External mouse scrolling not working

The scrolling function of my external mouse does not work when the MacBook Pro is not plugged in with its powercord. The mouse buttons seem to be functioning. So does as an external keyboard. My wife has the same problem (using 10.6.2 OS). There are no options in the System Preferences that deal with this. Is this just an oversight by Apple? This basically makes using an external keyboard and mouse a nonviable option for a laptop unless you are near an electric outlet. If you know of a workaround I would appreciate the information. If not, it is something Apple will have to correct as it a pretty obvious oversight.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Tony

Check your settings when it is unplugged to make sure they are still properly configured. You might even want to try and disable the trackpad when a mouse is being used. I would also check out USB Overdrive (Shareware).

Mouse Scroll Not Working in oracle forms

Hi,
I Created a master and detail block.. In Detail block following Properties i set
No. of Records to be displayed : 10
Scroll bar : no
Without having the scroll bar i wannt to check all the records in the detail Block.
for this i created key_scrolldown trigger in form levl called thye builtin
SCROLL_DOWN;
i'm using Oracle 10g.. JIniator for Running Oracle Forms
applying this Coding this function is not working..
Can anybody tell this How to oversome from this...???
Cheers.

What version of Oracle Forms are you using? You should always include this in your posts. :)
Mouse scrolling is only enabled in Web runtime of Forms - so you must be using Forms 9i or higher.
Does JRE Support mouse scrolling function?If memory serves, Mouse scroll was first introduced in Java 1.5.0. Therefore, if you want enble the mouse scroll wheel in Forms, you must be using JRE 1.5.0 or higher. I strongly recommend you use Java 1.6.0_33 or higher - but do not use Java 1.7.0 as it has not been certified with Oracle Forms yet.
In order to use the JRE over the Jinitiator, you must modify your configuration to enable use of the JRE. Please take a look at Oracle 10gR2 Forms Services – Using Sun's Java Plug-in. This Oracle White Paper is for Forms 10g Release 2, but the instructions are basically the same for 9i and 11g as well.
Hope this helps,

Magic Mouse scroll not working.

Has anyone found a solution to the Magic Mouse, not scrolling all of the time after the latest OSX update (10.9). Tried forgetting the mouse and then reactivating it. No luck.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot insafe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Sound and mouse scrolling not working in windows 8

I installed windows 8 on my Imac (late 2011). I have managed to solve most of the compatability issues but the three I have left are No Sound (I really need this), scroll wheels dont work on any mouse (nor does the touch functions of the magic mouse), and the facetime camera doesn't work. If you could help me solve any of these issues it would be excellent. Also yes I am aware that apple will eventually release drivers for windows 8 but I need it now, so don't tell me to wait. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Wait. Or, remove Windows 8 and install Windows 7. Or, install Windows 8 using Parallels or Fusion rather than using Bootcamp Assistant.

Mouse scroll not working

For the last three days my mouse will only scroll up on a page. If I have to scroll down nothing works; I have to use the scroll bar on the pages. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? I have made sure the mouse has been cleaned as is the pad that it works on. This happened after my last software updates.
Thank you for any info you can provide!

This sounds like the scroll ball on a Mighty Mouse has debris between the ball and rollers.
Here's an Apple video on how to clean:

Touchpad mouse scroll not working in newer versions of Firefox

Firefox doesn't seem to like to play nice with touchpad mice on laptops when it comes to scrolling. I am running Windows 7 on an HP G60-535DX with FF 6. I noticed the scroll issue when I bought this computer and was using FF 5 but it seems the problem started with FF 4. I have searched for fixes for this and tried everything that looked promising. I uninstalled my mouse drivers and re-installed them. Everything is up to date. I don't know what else to do. I am in love with the new tab group feature and I don't want to have to switch to Google Chrome.... Help?

Does Firefox use another font instead?
If this is the case then which font?
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.
*fontinfo: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fontinfo/

While opening a pdf file in new tab, the rest tab's mouse scroll not works until closing the pdf file tab

I have noticed this problem in ff5 too. Suggest me is it a bug my machine or it came with it. If this issue is real i can provide more detail how often/ on what stages it happens.

