Mouse problems in lion

Seems like I'm suddenly having a myriad of navigation problems after having upgraded to Lion. One of the most frustrating is that scrolling will only function one way on both wired and magic mouse. If I scroll up on the mouse, the text rolls down. But then I can't scroll back up unless I move over to the scroll bar on side of page to navigate. I've tried all the options in system preferences but can't solve the frustrating problem.
Anyone else having issues? Anyone else solving these issues?

go to the mouse system preferences and uncheck that box at the top

Magic Mouse problem under lion...it´s jumping ...

hi there
i got a big problem with my magic mouse after installing a new audio interface (RME BABFACE) .... after installing and restarting the system, the magic mouse jumps to corners and clicks even when I don´t push "click" on it... it goes totally crazy.... you can´t work with that... t
on my mac book pro the magic mouse works perfect !! ... so it is a software thing...definitely
i repaired the hard drive permissions and checked them also.... no success.
anyone has an idea or did had some similar problem ?
i also started a thread in RME forum but no answer so far...
my system is mac mini i7 with lion 10.7.4

Hi ruddager --
Have you tried different batteries?
Like plain AA batteries. Or the Lithium AA batteries?
What are you using for a mouse pad? Have you tried a different (plain) surface?

Magic Mouse problems on Lion...

I just finished installing Lion and my first impression is that I hate it! I'm having the following issues (of which help would be greatly appreciated...)
1. With Magic Mouse I can no longer do a 2-finger swipe to go back/forward on Safari or Chrome. Any way to get this back?
2. Does the scrolling up/down with Magic Mouse seem backwards to anyone else?
3. It definitely takes longer to open applications in Lion...its not fun waiting for Chrome or Safari to open. I have upgraded to 4 gb RAM but doesn't seem to help. I realize my computer is on the old side (about 3 yrs old now) but it ran perfectly before!
Thank you so much for your help...hopefully I can learn to love Lion like I've loved other Apple products.

rdaufmann87, thanks for the info. Would that there were a "kind" column. When I go to System Information and select Applications under Software, I see a Kind *field* and I am able to see the data for only one application at a time. Looks like this:
Version:    1.6.65
Last Modified:    [1/14/11] 9:52 :34AM |1/14/11
Kind:    Universal
64-Bit (Intel):    No
App Store:    No
Get Info String:    1.6.65, 11/16/2008 21:00
Location:    /Applications/Adobe/Acrobat.com.app
So my option is to select each of my hundreds of apps, one at a time, and see what is in the Kind field. Not optimal.
Still unaddressed: why can't I right click using my Magic Mouse in Lion? This is the earliest I have ever gone to a new Mac OS (starting with v1.1), and I am now regretting it after seeing how much trouble many folks are having.

Wireless mouse problem mountain lion

I seem to be having a problem with my Magic Mouse after updating to 10.8.3. any one else having the same?

I´m having same issues, I´ve read numbers of threads in the forum where it´s suggested you reset PRAM, unpair-repair, reboot, removing extensions files. But nothing seems to work. I can move the cursor and simple click but none of the multitouch functions works.
HELP!

Mouse problems with v10.7 Lion and VMWare Fusion 3.1.3; reboot of Lion temporarily fixes it

Since installing Lion, my VMWare Fusion 3.1.3 Windows 7 and XP virtual machines have very strange mouse problems. I thought it might have been caused by 3rd party software on my iMac (Mouse Zoom), because it seemed to work after removing the software, but I have now discovered that it is actually the reboot of OS X v10.7 (and now v10.7.1) that temporarity removes the problem. However, after a while the problem comes back, requiring another reboot of Lion.
The problem is strange behavior of mouse button clicks inside the virtual machine, e.g. unable to double click on a folder or program in Windows because it jumps back to the higher folder tree, as if I had hit the ESC key. In addition to my USB and BlueTooth mice, the Mac touchpad also has the problem. I have confirmed that the problem is probably in how VMWare maps the iMac human interface devices (HIDs) to the virtual mouse inside the VM, because I am able to get correct mouse function by attaching one of my mice directly to the Virtual Machine (there is an edit to the VMX file that enables HID devices).
I have deleted and reinstalled VMWare Fusion 3.1.3 per suggestions on the VMWare support site and/or various forums, but that did not help.

According to: http://roaringapps.com/app:61 Version 3.1.3 has issues with Lion. There is a 2011 beta that works better.

