IPhoto scrolling direction opposite to prefs

iPhoto scrolling direction is opposite to what I have set in system preferences.  I set scroll direction to natural, iPhoto scrolls down when I scroll up.  I uncheck natural, iPhoto scrolls up when I scroll up. I haven't noticed this in any other program. I'm using an Apple trackpad.  I have a new iMac that came with Lion and iPhoto pre-installed and have applied all the updates. 
I submitted a bug report. 
Anyone else with this problem?

I know. I am trying, Really. Came to my new rMBP from Snow Leopard. . . .  I am trying to get used to it in Safari, but scrolling directions in Final Cut, Photoshop . . .oh man...nope. Its not going to work....
There is an app called Better Touch Tool, but I am just not getting it ;-(

    Hi Malky H.,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
    Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
    You can find this information here:
    OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
    Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.

  • Scroll direction not working in either direction

    I'm running Mountain Lion. The scroll direction works under account A, but if I switch users B, it stops working all together under B account.
    I've been to System Prefs and see nothing unusual. It's system wide, can't scroll in the finder or in applications. I'm completely baffled!

    Just to understand the sequence: you have this problem when you are in a Firefox tab, click a link, and it opens in a:
    * new window
    * new tab
    * same tab
    I'm guessing a new window. Since the title bar area is a bit faded, some other window must have the focus, but which one?? If you press and hold the Alt key and press and release the Tab key, you should get the visual Task Switcher pane. The icon to the left of the current highlighted icon indicates the window that had the focus. If you then click that first icon, is it another Firefox window, or some other app?

  • Mac OS X Lion seems to have reversed my default scrolling direction.

    Just installed Lion, so far so good, except that scrolling has reversed directions - that is to say twin-finger scrolling in an upwards direction causes a downward scroll on the page and vice versa; twin-finger scrolling in an leftward direction causes a right-direction scroll on the page and vice versa. Lion has essentially 'reversed' my default scrolling rules.
    Sys Pref does not seem to be able to change it back. Can anyone help?

    Hello:
    The answer you got from the previous poster is correct.  With OS X 10.7, Apple reversed the scroll direction.
    I have been told (and it makes sense) this was done to make a Mac behave in the same way as an iPhone and iPad.  From here, that seems to be true.  I did find that one gets used to the reversed direction quite rapidly - especially if you have an iPad

  • Any way through terminal setting or 3rd party app to tweak scroll direction?

    I am really struggling with the settings that the OS X Lion GUI allows you for trackpad scroll direction.  Natural just seems horribly wrong for veritcal scrolling like in a webpage, but exactly right for horizontal scrolling, like swiping between desktops.  If I turn off natural scrolling, I ALWAYS accidentally swipe left toward the dashboard screen when I mean to swipe right to where I keep iTunes.  It is very frustrating.  And while I might be willing to retrain myself to vertical scroll the natural way, I could never ever ever retrain myself to mouse-wheel the opposite direction, and natural scrolling changes both the trackpad and mouse behavior--you cannot configure them separately.
    Are there any other options to tweak this beyond what the GUI provides?  This is really frustrating.   

    I hear you.  I agree too.
    At first I thought it was my iMac that was unstable or buggy after Lion's upgrade.  Was fiddling with the scroll settings for both my Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse for almost few nights... trying to understand it all, and (finally) realized it is just one generic setting!  It's like in the house you have two wall switches to the same light, and if both are at off positions, depending which one you use last, eg you turn on the 1st switch, and if you are at the 2nd one, it is at off, you need to on it first then off it, the the light will go off - crude example, but something like that.
    Ya, I already put it in Lion's feedback on Apple.com, I think a lot more should do the same, so that the next update, there may be seperate settings for these.
    Cheers

  • Scroll direction natural

    When using Safari, I prefer to use a two finger swipe upwards to scroll towards the top of the page and a two finger swipe downwards to scroll to the bottom of the page.  For that reason, I unticked "Scroll Direction: Natural" in the settings and all was well again.
    However, now when I want to go "forward" a page, I have to do a two finger swipe from right to left, and if I want to go "back" a page, I have to do a two finger swipe from left to right.  This is somewhat counter-intuitive.
    Is there a way to keep my preferences for scrolling up and down without making the scrolling forwards and backwards counter-intuitive?

