How do you scroll in Safari??!!

As I was typing another message in this forum with my iPad, I realized that I could not scroll back up or down if the post was longer than the 10 lines that fill this compose box.
All you can do is swish the page up or down,, but really need some way to arrow ip or down, or maybe it is just that the scroll bars interface does not work properly on iPad Safari.
I noticed the same issue trying to scroll inn Google Docs earlier.

when i type this far down, can't get back up to the top of the message!
Scroll bars should have popped up on the right side by now, but they didn't.

You have to tap and hold at the top or bottom of the textarea. It's actually slightly annoying if you want to just place the cursor on a line at the top or bottom when it can scroll, because the scroll can be unexpected.
It does seem that the textarea scroll is way too slow though.
What would be nice is if you you could two-finger swipe inside a textarea when it has focus, or if you could tap and hold in the box and get a little up-down arrow telling you that you can now scroll the area via up/down motions, kind of like some browsers do when you click a scrollwheel.

  • How do you scroll? Or crop a pic?

    How do you scroll on a page? Say as if the page continues after you get to the bottom of the iPad screen. Also, how do you crop a pic. Every time I try to drag to crop it just enlarges the pic.

    Scrolling down a page is normally done by using one finger on the screen to swipe/drag upwards (or downwards to scroll up). In terms of cropping a picture, what app are you using ? You can't crop in the Photos app (until iOS 5 arrives in the Autumn).

  • How do you sort the safari  "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

    how do you sort the safari  "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

    Here is the workaround for sorting your bookmarks - you don't have to do it manually as suggested in the previous answer here. This is from a 2006 page at Hints.Macworld.com
    "One thing that bugs me is that there is no option in Safari to alphabetize bookmarks. I had a crazy idea about how to accomplish this, and it seems to work. Hopefully I'm not missing something more obvious.
    What I did was open the Bookmarks window (Bookmarks: Show All Bookmarks), put the links I wanted to alphabetize into a folder, and then dragged that folder into the Finder. The Finder alphabetizes the bookmarks; you can then just drag the folder back into the Bookmarks window. You probably have to set the Finder to arrange files by name before it will work. Hope this helps!
    [robg adds: When you drag the folder back, you'll now have two folders, the original and the sorted one. Just delete the original, and you're set. You can also do this without first creating a Safari folder. Just select all the bookmarks to be alphabetized, drag them into a new folder in the Finder, open that folder (make sure it's set to sort by name or use column view), then drag the now-sorted bookmarks back into Safari's Bookmarks window. Again, you'll have duplicates, so just delete the originals (which will be grouped above the newly-placed list). I wonder if any of this is scriptable...]"
    If you're like me and you like to keep all of your bookmarks in folders in the Bookmarks bar, then from the Bookmarks window you would open the Bookmarks Bar in a window of its own before doing the above.

  • How do you make the Safari menu bars at the top and bottom of the browser go away in iOS7 when you can't scroll the screen?

    The menu bar at the bottom of Safari screens only goes away if you scroll the screen.  But for one page content, the screen can't be scrolled which renders useless any links/buttons at the bottom of the page.
    Is there a fix for this in iOS7?
    In iOS6, users needed only to tap the screen to remove the Safari menu bars.  This does not work in iOS6.

    In Safari > View choose Exit Full Screen

  • How do you scroll up albums in iTunes 11?  There isn't a scroll bar on the right side.  I know it appears when you minimize the screen, but it is hidden on my machine.  Running Dell XPS 15z i7 w/ Win 7.

    In iTunes 11, there is no scroll bar in full page Albums view.  It does appear when you minimize the screen, but on my computer, the scroll is hidden and the resizing of the screen does not work.   Is there a fix?  Also, how do you sort tracks/songs in Album view?  When I import lengthy audiobooks, the inability to sort through hundreds of tracks is really ticking me off.  Again, is there a fix?
    Apple...  Before you tell me all the great features in iTunes 11, let me just say they are duly noted.  But, I would rather have the option to do things on my own, rather than being forced to conform to your techies need to be creative.  I don't use Genius or Playlists, so the ability to sort in them is useless to me.

    It's been many, many years since I don't do dual boot anymore. Don't find the reason to do it, either. Different kinds of virtualization should be enough. Anyway...

  • How do you scroll in forms on a Mac?

    Okay I just noticed something. On a PC, when Im on a form or something, when I press tab to go from one box to another, it would also go through the drop down menus. But on the Mac, it skips the drop down menus, so I would have to actually use the mouse which is a hassle. How can you fix that?
    And also, on the PC, when you have a drop down menu selected, you can scroll through it with the up and down buttons. Like on photoshop, you could scroll through the blending options and see its effects quickly with each one by just quickly pressing the buttons... But on the Mac, I dont know how to do that, I have to click each one indivisually. How can I fix that?
    Hope you understand, thanks!

    I have just ran into this same annoyance in the layer style panel. I have set my Full Keyboard Access to "All controls", yet it does not retain focus on the drop down.
    I can select a Blending Mode in with the mouse but I cannot cycle through the options using shift -/+
    Notice that even tho I have the dropdown selected, the opacity slider is the form element with focus.
    Is there a way around this?
    Im using PS CS5 version 12.1 on OS X Lion
