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.

    How can i SLOW [not speed] scrolling speed in Windows FF?

    I'm not very familiar with trackballs, but I'll add a comment regarding the keyboard part.
    ''ameame [[#answer-722079|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    When i press my spacebar or keyboard arrow key, [all] pages scroll too fast.</blockquote>
    On my Firefox, the spacebar skips down a screenful at a time, like the PgDn key. When that repeats, it's certainly going to cover a lot of ground, and a lot faster than the down arrow key. But pressing the spacebar a few times can be efficient if you don't hold it down continuously.
    The distance covered by the up and down arrow keys can be modified using a different preference:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''scroll''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Scroll all the way down to '''toolkit.scrollbox.verticalScrollDistance''' which usually has a default value of '''3'''
    * If the preference is bolded and user set to a value higher than 3, use right-click > Reset to set it back to 3 and test how that works for you (test on a normal web page, not the about:config page)
    * To reduce the number of lines below 3, double-click to edit and type a smaller number and then you can test that (test on a normal web page and not the about:config page)
    Does that help at all?
    ''Note: I assume you are not using "Caret Browsing" which moves the cursor through the text of the document when you press the up and down arrow keys. The results can be somewhat unpredictable depending on the layout of the page. If you want to test that feature, you can turn it on and off by pressing the F7 function key.''

    Mac or Windows? What input device? If it's a Wacom tablet, do you have the latest version of the driver?

  • All my pdf files are very slow to download, scroll down and/or read.

    I am having difficulties opening any pdf files as it is very slow, does not scroll down easily and just plain cumbersome.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?  Additionally, as soon as I want to open the file, the fan on the cpu starts.  I am not sure if they are related, but it just happens all the time.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Have you verified speed via speedtest.net ?
    Have you checked at different times?
    Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify interference
    Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS (settings - network - configure DNS - automatic)

    Hi bbyn,
    If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

  • I was listening to an audiobook and somehow managed to speed up the reader, How can I slow the reader back down to a reasonable speed?

    I was listening to an audiobook and somehow managed to make the reader talk faster. How can I slow the reader back down?

    On the right side of the playing screen right below the scurbber bar is the speed setting box.  It has 1/2X, 1X or 2X, the playback speeds.  Tap the bax to change and cycle through the speeds.

  • View pages by scrolling down not across

    Is there any way of making Adobe scroll down the pages rather than across?  Eg when there are say 5 pages to a pdf I have to go from page 1 and scroll across to page 2 then back to the left for page 3 then back to the right for page 4 and back to the left for page 5.  I would like to know if the pages can be viewed by simply scrolling down not backwards and forwards across the screen?

    The only view option is from the web browser so that was not an option.  However, I did find a button at the bottom of the screen within Adobe that does the trick.  Button with a square on it.  Obviously means, single page scrolling even though there is no rollover text.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Can't swipe back on websites any more..the page just freezes and i have to close it...this happens with both the trackpad and magic mouse. Also can't scroll down in iCal...any advice please?

    While browsing online tonight my Wi-Fi failed and then after restarting I noticed that I can no longer swipe "back" on websites...when I swipe back to go to a previous page the browser just freezes – can’t click anything or navigate to another site – I have to close the browser and reopen it.
    This happens in both Safari and Google Chrome with both Trackpad and Magic Mouse.
    Also noticed that I can no longer scroll down in iCal… All the other gestures seem to be responding normally.
    Anyone have advice as to how I can fix this?

    Restart your computer and try again.
    Double check your AppleMenu()>System Preferences>Trackpad
    for all custom settings here.

  • Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll.

    Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll. I am able to use my mouse to scroll through internet searches.  It only seems to have affected my email messages.

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • How can I slow down the music of my clip?

    How can I slow down the music of my clip?

