Mighty Mouse scroll ball problems

I wondered if anyone could help me with a scrolling issue with the mighty mouse. Some days scrolling works vertically up and down and other times just one direction. I dont believe it is due to dirt in the mouse - it seems software related and is sporadic in its operation. Any advise you could give would be welcome
Thanks
Nick

DP, that is what worked best for me in the past.
After months of problems with the scrolling ball, and after trying all the suggestions found on the web, this method of using a white sheet of paper was an excellent one: my MM was again clean and working as if it was new!
However, be careful about it: don't push too much when running the MM upside down. Eventually, yes, the gunk will come out, but the ball would go down-inside the case if pressed too hard for too long. It happened to me when using this method for a second time, and I was in the need to disassemble the device in order to correct this, and I think that's exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place.
Hope it helps.

Mighty Mouse scroll ball problem

I have had this Mighty Mouse for about a year and a half and the only problem has been the scroll ball. Every once in a while it won't scroll down. I was told to hold it upside down and rub the ball good with a wool cloth. Basically every time it did the trick. Now it won't scroll down anymore (it scrolls everywhere else though). Is there something broken inside? Is there anyway to take it apart? Not being able to scroll down is quite annoying and I'd love to be able to do it again.
Scrolling down, the ball moves but doesn't make the little clicking like sound like it does in any other direction. Any advice?

Hi. Sometimes using a clear spirit such as denatured alcohol (or vodka...) instead of the water suggested here

helps - but I've had one that wouldn't be fixed, and was replaced. Good Luck.

Another Mighty Mouse Scroll-Ball Problem

Hi,
I bought my bluetooth mighty mouse around October of last year, and ever since I've had it the scroll ball will get choppy and then stop working.
I use a cloth to scrub the ball so it'll at least move, and that seemed to work okay.
But today, I scrubbed the mouse and it made the ball get pushed down into the mouse.
It'll still scroll, but I can't middle click. Plus, there's room all around the ball for more dirt to get in.
What should I do?

Do I just call AppleCare to fix this (like I would if I had a problem with my iMac)?
I'm not familiar with Apple's warranty stuff when it comes to keyboards, mice, and other non-computer hardware.
Thank you

Mighty Mouse causing keyboard problems?

I just recently bought a wireless Mighty Mouse, and, after having installed it, all of my F buttons (dim screen, brighten screen, expose, dashboard, etc.) on my MacBook's keyboard are incorrect. My forward one track button is now the expose, and my volume up button is the dashboard. Aside from those and one or two others, the rest don't even do anything when pressed. I tried going to my keyboard/mouse preferences and restoring everything to it's default setting, but that did nothing. I also tried moving said F keys back to their original settings/keys, which I did succeed in, partially, but my volume up, volume down, mute, track forward, pause/play, track backward, keyboard brighten, keyboard dim, screen brighten, and screen dim keys still do nothing.
You could probably guess that this is extremely annoying, so, all answers are greatly appreciated.

Mighty Mouse - Static Electricity Problems

I know that others have posted about the MM twitching out due to electrical interference. I am experiencing the same problem in two rooms in my house on both my iMacs. Without even touching the mouse the side buttons "fire" the problem goes away when you touch the aluminum base. I have checked my ground in both locations with a meter it is perfect. I recently moved to a new house, the computers work on carpet, but not on ceramic or laminate floor. They worked at my old place on laminate floor with the exact same desk setup. I have not added or taken away any electronics on the desk (lights, hubs...etc.) All the other posts have no conclusion. I am looking for an answer, I cannot keep my computers in my dining room (carpet). I have offices in certain rooms for a reason, functionality of a mouse should not determine where I set up my workspace. I know I am not the only one...someone (from apple.) please finally address this issue, or direct me to a posting with a conclusion. I am going insane from the clicking noise, and I dont want to buy 2mice for my comps.
Thanks,
Donny

Shortsighted...maybe, that's not the point though. They were working perfectly, they do work in other places. I like the MM; I want it to work where I am now. I think it might in fact be shortsighted to not seek a solution before buying new mice. That is what I am doing. We have buried cable in my neighbourhood, so I do not think Power Lines are the problem (but they very well could be), besides the mice do work some places in the house. The problem is most likely in the walls somewhere, in which case, I will buy wireless MM's. Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate any help. I guess I'm just curious and eager to find a resolution.
Cheers,
Donny

Apple Mighty Mouse problem

I bought a Apple Mighty Mouse for my MacBook and now when I'm moving the cursor it instantly appears in another position that has nothing to do with the positioning I'm moving it. Do you know why this happens? Can you help me?

If its the wireless Mighty Mouse, I had problems with tracking, too.
(Also right button click, but that's a whole 'nuther story)
Some put it down to possible RF interference from other devices causing the problem, while my local Genius put it (and the click issue) down to a botched MM. In the end I gave up and went to a Macally BTMouse Jr. No problems at all.

Middle-clicking woes in X11 Apps using a mighty mouse

Hi,
This has been a frustrating issue ever since I got my new work computer (it's been over a year and a half) and I've just suffered through it. While middle-clicking a half dozen times today until it worked, I finally decided to ask to see if there's a solution other than scrapping the mighty mouse.
The problem is that when I use XEmacs (an X-windows app I use for coding), I like to use the middle click to paste, but I almost always manage to make the scroll-ball scroll inadvertently which causes the middle-click to not work and hence, nothing gets pasted. I know that there are other methods I could utilize, like setting up option-left-click or by command-c/command-v, or by using menus, but that's not what I want. I just want to highlight and middle-click. I want to have a middle-click that works with one try every time. I use all the clicking surfaces, so I don't want to map middle click to some other button. Is there a way I can tell X11 to ignore the scroll and middle-click anyway? Can someone give me a pointer on how to middle click better? This is crazy.
Thanks,
Rob

Have you tried an alternate Mouse driver?
USB Overdrive
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13443>
SteerMouse
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27620>
I think they have demo modes.
Personally, I use a Logitech mouse with about 9 buttons. My scroll wheel can be pushed left or right. Left is configured to Copy and Right is configured for Paste. Via USB Overdrive it does Command-C/Command-V for Mac applications, and the correct thing for X11 applications. That is to say, I can have the buttons do different things for different applications.

