Mac OSX 10.7.4 mouse scroll resets to lion default after restart or shutdown

I use a Logitech M570 with my late 2009 Mac Mini and like to have my scroll set to the way scrolling should work with a scroll wheel and how it has work for year before Apple decided it was wrong. Well after I updated to 10.7.4 my mac now wants to reset the scroll to the new way Lion does it after every shutdown or restart and its starting to get really annoying. Does anyone know a way to fix this or a way I can bring this to Apple's attention so they can fix it.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Actually, I upgraded to mac Osx I had iphoto,imovie, the whole work; However. After downloading Osx 10.5.8 it all went away and states that it's not compatible anymore.

    Actually, I upgraded to mac Osx I had iphoto,imovie, the whole work; However. After downloading Osx 10.5.8 Only I photo would word, imovie would not work, my camera was not recognized. itunes was ok, After my system start having a problem I tried to re-download Mac Osx again, then I lost Imovie,iphoto, and itunes, recently I was able to get itunes back by downloading quicktime 7.7, in which i discovered through the support communities. Now I would like to
    get imove, i photo if at all possible. I've read that by installing a hex something, that it works fine. But it seems to be complicated to install. Can I get some advise on this issue foe  iBook G4 10.5.8? Let me know Apples are expensive. maybe it's time for a windows system. I've also heard that the refurbished mac are a piece of trash from some reviews.

    You can't upgrade from Mac OS X 10.4 to Mac OS X 10.5 via a download. You would have to buy the DVD and upgrade that way.
    Any applications that were using Classic emulation (OS 9 applications) in Mac OS X 10.4 would be lost in an upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5.
    I've also heard that the refurbished mac are a piece of trash from some reviews.
    That depends on who does the refurbishing. If you buy a refurbished Mac directly from Apple, it will be as good as a new Mac and will even have the one-year warranty that comes with a new Mac. If you buy a "refurbished" Mac from an eBay seller, all bets are off.

  • I have created a second user on my imac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Anyone else have this problem?

    I have created a second user on my iMac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Everything works fine with the main user. Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi again, ;o)
    I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
    Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
    The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
    I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.

  • HT1338 i have a really old mac book with mac osx 10.6 and I cant purchase mountain lion in the app store. it says its not compatible with this computer. what can i do

    I have been trying to purchase mountain lion from the app store and it doesnt let me. I keep getting mobile me in the system preferences and i want to upgrade so i can link this mac book with my icloud account and devices. How can I uograde to mountain lion?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest models capable of running 10.8:
    iMac7,1
    MacBook5,1
    MacBookPro3,1
    MacBookAir2,1
    Macmini3,1
    MacPro3,1
    Xserve3,1
    If your computer is incapable of running 10.8 but has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB RAM, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

  • Brightness resets to highest setting after restart...

    I'm a mac noob and absolutely love my 24" iMac. One thing I've noticed is that the brightness will reset to the maximum setting after a restart. I've seen other posts about the brightness reset to the lowest setting, but has anyone experienced a reset to the maximum setting? I calibrate the monitor with the Monaco Optix XR and the icc profile doesn't change, just the brightness setting.

    Hello Mike
    Welcome to Discussions
    If you are using a wired keyboard and some others you can use the F14 & F15 keys to adjust display brightness, try this it will save you time not having to open display preferences.
    Another option is to just let iMac sleep. I sleep mine for days at a time, only shutting down when not using for days or bad electrical storms.
    Hope this will help

  • I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd

    Hello, I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd. After restart, I hold C but either eject cd or doesn't read and computer boots up normally. I even ordered a new pack of installation cd, but still the same problem. Is there anybody can help me fixing this issue, because my Macbook pro has lots of software problem and when I spoke to tech, they said it needs to reformat and reinstall the OSX to solve all my problems. Please help me to reinstall my OSX!

    Possible solutions:
    You need to hold the c key down before booting
    You need to use the built in keyboard, you have other hardware connected
    You need the machine specific 10.6.4+ disks for that machine, the retail 10.6.3 disks won't work
    There is a firmware password on the machine preventing the at boot key command functions
    Try the option key for Startup Manager to boot from the disk, right after the "bong"
    Your Superdrive lense is dirty or not operating, other hardware issues
    You have malware of some sort

  • Stuck with Apple Mac OSX 1.7.2 update!

