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 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.

  • Can anyone explain why my Apple Wireless mouse annoyingly disconnects every 4 or 5 minutes or so? It then remains disconnected for about 20 seconds before reconnecting again? Batteries are good but at a loss ... worked fine for year!

    Can anyone please explain why my Apple wireless mouse keeps disconnecting from my imac? The batteries are good and the mouse in good clean order. Never had an issue previoulsy but now every 4 or 5 minutes the mouse diconnects and takes 20 seconds or so to connect again. Anyone else experienced this one?
    Thanks
    Jon.

    Some folk have reported a similar issue apparently caused by the batteries being a bit loose in their box. The suggested fix for that is to insert a thin piece of cardboard between the battery cover and the batteries.

    Hi Malky H.,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
    Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
    You can find this information here:
    OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
    Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.
    Best Regards,

  • 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.

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

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

  • HT2845 why does my wireless mouse keep losing connection?

    Good morning,
    My wireless mouse keeps losing connection...my batteries are at 100% and the "discoverable" option is checked off.  Why is this happening?

  • My magic mouse scrolls backwards with Lion

    After upgrading to Lion the up and down movements on my Magic Mouse are backwards. I move my finger down and the page goes up, and the reverse is true when motioning up.

    See "magic mouse scrolls in reverse/backwards" for the answer.

  • Wireless mouse scroll wheel not working

    I have a HP Z3200 wireless mouse, I am using it with a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC, and running Windows 7. The scroll wheel is all wonky. It scrolls up when I want to scroll down and visa versa. I just bought the mouse 2 months ago. Please help me fix this.
    Thanks!

  • Desktop slides mouse scrolls backward!

    My desktop will suddenly slide off to the left when I am working on the internet for instance.  To get it back I have to click on the bar at the bottom...and it slides back on the screen.  At the same time my mouse is scrolling backwards! It is driving me crazy.  If I want to go to the bottom of a page I have to swipe up, and to go up, down.
    I use a magic mouse, OS Lion, which I just installed over Snow Lepard, and Mozilla- which also just did an update! 
    HELP I am going nuts!!!
    Thanks

    Ok I know now that the problem did start with the upgrade to Lion!
    I had to go to the apple, system preferences, mouse and more gestures...to stop the scrolling issue I had to Uncheck scroll direction "natural" (really?? it is backwards), it actually shows a picture
    And Uncheck swipe between full screen apps, and this is because I always use 2 fingers to swipe instead of one.  If you only swipe with one you are ok...you can leave it checked.

  • Why is my wireless mouse lagging after bootcamp install?

    Hi all,
    I'm running OS X 10.9.5 and I recently partitioned my hard drive so that I'd be able to run a specific statistical program on Windows. Everything went smoothly, and Windows is up and running.
    However, I noticed that once everything was finished, my wireless mouse started acting strange. It started lagging periodically, so I thought the batteries may be bad. I changed them, and it didn't help. I plugged in a different wireless mouse, and the same thing is happening. They're both logitech - don't know if that matters. I've played around with the system preferences for the mouse, and nothing seems to work.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Why are routine processes (mouse scrolling, viewing videos, appearance of typed text) filled with pauses? I've disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins, and don't encounter this problem with other browsers.

    My problem is unique to the Firefox browser, and does not occur with Opera or IE.
    Way too often (about once a minute or so), Firefox will suffer a brief pause in performing functions, even simple ones.
    It is impossible for me to watch any video in Firefox without the picture pausing periodically. Oftentimes, text I type suffers a delay before appearing in a web form. Mouse scrolling is not very dependable at all.
    I have disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins and add-ons, yet the problem still persists. I have attempted to streamline to only the most necessary plug-ins, but to no avail.
    I love Firefox, but I don't like the choppy videos or downgrading of my productivity these problems are causing.

  • My wireless mouse scroll doesn't function properly in Thunderbird?

    Scroll wheel must be moved 2-3 times before it "'grabs" and scrolls at all, but then not precisely. This is the case both in the Inbox window as well as the message window.

    Hi plr66
    This forum is not the place to fix mouse issues. It is only for Thunderbird questions, how to's etc.
    However, before you decide to get another mouse, I would check your Mouse properties first.
    When you use your mouse, it sends message to computer on what to do.
    If your mouse is not working correctly, see if it needs 'tweaking' of settings to improve performance.
    You access this via the 'Control Panel' > 'Mouse'
    There shoud be a 'Wheel' tab
    Check settings to see if you can improve things.
