Scroll bar in finder is missing

Suddenly the scroll bar in Finder is missing in Pictures. Any idea how can I get it back?

Hi Hawaiian Starman,
I'll confess that at this point I am feeling so overwhelmed I can't believe it and yet I seem to know more than most of my friends and associates about computers when it's obvious I know so little. Not a great place for a society to be racing to, but ... First, I have looked for the scroll bar in various views on my initial account. It will show up at times but only scrolls an inch or so and then other times--nothing. To be honest, I've never seen a computer act so strange.
I looked at Carolyn's suggestion and thought geez! I want my computer to work--I didn't say I want to work for Apple and figure all this out. Reload this but be careful of this and this and this. I thought go to what HS says and try his solutions out.
I created another account, went into it and naturally I can see no scroll bar because I don't have any pictures. What I was shooting for is some degree of normalcy so I can see the picture files I have. I'm beginning to think it may be easier for me to keep inventing ways to get past the peculiar curves this Mac wants to toss at me! I can't operate under the new account because it doesn't have a printer assigned to it, there's no Microsoft Office program ... and of course I somewhat concluded that the answer is assigning everything in the one account to the other account and that's ... pardon my novice attitude ... like hard! The hardest thing I ever had to do with a Dell is re-install Internet Explorer and I thought that was complicated.
Now that I've gone on and on, what am I missing in concept about creating a new account? How can I check for a scroll bar when it has nothing to scroll .... without signing up for brain surgery 101? Any hope here? I appreciate your help. The dedication you have to understanding malfunctioning computers is indeed impressive.

Scroll bars not working in Finder

I cannot drag the scroll bars in Finder windows on a Macbook with 10.4.8. I can scroll with 2 fingers, or with the arrow keys or the arrows at the bottom of the window. But dragging the scrollbar does not work.
It works properly in Mail.app, Safari, Tex Edit Plus and probably others but not in GraphicConverter or the Finder.
Any clues? Apple phone support had none.
thx

Did they suggest running Disc Utility to repair your permissions ...also, you might try running your maintenance scripts with Onyx and then restarting to see if that clears things up.
You might also try deleting your finder .plist by trashing the file...

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?

I am not able to scroll either the scroll bar goes missing, even if present I am finding it hard to scroll can you help me?

sometimes when I opened Mozilla the scroll bar diappears there I couldnt scroll and I had to use the arrow keys on the keyboard to scroll. even if the scrol bar was present. When I tried to drag down mozilla just used automatically minimise and maximise. Its getting very annoying. I tried uninsatalling and reinstalling. It did not solve the issue.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar extension
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Missing Scroll Bar from Applications Folder in Dock

When I click the Applications Folder from the Dock in the Grid format, the scrollbar is missing. The only way to "scroll down," to other apps is by pressing the up/down arrow keys, in which the vertical bar briefly pops up but then disappears (no arrows pop up). I can view the Applications Folder as normal in Finder, but I prefer to just be able to click and scroll from the Dock.
I've tried switching from Fan to List to Grid to Automatic, etc. Whenever I return to Grid, there's still no scrollbar.
No scroll bar visible...
Vertical scroll bar shows up when I use the Up/Down arrows on keyboard, but then disappears again; no arrows visible.

From your system preferences under general, you can select if you want scrollbar to only show when actively scrolling, always, or based on mouse or trackpad.

Scroll bar missing on opening any website in firefox nightly 38.0a1

Vertical Scroll bar missing on opening any website in firefox nightly 38.0a1

On Mac the scroll bars can be hidden and only have them show when you scroll the page so you can see the current scroll position.
The idea is that a touch pad is used that doesn't require the scroll bars to be visible and thus have more screen estate for the browsing area.
You can make the scroll bars always visible:
System Preferences > General > Show Scroll Bar > Choose "Always"
You can try to delete the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Scroll Bar missing on Safari web pages and unfamiliar screen saver image

I recently upgraded my OS X from Panther to Tiger v. 10.4.11 and upgraded to Safari 3.1.2. Now the scroll bar down the right side is missing from the open web page in Safari. Where did it go and how do I get it back?
Also, unfamiliar images appear, something like a screen saver when I leave my computer for a
few minutes without putting it to sleep or shutting it down. It's a black/white/gray portrait of
a woman and as the picture moves around the screen, the image magnifies. I have no idea
where this image came from nor how to get rid of it. Any ideas?

