Making the mouse and trackpad scrolling independant

Is there anyways to make them independant?

No. Scrolling is scrolling, whether done with a Mouse or the built in Trackpad.

  • Problems with clicking using the mouse and trackpad

    Mouse will move OK, but clicks do not register immediately and everything is highlighting when i move the cursor. I found that if i hold down the click for a second or so it seems to work as per normal except if there is a delayed action on a button. Has anyone come across this and do you have a solution? Thanks in Advance.

    Its a bit hard to explain exactly what happens. When i click on an object it seems that only the press is invoked and the release is not. Thats why when i click on somthing them move the mouse it starts highlighting, be it text in a browser window or icons on the desktop.
    I have noticed that if i press, wait for a couple of seconds and then release, the click works as it should. All other interaction such as the keyboard mouse movements and right click works fine.
    Also, this problem causes a double click to act like a single click, and a triple click act like a double click.
    This problem is driving me crazy...

  • My iMac mouse and trackpad will not scroll or swipe.  as far as I can tell, the settings are correct.

    I've had this Imac for a year and have had no problems until the mouse and trackpad both stopped scrolling a few weeks ago.  I'm guessing it is some setting that is causing this since both are not working but I'm about to toss this out the window cause Apple makes it nearly impossible to use the software without the ability to scroll and swipe.  I have checked the obvious settings.  Please Help!!

    how do you try to scroll ?
    some people are used to trackpads scrolling when they move their finger out in the right side or the likes
    with newer macs one scroll by placing 2 fingers beside eachother and moving them up and down

  • Can't I use my wireless mouse and trackpad in different ways when scrolling?

    Since I'm a Chinese user, I prefer describing my question in my mother language...I will translate it...
    在系统偏好设置里，倒是可以分别设置鼠标和触控板，但是当我打开触控板的“自然滚动”，同时取消鼠标的“滚动或导航时，使内容按手指方向移动”，之后，鼠标恢复原来的滚动 方式，郁闷的使触控板的滚动方式也跟着变化了⋯⋯
    但这时打开触控板的设置，“自然滚动”依然是选中的啊⋯⋯
    如果这时关闭“自然滚动”，再重新开启，鼠标设置界面的“滚动或导航时，使内容按手指方向移动”虽然是为选中的，但使用时滚动方向又变成反向了⋯⋯
    各位有遇到么⋯⋯我觉得是个BUG吧，期待修复⋯⋯

    Well, there is two setting items in system preference for "mouse" and "trackpad", and there do have the checkbox for "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" and for "Scroll direction: natural". I checked the "Natural Scroll"---- if I may call it this way ---- option and unchecked the same option in mouse setting wishing to use my mouse and trackpad in different ways...
    However, it turned out to be a confusing phenomenon like I can only use my mouse and trackpad in the way "Natural Scroll" or the way it used to be. If I double click the checkbox of "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" to refresh my settings, both my mouse and trackpad will turn into the way it used to be in scrolling while if I double click on the "Natural Scroll" checkbox, both of them will turn into the new way.
    At the same time, eventhrough the setting of my mouse has been changed by the changing of trackpad setting, the checkbox in "mouse" is still unchecked and that's where makes it seems like a BUG....
    So, is there anybody who meets the same problem? The reason I want to use this two device in different ways is I just don't like to use mouse in the new way, it's unconfortable for me.
    And, I use a new MacBook Air 11' and a wireless mouse called Rapoo 6900
    Here comes the link of my wireless mouse.

    jhawk,
    I can see the appeal of your desired setup, but is the limitation the inability to "Pair" the mouse/keyboard to more than one computer at a time? (Practically, that makes sense, you don't want to be blindly moving both cursors around at the same time, since you can only see one screen at a time)
    You CAN operate bluetooth devices on Windows without pairing-you just need to locate the device each time before using:
    http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2003/09/18/winxpunwired.html
    So maybe you can pair the Mac version, and just search out the device each time you switch over? (but then you would have to "unpair" it off the Mac too) Maybe you need to write two scripts for each platform: pair/unpair devices.
    Sounds like it would be easier to buy two wireless keyboards and mice :P
    What you really want is a utility like this:

    (its only Mac to Mac though, unfortunately)
    Good luck!

  • On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!

