Feb 27, 2012 4:02 AM in response to FOOFer19by dwb,Assuming you are talking about the USB mouse that came with your Mac, get a clean piece of paper and put it on the desk. Turn your mouse upside and put the rubber scroller ball on the paper. With moderate pressure, roll the mouse around on the paper for about 30 seconds. Now try using the mouse. Repeat as needed.

Dec 8, 2015 1:30 AM in response to dwbby dmoxia,thank you... mouse scrolling in one direction was driving me nuts- your solution sounded like the old days of smacking the top of a TV in the vain hope of improving the reception but it worked !
