TS2662 trackpad and mouse will not scroll

On 27" iMac using OS 10.7.4, trackpad and mouse will not scroll or swipe, can point with both, click only with mouse, scroll only with keys on keyboard.  What have I done now??? They are all paired with good batteries. Have checked in settings and they are enabled to scroll.

In Lion the scrolling is natural i.e. reversed to the way that computers typically scroll. Think of the scroll as grabbing the page an moving it either up or down vs moving the scroll bar down up or down. Also, the scroll bars are "hidden" by default and only show up when you are scrolling.
Are you using and Apple mouse? If you go to the system preferences and then to the "mouse" section there are options to change the natural scrolling. And if you go to System Preferences and then to "general" you can set it to show or hide the scroll bars.
If this is not what the issue is let me know and let me know what mouse you are using because there is something else that it could be.

    You have to remember, where the scroll ball is, there is a small gap which picks up dust and fluff.   That detritus gets everywhere and in your case affects the downward scroll.  
    Adding just a touch Linc Davis's suggestion, after you have vigorously rubbed the scroll ball on the pad, tap it on a hard surface from time to time.   Sometimes you will see small amounts of fluff appear.   You should also see dirty marks on the pad.

  • 10.10.1 magic mouse will not scroll now

    10.10.1 magic mouse will not scroll now
    anyone else having this problem
    mouse works... is recognized but the preference pane
    has not swipe selection and i cannot turn off bluetooth

    To resolve this issue try the following:
    from the upper left corner of your screen click:
    1.  / system preferences / bluetooth
    2. Locate your mouse under the devices panel
    3. Remove your mouse
    Click on it so it is highlighted in blue
    Click in the blue "x" or you can click delete after you have selected your mouse.
    4. Reconnect your mouse (re "pair" ) your mouse
    This should resolve the scrolling issue if it occurred after the 10.10.1 update.

  • Satellite L655-S5060 mouse will not scroll

    Just had to have a new hard drive installed and now the touchpad mouse will not scroll.  I don't see anything in the mouse properties to "turn it on".  I have tried updating driver and it says it is up to date.  Windows 7.  Thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Were these the drivers you tried updating?

    You could also try going into the "Advanced" tab of "Mouse Properties," clicking "Advanced feature settings..." and then restoring defaults. I agree that there doesn't seem to be anything about the normal scrolling, but maybe something is interfering.
    If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, you can try contacting support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

  • HT2693 My Mac OS X 10.4.8 mouse will not scroll  UP.  Other than that, it works fine.  I've cleaned it, but it's still an unhappy mouse.  What can I do?

    My Mac OS X 10.4.8 wireless mouse will not scroll UP.  It's been cleaned and works well in all other aspects.  Is it just time to get another one, or can this problem be fixed?

    I used iPad forum because the only other choice was iMac..... there is no forum for the Mouse.  Suggestions as to where I can go?
    Thanks

  • What am I doing to make my screen zoom in while I  am using my mouse?  It zooms to about double size, and using the control key and mouse will not return it to its former size.

    When I am searching the internet and using my mouse, my screen will suddenly zoom in to about double size.  Clicking control and mousing will not return it back to where it was.  I have no idea what I am doing to cause this to happen or how to reverse it.

    Hi.
    If you're using a Magic Mouse, a double tap on the mouse with one finger will zoom.
    Double tap again to unzoom.

  • My mouse will not scroll down pages in Firefox 4 and up.

    The scroll wheel on the mouse no longer works in any version of Firefox from version 4 and up. None of the suggestions I have seen in responses to similar questions do not work. The only thing that works is to downgrade to version 3.6.20 or lower. I am presently using Firefox 6 with Windows XP SP3.

    I have the same problem, the mouse is incompatible with Safari for Windows and MAC. I have instalkled the latest drivers and yet no joy. Switched to my old Logitech M305 and everything works fine. Also my MS Wheel mouse (Corded) works just fine too. After many tries the MS 4000 Wireless mous will not work with safari.
    Why the incompatibility? It surely is software related and seems to be related to the mouse driver.

  • We just added Maverick to our Mac and now the magic mouse will not scroll with finger tips!!

    We just upgraded our system to Maverick. Now our majic mouse does not respond to the finger swipe at all.
    Also the volume contro;s stopped working on the wireless keyboard.

    Hi davidgraham193,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Magic Mouse is not scrolling, first go to the Mouse section of System Preferences and try toggling the "Scroll direction: natural" checkbox to see if it has an effect.
    Scroll direction: natural:
    Select this option to move the contents of a window the same direction as your fingers.
