Anyone had scrolling issues with standard MacPro mouse?

my mouse no longer scrolls down. i either drag the bar down, or use key. once down, i can use scroll-ball on mouse to scroll back up, the only direction that is functional. at one time, only an intermittent issue, but degraded to becoming unusable. any suggestions?

The 4 no microscopic magnetic rollers below the ball are covered in fluff and finger oils.
Even using the recommended cleaning method eventually fails to loosen the fluff because the ONLY way out of the mouse for this build up is by collecting back on the ball then out onto the paper.
Below the ball is a microswitch unit so the debris can not fall into the body space of the mouse.
Finally the bottom of the mouse has been glued shut preventing easy general maintenance.
If you are adventurous you can carry out some surgery to repair the mouse.
You need a scalpel, some super glue, a very small cross bladed screw driver, and a pair tweezers
Right turn the mouse up side down , with the scalpel carefully separate the OUTER grey bezel ring from the mouse top and set aside.
Now press the two side buttons and with your thumb press the front of the top mouse body away from you .
It should click free.
It still may be held by two hinge posts about 25mm/1" from the rear of the mouse so use the screw driver to leverage these free with a snap.
'The body will now be separated however you will now find that the two parts are connected by two ribbon cables.
These are just pressure fitted to the logic board but being careful you shouldn't dislodge them.
So twist the bottom plate through ninety degrees and you will see the microswitch held by three cross head screws.
Unscrew these and set aside.
Now you can finally clean those little magnets using the tweezers.
Now reassemble in reverse and finally using the super glue reattach the bezel.
Allow time to dry and finally plug in USB/Repair if bluetooth and test run what should now be a functioning mouse.

TS1702 Has anyone had any issues with the app scramble with friends after updating to iOS 6. The touch screen is not responding properly when selecting the tiles but worked fine before the update

Has anyone had an issue with the app scramble with friends after upgrading to iOS 6. Tapping the screen will not select the tiles and hold them.

Yes I am having the same problem. I can't find any info about it and nothing seems to help. I am just posting this in hope that if it's a wider problem, there will be a quick solution.

Has anyone had an issue with group addressing in OS X 10.9 Mail

Has anyone had an issue with group addresses in Mail after installing Mavericks? Both my MBP-15 and my Mac Pro stopped automatically filling in the addresses when I typed the name of the group that I have in Contacts, after updating to Mavericks. Prior to updating they worked just fine.

Hi,
I just found these work arounds.

The first is appropriate if you want to send as an undlisclosed resicpient. The second method shows all addresses.

Has anyone had an issue with FindText not scrolling in Acrobat X?

I wrote some code for Acrobat 8 using C# that used AcroAVDoc 's FindText method to search for a particular phrase so that I may find the page the text it was on and its location on the page so that I can insert an image at that location. This worked great, the FindText method returned true when it found the text, scrolled to the page it was on and selected the text. In Acrobat X, I can not reproduce this. It finds the text but does not scroll or select.
Has anyone had this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?
Below is the code snippet that worked in Acrobat 8:
try
                Acrobat.CAcroApp app = new AcroApp();
                Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc doc = new AcroAVDoc();
                object jso;
                app.Show();
                //Open For Searching
                if (doc.Open(PdfDocument, ""))
                    Thread.Sleep(AcrobatDelay); //WaitForAcrobatToLoad
                    bool found = doc.FindText(SearchTerm, 0, 0, 0);
                    if (found)
                        CAcroAVPageView pv = doc.GetAVPageView();
                        int PageNum = pv.GetPageNum();
                        CAcroPDDoc pdDoc = (CAcroPDDoc)doc.GetPDDoc();
                        jso = pdDoc.GetJSObject();
Thanks in advance for any help.

Has anyone had any issue with opening a new tab and the address bar not connecting to websites in 33.1.1?

I think ever since we moved to v33, I've been having an irritating issue that whenever I open a new tab that isn't connected to a website yet and try to enter a website address, it won't connect to ANY website. Doesn't matter if I hit Enter to try to make it go, doesn't matter if I click the right-pointing arrow button to make it go, doesn't work. I can go into a tab already connected to a website, type in a new website there and it'll create a new tab and take me to the new website, but not if I use new tab button.
Anyone else had this issue? Any fixes?

Sorry, that didn't help as I'm able to connect to websites, just not in a particular way.
For instance, I am able to type in and connect to websites IF the tab is already in use with a website (i.e. if I were to type "yahoo.com" in the address bar of this tab FF would open a new tab and take me to yahoo.com) but not when it is a completely new tab.

Has anyone had recent issues with iCloud mail and Outlook 2011?

Two days ago without warning when sending an e-mail from Outlook 2011 from a MacBook Pro running 10.8. (Have a .mac account), I had an error pop up, see below.
Tried entering the password but the same error popped up. Thought there might be an error with the keychain so verified and ran a repair. Still the error continued. I checked that the password was still working and logged into iCloud. I then launched Mac Mail and this worked fine and so also my iPhone / iPad etc. Nothing I did made it possible to send e-maills from my .mac account although I could receive them.
For the last couple of days I have been using my MacBook AIr for sending mails for the same account via Outlook 2011. This has been working fine all day until 25 mins ago when the same error message popped up on this Mac too. Went through the same set of tests and again Mac Mail works and so does the password.
Have tried to Google for a solution but can't find anything relevant. Could this be Microsoft trying to cause problems for Apple users, some rogue update, iCloud security certificate issue, or something more sinister. Any suggestions for a fix gratefully received, as currently I can't use Outlook 2011 on either Mac.

