4th Gen scroll wheel not working

The wheel hasn't been working for the past couple days. It shows that its charging (at this very minute) but when I click the menu, or any other button it doesn't respond. If I slide the hold button over to the left, the backlight comes on, when I slide it back to unlock it, the light goes off, but still doesn't respond. I've restored it several times and it will work fine right after everything has synced back to the iPod, but a few minutes later it wont respond to anything I do.
I'm guessing it's dead...
Any ideas?

Sounds like your scroll wheel simply broke.
I know it doesn't appear to be working, but lets TRY a reset. Slide hold on and off, and hold Menu and center buttons for 6-10 seconds (an Apple logo should come up).

Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Scroll wheel not working in Mavericks

Update to OS X Mavericks resulted in mouse scroll wheel not working any more at all in any application. Any suggestions for get scroll wheel function working would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just to understand the sequence: you have this problem when you are in a Firefox tab, click a link, and it opens in a:
* new window
* new tab
* same tab
I'm guessing a new window. Since the title bar area is a bit faded, some other window must have the focus, but which one?? If you press and hold the Alt key and press and release the Tab key, you should get the visual Task Switcher pane. The icon to the left of the current highlighted icon indicates the window that had the focus. If you then click that first icon, is it another Firefox window, or some other app?

New Imac 20" mouse scroll wheel not working

I just got my imac about 4 months ago and the scroll wheel stop working properly. It will let me scroll down side to side but not back up. Is this something that apple will replace if i take it back to the apple store or am i stuck with a broken mouse.

It can be replaced under the one-year warranty or the iMac it came with, or three years if you have AppleCare.
However, you should try cleaning it. The little rollers under the ball get clogged with gunk and stop working properly.
You can refer to this Apple article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1537
The way I clean it is with a damp (not wet) lint-free cloth. Fold it over and put it flat on a table or counter top. Holding the mouse up-side-down, roll the ball quickly in all direction on the cloth. Do this for a minute or two. Usually, this will dislodge the accumulated gunk on the internal rollers, and the mouse scrolling will work again.
You may want to do this periodically, even if it appears to be working fine.

Canon SX50HS Scroll Wheel Not working

Hi all,
My SX50HS is approx. 3months old, and suddenly the scroll wheel stopped working. All the other functions seems to be working quite well. I went to the support center since the camera is still under warranty, and they said that they have to replace all the other circuitry and the lens setup to repair this, since the camera is sealed. Only LCD will not be replaced.
I am trying to talk with the camera shop to get a replacement due to all these circuitry replacement.
Anyone experienced this before? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

No that is not why your having problems like that, if you bumped that dail or somthing along those lines then that would make sense/

Lenovo Bluetooth Laser mouse 41u5009 scroll wheel not working in Virtual PC

Firstly this is not a type I have a 41U5009 that is the model number printed on the bottom of the mouse and this mouse came direct from Lenovo with my T61p notebook. For some reason to get drivers for this mouse you cannot simply type in the model number on the Lenovo site as it does not recognize it as a valid model number.
My issue is that the driver I have or the mouse does not allow the scroll wheel to work under MS virtual pc 2007. I am running Vista 64 bit on the T61P laptop and the virtual pc I am running xp. If I plug in other mice such as MS cordless mini mouse or HP standard mouse the wheel from those mice works in the VM. But the wheel on the Lenovo mouse does not work, this makes me believe it is the Lenovo mouse that is the issue. I have tried using the Lenovo mouse on another pc ( a clone pc) and have the same issue with the wheel not working. I should point out that in the parent OS the wheel on the Lenovo mouse works fine. I should also point out that in the VM every other function of the mouse works fine, it is just the wheel part that does not get recognized.

Sorry, but pressing F7 did not do anything I could see in the mobile browser. I had to check with the desktop browser to see what it was supposed to do, and I don't think this caret browsing function exists in the mobile version.
Also tried installing the latest non-beta mobile FIrefox alongside the beta, without syncing anything, and the nonfunctionality of mouse scrolling is present in that one, too. Am considering giving up on mobile Firefox on at least this device.
Note: in case this information is useful, the mouse scrolling works on the Firefox start page with the thumbnails for most used links, but not on any other pages.

X-fi scroll wheels not working (agai

Is there any fix for this issue? I bought the wretched thing partly because of the remote control functionality, and it's simply not up to scratch. The scroll wheels stop working if I install the webupdate drivers, and the only way I could get them to function was to stick with the original drivers off the CD. Now they have just stopped working overnight, for no discernible reason.
Mods, any info on this?

