My mouse will not scroll UP. I've cleaned it several times, as per instructions, and all other functions are fine. Can this be fixed or do I have to get another mouse?

The you tube demo on how to dismantle the mouse lacked a few details, but it got the job done. Very tricky getting everything back together, but it worked! Amazing how much trouble a little bit of lint can cause. Thanks for the advice. My advice: be sure you have a well lit, soft non-slip surface and a source of magnification.

Wireless Mighty Mouse has stopped selecting, cutting or pasting

My batteries ran out two days ago. I changed the batteries but since then my wireless Mighty Mouse will not select text, cut or paste. It has other erratic behavior. Any help and advice welcomed.

Sending back to Apple. Free refund.

My mouse has stopped scrolling within my email only.

My mouse is refusing to scroll through my emails accounts. Fine everywhere else - it works as its supposed to - but it will not scroll down (or up) my mail. Any easy solutions??

I have the same issue as Barbara.
It was working 3 days ago, I've been away and now it doesn't scroll through my emails.
It's working with web pages and everything else.
Help, thinning hair, getting thinner!

My mouse was scrolling 'normally' and has stopped scrolling down. Any suggestions?

My mouse was scrolling down 'normally' but has stopped scrolling down, forcing me to use the less convenient drag-down bar at the right hand side of the screen. It continues to scroll up. 'Settings' doesn't seem to offer a 'restore' scroll down. Any suggestions?

Mighty Mouse will not scroll up!

I didn't know where to post this but since this is the most popular place for the mighty mouse, I decided to post here.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get the little scroll ball to scroll up?
It stopped working last night.
It will scroll down but not up.
Any suggestions!!!!
Thanks,
Sam

Mine has stopped scrolling down - - again.
I first thought it was a mechanical thing - dirt or something in the mechanism.
Once, though, a reboot got it working.
Now it only scrolls up, not down.
Even when it was working, the scroll up was smooth, but the scroll down was jerky and uneven.
If it continues, I will return it for a replacement.
This seems to be one Apple's flops.

Mighty Mouse Has NOTHING Mighty

Am I the only crazy one to think that either OS X or more likely Mighty Mouse is a drag...
Right clicking with the index finger raised is one thing that one can get use to but it is more or less random whether OSX/Mighty Mouse understands that one have actually right clicked. Plugging in a logitec mouse takes care of the problem and right click remains a right click instead of a fifty fifty percent chance of getting the right click...
I have 3 Mighty mice and they all show the same problem...
My only question to Apple should they read this is:
HOW HARD, on a scale from 1-2, can it be to NOT publish a hardware that SIMPLY does not work reliably...
This is bad advertisement for your coming Iphone

To ensure a right-click, I now click pretty close to the right edge of the mouse. Otherwise, the mouse often misinterprets it as a click.
If the Mighty Mouse hadn't come in the box with my Mac Pro, I would not have bought it at all. Cheaper traditional mice work much better. The one innovation the Mighty Mouse has going for it is the scroll ball, but even then, Apple has pulled us back 10 years to where we used to have to clean the mouse ball or it would skip or stop working.
The Mighty Mouse is one of those Apple products that causes the more religious and less reasonable Mac users to constantly apologize for and rationalize the Mighty Mouse's irrational behaviors. If the Mighty Mouse was a Microsoft product, the Mac religious would have slammed the design decisions as "typical Microsoft incompetence."

Mighty Mouse Won't Scroll Down - Solution

My iMac's mighty mouse wouldn't scroll down even after furious cleaning with a damp cloth and all that this discussion site advised.
I took the mouse into the new Cabot Circus Apple Store here in Bristol, UK. Five minutes later I was out again with a fully restored mighty mouse scroll ball.
The 'genius' used a isopropyl alcohol Prep Pad, as used by your doctor to sterile your arm before using a hypodermic needle. You can probably buy these down your local Chemists/Pharmacy. He gave me a strip of these sachets marked "Medium - Alcohol Prep Pad" manufactured by Dynarex Corporation. They seem to be selling for about £1.25 for 200. Cheap as chips even in this day and age.
http://www.quickmedical.com/dynarex/disposable-wipes/alcohol-wipes.html
He then advised me to clean my mouse this way once a week to keep it in tip-top condition.
I'm sure I read somewhere that one wasn't supposed to use anything other than a damp cloth on these devices. Oh well, there you go.
Hope this helps anyone else who have found their mouse tracker ball has stopped working.

