IChat not scrolling properly

Every time I open iChat, my buddy list appears all offline until I scroll. Then when I do scroll, it fixes. But it will not allow me to scroll to the top.
Well, it does. It just appears to me that I have not -- i.e. if I double click somewhere, it is as though I've double clicked well above where I have (on another buddy).
I'm not sure when or why this happened.
I've tried un- and re-installing with the OS disc.
Anyone have any advice?

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
First of all did you use the 10.6.6 COMBO update afterwards to update iChat ?
Lets see if I try to explain what I think you said and see if we can agree on a description for the main issue.
1) The Buddy list does not seem to have normal behaviour when Logging In.
It show most Buddies as Off Line.
2) Scrolling the Buddy list does seem to "solve" 1) to some extent in that On Line Buddies are now shown.
Question A)
Do you mean Visible ? Is iChat showing you the lower part of the List and you have to Scroll to see the On Line ones ?
3) Somewhat linked to this is a possible Mouse-over Problem where the cursor pointer and Click do not seem to match the Response from the Buddy List.
Questions B)
(Yes it was plural)
Do you have the Buddy list reduced by using the View Menu > Show Buddy Pics in the Off setting (Unticked) ? (It makes no difference if the Audio or Video Icons are not shown - well not to the size/depth of each line)
Also, do you have Chax Installed and have you changed the Font and/or Size of the Buddies' Names or the Status Messages ?
(NOTE:- If you have the Buddy List wide enough in the above question the Status Message will appear on the same line as the Buddy's Name)
Have you used System Preferences > Universal Access (Mouse Tab) or any other app to Change the size of the Cursor/Pointer ?
With this last question, If I use Universal Access the response seems connected to the point of the Pointer no matter how large I display it.
Have you changed the Screen Resolution at all ?

Ipod touch will not scroll properly

My ipod touch will not scroll properly and when I try to click on something it does not open the thing I wanted it to. Is there any way for me to fix this? It's a 4th gen.

First, you may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn them 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:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Logicool mouse not scrolling properly after clean install

I decided to refresh my Macbook Pro this weekend, and since then, my Logicool T631 hasn't been scrolling properly. Before the wipe, everything was fine, and there has been no damage to the mouse. My preferences all seem to be in order. Does anyone know what happened? May be unrelated, but the mouse also seemed to pair itself with my freshly mindwiped machine, and worked from the jump without me pushing any buttons or inputting any codes.
For example, vertical scrolling is currently horizontally moving the page. More often, simple scrolling barely moves at all, then jumps the page all the way to the bottom, or close to it, using the same motion.

Try resetting the PRAM......other than that, I have no thoughts.

IChat not connecting properly or reliably to AIM

hi there folks
i've read with interest the various problems other people are having with this and the suggestions that have been offered. so far, nothing has improved my situation. here are some relevant details:
- iChat will not reliably logon to AIM, though when this happens Bonjour works fine. when I try to log on, i often just see my buddy list grey-ed out - eventually my online buddies will show up at the top (as they should) but then quite often the next listed symptom will occur.
- if/when iChat has logged in successfully, it will often crash silently in the background. the symptom here is that any outgoing messages do not appear in the iChat window and subsequent messages are ignored by iChat, but when the application is logged off i get the return messages, meaning that my first message IS getting through though iChat is not showing that it did, and I do not see the responses until i log off.
- the only thing that seems to have worked to mitigate all this is waiting some period of time (not predictable - could be 5 minutes, could be an hour) before trying to log back on again. occasionally rebooting the mac will work, but this may be related to the time factor.
- this scenario happens on multiple computers in multiple locations (even in other countries), using different routers. my desktop at home is a mac mini PPC running X.4.10 connected via ethernet to a linksys router. my desktop here at work is the G5 listed below, connected via ethernet to an Airport Extreme base station. my laptop is a macBook core2duo 2.0 mhz, running X.4.10 and connecting wirelessly, and exhibits these symptoms at both locations with both routers.
all computers were updated to their current OS status using combo updaters.
if I run AIM 4.7 on the work desktop, it connects with no problem, so it doesn't seem to be an account-related issue with AIM. the fact that the identical problems exist across different machines running different OS versions and with different routers in different locations leaves me scratching my head.......
any insights into how to solve this would be most appreciated. any additional information needed will be gladly provided.
best regards,
hiltonius