  • In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll.  Is there a way to adjust this?

    In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll.  Is there a way to adjust this?  This is the way I scrolled for MIDI editing on Logic 9

    Hi cris2121, assuming you're using a mouse from apple, go to >System Preferences<
    it's here where one can configure a mouse device.
    Additionally you can also configure Scrubbing in Logic: "When in scrub mode, you can slowly move the playhead in the Tracks Window and the Audio (and optional MIDI) will be played back. The playback speed depends on how fast you move the Playhead in either direction."
    Have a nice day!

  • Mouse and trackpad just not working - can't use machine

    Hi there,
    I have a late 2009 iMac running an up to date version of Mountain Lion and all has been well until today.
    My iMac behaving very oddly with my trackpad. I have tried switching it our for a wired mouse and I get the same results. This is what I am experiencing:
    The iMac behaves as though I have either:
    clicked and held my finger down - on my desktop when  I move the cursor around the iMac thinks I'm trying to select an area
    right clicked - when I try and click on an icon in the dock, the right click options appear
    Additionally I am experiencing the following
    iMac doesn't respond to me clicking on an icon
    I can't select an option, ie if I do select an option such as 'Continue' (more of that later*) I  can't get the iMac to respond to me clicking it
    Before switching over to my mouse I replaced the batteries in my BT keyboard and the trackpad. I've also tried attaching a USB keyboard (albeit a PC one)
    I have tried the following:
    resetting the V/P RAM
    booting in Safe Mode
    Shutting down, unplugging everything (inc power cord) and left for 10 mins before rebooting
    Booting in recovery mode and reinstalling M Lion - I can't even do this
    * When presented with the recovery options I can scroll through the 4 options with the up down arrow keys, I can select 'Continue' with the mouse or trackpad (it goes a solid blue colour) but I move forward - either by clicking it or hitting Enter on the keyboard.
    I'm now totally stuck as when I reboot (there's been a fair few forced ones) I can't even select my user profile (or any of the Resart/Shut Down options)
    Time to make a Genius Bar apppointment, or is there something else I can do?
    Thanks
    EDIT: I did manage to select my wife's user profile and eventually got into the system, and very strangley if I access the iMac via LogMeIn on my work PC it responds excatly as it should. I can click, select as normal. Even when I'm doing this remotely my trackpad and mouse continue to behave incorrectly (as described above

    Man.. I is such a fool sometimes.
    So I reinstalled ML - which on my cruddy 4 MB ADSL connection took a fair while. And still the problem was there.
    Then I tried one small thing... take the batteries out of the trackpad and then try using the wired mouse. BINGO.
    After a few more tests it has bceome clear that it was the trackpad that was at fault. Not my iMac, not my OS. Having it on would screw up what the wired mouse was trying to do. Should've checked that HOURS ago.
    I have a spare trackpad (I used to have a Mac from work and bought myself a trackpad for it. No longer have a Mac for work as a switched employers, but ironcially willbe getting one next week!). I have installed the 2nd trackpad and all works fine.
    Lesson learned - do more thorough diagnostics!
    I'm off to cancel my Genius Bar apppointment

  • Mighty Mouse and Trackpad on Macbook

    Hi,
    I was used to automatically disconnect my trackpad when my Mighty Mouse connects to the Macbook by BT. And for this there was a checkbox in preferences (under mouse option) that was able to do it.
    After upgrade to 10.6, this option was gone!!! Now I have both devices working at the same time: Mouse and Trackpad.
    Any ideas how to disconnect the Trackpad when and external mouse is detected in 10.6?!

    This is from the Help system:
    Making the trackpad inactive
    You can set the computer to ignore the trackpad while you’re typing or when you have a mouse connected. This option is available on some portable computers only.
    To make your trackpad inactive:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Trackpad.
    Open Trackpad preferences
    Select the “Ignore accidental trackpad input” checkbox to make the computer ignore the trackpad while you type.
    If you’re using a non-Apple mouse, the driver software that came with your mouse may prevent these options from working as expected. See the documentation that came with your mouse for more information.