Mouse hovering problem on Lion

Hello everyone,
my problem is that with no reason mouse hovering in Lion is not responding. For example, when I hover my mouse on the dock it does not magnify, it is like there is no pointer at all. In addition, another instance of this is when I am on a webpage, and the mouse hovers over a link where it would normally change to a gloved pointer hand to indicate that it was hovering over the link, it does not; the pointer stays the same black-on-white shape. Moreover, when I hover the mouse over the red button to close the window in the top left-hand corner of the window, the X does not appear on the red button, the - does not on the yellow, and the + does not on the green. Finally, when I open a menu where there is a submenu in a software like Photoshop, neither it highlights nor it shows the submenu until I click on it. It does not happen always and a restart resolves the problem but it is annoying. I am using a Logitech MX600 Laser Cordeless mouse (Unfortunately the magic mouse lags terribly cause the bluetooth signal is not strong enough). I have all the latest updates and I am using an 8 Core Mac Pro (early 2009).
In this video, you will see exactly what I mean:

If this happens in Mountain Lion too, then Apple. I know what it s like to have an expensive item (in your case a mouse) that does not work in Mac, while it works perfectly on Windows. Take for example gamepads, none is working in Mac....why?? is it so difficult for Apple to create Generic Drivers that at least do the basics work? One thing that OS X should be envious about Windows 7 is its ability to download automatically drivers that make your device work even in doomsday. Even if I plug in my washing machine in a USB port Windows 7 will make it work! Let's just hope that Mountain Lion is still not in its last final release.

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse problems

Dear friends,
I think something is wrong with my bluetooth devices... They work perfecly well for a period of time (maybe 1 hour, maybe 2 minutes) and after this period they stop working well. They are not disconnected, they keep working, but they are super lagish, e.g. the mouse cannot be controlled, the keyboard have super latency or it keeps repeating a button i selected.
When this occurs I turn off bluetooth from my status bar, and turn it again on right away. That solves the problem for again a period of time. This issue was first introduced to me after I installed Lion on my mac. After this and some other problems I experienced in Lion, I decided to switch back to snow leopard again. The thing is that the problem persisted...
Any suggestions ???
Thanks

OK. New input...
Updated again to Lion. As soon as I updated the problem began again. Once again I deleted the com.apple.bluetooth file and reset both pram and smc.
For two days my bluetooth devices were working perfectly fine. None issues.
Today, I was in a hurry and put my mac on sleep by closing the lid. As soon as I opened the lid again
the problem unveiled again.
What on earth is happening ?? It cannot be a keyboard or mouse problem, can it ??
Little help, please... It seems managable, but performing a smc and pram reset every couple days doen't
seem right...
Regards

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR, Mouse problem & Video off problem solved!!!

I find the following information that I collected very interesting at the very least...
Here goes...
The video off problem that I was having was directly linked to the mouse. Here, let me explain the video off problem. In the BIOS Have the Standby mode set to S3. The problem occurred when I started windows, then went into standby, then started back up, then restarted the computer, the monitor would act as if it were in sleep mode, or rather there was no signal being sent to the monitor. Well the odd way I fixed that is by plugging in a standard 2 button PS/2 mouse. Also this fixed the issue with the mouse sometimes not working in windows.
Here is how I tested.
Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse, PS/2 & USB= failed.
Logitech iFeel Optical Mouse, USB= failed.
Microsoft Cordless Ball Mouse, PS/2= failed.
Standard Artec (Cheapy brand) Ball Mouse (With no wheel), PS/2= All issues fixed, and passed.
When I said failed I do not mean they didn't work, I mean they sometimes didn't work and also caused the Video off problem after restarting the computer.
Obviously it isn't the ports (PS/2 or USB) that are the problem, it is more like the mouse itself, and the amount of buttons in particular. As you can see above the only mouse that works correctly is the one that only has 2 buttons, the rest has 3 or more buttons along with a Wheel. The MX700 has 8 buttons + wheel, WOW!
Anyways I figure out it was the mouse, and not the memory.
Obviously MSI needs to make a patch for this mouse problem.
I'm still having a hard time believing that the mouse caused the video not to work, but it is true! I spend well over 5 hours testing this crap. Every time with the mice with more then 3 buttons it messed up, and every time with the 2 button old fashion mouse it worked flawlessly!
MSI, get to work on a new BIOS to fix this mess!!! :]

you can get some trouble if you do it the way i did it.
i was in windows surfing and the pointer just jumped all over the screen.
when i looked on the other side under a table a friends little kid played with the usn mouse. )
bye
LOL, that isn't what I'm talking about.
There seems to be a problem with my motherboard accepting mice with more then 2 buttons. It works the first time, but if you restart the computer, the video goes off. If you have both installed, it still messed up.

Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer

Hi
Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer
Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
Best Regards

Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

Mouse Problems Since 10.6.8 Update

Since I applied the OS X 10.6.8 update to my MacBook, I have started to have very annoying mouse problems. Sometimes the mouse gets stuck on a window or icon as if I am dragging it. More often, the left mouse button stops doing anything and the right mouse button starts acting like the left mouse button. At the same time, the mouse is often incapable of clicking on a highlighted button. Safari often seems to be open when this happens.
I have tried two different wireless mice and, most recently, a basic corded mouse. I have also tried both USB ports with the corded mouse.
Has anyone else seen this and figured out how to fix the problem?