ok, just in the interest of completeness.....
i believe i have solved the problem today, and thought i'd share my experience in case someone else can benefit from it.
in pursuit of another way of using iChat, I was introduced to "jabber" and started configuring new accounts on my home desktop and my laptop to access AIM, Yahoo, and MSN all through jabber. got all that working fine.
in the process of creating new accounts in iChat, the prefs file gets re-written - and I believe this cured the previous problem I was trying to address in the first place! at least so far today, the connection has not wavered, and so i'm optimistic that it'll continue to work.
the tricky thing is that I sync these computers together using mark/space "sync together" software, so I believe it's likely that this problem originated on the studio DAW, was transferred through a sync I did there a while back, and manifested itself on all the computers when I upgraded to X.4.10. as I almost never run iChat on the DAW at work, I would not have noticed the bug there before it transferred to the computers on which I do run iChat - and then at that point, i checked it on the studio DAW and noticed it there too.
so if there's a moral - when the feces flies off the proverbial fan, sometimes it's a good idea to just create a new iChat account and then even delete it if you want, just to re-write the prefs and keep everything smooth.
any alternate theories, realities, or visions of peace are most welcome.
best regards,
Rich

Safari Not Scrolling Properly

I am having problems on both my MacBook Pro and mac mini 2011 since the update. Safari is unusable on both. If I attempt to scroll with my pad it mangles the page into many different segments. I have had to switch to Chrome and Firefox.....not good. Anyone else having this issue.

Captivate 7 web object not scrolling properly iPad multiscreen.html

I have a Captivate 7 project published as both SWF and HTML5. The project is to be deployed via an LMS using multiscreen.html.
The issue that I have is that I have a web object that requires scrolling but when I view multiscreen.html on my iPad I am required to scroll horizontally with my finger to achieve vertical scrolling of my web object, any attempt to scroll vertically just causes the web bouce effect in Safari. If I view the project via index.html on my iPad, scrolling works as expected with vertical scrolling behaving properly and no web bounce.
It seems as though multiscreen.html is getting the orientation of the device confused but that's just a guess. Has anyone else encountered this and if so, do they have a workaround that they can share please?
Many thanks.

I've found that updating the file called 'Widget_40080.htm' with the highlighted section in the following image fixes the scrolling issue on iPad.

My ipad displays a black box around icons and isn't scrolling properly. I have turned it off then back on, which is the extent of my limited knowledge.

I was trying to get it to airprint to my supposedly supported HP eprint printer, but was having no luck. After trying to follow the online instructions on the HP website, it told me to turn it off wait 30 secs then turn it back on(along with the other devices but thats not my issue now) When I turned it back on it has a black box around all icons, I have to "double click" to get anything to open, and is not scrolling properly. I have turned it off and back on again, no change.

i am expereincing this problem....what was the solution??

Itunes 11.0.1 tv shows will not scroll

When I am syncing my ipad in the latest version of Itunes 11.0.1, the tv shows screen will not scroll properly using my magic mouse.

I had this problem recently with the same symptoms as you. It also appeared to stream the podcast over the internet when I double-clicked it even though it didn't seem to be downloading. I eventually noticed that when I go to Preferences, there is no folder designated as the iTunes media library. This was weird because I don't know why that would have disappeared. Anyway, I pointed it at my media folder and everything started working again. I hope that works for you.

