Scrolling is painful and erratic!

When I scroll a page, there is an inconsistent delay in the response.
I am running Firefox 27.0.1 on a brand new Windows 8.1 machine. Scrolling on the touchpad or with a mouse wheel will usually (but sometimes not) give a delay or a jump to the new page position. When I use the touchscreen to scroll, there is no issue.
I have tried many, many things to fix: "restart with add-ons disabled," periodically closing firefox to clear out the memory, unchecking smooth scrolling option, about:config options (mousewheel.pixel, general.smoothscrool.mousewheel.durationmaxms/minms, etc), and "reset firefox" to make sure I didn't tweak too many things.
I've checked other browsers while firefox is having this issue--the other browsers IE and Chrome don't have this problem.
Please help! I really rather use ff than another browser. But the scrolling is bad enough to make me ready to leave ff.

Any other thoughts? Scrolling is still inconsistent...

T440s UltraNav Touchpad Scroll Too Fast and Jerky

Wife purchased a T440s in November. Arrived December. I installed Windows 8.1 from scratch, and it worked. Then on Friday, Jan 31st 2014, I ran the driver update tool from Lenovo. It upgraded the driver to 17.0.12.60. She noticed that scrolling became much more unreliable. She could sometimes not get docs/webpages to scroll until she clicked around the page. Then she could get scrolling to work again. Also, scrolling speeds increased _dramatically_ to the point it was unusable. Also, the scrolling was quite jerky. So I rolled the driver back to 17.0.12.56 and immediately she noticed a difference. She was able to successfully scroll again and scrolling wasn't too fast and much smoother.
Others have noticed this on Notebook Review's forum. I'm going to ask those people to come here and add their comments.
Can Lenovo please fix the UltraNav driver? Thanks!

Yes, I experienced the same problem. Two finger scrolling became unusable (way too fast and erratic) after an upgrade to UltraNav 17.0.12.60. Reverting back to 17.0.12.56 fixed the issue.
Please fix this in the next version. Thank you!

settings - general - usuage - music - delete. Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then sync the music back via iTunes.

Is there a way to answer the 5c without swiping? It really is a pain and hard to do at times one handed. Maybe allow favorites to be answered with a click of the home button or possibly all calls with a home button push

First smart phone I have owned and the old flip phone was much easier to answer.....just press one button.

HT203175 My Ipod does not sinc with all of my Itunes library, only the first few albums. I recently changed my operating system to XP from Vista, which was a pain, and due to my fault had to reinstate most of my albums and all of the playlists.

How do I stop needing to scroll both horizontal and vertical in my folders to see all of the content.

There is no cancel button.
I don't see a download all button that will download everything from iCloud anyway. The download all button that I see refers only to the particular artist or album that you select from the left had side. I see no download all button for TV Shows or Movies.

Smooth Scrolling Article, Anchors, and Static Navigation

Hi!
Quick question on a smooth scrolling article:
Let's say I have a very wide article, roughly 30,000 pixels wide with lots of photos, info, etc.. Would it be possible to have a "floating" navigation on top of this wide article?
Something sort of like this: http://i.gyazo.com/a3e5266bb08fcc7625710ff0bb0c86fa.png
The article would of course continue via the smooth scroll style.. but those square buttons below: I know I could link them to smooth scroll to a certain % of the page, but what if I want them to be available down there regardless if I keep scrolling right? In a sense, a "fixed" navigation for the page.
Thank you.

I see. Hmm.. I bet one solution that would answer both the smooth scrolling, the navigation, and the memory problem would be:
What if I have say 20 pages, that are horizontal format. Each one has the timeline at the bottom which links to the corresponding page, such as a month (Jan) for page 1.
The client basically wants a long, seamless sequence of events in a timeline style where when you swipe left or right, they feel connected but have their own images, info, etc., but the background would be seamless. They want a way to navigate between each event via a timeline at the bottom.

Mouse will scroll right, left, and down not up. happens every once and a while.

mighty mouse will scroll right, left, and down, but not up. happens every once and a while. have wiped with alcohol, but no help this time.

