Logitech mouse wheel stopped working

Hello,
I had this mouse for a long time. It's a Logitech Cordless Optical mouse connected to a Linksys KVM (I share with 4 different computers). Last week the mouse scroll wheel stooped working. I tried another Logitech mouse (G9) to directly to the USB of my Mac and the mouse wheel scrolls fine.
Now the problem's the old mouse wheel works fine on my other computers. I tried turning the KVM off, resetting the IR unit, and of course rebooting my mac. Nothing worked. The odd thing is, if I connect the old mouse directly to the Mac, it works OK.
I really hate the G9. I'd rather stick with my current mouse, but I need the scroll wheel. Any ideas?

Your profile lists one of the computers as "Hackintosh." Because OS X is licensed for use only with Apple branded computers & the Discussions Terms of Use prohibit discussing illegal uses of software, & equally importantly because we have no idea of how running a hacked version of OS X on non-Apple hardware might be a part of your problem, we cannot help you.
Sorry.

Mouse wheel stop working after upgrade

Hi. After upgrading my Leopard to 10.5.8 the mouse wheel stop scrolling window content, like web pages. I'd open the mouse control panel and there is a zooming feauture. It's working like this: moving wheel back makes a fast zoom, and moving ahead makes a slow zoom. Both directions make more zoom (slow and fast) and there is no going back but deactivating before desktop reach my nose.
So I beleive the system is getting wrong the resources of my mouse. Where can I setup this?
Oh, it's a Microsoft Wireless mouse.

Yes! I'd install the software pack of the mouse for Mac OS X that adds a control panel at Sistem Preferences and I take control - and the wheel came back!
But it's not easy finding it in Microsoft.com (in my case: .br). You got to start by hardware products and follow support links, system, etc..
Thank you for the tip!

Mouse Wheel stopped working [SOLVED]

Hi,
The wheel of my mouse stopped working in either KDE4 or E17 two days ago. I have searched the forums but not found a fix. It appears to be a problem with X. I have tried various changes to my xorg.conf to no avail. In XEV, the left-most button shows as button 1, the rightmost button as button 3. When I press the wheel it shows as button 2 but when I roll the wheel it does nothing. The mouse is one of the early logitech wheel mice. Nothing fancy. Here is the relevant portion of my xorg.conf;
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
I have also tried ZAxismapping with "4 5 6 7" and "Device" "/dev/psaux" and that doesn't work either.
Any ideas??? I hadn't realized just how much one uses the wheel!

I found a post on a Suse forum and changed the ExpolrerPS/2 to all lowercase, rebooted the machine and it works now. Weird or what???
Thanks,

My mouse wheel stops working after a few minutes every time I load Firefox. I've searched through various fixes, but none of them have worked for me. Help!

I have a Lenovo desktop and mouse. I haven't had this problem with any other program.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
'''Linux:'''
* [http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/see_all_your_installed_applications_ubuntu_unity Ubuntu Unity]''' {web link}
* Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
* options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

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 Clicking Stops Working

Hi everyone,
Suddenly, for no discernible reason, mouse-clicking stops working. The cursor moves around on the screen, but clicking produces no results. This has happened multiple times [in Safari 3.0.4, iCal 3.0, iTunes 7.4.2; Photoshop CS2 (v 9.0.2)]. Restarting is the only solution I've found.
I use a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo. Thinking the Logitech driver might be the culprit, I swapped in the original keyboard and mouse that came with the computer. Same results: at times, clicking the cursor does nothing.
Any ideas?

I experienced this issue as well.
The only patch I am aware of is the following:
- Press the OPTION key, 5 times in a row (this will trigger an option in the Universal Access pane of the System Preferences that allows you to use your keyboard as a mouse). You'll hear a sound warning.
- Press the OPTION key, 5 times in a row AGAIN to revert to the previous status.
Your mouse should now be able to click again.

Why does the scroll wheel stop working since version 3.6

Ever since the installation of version 4.0 there has been an issue with the scroll wheel not working properly. For the most part it works but occasionally the wheel stops working and no longer scrolls the pages up and down. At this point I need to close out the browser and reopen.

Thanks for the reply, I have checked my driver and shows it is up to date. I manually updated the driver again but as it was unzipping the files all the existing files were being replaced with files with the same build date so I'm pretty sure the mouse driver is up to date.
Is IE Tab an addon for firefox? If so then I don't have it installed.

Mouse Clicks stop working randomly

So far I have noticed several times on my Quad Core 27 inch imac that the mouse clicks stop working. This is with two different mice, plugged in together, so I know it's not mouse or driver related. It happens to both of them whenever it does happen.
The only correlation I can make is that it usually happens when I am on a website. I might even have noticed a correlation with "flash based" modules and components on websites, but this could be speculation at this point.
Apple, I love you, but having to hard restart my $2000 computer because the mouse is inoperable is unacceptable. Figure this out. There is no excuse for this. PC's don't do this. I've never had a computer do this in my entire life and words cannot describe how frustrating it is, especially when you are in the middle of trying to get some work done...

Try hitting the escape key on the keyboard (ESC). I've noticed that some property sheets, dialogs, and context menus can get 'lost' if you change focus to another program intentionally or accidentally, or if an application 'steals focus' (fairly rare in OS X). You may have to Command + Tab between applications to find where things are 'hung up'. Flash seems especially bad about hanging after a right click tries to call up a context menu.

My magic mouse just stopped working

My magic mouse just stopped working. I have rebooted the iMac and changed the batteries. Nothing is fixing it. What do I do next? When I turn the mouse on the green light on the bottom stays on for a few seconds and then flashes twice, pause and repeat.
On a side note. I just brought home a MBP about an hour before the issue. I turned bluetooth off on the MBP but could it be the problem? It was working fine with both machines on for about an hour.

