Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll.

Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll. I am able to use my mouse to scroll through internet searches.  It only seems to have affected my email messages.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Why is there no support for up and down arrow keys when scrolling through presets in adobe raw

    seems like it would be common sense to support such a basic function, especially when having to scroll through about 100+ different presets(VSCO Film). We need support for arrow keys so that it may be easier to compare colors much more quickly. Also the support for comparing 2 of the same images would be even more awesome, RAW image on left, and Presets on the right, or compare different presets to one another.

    You can submit it as a feature rquest, then forget about and go back to your life.

  • Oracle 10g and JAWS -- use of Up and Down Arrow keys

    We are in the process of converting an Oracle 6i application to 10g and applying Accessibility standards to our application so that it will work with the JAWS screen reader.
    The version of JAWS we are using is 7.10.452 Unicode, The Java Access Bridge version required is version 1.2.
    THis problem manifests itself when using the UP and Down arrow keys to move between rows in a mutli-record screen.
    The problem is that on using either the Up or Down key JAWS read the content of the current field before moving to the new record and announcing the prompt and content.
    Has any one got any solution to this.

    Hello Larasoft,
    I understand you’re up and down arrow keys are not functioning, is that accurate? I will do all I can to help you with this issue.
    I want you to access the setup menu to test the keys out, see instructions below.
    1.       Shut down the computer.
    2.       Locate the F10 key across the top.
    3.       When you turn the computer back on immediately start tapping the F10 key repeatedly.
    4.       If successful you should be on setup utility screen. What’s different about this is you can only use you arrow keys to navigate.  
    5.       Try working the arrow keys  up and down on different menus and see if they work.
    6.       Once you tested it press F9 to setup defaults and then press F10 to save and exit.
    If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.  I really appreciate it.
    Please respond at your earliest convenience with you results.
    Thanks
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!

  • The scrollbar won't move when I click the up and down arrows or try to drag the bar, why is that?

    I just updated to version 4.0.1. After I updated and got the browser up again, I tried to scroll by clicking the bar and trying to drag it. This didn't work. So then I tried clicking the up and down arrows. This did not work either. The only way I am able to scroll is by using the up and down arrow keys on my keyboard.

  • Up and down arrow keys are not working properly when using SQL CLI on Linux

    Every time I hit up, down, left, and right arrow keys to return to a previous sql command I got ^[[D, please any hints to fix this issue?
    The backspace works fine with me. I tried to use stty to fix this issue with no luck.
    Thanks

    Which SQL client and Linux version are we talking about?
    Assuming you are using the Oracle sqlplus client... it does not support command line editing and history using the arrow keys. For this to work you will have to install a product called Readline Wrapper. See my answer at the General Database forum:

  • Recently Firefox is no longer recognizing Macro Express macros, and the up and down arrows no longer work as they should.

    The Macro Express works in all other browsers (and programs), but no longer works in Firefox.
    The up arrow and down arrow works in all other browsers, but in Firefox, instead of moving down (or up) a line at a time, the page moves way, way down (or up). The Page Up and Page Down buttons work only part of the time... if a down arrow (or up arrow) was used, the Page arrows move the page but not one page up or down...many pages up or down.
    If I need to change back to an earlier version of Firefox, I will do this. Please tell me how to make things work the way they should work.

  • The "up" and "down" arrows on the keybord do not work. Using them leads to "jumping anywhere", the same for pg up and pg down-keys.

    The problem is (I think), linked to the Mozilla-browser, as it doesn't occur with I.E.
    The problem persists when I use only the keybord: when using a moese, I can "wheel" up and down as usual.
    I have removed Mozilla completely and reinstalled the latest version (3.6.13).
    The problem persists.
    Can anyone help me??
    Many thanks.

  • Using the last edition of Mac OS X, how i can set up the up and down button on the lateral scroll bar?

    I'm looking for a clever setting up of this feature for accessibility reasons.

    If you are referring to the up/down arrows, they are gone. There is no way to set them up short of a complete system hack.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Why can't I use the arrow keys to scroll up and down websites anymore?

    When I'm on any website and I click anywhere in the website there is a blinking bar - sorry, don't know the technical term - like you would find in any new document waiting for the next character to appear to the left of it. It's almost as if FF - not the super-team - want me to add test to any page I find but it is just a weird mistake.
    I assume it's because of this glitch (assuming) that when I go to press the up or down arrow keys it no longer cascades the screen smoothly like a parade of content; instead it just hops from top to middle to bottom and that's when it does anything. What gives?

    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> General section -> place Checkmark on '''Use Smooth Scrolling''' -> Remove Checkmark from '''Use AutoScrolling''' -> click OK
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Why does pressing the left and right cursor keys not navigate within ical?

    Where do I make feature requests?

    The cursor keys by themselves navigate between appointments, allowing you to select them without using the mouse.  Try holding the Apple key plus the right and left arrow keys, that will navigate between pages in the calendar.
