What does the scroll bar do?

When scrollng a Safari page using my fingers, on my new iPad(3), the scroll bar on the right shows up. However, I do not seem to be able to "grab" it and use it.
How do I use that scroll bar to move up and down a page rapidly?

Are you saying there is no fast way to go to the bottom or back to the top? That the scrollbar is just for show?
I have some webpages that are very long and it still takes a dozen or more flicks to get to the bottom.
I am not impressed.

What does the bookmark bar do? How does it work?

You can use the bookmarks bar in Safari to have links to some sites permanently shown at the top of the screen below the address field and icons - so you just have to tap the link on the bar to go to that site as opposed to tapping the bookmarks icon and finding the link in there. So it's just a slightly quicker way to go some of your more regularly used sites

The scroll bar is hidden by default. You can re-enable it in System Preferences > General > Select Always show Scroll bar.

What does the spotlight bar in my podcast page do ?

Hi,
In my iWeb podcast page, there is a spotlight bar. At first I thought it was for searching words or something in the podcasts, but it leads to a page with no results "powered by .mac" .
What does it really do ?
Sincerly.

My website is posted in mobileme but my searches always lead to "no results". Are you talking about the blog or the podcast pages ?

What does the progress bar mean?

I have just started using TM after installing Leopard a few weeks ago. My plan is to continue to use Super Duper to do a weekly, bootable backup, but to use TM for essentially data backup. With that in mind, I have excluded system files, applications, and other partitions on the backup drive, figuring that the actual amount of data to be backed up will be relatively small.
On it initial backup the progress bar showed 30 GB possible and when the progress bar showed 10 GB, which was far more than I had anticipated, I stopped it, thinking that I needed to fine tune what I was excluding. When I look at the file, backups.backupdb, I see that it's right around 2 GB right now.
This leads me to believe that the progress bar on the initial run is only indicating how much of the data has been evaluated not necessarily how much has been backed up. Can someone confirm this or set me straight on just what the progress bar is telling me?
-Bill

One of the things I noticed is that I had indeed left out one of the partitions on the very drive that I am using as the TM backup. I know that TM won't backup its own backup, but I don't think it can identify other partitions on the same drive. The partition in question actually contains the SuperDuper backup, something I don't need on TM. I did go back and exclude it and the calculated backup dropped from 30 GB to 20 GB, which is still way in excess of what I am actually wanting to back up.
Given what you have said about potentially damaging the backup, perhaps I need to start over. How would I go about doing this, just delete the existing backupdb file? Then go in and rework the excluded files and really narrow things down. This does seem, however, to defeat the process somewhat, the idea of just let it do its thing.
Since my photos and music are already kept on an external drive, on the same partition, in fact, that I will be keeping the TM backup, those are files which do not come into the TM picture. Actually the more I think about this the more dicey it is becoming.
What I have been doing up until now is doing a weekly SuperDuper backup and copying my Documents folder separately. I have five folders, representing up to five weeks in a month and would copy the Documents folder into week one the first week of the month and so on throughout the month. Then next month I would overlay week by week what I had done before. That assured me that I would always have one month of Documents should I restore a SuperDuper backup beyond what was in the Documents folder on that particular SD version.
What I am wanting to do is essentially the same thing except use TM to backup the Documents folder. Perhaps that's a too narrowly defined and too difficult to implement use of TM. Perhaps I have to rethink this. Comments?

What happened to the scroll bars?

Apple has gone and made yet another infuriating change to one of their crucial applications, i.e., Finder. They have changed it so that you do not see the scroll bar at the right edge except when you first open the window or move the right edge, or scroll with the mouse. Then and only then do you even see the scroll bar. The did the same thing with the Preview, and here it is perfectly obvious that this is a really dumb idea. You have a vertical colum of icons on the left, and a picture on the right. If you set your mouse scrolling to work well for one, it does not work at all well for the other. This is a fact. Reliance on the scroll wheel just doesn't work. They perhaps thought that everyone should be using their mice with touch sensitive surface. Perhaps there isn't a problem in that case, but it isn't an excuse, because not everyon likes the Apple mice. I don't like them at all. One of them has sharp edges, and there is something else wrong with the other one. I use only generic mice, and see no reason not to. AND, I am incensed at them once again for doing something that is just plain idiotic. I reiterate: it is just plain idiotic for them to have done this, and this is exactly the sort of thing that Apple does as a matter of recourse. They have got the idea in their collective mind that their purpose in life is to dictate to everyone else how to interact with a computer. It is an extraordinary degree of hubris, far beyond what I can tolerate. APPLE, PUT THE DAMNED SCROLL BARS BACK, YOU HORSE'S A$$ES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Open General preferences in System Preferences. You can set the desired scrollbar behavior there.

