  • Logitech mouse scroll wheel broken in Lion?

    After installing Lion, I can't scroll album-by-album in iTunes Cover Flow with my Logitech USB mouse's scroll wheel. If I flick it fast, it will scroll a few albums, but one click at a time never works.
    "One click at a time" works in the Finder Cover Flow, and also in Safari.

    I found this while looking for an answer for a friend. My Mouse preference pane has all the settings you'd expect but his is missing the "Move content in the direction of finger movement" setting. I've attached a screenshot of his settings below.

  • Mouse Scroll Wheel Broken in Commenting Pane

    Hello,
    In Acrobat XI Pro, the mouse scroll wheel does not work for me in the Comments List area of the Comment pane. I've read other posts where users are reporting the same problem. This worked in Acrobat X.
    I'm a technical writer and frequently get upwards of 50 comments in a PDF that I need to scroll through. It is a huge time waster to use the arrow keys or move my mouse to click. Adobe, is there a fix for this problem? I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and I've tried two different mice.
    Thanks!
    Justin

    Found the problem.  For years the mouse portion of my xorg.conf said
    protocol    PS/2
    ... as noted previously, that always worked, including scroll wheel usage.  But a little hunting turned up the advice to change it to IMPS/2 and now it works again.  For the record, the complete entry now says:
    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier    "Maus"
        Driver        "mouse"
        Option        "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
        Option        "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option        "CorePointer"
        Option        "Buttons"    "5"

  • "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" is broken

    Hello,
    Since updating to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion this morning, the "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" feature is broken.
    In the mouse control panel the checkbox for "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" is definitely checked. The default Control ^ key is selected. I verified I'm hitting the correct key on the keyboard using the keyboard viewer.
    I've tried using this with 2 finger scrolling on my trackpack as well. I've also tried turning off most of the trackpack geustures.
    I tried searching these forums prior to posting and found replies telling people with various different situations to turn this feature off. I want it on. I use it constantly.
    I have a MacBook Pro Aluminum 13-Inch Mid 2010
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
    Any advise would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hello. Original poster here. I can confirm a few things after observing for a few days and trying stuff.
    1) The Universal access fixes did nothing. I set & reset those settings til I was blue in the face.
    2) I tried a "Repair Permissions" with the Disk Utility. No luck.
    3) It works intermitently. After sleeping sometimes it works. After plugging into my external monitor sometimes it works on the external monitor but then if I unplug it won't work again. After a reboot somtimes it works, then after sleeping stops working. Kinda strange. When it works it works from both my external USB mouse and the trackpad, so I don't think it's the hardware.
    I don't have Time Machine configured - been using Carbonite, but they're not compatible with Lion so might have to get Time Machine running anyway - but it's not a fix per se, since this oughta work all the time.

  • Illustrator CC 17.1 Alt + Scroll Wheel seems laggy and broken

    I upgraded to illustrator CC 17.1 Yesterday and the scroll wheel zoom seems completely broken.
    Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing this? It is a huge issue as I use this a lot during the day.
    Is there anytime line for a fix if that has been noticed? Also is there a way to roll back my upgrade?
    Thanks

  • Mighty Mouse bluetooth: scroll wheel in Vista 64 bit doesn't work

    I Installed Vista 64 bit on my Mac Pro.
    My bluetooth mighty mouse has been recognized as an hid mouse. It works but the scroll wheel.
    I tested on osx and it works, so it is not dirty or broken.
    I tried to install the drivers from my leopard dvd but I receive an error message during the installation.
    I downloaded the bootcamp update for 64bit systems but when I try to install it, it tells me the software to be updated is missing.
    I tried to use a recent leopard dvd a friend gave but it tells me that my system doesn't support 64 bit softwares (is a late 2007 Mac Pro).
    Is there anyone who knows the answer?

    You have to have a pre-2008 Mac Pro I take it.
    (might want to include more in your profile)
    First you need to install 64-bit drivers from Apple off 10.5.4 or later DVD or from a 2008 Mac Pro.
    Might even be drivers for generic BT mice available somewhere??

    I think you'll need to uninstall your current Apple services and device drivers, restart and then go with BC 2.x for 64-bit.

  • New Imac 20" mouse scroll wheel not working

    I just got my imac about 4 months ago and the scroll wheel stop working properly. It will let me scroll down side to side but not back up. Is this something that apple will replace if i take it back to the apple store or am i stuck with a broken mouse.

    It can be replaced under the one-year warranty or the iMac it came with, or three years if you have AppleCare.
    However, you should try cleaning it. The little rollers under the ball get clogged with gunk and stop working properly.
    You can refer to this Apple article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1537
    The way I clean it is with a damp (not wet) lint-free cloth. Fold it over and put it flat on a table or counter top. Holding the mouse up-side-down, roll the ball quickly in all direction on the cloth. Do this for a minute or two. Usually, this will dislodge the accumulated gunk on the internal rollers, and the mouse scrolling will work again.
    You may want to do this periodically, even if it appears to be working fine.

