Scroll bar arrows in Lion?

Just curious if anyone knows if there is a way to get up and down arrows back at the bottom of the scroll bars in Lion? I'm using a trackball mouse so it's a little annoying having to click and drag on that tiny little scroll bar...
Thanks for any insight you can share!
Charlie

You can click on the space above or beyond the scroll bar. That faster than clicking on the arrows.
In the common preferences menue there are some options.
But Apple is proud of it's multitouch thing, the mouse now is from yesterday... ;-)
Best regards

  • How Do I Get back scroll bar arrows Back

    Is there a way to get back scroll bar arrows back in OS 10.8.4  ? Thats all.

    Newer systems might also provide different functionality instead of just more.
    There are many cases where Apple has changed things (taken away here, given something different there) and with good results.
    However I agree with you bernuli:  (Mountain) Lion has been a disaster in many ways.  At least to me.  I produce information and want to be productive with precision and speed.  I know how to spell and I know what I am looking at.  So I want all animations OFF, all spelling checking OFF, all horrible yellow "tooltips" OFF and so on.
    Just today I have finally switched, after more than two years ago buying a machine specially for Lion and figuring out how to live with it.  I can still feel my blood pressure rise, despite a lot of tweaking in those two years.  I want those little arrows back (using TinkerTool I had both of them at the top and both at the bottom!)  The keyboard arrows are NOT a replacement.
    You will be assimilated into the touch-interface world, resistance is futile.

  • Scroll Bar arrows Gone?

    The verical scoll bar arrows are no longer there on OS X 10.7.
    Any way in System prefs or Safari prefs to get them back?

    Installed Lion today. Started testing out applications and I miss and still need the scroll bar arrows.
    I use several applications where the arrows on the scroll bar allow small movement as one line, especially important when copying several different sections of several paragraphs in Word, picking and choosing file movement in Spring Cleaning, or seeing just how far your object is off the printable field in Visio.
    I do love the touch functions of my iPhone but this will just not work on a desktop workstation.
    Does someone know if Apple will look at these comments with some interest in keeping those of us that have used Apple hardware since the Apple II happy?
    Well for now, I'm just moving back to Snow Leopard. So much for progress.

  • My scroll bar arrows disappeared after my cat 11 lb cat lay on the keyboard. Cac anyone help?   keyboard

    I am using Lion and had no problems. Then my 11 lb cat decided to lie on the keyboard. She turned on the accessibility,  keeping me from scrolling, but I turned that off. After what she did my scroll bar arrows vanished. My mouse has a scroll wheel but on some pages I need to use the bar. Any advice?

    Yes.....be sure to feed the cat hairball control treats every other day and keep it groomed.

  • No scroll bar arrows in some Safari apps - is there a recent update on these much missed arrows?

    I know, I know, there has been much discussion on these arrows.  I have read most of it.  But I am still using OS 10.6.8 and the arrows are missing in ALOT of the sites I use (Safari 5.1.10) (I have arrows in this forum and am thankful for it!).  Yes, the up and down arrows work.  No, there is no "General" in my System Preferences.  Yes, I want the scroll bar arrows back everywhere!  Writing to Apple won't help cause I don't plan on updating to any new version in the near future!
    Thanks!
    P.S.  I know I am late to the discussion - please don't roll your eyes when you see this!

    No, there is no "General" in my System Preferences.
    System Preferences - click and hold the 'Show All' button to see if General is listed there.

  • Lost scroll bars in mountain lion

    Ever since performing the last security update on my MacPro 3,1 (running MacOS X 10.8.5) I've had a lot of system weirdness. My magic mouse lost a lot of it frunctionality (I can just point and click and right click) the Mac kernal was visible along with the CoreSyncInstall.log, various apps open at start up even though they are not listed in the log in items, and my scroll windows dissapear never to return until I resize the window then they only appear for a brief moment. I repaired permissions, took the disk offline and ran TechTools on it, I'm at wits end. Does anyone have some insight on this?
    Thanks

    Scroll bars have been gone by default for several iterations of OS X ... I forgot exactly which one got rid of them by default (my guess is Lion).
    Anyway, go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar), choose "Geenral", and set your scroll bar preferences there.

  • Scroll Bar Arrows

    I've got a document with multiple scenes, and in the 2nd
    scene I have a dynamic text, multi-line field with a scroll bar
    that works just fine. However, when I try the same thing in other
    scenes the roller bar doesn't have arrows and the text is no longer
    dynamic. Has anyone else has this problem or the solution?

    I answered my own question, if anyone else has this problem,
    remember to put the scroll bar IN the text field.

  • Scroll bar arrows lockup application

    Using an app that utilizes Java to show an image window with scrollbars. When the scrollbar arrows are used, the application locks up. If you just drag the scroll bar, the app works fine. Client platforms are Win XP Pro, Win 2000, Win server 2003. The app may work fine for months, then all of a sudden start having problems. The issue is not java version specific, but we are fairly certain that the problem is java related. Any ideas?

    Tried that but still scroll are not coming.

  • Nested Scroll bars - Firefox. Lion.

    I have noticed that my pointer in Lion appears to unaware of which scroll bar I am trying to move when I have a scrollable window on a scrollable web page in Firefox. 
    In Snow Leopard the gesture controlled scrolling function knew which scroll bar I wanted to move by detecting the nearest scroll bar to the pointer.
    Can anyone tell me if this is a bug in Firefox which makes the scroll function unaware of the nearest scroll bar or have I missed a setting?

    Thanks!
    I found the setting for "Show Scroll Bars."  However, I can't find the setting for the scroll-bar width.  How do I adjust scroll-bar width?

  • No double-scroll bar arrows in iTunes 7

    I like a lot about 7, (gapless playback, hooray!) however I'm disappointed that the trick to add arrows to both ends of the scroll bar ( there are many pages that describe this, here's one ) does not affect iTunes 7. There are only one set of arrows.
    Others seem to confirm this, but I've not found a workaround/remedy.
    Anyone know if there another way to do this?

    I can't believe that after 7 versions, support for keyboard access in dialog boxes still hasn't been enabled. No sheets, either. iTunes has always felt like a glorified port of a Classic app.

  • What is the default "Show scroll bars" setting in Lion?

    I have a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion question.
    What is the default "Show scroll bars" setting under System Preferences -> General?
    Thanks

    "Automatically based on input device" is the default.  I prefer Always On myself.
    Hope this helps

  • Is there any way to disable the expanding scroll bars in Mountain Lion?

    Since I never scroll by dragging the scroll bars with the cursor, I find the expansion of the scroll bars to be a distracting and even productivity limiting feature. Is there any way to disable the expansion of the scroll bars (perhaps with a terminal command)? System Preferences doesn't have an option to switch this feature off as far as I'm concerned.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    No!

  • Suddenly I can not select anything within the top inch or so of any web page. The scroll bar arrow doesn't work at the top. I don't know what to do. I tried updating my browser but the problem still exists.

    Everything worked fine on Tues. I shut down my system and then on Wed. morning, the problem appeared. Anything within the top inch or so of a webpage is unavailable to select. It is like there is an inch of the page that is dead. It is that way on every website that I visit with Firefox. It does not happen if I use internet explorer, which I do not like and do not want to have to go back to using. Please help!!! My sister in law has the same problem with firefox.
