Mighty Mouse scroll wheel support

Is it possible to use a Mighty Mouse's scroll wheel to scroll in Shake as in any other OS X program? It's not responding for me (nothing scrolls, and I have to manually drag the scroll bar up and down). Is there a fix for that? (Even better, can I also use the scroll wheel for panning around the node view, timeline, etc. instead of middle-click+dragging? That gets tedious.)

O~ho! I got it to work, actually. You can install SteerMouse (http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/) instead of Apple's driver, and you configure it so that, at least in Shake (it allows per-application configuration), the scroll wheel is set to "x scroll" instead of "acceleration scroll". Huzzah! Shake's interface is now a bit less awful!

NEWBIE-Using Mighty Mouse scroll wheel to control Color's SMH wheels

Hi, new here & new to Color, working thru Ripples iTunes Color tutorials right now. Loving Color so far. I hope to be back with less rudimentary questions one day but here's the 1st:
Lacking a dedicated hardware interface, I'd hoped the Might Mouse scroll wheel would drive the shadow midtone and hilight wheels. I've tried various permutations in system prefs but no dice. Have I missed something? Thank you.

nadsta, I've found using a ShuttlePRO2 unit very handy. It's cheap, and I can map whatever shortcut I want, and then I use a Wacom tablet for the color wheel adjustments.
I've mapped the ShuttlePRO to jump between grade 1-4, and the different rooms I use the most (primary in/out, secondaries, color fx), turning grade on/off, set/delete keyframes and adjust keyframe type, two buttons for ALT/OPT and SHIFT modifiers which comes in very handy for selecting and adding to a color selection (in secondaries for instance) or holding ALT while click-and-drag in the color wheels and different parameters around the interface.
It's not perfect, but I can at least do some things in less time than I would using the keyboard.

Mighty Mouse scroll wheel in 10.3.9

Hi,
I just got my bluetooth mighty mouse yesterday, It works great even though
I only have 10.3.9. All the buttons work, the only thing that is not working for me is the scroll wheel moving from right to left. Has anyone had this problem? Is there any software that will help with this? The only thing is, i don't what anything to happen to any of the other buttons, because everything else works great!
Thanks
Dave

I believe the booklet that came with the mouse explains what features work with each version of Mac OS X (I can't remember the page - I don't have the booklet to hand at the moment); I would expect the scroll ball to work with 10.3.9...

Vista64 Bluetooth Mighty Mouse scroll wheel SOLVED

I don't know if this has been answered elsewhere, but I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out why my scroll wheel wasn't working in Vista64. If you're running a "Pro" model, use your system restore disc 1 and look for the boot camp installer for 64. No problems, no "KeyAgent" or "MacHAL" installation problems at all. Hope this helps and isn't redundant.

Could it be that your mouse has dirt inside affecting the ball to scroll? I had a mighty mouse for just over a year when it stopped scrolling down. They are very difficult to take apart and clean. It would also void its warranty. If it's still within its warranty I would take it back and ask for a replacement. I'm not very impressed with the mighty mouse.

Mighty Mouse Scroll wheel disfunction

Hello
The scroll wheel on my mighty mouse does not function correct at the moment. When I scroll down, it works, although it skips a bit up and down. But when I try to scroll up, either nothing happens, or it scrolls down. This has happened before, where I've just turned it over onto a piece of paper and pushed around the scroll button a little, until it worked. But this time, that won't do the trick. It also makes a faint clicking noise.
Any suggestions?
Rune

Hi, try a little rubbing alcohol on a piece of soft cloth (handkerchief) give the ball a good 360°
on the cloth..up/down & roundNround..If the MM is under warranty or you have Applecare Apple will replace it for you..I believe your local store will exchange if you have your computer details & receipt etc....L

Mighty Mouse Scroll Wheel

Hi Gang
How's everyone doin?
I suspect the tiny little button wheel in the middle of the mighty mouse is not working properly? I can get it to scroll upward, but not downward. And it does it's job as it goes from side to side. Just can't get it to scroll downward.
Time for a new mouse with scroll wheel?
BTW - went to system preferences everything's checked there correctly.
Thanx guys
Mike

Hi-
The scroll balls get gummed up with dirt and skin oil.
There are a few ways to clean it, as this search reveals:
Clean Mighty Mouse.
Start with the paper strip tick, then move on to disassembly if necessary.