  • Illustrator CS3 really hates my mouse scroll wheel

    CS3 Web Premium arrived on Friday and I'm loving it so far, but I'm having a bit of trouble with Illustrator. Haven't really used it before, I come from the Macromedia user base and upgraded from Studio 8.
    What happens is, whenever I use the scroll wheel on my mouse (Logitech MX Revolution using SetPoint 3.30) inside Illustrator, Windows Vista plays that 'bing' system sound known as the Default Beep. In fact the scroll wheel sets of insane cascades of this bing sound, it keeps machine gunning for several seconds. This mouse has a 'free wheel' construction with ball bearings, the idea being that you can set it spinning and it'll keep going for up to 7 seconds. If I set it spinning in Illustrator CS3, the bing sound is retriggered several times a second and the computer keeps ringing like an old phone for up to a minute.
    I realize I could simply disable the darn system sound, but this won't fix whatever is broken. It might as well be a problem with Logitech's driver, but again, this issue is exclusive to Illustrator. Doesn't happen in other CS3 apps, or any other apps.
    Anyone else getting hammered by this bi-bi-bi-bi-bing-bi-bing sound?

    What is it with Logitech? They must have tens of thousands of Illustrator users in their customer base, in fact right now they're bragging about their new Adobe CS3 drivers for their NuLOOQ products. Do you have to be a gamer in order to make Logitech fix SetPoint bugs?
    Actually, I've noticed there are problems with Logitech mice in Flash as well. When I grab the 'playhead' and drag it to another position along the timeline, and I don't let go immediately, I get this huge empty window that pops up on top of the stage & timeline, concealing them from view. It's... just a window, approximately 600x400 pixels, no title, no contents just Vista's default application icon in the middle. It won't disappear until I let go of the left mouse button. It only happens when Logitech mice + SetPoint is involved. If I use the laptop's touchpad instead, I can't make the mysterious window appear.

  • HP mouses, with smooth non-clicki​ng scroll wheel, like HP XA965AA

    Hi HP. I love your mouse HP XA965AA. It hfs the best scroll wheel I ever tried. I'm using it for a few years. But now it's broken.
    Please, could you name other, maybe some newer models, that have the same smooth non-clicking (I mean, scroll wheel can be clicked, like a button... but no 'step' scrolling, just the smooth movement of the wheel) scroll wheel.
    p.s. I'd prefer a big wireless mouse with high DPI.
    Thank's.

    You nailed it with the ati-dri package!  Had a corrupt checksum!  Forced a reinstall and now all good
    Thanks for the quick reply!

  • Scroll wheel messed up

    My 4th gen ipod's scroll wheel is completely messed up. Whenever I try to hit any button on the scroll wheel, or move up or down... nothing happens. I looked up my problm on yahoo answers and there was the explanation that the sensors in the scroll wheel had broken, but if i put my ipod in th freezer for like a minute or two, it works great for like 30 seconds. Oh, one more thing, if I lock my ipod and unlock it, it completely shuts down, and if i lock it and unlock it again... the little white apple comes up after about 5 seconds after i unlock it. My ipod is COMPLETELY messed up, and if i don't have a responding solution that does not include restarting it to factory settings, i will go insane and have to believe my ipod has thoughts and hates me. so PLEASE respond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just in case it has a bearing on the problem, you have performed regular maintenance on the drive recently? By this I mean repairing the disk, repairing permissions, purging caches, running the maintenance scripts, verifying preference files.
    If not, you can use a number of freeware/shareware utilities such as [Onyx|http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html], [Tiger Cache Cleaner|http://www.northernsoftworks.com/leopardcachecleaner.html], [Cocktail|http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php], etc. Or you can install [Applejack|http://applejack.sourceforge.net> and do most of these tasks in Single User mode.
    Also, have you tried starting in [Safe Boot Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392] just to clear things up (note that you won't be able to use the Mac fully while in Safe Mode, but cycling thru this mode can clear some problems)?

  • Skype 7.0 not using Windows scroll wheel settings

    Exactly what it says on the tin.  In the mouse options for Windows, you can set your mousewheel to scroll a given number of lines per "tick" of the wheel.  The default is three lines per tick, but many users increase this (personally, I use 6).  Normally, this affects virtually anything with a scroll bar including system windows, web browsers, text editors, and previous versions of Skype.  Since updating to Skype 7.0 this behavior is no longer present, causing Skype windows to scroll at roughly one line per tick rather than the number set in Windows.  It isn't an enormous usability issue, but it feels like scrolling through molassas (Skype windows scroll at roughly 1/6 the rate of others for me, and each scrolling motion moves me only one or two messages either way), is very annoying, and throws off the seamless nature of the Windows UI. Neither restarting Skype nor altering the setting have caused it to pick up on it, which suggests to me that Skype is simply ignoring it rather than this being an individual issue or update hiccough.  This behavior is occurring on both Windows 7 (64) and Windows 8.1 (64).  Can someone confirm to me whether this behavior is universal for Skype 7.0, and if so whether there's any chance of it being fixed in the near future?  The new UI is pretty, but I'm not exactly in love with many of the design decisions (could the chat windows possibly have been less efficient in terms of space?) so if the scrolling's broken too I may just give up and go back to 6.x.

