Jan 5, 2015 8:33 PM in response to Brentbinby Swanville,★HelpfulYup. Happens on both a 15" MBP Retina and my Mac Pro tower. So irritating that Apple won't fix.

Re: Mouse cursor disappears.in response to SteveKirI had this problem return, but it went away again when I went to System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom and unchecked both "Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom" and "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom". Comes right back if I check either one.

Apr 11, 2015 1:07 PM in response to IluvMyiphoneby shtzulu95,If I don't have a Cursor it's impossible to get to System Preferences or anywhere else to do anything. I need a Cursor. I cannot control anything on my MBPro.

Apr 13, 2015 9:51 AM in response to Brentbinby halh,★HelpfulI have the same issue just after starting moving between 2 LG1952TX displays. It seems to happen if I have selected the restore window option. When I move from MON-1 to MON-2 the cursor disappears when I pass the edge, but all I've had to do was click the trackpad and the cursor reappears and remains visible.
I'll try Control-Tab solution if this recurs. In the meantime I've set the Accessibilty option suggested by IluvMyiphone to see what happens.
Mac mini
OS X 10.10.3

Cheers

Apr 23, 2015 11:17 PM in response to IluvMyiphoneby StreamUK,Thanks, i disabled the zoom and i now have my mouse back when in itunes full screen mode. Apple needs to add that to a bug list somewhere.

May 6, 2015 6:28 PM in response to StreamUKby John Nightingale,Sorry, Apple, but none of the above fixes seem to work on my Mini using 10.10 3. The problem first appeared in 10.10.2. I get my cursor back for about 30 seconds after moving to another application. Only a single screen in use, though there is a TV set connected via HDMI, though it is switched off at the wall most of the time. Apple seems unwilling to confront this little glitch. It certainly makes using the machine tedious having to switch apps every 30 seconds while using the cursor to navigate any app.
I'm lucky I ve some alternatives such as this iPad.

Jul 8, 2015 3:08 PM in response to IluvMyiphoneby PopMax,Yes I have this problem but I have stumbled on a solution that gets the cursor back fast. Set up a hot corner to put the display to sleep. When the cursor disappears just wipe to the corner, the screen goes black. Move the mouse and when the screen comes back on, it includes the mouse cursor.

Nov 10, 2015 3:23 AM in response to Brentbinby andwhale,Sometimes, the issue can be reproduced by quickly switching between apps using CMD+Tab so that the popup with apps' thumbnails won't even appear. Both Yosemite and El Capitan.

Dec 22, 2015 3:17 AM in response to Brentbinby SMTS,By far the easiest way to get the cursor back, in my experience, is to simply swipe the trackpad as if you were moving to the top of the screen and then click (i.e. clicking off the top of the screen anywhere).
In brings the cursor back immediately.

Mar 30, 2016 7:14 AM in response to IluvMyiphoneby Red and Blue,I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5 with the zoom keyboard shortcut, control and two finger swipe up or down, and the cursor disappears periodically. Sometimes if I swipe up-and-down to the top and bottom quickly repeatedly it will come back, but sometimes not. I just tried the suggestion above of swiping to the top and clicking, but that didn't work. Since it seems to be connected to the zoom function, I tried pressing "control" and zooming in with the two finger swipe, and that brought to cursor back immediately.
