Mighty mouse wont scroll up

I am using a bluetooh mouse, and the scroll button (wheel) all of the sudden won't let me scroll up. I can scroll down, but not up.
I took out the batteries and "rebooted" with the same result. Everything in system preferences looks ok. Ideas?

  • Mighty Mouse wont scroll?!?

    Hey guys... for some reason my Mighty Mouse quit scrolling down today. It will still scroll up but not down. I can't feel anything when I scroll down that makes it seem like its catching something, so I am cluecless. Any ideas?!

    Use this article first: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417
    I have to clean mine a couple of times a month, when the above cleaning method doesn't work I resort to more drastic measures. I use a small amount of Rubbing Alcohol on a clean old t-shirt to clean the ball and then blow it out. I have done this many times in the last year, works well with no ill affects to the mouse.

  • August 08 imac. Mighty Mouse wont scroll down.

    Hey, I have August 2008 iMac and since about Febuary the mighty mouse will not scroll down. I havent been using it much (Had major pc problems... Been working on my pc alot.) and am moving it to somewhere where it will get used more.
    How can I get the wheel to scroll down again?
    I have tried unplugging it and wiping it on my shirt, and rolling the scroll ball on a sheet of paper upside down. But those didnt fix the problem.

    The mouse ball is dirty, you need to use a damp towel and vigorously rub the mouse's ball for at least 30 seconds. Another technique is getting a clean sheet of paper, placing it on a flat surface, turning over the mouse and vigorously rolling the ball on the paper.
    If that doesn't fix it (it should!) then it is covered by your original warranty so contact Apple or take it to an Apple Store for replacement.

  • My mouse wont scroll

    the rolly ball on my mouse wont scroll down, it scrolls up & both ways sideways
    but not down... i swear, like 5 minutes ago it was fine, then all of a sudden it just stopped scrolling. Its brand new like 2 months ago... what is wrong,
    some one help please!!

    You need to clean the ball.
    Take a damp rag (lightly dampened with plain water), and roll the ball in all directions with the surface of the damp rag.
    After several scrolls in each direction, the ball will be cleaned of the oils from your fingers.
    It should start working again after that.
    Basically, the oils from your fingers build-up on the ball, and it slips past it's sensors instead of rolling against them.
    This is pretty common with trackballs and scroll-wheels.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling

    I have an Intel iMac with Tiger. Recently the scroll ball on my Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling. Nothing happens at all when I move it. I went to the preferences to see if a setting was wrong. Most of the mouse options have the word "Expose" (I can't figure out how to do the accent mark) so I looked that up. It seems Expose is the reason the windows sometimes fly apart for no known reason. I wish I could turn that off, I hate it. Anyway, I tried different mouse options and the scrolling hasn't come back.
    Thanks for any help offered.

    I will try cleaning the scroll ball like that.
    I want to be able to scroll, but I don't want the windows to suddenly jump apart. I don't even know what button makes that happen. I didn't know Exposé (got the accent, thanks) existed until today. Can you tell me exactly what setting gets rid of Exposé but not scrolling?

  • Mighty Mouse bluetooth: scroll wheel in Vista 64 bit doesn't work

    I Installed Vista 64 bit on my Mac Pro.
    My bluetooth mighty mouse has been recognized as an hid mouse. It works but the scroll wheel.
    I tested on osx and it works, so it is not dirty or broken.
    I tried to install the drivers from my leopard dvd but I receive an error message during the installation.
    I downloaded the bootcamp update for 64bit systems but when I try to install it, it tells me the software to be updated is missing.
    I tried to use a recent leopard dvd a friend gave but it tells me that my system doesn't support 64 bit softwares (is a late 2007 Mac Pro).
    Is there anyone who knows the answer?

    You have to have a pre-2008 Mac Pro I take it.
    (might want to include more in your profile)
    First you need to install 64-bit drivers from Apple off 10.5.4 or later DVD or from a 2008 Mac Pro.
    Might even be drivers for generic BT mice available somewhere??