Same problem here with a macbook pro. I desactivate teleport to see if the problem is related.

Startup problem with Lion OS 10.7.3

Just recently, I've been experiencing a startup problem with Lion. I don't usually have any issues running my Mac, so I'm at a loss why this is happening now.
I have an Intel Mac Pro running 10.7.3. I usually leaving my Mac running all the time and only restart when the need arises. In addition to being my main computer, this mac alsocontrols a MacMini that serves as a music server thru screen sharing.
This past weekend, I restarted my Mac and could not get past the grey screen. The mac chimes, the apple logo appears with the spinning gear, the blue screen briefly appears, but instead of progressing to the desktop it reverts to the grey screen with a repeating cycle of the spinning gear appearing (spins for a while, stops, disappears, reppears spinning, stops, disappears, over and over) - never progressing beyond that stage.
I decided to reinstall the system and things have been fine for the past few days. Today, restarting again resulting in the same problem.
I've tried several things without success. I disconnected all peripherals, reset the PRAM/SMC, ran Disk Utility from a install volume and ran repair and permissions (no problems reported). Tried safe mode startup - a progress bar appeared but never fully progressed and could not get to the desktop.
Recent changes included updating the OS to 10.7.3 and Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 - no recent hardware changes. No bluetooth devices connected.
Any thoughts? Thanks -

Thanks -
I've reinstalled the OS today and am back up and running.
But, since this is twice this has happened within the past week, I'm worried about might be causing this issue - besides bad luck. My Mac is usually rock solid - can't remember the last time I've had to reinstall the OS in the past few generations of OS X.

My problem started when system preferences was unresponsive and would not force quit. I tryed to restart and got the grey screen, but it never restarted. I closed the lid and now the screen is blank. Has anyone had a similar problem after Lion?

No, as I have yet to be convinced on Lion.
Did a permissions repair help from the install DVD?

Major mouse problems in Virtualbox 3.0.2

I'm running an Arch Linux VM running on VB version 3.0.2 running under an Arch Linux host (both x86_64 if that matters). As you x86_64 guys know, one must use thotypous's package in the AUR for VB on x86_64. Anyway, the VM boots up just fine and is fully functional, except that the mouse in the VM simply stops working after a while. It seems to be stuck and invisible trapped in the lower right of the screen; my only option is to restart the VM.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I ended-up nuking my VM and hdd file, rebuilding it from scratch and am experiencing exactly the same issue w/ the mouse. Everything is fine in my XP VM, it's just my Arch x86_64 VM that has this damn mouse problem!

What model of Mac? I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue. From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs? Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

My PS/2 mouse problem :(

for some time now i boot up the computer and every other time the mouse works, i now use a usb keyboard and before when i had a ps2 keyboard it was that that wouldnt work, sometimes the mouse wouldnt work and when i restarted with pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice and tabbed to the shutdown in the box that came up when it was time for windows to let me log in my keyboard wouldnt work and i had to use the mouse to restart, eventually the mouse and keyboard would work together after a few restarts using this method.
well now i have a usb keyboard and it works all the time so the mouse now works every other boot or reboot, i am guessing maybe i should of gotten a usb mouse along with the keyboard but the keyboards that came with mice together were kind of ugly and small so i got the Gigaware usb keyboard, plus four of the five usb slots in the back of my computer are currently being used(one for this keyboard, one for my gigaware headphones, one for my webcam, and one for my printer) the only one empty is the one connected to the D-link Bracket thing that has the four lights that light up a certain pattern to tell you if any problems, i had my ipod shuffle hooked up to it once recently and when i opened or restarted my computer nothing would load up, really not sure why so i dont leave the ipod shuffle connected to my computer, just that time to test it because i just got it not too long ago, been trying to resolve my computer issues so no time to do anything with it lol
so back to the main issue....my mouse works but every time i restart it doesnt or if i start up my computer it doesnt work and then when i restart it then it works. I have searched for the passed month with google looking for similar issues with this mouse problem and i have seen a few people with the same problem but no solution, i personally will be getting in more detail than any of these people have been in those forums i have visited.
so i have tried a few different things to try and correct this problem and none have worked so far. I have looked in the BIOS for any setting related to the mouse and have found nothing, i have uninstalled the mouse in Device Manager and restarted my computer still with the mouse being detected and sometimes not until reboot
the last thing i did was most interesting to me, i had my computer shut down and thought to try and see what happens if i have no mouse physically installed so i unplugged it and turned on my computer and when the screen came up for me to log into windows there was the pointer in the middle of the screen just the same as the times my mouse would be frozen and i need to restart to make it work.
now further into my observatory skills hehe i happened to eventually get really curious at the boot up screen after the detecting of my drives and before the microsoft windows logo and i got more near to what i think is causing this mouse issue yet i dont know how to correct it, i pressed Pause/Break to read what was there because it was to fast to read in the first place and i finally notice it is PCI listing devices and there is a list of devices and IRQs that each one is using, before all that though i noticed in my readings that the mouse IRQ was 12 always and this part of the screen that i saw really confused me was that after many tests i noticed that each time the mouse didnt work i had seen when i froze the screen to read that IRQ 12 was being used by SMBus Cntrlr and also Multimedia device and when i restarted then those two were using IRQ 11 and my mouse worked
this was really strange and i do believe that this is part of the source of my mouse not working, i am stuck and have been for some time now on this and i dont know what i need to do from here, i was also thinking maybe i need a new power supply because sometimes when i first start up my computer i can tell my processor fan struggles to spin a little even after it is clean and i do clean out dust on a regular basis, but i dont know about the power supply thing, its just a guess because i think it may be pushing out as much juice as it can to power up all four of my usb connections, my processor, my fan, my video card, and my mouse which has that frozen in the middle of the screen problem when i boot up my computer before i can log into my windows account
also i am more moving away from my power supply hypothesis because i can leave my computer open for a long period of time and my mouse never freezes up, i really need some help with this, thank you for the time spent in reading all this and any help i may be offered to correcting this issue, i have a couple more questions but they are not related to this issue so i will submit this one and send my other questions in a different message, thank you again

