几乎每个Mac用户迟早都会面临这个问题——鼠标在你的Mac上不断消失。似乎它是随机发生的，没有任何明显的原因。但是，消失的光标可能是许多问题的根源。
由于它是您与计算机交互的重要组成部分，因此光标问题(problems with the cursor)可能会破坏您的用户体验并造成很大压力。如果您的工作依赖于鼠标或触控板(trackpad)，那可能会特别烦人。
大多数情况下，您可以通过在整个计算机屏幕上移动和单击来修复消失的鼠标，但这不是最复杂的方法，也无法解决问题。更好的处理方法是首先找出导致光标消失的原因。然后你可以尝试一些不同的方法来修复它。
为什么你的鼠标消失了(Why Your Mouse Disappears)
可能会感觉您的光标随机消失。实际上，这可能是由于几个不同的原因而发生的。
如果您注意到您的鼠标在Mac上不断消失，请检查是否正在发生以下情况之一：
- 您打开了许多选项卡或浏览器，并且Mac的可用内存不足。
- 您正在使用多个显示器。
- 光标在观看YouTube(YouTube)视频时特别消失。
- 您在Mac上运行第三方应用程序并导致软件冲突。
如果您的光标仅在您在Mac(Mac)上使用特定应用程序时消失并且在您切换到计算机上的任何其他位置时工作正常，那么是时候联系应用程序开发人员了。如果似乎没有任何应用程序出现问题，请尝试以下解决方案之一，看看是否可以让您的鼠标恢复原状。
访问 Dock 或菜单以恢复光标(Visit The Dock Or Menu To Bring The Cursor Back)
当您的鼠标丢失时，您的第一个冲动可能是在整个计算机屏幕上摆动。不要漫无目的地这样做，而是向下滚动到 Dock(scroll down to the Dock)（屏幕底部），然后再次向上滚动。然后光标应该重新出现。
如果它仍然丢失，请将其一直向上移动到菜单(Menu)栏。单击菜单上的任意位置应使鼠标光标返回。
使用触控板或触控板(Use Your Touchpad Or Trackpad)
使用触控板(Using your trackpad)或触摸板，尝试用三个手指向右滑动。它将带您进入小部件(Widgets)屏幕。等待(Wait)大约 10 秒钟，然后向左滑动以返回主屏幕。
要尝试的另一件事是用四根手指在触控板或触摸板上上下滑动。看看这些技巧之一是否能让你的鼠标回来。
更改光标大小(Change The Cursor Size)
当您的指针丢失时，请尝试更改其大小。您可以通过System Preferences来完成。前往Apple菜单，然后选择系统偏好设置(System Preferences)>辅助功能(Accessibility)>显示(Display)。找到光标(Cursor)选项卡并通过拖动滑块来更改光标的大小。
您还可以让 Siri 来帮助您(get Siri to help you)执行此操作。如果您的Mac上启用了Siri，请使用快捷方式访问它并让她为您增加光标大小。访问Siri的默认快捷键是：Function (fn) + Space、(hold) Command (Cmd) + Space或 (hold) Option (alt) + Space。
使用右键单击或单击并拖动(Use Right-Click Or Click & Drag)
当您的鼠标消失时，以某些方式单击它可以将其恢复。首先尝试右键单击鼠标或触摸板。如果这不起作用，请转到您的桌面，然后像选择一组文件时一样单击并拖动。释放后光标应重新出现。
在应用程序之间切换(Switch Between The Apps)
使用Command (Cmd) + Tab键盘快捷键调出应用程序切换器。当你这样做时，先按住Cmd然后按Tab。在应用程序之间来回切换几次，看看这是否会让你的指针回来。
使用任务控制(Use Mission Control)
有时只需启动Mission Control(launching Mission Control)即可恢复您的光标。要打开Mission Control，请按键盘上的Mission Control 键 (F3)(Mission Control key (F3))，或使用Control +向上(Up)箭头快捷键。
如果您已在屏幕上设置了Mission Control 的Hot Corners(Mission Control’s Hot Corners) ，请在光标(move your cursor)消失时将其移至其中一个。这个简单的动作通常会让你的鼠标回来。
使用强制退出命令(Use The Force Quit Command)
当光标消失时，调出强制退出(Force Quit)菜单，看看是否能解决问题。为此，请按Command ( Cmd ) + Option ( Alt ) + Escape ( Esc )。如果您的鼠标没有重新出现，请尝试强制退出(force quitting an app)您认为可能导致问题的应用程序。
重置 Mac 的 NVRAM(Reset Your Mac’s NVRAM)
对Mac(Mac)进行故障排除时，通常会尝试重置NVRAM。NVRAM负责在电源关闭时存储数据和计算机设置。它还可以帮助您解决光标消失的问题。
要重置NVRAM，首先，关闭您的计算机并重新打开。当您听到启动声音时，按Command (Cmd) + Option (Alt) + P + R。继续按住这些键，直到您听到Mac再次重新启动。
重新启动你的 Mac(Restart Your Mac)
有时，只需重新启动Mac即可帮助您解决问题并恢复鼠标。
但是，如果您的鼠标仍然在Mac(Mac)上消失，您可能需要更进一步并以安全模式(safe mode)重新启动计算机。这样您就可以了解是否有任何第三方应用程序导致这种情况发生。
要重新启动您的Mac，请将其关闭并重新打开。当您听到启动声音时，按住Shift键。一直按住它，直到您看到登录屏幕。进入安全模式后，查看光标是否正常工作。然后再次 重新启动Mac以返回正常模式。(Mac)
学习在没有鼠标的情况下使用 Mac(Learn To Use Your Mac Without a Mouse)
光标消失问题的最终解决方案是学习在没有鼠标的情况下使用Mac 。您可以从学习Mac的(Mac)基本键盘快捷键(essential keyboard shortcuts)开始，然后继续学习特定的快捷键，例如用于截屏(shortcuts for taking screenshots)的快捷键或可以帮助您解冻计算机的(help you unfreeze your computer)键盘快捷键。

Mouse Keeps Disappearing On Mac? 10 Things To Try
Almоst every Mac user has to face this problem sooner or later – the mouse keeps disaрpearing on your Mac. It seems aѕ though it happens randomly and without any obvious reason. However, a disapрearing cursоr can be a ѕoυrce of many problеms.
