Two fingers up and down is the vertical scroll, three fingers sideways is 'back'.

3 fingers scroll down/up functions as a highlighter

Hello -
Did anyone has this. When I'm on an online and use three fingers to scroll it functions as a highlighter of text. Also moves pictures (makes a copy with the original on a website) on the web browser. I'm not sure if this is a trackpad issue? Please advise.

It is normal.
I can drag with three fingers and highlight with three fingers.

I loaded OS X Lion , changed 2 finger scrolling, i want to revert scrolling back to scrolling down is movement towards me, not moving my 2 fingers away from me, I did this by accident , how do i change this 2 finger scroll movement back to original

I loaded OS X Lion , I changed the 2 finger scrolling once OS X Lion was loaded to the movement of moving your 2 fingers towards the screen to move screen down , i want to revert the moving of my screen moving down by scrolling down as the movement towards me , as original when I first received my MAC, not moving my 2 fingers towards the screen , I did this by accident , how do i change this 2 finger scroll movement back to original
in other words - scroll towards me moves screen down
scroll away from me or towards screen moves screen up. this is what I want
now its the opposite
scroll towards me screen screen moves up
scroll towards screen makes screen gone down
how do I fix this mistake i did when I loaded OS X Lion, it asked me to move my 2 fingers on mouse pad, I just moved it towards the screen not knowing this was going to change the scrolling to the opposite of how it scrolled when I first got my MAC, please help I prefer the original 2 finger scroll being towards me is screen moving down, HELP

Apple menu > System Preferences > Trackpad > Scrolling & Zoom > Scroll direction: natural -- uncheck.

3 fingers scroll up/down in Safari, on snow leopard

Hello,
Anyone knows how to activate in Safari the 3 fingers scroll up/down available in Firefox? I am using Snow Leopard.
Cheers!

HI,
*"I understand that this has to do with FlashPlayer plugin for Safari (btw, mine is the latest 10.0.32). Why wasn't this happening in 10.5? Is it because Safari is running in 64-bit mode? "*
Run Safari in 32-bit mode.
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click Get Info.
In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle where you see: General
Select: Open in 32-bit mode and close the Get Info window and restart your Mac.
Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling a *fresh copy* of the Flash player plugin helps.
Go here:

When you are finished uninstalling the old Flash plugin, go here and install a fresh copy of Flash Player plugin.

As with any software installation, repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

A problem with my mail in 10.8, crashes on scrolling down a PDF doc

Hey guys,
I've spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone today attempting to resolve this issue, fingers crossed an answer may be out there.
When I attached a PDF doc to an email, it embeds in the message, no dramas does take a little while to load it on, then when I scroll down the email to make sure it's the correct doc, the spinning curser of death shows and then 3-4 seconds later the email scrolls down but slowly loads sections of the PDF. At times the mail app crashes when it does this.
It doesn't matter about the file size or amount of pages (one page 87kb, or 10mb 6 pages) it always 'skips' or 'freezes' even on sent items.
I have:
unistalled Adobe, through my PDF's are all controlled by Preview
rebooted in safe mode etc and run by another user
done the whole CNTRL, OPT, SHIFT, P, R thing
hold down P and PWR and waited for 2 beeps
plus everything else
New to MacBook etc and I'm about to throw it as I can't opperate like this and costs me deals!
Any help, hints etc would be appreciated.

Hi - I'd guess that the adapter you bought is the problem ...do you have another to try? Also, having a guitar cable plugged into an 1/8in. adapter into your Macbook isn't the greatest situation as it really doesn't take a lot of cable movement for there to be a LOT of pressure on that small jack - which could easily screw up the insides. If you do try another adapter I'd suggest one with a longish/small cable attached so that you can plug your guitar in and not have any force on the jack at all.
I too can get a signal this way (I have active pickups), and when I switch to the Macbook's speakers as the output the signal is delayed quite a bit. I use (and really recommend) the Griffin iMic for any real work with Garageband or the laptop in general - the USB signal is better, the cable doesn't pose a problem (as mentioned above) and if you're looking to record other sounds it can handle both line and mic levels ...and of course the price is great. The next real step up from this is a firewire interface of some type.

Mavericks Mail-cannot scroll down to select a group by holding mouse button.

I do not like the new Mavericks mail. When I attempt to hold the left mouse button and scroll down to select a group, the program automatically locks onto the first message I touch and moves it. Prior to Mavericks scrolling was an easy process. This new mail is very clumsy and I have to select one message, then hold shift key, then selelct the last message in the group. ....Clumsy and slow.
Does anyone know a workaround for this? The tutorials don't address it and the "What's new in Mail?" file doesn't either. If there is not a workaround, is there a way to disable the Mavericks configuration in Mail and go back to regular mail? I'd appreciate any tips or help on this.

Okay, I tried deleting the Finder preferences first (along with a handful of other preference files that I knew were no longer needed), and it seemed to help--at first. But eventually, all the same problems started happening again, so I concluded that it was necessary to just start with a fresh (empty) preferences folder. As you know, this is a pain to deal with, but I limited my pain by moving all the old preferences files into a folder on the Desktop rather than simply deleting them. That way, I could just put back any missing preferences that were too hard to recreate. Restoring all of my preferences with new (uncorrupted) prefs files will be an ongoing process, but the good news is that this effort (so far) seems to have solved the problem. Mail is responding to all my clicks, even when I switch between different apps and different spaces. :-)
Now that things are working correctly, I notice that when I switch between apps and/or spaces, the selected app (or the frontmost app in the new space) will show an active state for its window, whereas before, the selected app didn't update to show that it was active--it kept the inactive state for its window. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that this might have something to do with the windowserver process, so it might make sense for the next person who stumbles on this thread to start by deleting any preferences files that begin with com.apple.windowserver. Just a hunch, but it's worth starting there before you do a complete flush of all your preferences.
Thanks again for the help--hopefully this workaround will be persistent. Fingers crossed!

Turn on AssistiveTouch: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch. To set Triple-click Home to turn AssistiveTouch on or off, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
Try the triple-click Home button. If necessary, use three fingers to scroll to turn AT off.

Web page keeps jumping to top when scrolling down.

When I scroll down a web page on my Macbook Air with 2 fingers, it keeps jumping up to the top again. This started yesterday, did not happen before.
Also, a rectangle of various sizes has started to appear on the page and this is most annoying.
Any help to rectify this would be appreciated.

Hi ottodv,
I was not able to reproduce this issue on my Flame device running v2.1.
This may be an issue specific to Geeksphone's build of Firefox OS. Are you able to reproduce this issue with other versions of Firefox OS?

Can I slow my trackpad scrolling down?!

I just installed windows on my mac. when I scroll on websites and such, the scrolling is way too fast for me to see what I'm scrolling. I slide both my fingers down a half an inch and it jumps an entire page. If I try slowly scrolling my fingers, then the page doesn't scroll. I just want to be able to scroll my fingers down 2 inches and have the sheet scroll down a couple lines.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Yes, you can slow it down. Not really a FIX per se, but more like a bandaid.
Just, click the ALT key while scrolling.
