Scroll bars in Lion

How do I adjust the scroll bars in Lion? I want the scroll bars to be visible always, and wide (like they were in previous operating systems).
In Lion, when I open a file, the scroll bar is invisible. To get the scroll bar to appear, I have to stab blindly for the thing, until I get lucky and hit it. Then, when the scroll bar does appear, it is excruciatingly narrow, and I have to really focus all of my mental powers in order to hit the darn thing.

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?

Window scrolling reversed in Lion. Why?

Window scrolling reversed in Lion. Why? I find it rather frustrating having been scrolling in the other direction for so many years. Can this be corrected or changed in some way? Is there a preference setting I can choose to make this change?

For some other things you may stumble over, see: Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard.

Mac OSX 10.7.4 mouse scroll resets to lion default after restart or shutdown

I use a Logitech M570 with my late 2009 Mac Mini and like to have my scroll set to the way scrolling should work with a scroll wheel and how it has work for year before Apple decided it was wrong. Well after I updated to 10.7.4 my mac now wants to reset the scroll to the new way Lion does it after every shutdown or restart and its starting to get really annoying. Does anyone know a way to fix this or a way I can bring this to Apple's attention so they can fix it.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Scroll bars in Lion - Not what I was expecting

On upgrading to Lion, which was relatively painless, I was surprised at the lack of control that I now have with the scroll bars. Previous versions have always had some way to increment/decrement position using arrow heads, but Lion doesn't give me any option to do this. I find it deeply frustrating. I can't believe I am th eonly one who is experiencing this so either you all do things differently to me or I haven't figured out the best way to use it (or change it).
I am right in thinking there is no option to change this behaviour?
Thanks

Hi Tom,
I thought that was the case.
The rest of Lion works fine and I can do everything else so it is only these blasted scroll bars that give me grief.
I do have Snow Leopard backed up on a NAS, and I have the original Snow Leopard disc. All data is double backed so no problem to rebuild if needs be. I'm just amazed that the scroll bars have been so badly designed in a system that gets everything else right.
Thanks
TT

I hate the narrow scroll bars in Lion. How to adjust?

I recently upgraded to Lion, which all seems realtively nice and well designed to me. In years of Apple developments, I have learned to appreciate the changes and gradually have come to appreciate most of the stuff they come up with. One thing really annoys me seriously, though, and that is the very narrow scroll bars! When I could easily find the scroll bar in 10.5, an 6. I now have to waste my energy on pointing the mouse at the very narrow scroll bar. Who the **** had the great idea to narrow it? There is NO WAY I can live with this.
Has anyone come up with a fix? If this is not fixable, I will downgrade to 10.6 again.

Well, if I were in this situation, I would purchase a Magic Trackpad
But you miss the point: I am annoyed with the GUI designers for falling in love with their own design and not letting users choose what is best for their own workflow. This is a 'forced' change and a basic violation of all design philosophy. What would you say if the gearchange in your car had been reversed after a visit to the garage? Exactly! To force users to change their workflow is actually very arrogant.
Lion is a New OS. If I purchased a new car that had a new shift pattern, It should not be a suprise as I would have (should have) researched and test drove the auto before purchasing. A quick trip to the Apple Store, or reading on-line reviews would have allerted you to the change in scrollers

Problems with scrolling after mountain lion download.

I just downloaded mountain lion today and ever since the download I am having issues with the scrolling for my magic mouse and trackpad. My problem is when I scroll down on my mouse or trackpad it actually goes up on the page and vice versa. I have seen others have had some scrolling issues but not exactly the same as mine. Just wondering if there is any known fix for this problem? I did the PRAM reset and also the SMC reset and that didn't fix the problem unfortunately.

Look in System Preferences > Trackpad (or mouse) > Scroll & Zoom tab > uncheck Scroll direction: Natural.
The scrolling direction has been changed to a technique where your push the screen up or pull it down, takes a few days to get used to. The swipe directions will also be affected by this change.

My magic mouse scrolls backwards with Lion

After upgrading to Lion the up and down movements on my Magic Mouse are backwards. I move my finger down and the page goes up, and the reverse is true when motioning up.

See "magic mouse scrolls in reverse/backwards" for the answer.

Disabling Horizontal Scroll in Mountain Lion (Magic Mouse)?

