Scrolling direction for touchpad and mouse.

Is there any way to select "natural scrolling" for the touchpad and old style scrolling for a mouse?

You can create an AppleScript app and drop on the desktop that can quickly do it for you. Enable access for assistive devices must be checked in Accessibility in System Preferences for it to work.
Code:
tell application "System Preferences"
  activate
          set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.trackpad"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
          tell process "System Preferences"
                    click radio button "Scroll & Zoom" of tab group 1 of window "Trackpad"
  click checkbox 1 of tab group 1 of window "Trackpad"
          end tell
end tell
tell application "System Preferences"
  quit
end tell

  • 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.

  • Reverse the scroll direction for my track pad

    i just updated to mavericks and i can't figure out how to reverse the scroll direction for my track pad

    ? Are you saying that the option isn't there? Mine is in the "Mouse" section.

  • HT201272 How do I remove DRM-protected tracks?  I've purchased iTunes match and followed all of the directions for redownloading and I still can't play some of my tracks on the DJay 2 app.  Please help!  Do I need to purchase these tracks all over again?

    How do I remove the DRM-Protection from tracks so that I can play them on my DJay 2 app.  I've followed the directions for removal and it's not working...
    Will I have to purchase these tracks again?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

  • Changing the scrolling direction for my mouse will change the scrolling direction for my trackpad

    I really like the new feature "natural scrolling" with the trackpad, but when I use my mouse, the scrolling direction is reversed as well. So I tried to change the settings of my usb mouse (razer diamondback) from "natural" back to the old scrolling. Unfortunately it also changed my trackpad settings back to normal.
    Is there a possibility to use my mouse scrolling the "old style" while using the "natural scrolling" with my trackpad ?

    I've said a very similar thing in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3290807?start=15&tstart=0
    The thing is that someone from Nova Scotia posted a link in that thread to "Scrollreverser", and it looks like that tool can actually de-couple mouse and trackpad scrolling.
    I've sent the proprietor of the app an e-mail asking if it will also work in Lion... If the answer is yes, this might do you fine...

  • 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.

  • Recomendation For Keybords and Mouses

    I have a iMac G5 with a logitech keyboard and a tailed mighty mouse and also a logitehc trackball not longer on use.
    I really would like to go wireless. Now that there is a BT mighty mouse was thinking on that but still dont know any good keyboard and the new keyboard from Apple is not as good as it used to be the old one.
    I checked this logitech combo. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2162,CONTENTID=114 20
    Any suggestion?

    I have read mixed things about that keyboard, but otherwise I am a huge fan of Logitech input devices.
    I rather like the Apple BT keyboard and mouse. I have used the same one since I bought mine in December '04 without any problems. I do have the BTMM on the way as I could not resist it.
    The one thing I do not like about the Logitech S 530 that you reference is that it uses RF wireless instead of BT. As far as batteries go, I just have a set of rechargables that I rotate though. As soon as the low battery meter pops up, I swap them and put those in the charger. I always have a fresh set waiting for me.

  • Scroll direction with 3rd party mouse (Razer)?

    Hi,
    I've been wondering why my scroll direction went the wrong way after Lion. However, possible since I use a 3rd party mouse (Razer Deathadder), there is no option to change this under mouse.
    Does anybody else have a workaround?
    Daniel.

    Unfortunately, thats not the window I get!! Here is mine.

  • How can I disable the touchpad and mouse shortcuts for go back a page? I keep accidentally going back a page and losing tons of data because of it.

    I've looked in both Windows 7's system options and Firefox options for ways of disabling this autoshortcut for going back a page, but there doesn't seem to be one. I'll be using the touchpad, sliding my fingers across, when I somehow activate a shortcut for "Go Back a Page" and end up losing tons of data on a form or chat or game.

