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.

My Apple wireless mouse only scrolls one way. I've tried cleaning the

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.

Hi Ralph,
When you have ticked the screen sharing option in iChat>video>screen sharing and your buddy "high lights" (one click) your screen name the screen sharing icon will be displayed in black on his end indicating "enabled".
This way he can ask for your permission to share your screen.
When your contact has not ticked the screen sharing option the screen sharing icon in your contact list will be grey.
When your contact has ticked the screen sharing option as well the screen sharing icon in your contact list will be black as well.
Of course all other requirements for iChat screen sharing have to be met.
More important: I wish you a very happy new year!

The small track ball on top of my mouse will only scroll up, not down now.

well it used to work...any ideas why it won't scroll down anymore? its just a few months old.
can the mouse get dirty inside? how to take the base off to clean?

Hi Craig, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
There is a post, somewhere, on taking it apart. Not for the faint of heart.
Standard advice, if you search on clean, is a lint free cloth dampened w water or alcohol / disconnect / turn upside down / roll vigorously in all directions. Maybe blow out w caned air. If it is still under warranty, take it in and let them do it. No luck then you get a new one.
Good Luck, JP

Cleaning Up The Apple Mighty Mouse

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

Mighty Mouse scrolling one-way

I use a USB Mighty Mouse. It has worked fine till just recently. Now it will only scroll using the top button upward on a page, not downward. I've restarted and cleared permissions and am unable to come up with a fix. Any suggestions?

i use a clorox disinfecting wipe, lay that on a clean tabletop then turn the mouse over and move it 360 and also up down with the scroller on the wipe and then i usually try to dry out the wipe and the gently dry off the scroller and usually that does the trick.
i forgot what solutions work, i was reading about some other methods, im sure someone else will chime in with more =)

Ok, So I just purchased a song, and we it got done loading. I went to listen to it and It wouldn't play at all. This isn't the only one I bought a song that will only play half way. What can I do to fix this?

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:

TS2662 trackpad and mouse will not scroll

On 27" iMac using OS 10.7.4, trackpad and mouse will not scroll or swipe, can point with both, click only with mouse, scroll only with keys on keyboard. What have I done now??? They are all paired with good batteries. Have checked in settings and they are enabled to scroll.

In Lion the scrolling is natural i.e. reversed to the way that computers typically scroll. Think of the scroll as grabbing the page an moving it either up or down vs moving the scroll bar down up or down. Also, the scroll bars are "hidden" by default and only show up when you are scrolling.
Are you using and Apple mouse? If you go to the system preferences and then to the "mouse" section there are options to change the natural scrolling. And if you go to System Preferences and then to "general" you can set it to show or hide the scroll bars.
If this is not what the issue is let me know and let me know what mouse you are using because there is something else that it could be.

HT2693 My Mac OS X 10.4.8 mouse will not scroll UP. Other than that, it works fine. I've cleaned it, but it's still an unhappy mouse. What can I do?

My Mac OS X 10.4.8 wireless mouse will not scroll UP. It's been cleaned and works well in all other aspects. Is it just time to get another one, or can this problem be fixed?

I used iPad forum because the only other choice was iMac..... there is no forum for the Mouse. Suggestions as to where I can go?
Thanks

Mouse Won't Scroll Both Ways

The wireless Apple mouse on my late 2007 Mac Book all of a sudden will only scroll down, not up. It was that way this morning in 10.4.11 and still this afternoon after upgrading to 10.5.1.
Any thoughts on how to get my up-scroll back?

Hi John: Try cleaning the mouse ball as indicated in the Apple article below.

In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll. Is there a way to adjust this?

In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll. Is there a way to adjust this? This is the way I scrolled for MIDI editing on Logic 9

Hi cris2121, assuming you're using a mouse from apple, go to >System Preferences<
it's here where one can configure a mouse device.
Additionally you can also configure Scrubbing in Logic: "When in scrub mode, you can slowly move the playhead in the Tracks Window and the Audio (and optional MIDI) will be played back. The playback speed depends on how fast you move the Playhead in either direction."
Have a nice day!

Photos in my from my iPhone have same numbering as photos from my dig camera. They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name. Help?

Photos in my from my iPhone have the same numbering as photos from my digital camera. They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name. How do I get them all to save on my ext hard drive and hope do I prevent this numbering overlap in the future? I'm really hoping I don't have to go through and manually rename every single picture. Thanks.

How are you backing up the photos? The best way is to backup the library itself as that will preserve your organizational efforts as well as all metadata like keywords, titles, faces, places, books, etc.
You can use a backup application that does incremental backups. Thus only the first backup is a full one and subsequent backups just copy those files that are new or changed. I use Synk Pro. The lower cost version, Synk, will do the same job. Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com.
OR: upload your camera to a folder on the Desktop. There you can rename the files to something that is more informative than just the file name. I use the date (international format) along with a brief desc: 2007-1-20-adian1stbday-001.jpg. File renaming apps can also be found at MacUpdate.com. Also you can give the folder an informatve name which will become the Event name when you import the folder of photos into iPhoto.
