Mouse scrolling problem

My iMac is around two years old, and I'm on my third mouse. Why? Because of the scrolling ball. The present mouse scrolls in all directions except down. But previous mouses have stopped scrolling in more than one direction. I have read articles (including the stuff from Apple Support), and I have, I think, tried just about everything (except take it apart, as one article instructed). The mice work fine for a while--then come the scrolling problems. I've tried rubbing the ball (mouse upside down) vigorously on a lint-free cloth, and I regularly (when problems inevitably arise) clean the ball with alcohol and a Q-tip. The latter does get the ball pretty clean, and it works for a while; but eventually even this doesn't correct the scrolling problem (as is the case right now). So, unless someone can give me a suggestion that might work (with Mighty Mouse), can anyone recommend a non-Apple mouse--something not too expensive but of good quality?
Thank you,
Carl Kalwaitis

Hi Carl, I used mice (Mighty included) but always went back to the trackball. You don't move your wrist and it is very precise. I have had the same trackball for three years and my Mighty Mouse (which came with my new iMac) is still in it's original packaging. I have a Logitech Marble Mouse. It has all the scrolling and other functions that the MM has. Give it a try and save yourself some exasperation.

  • PSE Organizer 13.1 - Mouse scroll problem

    Scrolling from picture to picture using the mouse scroll wheel worked fine in Organizer 13. After upgrading to 13.1 scroll forward no longer works, but scroll back still works fine. Is this a bug in the program, or something I do?

    This has already been reported and acknowledged by Adobe; you can add your vote to the discussion in the feedback forum (above link), that's how it's prioritized.
    There is no problem with your own configuration, but the problem is there and there is no fix available, only workarounds as mentionned in this discussion.
    You can get back to version 13.0 if you can't live with that, but you would lose the advantages of version 13.1, which may have been negligible for you.
    As a matter of fact, the advantages of version 13.1 were critical for some users (hdpi screen, video audio...) and negligible for other users like me. On the other hand I don't care for the scroll bug, I am quite at ease with the keyboard and I did not even notice it before it was reported. I could have reverted to 13.0 but that was not worth the trouble for me.
    I have no inside knowledge of how Adobe will fix the bug. I am convinced it's now tracked and corrected, but will there be an update version or patch before version 14, I don't know...

  • 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..

  • Magic mouse scrolling problems

    My magic mouse no longer scrolls up or down, and it cannot swipe forward and back on webpages either.  Also, it randomly zooms in (without me pressing anything on the mouse).  I have checked all the settings in the preferences and all the checkboxes are correct.  This was all working fine up until about 2 weeks ago - not sure what's gone wrong.  Can anyone help with fixing this - be much appreciated as it's driving me mad.
    Thanks
    Graeme

    Get a USB mouse first of all
    -then go into the bluetooth prefs
    -removed the mouse
    -re-add it then test it
    -same issue
    -then try a different user account
    -if same issue is there test the mouse in recovery (CMD + R) it will look like setting the mac up again
    -if issue happneds there the mouse is screwed - if it works then reinstall the OS

  • New Mighty Mouse scrolling problem

    My just-out-of-the-box Mighty Mouse will not scroll horizontally nor 360. It can't be dirty yet, and the posting referring to artnum=303446 gives instruction for what is way out of my league in the event that someone wants to recommend that approach.

    Sorry that I wasn't more clear. What I meant is that the Mouse pane in Keyboard & Mouse is new or at least different for the wireless MM. Those of us with the wired MM have two check boxes Vertical scrolling and Horizontal scrolling, while those of you with the wireless have that new pulldown menu.
    Did software come with the new wireless MM or is it just activated and made available when the new wireless MM is detected? There was a post the other day and the guy linked to a screenshot of the wireless Mouse pane. He was wondering how the rest of us could get this new pane. I said maybe it would show up one day in an OS X update. Maybe it already has, but we can't access it without a wireless MM.

  • Update causing mouse scroll problems

    cant scroll sideways since the 10.6.8 update.   wired mouse, restarted twice, fixed permissions no difference 

    Try a SMC reset and if the mouse has a ball then remove the ball and clean it. If you cannot remove it then using a clean sheet of white paper rub the mouse ball on the paper very vigorously for 30-60 seconds. The idea is to dislodge gunk on the ball.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • Mouse scroll intermittent problem

    Sometimes my mouse scroll button will not work properly and it is diffucult and annoying when trying to scroll down a page or website. I went into system preferences and adjusted the scroll button back and forth, then left it in the centre. My mouse seems to have improved but there is still a slight internittent problem with the scroll ball. I thought that I might need a new mouse but suspect that the problem may be software related and not hardware. Can anyone help with this?

    Yipeeee! Thanks guys I tried the white paper method and pressed quite hard rolling that track ball on the paper there was quite a bit of unseen dirt on there. I then wiped it over again with a clean damp cloth and my mouse is now fully functional.... good tips!

  • Why are routine processes (mouse scrolling, viewing videos, appearance of typed text) filled with pauses? I've disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins, and don't encounter this problem with other browsers.

