  • Mouse scroll ball only works downwards

    The scroll ball on my mouse (which came with the computer) only works when scrolling downwards. It was OK yesterday. Any suggestions?

    Cleaning the ball is temporary at best. Most of the time the problem is not only a dirty ball but dust and dirt on the sensor below the ball. This is what works for me every time:
    Place a piece of clean white printer paper on your desk. Disconnect the mouse and turn upside down on the paper. Push down on the mouse so the ball compresses on the paper. Now virtuously move the mouse ball on the paper (fast, up and down, in circles for about a minute). You should see little bits on crud on the paper when finished.

  • Mouse Track Ball only working in one direction

    Hello,
    My Mighty Mouse is 3 months old and now the track ball is only working in one dircetion.
    When I move the ball forward I hear the distinct sound and the scroll bar on e.g. Safari moves, but when I reverse there is no movement on the screen.
    I don't hear the same sound as when I move the track ball forward.
    I have tried to reboot but no improvement.
    Have someone seen teh same issue? Is the solution to simply replace the mouse?
    Thanks / Christer

    Use the instructions in this article to clean the mouse.

  • Mighty mouse: tracking ball not working well

    "No, kidding", I am sure you are all saying:)
    The mouse works in three directions, but not going down. I have just read another post where someone with the same identical problem as me was told to turn it upside down and rub it vigorously onto a piece of paper. I have done that, but there is no change. Any advice??? Thanks.

    The phone number I found in my manual in the UK is (44) 0870 876 0753.
    Personally I find the website OK but I have to admit sometimes I get a little frustrated but overall I find it very helpful. Last you can always use Google, which is extremely easy.
    As I mentioned you can always go to an Apple Store, here is the link so you can search for the closest store in the UK there are quite a few. I know there is at least one store in Glasgow of course I have no idea how close that is to you.

  • Scroll ball only one way-down.

    My wireless mouse scroll ball only works down and is unresponsive up. This symptom occured before and seemed to cure itself. There was a time in the past when it was intermittent. I dropped the mouse earlier today. Could it have suffered brain damage?

    I should have read further into the posts before I asked. Turns out that it was just in need of cleaning. As was suggested in another post, I used a soft dust free damp cloth and turned the mouse up-side-down and rubbed the track ball around in all directions until all functions returned.

  • 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

  • Mighty Mouse Track Ball

    Does any one else have issues with the mighty mouse track ball?? My does not work half the time. When it is working it will only work in one direction half of that time.
    Does anyone know of ways to clean it?? Or keep this from happening?

    I've read all the posting about this..in recent months I've been cleaning the track ball 6,7,8,9....times every day. I had planned to buy a wireless Mighty Mouse but not now, it'd be cheaper to sit in front of my Mac bashing my testicles with a mallet for the same effect. Apple, this is an utter design disaster. Like Joachim says, why not a mouse we can open and clean easily, or a larger, more robust track ball mechanism? I'm off to but a mouse by anyone but Apple...

  • Mighty Mouse button doesn't work in Login screen.

    When I boot up my Mac I can move the cursor with the mouse in the Login screen, but I can't click on anything - the buttons don't work. Once I'm logged in the mouse works normally in every way.
    This only happens with the Mighty Mouse - 3rd party mice work fine in the Login screen.
    I can't see any settings in the Mouse System Prefs that would affect this.
    Anybody got a suggestion?

    Nobody got any insights?

  • Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi?

    Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi? Im having very sporadic results with this. I thought Apple products worked. Home sharing is not working from my windows operating system to my iPhone 4S nor my iPad.

  • Mighty Mouse Wireless no longer working.

    Hey,
    I recently got a mighty mouse (Christmas) and it worked fine. I put the batteries in and the green light came on. I paired it with my Mac and it functioned. I turned it off and put in my bag. 2 days later i pulled it out again and the green light didnt come on. The mouse didnt feel right and it couldnt click at all. I replaced the batteries and now the primary click looks like it would work but still the mouse wont turn on. Anyone have any ideas?

    Someone help please!

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard not working in Win XP!

    Hi All,
    I simply cannot get my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard to work in Win XP via Bootcamp! The bluetooth icon appears in the tray and even shows that they are connected but they do nothing at all. One thing to note is that they show up as connected but with no password. Could this be the problem? If I reconnected the two with new passcodes for XP, would they still work when I reboot in OSX?

    upgrading to vista sorted things out!

  • Has anyone been able to get a mouse scroll wheel to work with a scrolling text box in authorware?

    Has anyone been able to get a scroll wheel to work with a
    scrolling text box in authorware? Is there any way to attach the
    hardware of a scroll wheel to a scrolling text in a piece? Sure
    would make things easier for the reader.

    I doubt it. Maybe using the WinCtrls.u32? But after a few
    tries years
    ago (before the WinCtrols.u32), I'd pretty much given up.

  • Mighty Mouse (wireless) will only scroll up & not down

    Has anyone come across an issue like this, I think it is hardware, but thought I would ask around first?
    I tried using our 2nd wireless mighty mouse that is paired with the iMac and that worked correctly (scroll both up and down) when paired with my MacBook Pro. However, when I re-paired the mouse in question, it still only scrolls up.
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Apple Mouse Scroll Ball Not Working Since 10.7.4 Supplemental Update

    I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but my scroll ball on my Apple Mouse (wired) will no longer scroll upwards since applying the OS 10.7.4 Supplemental Update on the 1st June 2012.
    I have a Mac Mini with a 27" Thunderbolt Display running 10.7.4. There are no software updates available and I have tried all the settings available in the system preferences.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Mouse scroll ball not working

    How can you clean the mouse scroll ball to make it scroll again?

    Hello:
    Turn the mouse upside down and run it (vigorously) over a piece of paper.  Better yet, run it upside down over a micro-fiber cloth.