    I assume this feature works on your iMac.  If all the other gestures on you MBP are functioning correctly and you have attempted both scroll options, this is indeed a puzzle.  The only option I can suggest is to take it to a Genius bar at an Apple store and have them take a look.
    Ciao.

  • Scrolling direction help

    Ok. Sorry if this was already discussed but I could not find an answer.
    So, I did changed the direction of scrolling - switched OFF the scroll direction on my MacBook Pro option in System preferences to have it like I had for years on MacBook, not as I have on iPad. But there is a catch with this "switch off". It does change the direction of  Swipe between pages with 2,3 fingers and Swipe between full-screen apps to the opposite direction then you would expect.
    Its either - you'll get used to the scrolling withing apps/windows or you just have to get stuck with the opposite direction then you would epxect when swiping full screen apps.
    Any workaround for this? Any apps you can recommend which does helps you control the direction  of the Swiping between pages while keeping the old way of scroll direction?
    Thank you for help.

  • Scroll Direction setting not sticking

    I have a iMac running Mountain Lion. I prefer not using the "Scroll direction: natural" so I removed the check within the Mouse System Preferences. I exit out of System Preferences, open any browser (Safari, Firefox or Chrome) and the check in "Scroll direction: natural" reappears. I have tried removing the check and rebooting but unfortunately the check in "Scroll direction: natural" reappears each time.
    Any ideas how to fix this
    Thanks

    Nancy,
    Are you still running 10.6.2?
    If you are run this update:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

  • How can I open an iPhoto photo directly from Photoshop Elements 6?

    Hi...
    I thought I read here in this forum how to open a photo that's in iPhoto ('09), directly from PSE 6. While in PSE 6, I go to File>Open>Photos(in Finder Sidebar)>then click on photo(s) in iPhoto and click on "Choose".
    But when I do this, the "Choose" option remains grayed out! So I can't choose any photos directly from my iPhoto library.
    What am I doing wrong, or is this just not possible to do? Or is there another way that doesn't involve first moving my photos out of iPhoto onto my desktop?
    TIA, Deb

    Thank you both for your responses! Unfortunately I realized I hadn't explained myself well enough and my question is still unanswered.
    I do know how to set my Preferences in iPhoto to edit in an external editing software like PSE. But I like iPhoto '09 for editing so I don't want to do that.
    What I use PSE 6 for is digital scrapbooking. So what I'm trying to do is figure out a way to get to my iPhoto library directly from PSE 6 while I'm working in it on a scrapbook layout.
    I thought I could just go to File>Open>Media(Finder sidebar)>Photos>, which then opens my iPhoto library, and then from there choose my photos to bring into PSE. But the "Choose" button remains grayed out when I do this, even though I am in my iPhoto library and can click on photos.
    I don't understand why? I've discussed this on message boards at digital scrapbooking websites, and none of the Mac users I've discussed this with, can figure it out either. We keep hoping there is an answer to this frustrating dilemma.
    What we all do right now as a work around is choose our photos first from iPhoto and move them to the desktop before we even open PSE. Then we can find them easily. But we want to be able to navigate to iPhoto from within PSE and choose our photos that way. Possible??
    Thanks again... Deb

  • System Settings will not save my desired mouse scroll direction

    I understand the Apple genius of wanting the Settings: Mouse: Scroll direction: Natural box to be checked.  But **** it, this is MY iMac and I want the scroll direction to remain Unchecked, so the screen scrolls in the direction I’ve been used to for YEARS.
    The problem is the System Settings will not save the unchecked scroll box.  I have to return to the System Settings every time I log on to UN check the Scroll Direction: Natural box.
    Will Apple ever fix this so that I, and others, can operate the scrolling as THEIR LONG-TIME USER sees fit?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • IPhoto scrolls out of control

