How to dock scrollbars to window in Mountain Lion?

The scrollbars now float over the window and only appear when necessary. However, I'd like the scrollbars to dock themselves to the window frames as they did before. Anyone know how to do this? The reason is because the bottom item in a list always gets blocked by the scrollbar as in the screenshot below:

Thanks, David. I know this workaround. And one more with creating right-click Service. That's why I've used "uncomfortable" instead of "impossible". In my opinion, Apple should leave ability to choose OS's behavior, and I hoped somebody knew where to find it .

How do I shut down from the login window in mountain lion using the keyboard

how do I shut down/sleep/restart from the login window in mountain lion using the keyboard?

Hi Thomas, thanks for your reply.
Yes in standard start-up as it is and in recovery mode I still get the same message about Disk Utility being unable to repair the disk so I should back-up and restore.
Some posters have said that booting into safe mode should unmount the installer and allow rebooting back into Lion, that would allow me to back-up the files properly, as my last back up was (as is often the way) not too recent.
But I think your suggestion looks more likely to be he correct way to do it, and I'll take the hit on any data that I may lose.
Thanks again.

Command key activates wrong window in Mountain Lion

I've got some strange bug on my computer that has stumped every genius in the three Apple Stores I've been to--they even took it to the back to ask all the Genius' in the store, so it seems to be a nasty bug. so I figured maybe you all could help me out.
The issue is this: After I upgraded to Mountain Lion (from Snow Leopard) when I use my "command" key, it randomly activates a window other than the one in focus (on top) of the other windows. So, for example, if I'm in Safari and try to copy something (Cmd+C) but I also have Word open, it will switch to Word and copy whatever is in Word. It does this with all programs (even with Finder!), no matter what the Command function I'm trying to use. If I close the program, the strange behavior will stop for a short time and then come back with another program. When Cmd activates Finder, I have to relaunch Finder and that temporarily alleviates the problem. It does this odd behavior with an external keyboard (and the on-screen keyboard), meaning that it's a software, not hardware error.
I have taken the following actions to fix the problem:
- Reset PRAM (no change to problem)
- Using Disk Utility to repair permissions and verify disk (no change to problem)
- Created a new user on the computer (problem re-appeared after importing my backup files using MigrationAssistant)
- Created a new user on the computer and imported files without importing "Settings" but problem reappeared
- Reinstalled Mountain Lion (problem appeared after importing my backup files using MigrationAssistant)
The last Genius thought the error was due to an application corrupting some system-wide file in Mountain Lion, so we wiped my hard drive, reinstalled files, and imported my documents but not my apps. I manually installed one app at a time and had no issues for 3 months or so.
The problem "randomly" came back last week. Looking at apps that were installed recently, it shows:
- Flux (update - but Flux was on my computer for 3 months with no issues)
- Quicksand (update - but Quicksand was NOT on my computer last year when the problem started)
- VLC Media Player (this WAS on my computer last year but was NOT on my computer in the 3 months with no issue).
Thus, it seems that the culprit app was VLC. I've deleted it (using AppTrap to clear system files), but the problem still exists.
So, three questions:
1) Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, how to prevent it, or whether it might start again even if I wipe and reinstall everything?
2) I'd like to fix the problem without wiping my computer and doing a clean install of everything. Any ideas of how I could avoid doing that?
3) If I have to sacrifice VLC to solve the problem, fine, but I'd prefer not to. Any ideas as to how I could use it still?
TLDR: Command key activates wrong window in Mountain Lion; confirmed software issue; reinstall worked fine until installed VLC Media Player and problem returned; how do I fix it?