So I've tried pretty much everything and can't seem to this.
The following things used to work under Lion and before, it seems but having tried all of them, I'm at a loss for what to do. I like the magic mouse, but
when doing any development like coding or doing something in illustrator or Photoshop. The horizontal scroll makes my content jump all over the place.
Very frustrated hope someone can help. Here are all the things I've tried.
Open a terminal shell:
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NO
This no longer does anything.
I tried installing MagicPrefs to try and 'overwrite' the scroll functionality for horizontal movement... it doesn't work
I tried installing BetterTouchTool (BTT) to also overwrite the scroll functionality for horizontal movement... again it doesn't work.
What does work:
It seems I can go into System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad > Mouse Options > uncheck scrolling.
But this gets rid of all scrolling even vertical.
Now if MagicPrefs or BTT had a vertical scroll action you could bind to up/down swipes this would be fine, but they don't.
So, at a loss for what to do.

If you have windows 7 this might work for you. Found from another forum post here.

Re: how to disable horizontal scrolling with magic mouse in win7?
Mar 19, 2013 8:30 AM (in response to lexa_xxx)
I use MagicMouse on iMac with Windows 7 running (installed through BootCamp). Got sick of annoying horizontal scrolling. The solution described above has helped me to disable it. Here is what I've done in steps:
1) go to http://www.autohotkey.com/ and download an app (a script editor).
2) Install and run the program - please note that it will not open as it runs in the background
3) Rightclick on the desktop -> choose "New" -> "AutoHotkey Script" (a new script file will be created on the desktop) -> name it as you wish (e.g. "Mouse_HScroll")
4) Rightclick on the file you've just created and choose "Edit Script" from the menu.
5) Add these three lines below existing text in the file:
WheelLeft::return
WheelRight::return
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
6) Save file
7) Run "Convert .ahk to .exe" program from the package installed earlier and browse the file you've just created, hit ">Convert<" -> .exe file should be created. Run this file -> the scrolling should be disabled now.
7) You may wish to move this file to Start/"Autorun" folder, so it would be launched automatically each time you reboot your Mac/PC.
Hope this helps! Good Luck

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.

Are there any apps that make it now possible to scroll with Mountain Lion ?

I just gave up on a project that required me to be able to scroll through a Senate bill. I'll probably go back, but it just shouldn't be so difficult, so painful. and I'm not talking about the bill's language. No, it's just Apple's decision to do away with the USEABLE search arrows that existed before Mountain Lion, and, yes, I know that you can use the little up and down triangles--sometimes--for this purpose. I have written to Apple about this on more than one occasion, but I never felt that this would do any good. Anyway, I came here to see if anyone knows of an app that has been developed to overcome this strange, almost malicious, behavior of Apple's. Are there any apps I can use on my iMac for scrolling? If not why not? I know I have a lot of company in my disgust with Apple's behavior, so I have to there is some prohibitively difficult problem that makes such a fix impossible. Is that the reason why no one has come to the rescue of Apple's suffering customers?

For very long documents in PDF or on a web page, I just lean on the space bar for big jumps (Shift-spacebar goes up), or on the down arrow keys for short scrolling. If I'm on my laptop, the trackpad provides both large jumps and fine control. If I'm on my desktop, I love my scroll wheel mouse.
In apps like Word, you can't scroll with the spacebar because you need it to type spaces, so I just use the Page Up/Page Down keys. On short Mac keyboards you press Fn+Up Arrow or Fn+Down Arrow to page up/down.
There are so many more and better ways to scroll now compared to the 1980s when the only way was to click-click-click over and over again on stupid scroll arrows. If it stopped scrolling it meant you had to re-aim the mouse because the mouse slipped a little and the arrow is no longer hitting the arrow. If you wanted to scroll up, you had to move the mouse quite a ways because the arrows were on opposite ends of the bar. Scroll arrows were the worst and least efficient way to scroll and I don't miss them at all.
I'm glad we have so many superior alternatives now where, unlike scroll arrows, you don't even have to look at the screen to scroll quickly and accurately. Today, the only good use for a scroll bar is to tell you how far you are through the document.

