Scrolling in lion?

In Lion, scroll bars (vertical mostly) seem to appear and disappear at their own volition - how
do you make them always available?

System Preferences > General > Show scroll bars: Always

How do I fix scrolling in Lion?

I've read in various places that you can revert scrolling in Lion back to how it was Snow leopard via an option under preferences under either "mouse" or "trackpad," but unfortunately I don't have this option on my system.
I have an early '08 Macbook and use the previous version of apple's BT (mighty) mouse. Any thoughts or ideas? This reverse scrolling is driving me nuts!

Hm. That sounds like a corrupted preference pane.
I don't know when you installed Lion, but if it wasn't today, you could check to see if the preference pane has been modified since you installed Lion. Look at /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Trackpad.prefPane and see if the file has been modified since you installed Lion.
If it has, and you have a Time Machine (or other) backup, you could restore the preference pane from the backup right after you installed Lion.
I'm not sure if you can download the Trackpad software from Apple Downloads - it's possible to do so for earlier versions (http://support.apple.com/downloads/#trackpad), but I'm not sure if they'll work for Lion.

How can I turn off smooth scrolling in Lion?

I can't not turn off smooth scrolling.
Actually, I don't want to use smooth scrolling in Lion OS.

Mouse scrolling in lion problems

I'm using a traditional mouse with a scroll wheel. The mouse scrolling behavior is really odd in Lion and it seems to have something to do with bounce scrolling.
Scrolling in apps like Safari works fine and is very responsive where bounce scrolling is disabled. For apps like Xcode where bounce scrolling is enabled it feels like the the app is "catching up" to scroll movements and it has this acceleration effect. It only seems to happen for me in apps where you are scrolling through text and it just feels sluggish to me.
Everything felt find in Snow Leopard so I'm not sure what changed behind the scenes in Lion. I'd just like it to work the way it did in Snow Leopoard! Thanks for any help you can offer.

It's been moved to System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Trackpad options... button.

How can I enable one finger scrolling in Lion ?

I have looked everywhere to try and find a way to set up "scroll zones." Where you touch with one finger on the vertical or horizontal edges of the trackpad to scroll. All my serches result in "scrolling reversed in OSX Lion" and I have found it impossible to wade through them, I have this amazingley huge trackpad and I can't use it like I'm used to. Please help.

Thanks for the quick reply. I do enjoy the two finger scrolling. However using it exclusively cramps my fingers and I would image it cramps other peoples fingures as well, I'm not looking to replace the two fingure scrolling. I am looking to suppliment it with scrolling zones though, I have this enourmous trackpad (the best in the mobile computing world) that would be absoutely ideal for use with scrolling zones. I have been researching quite a bit and can't find a solution. Hoping I can find a solution here. I would love to be able to slide one finger sideways along the top and bottom to scroll to the side, and slide one finger up and down along the left and right edges to scroll up and down. I really hope I can find a solution. Please somebody....let me know if theres a program/plugin that can do this????

Bluetooth Mouse Not Scrolling in Lion

Man these forums come in handy, Last night I updated my Mac from Snow Leopard to Lion. I went to bed and woke up ready to set up. The scroll window test came up, and I couldnt scroll. Yes I know that the scrolling is inverted in Lion. Either way, it wont scroll. This is the new Magic Mouse. When I was on Snow Leopard, I disabled scrolling because I play Minecraft, it gets rather annoying to click and it scroll thru your inventory. I forgot to enable it back. I dont see a button on Lion to enable scrolling. The scrolling bars aare harder to see, and i am trying to get a young child to start interacting with computers, and this was a good step.

Bump.

Can't set up new Magic Mouse scrolling with Lion

I am running Lion on my MacBook Pro and just got a brand new Magic Mouse. I can pair it with the computer and move the pointer, right and left click, but no scrolling or middle button clicking. When I go into System Preferences and select Mouse, I only have the options to "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling," Tracking Speed, Double-Click Speed, Scrolling Speed, Primary mouse button and Zoom using scroll wheel while holding ^Control.
Nowhere do I see the little video and gestures window like I see for my trackpad preferences. I thought maybe I had to install the Wireless Mouse Software, but all I can find is a version for Snow Leopard and my computer will not open the file because it says it's incompatible.
Is scrolling (just up, down, left or right like in a browser) not possible in Lion with a Magic Mouse? What am I missing?

Your missing the Magic Mouse Preference pane. Sometimes 3rd party drivers interfere with this. USB overdrive has been reported the most. Your Magic Mouse Preferences should look like this:
If you can find the culprit and uninstall it, this pane should return.

Hard to scroll in Lion

Apple, please fix the skinny scrollbars in Lion! It is hard to scroll. Often I wind up grabbing the whole browser instead of the skinny scrollbar. Please bring back the scroll arrows, too.

Hello nowitall,
You can send your message directly to Apple here :
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Some reports say that the scrollbars are bigger in OS 10.8 (will be released this summer). But maybe they will add that in Lion too, in the next update.

Mouse will not scroll after installing lion os

Mouse will not scroll after lion os install.

In Lion the scrolling is natural i.e. reversed to the way that computers typically scroll. Think of the scroll as grabbing the page an moving it either up or down vs moving the scroll bar down up or down. Also, the scroll bars are "hidden" by default and only show up when you are scrolling.
Are you using and Apple mouse? If you go to the system preferences and then to the "mouse" section there are options to change the natural scrolling. And if you go to System Preferences and then to "general" you can set it to show or hide the scroll bars.
If this is not what the issue is let me know and let me know what mouse you are using because there is something else that it could be.

