My scroll wheel got inverted after installing Lion

Does anyone know how to fix this? I used to scroll "down" on the wheel to go down; now if I scroll "down" the page goes up!
I know it wasn't like this before because everytime I scroll I tell myself, why is going in this direction?
Is there any way to fix this? I have a Logitech Perfromance MX mouse, but there is no customization to adjust scroll direction.

HT2845 why doesn't my mighty mouse track ball scroll up or down vertically?

Hi:
New ones are not that expensive, but I would try running it up and down (vigorously) on microfiber cloth or a towel or something.
If that does not fix it...yes I would buy a new one. I like wireless ones anyway

My apple wireless mouse scrolls in the opposite direction. When I scroll up, down, right and left it always scrolls the opposite direction. Can anyone help?

Hi Malky H.,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
You can find this information here:
OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.

After installing Lion, mouse up and down scrolling does not work

After installing Lion, scrolling with an Apple mouse up and down does not work. Horizontal scrolling does work.

Hi guys. First, check the scroll outside of Firefox. Is it working?
Second,
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar
Select '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.

I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro. It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page). Anyone know how to fix this?

First sentence in OPs question:

I guess the track pad settings would look similar to my screen shot?

Sound Problems After Installing Lion

I see many are having issues with sound after installing Lion. I have sound and then will lose sound after closing and reopening. I have to restart to restore sound. This is getting old quick. Does anyone know a fix or if one is coming? Thanks!

Not sure how much it helps, but here is my experience:
I have found that after a while, midi-style sounds stop playing. Most obvious to me is the crinkle tune when throwing away trash, or the click when placing something into the trash. When these sounds stop playing, I can still set the volume (and the up/down volume sounds will play) but the midi tracks don't start playing.
A while back I was hunting for a solution to this problem and rebooted and messed around, etc, etc. One person suggested changing the midi format since they knew there was a bug in the midi playback in Lion (a beta comment I think). So I used the Audio MIDI Setup application to change the Built-In Output format to 2ch-32bit float. For a while the sounds were back.
Just now, I noticed that they had disappeared again, so I went back to Audio MIDI Setup and changed it back to 2ch-24bit Integer. All of a sudden, a stream of old sounds started playing - presumably everything that had not been correctly played for a while.
Not sure if it will work again, but next time the sound vanishes, I will try to change the format again and report back what happens. My guess is that just changing the format will cause the queue to reset and play any old sounds. Then the sounds will work for a while until the bug is triggered again. Perhaps the workaround for now is to just keep flipping the Ouput MIDI format?

Zoom in and out is not working in folders after installing Lion OS

Zoom in and out is not working in folders after installing Lion OS. Did not understand why?

Feature has been removed AFAIK. As far as zoom is concerned, the new operating system has been..whatever the opposite of optimized is...pessimized?

Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion

Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion. I have a Laice 1 terabyte external drive that worked fine with Snow Leopard and now no show ... tried connecting it to front port and Mac Pro can't see it. Also lost Office,Quicken, and Final Cut Pro says: " You can't open application because Power PC apps are no longer supported" this is Not a good surprise!

Does the drive work when just directly connected? If so, have you prepped the drive?
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Can't read from WD storage after installing lion

After installing Lion, unable to access files on WD storage.
The error below comes up
The folder “bbb” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
How can this be corrected?

Thanx for the suggestion. Sounds like an ugly work-around and not a true solution. Unfortunately for me, the two Panther machines (one is a laptop) can not be easily co-located with a printer. Any chance that the problem is due to a known software bug for which a fix might be forthcoming? Also, wondering if it's known that it won't work to hook the printer up directly to the Tiger machine and have the Panther machines print through the Tiger one. —Ken

No canon lbp 5100 After installing lion

My iMac does not see my canon lbp 5100 printer after installing lion anymore. I have tried updating the drivers bud dat dit not work. It all works perfectly on my Windows laptop so theres nothing wrong with the hardware. Can anybudy help me?

