Strange block of text around cursor preventing me to use my Mac Pro
This happened last week on my Mac Pro. I read a couple of things about it, but no real solutions.
I think it's some kind of hardware problem, because I removed all of the hard drives and put in another hard drive with a different OS and have the same problem.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks!
Mac Pro, OS X 10.11
Try (Apple menu) > System Preferences... > Accessibility > Vision > Zoom
De-select those options.
Are you able to log in under "Safe Mode" and use your Mac that way?
Very strange. I put all of the hard drives back in, started it in safe mode and the problem was gone. Restarted it and everything back to normal.
👍
Sometimes, merely restarting a Mac in "Safe Mode" followed by restarting normally fixes problems that would otherwise be too time-consuming or tedious to resolve. The reasons involve certain specific tasks Safe Mode invokes. Apple used to explain them in that Support document, but they don't any more.
A frozen cursor is beginning to resemble a hardware fault. Does it occur in "Safe Mode"?
I can't get into the Apple menu.
It worked fine for 5 minutes and now it started again. It freezes my cursor with that strange transparent block of text. I have to manually shut it down
