Hello, iOS is for phones MacOS is what 10.13.6 is.:)


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...

Hi there -- thank you for the advice. My husband found a quick temporary fix was F3 for the moment. This is weird. The installation rebooted my computer, you figured it's all updated correctly. But it wasn't, the cursor was disappearing. I'm notorious for leaving my laptop on and not shutting down. I decided to shutdown. When I went back on, the cursor was corrected. I haven't had a problem since the initial install.


Thank you for your advice. I didn't know safe mode would clear problems as well. I'll do that in way to repair anything.


Have a good day... thank you so much... Be Safe!
