Mouse or Cursor Problems

Mavericks update and using Illustrator CS5 (vers. 15.1.0) - still have the disappearing mouse problem. A little frustrating that neither Apple nor Adobe will address this issue.

I have used Photoshop my entire computive life (coming on 20 years) and I've never had the disappearing cursor problem until sometime--not immediately, oddly--after upgrading to Mountain Lion. Now it happens with alamring frequency; and only in Photoshop (CS5), nothing else. I don't notice aything in particular, tool-wise, that instigates it, tho it certainly happens repeatedly with the dodge/burn tool. I just reinstalled PS yesterday and for a while it stopped doing it, but soon thereafter it recommenced its dirty tricks. It's pretty unacceptable, really. Easily triples the time it takes to do some jobs.

I havent used Photoshop yet but I have seen the problem when using Safari in Mavericks. Bummer.

My imac and I suffered for over a year (running Photoshop CS5) with a frequently dissapearing cursor, but the installation of Mavericks totally fixed it! Problem solved. Finally! Apple sure was uncharacteristically slow with fixing a major, major problem!!!!!

No such luck for me. Running Mavericks on newer airbook with Illustrator CS5.1. The only way I can really see my cursor is to tilt the screen far back -using at a normal angle and I can barely see it. I actually contact Adobe yesterday and was told to try using a wired mouse. The CS rep actually went so far as to say that I should not use a wireless mouse with Illustrator.

Yeah. No. That didn't work for me. But I'm glad for that. I like my wireless too much.

I am seeing the disappearing (very light) cursor with Illustrator CS 5 and Mavericks but I am only seeing it on my 2013 MacBook Air. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro I haven't checked for this on but it did not occur under Mountain Lion on that machine. My 2008 Mac Pro with a Radeon 5770 does not exhibit the problem with Mavericks.

Can anyone confirm that the disappearing cursor is resolved or still present with Mavericks? I'm specifically concerned with the cursor disappearing completely when moving from one monitor to the other. I have had no other issues with a light cursor, etc.

Hate to say it, but this is happening to me in Mavericks. I have a Macbook Air connected to an external 24" NEC monitor. It seems to happen more in certain applications (Acrobat Pro 9) than others.

I will probably have to go back to my corded Logitech mouse. Sigh. I had really gotten used to the lack of clutter.

Im having the problem in Mavericks too. Plus other little niggly things from previous OS Xs.

switters, are you saying you dont have the problem if you use your mouse?

Personally, I only have a wacom for my imac, and only use the trackpad for my macbook. I get the cursor problem with both of those machines. Havent tried a mouse with either.

I have a Mac Pro (2008) and use a Wacom tablet and Magic Trackpad with it. I don't have any issues with the cursor.

I was recently using a Macbook Pro with external 24" monitor and corded Logitech mouse. No issues with cursor.

I just sold the Macbook Pro and got a new Air. Using a Mighty Mouse with the same external 24" monitor. Occasionally the cursor will simply disappear. This happens most frequently when I'm using Acrobat Professional 9, and I have the cursor inside of a field in a PDF form I've created. It's really frustrating and almost impossible to work in Acrobat.
