Issues with Mountain Lion on MacBook Pro with Retina Display

I, too, am having disappearing cursor issues. I don't wish to downgrade, but it would be nice if this was patched in the next update. If you click the menu bar, the cursor usually comes back, but it's pretty annoying inside of Photoshop.

If you spend a lot of time needing the mouse, I would suggest waiting on Mountain Lion for a little while longer.

I'm getting the same disappearing cursor regardles of using tablet or mouse. Definitely wait if you use photoshop often. Super aggravating and time wasting issue.

The disappearing cursor in Photoshop is killing me!!!

I'm not having any 'disappearing cursor' issues in Photoshop CS6. What version of Photoshop are you using? Not having any Mountain Lion problems at all, as a matter of fact, and I've been using the developer GM (same build as the retail version) since July 10.

I'm on CS 5.

Not 5.5, but 5? That's an upgrade that I missed - went to CS6 from CS5.5. Don't have 5.5 still available to test, only CS6. No issues there.

Maybe it's time to upgrade? Maybe not - found this which says that there are no known issues with CS5, 5.5 or 6. Hmm...

I'm having a similar issue with Macbook Pro since updating last week. In particular GMail and its text boxes causing sections of my screen in the Safari browser to be incorrectly refreshing. Also the cursor speed is much slower to react in text boxes. As I type in this page I'm seeing a very slow refresh of the character and sometimes they are not showing at all for half a second, especially when you delete characters.

I'm having the same problem, basically with SAFARI + GMAIL : when I try to write a new mail, the upper left part of the screen disappears in a square pattern. If I slide the cursor over, it appears again. Usually, this does not happen when I'm using Chrome, so I am beginning to think that the problem is with Safari + Mountain Lion.

I have done a full system reset to no avail.

If anyone has an idea about a solution (yes, I know, use CHROME...) please post a comment.

I am having the same problem with Safari and Gmail as Macbera describes.

Running Safari 6.01, OS 10.8.2 on a MacBook Pro Retina. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Went to the Boca Raton (FL) Apple store more than 3 weeks ago, they just told me that it was a firmware problem and that I should be expecting the firmware upgrade anytime.

This hasn't happened and is very disappointing.

For the time being, I just don't use Safari. Chrome works nicely.

Thank you. I'm hoping for the firmware update, too!

+1 new rMBP acting up in Safari + Gmail.

Bunch of weird graphics issues happening that I never expereienced on 10.8 and a regular MBP. Almost making me wish I upgraded to a newer MBP instead. 8 days to go in the 14 day return window.

I am having the same issue on my MacBook Pro 15" w/ Retina Display. I am running OS X 10.8.2 and the cursor disappears a lot - its very frustrating. I have Adobe CS5 installed with all patches and I use Chrome on a regular basis, however the cursor disappears even if I am not using those apps.

I have about had it with this MBP Retina and Mountain Lion - I'm beginging to think MS had something to do with this release! 😉 Apple needs to bring back Quality Control.

I have been having sporadic, short, and annoying issues with the cursor disappearing on my MBP w/ Retina Display (Sept. '12) running 10.8.2. I haven't determined which applications cause this more than others, or in what combination of open applications this occurs. With this many complaints, get on it, Apple!