    You can set mousewheel.with*.action pref(s) like mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action to 0 to perform a scroll.
    mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action
    mousewheel.withnokey.action
    mousewheel.withshiftkey.action
    mousewheel.withaltkey.action
    mousewheel.withmetakey.action

  • HP ENVY 15-q014tx Issues with touchpad and mouse

    Dear HP,
    I recently bought this laptop and it have been giving me problems ever since.
    Let me start with the touchpad issue. It started out with my touchpad having issues but I shrugged it off as I thought it would've disappeared. It did. But it comes back ever so often I find it hard to ignore anymore. It works as and when it feels like working. The touchpad jumps around the page and clicks when I try to move it around. I can't even scroll up and down with my 2 fingers. I searched and there is no updates available for all my drivers.
    Another issue is when I plug in my mouse, the computer suddenly becomes extremely jumpy. For example, when I watch a video on youtube or any other website (I've tried on all browsers), the video will suddenly stop and it will emit a buzzing noise as though it has been hung and shortly after continues where it has left off. I realise if I change the power option from power saving to high performance this will occur less often. But recently, I feel that it happens too often even when it is plugged in and at high performance. I've called in about this issue and have been waiting for a return phone call ever since. I have yet to receive a return call. (I have since taken a video of what happened so you can better relate to what I meant)
    Another problem that I have made a temporary fix for is that my computer is unable to shutdown when I do a proper shutdown. I have since made a shortcut key that does a shutdown command to turn off the computer.
    I really hope I can get this fixed asap. I await your favourable reply.
    Best Regards,
    Edward
    Edit. I forgot to add that I ran a full hardware scan by restarting the computer, pressing F2 and then running a Extensive System Test. Everything passed

  • MacBook 13" (Model A1181) searching for keybord and mouse/ won't turn on

    My MacBook will not turn on again.
    Initially my screen was not working correctly and indication suggested a broken inverter board. I changed the inverter board (succesfully) and while having the machine open I cleaned and reassembled the fan, applied new thermal paste and reassembled the heat sink unit. When I had reassembled the whole machine, I turned it on and moved the display to different angles to check if it would work properly again, which it did.
    But then it became problematic. At the first start, one could hear the sound and see the Apple. After that the machine asked on the screen to turn on mouse and keybord and showed no reaction when using the trackpad/keys (still not fully booted).
    I thought of not having plugged in the upper case cable correctly and re-opened the MacBook and checked it again. But it got worse and since then, pushing the power button shows absolutely no reaction.
    What might be the source of it and how could it be fixed possibly?

    Nobody ever wants to hear this, but consider taking your computer in to an authorized service place.  It could be your wifi card is going bad.

  • Windows 10 Driver for Touchpad - two finger scrolling!

    Hi,  I just upgraded my HP Spectre x360 to Windows 10.  All went smoothly except that it appears to have killed two finger scrolling on my touchpad and says that the driver is invalid when I try to look into the synaptic settings.  I don't want to uninstall because there isn't a replacement driver that I can see. Is there going to be a Windows 10 upgraded driver please? Or is there a workaround? Thanks for any help. Will

    I've upgraded mine, and I'm using the windows 8.1 synaptics clickpad drivers, 2 finger scrolling works, everything works like in windows 8.1. Maybe you can uninstall that driver and reinstall using the windows 8.1 you can download from the support site. Hope I helped. =)) By the way the only thing I'm bummed about the touchpad is that the 3 finger gesture for invoking task view or the desktop view does not work. Lets hope for a driver update on that one.

  • Lenovo G500 TouchPad and Keyboard wont function at the same time

    Lenovo Laptop G500
    Windows 8
    Synaptics TouchPad V7.5
    Driver Version 16.3.13.3
        The Synaptics TouchPad and the keyboard won't function simultaneously. If I uninstall the driver for the TouchPad the keyboard and TouchPad will work simultaneously on the windows driver however the TouchPad is very limited. There is no option to turn off the palm touch listed as a fix in other forum post.
        This problem makes it impossible to play games that require the TouchPad and mouse to work simultaneously I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue. 
    Thanks in advance Dennis

    hi djdishaw,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Can you try to:
    1. Lower the palm tracking and touch sensitivity to minimum, apply the changes and observe.
    - Link to picture
    2. If same problem,  try to update the Synaptics Touchpad driver to v16.3.15.1 and repeat Step 1.
