Why does my mouse scroll backwards?

Multiple mice/mouses that I have used on my MacBookPro scroll backward since installing OSX Lion. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • Why does the mouse scroll no longer work in Firefox 4?

    I upgraded to Firefox 4 and suddenly my mouse scroll no longer works. It works fine for other programs and IE also Chrome, just not Firefox 4. How do I fix this? If this cannot be fixed, how can resort back to the old version?

    Spoke too soon. It worked fine for 10 minutes then died again. Closed and re-opened Firefox and it's working again. If this keeps up I will end up back with Chrome or IE. Way too inconvenient for me to stay with a browser and lose this functionality.

  • Why does my mouse scroll wheel work upside down?

    I have a Logitech portable mouse attached to my Macbook Pro and the scroll wheel works backward so when I pull down on the wheel the page does up and vice versa.  Is it me or is there a setting in my Mac I need to reverse?

    Thank you Ralph. In my Mac I had a box that said, "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating and it was checked.  As soon as I unchecked the box, the problem was solved.

  • Why is my wireless mouse scrolling backward

    I upgraded to Lion. Now my mouse scrolls backward. Anyone know why?

    That does not appear to be the usual Mouse prefs window in Lion. Don't have a clue why that would be.
    This is what it looks like on mine -
    However, the equivalent to the 'inverted/natural' choice would probably be the first item, "Move content...." - try unchecking that one.

  • Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute

    why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries

    I'm having the same issue.  Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
    If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
    Can't wait until someone replies to your question.

    the-edmeister, you are a genious. I went to "view" then "toolbars" and de-selected "yahoo toolbar" and then moved the curser over my firefox page and it now works completely including the problem area (the top 3 cm of each screen). Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You have no idea how good I feel know on this otherwise cold, windy and rainy day.

  • Why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    I'm getting the same thing.  This is the second major problem I've had with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.  They just corrected the first problem where there was a "default printer" error coming up when printing.  This is ridiculous.
    My mouse freezes erratically when I click on the main drop down menu.  It works okay when editing photos.  The mouse just acts erratically on the Main drop down menus.  My suspicion is the new update that fixed the default printer error has caused this issue.  I am really hoping someone from Adobe is viewing this forum.  It took 3 months for Adobe to fix the printer issue.  I hope this isn't the case with this issue.

  • Mouse scrolling backwards

    Did anyone experience your mouse scrolling backwards after the upgrade?

    This was changed in 10.8, I believe. You can reverse it (if you want to), in System Preferences - Trackpad - Scroll/Zoom - turn off "Scroll direction: natural".
    The "natural" scroll motion mimics what happens when you scroll on an iOS device such as an iPad.

  • Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

    I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
    Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

    Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
    I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • Why does my mouse move slowly?

    Why does my mouse move slow?

    Check the setting for tracking speed. You'll find that in System Preferences > Mouse.
    Note that tracking speed has variable accelleration associated with it; it responds to the speed of the mouse movement as well as the distance. When the tracking speed is set to fast, a slow movement of the mouse will yield an approximate one-to-one response from the cursor; but if you flick the mouse quickly, the cursor will fly across thre screen.
    If you're using a non-Apple mouse, and it came with its own software, check in that control pane for a similar setting.

  • Why is my magic mouse scrolling backwards?

    I've updated to 10.7.3 and now I have to scroll down to scroll up, and up to scroll down. Very weird!
    Please help.

    Look at the setting in System Preferences > Mouse > Scroll Direction Natural.
    Change it for the opposite preference.