  • Plugging in USB Mouse Changes Trackpad Scroll Speed

    I bought a Razer ProV 1.6 external USB Mouse to use with my MBP. It is a great mouse, I love it! After customizing my settings with the bundled software (which is change through Sys. Pref. in the "Other" section), I started using the mouse and the trackpad without any problems; everything was working the way I wanted it to. Later, after having taken my MBP with me to school, I plugged the mouse back in. But when I did that, it decreased the scroll speed on the trackpad to level 2 (it had been level 8). I am not sure what is causing this. I have checked and there are no updates available for the software that came with the mouse. Any ideas where the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks!

    Razer has finally released a new driver for the Pro Click 1.6 which has fixed the bug issues between the mouse and the trackpad. You can find it here:

  • Mouse and Trackpad

    Ever since upgrading to Lion my mouse and trackpad is scrolling wrong. To scroll down a page I must gesture up instead of down and gesture down to scroll up. Any way to change that?

    Open System Preferences > Trackpad and select the Scroll & Zoom tab. Now de-select the "Scroll direction: natural" checkbox.

  • Magic mouse and trackpad not working

    All of a sudden my magic mouse and trackpad stopped working.
    I tried everything, preferences, bluetooth config, but nothing works.
    Sometimes in the mouse prefpane, I get the message that the mouse is connected, then after a few seconds  it shows disconnected.
    In Bluetooth config I get the message that the mouse is connected but the wheel keeps spinning and then it says "connection failed. software configuration and bluetooth may be invalid or are not supported".
    Same for the trackpad.
    My second mac is also seen, and "connected ?" , but when I try to open the connection it fails also.
    System is lion 10.7.5. imac 3,6 Ghz corei5 from 2011.

    Found out myself how to solve the problem.
    Simply resetting the PRAM and everything was ok.
    Thanks anyway

  • Magic Mouse and Trackpad Become Randomly Eratic

    My setup:
    2011 Macbook Pro
    27" Thunderbolt Display
    Wireless Keyboard
    TrackPad
    Magic Mouse
    My Problem:
    about once every 2 or 3 days, my mouse and trackpad will become eratic (at the same time) Im unable to reliably control them and the cursor will move sparaticlty on the screen. Up to this point, my only option has been to restart. Once the system restarts, Im fine.  This has happened with with several apps open, and with no apps openend, and I have dropped into a terminal window to look at the process table ( ps -ef | more ) and I dont see a hung process or one that might be eating CPU or memory. All software and firmwares are up to date.
    Anyone got any ideas ???
    Bill

    I have the same problem on my 27" imac with Lion, but I have found that they only play up when the apple tv is being used in a seperate room. I have confirmed this strange occurance by turning the apple tv off, they work fine, then i turn the apple tv on, they are eratic once again. I am starting to think that it is a bluetooth syc issue, not sure..... I seem to be able to make or stop the eratic behaviour by the flick of a switch.

  • Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before

    help!  Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before ><
    In the past I was just able to go into the mouse control settings in control panel and reduce wheel scrolling to 1 page at a time.  Now i'm not able to scroll one album at a time anymore, even though my mouse control panel is still set to scroll at one page at a time.  Its skipping two albums ahead now and I can't pin point to the album I want now unless if I click on it.  I haven't used ituens in awhile so it must be something new on the last 2 updates, I don't see anything in the perference menu.
    thx

    I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

  • I have an iMAC from about 2007. The mouse will not scroll down. Can this be fixed?

    I have an iMAC from about 2007. The mouse will not scroll down. Can this be fixed?

    You have to remember, where the scroll ball is, there is a small gap which picks up dust and fluff.   That detritus gets everywhere and in your case affects the downward scroll.  
    Adding just a touch Linc Davis's suggestion, after you have vigorously rubbed the scroll ball on the pad, tap it on a hard surface from time to time.   Sometimes you will see small amounts of fluff appear.   You should also see dirty marks on the pad.

  • Making the mouse click by itself

    If you are trying to use an automator workflow with a software that is
    not included in the automator list (and therefore there are no prebuilt actions for you to choose), but all you need to do is manually open
    the program yourself, place the mouse over the START button in the software,
    and you just need automator to click the mouse at a predetermined time,
    is there a way of doing that....just making the mouse click over a spot you
    have left the mouse, at a predetermined time?
    I know how to save the workflow as an ical plug in to trigger the workflow at a specific the time, but I have no idea if I can just make automator "click the mouse" button by itself any place you just leave the mouse.
    Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