    I think you'll need to uninstall your current Apple services and device drivers, restart and then go with BC 2.x for 64-bit.

  • Mighty Mouse will scroll down but not up.

    All of a sudden my mighty mouse won't scroll up. It will scroll down, left and right but not up. The mighty mouse is about 6 months old and has worked fine on my old Dual 1GHz G4 MDD.

    your mighty mouse should have a 1yr warranty on it, take it to an apple store and let them know what the problem is.
    as I have never used a mighty mouse I cant offer advice, other than perhaps its dirty inside and maybe you could clean it...

  • Mighty Mouse just scrolls up

    Hi,
    I just got a used (looks like new) bluetooth mighty mouse. The problem is the scroll ball only scrolls up. I set it to 360° and all other options. No effect.
    Another thing is I can't configure the mouse as a bluetooth device. The mouse works (except the scrolling) an when I hit the bluetooth icon it is shown. But when I search for bluetooth devices oder even when I use the mouse configuration menu an click on "configure bluetooth mouse" it will not be found?
    Does anyone know this funny stuff?

    You must clean it.
    Emphasis on rubbing vigorously.

  • New wireless mouse wont scroll

    Hi
    I have an Imac 10.4.11 and I have just purchased a new apple bluetooth mouse today but I cant get it to scroll down through a website as they do in the video on the apple site.
    Can anyone shed any light on this?
    I have gone into system preferences and tried to see under mouse if I can activate these functions but its not available as an option.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Are you talking about a "Mighty Mouse" or a "Magic Mouse"? Or an easier way to distinguish would be do you have a scroll ball? If you do, I would say that there's a good chance it's not scrolling properly because it's dirty. You could probably use a isopropyl alcohol pad or cloth with a slight amount of rubbing alcohol to rub it back and forth to clean it, see if that helps. Be sure to pull the batteries and turn it off, just to be on the safe side.

  • Mouse wont scroll

    Hi
    We have just brought a windows 8 laptop and the mouse was working fine until we shut it down the first night and it updated. the next day It wont scroll at ALL on internet explorer and on the side bar the arrows up and down wont work either but if you
    pull the bar up and down it works. It seems to be only internet exporer it has problems with. Our mouse is "Genius" but I put a different mouse in to see if that would work and that didn't help either. Ive tried all the other usb ports but still
    no go. The mouse works well apart from the scroll.
    Can anyone please help me?!?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    It seems that the update cause this issue.
    You can try to restore the system back to the point before this issue, and then check the update manually, if there is any optional update related to mouse or USB driver (I suppose that you use USB mouse), please uncheck it and install other updates to see
    what's going on.
    If there is no optional update related to mouse or USB driver, I suggest you install these updates one by one, after each update, restarting the computer to check the issue. According to this action, we can determine which update cause your issue.

  • Mighty Mouse sudden scroll issues on Mavericks

    My bluetooth Mighy Mouse (a little ancient, but still works well for me) was functioning perfectly till suddenly the vertical scrolling increased speed rapidly, followed shortly by the horizontal scrolling failing completely. This all happened after an episode of letting my battery die to the point of power down, me plugging in the Mac, giving it a few minutes to boot only to find everything very slow, then doing a restart. Upon start up, my Mac returned to being its normal speedy self, but this Mighty Mouse issue occured.
    The settings in preferences -> mouse are ''lowest scroll speed'' and "vertical and horizontal" scrolling
    I have reset the SMC and PRAM. This did nothing.
    Any suggestions???

    Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know of that preference item.
    But changing this did not help, in fact it seems to coincide with the System Preferences>Mouse>Scrolling (change one, and the other changes too). And changing this scrolling setting anywhere from low to high doesn't seem to change my current scrolling speed. It is unregulated.
    I should also mention that I have two bluetooth Mighty Mice and one corded Mighty Mouse. All of these have super-fast vertical scrolling and NO horizontal scrolling.
    Also, when resetting the PRAM, it is an obvious restart. When resetting SMC, is there any visible/audible cues that the reset has occured? I just want to rule these two possible solutions out.