Hi Busy1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

Playlist scroll bar missing?

Hello all.
Just installed the new Itunes 11. Went to one of my playlists to find a song to listen to only to see that the scroll bar on the right side of the playlist column is now gone! Am I missing something here? How do I scroll down thru my playlists now? Using the mouse wheel is way to time comsuming!
If any of you have the answer to this question i'd sure appreciate it if you'd let me know.
Thanks.
Jeff

Jeff, when you open iTunes and the window appears, click the very top of the window and drag it to the left and you will see the scroll bar on the right. Then click the maximize button on the upper r/h corner and it will stay. You will have to do this evey time you open iTunes until Apple puts out an update which fixes this problem for us windows users.

My scrolling bar/slider for songs is missing on my iphone please help

I call it a scrolling bar but it is the slider that can search through the different time points in a song or podcast. I listen to podcast a lot so I use the 30second back button when i need to write information down that I have heard. I also like to search through the podcast later for information. I noticed that the slider over the song being played has disappeared about a week ago after a physical sync to my macbook. I have been using 3.0 since it was introduced with my last year's 3G iphone. I cannot find any options that might have disabled this feature any help would be appreciated. I even tried a reset and resync & I am still missing the slider.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having similar problems with my iTouch. It seems to be random when it appears and disappears for use. Since I do a lot of audio books, its something I use a lot to reset back in time when the phone distracts me for a bit.
I do notice it has happened a lot more since I've purchased a clock for docking and listening by the bed.

On the right side of the br5owser there is a scroll bar, that scroll bar does not have any contrast and is almost invisible, can't find it ???

Have seen some other questions similar to mine and they may be about same issue , but they say that the scroll bar vanishes, in effect it is still there but nearly invisible. Trying to click on it without knowing the exact location however causes the page to scroll uncontrolled. The other questions advised people to reset their browser to default but that didn't help at all. Have had this same issue for about the last 6 versions of firefox, all say in the 30s versions. Tried adding high contrast in Windows as an experiment but that didn't help at all either. Been trying help for some time and just now decided to ask my own question as other questioners may have given up or answerers may think it is resolved.
In searching through help files it has led me to find a space based theme for the browser that I enjoy, but does not solve issue of course, so... all is not lost. Took a jpg of the image of the browser that shows the issue and am trying to upload it but looks like it is stuck in upload mode. Ugh "high speed" , anyhow maybe it uploaded and is not showing, the bar on the right is about 3/4 of the way down the side if you can see it, almost invisible.

Did you try Firefox Safe Mode?

My scroll bar is now missing on some of my pages that I need to scroll through and it won't let me use my mouse to scroll either, how can I get this back?

When I am logged into the tool section of our website where I process orders or make edits to products on our website, the scroll bar on the right hand side of the screen is missing. So I am unable to view orders or products that go down further than what I can view immediately on my screen. The scroll bar is only missing on pages with lists of items it is not missing if I click into an individual order. I really need this back so I can work on the website.

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them?

My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them? I tried everything; such as auto hide the task bar. Even with this, I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar. I even tried the following and I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar.
1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste dom and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars preference to switch it from false to true. By choosing true, you disable sites from deciding whether there can be scrollbars on a window, and Firefox uses its standard behavior for the page.
If you want to always get other bars, here are the corresponding settings:
Menu Bar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar
Navigation Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar
Bookmarks Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar
Please help.

Can you post a screen shot?
Taking a Screen shot; '''''Windows > Start >''''' search box '''''> Snipping Tool'''''.
Save the picture(s) to your desktop. Now look at the '''Reply''' box below.
Do you see the button under it that says '''Browse'''? Click it and then select
the screen shot(s) from the desktop.

Frames missing scroll bar in browser

I have created a webpage index.html that will be my main page
on the web with three frames on it. The top frame will hold the
name etc… and the bottom one will hold about 100 small size
jpeg pictures that will be linked to display the larger size in the
middle frame. So only the middle frame will have its content change
based on the clicks on the small jpeg in the bottom frame.
The problem is when I browse my index.html in the browser (
IE or firefox) it only shows 7 or 8 small jpegs on the bottom and I
can’t see the rest of my small jpeg in the browser since
I’m missing the scroll bar to get to the rest of the small
jpegs. In dreamweaver it works fine but not in the broser.
Appreciate all the help I can get… thanks

We would have to see the pages. Can you post a link?
