My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down - only up and sideways.

My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down; only up and sideways. It could be a hardware problem and I guess I should go and by a new mouse but before I do I thought I'd check whether there was any parameter I could change to fix or test this. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers.

Hello and welcome to discussions,
Several ways to cure this one...

Mouse no longer scrolls photos in 2 view modes

In A2, if I hovered the mouse over the strip and used the wheel (Revolution MX) it would scroll the thumbnails. If I hovered it over the selected, large photo I could scroll through one-by-one. Same in Viewer mode-scrolling up or down went to the next or previous photo. Now it only works in Browser mode or in the strip in Split View. This has ruined my whole workflow of rating with my left hand while scrolling with the mouse in the right.
I've checked the settings I know, such as Primary on or off, with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it looks like scrolling has been changed as you describe.
Dont forget that the arrows and numeric pad (if you have a full size keyboard) work very well. I find rating to be a one handed job using a thumb on the right arrow and a finger for the rating value. Its fast after a bit of practice.

Apple mouse no longer scrolls down in Firefox

Today my mouse stopped scrolling down or up in Firefox, though scrolling side to side still works. This is only happening in Firefox. I just downloaded 30.0 and that didn't help. The about:config settings for scrolling are ok. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this in Firefox?

Does this only affects the mouse and can you still scroll with the keyboard?
Can you move the scroll bar thump with the left mouse button pressed?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Hi! My magic mouse won't scroll in word for mac - but it scrolls in safari and outlook. So frustrating!

I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and am using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5. My magic mouse no longer scrolls in word - though I can click on things with the magic mouse. And the magic mouse scrolls in safari and outlook. Any thoughts?

I had the same problem. I just quit Word and restarted and it worked. I tried with a new document just to try it at first and when that worked, I tried it on the document I was working on and it was fixed!

I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works

I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work. 
Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Why can I no longer scroll with the mouse when using Pages?

A few days ago, I realized that I am unable to scroll within a Pages document with the mouse. The scroll bar is not there. The scroll feature works fine, and after trying to figure this out myself with no success, I thought I'd ask here. I have Pages '09 and I'm using OS X 10.9.5.

Thanks. That's not the problem. Scrolling works in everything else except Pages. I used to be able to scroll just by using my finger up or down on the mouse. Now, I can't do that. I tried setting the scroll bars to "Always", but then I have to physically click on the scroll bar and move it up and down. Not like it's that much hassle, lol, but I got used to just scrolling with my finger on the mouse.

Touchpad no longer scrolls up and down on Satellite A

So my HD crashed and i have to completely install Windows and all the Toshiba stuff with it a new.
All is well - except for one thing, my touchpad no longer scrolls up and down using the side of it in IE or Chrome, but it still works in SeaMonkey.
My Computer technician tells me it's an issue with getting some new driver for the touchpad, and i think i had to do that already about a year ago when i still had my original HD running.
So i went to the Toshiba.ch website and tried to find something.
I found all their "verfication" stuff and got inside the system and it instantly returned about 45 drivers by the looks of my "un"-driving eyeys they all could have been for whatever, so i searched especially for "touch pad" and yes, there was one for my Synapsis touchpad and XP as well, so i downloaded it - or i should say i opened it in Win Zip and checked first on the "readme file - wow, that was some Portugese in there, and that's when i kind of begun to feel lost.
I check in at Toshiba.ch, get a ton of drivers in my face i have no clue whether i am supposed to download them all or what, and when i finally pick what i think i need the whole thing seems to be in Portugese, what the crickey in the afternoon is this???
Anyway, before i download and try to install stuff i have no clue about i was hoping someone would actually give me a better hint on what i have to do exactly to get my touchpad to scroll up and down again also in Chrome, IE and where ever else.
I use Service Pack 3 on Win XP Pro and was told that's maybe why the old original driver for this laptop needs to be updated, but which file, where to get it, and how to properly install it please anyone???

Thanks for that, you confirm what i actually found out myself in the meantime.
The way i got this issue solved was that i first tried to download and install the Synaptics driver from the Toshiba site - that simply failed miserably, glad with no negative side effects at least.
Nesxt i used what unfortunately is way easier that sites like the Toshiba overload, i used Google to simply find the Synaptics website and instantly got the link to their driver download - eh voila, that actually gave me a .exe file, not an endless array of zipped files like the stuff on the Toshiba site in endless language versions!!!
This worked, tested everything out alread since a while.
- Which now leaves me with the question about the second driver you mentioned,
Alps Electric
what is that one needed for??
I have not seen this name on my lappy before, so totally unsure about whether it still needs this dispite things are working everywhere, i did not even have to go into the Device Settings of the Mouse / touchpad to change or rearrange anything in there after the direct download from Synapsis, but well informed is always best, so if you could let me know about that
Alps thing would appreciate...

I can no longer scroll on my iMac in Mavericks

For some reason completely unknown to me, I suddenly can no longer scroll, or even see scrollbars on my iMac, running Mavericks. It's been perfectly fine for months and just yesterday...poof! No scrolling.
At first I thought it was limited to Safari, but then noticed it's for all browsers and all programs on my computer.
Can anyone please help me with this? The only searches I've done show articles at least two years old.
P.S. I can "scroll" with the up-down arrow keys, but not with a mouse of any kind (wired or wireless), and the scroll bars do not appear until I use the arrow keys.
27", Late 2012 iMac
OS X 10.9.3

Leroy, this has to be the single most embarrassing thing I've ever done on a computer.
The restart worked.
In my own lame defense, I had just restarted my iMac prior to this occurring, so I figured the last thing that would fix this would be another restart.
I know you can't see it, but my head is hanging in shame!
Thank you for mentioning the restart. I'm always telling people to reboot before doing anything else, and this time, I should have done it myself.
I'm going to go hide under a rock for a while.
Thanks again!

