I can no longer scroll on my iMac in Mavericks

For some reason completely unknown to me, I suddenly can no longer scroll, or even see scrollbars on my iMac, running Mavericks. It's been perfectly fine for months and just yesterday...poof! No scrolling.
At first I thought it was limited to Safari, but then noticed it's for all browsers and all programs on my computer.
Can anyone please help me with this? The only searches I've done show articles at least two years old.
P.S. I can "scroll" with the up-down arrow keys, but not with a mouse of any kind (wired or wireless), and the scroll bars do not appear until I use the arrow keys.
27", Late 2012 iMac
OS X 10.9.3

Leroy, this has to be the single most embarrassing thing I've ever done on a computer.
The restart worked.
In my own lame defense, I had just restarted my iMac prior to this occurring, so I figured the last thing that would fix this would be another restart.
I know you can't see it, but my head is hanging in shame!
Thank you for mentioning the restart. I'm always telling people to reboot before doing anything else, and this time, I should have done it myself.
I'm going to go hide under a rock for a while.
Thanks again!

  • I can no longer scroll in Word

    I can no longer scroll through a document in Word, can someone tell me how to fix it?

    you have provided minimal information in your question. to help, we need lots!
    what version of Word? -  Apple Menu > About Microsoft Word
    what has changed since this began? update / upgrade software - system or App?
    have you updated Yosemite to version 10.10.*1* ? -- in the Finder -  Apple Menu > About this Mac
    to clarify, scrolling is normal in all other App & Finder windows?
    In Word, are the scroll bars 'present' (visible)?
         if present, are all scroiling functions failing?
              mouse click
                   arrows - both 'fine' and 'page' <-(my Word version has its own scroll unique button versions, separate from System)
                        up, down, left, right - (last two depends on Zoom of page)
                   in the blank areas of the scroll bars - 'page' or 'jump to here' as set in System Prefs *(see OS X Yosemite: General preferences )
                   click, hold & drag the scroll BAR itself
    does the page scroll using the arrow keys?
         when the text cursor moves past the visible portion of the document page?
         when using key combination - fn Function + 'up' or 'down' and/or fn Function + 'left' ('Home' or top of page) & 'right' ('End' or bottom of page)
    these answers will get us started...
    with anticipation

  • I can no longer scroll through app selections in Genius iPad

    I can no longer scroll through app selections in Genius on my iPad in the App Store. I see the first row and half of the second row and cannot scroll. This is a new condition. Landscape or portrait is the same.

    Just adding my voice as well.
    Had this issue for awhile now. Believe it must have surfaced after last iOS update.
    Quite annoying since Genius was a good way to quick browse for new app suggestions.

  • Satellite P series - I can no longer scroll using edge of the touch pad

    Please can anyone tell me why I can no longer scroll using the edge of the touch pad.
    This seems to have occurred since I had to reinstall Vista following a problem with some faulty Ram.
    Thanks

    Hi
    One reason can be a missing touchpad driver.
    But if the touchpad driver has been installed, then you should check the settings of the touchpad.
    In control panel -> mouse you will find the touchpad properties. It should be the last tab.
    There you can check enable and disable and configure many options.
    Cheers

  • Since the latest version of itunes, my playlists are "too large" to fit on the computer screen.  I can no longer scroll down because the far right side of the screen is too far over.  How can I minimize the screen or be able to scroll down my list?  Thx!

    Since the latest version of itunes, my playlists are too large to fit on the screen. The left side, with all my playlists is still there, but  I can no longer scroll down the chosen playlist as the far right is no longer accessible.  Any suggestions on how to minimize the list?  Thanks.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

    I can no longer scroll past text messages.  The pictures are all still available in the details button but it sill not scroll back.  Did a carrier update recently but that is the only thing that I can think might have mixed things up.  there was one other poster with the same issue.  Anyone else have this problem?

    I Can no longer scroll to see old text messages.  Old pictures are still available using the details button but old messeges are not viewable.  I recently was prompted to do a carrier update.  Thought that may have contributed.

  • I can no longer scroll with the button on my touch pad. Have tried everything on Firefox help and still can't scroll....HELP please.

    I have just updated to the Firefox 4 Beta and from having no problems at all with the previous version I can now no longer scroll. I have reloaded my touch pad drivers and also been onto "about:config" and altered various things suggested by 'firefox help' and still no luck. The scroll button on the touch pad does still work as I can still scroll in Thunderbird and any of the other programs that I use, just not with Firefox any longer. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

    Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.
    I might have uninstall an old Java JRE, don't remember when I did it, could that have done it?

  • I can no longer scroll through pages in Google Books.

    Late last year I suddenly noticed I could no longer scroll through the pages of Google eBooks when visiting the site. I am forced to click the < and > arrows to toggle through the pages (and incidentally, before I noticed this, I had the option of arrow navigation or scrolling). This makes it difficult to use this particular Google product, and I am forced to move more and more of my activities to the Chrome browser.

    Just adding my voice as well.

  • Can no longer scroll after download to firefox 5

    I can't vertically scroll since downloading firefox 5 from 3.6.18'''bold text'''

    Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • 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?

    cfromflorida,
    Try swiping left/right works for me.

  • How come I can no longer scroll down via my laptop mouse-pad with Firefox 4.0?

    You know how you can use the mouse-pad on a laptop to scroll down on a web-page? I used to be able to do that in in the one before 4.0, but no longer can...anyone else have this problem?

    Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.

  • Elitebook 840 G1 touchpad broken - can no longer scroll with gestures anymore.

    Hi
    I switched on my Elitebook this morning and i noticed that the touchpad is functioning as it is normally. i can use the touchpad to move the pointer around the screen but I am no longer able to scroll up and down the screen using gestures.
    Ive had a look around the forum to see if anyone else was suffering from the same problem but its mostly people with totally non functioning touchpads. The yellow light in the top corner is not on but i have double tapped it a few times to see if this would reactivate the touchpad gestures without luck. Ive also shutdown and removed the battery, then held the power button for 30 seconds before releasing, installing the battery and switching on again Still no joy.
    Ive gone in to the control panel and under mouse section there is only generic controls for an external mouse, there does not seem to be any menus for the touchpad or associated controls. Im sure this is something quite simple and is just a setting that needs switching on but im at a loss to where it is.
    Any help would be appreicated.
    Thanks
