Mouse won't point/click do gestures since Lion OSX update!

I bought the new LION X and installed it on my iMac last night and now my WIRELESS MOUSE will not work to it's fullest functions: SCROLLING
left - right up - down. I called the dummies over at support and since all they do is read from a script they typically do not provide the best
information which is appalling. They said I could take it in to Genuis Bar and switch out, but when i got to the Apple store the mouse in question
worked fine w/their devices, it also worked fined when creating a new user and using it through there but it will not work in my main account! ***?!
So I called Support again and they have me on hold but apparently they don't know what they issue it. Come on Apple!

BINGO! I found the issue out ON MY OWN though i seriously wish i had come here sooner to get the information.
I went through 2 different support agents w/the last one sending me over to a SENIOR tech agent (which is english for REAL TECH AGENT) and was on hold for 20 min and found the solution by coming here!
System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Mouse Options.. button > check scrolling.
talk about paying something for nothing! I made a trip to the store for no reason and spent all day trying to get this to work, why don't they have real support people instead of these people looking for the resolution inside book help, clearly their books don't provide basic information enough to trouble shoot customers issues!

  • Mouse won't double click

    I recently upgraded to CS6. Ever since, my mouse has lost it's ability to double-click. Anyone have a clue? I have not changed my mouse settings. I also unplugged the mouse and tried my bluetooth mouse. No change. All the mice won't double-click.

    Read on another forum that slowing down the mouse click speed may help. Set the speed even lower than the default AND IT WORKED! Yea!

  • Magic Mouse won't right click on files, but works fine otherwise. 10.6.8

    My Magic mouse just suddenly seemd to stop right clicking on files. I can right click on blank sapces in finder or on the desktop and it gives me the usual drop down menu but as soon as I try and right click or ctrl+click on a file there's just nothing. Can't seem to find any similar problems on google. Any ideas?

    Hi, yes. The right click would work at start-up until I click on 'always allow' for permissions for google drive, then it dissappears
    Unfortunately I found no other workaround other than to switch to the other views (although I strongly dislike working in the other views). But I just use Drive in my internet browser when I do use it, so it's okay for me to uninstall it. Maybe it's something to contact google about so they can fix it on there side.

  • My Magic Mouse won't double click

    I cannot double click with my new magic mouse (or older wired logitech mouse) to open anything, whether it be in finder, the desktop, iTunes etc...
    I'm sure that it isn't the fault of the iMac as there has been no update or change of settings.

  • Mouse won't right click

    I've just bought an apple mouse, and although I've gone into preferences and set the right hand side as 'secondary button', it does not right click. Can anyone help out? I'm using it with a MacBook Pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.4.
    Thanks!

    Oops - never mind. I restarted and now it works fine.

  • Mouse won't left click or right click

    Mighty Mouse (wired) has stopped recognising left click and right click. All clicks on the mouse are interpreted as a click on the scroll wheel ("centre click") which brings up Dashboard and prevents normal use of the mouse. Is there a way to fix this, or is the mouse dead?
    I have unplugged the mouse a few times, but no change. The side buttons still work and the scroll wheel still operates normally, just no left or right click. My spare mouse is an older style (from a G4) so can't access the relevant preferences to re-map how the Might Mouse should operate (eg, to change centre click to operate the normal left click function). Any suggestions? It's still under warranty and has already been replaced once for a different problem.

    You could try cleaning it:
    Use a clean lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water. Wipe the ball and the surrounding area, making sure to rotate the ball itself to ensure complete coverage. If the scrolling feels rough or if the scroll ball isn't scrolling up, down, or side-to-side, hold the mouse upside-down and roll the ball vigorously while cleaning it to help dislodge any particles that may have collected on the internal hardware.
    Let us know if this helps,

  • Mouse won't control click

    Unless I hold down the control key. I switch left and right button and it still does not work.  Develpoer 3.2 Open office 3.3.1 on machine only changes except iTines 10.2.2

    Welcome to the Discussions Headdragon,
    Are you using an Apple mouse?
    Third party mice, like the Microsoft one I used to use for gaming, require you to install their own software first. They normally add another control panel to System Preferences. You then use this to set the function of your right (or other) buttons.

  • My music won't play on my stereo since downloading recent update

    I recently purchased a new iPod touch. Used it a couple of times in my home stereo and work stereo with an apple dock adaptor that I purchased for my iPhone. The music came through the speakers for both stereos no problems but since the most recent update whenever I connect it will play for a couple of seconds then come up with the message that it is unsupported through this device, continue to charge but the music comes through the iPod and not the stereo. Is there a bug with the recent download or is it a fault with my iPod?