There's a Bug filed about that issue.

Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
any ideas?

Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based. Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

Mouse is not working properly on a one month old HP Pavillion 15-NO28US

I'm sure it's already been talked about on here, but I haven't found a successful fix or the same exact problem as I'm having. I went thru the latest Windows 8.1 update recently (at least I think it was the update) and when I restarted my computer yesterday the mouse was not working properly. Like a lot of other people who are complaining about it, the two-finger scrolling and other similar features are not working, but what really bothers me is the the mouse is almost acting like it was changed to a left handed mouse. I've checked the settings and it is still set on right-handed, but when I click the left mouse button the small window opens up next to where I clicked, which has the copy, delete and paste options (and other regular options) in it. When I click the right mouse button, nothing happens. Double tapping on the touchpad doesn't do anything either. I downloaded and install the latest synaptic drivers and nothing happened. I even performed a system recovery last night to reset all setting and it's still not working. This really sucks because I've only had this computer for about a month and I've already lost everything I've put on it...most importantly all of my school work and music apps. Is there anything to fix this or can anyone tell me what's going on with this stuff, before I have to call into HP and have a melt down?

Hi Kevin3047,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you!!
I understand that after updating from Windows 8 to 8.1 your mouse is not performing correctly. You have tried the built in troubleshooter but to no avail.
You checked the settings and they appear ok, but when you click the left mouse button the small window opens up next to where you clicked, which has the copy, delete and paste options (and other regular options) in it. When you click the right mouse button, nothing happens. Double tapping on the touchpad doesn't do anything either. I grasp that you did a recovery but it did not help. You also stated you lost your data once, and that in itself is extremely aggravating, I agree.
Here is a step that may help.
Go to the Command Prompt and right click on it to run as Administrator
type sfc /scannow and press enter. This will scan for corrupted files and try to repair them.
Here are links to two documents that may aid with this process.
Troubleshooting Mouse Problems (Windows 8)
Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
Would you also please try a clean boot to see if it persists. Here is a Windows document to assist you.
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
If none of this has alleviated the issue, I suggest you do a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
If the issue still pesists, I would do a recovery again. You will be prompted during the recovery to backup your personal files to prevent data loss. I would suggest you choose yes, to prevent data loss.
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8)
This will take it back to factory. Here is a document on Updating Windows 8 to 8.1 to assist you with doing the update again.
If you are still experiencing the issue, as @visruth stated I would contact HP support for assistance. They are able to remotely log onto your system to help with this difficulty.
Please call HP technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region HP Technical Support Sitemap.

APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

USB mouse does not work

hi All
I bought a new HP laptop few days ago,when I installed Win7 pro on it after a few minutes, the usb mouse stopped working. Its light still lights up ,but the cursor does not react. The drivers of the device are installed and working properly. the mouse will
not work until I click "scan for hardware changes"in Device Management . but when I restart the computer, it happend again . but win7 home edition seems does not have this problem. please help. thanks

Hi,
I suggest updating the latest BIOS and chipset from HP site, then reinstalling USB controllers to check the result. If any USB hub is used, please bypass it.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2010/11/23/error-message-one-of-the-usb-device-attached-to-this-computer-has-malfunctioned-and-windows-does-not-recognise-it.aspx
Also, please perform
clean boot, disable your antivirus and firewall
temporarily to avoid any blocking. If the issue persists in clean boot, test the issue in Safe Mode and Device Clean boot.
Device Clean Boot
1. Go to Device Manager
2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers".
3. Right Click on Audio device and choose disable.
4. Please use the same method to disable other dubious hardware such as: internal modem, and CD-R drive. Please note some devices such as video adapter are not available
to be disabled.
5. After that, restart the computer and then test the issue. If it does not occur, you can enable the device one by one to narrow down this issue.
After you found the device that causing the problem, you can resolve by installing last driver or replacing the device.
Best Regards,
Niki
