NEW, 1ST TIME POST
I'd like to see some real effort on the part of Apple to 1) address the issue and 2) post a fix.
I've been using the same equipment for several years (27" iMac and a Wacom Intous4). Everything was lovely until 'upgrading' to the latest OS… The cursor dissappears at will. I can NOT predict the event, only that I have only found it occurring in Photoshop.
Contacted Wacom. No help there.
I got VERY tired of having to close PS to get the cursor back. My tablet is hard-wired and my keyboard is an Apple wireless. Of course, w/o a cursor, how are you going to click on anything… Keyboard worked, but not the Wacom. Finally got out my wireless [Apple] mouse, fired it up, and used it as a 'backup' (for crashing my way out of PS). The mouse never interferred with operation. THOUGHT it was a Wacom problem, because I've yet to create the event with a normal mouse. I admit I rarely, RARELY use a mouse. Seems that I can't draw with a rock…
Aggravated by the lack of interest across the board, I discovered quite by accident one day a work-around: flip to a different desktop and then right back. Voila. Cursor is back. I've got 4 desktops available, so it is a quick CTL + arrow. My work-around works for me WITHOUT FAIL. Pay attention Apple/Adobe/Wacom. Apparently something here is refreshing whatever and solving the problem. Until the next time, of course.
Apple - Adobe - Wacom, please don't think we're 'satisfied' and we'll fix it in the NEXT mulit-thousand dollar computer/OS/tablet purchase. I love the products, but with this latest OS, you have a perfect storm of bugs (don't ask me about dropping the Internet DAILEY, s-l-o-w to non-existent blutooth connectivity, new 3D weird actions or [insert drumroll] 'THE CLOUD').
Call any of those listed and get ready for a raft of denial and finger-pointing. I admit, you quickly find yourself somewhere like the Phillipines or India, trying to talk to someone who can't converse with you in you own language, but that is NOT the fault of us, the end-users.
Finally: 'Caps lock'? Please. Give the guy SOME credit. Maybe the light was burnt out on the keyboard?
C'mon. Get with it guys!! Denial mixed with 'passing the buck' is not an answer. And you want MORE MONEY out of me?????
I agree with lkooz, break out the Beseler — I'll get the trays ready…
