Cursor doesn't disappear during movie in iTunes

I am having the same problem. It's highly annoying. Turned off blutooth and therefore disabled the external trackpad and restarted iTunes. Didn't work.

Same problem here, any fixes to this? Also, this: Black levels / contrast change with subtitles

The fix for me was quitting Safari.

I think it's related to how much free space you have on your HD. If it's < 20% of the capacity, it may cause this problem.

I sincerely doubt it has anything to do with HD space. In my case, over 100Gb free (of 250Gb).

And Safari wasn't running either.

quit all other programs

ensure that you don't have external trackpads/mouse/keyboards connected

With a Mac Mini your suggestions don't seem to really make at all that much sense. And also it is rather clear that you don't have any clue as to what's causing the problem, other that it's a bug in iTunes - clearly. This problem doesn't appear with other players, such as VLC or browser based ones like Netflix.

If I made sure I don't have an external keyboard connected, I would get the connectivity helper thing advising me to connect a keyboard.

But then again, you're just assuming everyone is using a laptop?

For your information, the colored cursor appears in the center of the screen when subtitles are shown, so the screen lightness bug and this are most probably linked.

You're a real *****! Just trying to help.

Given that you have a feedback score of zero - you ought to try being a little nicer to others.

I'm sorry I wasted my time trying to help you.

Trying without actually knowing a thing you're talking about is just wasting your time and the time of others.

Since you didn't actually know what's causing the problem, you would've been better off not 'trying to help' at all - just suggesting to try this and that random things is really wasting other people's time and diverting everyone from finding the real cause of the problem.

I guess I could be sorry for making you so angry, but then again you should really just look into the mirror - I'm not the one being a line of asterisks here. I'm not here to have polite conversations but to find answers - you might find other places more fruitful for your urges to have nice conversations and small talk.

My advice solved the problem for me. That's why I'm posting it as solution. Because it is a solution!

You are a loser.

As usual, your responses offer truly insightful information related to the issue.

Keep up the good work!
