Two finger trackpad scroll doesn't work in Mac os 10.9

I just upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 and noticed that the little arrow buttons on the bottom of the scroll bar is no longer there. So I looked into other alternatives to scrolling windows up and down and found that the trackpad has the ability to do so using the two finger scroll feature. This would be great, except mine doesn't work. Other trackpad features work, but the scroll up and down does not. Any ideas to get this to work?

Use OnyX to clean your system and User cache files. It's free to download. Just click on the "Automation" tab, check the boxes and run it.

How to turn off two finger trackpad scrolling?

I would like to turn off two finger trackpad scrolling.
I checked the Trackpad System Preferences, but there is no option to turn off two finger trackpad scrolling.
I also checked the BetterTouch App, but it doesn't offer this basic option.
So, anybody outher, how can I turn it off? Is there an app for that?

ok, i finally found this OSX 10.7.4 user who had the same problem:https://discussions.apple.com/message/18570190#18570190
For Mavericks OSX 10.9 the solution is found in System Preferences / Accessibility
Kind of a strange place to hide a basic function for trackpad options and overall usability.
Uncheck the ( ) Scrolling box and the issue is resolved.
It's great to keep an interface simple, but this is a not an elegant solution.
Steve would have fired the team in charge ;-)

Magic Trackpad - 2 finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail - works in Safari

Hi,
I've been happily using a Magic Trackpad for a couple of years but just recently the two finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail. It still works fine in other apps eg Safari so this seems like a very odd problem ie I can't imagine you can configure it to work in one app and not another! Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob

Thank you merleau. I had the very same problem and found your solution perfect. This helped me tremedously.

T410, Scrolling doesn't work at all

Brand new (less than 2 months old) T410, like I said scrolling doesn't work. I have messed around with the ultranav utility, updated the latest trackpoint drivers, etc, scrolling actually works in the ultranav util "test scroll" but nowhere else. this is trackpad and trackpoint scrolling , in every combination of settings. Any ideas?

hey sez,
could you uninstall the Ultranav software and then reinstall it again ?
If doing this does not resolve it, then I suggest calling Tech support via the number listed in the link below

Mouse clicks, scrolling doesn't work in applications from start screen (let's call it "tile application")

Hello!
I need help.
2 days ago the mouse worked fine. Yesterday I noticed that the mouse scroll does not work in the "Book Bazaar Reader". Now I found that the right mouse button and left mouse button does not work in some applications, but scrolling work in these applications.
In mail application clicks work in some panels, scrolling doesn't work.
In desktop mode, the mouse works perfectly.
Please help!

Hi
Since at desktop mode everything fine, i suspected some application or 3rd party SW change your mouse setting
Go to run, msconfig, run as administrator, within the System Configuration dialogue box find startup tab, find KHALMNPR (if you using logitec mouse) and uncheck it
click ok and restart
or try to do clean boot to eliminate 3rd party SW issue

Horizontal scrolling doesn't work with ItemsStackPanel in ListView(GridView)

Hi,
In Win 8.1 App Store Project I have a ListView with fixed width and listen for ContainerContentChanging event because of performance issues.
When ListView width is less than content width, horizontal scrolling doesn't work. If we change ItemsStackPanel to VirtualizingStackPanel, horizontal scrolling works fine. But ContainerContentChanging doesn't work with VirtualizingStackPanel.
Is it possible to make horizontal scrolling work with ItemsStackPanel?
Here simple example to reproduce this problem:

Horizontal scroll doesn't work.

I have recently updated to the Firefox 5. After update my A4Tech X6 mouse horizontal scroll doesn't work in Firefox, but at the same time it works fine in other applications. I had no such problems with scrolling in Firefox 3.6.*. Please help me.

sticksen,
I'm glad that it is user specific. Now I only know of one file you are going to need to remove to fix this problem, but keep in mind some basic setting in other programs are going to be rest by the removal of this file, you will just have to change them back when you run across them. Example in My Mail program I had to turn of the show thread feature again.
Ok here is what you have to due in order to delete the file. First off close all running programs including (System Preferences) but excluding (Safari). you will be perfectly fine having it running. The file is a hidden file so you need to show the hidden files on your computer to do so open (Terminal) and type in exactly as follows:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
Hit return and then follow it by typing:
killall Finder
Hit return finder will reset and all you hidden files with show, after which Open finder and go into (Your User Name)/(Library)/(Preferences) and find the file named (.GlobalPreferenes.plist) and Delete it. Don't do anything after you delete this file just log out. Now log back in open Terminal and type exactly as follows:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Now test to see if you can scroll horizontally. And just for your comfort I did this myself after disabling the Horizontal scroll and it toggles it back on. (I have a white macbook not the new unibody macbook).
Do note that Mac keeps all settings files in (.plist)s and by removing them in your user folder will not harm your computer or the stability of your mac. These files are there just to hold settings files so that your experience can be the most pleasing for you.
Hope that helps.