Lion broke scroll wheel Razer DeathAdder

After upgrading to Lion my Razer DeathAdder mouse can't scroll using the mouse wheel. I'm hoping that Razer will release an updated driver, but in the mean time does anyone have any work arounds? Anyone else seeing the same problem? Note: this isn't about the new "backwards" scrolling in Lion. It doesn't scroll at all in any direction on any page or application.
My only work around so far is to set the scroll directions to be Macros, scroll up = Up Arrow, scroll down = Down arrow. It just works ok but it is certainly not ideal. It doesn't work right in a good many scenarios.

I forgot to reply to this thread; I figured out what my problem was. In the Driver Application, beneath the button selection, there's an Advanced Mousewheel Options which I hadn't noticed and assumed was just a graphic. The scroll wheel was set by default to left click when I scrolled up, and right click when I scrolled down.
In response to HimynameisJoe, in case you misunderstand how it works, here is what you do to program the buttons:
1. Select the button from the main window area (1 -- 5)
2. A dropdown menu appears on that button's selection area.
3. Select whatever setting as which you want it to operate, for example, Primary Click, Secondary Click, Pass-through, Advanced Buttons, Button Off.
4. If you want to use the 3rd, 4th and 5th as extra buttons for different apps, for example, for FPS games or WoW, then select Pass-through. This worked for me easily with Snow Leopard, however, I've yet to have it work in Lion.
5. If you want to use a button for a single key such as F5 or the Fn key, or you want to set a key as a macro, select Advanced Functions. This will open the pane which I suspect you're having trouble accessing.
For anyone who's having trouble with the new reversed scrolling and has both a mouse and a trackpad, (such as use of a MacBook) then I have worked out a nice compromise:
1. Enable the reversed scrolling which allows the iOS-like trackpad scrolling which will make the trackpad really intuitive to use.
2. Go to the Driver settings for the Deathadder and change the Advanced Mousewheel Options. Change the the upward scroll motion to Scroll Down and the downward scroll option to Scroll Up.

The scroll it doesnt work with Lion

I just installed Lion in my iMac and in my Magic Mouse, it doesnt work anymore the SCROLL !!
in the options of mouse all its checked on.
No more scroll with Lion ???

depends where you live...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripping#Legality
In the USA for instance
In the case RealNetworks v. DVD CCA,[2] the final injunction reads, "while it may well be fair use for an individual consumer to store a backup copy of a personally owned DVD on that individual's computer, a federal law has nonetheless made it illegal to manufacture or traffic in a device or tool that permits a consumer to make such copies."[3]This case made clear that manufacturing and distribution of circumvention tools was illegal, but fair use of those tools was not.

TS2662 trackpad and mouse will not scroll

On 27" iMac using OS 10.7.4, trackpad and mouse will not scroll or swipe, can point with both, click only with mouse, scroll only with keys on keyboard. What have I done now??? They are all paired with good batteries. Have checked in settings and they are enabled to scroll.

Content Scrolling is Inverse of Spaces Scrolling

This has got to be the most unintuitive design decision I have ever come across... Affects OSX Lion.
This is what is happening.
With natural scrolling enabled:
Swiping left in a text viewer will move the content left / scroll the content right - this is correct.
Swiping left in mission control will move the space right / select the left space.
Swiping left in a system preferences control will move the the control right / select the parent/left control.
With natural scrolling disabled it is the exact opposite:
Swiping left in a text viewer will move the content right / scroll the content left - this is correct.
Swiping left in mission control will move the space left / select the right space.
Swiping left in a system preferences control will move the the control left / select the child/right control.
What I expect is for the swiping direction to be consistent between content and controls and spaces.
With natural scrolling enabled:
Swiping left in a text viewer will move the content left / scroll the content right.
Swiping left in mission control will move the space left / select the right space.
Swiping left in a system preferences control will move the the control left / select the child/right control.
With natural scrolling disabled:
Swiping left in a text viewer will move the content right / scroll the content left.
Swiping left in mission control will move the space right / select the left space.
Swiping left in a system preferences control will move the the control right / select the parent/left control.
Can this please be resolved. It's really doing my head in.

Ahh, yes.
Ah, but I would disagree.
I would say that Aaron Johns is, in this ancient post, talking about the broken, backwards scrolling (which we're all now used to) that has been around forever – and that Apple is trying to 'fix' with its natural scrolling in Lion:
I know, that's what I'm saying, I think it should be. For two finger 'scrolling' the current behavior is OK, because you're effectively controlling the 'scroll bars', but for three finger 'swiping' I think it should be like the iPhone, swipe left... page goes left, swipe right... page goes right, same for up and down. Just seems more natural to me. What am I missing?
Bear with me...
This comes from the fact that the original idea of scrolling-with-a-gesture came from the mouse wheel... Moving the top of the mouse wheel toward you (down) "felt" like the bottom of the mouse wheel was pushing the 'paper' on the screen upward.
When we started translating this behavior to trackpads, we kept the same motion because it's what we were used to – but Aaron is right; there's a weird disconnect with a trackpad because although we are conceptually moving "forward" and therefore "right", we are pushing our finger physically in one direction and watching something move in another direction.
Apple's whole interaction model with Lion is iPad-like, in that if you swipe a finger right, you are not "moving forward", but moving the thing-that-you-are-touching to the right. (How weird would it be if you placed your finger on your iPhone or iPad screen, moved to the right... and all the icons moved left? The reason an iPad feels so natural that a 2-year-old can use it is precisely because it works the same way the physical world does.)
Lion is a move to unify the motions, so using a trackpad uses the same motions that using a touchscreen would... as though you are physically touching your data and moving it around on the screen.
