Wireless Mighty Mouse Not Scrolling After Update to 10.6.8

The  use to work wireless migthy mouse stop working after system update to 10:6:8
Tried pair and unpair and re-setup, downloading USB Overdrive and uninstall it, still no used.
This is frustrating,  Apple, your service had not improved and getting worse!

Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad.   There's a scrolling option there that must be checked.

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse not scrolling down?!

    I have tried all tricks mentioned in previous posts, cleaning etc. - but NOTHING is helping!
    Scroll ball looks and feels clean and scrolling up works like a dream.
    This is driving me completely crazy - and putting me off buying Apple products. Someone, please, do you have any other tips or is a trip to the shop (which is 45min drive away) the only option?
    Help!

    I was about to give up because I've already tried rubbing the scroll ball against a clean T-shirt and other things.
    I've heard some recommendations to use a residue-free solvent to de-gum the scroll ball, but I didn't have any rubbing alcohol. My last ditch effort was to use Zippo lighter fluid - the kind for their wick lighters. I don't smoke, but I use the lighters for camping, and the fluid is handy as an acceptable substitute for solvent based cleaning fluids. They have a newer "synthetic formula" that has a considerably milder odor with almost no smell once it dries. It also doesn't irritate the skin like the previous formula would if a lighter leaked. I believe this is similar to a lot of magnetic head cleaning products out there; many are just petroleum-based solvents. Of course I was very careful (I disavow anyone who tries this and sets their house on fire). I placed a little bit on a napkin and rubbed gently. This was done far away from any source of fire and this type of fluid doesn't have heavy vapors that linger like gasoline fumes.
    I tested it first on a less visible section of the mouse, and it didn't mar the finish; I didn't expect it would do anything to plastic, but I wanted to be sure first.

  • Bluetooth not working = wireless mighty mouse not working too

    I've received an apple wireless mighty mouse from my gf and it's not responding to anything. and my bluetooth icon in the top right of the screen says it's not enable everytime since. So it's surely in my imac the problem. Is there a way i can fix it buy myself or i have to send it to an apple store?
    N.B. i have the same problem as the rest of the peps who have the latest update of Leopard

    "can you tell my why it says that while 2 weeks ago my WIRELESS mighty mouse
    was working and that i was able to go into bluetooth icon and it was active???"

  • Wireless mighty mouse horiz. scroll for some software

    The horizontal scroll on my new wireless mighty mouse seems to work for some programs (Safari) just fine; for others (Melody maker) only on the scrollbar and for others (MS Word) not at all. Any ideas?

    Yes you need to install the software to allow your Mac to properly recognise all the features of the BT Mighty Mouse.
    I've got the exact same setup and just obtained a Wireless Mighty Mouse - all I had to do was install the software on the CD, reboot (the first reboot will take a little while), and follow the instructions on either the CD or one of the small enclosed booklets that you should have in your box.

  • Mighty Mouse not scrolling up

    I have the Wireless Mighty Mouse, and a couple days ago, I noticed that it won't scroll up. The ball will go everywhere, and it's all responsive that I see- except for when I want to roll up. I checked, and everything else seems to be working perfect. I also rolled the ball on an piece of paper, and clean it up. Still nothing. If anyone knows what to do, please let me know!

    I just bought a magic mouse and downloaded the Better Touch Tool software to expand it functionality. Has anyone done this since I have been able to do ONE functional change to the Magic Mouse, but now I can not find it do to another changed.

  • Apple wireless Mighty Mouse not working in Windows XP Pro/Boot Camp

    I was able to get Windows XP Pro to install successfully on my new iMac, but I can only get a wired Microsoft USB mouse to work with it. When I boot to WinXP with just my wireless Mighty Mouse, the wireless mouse is completely unresponsive. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution? Thanks!

    Why not post in the Boot camp forum:

  • Mighty Mouse not scrolling down

    Hello. I have a problem with my mighty mouse. Suddenly it will no longer scroll downwards with the small ball when view web pages/itunes etc., although it will still scroll up. Does this have anything to do with the latest security update that i recently installed? Any help would be appreciated.

    I had a similar problem and it turned out that the moving parts inside were just dirty.
    I used a slightly damp face cloth and pushed hard against the ball and rolled it around for a few seconds.
    This cleaned the bit of dust or whatever was interfering, and it has worked fine since.
    I read elsewhere to use rubbing alcolhol instead of water -- but I used a very damp cloth and that did the trick.
    Good luck!

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse NOT smooth! (Fixed!)

    I have been having a problem lately with my Wireless Might Mouse, that the tracking was very, very poor and mouse movement was not smooth. It was almost to the point of being unusable.
    I've discovered what the problem was and thought I'd share it: the mouse was simply too far away from my MacBook Pro. That sounds like an obvious thing, but my desk setup is a 23" Apple Cinema Display in the center of my desk, and the MacBook Pro on a stand to the upper left of the screen. The mouse pad is to the lower right of the Cinema Display. The way it was positioned, the display was acting as a big panel blocking the diagonal line of sight from the mouse to the laptop. While I understand that bluetooth does not rely on line of sight, it does severely degrade when big metal obstacles are placed in the way!
    I noticed that with the screen not in the way, the mouse performance is perfect and smooth even at 3 foot distances.
    I mention this just in case anyone else comes across a similar issue with their setup!

