My mouse seems to disappear randomly. This is super annoying. Is this a problem for others as well? I'm ready to jump ship. This is unacceptable.

When I am browsing the internet or working in word, the mouse arrow simply disapears and I cannot find for without moving it chaotically around the screen. Help! This is unaceptable.

This is the itunes forum.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.

    My wireless mouse cursor occasionally disappears - can this be prevented?

    Where do you use it.   On a desk, a mousepad?   Is the mouse pad a solid dark colour?   If you have some plain black cloth, try it on that.

  • Some messages are disappearing from this forum

    Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
    some messages seems to disappear from this forum, I've just read 2 answers to a message I've posted these days and they disappeared when I answered. What's happening?
    If I'm doing something wrong, I want to be advised of this. Even my personal e-mail can be used for explanations - but I need to know what's the problem.

    Open Mail.
    From the Mail menu, select Preferences. Select the Accounts icon and click on your email account under the Description heading.  The Account Information appears.
    Click on the Advanced tab.
    Make sure that Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: is not checked. Click on the field below and select after one day, or after one week, etc.
    Close the Accounts box to return to the email program.

    I have the same problem. Thankfully one which was missing came back. I printed it out and made a PDF of it since it was an important one I'd been looking for.
    I have three icloud email accounts which folders for each one. Now they mostly come up in my inbox instead of the correct folder and they won't move to the correct one.
    Come on Apple, fix this.

  • The mouse pointer seems to change randomly from the usual pointer to the I-beam pointer, finger pointer, column resize pointer, arrow up pointer, etc. without any reference to function.

    I actually don't care other than the fact that it isn't the way it should operate and everything else seems to behave. However, the I-beam pointer is hard to see and can disappear. It seems to happen mostly in Safari and then carry over to other applications. Anyone else see this happen?

    The program you gave me was great, so simple, yet so effective....yet I still have a problem.  The problem is that my interface has a giant TAB inside with lots controls.  So I need it to be an arrow when it is in the tab but not on the other controls.   I tried manipulating you program and used an if condition inside the event case that if the control reference of the event case is the same as the control reference of the tab then remain an arrow.  That works for other controls outside the tab and and the tab itself but it doesn't work with controls inside the tab...... I have attached your vi, just changed a little to see what i am saying.  I am pretty sure there must be a way around it so i am trying it out now, but if you know something already that might help, that'll be great

  • Full screen disappearing – randomly

    Noticed this frustrating issue when in full screen mode of some software – iPhoto and Quicktime mainly, but could be in others, hence this place for posting.
    When in full screen mode, the screen randomly disappears, or slides off screen to right. As though it's in some kind of screensaver mode. Seems to be ok whe I'm moving mouse around or clicking something, but if I leave it alone, it just disappears. Immensely frustrating when watching movies or playback or presenations in Quicktime. Anyone else experienced this? Could be an energy saving option or something? Any clues?   

    Hey dude,
    I found your post while having the same problem. Leave it out of full screen for a bit and watch your desktop icons. Do they flash every once in a while (1-2 minutes)? If so, try this...
    Open up your Applications folder and head to Utilities.
    Open Console & watch the system log scroll.
    When the icons flash again, the system log will record a Finder crash (Timestamp ReportCrash:)
    Underneath that will likely be the program causing the problem (for me it was Google Drive)
    Uninstall offender.
    That fixed it for me; hope it helps you.

  • Fireworks CS5 unusable - mouse pointer keeps disappearing

    Hi There,
    I'm having an extremely frustrating time trying to use Fireworks CS5 as the mouse pointer keeps disappearing at random. Switching to another app and back to Fireworks doesn't fix things - restarting Fireworks or force quitting every 5 - 10 mins seems to be the only way to fix it.
    Is anyone else experiencing this - or does anyone know how to fix it?
    - MAC OS 10.5.8
    - Fireworks CS5 11.0.0.484 (fresh Install this morning)
    - Macbook Pro 17"
    - 8GB Ram
    Any help or suggestions would be welcome.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Thanks Linda but I'm not using a wireless mouse - or a USB hub. The issue occurs if the mouse is plugged into the apple keyboard or directly into the Macbook Pro.
    BTW, if I switch to other open apps or to the Finder the mouse appears - but disappears when switching back to Fireworks.
    This is a really frustrating issue as I can't use CS5 - any other ideas?
    Cheers

  • MBA lion Mail issue: window disappears randomly

    hello:
    Having some MBA 13' mail issues:
    1) mail window will disappear (only using cmd+0 shortcut will bring it back - or going to window>message viewer) randomly without any reason
    2) starting up a new email or new note then closing this note or email will close the entire message viewer window...why?
    3) emails deleted within the 'inbox' section will not delete in the Gmail section (setup as IMAP, with Gmail defaults)
    I am a little concerned with 1 & 2 becuase these are huge user experience issues, it is the most frustrating thing to have to continually use the short cut to open up a window which should not have disappeared in the first place!!
    any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Hi Fred
    I've got the same issue. It seems to happen randomly but so annoying when it does. Upgrading to Mountain Lion hasn't helped and I've changed my keyboard and reset all the short-cuts to the default settings and still it happens in Mail and Microsoft Outlook for Mac when I'm typing a mail.
    Did you find a solution?

