Can decouple the scrolling direction for trackpad and mouse wheel?

Hi,
When you set the trackpad to scroll inversely using the "moving the frame" methophor, the mouse wheel behaves the same. But if you go to the mouse setting to set the wheel to scroll according to the direction of the finger, it affects the trackpad settings too... Can these two be decoupled?
Also, when I post stuff here, does product team see these, or I should raise an actual ticket?

Apple does not normally read these forums.  You can tell Apple your thoughts:

The scrolling thing is not a "bug" so you'll want to get as many people to complain so that Apple includes an option in a future update.

  • Scrolling direction for touchpad and mouse.

    Is there any way to select "natural scrolling" for the touchpad and old style scrolling for a mouse?

    You can create an AppleScript app and drop on the desktop that can quickly do it for you. Enable access for assistive devices must be checked in Accessibility in System Preferences for it to work.
    Code:
    tell application "System Preferences"
      activate
              set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.trackpad"
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
              tell process "System Preferences"
                        click radio button "Scroll & Zoom" of tab group 1 of window "Trackpad"
      click checkbox 1 of tab group 1 of window "Trackpad"
              end tell
    end tell
    tell application "System Preferences"
      quit

  • Reverse the scroll direction for my track pad

    i just updated to mavericks and i can't figure out how to reverse the scroll direction for my track pad

    ? Are you saying that the option isn't there? Mine is in the "Mouse" section.
    See this:

  • Changing the scrolling direction for my mouse will change the scrolling direction for my trackpad

    I really like the new feature "natural scrolling" with the trackpad, but when I use my mouse, the scrolling direction is reversed as well. So I tried to change the settings of my usb mouse (razer diamondback) from "natural" back to the old scrolling. Unfortunately it also changed my trackpad settings back to normal.
    Is there a possibility to use my mouse scrolling the "old style" while using the "natural scrolling" with my trackpad ?

    I've said a very similar thing in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3290807?start=15&tstart=0
    The thing is that someone from Nova Scotia posted a link in that thread to "Scrollreverser", and it looks like that tool can actually de-couple mouse and trackpad scrolling.
    I've sent the proprietor of the app an e-mail asking if it will also work in Lion... If the answer is yes, this might do you fine...

  • Decouple trackpad and mouse scrolling?

    I am using a Magic Trackpad and Logitech LX7 on a MacPro 1,1 running Lion.
    I have tried (using System Preferences for mouse and trackpad) to revert the scroll wheel action to scroll in the "old" direction but when I try that the trackpad scrolling direction also changes.
    Is there a way to decouple the scrolling direction of the trackpad and mouse wheel?

    I am with you both too. I like natural scrolling on my trackpad, but not on a scroll ball for a mouse. The only solution I can find is what someone else brought up in a different thread: there is an app called "Scroll Reverser" that lets you choose which input devices (mouse, trackpad, or tablet) are reversed. Be warned, it is quite confusing to get set up. At least it was for me. But It is working fine now and is just what I wanted.

    p.s. if this solves your problem, don't forget to mark your problem as "Solved" so others can find the answer too.

  • Can you change the units used for size and position in layout editor?

    Hello,
    In Aperture 3.4, does anyone know if you can change the units used for size and position in layout editor?  The page is set in inches, but the image size and position are given in centimetres and I would prefer to work all in inches to create custom layouts.  I can't see any way to change this.  If anyone knows how it would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

    Aperture uses the unit settings defined in the System Preferences.  Set the "Measurement Units" in the "Region" tab of the "Language & Text" preferences to "US"; the Aperture will display the Size & Position in inches, if it is the "Book" layout manager you are asking about.
    Merry Christmas!

  • Can I change the scroll direction of the trackpad without changing the scroll direction of the mouse scroll wheel?

    I don't know if anyone else came across this problem, but I noticed that changing the scroll direction on the trackpad also changes the scroll direction on the mouse. I enjoy the natural movement on the trackpad, but the normal 'windows-style' movement on the mouse. Any solution?

    I too have same issue. By default trackpad has natural scroll direction. However for mouse natural scroll direction causes problem, if you used to use wheel on the mouse on Windows and Linux platform. If I change the mouse's wheel direction to non-natural direction. It fixes the issue. However it changes the trackpad's direction also to be non-natural, which is not good.
    Both the settings can be independent of each other. (i.e. mouse's scroll direction and trackpad's scroll direction).

  • Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard?  I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard.  Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard.  I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard.  Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

    Hi,
    Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
    Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8

  • HT201272 How do I remove DRM-protected tracks?  I've purchased iTunes match and followed all of the directions for redownloading and I still can't play some of my tracks on the DJay 2 app.  Please help!  Do I need to purchase these tracks all over again?

    How do I remove the DRM-Protection from tracks so that I can play them on my DJay 2 app.  I've followed the directions for removal and it's not working...
    Will I have to purchase these tracks again?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

  • The scroll bar for Firefox cannot be controlled by the mouse, the only way I can scroll is with the arrow keys, help!!

    I have a brand new Dell Alienware laptop running Windows 7 and I just installed the latest Firefox browser. My problem is that the scroll bar for the browser does not work when using the mouse... the mouse cannot control the scroll bar either by clicking the up or down arrow or by dragging the bar with the mouse. The only way for me to scroll using Firefox is to use the arrow keys on my keyboard.

  • Can't do the finger spread on trackpad and increase size

    I used to be able to do the the finger spread on trackpad and increase size of pages on internet and some other things like Word. I looked at sys prefs and it's checked. What's up and can I do anything about it?
    Thanks.

    Actually, the problem has been going on for a while, at least a couple weeks, so I have rebooted many times. A bit perplexing. I can do the expansion/contraction thingy in FCP, but not elsewhere that I used to.
    Thanks for the reply!

  • I have multiple devices (imacs, lap tops and ipads) all connected to a NAS server.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife, and each have our own apple ID, and Itunes accounts, but all share the same media on NAS drives?

    I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives?  So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?

    You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.)  This will prevent you from ending up with merged data.  You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

    If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps?  Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then?  Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way?  In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone?   Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

  • I received the following message when iTunes launches: "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's or DVD's are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning softwarre.  Please reinstall iTunes"

    Everytime I connect my iPod Touch (4th Gen) to my laptop, running Win 7 (64 bit) I get the message "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes"  I have reinstalled iTunes several times and it has not fixed the issue.  I am running ver 10.2.2.12 of iTunes.  I HAVE NOT installed any other burning software to my laptop either.  I haven't tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it yet.  Would that perhaps fix the problem?  I've read that many users have had issues with the new version of the software and I was wondering if that might be causing my issue.  I'd like to point out that iTunes seems to work after getting rid of the message, but I haven't tried to burn any CDs or put music from a CD to my laptop.  Any ideas on how to get rid of the annoying message?
    I also am having trouble hooking up with our other computers using  Homegroup.  I noticed quite a lot of people are having the same issue and hopefully they come up with a fix for that soon.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:
