Hi,
I recently bought a new Mac and have had a couple hiccups with it since then. I'm hoping someone can help me with them.
The first one is a hardward issue:
I have the standard mighty mouse, and just today I started having problems with the scroll wheel. Sometimes when I'm scrolling around, it will stop making the tell tale clicking sound that indicates functionality, and will then stop scrolling in the corresponding direction. I can get it to come back in after a few minutes of fidgeting with it, but it can go back out any second.
Is there any way to prevent this? (ie. cleaning?)
The next problem is software related:
Every now and then whatever program I'm using will unexpectedly quit. So far it has happened to Safari, Word, iTunes, and the Activity Monitor. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this?
Thanks for your help!