Mighty Mouse just scrolls up

Hi,
I just got a used (looks like new) bluetooth mighty mouse. The problem is the scroll ball only scrolls up. I set it to 360° and all other options. No effect.
Another thing is I can't configure the mouse as a bluetooth device. The mouse works (except the scrolling) an when I hit the bluetooth icon it is shown. But when I search for bluetooth devices oder even when I use the mouse configuration menu an click on "configure bluetooth mouse" it will not be found?
Does anyone know this funny stuff?

You must clean it.

Wireless Mighty Mouse "freezes", but ___

I've had this a couple times with my previous 20", where the Bluetooth wireless mouse did nothing, yet my Wacom tablet / pen was fine.
But this time, w/ my new 24" , it was one restart, then another. . and no change. But a shutdown snapped it out of it.
I'm not at all versed in crashlogs & such, but I'm foolishly hoping it's a certain, concise symptom.
More likely it could be any of a dozen things, right ?

Jen,
I had the same problem, though oddly enough, it affected only the non-administrator accounts on my iMac. Thinking the problem might be software related, or he result of transfering account information from my old iMac, I erased and reinstalled the operating system. When this did not solve the problem, I contacted Apple support, and they took me through the usual self-help step (e.g. clearing the NVRAM). Eventually, at Apple's suggestion, I took my iMac in to the local Apple store, where they ran some tests, but could not find a problem. They swapped out my wireless Mighty Mouse, but the problems continued. I contacted Apple again, and they arranged to send out a support person (to my home) to replace the Bluetooth module and logic board. After a day of considering this, I called Apple, and asked that they simply replace my iMac (it was but thirty days old), and they agreed to do so. My new iMac is enroute.
I know Apple appears not to agree, but I think the problem is with Leopard. If it was a hardware problem, it should also have affected my administrator account.

Hi, Guys!!
And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
Only Happens when i use Firefox...
Cheers.
Well the issue is still there...

Mouse Problems on new DC G5? or just normal mighty mouse behaviour?

Hey guys i bought a Dual core 2.0 G5 about 6 days ago, and i love it to death, theres just one thing thats bothering me, the Mighty Mouse tends to be annoying at times.
Let me go into detail, sometimes i will be searching up documents or going on the internet and if the page hasnt loaded or even if it has, the mouse disapears and runs me to the bottom of the page and wont let me scroll up and then the mouse disapears and keeps disapearing if i try to move it in that window, unless i click on the desktop and go back to the window....
what causes this? I know its only a software gltich or the mouse itself but cant be anyhting major but still its annoying, i heard others are having some of the same problems, any solution?

Ok I had the same problem when I got mt new DCG5. The MM would think I was holding the button down all the time among other wierd things. It cleared up after I did my usual reinstall to clean all the apps off I don't want that come stock. Not sure if that helps but it did go away so it wasn't a bad mouse like I originallt thought.

Mac Mini and Bluetooth Recent Problems (Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard)

Hello there,
I have an issue with my Mac Mini.
We had a storm here recently, so I switched my Mac off. After that, I turned it on, but to my surprise my Wireless Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keybord do not function any more. The green dot under the mouse nad keyboard flashes for a few seconds and turns off. I tried to plug my regular mouse and keyboard but it seems the do not work too. Any solutions?

i dont know if you have another mac around but have you tried repairing the disk by putting it into Target disk mode and hooking up another mac to it? if nothing else, try putting the install CD/DVD and boot from there by holding down "c" as it boots. if that works then it may just be a bad BT card. if it doesnt work then you may have bad usb ports. i hope you have applecare!
a tip for bluetooth HIDs, spread them apart. you will experience problems on occasion where their signals get crossed and they fail to sync right.
by the way, if you went the extra mile to turn off your mac because you were concerned about it, then why didnt you just unplug it from the outlet?

Problems w/ Apple Mighty Mouse and 2013 Macbook Pro

I recently purchased a 2013 Macbook Pro (13-inch, non-retina), and have tried connecting my 2010 (apprx.) Apple Mighty Mouse via bluetooth.
While it does connect, the right mouse button, "centre mouse button" (pressing down on the scroll wheel), and the two side buttons ("pinching buttons") do not work.
I tried changing the settings through System Preferences, assigning the right mouse button as the "Secondary Button", the centre mouse button for the Dashboard, and the two sides for Expose - App Windows, but none of it worked.
Any suggestions about how to remedy this would be appreciated.

Hey there, I'm on the forums because I can't get my wireless mouse to connect to my new MacBook Pro either (just got it yesterday). Bluetooth Device Manager seems to "see" it when it searches, but insists it can't connect to it, saying either "device not found" (which is ridiculous, since it's right up there in the list) or "cannot find the necessary services." Yet I cannot find anything definitive on the tubes to say that the two don't work together. Anyone else have any ideas for us??
I should mention I changed the batteries b/c at first I thought that's all it was. When it didn't work I brought it to a 2009 MacBook Pro, and that one connected no problem ::shaking head::