    Try using the following code after each time you write to the TextArea.  I am assuming you are using a TextArea component and are trying to control the position of where it is scrolled to when it refreshes with the chat data.
    "ta" is the instance name of the TextArea
    ta.verticalScrollPosition = ta.maxVerticalScrollPosition;

  • Scrolling Down in Movie List Slow - before & after 2.0 update

    I have an issue where scrolling down in a movie list is slow, yet going up is fine.
    Pressing down takes as much as 10 seconds before it will move to the next movie. Sometimes I only have 3 or 4 movies, and still the same issue.
    Doesn't seem to affect other lists, and if you hit the remote twice, it will go down twice, but with the 10 second pause in-between. It almost seems like it is waiting for the thumbnail view of the movie, and once that appears, it seems to behave.
    Have 10+ gigs free, have hard reset and downloaded all new updates again. I have Gigabit hardwire throughout (even though this only connects at 100Mbps), so I do not think it is a LAN issue.
    This is happening with 1.1 and 2.0.
    Most movies are 720P AVI or MKV files that I run through VisualHub 1.30, using AppleTV settings, Go Nuts, and x.264 - sorry I can't be more specific in this area.
    I am thinking something is either wrong with one or all of the videos, or the TV itself.
    I searched, and could not find anything quite like this (actually one thread that had no answer). So I am stumped...

    I had the same problem with music videos that I download then converted myself. The wait on the way down is caused by your aTV taking time togenerate a thumbnail to display for your movie. For reasons unknon to me, some movies are harder to generatethumbnails for than others. It even happens when I open itunes and highlight a video, and wait for the thumbnail to appear in the lower left corner....some take much longer than others.
    A fix I've figured out is to simply add your own artwork to all of your movies. You can make an image yourself, or just download any picture (relatively small) from the internet, and change the artwork for every movie to one picture (or you can put a different one for each movie...just google pic search a picture for your movie and drag it into the artwork window).
    If you do this for all of your movies, scrolling will be very simple...

  • Can't scroll down in itunes

    the bit where there's meant to be a scroll bar that you drag to scroll up and down is like it's cut off..title explains it all basically. can't scroll in music library, sync windows, store.

    I was having the same problem on Windows 7.  Like the answer states above you can use a mouse and scroll wheel.  But I'm on a laptop.  The solution was to click both the left and right buttons under the trackpad which activated the scroll wheel and brought the scroll bar back. 

  • Can't scroll down in iPhone 'summary'?

    In iTunes, most recent version, just updated iPhone 4 to 5.1.1, and I'm in the summary section of my phone in iTunes, but I can't scroll down? There is no scrolly bar on the right, and everytime I press the down arrow after clicking in the screen area, it just goes down to the next section of my iPhone (Music). Please help! I need to check the manually manage music box because I hate anything that involves syncing. Thankyou so much in advance.

    Found the solution, to anyone else having this problem, just use two fingers on your trackpad downwards, and the scroll will appear.

  • Safari 5.1.x bug? Can't scroll down while dragging text.

    I'm new to Safari. Formerly I was a Firefox user.
    Usually, when dragging down text, and the cursor reaches the end of the displayed screen, it automatically scrolls down as long as the user is dragging down the text by mouse or trackpad.
    However, I recently found out, Safari 5.1.x doesn't work that way.
    Dragging text up works as I expected, but dragging down doesn't. This is why I believe this is a bug.
    I made a YouTube video showing this behavior.

    Any idea?

    Hi...
    Not sure what's causing this but you can report bugs to Apple from your Safari menu bar. Safari > Report Bugs to Apple.
    And try deleting the cache associated with Safari. Seems to do a more thorough job then emptying the cache from the Safari GUI.
    Quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Launch Safari to test.

  • In ical, only since the update, when I look at the day view, I can no longer scroll down indefinitely; it stops at one day only

    Since the update, when I use ical , and am on the day view, I no longer can scroll down through multiple days; it stops at one day only. Seems like a poor design change. Any idea how to reverse this?
