Where did my cursor go when I was surfing the web?

My cursor disappeared when I was surfing two different sites today. My only solution was to power off and reboot. [My touchpad is not turned off.] Is this a problem that has an easier solution or is this a technical problem that needs fixing by HP/Compaq? The laptop is a Compaq Presarion CQ56 and I have had it for a week.

  • HT201232 My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and when I'm surfing the web, it tells me I need to update my browser however when I check for updates, nothing comes up. What do I need to do to get Mac OS X Lion v10.7?

    My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and when I'm surfing the web, it tells me I need to update my browser however when I check for updates, nothing comes up. What do I need to do to get Mac OS X Lion v10.7?

    Software update will only bring you up to the current level of the system you are using - you are at the maximum for Snow Leopard. To get Lion or higher you will have to go to the Mac App Store in Applications and purchase it there (Yosemite is free). You will need to check that your Mac meets the requirements and you should particularly note that PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run in Lion or above.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store. (Mavericks is no longer available.)
    If the problem is only with Safari and you are otherwise happy with Snow Leopard you could switch to FireFox (free) - the latest version of that will run in Snow Leopard.

  • When I am surfing the web I have to click on the X to go back several times, then I get a circle and it takes several seconds to go back, Any answers?

    When I am surfing the web and wish to go back to the previous site I click on the X. That used to take me back but recently it does not. If I click on it 3, 4 or 5 times the little blue cicle appears from about ten seconds and then it does go back.

    Examples of videos that won't play:  Facebook, yahoo, news.  Just need help to fix.  Please help.

  • I was surfing the web and got tricked into downloading MacProtector.  It says my system is infected!!  Of course they want almost $80 to register the copy that is on my laptop.  Is this a good product??  Should I get something else, like Norton antivirus?

    I was surfing the web and got tricked into downloading MacProtector.  It says my system is infected!  Of course they want almost $80 to register the program so I can then use it to clean up my machine.  Is this a good program??  Should I get something like Norton antivirus instead??

    Yes, turning off Javascript works, but turning it on and off is a pain if one has to make a trip to the preferences.
    Why many recommend the NoScript Add-on as one can drag a "allow" button to Firefox's toolbar and turn on scripts on a site per site, case per case basis.
    NoScript also protects against other web nasties, like Clear click jacking and zillions of other web based trickery.
    http://noscript.net/changelog
    Apple Support Forums works fine without Javascript running, I do it all the time, it also supports HTTPS encrpytion too.
    It might be that I'm not seeing a lot with Javascript and other things turned off, but the post box functions etc. work just fine.
    Maybe Apple is heading towards no scripts running on all their products?
    First Flash gets the axe, then Java is coming next and perhaps finally Javascript? hmmmm?
    Smart move possibly.
    Nope it's the same with it on or off.

  • Where did Google Earth go when I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox?

    I clicked the popup that upgraded to the latest version of Firefox - and clicked to give it permission to make changes to my computer - and my Google Earth was no longer there. I restored my computer to before I had made the Firefox changes and my Google Earth was there but I got a blank page when I tried to open Firefox. Then I re-downloaded Firefox and Google Earth is gone. I would like to have both. If I have to do without one I would give up Firefox and use Internet Explorer until the problem gets fixed.

    When I drag messages from the Inbox to another folder for archiving, they don't move. This problem has only arisen since I updated to the latest version of Thunderbird.

    I doubt it is a Norton Security problem. Maybe. I solved it by deleting the account and re-installing it.

  • My Macbook Pro 15 inch gets super hot when surfing the web... What is wrong?

    My Macbook Pro that I got in April this year gets superhot when I'm surfing the web, especially when I'm using Safari. Also when I'm using photoshop, which I can partly understand since it's a heavy program, but it gets so hot that it burns my hand if I touch the underneath, and that can't be right, can it? This is despite having it on a flat surface.
    Also, I do not know much about RAM and stuff, but when I'm just surfing the web on Safari it uses 1 GB of the RAM memory, and I've tried with Firefox and it uses 500 mb. I don't even think photoshop uses that much when I'm editing big files. What is normal, and can that have something with my computer getting as hot as it gets? It also gets really, really loud.

    Install istat menus:

  • I have macbook pro   i got it from craiglist, when i was updating the oprating sestem its asking me for sestem unlocking pin? where can i get it from?

    i have macbook pro   i got it from craiglist, when i was updating the oprating sestem its asking me for sestem unlocking pin? where can i get it from?

    I would recommend wiping the system and reinstalling the OS for any used system. OS X does not have any "unlocking pin" of sorts so this may be from some third-party software on the system. The system does have a "firmware password" option that can be set to prevent booting to alternative boot environments (ie, external hard drives, safe mode, etc), but this will not prevent system updating.

  • Where did my files go when I installed Creative Cloud

    Where did my files go when I downloaded Creative Cloud.

    again, the cc app doesn't move/remove/delete/uninstall any files on your desktop, or elsewhere.
    in addition, your desktop folder may have been a shortcut to a folder, or the files in your desktop folder may have been shortcuts to your files.  so, search your computer (using your file search) for your missing files.  also, check your trash for your missing files.

  • Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.

  • I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.
