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

  • "Bottom" Setting not sticking in print calibration

    Is anyone else noticing that in the print dialog if you have set the Bottom calibration it won't "stick" for long? In my case it ends up reverting to zero across sessions.
    And I wonder why iPhoto can print to my HP printer/paper without calibration but Aperture overprints?

    In the Print dialog there is a Calibrate button. This opens up a small dialog where you can enter offsets for top, bottom, left, right. There is also a button to print a test page which prints guides so you can determine the proper offsets. On my machine I can enter offsets for all 4 edges and all except the entry in the Bottom field stick (are remembered).
    I'm on 10.4.11 as my profile says I'm using the HP drivers built in (but these offsets are in Aperture, not in the printer driver dialog).

  • 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.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Set reverse scroll direction for guest account

    Is there a way to set the default scroll direction to reverse scrolling for the guest account?
    Thanks.

    No: all settings are restored to default when the guest logs out. But you could create a managed account for visitors, with suitable restrictions, then that would hold any setting you made. Of course its contents won't be deleted when they log out, which can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on circumstances.

  • Scroll bar direction will not change

    When I go to general preferences, there is no way to change the scroll direction any longer.

    I know that is where it is suppose to be but it is not.  I remember it being there at one time, but it is no longer available.  I have the latest software and uodates.
    I am using a microsoft mouse, could that be a problem?

  • Energy saver settings do not stick when set in system preferences

    For some reason when I restore the default settings for the energy saver settings, the settings go back to a custom setting I set months prior of Display Sleep at 1 minute.
    Here is what I am doing:
    Going to "System Preferences"
    Going to "Energy Saver"
    Pressing the button "Restore Defaults"
    Everything goes back to the default settings of Computer Sleep of 10 minutes and Display Sleep of 10 minutes and I close the window out.
    Problem happens: A bit later I come back to my iMac and wake it up, the setting is back to 1 minute of Display Sleep (which I did months ago, I no longer want that).
    I have even locked the setting to prevent further changes. Which locks the settings in place like it should I believe. However, once the iMac sleeps and I wake it up in a couple of hours it switches back to the old setting I made months ago, 1 minute of Display Sleep, which I no longer want.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    i have the opposite problem... i would like to use custom Energy Saver settings but they will not "stick." instead they keep returning to the default settings. i followed the advice on this thread, thinking it might solve my problem too. but it did not. any suggestions?
    i had one hunch - that it might have something to do with the file of same name but with ~orig at the end (see image below). should i remove the other file as well?
    thanks!

  • 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 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?

  • 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 ;-(

  • Can decouple the scrolling direction for trackpad and mouse wheel?

    Hi,
    When you set the trackpad to scroll inversely using the "moving the frame" methophor, the mouse wheel behaves the same. But if you go to the mouse setting to set the wheel to scroll according to the direction of the finger, it affects the trackpad settings too... Can these two be decoupled?
    Also, when I post stuff here, does product team see these, or I should raise an actual ticket?

    Apple does not normally read these forums.  You can tell Apple your thoughts:

    The scrolling thing is not a "bug" so you'll want to get as many people to complain so that Apple includes an option in a future update.

  • Overclock not "sticking" on 875p Neo

    I have a 875p neo and a 2.4C P4.  I'm trying to overclock them via the bios, but I'm not having much luck.
    I do not have fuzzy logic installed fyi.
    I'll set the FSB in the bios to say 225, and keep the memory locked at 400.  When I save and exit/reboot, on the post screen it correctly shows a 2.75ghz speed.
    Then the second I get in windows, I can use any utility (cpu-z, wcpuid, etc...) and it will only show my speed at 2400/800.  So I'll shut down and go back in the bios and my old settings are still saved at 225fsb with 400 memory.
    MSI tech support was no help, the just say uninstall core center.  I told them I don't have it installed, they say the same thing.  Just to be sure, I did a reformat the other night, only programs windows xp and cpu-z, and my overclock is definatly not sticking.
    I think the core cell is causing my trouble.  For one reason or another, it's not allowing the settings I set in the bios to make it past the windows load.
    Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before, or does anyone know how to disable the core cell?
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    I agree with Uruk Hai update your BIOS as per This thread. I have used these directions for two flashes with no problem.
    I have noticed with my overclocking that the mobo adds 1Mhz to whatever I set in the BIOS and it will change memory timeings also. Let us know how things turn out.