As Barry says, wiping with liquids is not advisable.   However, with a similar problem this is how I approached it.
1.   Disconnect the mouse.
2.   Dampen (not soak) a cotton bud in alcohol. (I prefer whisky).   Then squeeze between fingers to ensure it is not wet.
3.   Rub the bud against the ball for a minute or so to ensure all parts of the ball have contact with the cotton bud.
4.   Then rub vigorously on clean white paper for a couple of minutes in a figure of eight fashion and tap it every now and then. I have seen quite large peices of fluff removed this way
5    Allow twenty minutes or so for the alcohol to finally evapourate to ensure there is no moisture.
6    Reconnect the mouse.
Having said all this, after three years or so your mouse will probably need to be replaced anyway.   Apple appear to be moving away from corded mice and therein lies another problem.   My experience with the Apple charger, Apple batteries and other premium batteries has not been good.   Batteries seem to run down at a rate of 10% per day even though its use is limited to about three hours daily.
You have been warned.

done.
some Flips are supported by iMovie, which you can abuse as a converter tool.
but 'non video standard' (=read 'video' as 'in TV') formats, resolutions and codecs ...
a) manual conversion = less convenient
b) loss of 'quality', e.g. when you blow-up tiny 480x320/15fps into video..

First question: this is a Captivate forum, are you sure that you have a Captivate problem (with cpvc or an imported video)?

Why does firefox 3.6.15 close so slowly and erratically?

'''bold text'''When I close down the web browser after viewing any web site, the window closes very slowly and erratically.

Well, this may not help anyone else, but I figured out my issue.
After reinstalling 3.6.4, it too was doing the same thing, using 25% CPU consistently, unable to move the window around, etc.
As bizarre as it sounds, this seems to have been an issue with having a tab open playing flash video during an update/install.
After 3.6.4 was doing it as well, I closed the justin.tv tab and restarted 3.6.4, opened justin.tv back up and it was fine using 2-4% CPU or so instead of 25%. Window can be moved around again too.
Downloaded the full 3.6.6 installer, closed the jtv tab, reinstalled 3.6.6, launched, and reopened a tab for jtv... fine still using 2-4% CPU tops.
Very bizarre. Nothing else changed during any of this other than whether I had JTV open and playing video during the update/install and subsequently if it would be loading as soon as it restarted after the update/install.
After the initial startup, I can close and reopen Firefox as much as I want with the JTV tab open and playing and it has no further issues.
Weird.

Elements organizer scrolls too fast and jumps when an image is selected?

Why does elements 12 organizer on new mac scrolls too fast and jumps all over?

I have found this to be a problem as well. Like other products, the scroll speed should start slow, and only speed up if the user moves the cursor further outside the panel.

Hi! My magic mouse won't scroll in word for mac - but it scrolls in safari and outlook. So frustrating!

I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and am using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5. My magic mouse no longer scrolls in word - though I can click on things with the magic mouse. And the magic mouse scrolls in safari and outlook. Any thoughts?

I had the same problem. I just quit Word and restarted and it worked. I tried with a new document just to try it at first and when that worked, I tried it on the document I was working on and it was fixed!

Is there any way to make the scroll bars wider and blue in Lion?

Nope, afraid not. The only third-party utility that you might look at is LionScrollBars 0.5.4. You can search for others at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

Scrambled and Erratic Printing Operations?

We have an HP Designjet T520. It is accessed by multiple workstations over our in office network. It is that we use it connected to the network via it's WIFI capability, but have also used it hard wire connected to the network, our problem appears either way. The problem that we are experiencing is one of erratic printing operations. Some pages print fine, others print with areas blank that should contain information, some sheets start to print then just stop and are cut off at about 6". The printer acts like it is going to print fine, it at times will print maybe 2 or 5 sheets of an 8 sheet job then stop and spit out (2) or (3) 6" strips of paper with mirrored information that is scrambled. Or at times you will send it a print job and it will not do anything, so you then discover that it has unloaded the paper, so you reload the paper, and it unloads it again, then it decides to finally except the paper then it prints a page, then it prints the next with information missing, then you might guess a person or two or three begin to get a little angry. We have powered it down and restarted it, only to get the same type of scrambled and erratic operations. What is our problem here?

+Still trying to determine exactly what got corrupted on the old account.+
You could trash numerous preference files and still not find the source of the problem. Count your blessings that you use OS X and not Windows. You solved the problem with a few minutes of work, not hours wiping the drive and reinstalling everything.
