Scroll ball only one way-down.

My wireless mouse scroll ball only works down and is unresponsive up. This symptom occured before and seemed to cure itself. There was a time in the past when it was intermittent. I dropped the mouse earlier today. Could it have suffered brain damage?

I should have read further into the posts before I asked. Turns out that it was just in need of cleaning. As was suggested in another post, I used a soft dust free damp cloth and turned the mouse up-side-down and rubbed the track ball around in all directions until all functions returned.

  • Mouse scrolling only one way

    All of a sudden, my mouse will scroll only one way (down) with the trackball. I assume it's a corrupted preference(?), but I don't find the .plist item (probably not looking in the right place). Would appreciate help asap.
    TIA,
    Picman

    Clean the tracking button. Details in http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MB112LL/B?pqid=QX2AHHD74J7F2T 2JKY9TDJY7PJ2C77Y4T Do note, that denatured alcohol on a soft cloth sometimes is needed if the residue is extremely oily.

  • Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

    Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

    That sucks. DropBox can.
    We want to SYNC literature down to sales reps and not have the sales reps accidentally erase from the Cloud for all. Hence we want a one way SYNC to have them SYNC literature onto their computers for remote
    access to the files.
    Surely SharePoint cannot be that far behind DropBox.
    Is there no way to achieve that?

  • My iPhone calendar and iCloud sync only one way

    My iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar and iCloud sync only one way -- from iCloud to the phone. Any ideas why I can't sync from my iPhone calendar to iCloud?

    When you add an event on Iphone, 3rd fields down from bottom, select calender > iCloud. Voila!!
    I am not sure everybody understand really the intention with iCloud. It is one single calender residing on a Apple server somewhere. Selecting iCloud from any device will show this calender. Then how to sync this with other calenders is to me a mystery, or not possible, especially on Lion iCal. Please anyone.

  • Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail acct? I don't want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts on my gmail as I'll only use it as a back-up 4 my IPhone contacts.

Please Help!!

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

  • HT1386 How do you sync only one way?

    I want to know how to sync only one way because there are some photos from our previous apple devices and I don't want those photos to appear onto my new one when I sync to put the photos or videos onto the computer. Does anyone know how to do it without messing up the system?

    The photos are now on your computer and you don't want them on your new iPad?
    Then move this photos on your computer to another location (folder) first and then sync.

  • Why is Mail rule syncing only one way?

    Odd. I've got a Mac mini and an iMac, both running 10.8.2, both with iCloud syncing Documents & Data. Mail on the mini has rules -- created on that machine -- for SpamSieve that are not syncing to the iMac; in fact, both rules disappear every few days and I only notice because spam starts piling up.
    On the other hand, changes to Mail rules on the iMac are synced to the mini. The mini has been running Mountain Lion for five months; the rules only started disappearing after I upgraded to ML on the iMac last month.
    Any ideas on why the syncing is only one-way?

    It appears that I can't edit my original question. So here is new information. It is syncing. However, the contacts are syncing with my personal folders. The calendar is syncing from Outlook to Ipad from my personal folders. However, the calendar is syncing to Outlook in a hotmail calendar in the profile that I didn't know existed. How do I get it set right.
    I tried to select the calendar. However only one calendar is available in itunes. It must be the correct calendar as it is syncing fine. So how do I get ipad to sync back to the personal folders calendar instead of the hotmail calendar in my profile?

  • AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.

    AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.  I see both machines on both airdrop windows. Firewalls on both machines are set exactly the same way, and with Network Browser set to allow.  Can send a file from Mac mini to MacBook, but not the other way.  Never get a window asking to accept on the Mac mini.
    Found no useful documentation on AirDrop anywhere in the whole support site.

    Maybe this will work. From an Apple support article.
    You can also use the Share button to send files to your neighbors via AirDrop. In a Finder window, select the item you want to share, and then click the Share button in the toolbar. For more information about the Share button, see this help topic:

  • Since me and my mother moved from iChat to iMessage bêta, screen sharing works only one way. I can share my screen with her but not the reverse. When actually what I would like to do is share her screen. Video works fine both ways.

    Screensharing works only one way since we moved from iChat to iMessage bêta. Before that we have never had any problem with screen sharing. We haven't changed anything else, just installed iMessage. What I need to do is share her screen, and the only thing I can do is share my screen...
    Thanks for your help.

    HI,
    On the whole I am finding it very stable.  (it presents the same quirks in the same manner each time)
    It has some things that are more Feature requests than "Bugs" per se about the way it works that I would like to change.
    It can also be difficult to tell exactly what is going on whenyou are hearing about it third hand.
    Sounds like you have a plan.

  • Iphone 5 - only one way synchronization with iCal

    Hello community,
    Since I have my new iPhone 5 the calendar synchronization is not working properly anymore which means only one way from iCal to iPhone but not the other direction. I could not found a solution in the diverse support communities so maybe you have an idea what the error might be?
    I am synchronizing locally via iTunes from a Mac Book Pro and I am not using iCloud.
    It would be great if you could help.
    Greetings from Zurich,
    Heike Anna

    This is generally an indication that the synchronization framework on your machine is not handling data changes properly, and must be reset.
    To reset it, launch iSync—that's right: iSync, not iTunes—then…
    • open the Preferences… dialog
    • press the Reset Sync History button
    That will remove the records currently stored in your truth database, and force a first-time, slow synchronization event when you next launch one in iTunes.

