My cursor keeps blinking every 30 secs or so even when no app is being used. How can I stop this?

Hi there!
I hope you can help me with this. Just today, my cursor keeps on blinking (or loading?) every 30 seconds or so for no reason at all. At first I thought it was the auto-save for my MS Word, but even after I closed it, it's still blinking even when I'm not
using any apps. Tried killing spooler in task manager as I saw in other forums but it's still blinking. 
Would very much appreciate your help.
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite L40D-A, Windows 8. 
Thanks in advance!

Hey Readie85,
Thanks for the question. This alert usually appears if there is debris in your dock connector. Check to make sure it is free of any debris:
“This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone."
"This accessory is not supported by this device."
If either of these alerts appear and nothing is connected to the dock connector, make sure that the dock connector is free of debris.

    Call Apple Care.   You are still under warranty.  You also have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your iPod with no questions asked. 
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. 

  • Deleted voicemails keep being restored, how can I stop this

    I deleted my voicemails from my iphone 4. A few days later I discover all of the deleted voicemails have been restored. How can I stop this?
    Rolland

    I have had the same problem for months. Neither ATT nor Apple has a solution. I am forced to clear the deleted messages to keep them from restoring themselves to the active Voicemail list. The problem began with IOS 4.1 and has continued through two IOS updates. I just live with it although I am tempted to switch to the Verizon iPhone since ATT is baffled by a glitch that is clearly on their side. (Replacement iPhones and even an added phone number have not helped. It is something in our ATT profile.
    Sorry I could not offer more help, but at least you now know you are not alone.

  • My iPhone 4s keeps undeleting emails that I have deleted and delivering them as new mail. How can I stop this?

    My iPhone 4s keeps undeleting emails that I have already read and sent to the trash. I even empty the trash and it will redeliver the emails as new emails a few mi utes later. How do I stop this?  Thanks!

    Are you syncing your phone with iTunes and then with iCloud? This can cause duplicates. Sync with one or the other, but not both.

  • Every time I update firefox for Win7, the taskbar icon disappears. How can I stop this from happening?

    The question pretty much says it all. For the record, no desktop icon is installed either.

    Most running programs have an icon on the taskbar, and Firefox is no exception. So in order to pin Firefox to the taskbar manually, first you have to launch Firefox from the Start Menu.
    You can also open Windows Explorer and navigate to the installation folder, then right-click ''firefox.exe'' and choose "Pin to taskbar".
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    I don't know why you lose your pinned icon when updating. But I do know that Firefox pins itself to the taskbar when installing, provided you've accepted to make it your default browser. If you get rid of the automatically created shortcut and create one manually, I'm hoping that one won't be affected.

  • I keep getting "Firefox.exe has encountered a problem and will have to close" messages when I'm on websites. How can I stop this happening?

    Whenthis message comes up you are taken out of the website and, if you've been, say arranging a booking, all the information you've put in disappears. What can I do?

    Mike,
    Thank you for taking the time to look at my app. This is my last major stumbling block that I have to resolve for this and other forms in the app.
    Actually, I did use the Form Wizard for Auto DML to originally create the form. It was great. It created most of the Buttons, Items and Validations automatically (basically most of the page). I just needed to create some Processes and Computations. Two of which were the Processes to update the 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields and 'update_dt' and 'updated_by' fields. The Create process updates the fields just fine.
    However, my problem seems to be that the Hidden 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields aren't picking up the values from a record that is being editted. Then when I attempt to save the record those fields are NULL, causing the DB NOT NULL constraint to throw an exception for those fields. In the back of my mind I seem to remember seeing some post stating something to the effect that the information in fields with a Source Type of Database Column is just displayed and does not affect Session State items.
    Even with that, I am still wondering just why the 'created_by' Page Item shows the value that is in the DB record being updated, but the 'create_dt" does not (as can be seen in my first posting). It is the 'create_dt' Page Item (:P205_CREATE_DT) not having the DB records 'create_dt' info in it that appears to be the problem.
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • Hi when i click on mozilla firefox it keeps coming up saying restore session why is this every time i go on firefox how can i stop this and delete it all together

    When you quit firefox with tabs and windows open it "remembers".  When you start Firefox it tries to restore the tabs and windows you had open.
    You may also want to check the preferences for Firefox:

  • Hi I've just download os x mavericks 10.9 on my macbook pro the trouble is when i am on the internet my screen goes of it keeps saying put in your password how can i stop this every time the screen goes to sleep

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

  • Help! My Mouse pad is not working properly. The arrow cannot be controlled, it just keeps jumping all over the page. How can I stop this?

    Help! My Mouse pad is not working properly. The arrow cannot be controlled, it just keeps jumping all over the page. How can I stop this?

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
    2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
    3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
    4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
    5. Reset the System Management Controller.
    6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
    8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to  behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
    9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

  • Every single website, or link within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu. How can I stop this? This just started happening.

    Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
    I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
    How can I stop this? This just started happening.
    I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.
    Firefox 3.0.17

    A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.
