Mouse cursor disappears.

I have started a thread at:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5470315

for people for discussion in Mavericks on the mouse problems in Lion and Mountain Lion. I suggest we post Meverick problems or cures there.

I agree. However, I think we should also post here if Mavericks has indeed helped or not helped because there are so many people who have replied to this thread and will probably receive an email saying there's been another post. It would be a fast way to notify them

That's bad news.

Here is the Mavericks address for Mouse and Cursor problems:

Install Mavericks and we can finally close this awful thread. Mavericks fixed the disappearing cursor that I have suffered with immeasurabely, for over a year now! I suspect it is finally over for everyone who can install Mavericks.

Actually, I already noticed it in Mavericks 😟

The Bluetooth thread is reporting Magic Mouse problems with Mavericks:

Third party software conflict.

I've noticed general overall performance improvements and less frequent glitches with Mavericks. I haven't encountered the disappearing mouse problem again so far either. I use multiple displays and Spaces has been pretty much rewritten for multiple displays in Mavericks. A second display now has it's own Space which makes things so much more convenient. The whole reason I bring that up is that I alwasy suspected my use of multiple displays as being one of the possible causes for the disappearing cursor.

It's been happening to me since I got my Mac Pro about 18 months ago. Luckily I don't use it much, so I just swept this problem under the carpet.

But now it is annoying me.

I first noticed it while using Logic, but it doesn't really matter what application I was using at the time. However, my cursor only disappears when the machine goes into sleep mode, and I awake it. Sometime I will get the cursor back, sometimes it won't. It is completely random.

When it is gone, the only way it returns is to restart the machine each time.

Here on my machine it seems to be gone so far...

I upgraded to Mavericks the first day available and did not recognise any mouse cursor disappearings any more.

(I did realise problems before in 10.8-10.8.5 and Photoshop CC 14 to 14.1.2 only - no other software involved)

I did use a single monitor setup...

I waited two weeks before post something, now I can say that the problem after upgrading to mavericks was solved.

I painted and tested with big large brushes, and go over the interface of photoshop many times and the cursor didn't dissapears!

🙂

I'm very happy about this, finally my workflow returned to be efficient!

As always I use two monitors configuration.

thank you.

Having reverted to M. Lion, and after the problem of Firewire external drives not sleeping has been fixed, (whenever that might be) I will do another installation of Mavericks. But from what I saw of it during three days of usage, I didn't see much different from M. Lion that tempted me. Perhaps I will stick with M. Lion.
