My trackpad won't allow me to scroll up and down with two fingers

my trackpad won't allow me to scroll up and down as usual .

Check your settings in System Preferences>Trackpad.
Your trackpad may need a thorough cleaning. That often will restore functionality.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bat for a FREE evaluation.
Ciao.

TS3048 can't scroll up and down with wireless mouse, I have checked setting and everything looks good. Any suggestions on what else I can check?

My wireless mouse has stopped scrolling up and down. I have checked my settings and everything looks good. Any suggestions on what else to check?

Hi:
I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again. The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair. If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected. If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin.
Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables. I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger. I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one. If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense). I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items. When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens. The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info." At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section. You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad.
After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options). Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

My Magic Mouse is not moving the pointer on the screen but it allows me to scroll up and down by sliding my fingers on the mouse.

My Magic Mouse is not moving the pointer on screen. However, it is allowing me to scroll text up and down by dragging my fingers on the mouse. How can I recover full use? I am using a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. All indications are that the mouse is connected through the Bluetooth connection and the batteries have significant life in them.

Have you tried this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#7
Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.

Why isn't my tracker pad allowing me to scroll up and down

How come I can't use my tracker with my fingers? I must have pushed a button somewhere. Can anyone help get me back on Track!

System Preferences >Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom
Enable "Scroll direction natural:".
Best.

Scrolling up and down with ctrl + i and ctrl + k

I would like to set scrolling to ctrl + i and ctrl + j for up and down scroll respectively. Is there any way to customize these?

Ctrl+I (web console) and Ctrl+J (K?) are already used for different actions and it might not be possible to remap them in such a way that they will always work to scroll the page.

I am unable to scroll up and down with my mouse when using email.

When I load email, most of the time I am unable to scroll with my Magic1 button mouse. I can scroll just fine in any other application. I am using an iMac OSX 10.9. If I load any other program, I can scroll just fine.

First, try logging in as another user and see if the problem persists. The Guest user would be sufficient.
If it doesn't happen in another account, we can dig into yours to try to figure out what is causing it.
Second (if it fails in other account), boot into Safe Mode and see if it still occurs. Safe Mode disables third-party startup items which may be causing the problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
If it doesn't happen in Safe Mode, then we can look at what is running in the background and guess at what might be causing that behavior.
Note that sometimes problems like this can be resolved by logging out and back in or by a restart.

After installing FF4 scrolling up and down with the touch-pad doesn't work on my Acer Aspire anymore.

Neither does it work to browse forwards or backwards with the double gesture. Zooming in and out works fine though.
Everything still works in IE8 and in Google Chrome.
The touch-pad uses an ALPS-driver.

Thanks, I don't have the file tp4table.dat on my computer. Currently I've reversed to 3.6 and will run it as long as it works. Really don't like 4.0 anyway... May be forced to use IE again if I don´t find anything better. Tried Chrome and worked well at first but now back and forth doesn't work there either and that's so annoying.

Problems with numbers, slow and scroll up and down with hik-ups?

imac with lion and have problems with numbers, slowly although i have an i7 8gb 2 TB Imac 27inch. what seems to be the problem?
thanks

The problem is that iWork apps were coded with feets not with brains.
We just may hope that the next upgrade will be coded a better way.

Calendar Month View won't scroll up and down

This is a very minor, but strange issue with Calendar.
I can scroll up and down in Calendar month view on my MacBook Air, but on my Mac Pro, I can only switch months by clicking the" >" button or "Command+Left Arrow".
Anyone know why?
Thanks.

I'm using Yosemite on both.
I did a little research and saw some comments that mentioned that vertical scrolling works with the trackpad, but not with mouse scroll wheels... so there's that. Doesn't make sense, but it's possible.

TS1363 What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either?

What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either? I can simply unplug it from my pc and after a while it runs down and works fine after a charge. Wanting to clear data and sell but nothing seems to work. The ipod was originally set up on a different computer and with a different I tunes account as well. Would that make any difference?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:

Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

Scrambled display when I use the trackpad to scroll up and down in Safari

Whenever I use two fingers to scroll up and down in Safari, the display gets scrambled. It gets worse, the faster I scroll. The nature of the distortion is that sections of the display are duplicated horizontally which "covers up" the section where the duplication takes place. This does not happen when I scroll up and down using the arrow keys, or if I scroll with the arrows on the right side of the browser window.
Another thing I have noticed is that some videos I watch online have intermittent white sections flashing in.

It is certain that some people are having problems, all I can confirm is that my 2.0GHz MacBook does not seem to have this problem.
However, after having looked at this thread and another link it seems that a lot of the posts about problems are coming from users of the MacBook Pros and the 2.4GHz MacBooks. Thus, this makes me wonder if the CPU speed might have something to do with this issue. Along with the CPU another issue might be heat (which would seem to be a greater concern with both the MacBook Pro and the 2.4GHz MacBook) and whether the affected systems are equipped with more than 2GB DRAM and whether than DRAM is third-party or from Apple (i.e. these problems could be caused by issues with the DRAM).
Of course, no one can yet say where the problems may be but system "overheating" and/or DRAM could be involved. When I write "overheating" I'm not suggesting user abuse, just that this may be a temperature sensitive issue.
For the record my MacBook has all of the latest firmware, trackpad, and system updates and is the standard 2.0GHz model with Apple-issued 2GB DRAM and 160GB HD. Below is my hardware overview from Apple's System Profiler:

Firefox keeps remembering a website and won't allow me to log out and will not return to login page. been to cookies, saved passord options, nothing helps

It might be that you are logged in with HTTP authentication (either basic or digest). This authentication is arranged by the browser, so you would have seen a pop-up dialog asking for a user name and password while logging in. It seems that these are cached by the browser and it requires you to restart the browser to log out...

http://www.tolaris.com/2009/09/08/logging-out-of-http-auth-with-firefox/
Because I found that having to restart the browser quite annoying I stumbled on this question and also on the HTTP Logout add-on that allows you to log out without restarting your browser. Not many sites use HTTP Authentication, but you might give it a try.

Screen scrolls up and down / left to right

My wife has the old white glossy 13" macbook. About 4 years old, but with her service contract, has the latest software and all that jazz.
Our one year old got to hitting a bunch of keys on her keyboard and disrupted some settings, that we can't figure out how to get back to normal.
Now, when my wife uses the trackpad, the whole screen will move with her finger movements...up and down, and left and right...
How do we stop this?
Also, everything on the screen is almost doubled in size as well? What is the normal screen settings for a 13" macbook?
I hope that is clear. Not sure how else to really explain what has happened.
Much thanks for any input!

You have accidentally triggered the Zoom feature.
If you hold down ctrl and scroll on the trackpad upwards with two fingers, the screen will zoom larger and you'll get the effects you describe.
To zoom back, hold down ctrl and scroll on the trackpad DOWNWARDS with two fingers until everything on the screen becomes normal again.
This is actually a useful feature, but you're not the first to get caught out this way

Can't scroll up and down in Safari

Ever since updating to Safari 6.1 (running on Lion) I've been having problems using the find function (command-f). After I use the find function, Safari either won't let me scroll up and down on the page, or it will let me scroll but the text becomes inverted, garbled and in other words impossible to read. The only solution is to quit Safari and re-open. Has anyone else had this issue and do you know of a fix??

The same thing is happening to me, but not when I use the command + F shortcut. It just happens randomly. Pages won't scroll, and if they do, parts of the page turn upside down and are all garbled. I've attached some screen shots. I was worried this was a virus or malaware, but it's good to hear that's it's Safari's problem. Have you two figured out any solutions yet?