Image display control scrolling does not work properly when zoomed in

I am using a ROI on an image in the image display control. When zooming into the image to fine-adjust the positioning of the ROI, the image scrolling does not work properly. As far as I understand, the image should scroll automatically when the ROI is leaving the visible area. However, the scrolling behaviour seems to depend on the origin of the Labview panel, not the origin of the image display control, which might require to move the ROI way out of the visible area before the scrolling takes place. In other words: the coordinate system of the image display control is shifted with respect to the true visible image area, depending on where you place it on the front panel. As a consequence, when clicking on a ROI which is in the visible area, but is outside of what Labview thinks is the visible area, it might immediately jump to the left border of the image, making the positioning of the ROI really difficult.
Has anyone noticed this behaviour, and what would be a reliable solution to avoid this?
Dirk

Hello,
no, I am not talking about the tools palette. Just place an image control with some image in it on a new VI front panel. Then, use the rectangle from the tools and select a ROI in the image. If you zoom in (using the magnification glass), and then grab the ROI and move it around, the image scroll with the ROI. So far, so good. If you now place the image control elsewhere on the panel, or add new control above it, resize the panel, etc. , this scrolling when moving the ROI will not work correctly if the origin (0,0) of the panel is far away from the image control.
I have attached a VI for simplicity (although there is hardly any code in it).
If you make a ROI and try to move it down, you will notice that scrolling starts if you move the mouse out to about 10cms below the image (depens on your screen, of course). After that, if you click on the ROI, the scroll bars and ROI might jump up to the upper end of the image. Imagine how annoying this is if you try to finely adjust the ROI position.
I think it is a bug in the implementation of the image display control.
Thanks,
Dirk

Scroll Bars Not Working Properly with Multiple Displays

Do the following on a laptop that supports having the desktop spread across multiple monitors. Display 1 is the laptop screen, Display 2 is an external monitor.
Open a SQL*Developer window in Display 2.
Open a SQL Worksheet.
Run a query that produces more rows than will fit in the results window, e.g. "select * from user_objects".
Click, hold, and slide the vertical scroll bar handle downward in the results tab.
The rows do not scroll. Garbled characters appear in the last row.
Move the window to Display 1. The scroll bar works properly. Rows scroll up and down and no garbled characters appear.
Note that the horizontal scroll bar produces garbled characters as well.
(SQL*Developer 1.2.1 32.13; Win XP Pro, Oracle XE)

These sort of issues can often be fixed by some combination of
- getting the latest device drive for your graphics card
- using java 6
- specifying -J-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false as a command line argument for sqldeveloper.
- specifying -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true as a command line argument for sqldeveloper.
You can also add vm options to you sqldeveloper.conf file using the "AddVMOptions -D..." directive

Windows 8 two-finger-scrolling not working properly

Two-Finger Scrolling in Windows 8 doesn't seem to work properly on my U300S Synaptics trackpad.
Instead of just scrolling through the tiles or app on the Windows 8(.1) startscreen, individual apps are higlighted and scrolled through like when I use the arrow-keys on a regular keyboard.
Also, in the metro version of Internet Explorer you should be able to move back and forth in the browser history by horizontally doing a two-finger-scroll gesture.
Do I have to install anything besides the Synpatics driver to get this to work properly?

I am having similar problems, although I don't have the zoom issue- it is simply not scrolling. very frustrating when you are accustomed to this method. My resolution was also reset, but I don't find that as much of an issue- the scrolling I can't fix.

Scrolling effects in Muse are not working properly with the Chrome browser at the moment.

My scrolling effects in Muse are not working properly in the Chrome browser .I disabled any third party widgets to see if that was the problem but it wasn't. Safari and firefox presented my site perfectly but when it was opened in chrome the menu navigation bar will not stop moving uncontrollably jittering when the page is scrolled. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? My site is danieltoruno01.businesscatalyst.com

We are using Vertical spry menu bar features provided with Dreamweaver CS3.
You are using Spry 1.4.
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4.
When using Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), it's wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
If after that you still have problems, please come back here.