    My MacBook Pro Early 2011 is stuck on the Mac OSX 1.7.2 update.
    I ordered Lion OSX from App Store about 2/3 months ago.
    It says:
    Software Update
    Installing 3 items
    Progress Bar
    This may take a few minutes; do not shut down your computer.
    And it has been going about 45min. on the same screen.
    And i don't have a Time Machine recovery and don't want to lose my data.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    I have solved my problem!
    I just shut it down with the power button.
    Waited 10 minutes (i kept trying before but did not start up).
    I started it then it restarted about 4 times then it started up with all my data.

  • The device is in use by another process - error - cannot select Multi Output Device - Mac OSX 10.8.2

    Dear Adobe Users!
    Please help!
    I'm using Adobe Audition CS5.5 on a Mac - OSX 10.8.2 (latest version of Mountain Lion) and I'm trying to select a Multi-Output device.
    This was working FINE last few days - today, I get an error. I've tried to re-install Adobe Audition and that hasn't fixed the problem. When it first started up it said it couldn't find any audio devices at all.
    Please can you help? I'm getting a message saying the device is being used by another process - but it's not being used by anything else at all!
    Hope you are able to help! I use the multi output device option so I can record what I can hear. I spent two days trying to sort that out after it all-of-a-sudden didn't work last Thursday.
    Now just spent last two hours trying to get Adobe to recognise the Multi Output device - it's been working fine last few days!
    Many thanks if you're able to help!
    - Rory

    Durin,
    May have sussed it! It seems that Built-in output was the way to have it for Audition CS5.5 to record what I'm hearing! Yes, the multi-device needs to be used - but in another settings.
    Here's how I have each section configured and it now works!
    First of all, in Audition > Preferences > Audio Hardware:-
    Then, on the Mac's OS - System Preferences > Sounds (input settings)
    Then Output settings :-
    Then Midi Settings found in Finder > Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI set up
    All now seems to be working! I'll let you know if anything further happens!
    I was certain I had the output device as Multi Device Output on Adobe before, perhaps it should've been set to Built-in Audio all along. Anyway, I re-installed my Mac from Time Machine, logged in as another user and it worked under that profile, then logged back in as me - and am using the settings in the pics above and all seems to be working!
    It's been a long week, perhaps I was just going around in circles and didn't actually test these particular settings yesterday in this order after all.
    Thanks again for your help! Sorry if I've caused any confusion!

  • Mouse Scroll doesn't work somtimes only in firefox

    My mouse scroll stop working in firefox after a few minutes of surfing on the internet, on other browsers or software programs I do not have this problem ! When I close and reopen firefox the scroll function works again a few minutes..
    I removed and reinstall firefor without result.
    Thanks for helping me

    I apologize in advance if you receive multiple replies from me - I'm dealing with this problem so it might take a couple of shots at it :^)
    gclauwaert:
    I just posted something similar today (user: cispang, date: 12/14/2011, subj: "Firefox frequently loses almost all navigation..."). When this occurs to me, I also lose the use of the page up/down keys and the arrow up/down keys, but I am able to drag the scroll bar up and down to navigate the page. When you have a chance, could you read my post to see if you have the same set of conditions, and post a reply to my post?
    Thanks,

  • .s16 files and Mac OSX

    I recently bought PA-VR10E voice recorder. The problem is that it stores all audio files in s16 files. There is a converter to wav, but works only on Windows platform. Is there such a converter for Mac OSX?

    Maybe you should take a look at Repeat After Me. It's included in the Developer Tools, which is on the Mac OS X Installer Disc. If you don't have the Mac OS X Installer Disc, let me know and I'll email Repeat After Me to you.

  • My mouse keeps reseting it's tracking speed?

    So yeah, I have this Engage wired mouse that I just recently got. Only problem with it is that ever since I got it the tracking speed of the tracking speed of the mouse keeps resetting to the default one which is pretty fast for me. I don't think it's the mouse's fault because I replaced it with another mosue of the same model, make, everything and it still does it. Anyone know why this may be?

    Perhaps your mouse is misbehaving whilst you are not there?
    Do you have the latest drivers from the mouse manufacturer installed?