ok first of all i would like to thank all those who have read and given input and helped me with everything, thank you all so much
second is the story i have left out from the start of my blue screen of death problem and what it may have to do with the RAM.......
two days ago i started to put together my motherboard in my new case and new RAM and power supply, first i started with the motherboard transfer, i unscrewed it all fine and put inside the new case, but before i had it laying on my bed while i prepared the screws inside the new case, i put in my cd drive and hard drive, then i installed the power supply and connected everything, when it got to the RAM i took out the one 512 and the 256 and left the other 512 as it was and if you know about the K7N2-L motherboard then you know that two RAM slots are side by side and one is a little further off, well the one that was a little further off had the 512 so i put the 2x1Gb Patriots in the slots that were together
then i started installing more of the power connectors from the power supply and i noticed on my bed one little piece and had no idea where it came from, i started looking and thinking where have i seen a similar piece before and then saw that it was a RAM clip and how it came of the slot eludes me even to this moment, i didnt think it a big deal so i took the 512 out of the slot it was in and put the 1gb in its place and the 512 in the middle of the two 1gb chips, so one 1gb and the 512 were in the slots side by side and the other 1gb chip was in the slot further away from the other two and that was the one with the broken clip, yet it ran through the memory tests and even showed up in Sandra but i am thinking now that maybe it is the reason why i have gotten 26 blue screens of death since yesterday when i first started up my system
so now i removed the 512 and put in its place the 1gb from the broken clip slot and i started it all up and went in bios and see the timing are automatically set at 2.0-3-2-5 and so i also set the frequency voltage at 2.7V just as a test and so far since i have been typing this message i see no blue screen
the broken clip slot is broken at the clip but i had it in there and when the chips was installed i tugged a little to make sure it was being held in there and the fact the memory showed up on my system lets me know that it registered but i think that because they are two different types of RAM they may not have been compatible so i was getting the blue screens, the patriots are stock timed at 2.0-3-2-5 @ 2.7V and the Corsair is 2.5-3-3-8 @ 2.5V but then i think again it is because of the broken clip slot now because before when my system had the two 512 and the one 256 chips and no broken slot clips and i had the voltage set at 2.6 and also 2.7 with no BSOD issues............
so now here i am Single Channel Ram with timings of 2.0-3-2-5 at 2.7V and no blue screen so far but that extra 512 would have been nice but oh well i guess, maybe 750 mb more RAM than i had before is not so bad.......but i am power hungry just as are the rest of you when it comes to the computer system
i wish i had one more 1bg patriot chip to test my theory but then again if it didnt work i will have an extra chip to look at which will make me go
well i guess that is it for now, it is just a time issue now to see how this 2gb works out for me, but i want 2.5 gb
my next project is new motherboard and new processor and new ddr2 or ddr3 RAM but by the time i need that upgrade ddr5 or 6 may be in use i hope in that time the prices are good and for some reason AMD gets my attention more than intel, i dont know why
well ok i have been typing this for quite some time now and no blue screen so this is good news, i guess the question now is do you think the problem was due to the broken RAM slot clip or because the Corsair RAM was timed to run at 2.5-3-3-8 at 2.5V and the Patriots' are timed at 2.0-3-2-5 at 2.7V and together they are just not compatible?
thanks again for everything