Magic Mouse two finger swipe (forward/back) not working with Opera 10.

Magic Mouse left and right two finger swipe (forward and back) works great with Safari, Firefox, and Camino.
I enjoy using Opera 10 and noticed that the two finger swipe does not function with Opera. Any ideas on why or what adjustments I can make to get it to work?

No workaround so far with this problem and also no posts in the Opera forums. Just have to wait until Opera includes this functionality in their next release.
In the meantime you can help by joining the forum (takes a minute) and posting your concern. The more people that join and voice their complaint the faster something will get coded into their browser.

The touchpad scroll doesn't work in visual studio?

Hello,
As I mentioned in the title, the touchpad scroll doesn't work or affect visual studio community. The scrolling works very well with other software but it doesn't with visual studio community. This same button worked with VS 2010, VS 2012 (It stopped sometimes
but still functioning correctly most of the time), and stopped with 2013 versions. Why?
Take a look at the video to see the problem in action: http://youtu.be/Qt20pM6ZQAo
Thank you for your comments!

Scroll button on what? Are you using a mouse with a scroll wheel, or is this a laptop touch pad?
If the latter, please read here:

Lexmark scanner doesn't work with mac os x

I have a problem with my scanner lexmark p4330. For two weeks now it doesn't work with my imac. I have the imac os x 10.7.5.
When I try to scan, my printer displays "the all in one driver did not respond" and in Image Capture it displays "lexmark language error".
I updated my softwares, there's one for lexmark but I can't install it and I don't know why!
Can someone help me please?

Mmm. Not sure what's going on. Has scanning ever worked with the OS you are currently running?
A couple of suggestions (my last two I think as I'm running out of ideas ). I realise that your problems are only with scanning, but sometimes resetting the printing system resloves printing problems. I wonder whether it will help with the scanning issue given that Print & Scan are lumped together in System Preferences. To do it go to:
System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on the printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again using the '+' button.
If that doesn't help my last suggestion is to download the paid for app VueScan (which you can run in demo mode for free) to see whether it works or not. VueScan is very good and driving numerous types of scanners:

So I just burned a Data DVD (files like music and mac applications) on Windows, using Nero Express, but then I mount it on my Powermac G5 PPC and it doesn't work, my mac doesn't recognize it, what's the problem ?

IPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?

[BUG]: MakeWritable doesn't work for mac

I'm trying to use oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.MakeWritableHelper in my plugin, and I found it doesn't work for MAC. The byte code shows it only check the osname for "Windows" and "Linux".
and some Jdeveloper refactoring feature failed due to can't make file writable, they may also related to this class.

My MAC version is OSX 10.5.4.
I don't have a stacktrace. It just fails silently.
You can easily reproduce this bug by reformat a readonly file.
Here is the code I reverse engineered from oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.Util.java:
public static boolean setReadOnly(java.net.URL url, boolean readOnly)
boolean ret = false;
java.lang.String cmdarray[] = null;
java.lang.String platformPathName = oracle.ide.net.URLFileSystem.getPlatformPathName(url);
java.lang.String osName = java.lang.System.getProperty("os.name", "");
if(osName.startsWith("Windows"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"ATTRIB", readOnly ? "+R" : "-R", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
else
if(platformPathName.equalsIgnoreCase("Linux"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"chmod", readOnly ? "u-w" : "u+w", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
if(cmdarray != null)
java.lang.Runtime runtime = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
try
java.lang.Process process = runtime.exec(cmdarray);
if(process.waitFor() == 0)
ret = (new File(platformPathName)).canWrite();
if(ret)
oracle.ide.model.Node node = oracle.ide.model.NodeFactory.find(url);
if(node instanceof oracle.ide.model.TextNode)
oracle.ide.model.TextNode textNode = (oracle.ide.model.TextNode)node;
textNode.isReadOnly();
catch(java.io.IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return ret;
}
