookSync also appears and consumes lot of memory. Is this the problem? Though, I never noticed earlier what size it consumed.
I use Microsoft Office suite for Mac and have also checked and deselected all sync services. Yet, the Process (PID 305) continues to appear in Activity Monitor.
I am no techie, and would appreciate quick help to resolve this issue.
Thanks!

I was just about to write the same problem, but I don't have VMware; my laptop is late 2008 was running Snow Leopard (uptodate version).
I've scientific softwares so probably would require a clean re-installation of ML. I MUST MENTION HERE that those software which were written for PPC will NOT work on ML. Just found out that one of my important softwares version won't work on ML; need $500 to upgrade that software .
Therefore, I'd also want to know how can I go back to SL.
I'll let you know how clean re-installation has worked.

Do you still have the Feedback (Test Pilot) extension installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) ?
If not then reinstall the extension.

Can you try syncing to google contacts again?
Do you mean that pix you took with the phone disappear after doing a sync?

TS3899 Saved messages disappear from mailboxes after 'update'.

Saved messages often disappear from mailboxes after an automatic 'update'. Why does that occur? If it's normal, how long are messages retained in a mailbox? Thanks

Hi Milli,
I think the problem is that Mail tries to download them in order & if it runs into one it can't it just stops, happens when a bad/malformed email is in the chain too.
I think this may have cleared your problem though...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...

Why has my computer slowed after updating with mavericks

i updated to mavericks .since i did this my computer has slowed and i am also getting problems with streaming can i revert back to mountain lion.

how much RAM do you have?
how full is your hard drive?
what apps are you trying to run when things are slow?
do you have any crapware installed, like
antivirus software
defragmenters
"cleaners"
"optimizers"
how long has it been since you updated? Spotlight may be updating, that can take a while, and things may be slow while it does.
Boot into your recovery partition (hold down ⌘R at restart until you see the Apple symbol), go to Disk Utility, and repair your hard drive. While you're there, repair permissions too. OSX Tips Using the Recovery HD
Try a safe boot (hold down shift and restart) : Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? . If this works, it means that the problem is with some third-party software you have installed.
Try a test user account: Isolating an issue by using another user account .
That is: if you want, we could try to fix what is wrong. Otherwise, you could certainly go back to ML if you want. How you would get there would depend on how your computer originally came, either with OS installer discs, or with the OS already installed. osx - Roll back from OS X Mavericks ( or any newer OS) to Mountain Lion - Ask Different

After updates my iMac OS X 10.6.8 won't read certain .mov files

After updates on my iMac OS X 10.6.8 .mov files shot with the JVC HD200 will no longer play! Everything was fine before the updates. I keep getting the error message: invalid public movie atom. I was told it may have been from the iTunes update so I deleted iTunes and both versions of quicktime that I have and reinstalled earlier versions. Still no luck:( Any suggestions??

Based on the behavior my theory is that one or more of the Quicktime codecs has been damaged. FCP7 installs a variety of codecs that don't come with every Mac which gives you additional format support. You should not need to purchase that component as it is part of the FCP7 package. That suggests to me that 1 or more of the FCP7 installed codecs is damaged.
At this point I would suggest 3 things:
1. Install the combo update as a I suggested above if you haven't already (If those don't work then reinstall the last update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1400)
2. If you have a complete backup of your system (like with Time Machine), restore the contents of /Library/Quicktime/ from the backup from before the update was installed, restart the computer and see if it works.
3. Post your issue in the FCP7 forum and ask how to completely remove and reinstall FCP7 and all it's components (last I checked it requires a complete Erase and Install but I'm not a FCP person so ask the experts first): https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io
Side note: If the files open in VLC and you don't want to do all the above work right now (up to you obviously), you should be able to save the files out in a readable format by going to File > Exporting / Streaming Wizard. Personally I'd try to get your system back the way it was by taking the above steps but you have to balance your immediate need vs. time spent to fix this long term.
Best of luck to you!

After update my imac to yosemite automatically power off ifself.pls help

hi friends , I updated my imac (24-inch,Early 2009) to yosemite and update was ok.after update i restart imac then it is booting and showing apple log and coming to password page then automatically power off ifself. if i start with safe mode it is working fine. can everyone help me.

Hi.
You are running into a problem that many users of the 24-inch, early 2009 iMac 9,1's have encountered (including me). The Sudden Shutdown Syndrome is the scourge of many iMacs and Mac Book Pros.
Unfortunately, I believe that the only solution is for Apple/nVidia to revisit their geForce Tesla drivers and figure out if the power management is correct.
In your case, I'd try this:
1) Boot up your computer in safe mode and log into your user account.
2) In the Finder menu, select Go > Go to Folder...
3) Type: " ~/Library/Caches" (without quotes) into the box and press return. You will be taken to the Caches folder.
4) Select all the files in the folder and move to the trash (do not trash the folder itself). At this point, just leave them in the trash...don't erase them.
5) Go back to the Finder menu, select Go > Go to Folder...
6) Type: "/Library/Caches" (without quotes) into the box and press return.
7) Do the same thing you did in 4) This time, though, you will be asked for an administrator's password.
8) Restart your computer in normal mode and attempt login.
9) If you can log to the desktop, you may delete your trash.
Hopefully this will get you into your account. If it doesn't, you may have to do a clean install of Yosemite, go back to Mavericks, or wait for an update.
Good luck!

