I can no longer scroll downward using the scroll ball.

For no reason I can identify, all of a sudden I have lost the capability to scroll in a downward direction when using the Scroll Ball (or whatever the thing is called). I can still scroll upward. I have set Systems Preferences >Keyboard and Mouse >Mouse Preferences >Scrolling Options to Vertical Only. The Scroll Ball is set to Off. I have restarted the computer after changing the preferences to no avail.
The same thing happens no matter what option I select in the Scrolling Options window, e.g., Vertical and Horizontal, Vertical Only, 360 Degree, etc. I can scroll upward only, not downward.
I can scroll both upward and downward using the Up and Down arrows on the keyboard, but only upward using the Scroll Ball. I can scroll in both directions when I put the cursor on the sliding bar at the side of the window, and when I click on the up or down arrows in the side bar.
How do I set up to restore the capability to scroll both upward and downward using the Scroll Ball?

  • I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why?

    Hej some one,
    I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why & what can I do?

    Check your smtp preferences in mail.app.
    See if mail.app's Connection Doctor has any useful info.  Does it's status indicate all is ok?  When you use it's Show Detail are there any (useful) error messages?

  • Since upgrading to 3.6.13, i can no longer open tabs using the extension, only by right clicking on the open page, and then not always. I've had to go to Chrome as i can't get firefox to work.

    Firefox worked great. I have been using it for years. When i completed the recent update to 3.6.13, the new tab button/extension little + box quit working. I can click and nothing happens. I right click, get the drop down menu but nothing works. I cannot open a blank tab or windwo as when i want to go somewhere new without closing windows i have open. The only way i can access a new tab is if i go to my bookmarks and open one then use that screen to go where i wanted to go. I've had to switch to Google Chrome to complete tasks i need done online, but it doesn't let me do a lot of what i want to.

    I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

  • Can No longer BBM or Use the Internet

    Title summarises it all really. I got a BB Curve 8520 for xmas, phone up orange, they put me on a temporary contract so i could use BBM and the browser until Jan the 5th when my contract is paid, at which point the BB £5 internet bolt on would be added.
    This bolt on has been applied, im paying for the service. Yet i am not recieving it, and orange seem to ahve no idea as to why my phone isnt picking up the internet service.
    I have performed the options, advance settings, hout routing table, register now, it has done nothing.
    When i go on manage connections, service status its says : Blackberry internet service, connection: Mobile Network.
    Considering orange have been afwul and not helped at all over then say if it has fixed itself in 48hours ring us back, i was hoping someone here might shed some ligh on the situation?
    thaks in advance
    James

    Strange, but if your BIS connection is through the mobile network, that's a clear indication that your service should be working.
    Have you rebooted the device lately? 
    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner:
    With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

    You are referring to the Pages application? And you do not have this drop down window in the menu bar under Share?
    I just tried it and clicked on Pages and my Mail app opened with the document already imported.
    Which Mac OS X version and Pages version are you using?

  • Why can't I use the scroll wheel in Photoshop CC 2014?

    Hi,
    I have Photoshop CC 2014 on my laptop. It was working perfectly but then I had to reinstall Windows. Once I had reinstalled Windows and Photoshop I discovered that I could no longer use the scroll wheel on my mouse to move around documents in Photoshop. I can't scroll up to move the document up, scroll down to move the document down, use Alt+Scroll to zoom in/out or use Shift+Scroll to move left/right.
    I've looked in the options and the option to use the scroll wheel to zoom is enabled - still not working.
    Any ideas? Tried Googling but can't really find any solutions.
    Thanks all!

    I'm having the same issue. Scroll wheel works fine in all Adobe products besides Photoshop. I've tried reinstalling Photoshop, plugging in the mouse to a different USB port, reinstalling the mouse driver, and restarting my computer multiple times. This bug makes Photoshop practically useless, as everything takes about twice as long to get done.
    I really hope we get a fix for this soon. So far CC has been a huge disappointment, filled with small, productivity-destroying bugs like this one.

  • No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this?

    No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this? I received it as a gift for college, but its hard to do research when everyone constantly yells at me to get off because they can no longer continue what they're doing.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie.  Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

  • Why can't I scroll using the scroll wheel

    Today (01/31) I installed my new computer (HP h9-1180 Phoenix). I'm connected to a home network with two computers (#1 new, #2 old, and laptop).
    For some reason, no matter what mouse I use, I'm unable to scroll using the scroll wheel. If I want to scroll down a page, I have to use the scroll bar in the right margin.
    Is this a problem with this model computer or is there a file missing somewhere?
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thank you.

    You have to have music in your iCloud account to do that...when you open the Music app on your iPad, for example, you can access all music from iCloud that you have already placed in the iCloud or associated with iCloud.  That is not for downloading music you have not already purchased or downloaded.

  • I can't zoom in and out using the scroll wheel

      so i want to zoom in and out on photoshop how i always have...using ctrl and scroll wheel...
    but when i went to do it how i naturally do it, it didnt work..after some research i found you go into preferences, general and tick the box about zoom scroll or somthing.
    Yet when i go onto it i dont have any options about zooming !!?? from what ive seen i have less options than others.
    and im pretty sure it isnt only available on newer version..because i have done it before on really old photoshop versions.
    so any help would be appriciated, thanks

    Photoshop 7 doesn't have a preference for using  Zoom With Scroll Wheel like cs2 and later do, but holding down the Alt key and using the scroll wheel should work
    to zoom in or out.
    Does the Alt key work if you make a selection and then use Alt+Ctrl+D to bring up the Feather dialog?
    Does the scroll wheel work to change the layer blend modes by duplicating the layer and highlighting
    the layer blend mode of Normal in the layers palette and then using the scroll wheel to change blend modes?