  • Yellow "minimize" button disappears. randomly. all apps

    I've had this problem for as long as I can remember.
    Randomly, the yellow minimize button (between the red and green buttons) on the
    top bar of my apps gets grayed out, and no longer works. There's no
    pattern to it - it's pretty random, and often happens to
    several apps. Have not found a way to get it back, aside from
    exiting and restarting the effected app(s).
    When the app starts, all 3 buttons are present and working. At some
    point, yellow fades to gray, and it's gone.
    Sounds like an Aqua bug, but a very long-standing bug.
    Very annoying...
    Thanks,
    /jim

    I have had this problem forever as well; all with Leopard. I've never installed WindowShade, but I do run Parallels 3.0 from time to time. I've never correlated this goofy and very annoying behavior with Parallels... The problem seems to creep in and out every day, usually affecting iCal, Mail and Firefox more than anything else (all at different times). I have correlated this with Spaces; the buttons typically come and go with more movement between spaces. Interestingly, if a yellow button disappears, I really don't HAVE to quit it to get the button back; just wait and sometime later after unknown operations it will be back. It always comes back if I quit the app and relaunch, but it will disappear again after a while.

  • Disappearing Random Songs

    I have had this problem for months and it's driving me insane. Tracks randomly disappear from my iTunes library. Tracks I ripped from CD. Tracks I BOUGHT. Totally random tracks are just gone. They aren't in the Recycle Bin. THEY'RE ERASED COMPLETELY FROM THE HARD DRIVE. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Please?

    You mean that they're still listed, look ok until you attempt to play them, and then an exclamation mark appears next to them, and itunes tells you that it can no longer find the file?
    I have exactly the same problem, and have no idea why. It started happening a couple of months ago and is incredibly frustrating.
    The only possibility that I can think of is that I am running very low on hard disc space, but it seems a bit out of order if tracks should just disappear without a mention because of that.
    If there are any other suggestions as to why this is happening, and more importantly how to stop it, then I would love to hear them.

  • Mouse Clicks stop working randomly

    So far I have noticed several times on my Quad Core 27 inch imac that the mouse clicks stop working.  This is with two different mice, plugged in together, so I know it's not mouse or driver related.  It happens to both of them whenever it does happen.
    The only correlation I can make is that it usually happens when I am on a website.  I might even have noticed a correlation with "flash based" modules and components on websites, but this could be speculation at this point.
    Apple, I love you, but having to hard restart my $2000 computer because the mouse is inoperable is unacceptable.  Figure this out.  There is no excuse for this.  PC's don't do this.  I've never had a computer do this in my entire life and words cannot describe how frustrating it is, especially when you are in the middle of trying to get some work done...
    -Matt

    Try hitting the escape key on the keyboard (ESC). I've noticed that some property sheets, dialogs, and context menus can get 'lost' if you change focus to another program intentionally or accidentally, or if an application 'steals focus' (fairly rare in OS X). You may have to Command + Tab between applications to find where things are 'hung up'. Flash seems especially bad about hanging after a right click tries to call up a context menu.

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • TS5174 We have iPhotos in a shared folder. When my partner tries to view some photos(not all) they flash open, then disappear. This doesn't happen when I log in and open them. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

    We have iPhotos in a shared folder so both my pertner and I can access the pictures.
    Recently, when my partner tries to open some of the more recent pictures, they open briefly, then disappear. This doesn't happen with all of them, and there doesn't seem to be any link between those that do, and those that don't.
    When I try to open them, they open with no problem, and remain open until I close them.
    Has anyone any solutions, please?
    Thanks.

    A shared folder is not sufficient to share an iPhoto library. When you open the library from your account, the ownership and permissions of library items changes.
    The safest way to share a library is to put it onto a separate disk or disk partition with the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag set. See this document on how to achieve this:
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198

  • Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear.  Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not).  But they no longer appear as a recent import.  Lots more happens

    Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear.  Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not).  But they no longer appear as a recent import.  Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues.  I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
    Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