    I'm really getting #$%&* off at iPhoto. I'm organizing a semi large library of just over 1000 images in approximately 120 rolls. Here's the problem: when I drag and drop images from one roll to another, at some point which I can't exactly determine, iPhoto kicks into overdrive and scrolls so fast that I can't see the rolls. If I try to reverse (inevitable as it's impossible to stop where you want when iPhoto is in Warp speed), all the while still holding down the click button on my mouse, iPhoto goes in reverse just as fast. It's impossible to stop and drop the image where I want. What usually happens is I just drop it somewhere and then have to re drag and drop to the correct roll.
    Is there anyway of controlling the speed iPhoto scrolls at? When I first start dragging an image, iPhoto scrolls at an appropriate speed and slowly accelerates. Then, all of a sudden, like I said, it kicks in the afterburners and essentially becomes useless.
    Any help?

    TD.
    Thanks, that's a useful article. I'll check out the USB overdrive and see if it has some functions I'd like.
    But again, for me it's not a mouse issue. Unlike the article, I never have this problem outside of the library in iPhoto.
    It happened again yesterday, so let my try to describe it more carefully.
    I had just uploaded some pictures from a camera card into iPhoto. They were put in a new roll (as always). I wanted to move them up to an existing roll with pictures from the same card. I selected the new roll. Then I began to drag them up to the roll where I wanted them. I had perfect control with the mouse as I moved the drag image up the screen. But the target roll was above it, off screen. When I moved to the top where iPhoto begins to scroll the rolls downward, it was fine at first. I even am very careful to just let it scroll a little at a time, to keep it from accelerating (Notice that the mouse dosn't move much here, it's iPhoto moving the rolls to put them on screen.) I had no trouble getting my target roll onscreen, highlighting the roll name, and dropping in the first set of imports.
    But when I uploaded more pictures on another new roll and tried to move them, iPhoto freaked out. Again I selected the new roll and dragged it up to the top of the window. With the mouse just inside the top of the window, where it activates iPhoto to move the rolls down, I could see the open target roll approaching as rows of thumbnails lowered on the screen. BUT, when it got to where the roll name should have been, iPhoto moved into warp speed and skipped a whole screenful of rolls in a flash. The target roll was now off screen below the window. So I had to move the mouse down and let iPhoto begin scrolling the rolls up. Nice and slow, a few rolls at a time (I keep the rolls I'm not using closed.) Then JUMP - iPhoto goes into hyperspeed again and scrolls the rolls up so that the target roll is again off screen above the window. Again, I moved up to the top so iPhoto would scroll the rolls down. Back and forth, up and down, it kept flying past my target roll. With the target roll open, I could get the rows of thumbnails on screen nice and slow. But I have to reach that roll name, or my photos won't drop into the roll. It's the roll NAME that keeps getting flown past. (As if iPhoto is rejecting more changes to that roll.) If I close the target roll, I can't come within 2 or 3 rolls from it before iPhoto goes warp. Eventually I managed to get the target roll on screen while the mouse was at the top and iPhoto was scrolling down. It scrolled very quickly, but I managed to catch it before it moved off the bottom of the screen. Then I moved my mouse slowly down toward the target roll, one roll at a time (dragging all the while, never releasing) and was finally lucky enough to have the roll name of my target roll stay put and become highlighted. I dropped in the new roll, and it was correctly added to the target roll.
    The third time I uploaded and tried to move was even more difficult. It took even longer to catch the target roll on screen. Lots more up and down. All of my imports yesterday (3 newly created rolls) were placed into the same roll.
    Jailer Joe, is this what happens to you?
    Has anyone else seen or heard of this? Any thoughts as to why iPhoto's roll scrolling goes out of control?

  • Scroll Direction: Natural Problem

    On my macbook pro 13-inch mid 2010 I install Lion and from the beginning doesn't work the natural scroll with two fingers.I check system preferences in the box scroll direction natural. All others gestures works perfectly, only scroll direction doesn't. I did the last combo update (10.7.3) but nothing change. Somebody any idea?