What happens when the scroll bar moves to the bottom by itself?

When I am browsing, the scroll bar moves downward all of sudden to the bottom of the arrow. When you click on the scroll bar to move the page back to the top, it automatically moves back the scroll bar back to the bottom of the page. I have tried reloading the page, going forwards and backwards, and refreshing the page but it still does this problem. The only way to fix this problem is you have to close Firefox and reopen the browser. Is there a solution?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

iMac G5 - you are at the end of the line, though you may be able to upgrade your RAM, or hard drive.
iMac CoreSolo, CoreDuo - you can upgrade to 1 GB of RAM or 2 GB of RAM and get up to 10.6.8.
iMac Core2Duo - you can upgrade to 2 GB of RAM or more and get up to 10.7.2.
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine which Mac model you have.
Here's what you have to watch out for on 10.6 to 10.6.8.
Here's what you need to watch out for on 10.7 to 10.7.2.
Some stores may not have 10.6 installer CD available, or may not have 10.7 Flash drive available. For those you have to make the purchase from elsewhere,
and bring it in to the store with you. http://www.apple.com/retail has phone numbers for all their stores, and extension 5 often will get you a real person at the store, though if yuo don't get it, you might try a different extension.

What errors are indicated by the pink color on the scroll bar?

Here are the settings for the scroll bar:
Here is the scroll bar full of pink marks meaning the file is full of such errors:
Unfortunately, I can't figure out what they are. Could anyone offer a tip on this?
BTW, the project builds and runs fine without any problem.

Hi Hong,
Which VS2013 version did you use?
So you mean that your project code doesn't have any error, but you still get the annotations, am I right?
If so, how about creating a simple app? For example, make sure that it has an error in code, how about the result?
I test it in my side with VS2013, it works well like the following screen shot.
Anyway, we have to make sure that whether all projects have the same issue, if all projects have the same issue, I doubt that it is your VS IDE issue.
Please disable all add-ins, and then reset your VS, re-disable some settings under Tools->Options->Text Editor, close VS, re-open it, test it again.
But if just one specific project has this issue, sorry for that we couldn't repro this issue, maybe you could share us a simple sample, I will test it in my side. For detailed error messages, I suggest you view the Error list window or the Output window.
Best Regards,
Jack

Does anyone else find the scroll bars too narrow.

Does anyone else find the scroll bars too narrow? I have to select them several times. Otherwise, I love OS X Lion

We NEED Snow-Leopard Width Scroll Bars ( and Arrows too )
Correction YOU need. I am glad to see them gone. Forgotten all about them, so please don't speak for everyone.
So Lion is still Broken… and Mountain Lion does not seem the fix the issue either…
Lion is not broken, you are simply having a lot of trouble adjusting to it and trying to forget your old habits. Lion is fine. And Mountain Lion not applying the 'fix' you believe is required does not bode well for your future usage and thus reverting to Snow Leopard may be your only hope of regaining these outdated features.

What is the "Other" category on the scroll bar when syncing?

When I sync my 3G, the scroll bar indicates and "Other" category using 1.9 GB of my 8GB phone. What is this category and how can I minimize it's size?

It is normal to hav 200 - 800 mb of other ( contacts, favorites, voicemail, recents, etc).
If you have much more than this it indicates a corrupt file. A restore should resolve.

What happened to the Scroll Bars in Adobe Reader 11.0.09

The help file (such as it is) says "Use the vertical scroll bars to move up and down the pages or the horizontal scroll bars to move across the page." BUT THERE AREN'T ANY SCROLL BARS. I have gone all through the menus and cannot find any way to display the scroll bars. They always used to be there when the page extended beyond the screen, but now they are gone. The alternative of trying to use the hand tool to grab and drag a page is awkward at best.
