How to turn off two finger trackpad scrolling?

I would like to turn off two finger trackpad scrolling.
I checked the Trackpad System Preferences, but there is no option to turn off two finger trackpad scrolling.
I also checked the BetterTouch App, but it doesn't offer this basic option.
So, anybody outher, how can I turn it off? Is there an app for that?

ok, i finally found this OSX 10.7.4 user who had the same problem:https://discussions.apple.com/message/18570190#18570190
For Mavericks OSX 10.9 the solution is found in System Preferences / Accessibility
Kind of a strange place to hide a basic function for trackpad options and overall usability.
Uncheck the ( ) Scrolling box and the issue is resolved.
It's great to keep an interface simple, but this is a not an elegant solution.
Steve would have fired the team in charge ;-)

Two finger trackpad scroll doesn't work in Mac os 10.9

I just upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 and noticed that the little arrow buttons on the bottom of the scroll bar is no longer there. So I looked into other alternatives to scrolling windows up and down and found that the trackpad has the ability to do so using the two finger scroll feature. This would be great, except mine doesn't work. Other trackpad features work, but the scroll up and down does not. Any ideas to get this to work?

Use OnyX to clean your system and User cache files. It's free to download. Just click on the "Automation" tab, check the boxes and run it.

How to turn off mouse (or touchpad) scrolling when running vim in an xterm?

Just updated 13" macbook pro (mid-2010) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Yosemite (10.10.1). Previously, when running vim in an xterm, scrolling with the touchpad did nothing inside vim, it just scrolled the xterm history back so I could see what I had done before executing vim. Now, the same scrolling action (either with touchpad or with an external mouse with scrollwheel) moves the cursor position inside vim (if I'm in navigate mode). I want to turn this feature off. I'm sure some people like it but I do not. Anyone know whether this is something to be blocked by vim settings, or perhaps something in the xterm settings I need to change? Vim version is 7.3 (2010 Aug 15), which must be a slightly later version than I had under the original operating system, since I got it July 2010.
I've tried modifying various vim settings, but to no effect. I haven't found a comprehensive list of such settings to try systematically.

While I do not have Yosemite up and running at the moment, I cannot actually play with Yosemite Terminal.app. But you should at least look through the various Terminal -> Preferences to see if there is any configuration option that is telling the Terminal how to treat scroll operations. And try things like changing the "Declare terminal as: ............." setting, as that may affect the Terminfo database entry, which Vim uses to decide on what it does with various keyboard escape keys for input as well as displaying output (not sure if that would affect scrolling input, but it is worth a shot).
Instead of using X11 and xterm, consider giving iTerm a try. I have been using as my terminal emulator for years, and at work I live in terminal sessions, ssh'ed into various Linux, Solaris, AIX platforms.
<http://iterm2.com> A newer version
<http://iterm.sourceforge.net> an older but still viable version (I used this on my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 system)
iTerm will give you Tabbed windows just like Terminal (actually had Tabbed windows years before Terminal.app). It will allow you to define what a double-click selection thinks is a word. It has an option to automatically load anything selected into the copy/paste buffer.
NOTE: I have nothing against X11 and xterm. I also use X11 (XQuartz) all day as well as terminal sessions, with various Linux, Solaris, AIX X11 displays being sent back to my iMac at work, frequently using gvimdiff.

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

How to turn off quick alphabet scroll???

hi
how do you turn off the quick alphabet scroll??
I have the 60gb 5g ipod with latest f/w
the problem is that it's great to have the quick scroll, but once i got into that letter, it's hard to scroll to the middle without going to a different letter.
example... I want to go to "one step closer"... i would do quick scroll to letter "O"... but then i want to go to the middle to "one..."... but if i go too fast, it went to letter "P"... and so on... Is there an easier way???...
Man how much I would love to have that search function...

i know.... but once in letter "o"... i want to go to the middle of the list... say song "one ..."... If i scroll too fast it would just skip "o" and go to "p" and so on, start the alphabet scroll again...
let say I have 300 songs that start with the letter "O"... what is the best way to go lets ya somewhere in the middle... it would take a long time to scroll slowly to the middle of the letter 'o'... if i scroll too fast, it would skip 'o' and go to the next letter...
it's great to have the quick scroll, but also it's not...
The best is to have the search function...
for some reason apple don't want to release it for the older 5g ipod... they can release game download for the older 5g ipod, because they would make money of it...
I would pay $5 just to get that search function added to my ipod...

The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.

How to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

how to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

Hi jackie,
Not sure what you are wanting to do, but if you do not want to be signed into iCloud on your device, you would do that by deleting the iCloud account that is signed in on that device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and press the delete button. Type in the Apple ID/iCloud password, and then answer each prompt until it is complete.
This is done directly on the device. There is no way to "turn off" iCloud on your device via a computer, unless you wipe the device and remove it from your iCloud account under the Find My iPhone app, but that requires that you wipe the device before you can remove it:

One solution is to take a screen shot of the photo. That should make it last in line.
Another solution. Make a new album. Transfer the photos to the new album. Then change the photo order, by tapping select, hold your finger on the photo, move it, tap done.

How to turn off "re-open all application windows"

How to turn off "re-open all application windows". Even though its unselected in preferences. my computer still tries to do this and causes startup problems and delays. its been a hangup since lion. when are they going to fix this???

Try this. . .
You have two choices. You can choose that your applications not resume their previous state when you shutdown or restart the Mac by deselecting the checkbox that appears prior to shutdown:
Or you can navigate to the General pane in System Preferences and deselect the Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps option. However, if you do this, applications will never resume their previous state, even when quit and restarted during a single boot session.

I have a new iPod touch and the double tap feature is annoying. Does anyone know how to turn it off?

I think you have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

Just disable it -

I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them.