Scrolling with Mountain Lion

I just dropped in to see if there are any apps that have been developed to enable the user to scroll pages. Please don't bother telling me to complain to Apple because, at the suggestion of people on this board, I have already done that. I'm just checking, and hoping, that there are now apps out there that enable a Mac user do to what was always posssible until Mountain Lion. Yes, I know about using those little directional triangles, but they're not really the answer.

Linda,
Your comments have haunted me ever since I saw them way back in March. Today I may be able to offer you some useful advice. Here are some things that seem to have solved the problem for me. I might add that I had some difficuilty in installing Smart Scroller, but maybe the fault was mine. Anyway, I downloaded it from MacUpdate for only $10.00+ and today I am beginning seeing the benefits (Yesterday, when Installed it, I thought I might have wasted my money).
========== ====
(1) Try changing the scrolling speed (System Preferences>Accessibility>Trackpad (or mouse) options>scrolling speed
“That might have done the trick. I haven't yet given the new settings a complete check, but setting tracking speed to "slowest" and scrolling speed to "fastest". enabled me to scroll as I haven't been able do since I installed Mountain Lion.
(2) You might try Smart Scroll <http://www.marcmoini.com/sx_en.html.> I don’t know about Marcini, but I downloaded it from MacUpdate

Scrolling in Mountain lion

The question is, how to make scrollig in Safari (for example) slower. When I check my updates on twitter or any other long page, after three scrolls down (using magic mouse) the scroll become too fast!

Go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad. In that screen, click the "Mouse Options..." button in the lower right.
In the new screen, try setting the "Scrolling" pulldown menu to "without inertia". You may also need to experiment with the "Scrolling speed" slider.
Note - the changes you make are 'live', meaning you can leave the prefs window open while testing the results.

Mountain lion finder search scroll bug

Hi all,
I've found another major bug in Mountain Lion. Previous bugs include:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19426052?ac_cid=op123456#19426052
This bug is in the Finder scrolling function in a search window.
When searching for a file in Finder (or through Spotlight -> then clicking "Show all in Finder"), the results appear as normal. However, when scrolling down the finder window, the content keeps resetting to the top of the list, making it extremely difficult to find anything that is not displayed in the available window space.
Hope this gets noticed & fixed in the next update.
Regards

I've had this same Spotlight results scroll focus change OS bug ever since Mountain Lion. I've observed it on 3 different macbook pros, both with an upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion, and also a complete CLEAN install of Mountain Lion on a brand new disk where I've not dragged over any system files, preferences or apps. For me, all ML exhibit this bug from 10.8 to the most current 10.8.3.
I have not edited the Search Results categories that are selected (in Preferences > Spotlight)
The only time this has not occurred is in the first 2 days of the using the clean install of ML. The scroll focus behaved correctly even with a lot of results. It's now been a week since the clean install and the scroll focus change bug is now active again since day 3. It is possible to scroll slowly with the mouse wheel/gesture and it won't always (10% of the time?) snap focus to the top.
Thanks for the reference link above, but it was not helpful to me:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12261261#12261261
The thread refers to OS 10.6., and I did not observe this bug in that OS, or 10.7.
One recommendations is to delete the plist (preferences), but this is not a practical solution because the problem comes back quickly.
The other recommendation is to turn off calculate size of files or the Spotlight results folder. It is not possible, as far as I can see, to turn calculate sizes on in the View Options for the Spotlight results window. It is possible to turn on/off sizes as a column in the results, but this made no difference with the bug.
Other tests I've performed that did not fix the bug:
Change "Show scroll bars:" to "Always". This made no difference.
Change "Click in the scroll bar to:" to "Jump to the spot that's clicked". No difference.
Other tests that could be performed:
1) System Preferences > Spotlight: Search Results - turn categories on and off to see if that makes a difference.
And finally, this has reduced the problem to occurring only 10% of the time now!
turn off Smooth Scrolling. This is no longer a checkbox in System Preferences > Appearance in 10.8 ML, so you have to use a shell command in Terminal. If you want to explore this approach look at these two references:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120726122633912
http://www.marekbell.com/how-to-disable-smooth-scrolling-in-mountain-lion/
Now I'm waiting to see if other parts of the ML OS will be negatively affected by turning off Smooth Scrolling, and then I'll decide which is worse. Bottom line, this is not a fix, but it seems to have reduced the occurrence of the Spotlight results scroll focus change OS bug.