  • Lightning connector  charges only one way on 1 month old IPAD.

    lightning connector  charges only one way on 1month old IPAD . Any idea what could be the issue ....?

    Hey George,
    Have you done a wireless scan of the network to see what the wireless network looks like?
    I would use the program INSSIDER on a wireless laptop and scan the network for all the 2.4ghz networks.
    This will allow you to select a channel that is not being used and should stabilize your wireless.
    If someone is within range of your wireless signal and their signal is strong enough they can disrupt your signal.
    I would try that and let us know how it goes.

  • Are international calling plans only one way?

    I just purchased a Skype plan that lets me call landlines and mobiles in the UK. However, I'm anticpating someone from the UK to call me in the USA. Does my subscription allow for this, or it only one way - I can only call phones in the UK?
    Second question: do I need to purchase a separate subscription apart from the one mentioned above to call phones in the USA and answer calls via Skype that originate in the USA?
    Thanks!

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    1. Your contact would need to purchase a Subscription to call you.
    2. Yes. You require the Unlimited USA/Canada Subscription 
    3. Your US contacts can call your Skype Number which you have already purchased.

  • Mac to PC video chat connects only one way?

    This may be somewhat off topic for Mac users, but maybe someone in the community can still help me.
    I have a strange problem using iChat AV 3 on a MacBook and AIM 5.9 on a PC for video chat. I can readily establish video chat when the PC contacts the Mac, but vice versa the video chat cannot be established. The PC gets the invitation to video chat, but as soon as it accepts the connection is terminated, and I keep getting a firewall error message. Instant messaging between the computers can be established both ways. I assume that one crucial port on the PC is blocked by the firewall. Scouting this and other forums I found lists of possible ports that need to be opened, and I tried all of them, but nothing works. Tried the DMZ for the PC, which didn't work either. Tried deactivating Windows Firewall, which didn't work. Any other ideas?
    The PC set up is as follows:
    Thinkpad T23 with Windows XP SP2; Windows Firewall on, AIM port allowed; Netgear Router MR814v2; UPnP activated, no port forwarding at this point; AIM 5.9
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Jan,
    Thanks for the pointers, but network utility didn't
    reveal any problems. I really assume the problem is
    on the PC side.
    Ralph,
    I monitored the contact attempts using connection
    doctor, and it didn't give me any error messages on
    the mac side. To answer your other question, I did
    activate UPnP in the Windows Firewall as well as in
    the router, but that didn't help either. It turns out
    that activating or deactivating UPnP on the router
    doesn't make a difference. It always only connects
    one way. I did however activate windows firewall
    error logging, and it gave the following log

    Not being an expert in this maybe someone can give me
    a hint based on this. The three final UDP drops in
    the Mac to PC connect attempt make me suspicious, but
    I'm not sure how to address this. I think I tried
    forwarding this port to the PC without success.
    Thanks again for the comments so far.

    Fritz,
    Could you have a look together with Ralph if maybe the Adobe Bridge is malfunctioning. I have found a missing component wich is known and documented. This is the bug report and the way to fix it. I have found it in my own computer, after fixing it the iChat suddenly worked. I suggest you take the missing part (the update file you were asking about Ralph, it is lost in a file named update) and run Fritz' test again. If the code progressively gets better then we have pinned down the "random" factor of the malfunction. The documentation you find here: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/332537.html. It blocks the airport. A lot of peolple run Adobe foto shop, mine came from Elements. So, do expect progress... Have to bring my daughter to school now. See you later. Ralph, when we are right hit a flag in the code.
    Talk to you later.

  • Mouse scroll ball only works downwards

    The scroll ball on my mouse (which came with the computer) only works when scrolling downwards. It was OK yesterday. Any suggestions?

    Cleaning the ball is temporary at best. Most of the time the problem is not only a dirty ball but dust and dirt on the sensor below the ball. This is what works for me every time:
    Place a piece of clean white printer paper on your desk. Disconnect the mouse and turn upside down on the paper. Push down on the mouse so the ball compresses on the paper. Now virtuously move the mouse ball on the paper (fast, up and down, in circles for about a minute). You should see little bits on crud on the paper when finished.

  • Two-way or only one-way syncing between G4 and mobile??

    I have a Sony Ericcsson k750i mobile. When I first got it, I went through my Address Book (on my powerbook) and sorted it all out and synced with the phone (so all the numbers in the Address Book transfered to the phone). No problem. But now, if I sync, with isync, any numbers / names I have saved in the phonebook of the phone (say, I meet someone new when I'm out and take their number, put it directly in my phone) are erased. The sync, therefore, is ONE WAY, from the powerbook to the phone. Any new entries on the phone are scrapped.
    Is there a way to avoid this happening? I looked in isync but I don't find. It's a pretty stupid system if you can't have a two-way street when you're syncing.
    Any ideas much appreciated

    How? Does isync say something like, "There are contacts / numbers on your phone which are not in your Address Book. Do you want to copy them there?" to which you would reply Yes?
    How do you do it?
