I can only scroll using the arrow keys. In IE/C I can use the touch pad to slide my fingers to scroll. Why cant i do this in FF?!?!
On my laptop (and most for that matter) you can use the touch pad to slide your fingers to scroll thru a web page. I cannot do this in firefox. It is very annoying and I dont know why cant do this?
I have reinstalled FF and it still wont scroll! Every other browser i can scroll thru a web page using the touch pad method.
Why cant i do this on FF?
Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Full keyboard access is useful for people who have difficulty using a mouse. Safari supports standard full keyboard access shortcuts for buttons and menus. If you choose, you can also use the keyboard to highlight links in webpages.
To turn on full keyboard access:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Keyboard & Mouse.
Click Keyboard Shortcuts.
Select the checkbox to turn on full keyboard access.
To highlight links in webpages using the Tab key:
Choose Safari > Preferences and click Advanced.
Select the option to highlight each item on the web page using the Tab key.
With full keyboard access turned on, Safari uses the standard shortcut keys to access menus and windows, plus the additional shortcuts shown in the table.
Hope this helps!!

I know this sounds crazy but I have "lost" my arrow key at the top of the screen to go forward or back. I'm sure it used to be there but it's really bugging me that I can't find it. It's a real pain trying to go one page back. Help?!
If this is Safari that you've lost the arrows in, go to Safari > view > show toolbar.
If the toolbar is present and the arrows missing then right click on the toolbar and select "customize toolbar".
Drag the arrows or the default set back to the bar.

Whenever I click in a window pane to scroll using my arrow keys it is placing a cursor in the window and scrolling off of it, instead of scrolling the entire page by using the arrow key it is scrolling by the cursor location inside of the window like a word document.

Even within this text field as I type, all is normal, but backspacing using the arrow keys (and then also forward spacing using the arrow keys as I return to typing) erases bits of the text. Once I begin typing again in this field, the erased components restore to normal. This effect can be captured in a screenshot. Upon closer inspection, there appears to be a second invisible cursor, one full character to the right of the visible cursor. So when arrow backspacing, the invisible cursor trails the visible one, wrecking the text behind. When forward spacing using the arrow keys the text gets wrecked in front of the visible cursor.
I am guilty of not following up. The above solution "appeared" to work for me until I realized that now, the text does not erase bits on the same line as my cursor but erases any text on the line below my cursor... so if I am typing above other text, these semi-invisible marks chop up the text below where I am backspacing. Yes, I know - put this in David Letterman's, "Museum of the hard to believe".

Why can't I advance a video frame-by-frame with the arrow keys?
I am able to play a video, and to scrub through by clicking and dragging the play head, but when the video is paused, my arrow keys won't advance frame-by-frame. Is there a place that I have to enable the arrow key function? I've looked through the Preferences but didn't see anything. Anybody know how to get this to work? Thanks!!

The scroll bar on the right is gone the only way I can move the screen up or down is with the arrow keys Why how do i get it back and have it stay there
Yep. For all us spreadsheet geeks, this is a real sinker. Anyway, here's my workaround. Not free, unfortunately. I have a macro program called QuicKeys installed on my Mac that I've used for countless years, and which I highly recommend for other reasons. Anyway, one of QuicKeys' many features is simulating a scroll wheel using the keyboard. I have it simulating a cell-by-cell scroll using cmd-arrow keys. The only drawback is that I have to release the cmd key each time I want to move another cell.

I have a brand new Dell Alienware laptop running Windows 7 and I just installed the latest Firefox browser. My problem is that the scroll bar for the browser does not work when using the mouse... the mouse cannot control the scroll bar either by clicking the up or down arrow or by dragging the bar with the mouse. The only way for me to scroll using Firefox is to use the arrow keys on my keyboard.

I can't scroll using the arrow keys!!
I have been having a problem lately where I cannot scroll within applications using the up and down arrow keys. on my macbook, using the arrow keys is something i liked to do to scroll in a page instead of using the trackpad, and now it doesn't work... I've noticed it in every web browser installed on the laptop (Safari, Firefox, Camino) and also doesn't work in itunes (making it annoying to easily scroll to another song in the library!) or AIM or other programs... anybody know how I can fix this? thanks.

Have new update but when i am on trying to sync I have no scroll down bar to select option on the bottom of pages so sync is not done with all i want on it. Using my arrow keys also dont work. I have deleted itunes and reinstall but its still the same. Any ideas?
iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

Honestly I'm not sure if these began just after I updated FF to the current release, but it's been happening for at least 2 weeks. The arrow keys and page up and page down keys all work as if I'm pressing the 'home' and 'end' keys on my keyboard. This is only when using FF. Please contact me if you need more clarification. Thanks in advance!

When adding a bookmark sometimes the web page name is too long. I used to be able to use my mouse, highlight the letters/words that I don't want, then use delete to truncate the desired bookmark name. Since the latest update/upgrade, Firefox won't let me use the mouse to click anywhere in the popup box. I can only use the arrow keys and the delete key.

How can I control the order of iDVD menu items using the Arrow keys?
I have a submenu screen containing 10 selectable buttons plus the Return Arrow button. I have ordered all the slideshows in the correct order in the DVD map. However, when I run the program, the arrow keys jump the selection focus in an apparently random sequence. How can I control the order of the selection focus?
I'm using iDVD v 7.1.2
TIA.
RonHi
There is one thing You might miss in iDVD - So do I - the ability to re-arrange in the DVD map (block diagram)
The order things will be pplayed or addrssed is same as the order each item is introduced into iDVD.
To my knowledge ther is no way around this.

My arrow scroll mechanism is no longer there (Firefox 3.6 in Mac) ... I can only move an 'invisible' arrow up and down to the right ...
I had first installed F 4.00 beta, but got rid of that one fast ... it couldn't deal with any add-ons, and it was even loading films in YouTube!
I thus installed F 3.6, and have no scroll arrows to the right, but I can move my cursor north or south on the right-hand side, which moves the page.Wow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
Thank you so much! -
Question: Inadvertently a visiting toddler gained access to my computer during a visit. He's obviously fiddled with something as I can no longer use my arrow keys to navigate through my albums or events on iPhoto. Only one pic shows up in the album view - I can't see any thumbnails. To see the other pics I have to use the scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. Please help!
Depeding on your version of iPhoto: On the left (iPhoto 11) or right (earlier versions) of the lower frame of the iPhoto Window you'll see a slider. Drag it left.

After zooming in on an object using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time
After zooming in on an object, using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time.
Versions:
Illustrator CS6, latest update
Mac OS X 10.9.4
FontAgent Pro 6.2
Troubleshooting I've tried
-trashed all related Illus. preferences
-updated the only plug-in being used (FontAgent Pro), to the latest
-disabled all but absolutely necessary fonts
-repaired both system and user permissions
-quit all other apps, so that only Illus. running.
-fonts verified
Was never a problem until a couple weeks ago, so the obvious question is "what changed?". The two things we changed in the time period that the crashing started, is we replaced a balky external drive with a new one, and started our TimeMachine backups over again. And #2, we updated to the latest CS6 versions (due to other quirky issues).
One odd thing to point out...perhaps is "normal", but in the crash reports, it's reporting that Illustrator is 16.0.0, but "About Illustrator" shows that it's 16.2.2.
Everything else running fine on this iMac -- no reason to suspect it's the operating system.
Has anyone run into this bug? If so, what have you done to fix this?
I've not seen anything like this mentioned in Adobe's update change logs or their troubleshooting info.-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select "Navigation Toolbar"
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
-> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE any Unwanted/Suspicious Extension (add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable the Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.