I think you have missed the point.
Try asking yourself, what would you do if rubbing your mouse on paper was no longer enough? That's the situation I was in.

My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down - only up and sideways.

My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down; only up and sideways. It could be a hardware problem and I guess I should go and by a new mouse but before I do I thought I'd check whether there was any parameter I could change to fix or test this. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers.

Mighty Mouse won't scroll

None of the answers to this topic solved my problem. All of a sudden my bluetooth mighty mouse won't scroll. I can set it to 360 degrees and it will scroll horizontally. But it won't scroll horizontally or vertically if I set it to both. Help!

Have you tried resetting bluetooth?
I have been having the same problem since nearly as long as I've had my mighty mouse, and cleaning it never solved the problem.
I just called apple and got them to send me out a new one, but before they did they told me to do this.
Turn off your Mac, removed the power and battery and hold down the power button for 5 seconds. Then turn it back on, but while you turn it back on hold down the altcmnd+RP buttons together. You will hear it ching two times as it turns on, let go after the second ching. This apparently resets the bluetooth and it fixed my mouse, it now works perfectly.
I'd recommend taking the advise of an apple technical advisor first before trying this, I have a MacBook from last year and that's what i did.

HT2845 why doesn't my mighty mouse track ball scroll up or down vertically?

why doesn't my mighty mouse track ball scroll up or down vertically?

Hi:
New ones are not that expensive, but I would try running it up and down (vigorously) on microfiber cloth or a towel or something.
If that does not fix it...yes I would buy a new one. I like wireless ones anyway

Wireless Mighty Mouse - No Horizontal Scroll

PB G4 10.4.6
Brand new Wireless Mighty Mouse.
Vertical Scroll - ok
Zoom -ok
Will not scroll Horizontally - and have no idea of what 360 is

To achieve horizontal scrolling you have to select the 360 Degree option. With this option, the mighty mouse driver activates the x-axis sensor inside the mouse. With both x- and y-axis sensors working, the scroll ball operates like your typical analog ball mouse of yore--only it's upside-down. Personally, I think the System Preference option should read "2π Radians."

I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding." I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

Unlikely. Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

Is my airport broken? My wireless has stopped all of a sudden! No solution works!

hi, I need help please. After working fine for years my wireless connection on my desktop which is on snow leoperd 10.6.8 has stopped connecting all of a sudden. It works fine on my macbook pro and my iphone. When I turn it on I get none of your preffered networks available, I find my network and when I type in the password for my network I get connection timeout. In diagnostics I have.....
Airport failed
Airport settings failed
Network setting failed
It has connected a couple of times randomly but goes off when I try to load a page,
I have tried loads of solutions from forums like....
deleting networks and creating a new one
changing channels and even tried deleting the system preference files from the library but still no joy.
I just want to ask for any other solutions before I have to take it 50 miles to the nearest 'genius centre' to get it looked at.
Could my airport be broken?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Firerfox has stopped opening new windows when I ask it to; why is this and what can be done to regain this option?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== not sure - about 2 weeks ago maybe. I recently upgraded to vn 3.6.8

This is a workstation first off, right? 60 lbs or so?:
And you have 10.7.2, if not why not?
Quad core 2.8GHz? 3 x 2GB RAM or more?
Consider new Mac Pro comes with 1TB drive 50% is actually a lot. Most users off load non system stuff to one of the other 4 hard drive bays.
As for youtube I do read and saw threads when Lion came out. Lion does not support Rosetta aka PPC/PowerPC code of any kind, plug-ins, drivers and software all. Check into Lion Community?
