How to fix scrolling inertia?

I just bought a new 13" retina macbook pro.  I used migration assistant to migrate my files and applications from my 2010 macbook air.  Since the upgrade, scolling inertia only works very ocassionally when doing a two finger scroll.  Every once in a while, I notice that it has worked, but it generally stops working almost immediately and continues not to work.  I do most of my scrolling in Chrome, but every time I've tried Safari, the scrolling has been broken there as well.   It only rarely works in Thunderbird. It works about half the time in TextMate.
I have made sure that the [ Accessibility -> Trackpad Options ...-> Scrolling with inertia ] option is checked.  I had Better Touch Tool installed on my macbook air to allow a three finger swipe to execute 'end' and 'home', but I have removed BTT entirely from this computer since the upgrade, and inertia has continued to work only ocassionally since I removed it.
Anybody got any ideas what's going on?

My workaround for this problem is to open the tabbed pdf document into a new Firefox window (Right-Click tab --> Move to New Window) which unlocks scrolling capabilities for all tabs in your original window.

  • [SOLVED] disabling synaptics scroll inertia

    How can I disable scrolling inertia (scrolling continues after releasing your finger from the side of the touchpad)? I have a T400 with a synaptics touchpad, and I haven't found any xorg option that would do the job. It's pretty annoying when deciding to close a tab in a web browser with ctrl-w while the touchpad is still sending scroll events. It zooms / unzooms the page like crazy just before closing it.

    You should open a new thread and link back to this one.

  • I am having problems with my optical corded mouse that came with my iMac (it's about 2 years old) It stops working periodically, and I can't figure out how to fix it; doesn't look like I can open it to clean it, or anything like that.

    My corded optical mouse (model A 1152),which came with my desktop  iMac, stops working periodically.  The little tracball may work scrolling down a page, but not up, sometimes, and I have yet to figure out how to fix it, or why it happens at all.  Is there someone who has had that problem, and what did you do?

    Hello:
    Turn the mouse upside down and run it (vigorously) over a piece of paper.  Better yet, run it over a microfiber cloth.

    My ipad is saying I have app updates to install, but won't allow me to update. The update screen is blank. Any ideas on how to fix?

    There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
    Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

  • Items not showing up in library while visible in smart playlists. How to fix?

    I just added some music to my iTunes Library. It shows up in my Recently Added smart playlist, as well as newly created smart playlists, but for some reason it isn't in my library. I've searched for it, I've used the column browser, I've tried just scrolling through my Library and it just isn't there. All the tags are correct, and when looking at my iTunes Media folder in Finder, the songs are correctly placed in the Music/Artist/Album folder tree of the iTunes Media folder.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    PS. My iTunes Media folder isn't located on my Macintosh HD, I've moved it to an Airport Disk and pointed iTunes to it in its preferences.

    The problem just fixed itself. I got irritated and quit messing with it. When I came back an hour later, it was fixed.

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Go to internet options,
    Advanced section, uncheck display a notification of every script error, apply and okay.
    Close and open a new window,
    If it doesn't stop,
    Go to the security section,
    Custom level button, scroll down near the bottom and disable xss filter, apply and okay.

  • How to fix IE script errors

    I am continuously getting script errors....sometimes after every key stroke I type (this just started happening about a week ago).
    I've gone to the Advanced tab of the Internet Properties and found that the "Disable script debugging" box is checked....and the "Display a notification about every script error" is unchecked.....which are the recommendations I've read about on how to fix
    this problem.  Since these boxes are already checked/unchecked appropriately, what is causing these script error problems.....and how can I get rid of them?
    Thanks
