Hi lindseyclarissa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Please read over and use the attached article as a reference on how to adjust the mouse tracking and scrolling speeds.
Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Adjust Tension, Tracking, and Double-Click Speed

3. Adjust the tracking speed or double-click speed to a level that's comfortable for you.
Have a great day,
Joe

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?
Well
I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem. Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol. Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too. -
The mouse that came with my imac does not work very well in a window virtual machine
I finally got Windows 7 on my iMac and am using FusionVM. I installed one of my favorite games and the mouse goes soooooo slow I cannot use the game. Any suggestions? I am using the mouse that came with the iMac, magic mouse(??).
I have already tried that. The mouse speed on the iMac is good. The mouse speed in other Windows7 programs is good. The problem arose when I tried to play Zuma's Revenge using Windows7. This is the first game I have loaded since setting up the virtual machine.

My corded optical mouse (model A 1152),which came with my desktop iMac, stops working periodically. The little tracball may work scrolling down a page, but not up, sometimes, and I have yet to figure out how to fix it, or why it happens at all. Is there someone who has had that problem, and what did you do?
Hello:
Turn the mouse upside down and run it (vigorously) over a piece of paper. Better yet, run it over a microfiber cloth.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit -
I have Acrobat Standard 9 that came with Premier Element
I have Acrobat Standard 9 that came with the Premier Elements and Photo Suite 9 when I purchased my machine and now when I open the program it says I don't access and that the license stopped working. Says to uninstall and reinstall the program. Is there a license patch or link to update the license or does this mean I have to purchase a license to continue using?
You have posted in the correct place. (And everybody is confused about the new forum layout.)
If you have difficulties to run Acrobat and Adobe Reader on the same computer, uninstall Adobe Reader, then install it under Windows Virtual PC. -
What is this thing that came with my iMac?
I just got a new iMac (quad core, i5). There is a curious object in the packaging that I don't know what it is, and it isn't discussed in the instructions. It's a thin piece of black felt-like material, square shaped, with the 4 corners folded inward. I have no idea what this thing does, or what I should do with it. What is it? It's way too thin to be a mousepad, I think.
Check out Chapter 5 page #67 of the User's Guide that came with your iMac.

{quote:}*Cleaning Your iMac Display*
Use the cloth that came with your iMac to clean the display.
*To clean your iMac display, do the following:*
● Shut down your iMac and disconnect all cables.
● Dampen the cloth that came with your iMac—or another clean, soft, lint-free cloth—
with water only, and then wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.{quote} -
my iphon 5 said "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. please insert the sim card that came with ur phone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement sim card" what do i do??? i leave in diferent country now!!!???(((
in many countries to make phones seem less expensive
carriers pay most of the phones price for the customer
but this come at the cost of the phone only being able to work
with the carrier this is called a sim lock
the only people who can remove a sim lock is the carrier which
the phone is sim locked to they been doing it like that for at least 20 years -

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

I'm trying to sync a 4s so that it can be activated w ATT...my computer says that I need to have 11.1 or higher in order to do that but when I download from the itunes site nothing happens and I still can't sync phone...what am I doing wrong?
The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
If it is, here's further troubleshooting:

What should i do with my ipad because it fell down and the screen cracked but its still functioning
what should i do with my ipad because it fell down and the screen cracked but its still functioning
Up to you whether you want to get it serviced. If you don't, I'd suggest putting on a screen protector to help hold the screen together and try to prevent further damage. It's likely that it will eventually fail at some point, but you could get lucky and have it continue to work for quite some time.
If you decide you want to get it serviced, Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, see the Service Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair". You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.

Hi. I am having issues with copying files to my shared WB 2TB HDD connected to my airport extreme. Comes up with error 50. I am using a Macbook Pro to copy from so not sure what I am doing wrong. Can someone help? thanks Rory

I've encountered this error myself upon occasion. If I remember correctly, it was a permissions/ownership issue with the some of the files I was copying. -
When synching, itcomes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong? This happens every time so I click them and it sorts them (boring with 200 odd). How can I prevent this?
Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.