    BT also uses the same range of frequencies as do some wireless and cordless phones and also microwave ovens.
    BT uses what is essentially a public frequency band, so in addition to reflections as you so well pointed out, there are other reasons for BT devices "acting up."
    Also other BT devices can cause "stuttering" by jamming the other devices, even though they are not coupled. They essentially create a high noise level.

  • Magic Mouse not scrolling after OS X update

    After OS X update (now at 10.10.3), my Magic Mouse no longer scrolls in Finder. Has anyone else experienced this? Double-checked Accessibility setting and scrolling is Enabled. Any suggestions on a fix would be appreciated. On a Mac Mini - Mid 2011 8gbRAM i7chip.

    10.3 and earlier refer to Panther and earlier operating systems.  Please post in the Yosemite forum:

  • Wireless printer does not work after update

    I have VM fusion running on my MAC with a wireless printer enabled on my MAC. Prior to the security update, the printer worked seamlessly. Since the update, I can no longer "see" the printer in Windows XP. Any suggestions?

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Pointer not moving

    Need some advice. My 7 month old IMAC wireless mighty mouse is scrolling fine but does not move the pointer...can someone help? Thanks!

    Hi Rich:
    That file is located in Macintosh HD>library>preferences. Sometimes (rare, but it happens) preference files become corrupted - causing all sorts of odd behavior.
    If that does not help, try resetting the PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    If that does not fix the problem, take the mouse to an Apple store or call Applecare and indicate you have a warranty issue. Apple does replace things under warranty at no cost (shipping paid both ways). I have had a mouse and keyboard replaced in the past and was pleased with the service.

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Refuses To Scroll Up

    Hello, I have a small issue.
    My wireless mighty mouse suddenly refuses to scrcoll up. I changed the batteries, reconfigured it in Sys Preferences. It will scroll every direction but up.
    Do any of you fine people have an idea of what is wrong?
    Thanks

    The problem is, they are not designed to be taken apart. They are stuck together with some serious glue. By the time you get it apart, the thing is already a bit of a mess with possible broken bits. And to get it back together is going to need more glue. I can almost guarantee it will look a mess by then. And thats if it still works at all after the surgery. They are quite intricate things inside, even more so the wireless ones.
    I've done the job to a couple of these mice, and already 1 of them is acting up again. I dont think it will survive another operation, so it will most likely get binned and substituted with a Logitech, or similar.

  • Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse internal speaker not working !!!

    Recently I bought an used Wireless Mighty Mouse (first version with grey side buttons), the mouse is working perfectly minus the single little detail that I can not hear any clicking sound from the internal tiny speaker inside the mouse when I use the little scroll ball above the mouse or when I press the grey side buttons, is this normal or should I hear the clicking sound simulated by the internal speaker? is there a way to enable or disable the internal speaker by software? Maybe is disabled by default, I don't know. I really don't think the speaker could be damaged due to the rest of the mouse is working like a charm but maybe mine came without a speaker, could be? or maybe it got disconnected somehow. Any clues or ideas would be very helpful. Thanks !

    I know what a microswitch is, please look at these links, here are the proof there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker in some mighty mouse and wireless mighty mouse:

    and I can keep giving you tens of links to proof you that actually there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker inside the mighty mouse and the wireless mighty mouse, If yours came without one it doesn't necessarily mean all came without one, right? That is why I asked you what version you have in order to figure out which ones does have the speaker and which one doesn't.

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Right Button does not work well

    Recently I bought in Online Apple Store a Wireless Mighty Mouse.
    I installed the drivers that came in the CD, and, I defined in the System Preferences the second button of the mouse (the Right Button) to function as the Secondary Button.
    But after the computer going to sleep and I wakes it up, or I stop a little to work with the Mouse, or then without none apparent reason, the Right Button behaves as the Left Button, like if it had one and only button in the Mouse.
    To solve the problem I have to disconnect the mouse and/or the bluetooth connection, so that the Right Button functions again as I defined it in the System Preferences like a Secondary Button. But I think that is not the solution for who needs a mouse to work.
    Therefore, I thank you a solution to solve this problem.
    Sincerely,
    Paulo
    The computers where I worked with this Wireless Mighty Mouse and where I had this problem was:
    - a PowerBook 12", 1.5GHz
    - and a MacBook Pro 15", 1.83GHz
    - both with MacOS 10.4.8
    (Sorry for my bad english)

    There are a few threads going describing this problem Discussions. (E.g., check out this one.)
    It appears that there's probably a hardware QC issue with some fraction of the wireless Mighty Mice. Replacing the bad mouse -- either at a local Apple Store or via AppleCare online -- is what I'd suggest. (That's what I ended up doing and the replacement mouse has been fine.)

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse - No Horizontal Scroll

    PB G4 10.4.6
    Brand new Wireless Mighty Mouse.
    Vertical Scroll - ok
    Zoom -ok
    Will not scroll Horizontally - and have no idea of what 360 is

    Will not scroll Horizontally - and have no idea of
    what 360 is
    To achieve horizontal scrolling you have to select the 360 Degree option. With this option, the mighty mouse driver activates the x-axis sensor inside the mouse. With both x- and y-axis sensors working, the scroll ball operates like your typical analog ball mouse of yore--only it's upside-down. Personally, I think the System Preference option should read "2π Radians."