Help with Bootcamp (Speakers and mighty mouse scroll wheel not working)

So I just loaded bootcamp onto my macbook but I'm having some problems. First, my scroll bar on my mighty mouse doesn't work when in Windows. The only help I've seen online has been for those who haven't yet loaded windows. Can I still download a driver that will help me out? My speakers also are not working and the Realtek driver that everyone said worked for them didn't work for me. Advice?

Sorry, this is not possible in the current version of Firefox, but we have an open bug report where we are tracking this issue here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686228
With luck it will be fixed in a future version.

Custom Right-Click Options with Mighty Mouse (scroll-wheel)

Is there a way to add custom actions to the contextual right-click menu on the mighty mouse? Or a program that will allow me to do that? I am looking to add a script or other items to the right-click menu options.

this has nothing to do with the kind of mouse you are using. you can add items to the right-click menu by creating a service. you can make your own using automator.
also, some applications install services when you install the applications and there are a number of built in services available. you can check system preferences->keyboard->keyboard shortcuts->services and activate the ones you want.

Mouse scroll wheel not working correctly.

Just installed Firefox 4 and my mouse scroll wheel is not working correctly. When opening the program, I can scroll as normal for about 5/10 minutes. Then, suddenly, the mouse scroll wheel no longer works. I've since found that it is actually scrolling outside of Firefox. E.g. I had Outlook open and it was scrolling through my Outlook even though Firefox was the open window. I checked this multiple times and it always seems to be the case.
Checked about:config as advised, everything looks correct on the mousewheel settings (i.e everything is set to default). Mouse drivers are up to date. No problems with any other programs. This issue started occurring in Firefox 4 beta. I switched back to 3.6 so I could continue scrolling. Updating to Firefox 4 caused the issue to recur.

It seems a lot of people are having problems with the Mighty Mouse's scroll ball. I actually thought I was done for after just a few weeks of using my first (wired) one. But here I am years later with my wireless variant, beeing perfectly happy with it (in case you don't know, the wireless Mighty Mouse is a much better option due to it's laser based tracking system). In my experience, getting rid of fluff that interferes with the ball is quite easy on both types. Try blowing really hard directly at the trackball (optionally while you press it down with some pointed device) a few times. Rotate it and repeat as needed. Alternatively roll the mouse upside down on the microfiber cloth that probably came with your Mac.

Might Mouse scroll wheel indesign

(oops I thought this category was "other" hardware products. Why isn't there a category for keyboards and mice??)
I want to thank Apple for being forward looking in all aspects of design, formost the input devises. The new keyboard is amazing. Thanks. The Mighty Mouse is the first decent Apple mouse since pre-G3 days. In fact it is a very nice mouse – for 2 months.
My Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling after 2 months of heavy use. I took it to the Genius Bar, they told me it was dirty and sprayed air into it. It worked great again for another 4 days. That was April. I've just learned to live without it since then – occasionally trying to spray air into it to no avail.
I found this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1243940
which gives us a simple how-to on cleaning the mouse. I can figure that out myself.
Does anybody know how to break open the mighty mouse so I can actually clean it?
I am a very clean person. If it takes two months for me to clog up the scroll wheel, somebody else has got to have a solution? I fear any professionals who use a Mac day in and day out must be using a third party mouse. I've not had any problems with a third party optical mouse ever – after many years of use. My Mighty Mouse's scroll wheel is really terrible.
My questions are:
A) How do I open up the mighty mouse so I can clean it?
B) Is there a third party mouse that scrolls left and right and connects via bluetooth?
C) Is apple reinventing the wheel again? Seriously.
Okay, I had to vent. Better than throwing this thing against the wall.

A) How do I open up the mighty mouse so I can clean it?
You can't without breaking it.
B) Is there a third party mouse that scrolls left and right and connects via bluetooth?
There are other scroll-ball mice (the only ones I know of that have dual-axis scroll), but they'll have the same problem though some might be easier to clean. As a possible help for the problem with your current mouse, perhaps this will help:
http://theappleblog.com/2008/09/27/revive-your-mighty-mouse-scroll-ball/
C) Is apple reinventing the wheel again?
Constantly. Apple has applied for a patent on a mouse with a touchpad rather than a mechanical ball, but whether such a product will ever make it to market is unknown.