I can no longer scroll in Word

I can no longer scroll through a document in Word, can someone tell me how to fix it?

you have provided minimal information in your question. to help, we need lots!
what version of Word? -  Apple Menu > About Microsoft Word
what has changed since this began? update / upgrade software - system or App?
have you updated Yosemite to version 10.10.*1* ? -- in the Finder -  Apple Menu > About this Mac
to clarify, scrolling is normal in all other App & Finder windows?
In Word, are the scroll bars 'present' (visible)?
 if present, are all scroiling functions failing?
 mouse click
 arrows - both 'fine' and 'page' <-(my Word version has its own scroll unique button versions, separate from System)
 up, down, left, right - (last two depends on Zoom of page)
 in the blank areas of the scroll bars - 'page' or 'jump to here' as set in System Prefs *(see OS X Yosemite: General preferences )
 click, hold & drag the scroll BAR itself
does the page scroll using the arrow keys?
 when the text cursor moves past the visible portion of the document page?
 when using key combination - fn Function + 'up' or 'down' and/or fn Function + 'left' ('Home' or top of page) & 'right' ('End' or bottom of page)
these answers will get us started...
with anticipation

Apple Wireless Mouse - No Longer Pairs with Mac Mini?

Hi there,
I've had an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an Apple Wireless Mouse for several months. Unfortunately, the Apple Wireless Mouse no longer pairs with the Mac Mini (Core Duo, 1.66) -- it is getting very frustrating.
I've tried rebooting the machine, restarting the mouse, and nothing works. Sometimes I get the Bluetooth Setup Assistant which says that it found 1 Mouse, but it failed to pair.
I replaced the batteries, but nothing changes.
Help!

Normally that's caused by debris under the trackball preventing the rollers from moving. Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball Vigorously with a microfiber cloth.
The symptoms are usually that scroll will work one direction but not the other.

Magic mouse no longer working in Windows 7

Hi, I posted a topic under the Windows section but got no answer. When I first installed Windows 7 on my Mac (Sorry poor Mac but I had to), my Magic Mouse worked seamlessly with Windows until recently, I booted up in Se7en and my mouse no longer worked, I can't find any trace of bluetooth peripherals on the computer, in "Administration tools" and "Hardware manager" (or whatever it's called) I can't see a sign of my Broadcom Bluetooth adaptor. The bluetooth drivers are installed and I can see that in "Add or remove programs" so I don't know how to fix this. I already tried reinstalling the drivers from the boot camp DVD, and I also uninstalled Boot Camp, reinstalled it and updated it. Nothing works. If you have any ideas apart reinstalling Windows I would really appreciate because using my trackpad on a desk while having a Magic Mouse on the side (especially in Windows the trackpad *****) is driving me nuts. Thanks
Scott

Hi eg1978
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having issues with your two finger scrolling. I have a couple of things for you to try. This HP document Using and Configuring the TouchPad has a section on Turning individual gestures off and on and make sure that the two finger scrolling is enabled. If that does work then reinstall your Synaptics TouchPad Driver.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

My mouse will not scroll down pages in Firefox 4 and up.

The scroll wheel on the mouse no longer works in any version of Firefox from version 4 and up. None of the suggestions I have seen in responses to similar questions do not work. The only thing that works is to downgrade to version 3.6.20 or lower. I am presently using Firefox 6 with Windows XP SP3.

I have the same problem, the mouse is incompatible with Safari for Windows and MAC. I have instalkled the latest drivers and yet no joy. Switched to my old Logitech M305 and everything works fine. Also my MS Wheel mouse (Corded) works just fine too. After many tries the MS 4000 Wireless mous will not work with safari.
Why the incompatibility? It surely is software related and seems to be related to the mouse driver.

Mighty Mouse won't scroll

None of the answers to this topic solved my problem. All of a sudden my bluetooth mighty mouse won't scroll. I can set it to 360 degrees and it will scroll horizontally. But it won't scroll horizontally or vertically if I set it to both. Help!

Have you tried resetting bluetooth?
I have been having the same problem since nearly as long as I've had my mighty mouse, and cleaning it never solved the problem.
I just called apple and got them to send me out a new one, but before they did they told me to do this.
Turn off your Mac, removed the power and battery and hold down the power button for 5 seconds. Then turn it back on, but while you turn it back on hold down the altcmnd+RP buttons together. You will hear it ching two times as it turns on, let go after the second ching. This apparently resets the bluetooth and it fixed my mouse, it now works perfectly.
I'd recommend taking the advise of an apple technical advisor first before trying this, I have a MacBook from last year and that's what i did.

Installed Lion, mouse no longer right-clicks

Just upgraded my 5-year old Mac Pro to Lion (10.7). The OS no longer recognizes a right-click on the mouse (standard mouse with the scroll ball). I see where to turn it on and off in Preferences...the right button is set to "secondary button." However it functions just like the primary button. It worked fine under 10.6. I do also have a TrackPad installed but disabling it does not seem to affect the mouse function.

Okay, after a couple of reboots this problem seems to be gone.