If the iMac cannot see the LBP5100 when connected via USB cable, then this is not a fault of the driver or Lion but most likely a problem with the USB cable.
Open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select the USB entry in the left column. The top right pane will show all of the USB busses on the iMac and if the USB printer cable is good then the printer will be listed under one of these busses.
Note that the USB printer cable needs to be connected directly to the iMac. If you have a USB hub or some other device between the Mac and the printer then this can cause failure.

After installing Lion, iMovie09 no longer sees my Canon AVCHD. It finds photos. Anybody found a way to fix this?

Is that with the camera directly connected or with the card in a card reader?
I haven't tried in a while, but I know it worked in Lion at some point. I did all my uploading with a card reader, so that may be the difference.

Magic: After installing Lion on a clean HD, all accounts and programs are back

After I've erased my iMac, I did a clean install through an external USB with Lion 10.7.4. MAGIC: All former user-accounts and programs (include office) are back again.
What was happened?
I'm using iCloud and Time Mashine. A few days before, my iMac (10.7.5) had some errors, and than suddenly, it didn't start again. I've tried to reinstall from Time Mashine, but after about 60%, it had quit with an error. It might been an HD error, so I did an secure erase (with Disc Utility). After that, I booted from my USB with 10.7.4 installer and have installed Lion, restarted, and than there it was: All former user accounts and programs are back! I've thought, I has got crazy. But now, I hope, someone can explain me, what has happend.
Thanks for answers,

No worries, it was late, I was a little loopy and having a little fun while trying to help. You just keep poppin' away!
Well we are on the same page my friend haha.
Good to hear.
I completed a fresh install of Lion on my HDD and migrated my data over with the migration assitant and all has worked well. Not flawlessly however all problems I encountered I could get past with a little thinking.
I must say the computer is running so much better now (touch wood, I dont want to post this and have my computer crash xD). No more spinning beach ball, no more waiting excessively for apps to launch. In terms of speed it appears it is now close to the way SL used to be (of course I dont expect it to be on par as Lion is a new OS which is yet to be refined).
Excellent!
In terms of battery life I cannot comment, I am yet to use the computer for a period of time on battery. I will report back when I do so, most likely in a day or so (if that).
I must recommend that if anyone is experiancing slow downs of their Mac after installing Lion, and it is obviously not Spotlight indexing to blame, that they try this. It does appear to improve general speed.
That is good for many people to know, so thank you.
I do hope Apple release updates and patches for Lion quite soon, it still has bugs in my mind.
I have no information on it, but I would bet on it.
Thanks for all of your help tjk, your a star!
Wow, those are kind words. Thank you, and you are quite welcome.

Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on ical. After installing Lion I can barely read the dates of the month in ICal

Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on the ICal calender. I can barely read mine after installing Lion.

I should note that the time stays on the left of the event name when I re-enter the text (which I had to do all the time before I found the "show event times" button) so I feel like there's a way.

Unable to load many web based games after installing lion

After installing Lion, I am unable to launch several online games (Pogo e.g.). What compatibility issues are being addressed?

I didn't think reinstalling was gonna do me any good except for getting rid of every single thing I have ever installed since getting this MBP. I'm thinking it has to be something that is on my computer causing this, especially since it only affects my ability to get to this one site and I only started seeing this problem yesterday.
So, I went ahead and disabled all my Chrome extensions and I don't have any Safari extensions at all. That didn't fix my issue.
I've been trying to run Sophos on here, thinking that maybe I've got a Trojan or some kind of malware, but it never seems to finish a full scan of my hard drive. That "Plugin" that I mentioned above has me very suspicious, except that whatever that is, it's been on my computer since basically when I first got it. Maybe it's malicious, or maybe it's just a poorly named piece of software. In any case, it got updated last night around 11pm, about the same time I noticed my problem. After trying everything I have, it's hard for me to overlook that as coincidence.
But, where do I go to gain more information about what that could be? I should mention that this MBP is basically my first Apple computer. I've been a PC guy (still am mostly) forever, but I finally dove in and got a Mac to start iOS development. So I'm sure there are ways to get more information than I am currently aware of.
Also, apologies if I posted this in the wrong forum.