The mouse scroll wheel doesn't work with Xorg

I recently installed Solaris 10 on my x86 box. One issue is that the mouse scroll wheel doesn't work with Xorg. Hmmm... Okay, it sometimes did work, and most of the time went on strike, and recovered at random. This pattern continued.
My mouse is an ordinary PS/2 one with two buttons and a scroll wheel. I want to promise that there's absolutely nothing wrong with it per se. Here is some info:

Mighty mouse scrolling problems

I'm having trouble with my mighty mouse scrolling. It was working fine now not. I just replaced the batteries after indicatortold me to do so. I've tried re-loading the software (though the install routine called it an upgrade).

Mine wont scroll down.
Up, left, right no problem.
If I put the mouse near my ear I can hear a soft clicking when I scroll up, left or right, but no sound when I scroll down.
I have tried cleaning and pressing hard, etc.
I just got off a 47 minute troubleshooting session with apple support and they finally agreed to replace it. I can't believe how nontechnical and unknowledgeable the level 1 support at apple is. It was clearly a mechanical trouble and I described it very clearly, yet they insisted on making me log into other accounts, check preferences, replace batteries, etc. On top of that I was put on hold several times while the tech checked with others about what to do and filled out forms, etc. I have to say I really am not happy with apple support based on this and all previous experiences. On top of this I have to give a credit card# as collateral until I send the defective unit back. If that is the policy why don't they save the 47 minutes and just process the replacement just like the cell phone companies do??
Oh well. Good luck to all of you with your mouse problems..

Some other info:
You know that you can control Photoshop input fields http://screencast.com/t/ApVseKYRxz with the mouse scroll wheel. Pretty handy indeed. You just have to click on the field and spin the wheel and values changing.
The problem:
My mouse wheel cannot control the input fields in this way. I select the field, spin the wheel and nothing happen. When I spin it faster a couple of times, than the values get changing - pretty strange ha? Scrolling normally - do not change, scrolling fast change. But to scroll fast is not an option because I cannot change the values slightly with small increments... There is a bug really...
What I tried and didn't work:
1. Restarted Photoshop
2. Plug/Unplug and change different USB slots for both receivers.
3. Reintalling latest SetPoint Drivers (after uninstall I run ccleaner)
4. Put all SetPoint settings to defaults (because I programmed some mouse keys to Photoshop specifically).
5. Install earlier versions of SetPoint drivers.
6. Set my UEFI BIOS to defaults.
7. Restarted the BIOS to load all the drivers again, but still no luck
(the last think I didn't do is to reinstall Photoshop)
What I have investigated so far:
1. When I restart the computer and run Photoshop it works perfect HA! , but after a seconds it do not words again ...
2. When I stop SetPoint software, when I shut down it, it words perfect.
3. When I unplug keyboard receiver it words perfect, but I do not have keyboard:)
4. Everything works perfect in Illustrator and After effects.
5. Also I noticed that when I scroll images in CameraRaw - http://screencast.com/t/xKnn6cY9 the I have to scroll harder and spin the wheel harder to scroll - the same problem.
6. Also in photoshop and bridge scrolling here - is pretty smooth and works perfect - http://screencast.com/t/75IXMG6Zria
Maybe the most important part - When I start experiencing the problem:
I had same configuration , same everything and everything worked fine.
I installed SSD disk, reinstalled Windows (same like before), updated my BIOS to UEFI. Installed Photoshop and SetPoint and problem started.
Posted same request to Logitech, but want to ask you for help too.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I found a solution.
1. Uninstall your current Setpoint Driver.
2. Run CCleaner - http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
3. Download an older version of SetPoint - http://www.oldapps.com/setpoint.php
(I used SetPoint 6.15 (x64), I tried 6.20, 6.32, 6.50 , but no luck)
4. Now everything is all right!
Thanks!
Can somebody mark this as solved? Thanks!

Use of mouse scroll wheel in Forms 6i runtime

Is there any way to make the mouse scroll wheel work in Forms 6i runtime? Does it work in some areas and not in others? Ultimately, the user would like to use the scroll wheel to navigate through rows in a block instead of dragging the scrollbar. We also have data in a particular row and column that has scroll bar. I'm hearing that in some instances it works, don't know if I believe, not sure if it's workstation dependent. Client workstations are generally XP.
cheryl

I think (can't ckeck at the moment) that an animated gif will only run when deployed on the web (you need the JVM)
As I said, I think this is the case but can't confirm it at the moment.