How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks

Hi all
I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
I would like to see answers like:
"In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
Regards

Thanks for your reply Eric
Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable?
Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do?
If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business.
I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?
Regards

I'm confused. I just got an email from Apple Support Community (updates) and I see that a "baltwo" response is marked "This solved my question" (no offense directed towards baltwo). The question just seems to be more defined, not resolved. This is an Apple OS problem (seemingly) and needs to be directed towards a technical representative, not the community. I would ask that if anyone knows how to push this issue towards Apple, that is where the solution lies.
File a bug report with Apple via feedback. Do note that this goes through marketing and sales. No telling when it'll get to engineering. Alternatively, if you want to report this issue directly to Apple's engineering, bypassing marketing and sales, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering and you'll be able to track its status.

How do I configure OS X Server (Mountain Lion) to deliver mail from another domain to my mailbox?

How do I configure OS X Server (Mountain Lion) to deliver mail from another domain to my mailbox?
I run a personal Server at my office. It's configured under my own domain as server.mydomain.com. It's setup that it properly receives and sends e-mail for mydomain.com. I use my own mailbox [email protected] to get all my personal mail.
I'm looking to add another domain as a secondary way for people to get to my content and information.
I want the same address [email protected] and [email protected] to arrive in the same mailbox at my server.
How do i do that?

it does look like you can add virtual domains in the GUI of Server.app on at least some versions, but I don't have an OS X Server 10.8 version handy to check.
I'd encourage spending some time to learn the command line. In general, the payoff for learning the command line will be worth the effort expended. You're running a mail server here and sooner or later the capabilities of the GUI will fail you. This whether due to a configuration omission in the GUI itself, or due to the need to troubleshoot a malfunctioning mail server, a need to automate one or more of the Postfix-related sequences, or some other IT-related task. Entirely FWIW, of course.
Here's a cut-and-paste of the sequence just used to test the command line access to the Postfix configuration, first fetching the current value, appending example.com as the second domain, then displaying the new value, then restarting the Postfix server. Don't enter the dollar signs; just the postconf command and following. Adjust example.com to match your domain...
$ postconf mydestination
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
$ sudo postconf -e 'mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, example.com'
Password: {your admin password here}
$ postconf mydestination
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, example.com
$ sudo postfix reload
The Postfix and Postconf commands work irrespective of the OS X Server version; the tools reference the data files as needed.

How do I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion for free?

How do I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion for free? I just bought a new Mac Book Pro 5 days ago with OS X Lion. The Apple store said I could download the new OS for free by entering the receipt # and total amount of the purchase. I don't know where to start or where to enter this information. Please help.

Hi,
Just go to http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ if in the US otherwise go to main Apple homepage, click on the 'Mountain Lion is here' icon then scroll to the bottom where it says 'Get a free upgrade with your new Mac'. All the info should be there. I did this myself yesterday and am now awaiting my coupon code to get it for free.

My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud? Also, does the ICloud include virus protection for files already on my Mac?

You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store (in your 'Applications' folder), then just run the installer: however you should first check that Mountain Lion can indeed run on your Mac. Please see this page:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
You might also want to look at this page to see whether any vital applications will be adversely affected:
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
In particular note that PPC applications such as AppleWorks will not run on Mountain Lion since Rosetta is not included and can't be added.

How to use remote desktop client in mountain lion

How to use remote desktop client in mountain lion.
I want to connect my other system(ubuntu) using mac remote desktop client, But i could not locate remote desktop client in moutain lion.

In Ubuntu 12.xx use Dash to find "Desktop Sharing" and set the preferences, including requiring a password.
Then in Ubu use System Settings > Network to determine your Ubu machine's IP address, such as 192.168.1.13.
On the Mountain Lion Mac do Finder > Go > Connect to Server and enter: vnc://192.168.1.13 or whatever your IP is. Enter the password that you used in the Ubu Desktop Sharing setup, when asked.
On the Ubu machine answer the question that pops up asking for permission to connect. Your Ubu screen will now show up on the Mac, and you can remote control it. Here I am running "Octave" (a math program) on the Ubu machine, remotely.
Works great! BTW, you can do this from an iPad too, using a VNC client such as Mocha VNC Lite. You can even run both remotes simultaneously.
Good luck.
