Does your cursor disappear?

If I don't have a Cursor it's impossible to get to System Preferences or anywhere else to do anything. I need a Cursor. I cannot control anything on my MBPro.

I too have a disappearing cursor which happens in iTunes full screen mode while watching video. Yosemite latests versions. it is most annoying

Yup. Happens on both a 15" MBP Retina and my Mac Pro tower. So irritating that Apple won't fix.

If it happens when you have VoiceOver on, do a Command F5. It turns VoiceOver Off and the Cursor comes back. It's a Toggle.

Thanks, i disabled the zoom and i now have my mouse back when in itunes full screen mode. Apple needs to add that to a bug list somewhere.

Thanks - this fixed my cursor problem as well!

Sometimes, the issue can be reproduced by quickly switching between apps using CMD+Tab so that the popup with apps' thumbnails won't even appear. Both Yosemite and El Capitan.

I used tools from the toolbar but I can't get my cursor back. Now I can only use one of the tools as a cursor.

Any ideas on this?

move your cursor to top left of the screen, so drag your finger across the pad in the direction to the top left towards the apple logo, you cursor should reappear.

I have the same problem except I don't get a chance to open another app because when I sign into my iMac then the cursor disappears. After 10 minutes it just reappeared for the 1st time.

Just bought a new MacBook Pro 15" and have this problem with no second monitor. None of the suggestions help.

That works for me but it extremely irritating.

I have found that the size of the cursor triggers its disappearance. If I reduce the cursor size to minimum, it's fine. If I enlarge it again it starts disappearing again. Apple has been advised.
