Genius! Blowing on it worked for me, too. Thanks, Josh.

I was skeptical, but tried it and was amazed to see that it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for this suggestion.

you might also try cleaning the scroll ball with a q-tip, thats the only thing that worked for me.

PLEASE HELP…. I have a NEW iMAC with a wired mouse and keyboard. I’ve have the Mac for about 3 months and the scroll wheel on the mouse worked on EVERYTHING… now it works on nothing. My Son said he was playing with it when it stopped working… can anyone help, any ideas!!! thanks Walter

Thanks a lot… blew a few times and it’s working. I wanted to clean it the way I used to clean a “normal” mouse… but it was impossible to open this thing…. really frustrating.

My mouse wouldn’t scroll up, but would scroll down and sideways. I tried the blowing thing, and now it doesn’t scroll in any direction! The only fix is to buy the new ball-less mouse.

Still I’m not too convinced. I have also this problem and so replaced the Mighty mouse by a solid Microsoft optical mouse. Guess what – the same happens from time to time: I get stuck at the bottom of a web page in Safari with no possibility to scroll up. Usually closing and reopening Safari clears the issue. It sometimes happens in other apps too. It seems there is also some software issue…