    Some other info:
    You  know that you can control Photoshop input fields http://screencast.com/t/ApVseKYRxz with the mouse scroll wheel. Pretty handy indeed. You just have to click on the field and spin the wheel and values changing.
    The problem:
    My mouse wheel cannot control the input fields in this way. I select the field, spin the wheel and nothing happen. When I spin it faster a couple of times, than the values get changing - pretty strange ha? Scrolling normally - do not change, scrolling fast change. But to scroll fast is not an option because I cannot change the values slightly with small increments... There is a bug really...
    What I tried and didn't work:
    1. Restarted Photoshop
    2. Plug/Unplug and change different USB slots for both receivers.
    3. Reintalling latest SetPoint Drivers (after uninstall I run ccleaner)
    4. Put all SetPoint settings to defaults (because I programmed some mouse keys to Photoshop specifically).
    5. Install earlier versions of SetPoint drivers.
    6. Set my UEFI BIOS to defaults.
    7. Restarted the BIOS to load all the drivers again, but still no luck
    (the last think I didn't do is to reinstall Photoshop)
    What I have investigated so far:
    1. When I restart the computer and run Photoshop it works perfect HA! , but after a seconds it do not words again ...
    2. When I stop SetPoint software, when I shut down it, it words perfect.
    3. When I unplug keyboard receiver it words perfect, but I do not have keyboard:)
    4. Everything works perfect in Illustrator and After effects.
    5. Also I noticed that when I scroll images in CameraRaw - http://screencast.com/t/xKnn6cY9 the I have to scroll harder and spin the wheel harder to scroll - the same problem.
    6. Also in photoshop and bridge scrolling here - is pretty smooth and works perfect - http://screencast.com/t/75IXMG6Zria
    Maybe the most important part - When I start experiencing the problem:
    I had same configuration , same everything and everything worked fine.
    I installed SSD disk, reinstalled Windows (same like before), updated my BIOS to UEFI. Installed Photoshop and SetPoint and problem started.
    Posted same request to Logitech, but want to ask you for help too.
    Thanks!

    Hi all,
    I found a solution.
    1. Uninstall your current Setpoint Driver.
    2. Run CCleaner - http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
    3. Download an older version of SetPoint - http://www.oldapps.com/setpoint.php
    (I used SetPoint 6.15 (x64), I tried 6.20, 6.32, 6.50 , but no luck)
    4. Now everything is all right!
    Thanks!
    Can somebody mark this as solved? Thanks!

  • Safe mode display settings not 'sticking' after restart?

    Hi
    I used a display setting not supported by my Mac mini and consequently had a 'out of signal' error on my monitor and restarted in safe mode, logged in and altered the settings.
    When I restart the display settings do not 'stick' and I get the same error. How do I get the settings to stick? Have tried logging in as administrator and user with no joy!
    Thanks Nigel

    Hmm. Maybe that combination of changing resolution in Safe mode and resetting PRAM have a combined effect of some kind? Worth remembering for the future. Thanks for posting.

  • Mouse pointer does not stick on fader when moving it

    Using Logic Pro 9. If I grab any fader, the mouse pointer turns into a small dot. If I then drag the fader up or down, the dot does not stick on the fader. Instead, I find I have to drag the dot well above or below the fader to make big adjustments. Is there any setting to control this? Or is this just how it is in Logic. In all other audio applications I've seen, the mouse pointer sticks on the fader when moving it up or down.

    No - haven't found a fix for this yet. I can only guess that maybe it wasn't as noticeable when display screens weren't so big. I'm running on a 27" iMac so the effect is quite pronounced. I supposed it could be argued that it gives you a finer grain of control to make small changes - but it really takes away from the 'feel' like you are moving a real fader.

  • Mail preferences not sticking

    I access iCloud email via the web when I'm at work (Win XP SP3 + latest release of Chrome).  Recently (as in over the past couple weeks, give or take) my preferences (not showing images in HTML email, default email address for sending, show BCC, etc.) are not sticking permanently.  Sometimes I make/save the changes and they stay for days; other times (like this morning) they don't even stay set for an hour.  My rules are always there, but the other preferences need to be reset periodically -- and seemingly randomly -- to their default values.
    I have deleted all cookies, cleared the cache, etc.  I have not tried another browser because (1) it could be days between "resets" and I don't want to have to use another browser for that long just for troubleshooting and (2) I need this to work in Chrome, so whether it works in another browser is more or less moot.  No matter what troubleshooting steps I've taken, the problem recurs unpredictably.  It is very frustrating because I have to keep a constant eye on the "From" address when replying or sending new messages to mailing lists I'm on (which reject messages from the address that iCloud defaults to), plus with the option defaulting to "On" to show images in HTML email, I'm opening myself up to even more spam than usual.
    So two questions:
    Is anyone else having this same issue?
    Why are these preferences apparently stored in cookies rather than persisting on Apple's server?  Or if they ARE on Apple's server, why do I have to keep changing them back periodically?
    Thanks,
    Brent

    As follow-up, just since I posted this message and without reloading the iCloud tab, restarting the browser, or anything like that, the preferences have once again reverted themselves less than an hour after I changed them.
