My Apple wireless mouse only scrolls one way.  Any ideas on how I can set it up so it scrools up and down?

I am having the same problem also.  I've tried cleaning the ball, but still not working.  This happened a couple of times before....and by accident I hit some button and it started working again.  So frustrating........sorry I'm not any help. Just venting.

  • Scolling on wireless mouse. only works one way

    from time to time, my mouse will not scroll up, but will continue to scroll down. This is when i use firefox (as my main browser). In the past, I'd oddly open up safari and scroll and problem solved. but not now.. not sure if its a hardware or software issue. I have gone into settings for mouse and reset as well..

    It's possible that the scroll ball just needs cleaning. Take a look here:

  • Wireless Mouse only scrolls up since installing Lion. How do i fix?

    I've already cleaned it and change batteries.  my daughter is having some problem with her macbook trackpad.  only goes one way.

    I do not have a trackpad on this computer. it is happening on my daughter's macbook.  I have done everything suggested reagarding mouse settings, cleaning mouse, etc.  i am thinking it is a glitch in lion. i recently unchecked the box "move content in direction of finger scrolling..." because it restricts scrolling to from bottom up.  if i have to pick one way, it would be from top down.  i see in forums other people with this problem. Apple, are you listening?

  • My mouse will only scroll one way

    My mouse will only scroll down and not up, it has done this before and self cured after a few days. any suggestions?

    I assume you are referring to a mouse with the scroll button/wheel in the middle?
    I have seen this a few times with more than one such mouse. I have "cured" it by putting some pressure (e.g. considerably more than normal) downward on that scroll wheel and moving it in the direction that it is no longer moving in (e.g. scrolls only down but not up, or vice versa). By applying a fair amount of pressure (don't break it but it's much more pressure than normal for a short time), it seems to suddenly "catch" and then works fine.

  • Just updated to Lion.  Wireless mouse only scrolls down. Hmmm?

    My wireless mouse will not scroll up, only down.  Is there a need to clean the scroll ball?

    Probably.

  • My MacBook keyboard and track pad stopped functioning after pairing an Apple wireless mouse and keyboard. Any suggestions?

    I deleted the mouse by selecting it in the bluetooth options and clicking the minus tab. I went ahead and reinstalled OS X right afterwards. Right now I am having to use a USB mouse and keyboard. I disconnected both prior to start up. I get a widow that shows a demonstration on how to install batteries into a wireless mouse only way to pass that screen was to reattach the USB mouse. Then with a fresh startup no resolve.

    Hi Malky H.,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
    Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
    You can find this information here:
    OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
    Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.

  • Apple wireless mouse does not reconnect after changing batteries

    The wireless mouse on my iMac quit working after I changed batteries. There was no response to mouse clicks, or movement, or scrolling. Eventually I connected a USB mouse, did an orderly shutdown of the system, rebooted, and the mouse started working again.
    The long story ...
    The first time I encountered this problem was the first time I changed batteries in the Apple Wireless Mouse that came with the iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo I purchased in January 2010. (The OS is 10.6.2 without updates.) I switched the mouse on, the green light on the bottom of the mouse blinked for awhile (at least a minute), but clicking or moving the mouse got no response. The new batteries were Eneloop 1.2v rechargeables. I tried clicking and moving the mouse several times over a period of ten or fifteen minutes, nothing.
    I started searching the web for clues about what to do and maybe a half hour or so later I tried the mouse again and it worked.
    A few days later I wanted to see if the problem was reproducible. I don’t remember now whether I removed the batteries and reinserted them or just power cycled the mouse, but again the mouse quit working. The green light would blink for awhile, about a minute, then would go off completely. I took this to mean the mouse was searching for the Bluetooth network, not finding it, and giving up. Over the period of half an hour or more I tried switching the mouse off and back on several times. The green light would blink, but nothing more.
    I started searching for tips about reconnecting an Apple wireless mouse after changing batteries. I ran across a (2005) discussion on MacRumors forums titled “Wireless mouse troubleshooting problem...” The symptom was a little different, the mouse was partially functional. In this discussion some contributors thought weak batteries could be to blame. So I replaced the rechargeable batteries with new alkaline batteries. Still no go.
    I attached a USB mouse and looked at the Bluetooth preferences pane. I was surprised to see the Apple Wireless Mouse was listed there with status paired and connected. Still at this point switching the mouse off and on would produce blinking light on the mouse, but no functionality.
    I tried various things in the Bluetooth preferences to see if I could get the mouse connection to restart. When I tried to delete the mouse connection there was an alert saying this was the only mouse connected, was I sure I wanted to disconnect. I said yes, but nothing changed in the Bluetooth preferences pane. I tried unchecking the Bluetooth “On” box, etc. Eventually I only succeeded in losing response to the keyboard as well.
    I attached a USB keyboard, shutdown the system, and rebooted. I didn’t know if having the USB keyboard and mouse plugged in would interfere with the wireless devices, but it did not. After the reboot both the wireless keyboard and the mouse were functional again.
    Since then I have tried removing the batteries briefly a couple of more times to see if the problem would recur. I actually put the rechargeable batteries back in. Both times the connection was remade as soon as I clicked the mouse. I also now have seen the Apple support article about setting favorite Bluetooth devices http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21371 . I'll try that if this issue comes up again.

