Tracker ball on 8900 will not move down.

So my blackberry, which is on contract to orange uk has again broken. the problem is that the tracker ball will not move down. it moves from left to right and moves up but doesnt move down. you can guess this is rather annoying! I have had it fixed a few months ago for the same problem but it was a bit pricey! I was wondering could you help me with this?

Try rolling it around on a baby wipe if you have one, if not some alcohol gel, or vodka on a tissue may work. Failing that you could take the trackball out and clean the sensors, it's fiddly but it does work. It's quite simple to do if you have the right screw drivers. I even managed it, and I'm a girl

    My mouse scroll ball will not scroll down.

    Unfortunately the Mighty Mouse is known to have issues when scrolling if it gets dirty. The best you can do is hold it upside down and roll the ball back and forth in every direction for a minute or so, this should help clean it any it may start working again. My school's multimedia lab has 20 workstations that all have that mouse and about half of them work! I'd recommend moving to the magic mouse or another brand's mouse if cleaning does not fix it.

    Try these two steps:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

  • Remote will not scroll down.

    After downloading an update, the remote will not scroll down.  Unable to do anything except buy iTunes movies.

    If it's a mighty mouse with the trackball on top, turn it over and rub the ball vigorously on a sheet of paper or microfiber cloth.  The debris jamming the rollers should break free.

  • Ipad2 will not shut down

    Went to reboot my IPAD 2 and will not shut down, the ICON ( wheel) just keeps spinning. What's up with this?

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally,  the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less   comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • Itunes will not shut down on mac

    My itunes will not shut down when I close it out.  The itunes ball will bounce up and down and reopen itself.
    I am running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and this has started in the last 3 weeks.
    I thought it was my blackberry software and had that removed.  It has continued afterwards.
    I do have all of my music on an external hard drive.
    Thanks

    Thanks wjosten I have read that and all the links in it. I did finally get it to work. I downloaded iTunes and reinstalled it. Now the one computer I wanted it to work with is OK.

    The select function in Pages and other apps gets stuck when I touch a word and the cursor will not move. What is the answer for this problem?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • I use uTorrent but it will not shut down when i quit

    I use uTorrent but it will not shut down when I quit

    Any torrent program will and can destroy your computer.
    You are not the first and will not be the last to learn this.
    UnInstall and if your machine is capable Repair Permissions and shut your computer clear off, this allows it to reset and then restart your computer.  Be wary of anything you get from a torrent. Movie, Music, game, EVERYTHING.

  • I have an iMAC from about 2007. The mouse will not scroll down. Can this be fixed?

    I have an iMAC from about 2007. The mouse will not scroll down. Can this be fixed?

    You have to remember, where the scroll ball is, there is a small gap which picks up dust and fluff.   That detritus gets everywhere and in your case affects the downward scroll.  
    Adding just a touch Linc Davis's suggestion, after you have vigorously rubbed the scroll ball on the pad, tap it on a hard surface from time to time.   Sometimes you will see small amounts of fluff appear.   You should also see dirty marks on the pad.

  • Apple mouse will not scroll down

    I have a wirelss mouse (not a Magic Mouse).  The poor creature will not scroll down, infact when using the track button to scroll down, it will go up.  Any suggestions as to how this can be cured.  When I had Apple Care (it is now expired) of the experts suggested rubbing a piece of paper vigoursly over the button a few dozen times - however the mouse now seems to have developed a resistence to this treatment. 

    You're in the Time Capsule forum...no one here focusing on mice.  However...maybe this can help:

  • New Macbook Pro will not shut down.

    Hi,
    So I just got a new Macbook Pro four days ago from the Apple store and I'm already running into a little bit of trouble, that being my macbook will not shut down. Once I open the shut down window, the normal countdown that comes with it usually will not appear and I am incapable of clicking the shut down button. I have not downloaded anything onto my mac besides Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flashplayer, and a pdf document of my receipt from the apple store. I have burned some of my music CDs into itunes and browsed the web (nothing fishy; just some shopping, movie streaming from netflix and youtube, and reading articles online published by universities). Should I take the computer to the Apple store or is this something I can fix on my own?
    Thanks so much

    If I were you I'd take it back to the Apple store and let someone at the Genius Bar take a look at it. The worst case is you made an extra trip, but at least this way you can exchange it immediately if there's a problem. You only have a 14 day window for this, might as well take advantage of it.
    The only other thing I can suggest is to open the Force Quit option from the Apple icon in the upper left corner. See if there are any apps that show Not Responding. If there are any like that, force quit them then try to shut down.

  • I just recently bought a PC, and I just spent some money on some new songs. I plugged my iPod into the computer and my photos immediately began to sync to my photos library, but my music will not move to my iPod. Suggestions? Thanks!

    I just recently bought a PC, and I just spent some money on some new songs. I plugged my iPod into the computer and my photos immediately began to sync to my photos library, but my music will not move to my iPod. This did not happen on my old PC. Suggestions? Thanks!

    The transfer purchases option only works for tracks that were purchased from the iTunes Store.  You'll need the help of third party software to extract all other non-iTunes purchased content and music. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Mouse cursor is stuck top left corner of screen.  It will not move.  Tried both my Bluetooth mouse, and a USB mouse. Not moving but will click

    Tried un pairing the Bluetooth mouse and reconnecting it.  No change.  Tried both those resets people suggested to others in the forums, that didn't help either.  Borrowed my friends USB mouse for his Mac, the same thing.  Cursor will not move, but the click works.(this is what is happening for both)
    If you are kind enough to offer help, please be aware of the following: this is my first Mac.  I really know nothing about them. 

    Yes, once when I first noticed it, and each time I tried both the pram reset, and when I did the other reset (holding down p&r and the other two buttons before the grey screen, and waited for it to reboot from there).  Can't remember what that reset was called