IPod Classic Scroll Wheel not working

Hello-
My scroll wheel sometimes does not work, and sometimes is very jumpy (therefore hard to choose the track I want). Can the wheel be cleaned? Or is there any troubleshooting that can be done?

I bought a new iPod classic today, got it home loaded my music and then sat down to check out the new features. Right off the bat, :"what the **** is wrong with the scroll wheel". after trying to convince myself nothing was wrong i did a search and found out a lot of people are having the same problem. It takes at least a second for it to start responding, its jumpy, sluggish, difficult, all things i've never experienced from an ipod before. This would be my 3rd ipod, 2 died, i've probably used 15-20 others through friends and work, and I'm returning my ipod classic tomorrow, its a bummer, sounds like the 5th gen ones are better.

Nano 4th gen hold switch not working

Hello. I just bought a used nano 4th gen on eBay. The hold switch is not working - the click wheel remains active and no lock icon appears in the upper right corner of the screen. It's on the latest firmware 1.04 and I've done a restore twice already.
The seller claims the hold switch did work before he sent it. Is there anything I can try to get it to work? It's out of warranty.
Thanks
David

Ipod 4th Gen Shuffle Feature Not Working...

I have a new Ipod Shuffle 4th Gen and I have a many playlists which appear to be working except for one. I have one playlist called "jogging" which the Ipod voiceover speaks when pressing the button. However, when I select it, the track will not play. This particular song/track is 1 hour and 3 mins and is a collage of songs. Is there some reason the shuffle will not play it? It's an M4A file and Itunes says it's synched with the shuffle. When you select that playlist, it starts playing a song in a different playlist like it doesn't exist.

ps. Other playlist selections give one beep. When I select the playlist with the 1 hour file, I get two beeps.

Scroll wheel not working in Community Help App (Windows 7 64bit)

I am using the Community Help App on both a Windows 7 32 bit machine and a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
On the 32 bit machine, the mousewheel scrolls the content pane just fine.
On my 64 bit machine, the mousewheel will not scroll the content pane. I have to use the scroll bar on the right (click and hold to scroll the content).
This appears to the be case for all Adobe Air apps, as this functionality is identical in Adobe Story.
I am using a Microsoft Wireless Mobile 4000 mouse on the Windows 7 machine.
Is anyone else having this problem on 64 bit Windows 7 machines?

I'm frustrated, too, because of the scroll wheel issue with any AIR applications.
Running Windows 7 Home Premium N 32 bit.
Using Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 (wired, not wireless) - current drivers.
Scroll wheel will not work when rolled normally, no matter what sensitivity I set the wheel to. To get any scrolling action, I have to roll the wheel as fast as I can. Then, it will scroll, but in horrible chunky bits, which ends up being wildly inaccurate and extremely frustrating.
I've heard of many other people having this issue. It's only when the program I'm using is an AIR application, which leads me to believe that Adobe did something to make AIR incompatible with a MS mouse & Win 7 OS. (I have used the same mouse running Vista and scrolled fine in an AIR application.)
Is Adobe going to correct this situation?

Left Side of scroll wheel not working! PLEASE HELP!!

I'm planning on buying another ipod sometime in the future, but if I cant get my current one fixed, I'm not going to get another one.

Mouse scroll wheel not working correctly.

Just installed Firefox 4 and my mouse scroll wheel is not working correctly. When opening the program, I can scroll as normal for about 5/10 minutes. Then, suddenly, the mouse scroll wheel no longer works. I've since found that it is actually scrolling outside of Firefox. E.g. I had Outlook open and it was scrolling through my Outlook even though Firefox was the open window. I checked this multiple times and it always seems to be the case.
Checked about:config as advised, everything looks correct on the mousewheel settings (i.e everything is set to default). Mouse drivers are up to date. No problems with any other programs. This issue started occurring in Firefox 4 beta. I switched back to 3.6 so I could continue scrolling. Updating to Firefox 4 caused the issue to recur.

It seems a lot of people are having problems with the Mighty Mouse's scroll ball. I actually thought I was done for after just a few weeks of using my first (wired) one. But here I am years later with my wireless variant, beeing perfectly happy with it (in case you don't know, the wireless Mighty Mouse is a much better option due to it's laser based tracking system). In my experience, getting rid of fluff that interferes with the ball is quite easy on both types. Try blowing really hard directly at the trackball (optionally while you press it down with some pointed device) a few times. Rotate it and repeat as needed. Alternatively roll the mouse upside down on the microfiber cloth that probably came with your Mac.