    My problem is unique to the Firefox browser, and does not occur with Opera or IE.
    Way too often (about once a minute or so), Firefox will suffer a brief pause in performing functions, even simple ones.
    It is impossible for me to watch any video in Firefox without the picture pausing periodically. Oftentimes, text I type suffers a delay before appearing in a web form. Mouse scrolling is not very dependable at all.
    I have disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins and add-ons, yet the problem still persists. I have attempted to streamline to only the most necessary plug-ins, but to no avail.
    I love Firefox, but I don't like the choppy videos or downgrading of my productivity these problems are causing.

  • Mouse scrolling in lion problems

    I'm using a traditional mouse with a scroll wheel.  The mouse scrolling behavior is really odd in Lion and it seems to have something to do with bounce scrolling.
    Scrolling in apps like Safari works fine and is very responsive where bounce scrolling is disabled.  For apps like Xcode where bounce scrolling is enabled it feels like the the app is "catching up" to scroll movements and it has this acceleration effect.  It only seems to happen for me in apps where you are scrolling through text and it just feels sluggish to me.
    Everything felt find in Snow Leopard so I'm not sure what changed behind the scenes in Lion.  I'd just like it to work the way it did in Snow Leopoard!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    It's been moved to System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Trackpad options... button.
    Check Scroll with inertia.

  • Possible temporary fix for mouse scroll wheel problem in Lion

         This is a potential temporary fix for those users of Lion who are unable to fix the reversed mouse scroll wheel issue. I myself have a Microsoft Arc Mouse (not the touch version but the original version) and when I went into the mouse system preferences there was no checkmark box option to return the scroll wheel to its original configuration. When I called Apple about it I was told it's an issue with Lion not recognizing the mouse as being able to reverse the scroll wheel and that Microsoft will need to update the firmware to allow for this change. On a whim, I tried out my wife's Logitech mouse (can't remember the model but it's a fairly recent one) and checked the system preferences. This time there was the checkmark box to allow the scroll wheel to be returned to its original configuration and I could use the scroll wheel as normal. When I plugged my Arc Mouse back in, the scroll wheel had reverted to its original configuration of rotate the wheel down for down scroll and up for up scroll.
         So, for those of you who are unable to correct your scroll wheel through preferences, you might want to try plugging in another mouse, making the correction in system preferences, and then plug your original mouse back in.

    I mean it. Apple makes major changes in the way things have worked for years, then makes that change the default, causing 1m people to struggle. Bad Bad App le.
    There other changes like this in Lion as well, which are arbitrary and are "App le" policy now, which even App le themselves do not follow! (e.g. Cmd-Delete for "Don't Save" in a few App le applications, where 900 million people have used Cmd-<first letter of button> already, for years)
    And yes, I did have to go next door and borrow a mouse. "Why?" they said... "I have a Mac" I said. "<laughter> get a real computer" they said. App le does itself no favors by pulling this stuff.
    Many of us cannot buy new equipment when arbitrary changes are made, and "get a new driver" is a slap in the face, especially when such changes as Reversing scroll for many-millions could easily be done by making the "new way" an Option, not a default.
    Don't get me wrong, Mac and iPhone etc are way ahead of MS and all, but the rabid arrogance inside App le is App aulling.

  • Anyone else have a problem with Magic mouse scroll after Maverick update?

    Now I have upgraded to Maverick (among other minor things) my Magic Mouse scroll often doesnt work unless I close the application it stopped working in and open it again.
    Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? was there any worthwhile reason to update?

    This has happened to me, in fact, why I'm even searching in here...I need help too to fix it! It's so annoying!

  • [SOLVED]Xorg.conf, mouse config problem

    The Rapoo M765 mouse can not work properly under normal mouse configuration.
    The mouse goes beyond controll when config as below:
    hacksign@XSign [14:13:13] : ~
    >> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf
    #Section "InputClass"
    # Identifier "Mouse2"
    # MatchProduct "RAPOO RAPOO 2.4G Remote Mouse"
    # MatchIsPointer "yes"
    # MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    # Driver "mouse"
    # Option "Protocol" "auto"
    # Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
    # Option "Buttons" "7"
    # Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
    #EndSection
    When there is no any configuration, the mouse can work abnormally. Movement and right/left click work fine, but I can not use scroll wheel,and the "go forward"&"go backward" mouse key can not work too.
    (I know Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is the configuration of scroll wheel emulation.)
    The real problem is 'mouse beyond controll',the cursor goes crazyly on screen ....
    I guess it is something wrong of ButtonMapping option. But when I tried to get button number from command xev,when scroll wheel scrolles, I get something below(the scroll wheel movement is identified as a key event~):

    Thanks for reply !
    change Driver 'mouse' to Driver 'evdev',solved cursor goes beyond controll problem.
    but I still can not use scroll button and 'go forward'&'go backward' button.
    (BTW:evdev_drv.so is from local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint, and local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint package is from AUR)
    I think, maybe something wrong with my button number mapping, but I still can not get scroll button number with 'xev' command....

    olive wrote:In the config file you mentioned, all is commented; do you mean that you have problems when you have uncommented it? You should not use the mouse driver (old deprecated driver) but evdev. Try to remove xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard (same as before, this is deprecated and handled by evdev) and remove also a "joystick" driver if you have it (I have had problem with it conflicting with the evdev driver).

    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!

  • 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.