Since it’s a big part of your interaction with the computer, problems with the cursor can ruin your user experience and cause a lot of stress. If your work depends on a mouse or trackpad, it can be especially annoying.
Most of the time you can fix the disappearing mouse by moving and clicking all over your computer screen, but it’s not the most sophisticated method and it won’t solve the problem. A better way of dealing with it is to find out first what’s causing your cursor to disappear. Then you can try a few different things to fix it.
Why Your Mouse Disappears
It might feel like your cursor disappears at random times. In reality, it might be happening for a few different reasons.
If you notice that your mouse keeps disappearing on your Mac, check to see if one of these things is happening:
- You have many tabs or browsers open and your Mac is running low on available memory.
- You’re using multiple monitors.
- The cursor disappears specifically when watching YouTube videos.
- You’re running third-party apps on your Mac and it’s causing software conflicts.
When your cursor only disappears while you’re using a specific app on your Mac and works fine when you switch to any other place on your computer, it’s time to contact the app developer. If none of the apps seem to be the problem, try one of the following solutions and see if that brings your mouse back.
Visit The Dock Or Menu To Bring The Cursor Back
When your mouse goes missing, your first impulse will probably be to wiggle all over your computer screen. Instead of doing that aimlessly, scroll down to the Dock (bottom of the screen) and then scroll up again. The cursor should reappear then.
If it’s still missing, move it all the way up to the Menu bar. Clicking anywhere on the menu should bring your mouse cursor back.
Use Your Touchpad Or Trackpad
Using your trackpad or touchpad, try to swipe with three fingers to the right. It will take you to the Widgets screen. Wait for about 10 seconds and then swipe to the left to go back to your main screen.
Another thing to try is to swipe up and down with four fingers on your trackpad or touchpad. See if one of these tricks brings your mouse back.
Change The Cursor Size
When your pointer goes missing, try changing its size. You can do it through System Preferences. Go to the Apple menu, then select System Preferences > Accessibility > Display. Find the Cursor tab and change the size of your cursor by dragging the slider bar.
You can also get Siri to help you do this. If Siri is enabled on your Mac, use a shortcut to access it and have her increase the cursor size for you. The default shortcuts for accessing Siri are: Function (fn) + Space, (hold) Command (Cmd) + Space, or (hold) Option (alt) + Space.
Use Right-Click Or Click & Drag
When your mouse disappears, clicking it in certain ways can bring it back. Try right-clicking on your mouse or touchpad first. If that doesn’t work, go to your desktop, then click and drag like when you select a group of files. The cursor should reappear after you release.
Switch Between The Apps
Use the Command (Cmd) + Tab keyboard shortcut to bring up the application switcher. When you do that, hold Cmd first then press Tab. Switch between the apps a couple of times back and forth and see if that brings your pointer back.
Use Mission Control
Sometimes simply launching Mission Control can restore your cursor. To open Mission Control, press the Mission Control key (F3) on your keyboard, or use a Control + Up arrow shortcut.
If you’ve set up Mission Control’s Hot Corners on your screen, move your cursor into one of them when it disappears. This simple move will often bring your mouse back.
Use The Force Quit Command
When your cursor disappears, bring up the Force Quit menu and see if that fixes the problem. To do that, press Command (Cmd) + Option (Alt) + Escape (Esc). If your mouse doesn’t reappear then, try force quitting an app that you think might be causing the problem.
Reset Your Mac’s NVRAM
Resetting NVRAM is a common thing to try when troubleshooting your Mac. NVRAM is responsible for storing data and computer settings if the power is switched off. It can also help you fix your disappearing cursor problem.
To reset NVRAM, first, switch your computer off and on again. When you hear the startup sound, press Command (Cmd) + Option (Alt) + P + R. Keep holding the keys till you hear your Mac restart again.
Restart Your Mac
Sometimes simply restarting your Mac can help you save the problem and bring the mouse back.
However, if your mouse still keeps disappearing on your Mac, you might want to take it further and restart your computer in safe mode. That way you can find out if there are any third-party apps causing this to happen.
To restart your Mac, turn it off and on again. When you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. Keep holding it till you see the login screen. Once in safe mode, see if your cursor is working. Then restart your Mac once again to return to normal mode.
Learn To Use Your Mac Without a Mouse
The ultimate solution to the disappearing cursor problem is learning to use your Mac without a mouse. You can start by learning the essential keyboard shortcuts for your Mac, and then move on to specific ones like shortcuts for taking screenshots, or keyboard shortcuts that can help you unfreeze your computer.
