In OS X's Terminal program, how do I scroll down?

Newbie question: in OS X's Terminal program, how do I scroll down to see more of the processes listed by "top"?
When I run "top" and list the table of processes, I haven't figured out how to scroll down and review all the processes. I can resize the window just fine for my monitor, and I can "q" (quit) "top" just fine. But I've failed to figure out how to scroll down (and back up) to review the entire table. FWIW, I *can* run the command "man top" and arrow down just fine. But I didn't read anything in "man top" I understood to help with scrolling.
Many thanks from a naif trying the command line.

FWIW, Gary Kerbaugh's 2006 post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/1542090#1542090 was particularly helpful.
While Activity Monitor is a more helpful tool for this newbie at a local machine, I'm seeking information about running processes on a remote machine with failed Screen Sharing. I can reach the remote machine with the Finder and with the Terminal via SSH, but I cannot reach the machine via Screen Sharing.
Running TOP in a SSH window in the Terminal -- and scrolling through to see *all* the processes -- proved possible by running the command cited by Gary Kerbaugh
top -l1
(For newbies like me, that's
lower case tee
lower case ohh
lower case pee
space
hyphen
lower case ell
number one)
Many thanks, xnav and Tony.

Hi Happybude1,
If you can't see the scroll bars you can enable them in the General System Preferences.
OS X Mountain Lion: Change how scroll bars work
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10895
Use General Preferences to customize scroll bars in windows.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click General.
Set the scrolling options. For more information about the scrolling options, click the Help button.
Some apps let you scroll through a document in other ways, such as by dragging in the document, using arrow keys, or pressing the Space bar.
I like to have mine set for Show scroll bars: Always.
Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

How do i scroll down on my new ipad mini

How do I scroll down on my ipad mini? I have a regular ipad and several iphones - never had the problem before. I can't see anything below the initial page view - everything below I can't get to. Also, how do you turn off the terrible double click when typing? That has to be the most annoying thing on the earth.

If you have a computer with iTunes, plug your iPad using the Lightning cable into your computer. iTunes will detect it and you can sync (which tranfers data) the music on the iPad. Alternatively, you can buy music off your iPad with your Apple ID.

How can I Scroll Down without losing the lightbox in the center of the screen?

I already tried with different slideshow presets with no results.
If I click in the first photo the slideshow screen remains on the top, It seems that it doesn't scroll down with me. I would like to slidedown and click into the last photo without losing the lightbox in the center.
I already ask for help by chat, but you didn't answer how i expect.
here the link of the example:

Hi
This is not possible directly using the widgets, as you would need customize this where the page scrolls but lightbox should still be centered.
Another way of doing would be aligning the images horizontally on page with smaller version and then use lightbox effect , where the clicked image will still be on page but user can click on other images.
Thanks,
Sanjit

When selecting items to sync, how do i scroll down?

How do I select items to sync?
My problem is that when I select (say) photos to sync on my iPad, iTunes shows three categories: Albums, Events and Faces. I cannot see how to scroll down to select what I want if it is not immediately on the screen. The same applies to all the other categories.
I am using iTunes 11 and Mac OS X version 10.7.5

You need to be more specific. PHP is a server side language and pages coded with PHP are served from a web server. So you view PHP pages in your browser.