    Hi, is this a question" Post?
    or are you just offering an insight into your Mouse Issue?
    Generally and at times we all have little idiosyncrasies appearing with the running of our Macs.
    I use the same Logitech BT with my MBP. MB & iBook..(not at the same time) Only ever had one issue
    and the cure was to completely Delete the mouse from BT -> Repair Permissions & Reboot then Re Install the BT mouse..Ihave just put a new set of batteries in the Logitech (only 2nd set ever)...L

  • 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.

  • Why is my boot camp setup stuck at Apple Wireless Mouse?

    Well I finally got Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro and when I try to put Bootcamp on the Windows side it gets stuck at the instalation. It's been on Apple Wireless Mouse for a good bit now. Did I mess up somehow?

    The wireless mice you're buying.... are they 2.4GHz wireless ones (the ones that come with their own micro-dongle) or Bluetooth?  If they're the 2.4GHz wireless ones, go buy yourself a good bluetooth one.  Your Mac has bluetooth in it and can connect to one of these mice without the need to use the dongle that comes with them.  I've seen a quite a bit of issues (jerky movement due to low battery too far away or other movement problems) with the non-bluetooth wireless ones.
    Also, be aware that if the mice you're using are laser based, the movement will be laggy and jerky if they're not used on the proper surface.  Only the more expensive ones have better laser systems in them that can be used on multiple surfaces, but still not all.

  • Anybody using an Apple wireless mouse on the Mac Mini ?

    Just bought the bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard for my new Mac mini core due. The performance of the wireless mouse is disappointing. I believe the timing gap between the hand movement with the cursor movement on the screen is far too long so it is difficult to control the mouse smoothly. I have been using radio type wireless mouse on other PCs and the Apple wireless mouse is the worst mouse I have ever used. Don't know whether anybody here has smiliar experience. Any recommendation to retify or improve this?? I'm happy with the new Mac mini though, and the wirelss keyboard is only okay ( it loses connection with the Mac occassionally even in short distance).

    I had a same trouble in my Core Duo 1.66. I posted the same message in Apple Japan Discussions. There is no reply. Then, I checked U.S. Discussions and find your message.
    First, I think a low battery issue in Apple wireless mous, but not. The mous was working for Mini G4. I asked replacement the Mini, then I got another new one. It had the same trouble.
    I found It depends on a distance between Mini and the mous.
    <30cm, it worked perfect.
    <div class="jive-quote">30, <50cm, it did not work anytime, cursor movement was not smooth.
    1m, it did not work smooth, every time cursor was skipping on the monitor.</div>
    I tried it on two new Minis. Mini G4, it works perfectly even it is >5m.
    I believe that it is bletooth issue.
    Could you check the distance dependance between Mini and the mous.
    Finally, I returned the Core Duo 1.66 and refund. If This issue is solved, New Mini performance will be good enough for me.

  • Can anyone explain why my Apple Wireless mouse annoyingly disconnects every 4 or 5 minutes or so? It then remains disconnected for about 20 seconds before reconnecting again? Batteries are good but at a loss ... worked fine for year!

    Can anyone please explain why my Apple wireless mouse keeps disconnecting from my imac? The batteries are good and the mouse in good clean order. Never had an issue previoulsy but now every 4 or 5 minutes the mouse diconnects and takes 20 seconds or so to connect again. Anyone else experienced this one?
    Thanks
    Jon.

    Some folk have reported a similar issue apparently caused by the batteries being a bit loose in their box. The suggested fix for that is to insert a thin piece of cardboard between the battery cover and the batteries.
