Mouse Scrolls down on software screens, but will not scroll up

I have a wired mouse, that works fine except for scrolling back up a screen. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get it up?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It is dirty. You will need to clean the rollerball. Use a lintless cotton pad dampened with a tiny bit of denatured alcohol to roll the ball around to clean out the gunk that builds up on the tiny rollers inside. Then turn it upside down and run the ball around in all directions on a piece of paper, a clean bedsheet, or even your pants leg. When everything is good and dry again it should work until the next time it gets too dirty.

Mouse Scrolls up on software screens, but will not scroll down

My wired apple mouse will scroll back up a web page or other software screen but will not scroll down using the finger tip scroller ball - any ideas on how to make it work properly again?

alcohol and air treatment from old post worked...

TS3092 my wireless apple mouse works to move the arrow but will not scroll. how can I fix this?

my wireless mouse moves the pointer but does not scroll, how can I fix this?

Check the setting in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > mouse options.. button > check scrolling.
If you have an older mouse with the trackball, it might just need cleaning. Turn the mouse over and rub the trackball vigorously on paper or microfiber cloth.

New Magic mouse just paired with Macbook pro but will not scroll

I have a MacBook Pro that has never been bluetooth paired with anything. The magic mouse and computer pair and it shows everything is ok, but the mouse doesn't scroll. If I physically move it it will click, but otherwise it does not respond. I updated all of the software and have OS 10.6.8. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse Check scrolling.

Ipod will reset but will not scroll

I have just installed a new click wheel ribbon on my ipod nano 5th gen. It will reset, but will not scroll when it comes up with language selection. Any ideas?

If you have dropped the iPod and the click wheel hit something "hard" it may have jammed it slightly under the body. My daughter did this. Not for the faint at heart; but if you did drop it and it jammed, thus keeping the scroll wheel from moving in all directions, I use a thin, sharp tool (sewing awl) on the side that was jammed, and lifted the body every so slightly, and the click wheel went back in place. (I only did this as a last resort or it was buy a new iPod for her!!)
If this is not the issue; a replacement is needed.

Green Excel logo on screen but will not open or quit?

Excel will not open or close on my iMac. The Greeen Excel logo opens but just remains on the screen while the spinning ball spins endlessly. Cannot be closed by restarting or "quitting" from the Dock.

I'd recommned re-posting on the Office for Mac Product Forums.

Software installs but will not run

The software installs but when you try to open it the window flashes on the screen for a split second and then goes away. Has anyone seen this problem before? Please help!

My anti virus was already disabled. I uninstalled Quick Time and made sure there was nothing else running like a fire wall or anything. I tried to install it again and it would install the ipod but not the itunes.
I installed everything on a second computer and it went off without a hitch.
Any ideas??

Apple TV is shows on screen but will not do anything.

Hey,
Can anyone help me with the problem i am having, when i plug in my apple TV it shows on the screen but i cant do anything. I cant restart it at all or move and do anything. If anyone has any problem fixing it i would be all ears

Welcome to the Apple Community T.McDonald.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

Software purchased but will not install?

I purchased Pages ... it shows under my purchases, but when it started to install I lost internet connectivity ... now it will not install.

Ok.. that's what I needed to know.
Try re downloading the app ...
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

Macbook turns on to gray startup screen but will not load and shuts down after about 45sec -1 min

Hi There,
My Macbook pro has been experiencing some craziness the last couple of days.
Yesterday it was sort of slow and I was experiencing the rainbow spinning wheel between all applications.
The battery was very low so I charged it and attempted to turn it on today.
Now, when I turn it on I am experiencing the gray startup screen with the spinning geat and what sounds like
the CD drive going ( I believe I have a disk in there). After less than 45 sec to 1 minute the machine just shuts off.
I have tried the safety start and a few other startup methods, but always the same result.
Any ideas or should I go strait to Apple hospital?
Thanks-

Did you find any help to this? I have the same problem!

L540 shuts down/starts up OK but WILL NOT RESTART

I have a new L540 that arrived inoperatve - power button did not work. Sent it back to depot, and after 2 weeks received it back with a new system board and 3 other parts replaced. After loading Windows 7 without any problems, the first time I went to reboot I found that it hangs after shutting down - in other words, it appears to be shut down, but backlight is still on and there it sits, until I hold power button for 4 seconds. I can hear (very faintly) 5 short beeps as soon as it is down. If I try it in safe mode, the 5 beeps are at full volume.
If I choose "shutdown," it shuts down fine, and comes back up fine after hitting the power button. No difference whether it is on battery, AC, or AC with no battery installed.
I have done all updates including the BIOS, no difference. I have pulled the CMOS battery to reset BIOS settings to defaults. Clues anyone? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just to rule out any OS or driver issue, I'd suggest you try to enable boot logging in the F8 menu (where you can also enable Safe Mode). Which will cause Windows to log both the startup and the shutdown or restart process to C:\BOOTLOG.TXT.
Then try to restart the system. When it hangs, power it down and power it up again, but this time do NOT enable boot logging (it would overwrite the file you just created). Then have a look at the last few lines of BOOTLOG.TXT - if there is no obvious sign about some driver that is about to be unloaded at that time or you are unsure, you can post the last couple of lines here.

Mackbook will get to loading screen but will not load

hello, my mackbook whenever i tturn it on will go to the gray loading screen and just stop. it looks like it is trying to load but it doesn't. Help please!

The same thing happened to me too, yesterday. I think the hard drive is probably shot, which is what you said also, so what did you do to your computer? Did you install a new hard drive? That's what I'm thinking of doing, and if you did, where did you get the new hard drive and how much was it?

My macbook pro (early 10") is stuck at gray apple loading screen but will not go further.

I've done start-up in safe-mode but it just shuts down afterward. What should i do?

Try Safe Mode first ...
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
If you can't boot into Safe Mode successfully, insert your install disc so you can verify and repair the startup disk using Disk Utility.

I have a ipod touch 8gb when i plug it in to charge it just blinks from the apple screen to the battery screen but will not charge what could be wrong it was fine yesterday?

I have a ipod touch 8gb . When I plug it in to charge it just blinks from the apple screen to the battery screen what could be wrong?

Maybe:
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