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Are you using an adopter to go form the iPod to the dock? If so try another one.
    - Contact the dock manufacturer/go to their suppor site. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • MacBook Pro won't read Sandisk SDHC cards since Lion 10.7.1 update

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I know there are dozens of posts about SD cards not working with MacBook pros, but mine seems to have started when I installed the latest Lion update.
    I have a high-end 13" early 2011 MBP and the cards I'm having trouble with are all Sandisk 4GB SDHC. Two are 'Extreme III's" and one is an Extreme II. The card reader is showing up in System Profiler, and a really old 2GB Sandisk card gets read fine, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the MBP hardware.
    Similarly, I can read the cards fine via a USB adapter, so it's not the cards that are causing the problem.
    I had successfully imported photos from the cards before upgrading to Lion, and also before installing the 10.7.1 update. So, it looks like the problem may be linked with the update, but this is purely an educated guess.
    I've tried resetting the SMC to no avail.
    Has anyone else experienced something like this?

    I've got the same problem. I've got a late 2010 MacBook Pro unibody running Mac OS 10.7.1 on it. I installed the 10.7.1 updated most likely on 8/17/11 the day after it was released by Apple. Since then I was able to read SDHC cards as I shot a number of photos and videos to my cards and they worked fine.
    I'm not sure what has changed since then, it wasn't as simple as the 10.7.1 update then it didn't work. This is the problem I'm having below, just started to experience this on 9/2/11. I tested with two 32GB SDHC cards, one 16GB SDHC card and one 2GB SD card. All cards were manufactured by Transcend.
    FAIL:
    * SDHC cards (16GB and 32GB) will not mount and isn't recognized by the MBP via the built-in SD card slot
    * SDHC cards (16GB and 32GB) will not mount and isn't recognized by the MBP via SanDisk 2.0 card reader connected via a short USB cable.
    * If I put any SDHC card into a SanDisk USB 2.0 reader that is connected to my USB hub (I gave it a try in case there was a power problem with the MBP USB system) the card is not recognized either.
    * Even Disk Utility will not see the card when inserted via built-in card slot or a reader.
    SUCCESS:
    * SD cards (2GB) mount fine when inserted either in the built-in SD card slot or via my SanDisk USB 2.0 reader.
    * If I leave the SDHC card in my camera (Canon 60D) and connect the camera to my MBP via USB I can import the images via Aperture.
    * If I put the SDHC card into the memory card slot reader of my HP inkjet printer (it has multiple card slots for different types) the card will mount normally like it is supposed to via the two failed methods above.
    I'm also sending this info to Apple but wanted to post here since there are three inconvenient work-arounds.

  • Apple TV won't stream movies from itunes since installing latest update

    I recently updated my Apple TV and have since been unable to stream movies from my iTunes library. Itunes and all other software is up to date. I even downloaded Mountain Lion OS just in case. Netflix and movie trailers work fine. Streaming from my computer seems to be the only problem.

    I have since purchased a new apple tv which had worked fine until the update was offered. I downloaded the update and the problem happens again on a brand new machine.
    Since then I have spent 2 hrs on the phone with apple without results. Followed by an hour on the phone with Linksys checking network issues. I was just wondering if this is a problem for anyone else? It's not a single device so it has to be a problem with the update intalled.
    Linksys believes the update corrupted the apple tv's firmware. Has anyone else been experiencing problems?

  • My iMac won't go into sleep mode since Lion

    When I select sleep from the menu the screen powers doen but the computer is still running in the background without properly going to sleep... Is anyone else having issues with this?
    Thanks
    Jamie

    I've checked through my apps, I can't seem to find anything that would cause this. For some apps that have internet access I've turned them off.
    I tried going into Activity Monitor and quitting all the running processes, including those for Finder and stuff, most of these system processes starts up again. But even when I have quit everything that I can quit, the computer won't sleep.
    I've tried disconnecting the internet, unplugging all my extras and shutting off Time Machine, but still insomnia. I've tried logging into the guest account but still insomnia.
    I went to Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences>System Configuration and deleted the com.apple.PowerManagement and the com.apple.AutoWake.plist, rebooting and testing. But still insomnia. I've also deleted the User>Library>Preferences>com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and still no succes.
    I've removed all the widgets, removed all startup items, and still no success.
    It's not really a big issue, but the fact that I can't find the cause is driving me crazy!