Hi guys!
I am also having big trouble syncing my iCloud acc. I am able to send email, but i cannot recieve any. I have tried almost everything. I have tried using p01, p02, p99 servers, without solving the problem. I have tryed typing "INBOX" and "/" in IMAP root, still not working. Have anyone got a solution?
I am using:
OS X 10.9.1
Outlook 2011 for mac v. 14.3.8
I really hope someone has got an answer!
Sorry the text in the screenshots are in danish. I hope you get the idea anyway.

Has anyone had an issue with the Last Software Update for Lion 10.7 causing a system to be non-bootable? As of 12 June 2012?

I recently did a Software Update of OSX 10.7.4 (on June 12, 2012). It was on an iMac 27" Mid 2010.
After the Update, the system froze on a grey screen, the update failing. The mouse was still active, but the system was otherwise frozen.
The keyboard Caps Lock light would not respond. After waiting 15 minutes, I did a Power-Off by holding down the power buttone.
Upon reboot, the system gave a "grey screen of death" with a lernel Panic, noting the following was on the screen.
panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff800064ba7b): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI'.\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1699.26.8/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:15 04
No safe mode.
Alt boot disk list woill not work.
Only Cmd-R to get to Revovery Boot.
I am currentluy restoring off Time Machine Backup taken earlier today.
Is this something other perople have come acress?
Would be interested to know...

Yes. Many are having this issue and it's from Apple's Thunderbolt Update which was released yesterday to support Apple's new Thunderbolt adaptors. Here is information on how to fix this issue: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57451440-263/thunderbolt-update-plaguing-ma cbook-pros-with-kernel-panics/

Has anyone had an issues with certain not being able to SMS certain numbers after upgrading to IOS6.1.3

I upgraded my software on iphone 4s on Tuesday and since then I can no longer send an SMS to my parents (how live in Spain and therefore its a Spanish mobile). The international dialing code is correct, and I am on a contract therefore no isssues with credit.
When i try to send the SMS it keep saying delivery failed. Been trying for 3 days. And also when my parents call me from there mobile numbers it now coming up as a blocked unknown caller rather than the contact name as it did pre-upgrate.
Would really appreciate if anyone has an ideas to fix this as hate being cut off from my familly.

Already done this and they haven't found any problems or made any changes. All the problems started following the upgrade to 6.1.3

Has anyone had this issue with CUPS-PDF after update to Yosemite?

It states the PDF is getting made but have looked and no file ever gets created. The printer Queue shows a file but it always pauses the queue and even after resume it does not create a PDF file

Hi, I have this issue too.
It looks like a sandbox issue : In the system log, I can read, just after trying to print something, with no file created (cups-pdf is intended to create a PDF file) :

Has anyone had a problem with a stuck mouse pointer?

The mouse pointer on my System recently started behaving oddly. The pointer works fine while the iMac boots. Once the boot is fully completed, the pointer is effectively stuck at the bottom of the display (before I launch any application). It is kinda like it is on a rubber band. If I move it quickly, it moves across the whole screen and then gets reset to the bottom of the display. If I move it slowly, it moves half an inch or less on screen and gets yanked back. If I boot into Safe Mode, the mouse pointer works normally. If I boot normally, but log into a different account, everything works fine. But for my primary account, the mouse pointer is messed up. I have run Norton and it finds no viruses or malware. I have run MacScan and it finds no malware.

Something must have worked - just got an E-mail from MacAce saying they've seen the problem and are arranging a refund.

Has anyone had any issues with the most recent update?

I just did the latest software update for my Apple TV, and now the little light is blinking fast, and the only picture on the screen is of the Apple TV with a white cable leading to the iTunes icon. Any ideas what's going on with my Apple TV? I tried unplugging it, but it didn't change a thing.. Any ideas or suggestions on the way ahead are much appreciated!
Thanks

The microUSB cables are fairly common... most portable electronics today use them for file transfer/charging.
If the user does not own one, they can be purchased from most retailers fairly inexpensively.

Has anyone had any issues with the sleep indicator light?

I have a 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz (Late 2009) and recently I have noticed some issues involving the sleep indicator light and my Mac sleeping.
I learned that the sleep indicator light is supposed to be on when you press the power button until the chime sounds and then its supposed to be recognized when the computer sleeps or when the lid is closed.
Lately, the sleep indicator light has not be working when the computer boots (it still chimes), when the computer shuts down or when the computer is sleeping. The computer still sleeps if you close the lid, but it acts up when you don't and use the Apple menu (Apple > Sleep), keyboard shortcuts (CmdOptionMedia Eject) or use the power button and select "Sleep". Usually when I use this method instead of closing the lid, the authentication login window appears and when I click "cancel", the computer sleeps.
But still the sleep indicator light does not appear any time. I'm wondering if I need to get my Mac serviced. I still have a 2-year Best Buy Geek Squad warranty on the MacBook Pro.
+It is weird that this is happening to me, cause my computer is only 1 year and 4 months old.+
Is there anything you know that would help fix this issue.