    This is yet another example of Skype using custom controls which do not mimic the full behavior of the standard controls in Windows. This is something that Microsoft themselves warn developers not to do, and have done for years. It's almost as if Skype were a masterclass on how not to implement a portable, accessible user interface. Blog post here: http://moteprime.org/article.php?id=59

  • Turn Off Scroll Wheel Zooming

    I need to turn off the scroll wheel zooming in After Effects. If I am looking at a Comp window and I scroll with my mouse, the view zooms in or out. I don't want to do this, especially because I have a Magic Mouse and any stray movement suddenly zooms my window. It's a realy problem. Can I turn this "feature" off?
    iMac i7 running Mac OS X 10.6.2

    Feh. If Adobe actually DID listen, they would have taken one of the following steps (in order of likelihood):
    added all the features to Illustrator that FreeHand had 10 years ago that are STILL missing.
    continued to update/upgrade FreeHand (not as stupid as it sounds...look at how many different clothes detergents Proctor & Gamble makes that compete with one another).
    release the source code with a Creative Commons license, and allow developers to create an open source alternative to Illustrator (okay - THAT would be suicidal for illustrator, but a guy can dream).
    I know a few things about the way Adobe (and all software companies for that matter) work. I worked for competitiors of theirs, and a company they acquired. Lots of friends still work there at Adobe.
    Problem is, what we don't see as consumers is what REALLY goes on there - the jockeying for dominance by one product group over another, the limited resources and the constant battle for them between fixing what's broken (not a money-maker but helps the customers) or adding new features (attracts new customers but introduces more bugs). At Micrografx, we used to joke that a X.0 release was our "X.UH-oh" version. At one time tech support guys would ask each other, "did they want help with the "original recipe" or "extra buggy." But what really kills me is I have a lot invested in FreeHand. And it had features and functionality that is simply not in Illustrator, even now. That's insane. To make an analogy in another area, it's like GM buying Chrysler for their variable-speed transmission, and other cool technology, then discontinuing all the unique features and products, and continuing to sell the same old stuff. I realize that vector drawing is a mature category, but we deserve better than Illustrator.
    Even worse is the Windows-centric nature of Adobe. Back in the day, Adobe was a Mac company, first and foremost. Their Windows products were...um...kind of a joke. Illustrator 1.0, for instance, cost $100 more than it's Mac counterpart, and could only PRINT in color...it couldn't display anything in color on the screen. (!) Somewhere along the way, someone made a decision to develop on Windows (with a huge advantage in overall market share, this makes financial sense) and port the code to Macs. That's a BIG mistake, because ported code is, by definition, bloated and unresponsive. It's a cost-effective way to do business...right up until your users wise up. Unfortunately, by going for the larger Windows market, Adobe's forgotten that in graphics, Macs are still the choice of a majority of graphics professionals.
    How do they diss Macs? Let me count the ways: let's take video, for instance. Take a Mac and a PC. Equip both with the same CPU, RAM, and Hard Drive. See which one plays back video faster. Surprise! It's the PC. Why? Bloated code. Same is true for Flash. And Photoshop.
    The only thing that allows Adobe to get away with listening to their bean counters instead of their customers is they have VERY little competition. In fact, where they DO have competition, they are (surprise again) competitive. Final Cut almost destroyed Premier. But Adobe got serious about improving Premiere, and today it's begining to win the hearts and minds of the Apple faithful.
    As I see it, there are two solutions here. I'm good with either one.
    Someone (like Apple) steps into to make quailty apps on the Mac that will make it a two horse race. Adobe will improve...or die.
    Apple buys Adobe and folds CS6 into their software line, like Final Cut Pro and Logic Studio.
    Don't care which happens. But I'm really very unhappy with the state of things as they are. So...Adobe...ARE you listening?

  • Scroll Wheel no longer works in version 4.4 RC

    My scroll wheel no longer works after installing Lightroom 4.4. In all previous versions, I was able to use my Logitech scroll device to adjust the sliders in the development panel.  In the 4.4 version, the scroll wheel no longer works and instead of adjusting an individual slider, it scrolls the whole development panel up and down. I did uninstall the mouse driver and reinstalled but that did not work. The mouse works just fine in all other programs. I think it is a bug with the 4.4 version. I am operating in Windows 7. Any suggestions for a fix?