OK somehow after a couple restarts it fixed itself. ANy idea on why it did that?
Thanx for any help

TS3048 My wireless mouse has stopped working after I recharged the batteries,the green light does not come on. I swapped the batteries from the mouse to my wireless keyboard and they work fine in the keyboard.

Why has my magic mouse suddenly stopped working? I'm using 10.6.8

We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

Touch Wheel stopped working.

I have a nano. My touch wheel stopped working. I can't scroll with it and I can't click with it either. The nano turns on and it does charge, but the wheel won't let me do anything. Anyone else ever experience this?

This didn't work. I tried it. I actually have already tried the 5 r's. I should have prefaced that the nano is 1 year old almost to the day. The touch wheel still doesn't work and I'm wondering if there is a loose wire. Do you know how much it costs to get the touch wheel fixed by any chance?

Logitech G400 mouse wheel only works in one direction

Hi All,
I just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina 15" version and I plugged my almost new Logitech G400 into it and I notice that the scroll wheel on the mouse only seems to work in one direction. I've installed the logitech gaming drivers, but there aren't arent scrolling options in there, so I suspect that it's Mac OS that's to blame here.
By default it was only allowing me to scroll to the top of the page by scrolling the wheel down. I've since reversed this, so that when I scroll down, I move down the page - the problem being if I scroll to far I then have to use the trackpad. As stated, I have tested the mouse as working in a Windows 7 machine, so I suspect this is a problem caused by the OS.
Has anyone experienced this issue and if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks,
Craig

Doing what they did in the video is fine - up to a point. After a while however the clogging gets so bad the method shown won't work anymore. Dampening the cloth helps somewhat, but not for long.
Mine finally got in this condition so I took it to my local Apple Store. The Genius there cleaned it with a surgical swab (the type the nurse wipes your arm with when about to stick a hypodermic needle in it). Did a good job too. The Genius had a supply of about 200 with him and let me have a few.
I have found that this is the only lasting way to clean the roller. But it doesn't stay clean forever of course and also I eventually ran out of the gratis swabs.
Since I ran out of these swabs my mouse has gummed up all over again. In fact it has been like this for so long now that I have abandoned it in favour of the Magic Mouse. I only use it now when booted into Safe Mode or from a Boot CD as the Magic Mouse doesn't work in these situations.
Yes, I know the Magic Mouse is a tad more expensive than a box of surgical swabs, but have you tried going into your local Chemists and asking for these surgical swabs lately?. The idiots won't sell you any because they assume that you are a junky and only want them for injecting yourself! I kid you not.

SWF in iFrame - How to get mouse wheel to work

I have been searching for a solution to this for a few days
without any luck. I was hoping someone here may have come across
this problem and know of a solution, or know if it just is not
possible.
I have a static page which consists of an iframe, picture and
a div with some links. The image is an image map and set to load
all links within the iframe. The flash itself is a 360 degree
panoramic view with hotspots (links) within the file that also
point to other pages. My issue is that the mouse wheel scroll is
supposed to be a zoom in/out feature, which work with the flash
file and full screen view. However, when the file is loaded within
the iframe, the scroll wheel on the mouse will only scroll the page
and will not interact with the flash file at all.
The problem seems to be with the following browsers (PC):
Chrome 0.4
Opera 9.5
Firefox 3.0
The zoom works in IE6, although the page does scroll with it.
When I disabled the page from scrolling (see index2.html) the zoom
stops working. This is probably due to the code used to disable the
mouse. I really need to try to get the mouse wheel to zoom in
FireFox 3 though. The large majority of our visitors are PC users
with FireFox 3 or IE 7, so these are the two most important
browsers to have working.
The pages are still currently under development but examples
are online here:
http://www.utoledo.edu/campus/virtualtour/maincampus/index.html
-Normal page
http://www.utoledo.edu/campus/virtualtour/maincampus/index2.html
-Page with scrolling disabled
Does anyone have any ideas for a possible solution? Thanks
for taking the time to help.

As far as I know,there is no facility for detecting mouse scrolling wheel in JDK 1.3.
Check it in the later releases of JDK.

Application Specific Buttons on my Logitech mouse do now works on Photoshop CC 2014

Hi there,
Just updated to Photoshop CC 2014.
I have Logitech MX 1100 mouse with some nice additional buttons that I used in previous versions of photoshop. I adjusted these buttons in SetPoint.
After I updated to PS CC 2014 the buttons just stopped working. They worked just a 5 mins ago when I was using Photoshop CC. (I use Latest Photoshop version, Latest Windows 8.1 version, Have Wacom tablet - latest drivers)
Buttons also do not work in illustrator CC 2014, but surprisingly works on inDesign CC 2014.
(Mapped functions on same buttons but on different applications, buttons worked good.)
I used to use these buttons and I'm very frustrated I cannot. Please help.
Thanks!
SK

Thanks for your reply, Chris Cox. I've checked the Windows System Event Log and here are the details:
Details (Tab) of same error (Photoshop)
I noticed since Jan 5, 2015, Photoshop has crashed a lot. I run Adobe Illustrator with it but it doesn't give the same errors. Other applications run fine too, so I'm not sure if it as you mentioned that it is the "system" that is crashing so often.
(You seem to have suggested a video card upgrade. I will work on that next. Thanks)
I hope you or anyone who can, help me with this problem with Photoshop and the issue with my account in Creative Cloud.
Looking forward to your help. Thank you.
