The wheel on my mouse won't scroll since the upgrade to current software. It works on all the other programs on my PC. Please help!

I am using Firefox with Windows XP and a Lenovo ThinkPad and a Lenovo optical wireless mouse. Some web sites don't allow me to scroll or click on links

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I was browsing in Firefox, and all of the sudden, I am unable to use the pgup/pgdown buttons in FF. However, I am able to use them in Internet Explorer, and in other programs. Can you please help?

The "home" and "end" keys work, but not the pgup/pgdown. It's not a problem with the keyboard, since those keys work in any other program I try.

caret caret (F7) problems, Most keyboards have overlaid keys, make sure NumLk is off as that can also interfere. "PgUp", "PgDn", "SpaceBar", "Home" and "End" keys" not working -- caret cursor F7

HT3529 I have just updasted to the IOS6 and now my Imesasages and FaceTime won't work at all How can I fix this problem Please help I'm deployed and that's how i talk to my loved ones.

I have just updated my Iphone and Ipad to the newest IOS that Apple has available. And now none of my Imessages work or facetime. How can i fix this?

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

Thinkpad bluetooth laser mouse won't scroll in VMware

Hi,
I have the Thinkpad bluetooth laser mouse, which I really love, and use extensively VMware on my T500.
Unfortunately the scroll wheel doesn't work in my VMware marchine (it's a XP pro VM)
when I plug a very old usb IBM mouse the wheel does work however.
I tried to install the Lenovo Mouse suite on the VM itself but it didn't pick the mouse, which I believe is normal since VMware is already providing the driver for the mouse.
When I look in the hardware tab of the mouse properties in control panel, it list 3 devices:
VMware Pointing Device
HID compliant mouse
HID compliant mouse
Has anyone a clue on how to enable the laser mouse wheel?
likewise, the scroll on the touchpad won't work neither.
I tried to play with the hardware option but nothing came successful.
some collegues have hogitech mice and the wheel works fine.
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem. The mice work fine mostly with host system regardless to operation system(XP/W7/Ubuntu), but the scroll doesn't work in vmware. I don't think it is related to virtual system because any other mouse work fine in the same virtual OS. I think Lenovo should to investigate it and change the behavior of scroll wheel because it seems to be different to other mouse. I like the feature that the scroll wheel is working in current window where the pointer is, but maybe the feature cause the problem, the scroll wheel is out of work in vmware.

Mighty Mouse won't scroll

None of the answers to this topic solved my problem. All of a sudden my bluetooth mighty mouse won't scroll. I can set it to 360 degrees and it will scroll horizontally. But it won't scroll horizontally or vertically if I set it to both. Help!

Have you tried resetting bluetooth?
I have been having the same problem since nearly as long as I've had my mighty mouse, and cleaning it never solved the problem.
I just called apple and got them to send me out a new one, but before they did they told me to do this.
Turn off your Mac, removed the power and battery and hold down the power button for 5 seconds. Then turn it back on, but while you turn it back on hold down the altcmnd+RP buttons together. You will hear it ching two times as it turns on, let go after the second ching. This apparently resets the bluetooth and it fixed my mouse, it now works perfectly.
I'd recommend taking the advise of an apple technical advisor first before trying this, I have a MacBook from last year and that's what i did.

Mighty Mouse won't scroll in Stickies application

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to get a Mighty Mouse to scroll text inside a Stickie note? My Logitech wireless mouse does it, but when the batteries die I have to use my (wired) Mighty Mouse and it seems to scroll in all applications EXCEPT Stickies (G5 Quad). Even on my wife's G4 PowerBook, her wireless M.Mouse won't scroll in a Stickie note. It seems odd that any 3rd party mice will but the M.Mouse won't. Am I missing something?

Doesn't look like you're missing anything at all, strange indeed though!

After installing Mountain Lion my mouse won't scroll

After installing Mountain Lion my mouse won't scroll up or down. It will, on occasion, scroll left.

Which mouse do you have? If it has a mechanical scroll ball on the top then it's simply dirty and needs cleaning. However if you are using Magic Mouse then please click iMac SMC and PRAM reset and do both resets 2x.

Magic mouse won't scroll on snow leopard

I bought an imac two weeks ago (snow leopard)- and my magic mouse won't scroll! I do not seem to have the USB overdrive installed, I have all the latest software! Help!

The ball is dirty, they have a history of accumulating dirt and grime on them so that's my best guess. When I used one what worked well was rolling the ball very very vigorously on a white sheet of paper on a hard flat surface. Do this for about 60 seconds then see if that took care of it.
NOTE: My error I misread and thought you wrote Mighty Mouse. Please disregard.

Does anyone know why a magic mouse won't scroll in calendar in mavericks?

does anyone know why a magic mouse won't scroll in calendar in mavericks?
It will scroll in a window that has an indicator scroll bar on the right side but not in the new seamless calendar view. The built in trackpad on my mid 2012 macbook pro will scroll.

or uninstall those mpkgs
Yes.

Mighty Mouse Won't Scroll Down - Solution

My iMac's mighty mouse wouldn't scroll down even after furious cleaning with a damp cloth and all that this discussion site advised.
I took the mouse into the new Cabot Circus Apple Store here in Bristol, UK. Five minutes later I was out again with a fully restored mighty mouse scroll ball.
The 'genius' used a isopropyl alcohol Prep Pad, as used by your doctor to sterile your arm before using a hypodermic needle. You can probably buy these down your local Chemists/Pharmacy. He gave me a strip of these sachets marked "Medium - Alcohol Prep Pad" manufactured by Dynarex Corporation. They seem to be selling for about £1.25 for 200. Cheap as chips even in this day and age.

He then advised me to clean my mouse this way once a week to keep it in tip-top condition.
I'm sure I read somewhere that one wasn't supposed to use anything other than a damp cloth on these devices. Oh well, there you go.
Hope this helps anyone else who have found their mouse tracker ball has stopped working.

I think you have missed the point.
Try asking yourself, what would you do if rubbing your mouse on paper was no longer enough? That's the situation I was in.

My mouse won't scroll down

My mouse won't scroll down. It only scrolls up. Even after cleaning.

If it's is a Mighty Mouse (has a roller ball on top) then you did not clean it well enough. Get a clean sheet of white paper and put it on a flat hard surface and very vigourously roll the ball on the paper for 60-90 seconds. This should dislodge the gunk, if it doesn't you can try restarting in Safe Mode to reset some of the caches. If that does not do it you can do a SMC reset and if that doesn't work then it's time for a new mouse.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

My mouse won't scroll up

Please help me figure why my mouse won't scroll up on my iMac. I'm afraid my 2 year old knows more about the computer than I do & seems to have disabled the scroll up function.

The same thing happened to me with my 2 week old Imac. Heres what I did and this worked for me:
-turn the mouse updside down
-notice where it is lit up
within that small oval area where the light is, there is a small plastic piece that sits vertical
-GENTLY push on that small plastic piece one way or the other, likely it will move a tiny bit, then STOP.
The scroll should now work both ways.
Its possible during normal use of the mouse, perhaps pressing the mouse down too hard when you scroll or slide the mouse around on its pad, that little piece gets moved just slightly and then it doesnt scroll correctly.
When you use the mouse, do not press down on it when you slide it around and hold it still when you click.