After updating my iMac 27, the dock not work

alo staff.
after upgrading my iMac 27 (2009), and try to install the "absinthe" - and having to disable the security options of the gate-keeper. my dock crashed, hidden to touch the mouse, not being active this option and the desktop image appears all gray (only the bottom, the icons do not change).
I'm worried because it installed on my macbook pro is okay.

If the problem is in your device, we can't help with it, but it's in your computer. Open Finder, select Go with Option key and press Library. Then, go to Preferences and erase com.apple.dock.plist. Open Terminal and type killall Dock

After updating my iMac to 10.9.2 it has deleted my excel and word, plus I can no longer connect my Epson printer, I can't even reload it with the disc, how can I fix this?

We updated our computer a while back to 10.9.2, but once it was complete we no longer use excel or word as the files were missing for them, plus our epson printer wouldn't work, it said something like the files for this printer could not be found, we tried to reload the printer using the disc as the printer was less than a year old but the computer would not load it probably, I called epson and they replied that there was a problem with the update and has done something to the mac driver, has anyone else had a problem with this update? and can it be sorted

Don't use the CD--it is almost always out of date. Just add the printer using Print & Scan System Prefs and it should find the correct drivers.
If not, go to the Epson website and download the current ones.
If you need the bundled software that comes on the CD, download it from Epson.
What version of Office was it? 2004 won't run on any OS after 10.6. Office 2008 and 2011 will run.
However, it should not have deleted any of your Documents.
If it was Office 2008 or 2011, try reinstalling it. I've found that Microsoft products have a hard time with change. It's like when you remove the pagoda from a goldfish bowl. To the goldfish, the world around them has changed and they freak out. Sometimes you can calm down the Microsoft products by reinstalling them.

Folders disappear on ipad after update.

This has happened to me several times. I update the software. Itunes then loses the locaion of the library (everything is blank). I use add folder to restore library. I connect Ipad and sync is faded out. I click sync and asks to sync with library. (Auto sync is off). All but one folder disappear and my apps extend beyond 11 pages (I have over 400 apps). Is there a way to save the folders so I dont have to reorganize them after an update? Working on Windows 7.
iPad2, 32G wi-fi; iPa2 16G wi-fi

There have been many, many discussions about this issue and I have not seen one solid definitive answer to solve it. I read where this one user swears this works. I copied and pasted his post and I keep it for just such occasions as this. His words are italicized. If it works, great, if not, remember I am only try to help ....
There is a secret as to why you are losing your folder arrangements.
They can automatically unpack on a sync.
We should all know there are screens off to the right of the valid eleven home pages. If your last page is full of icons and you inadvertently add another something is shoved off to the right. If you move home screens around using iTunes this also happens.
If any icon filled with apps falls off to the right it will unpack and make a mess. If you move a home page filled with folders which are filled with icons around you can lose them all as they will unpack when you sync to iTunes.
The best choice is to take the right most page and MAKE SURE NO FOLDERS ARE EVER IN THE RIGHT MOST PAGE. That gives you safety room frominadvertently scooting one or more folders into higher number screens. I placea few standard apps in the right most page to hold it in place.
CREATING FOLDERS
Second you are safer building your folders on the device itself.To do this I move everything off the bottom bar and use it as a place holder(bus) to shuttle apps around as I figure out what group they should be added to. I have over 800 apps in 22 GB on the iPad now. Things are well organized and nice looking when scanning the home pages.
When setting it up I just added all the apps at once. Then as I made room on the home screens I paused made sure my 'bus' was empty, then shutdown the iPad to power off and back on again. This cleans up memory and on reboot the iPad will add as many of the hidden apps to the space on your eleven home pages. There after it became a session of rinse and repeat until all the apps I wanted where filed away and arranged.
Use meaningful folder names.
Apps from ****
There are some real junk apps that some how I managed to grab in the past. Others are surpassed by obviously more powerful and functional apps that have recently appeared so there is no sense in keeping them. If you deletet hem off the iPad they will reappear on the next sync unless you delete them from iTunes.
How do you remember to delete them from iTunes too? When I get to the delete confirmation screen I take a screenshot which is stored in my Photos roll. Then I browse that roll while before the computer and find each app that needs to be permanently deleted. After deleting it from the PC I then delete the reminder picture.
Back to my own thoughts ... this does make some sense to me.

Playlists disappeared from iTunes after update. Can I get them back?

All my playlists disappered from iTunes. I'm running Windows7 Pro. I must have lost the playlists after an update. I haven't listen to iTunes for a couple months, mostly Pandora, but yesterday I went back and all my playlists were missing. --- I do remember an update some time back.
I tried to find an answer by Googleing my problem but nothing worked or was applicable. I found solutions that were older and that had tips like "Go under File in the menu bar and import...".
For some reason I neither have File nor a menu bar , nor an import option. I can't even find out what version I have - but you can assume it is the latest because I always click OK when Apple throws an update at me.
Do I have to start over or can I get my playlists back? ---- I have used an assortment of media players in the past. Mostly some smaller but brilliant ones and something like this never happened. I'm not sure how I feel about this happing with Apple's iTunes. Usually I would have thrown it out but I need iTunes for my iPod and iPad and I'm about to purchase an iPhone. So I can't let this one go.
If I can restore it - or even if not - , I will make sure I do a back-up for my playlists. I have never done a back-up for PLAYLISTs in the last 15 years (!?). But from what I read some people recommended it for iTunes. I would like to add this question to my original problem: how do I make a backup of my playlists? Do you do it too? Is it REALLY necessary - or can I plow on more or less safely for the next 15 years?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.
