Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear then disappear?

Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear but then disappear? When I open a window the scrollbar is sometimes there for a just few seconds. If I select it within a few seconds and use it everything works fine. If I don't use it, it disappears and I can't get it back. How do I get the scroll bar back? Why won't the scrollbar show up at all on web pages?

It's a feature which is supposed to enhance your interface with your Mac and its operating system on screen. It is a "visual aid" that is meant to remove on screen clutter.
You can go to 'system prefs/ click general/ click 'Show scroll "Always button"
There you go
Cheers

  • Why does the Apple logo appears and disappears when I'm the iphone 4?

    When I'm using iphone 4 the Apple logo appears and disappears and appears lock screen. What to do? It' s a bug or a hardware problem?

    Hi sarasalves,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If the Apple logo is flashing on your iPhone 4, you may need to put the iPhone in recovery mode so that you can restore it.  The article below explains how:

  • Why after uploading to FTP does the site page appear then disappear?

    Hello Everybody,
    I am an amateur when it comes to Muse but am capable of making minor text and image changes, saving as HTML, then uploading to my FTP server.  I have an accordion menu on my main page that I had previously made some changes to by adding content (text and a pic).  Last Friday I went in to make similar changes as I had before.  After I uploaded through Filezilla, I checked out my changes online and was confused by the result. 
    Basically the main page as it should look pops up for an instant then disappears.  In its place is just one of the boxes from the accordion menu (not all of them); in this case, it is our Twitter feed. 
    I don't know if I pressed something to make this menu come forward, or mask the rest of the site, but I'm having lots of trouble figuring it out.  Obviously the main site has not been deleted, but it is just being hidden somehow. 
    Any help with this issue would be much appreciated.  The website URL is www.prcclothing.com  Thank you!

    The problem is a combination of the twitter widget you're using and Muse's accordion widget.
    See this forum thread for a workaround:

    why does the word "icloud" appear in the title bar (next to all contacts arrow and edit button)?

    Do you know what iCloud is?  It's replacing MobileMe.  You must be syncing with iCloud, and those are the iCloud contacts.

    Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

    Hello ckuan. Thx for your reply.
    The songs are not from iTunes, they are from CDs that I had copied to my itunes library.
    It is worth mentioning that I wasn't facing this issue before IOS 5.

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • Why does a bar sometimes appear below the Firefox icon in my tray?

    Why does a thick bar appear under the Firefox icon in my tray. I cannot correlate its appearance to anything I'm doing online.

    Try to reinstall Firefox.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 32.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • As of noon today, when I try to access my Yahoo mail, the encrypted icon appears & then disappears showing the "partially encrypted" so can't sign in. .

    The "partially encrypted" icon is not orange (it is grey), however it is like the icon shown as "unencrypted" and when clicked on reflects the "partially encrypted message". I have spent hours trying to determine what the problem is. The "normal padlock" appears first (has always been grey), then immediately disappears and the triangle shaped icon is there. Any and all advice will be sincerely appreciated as I do not know if the site is secure or not (although it does show the "https" in the address.
    I have used Firefox for more years than I can recall, and never encountered a problem like this.

    In case the problem is an old style sheet or script, or an obsolete cookie setting, try clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Why does the scroll sometimes not work?

    I know this question has been posted before, but my problem is slightly different. I have synpatics touchpad with my laptop. Sometimes, the touchpad scrolling does not work, but my actual wireless mouse scrolling works. Sometimes my wireless mouse scrolling does not work, but my touchpad scrolling works. Why does this happen? The problem itself is not consistent.
    The scrolling usually stops suddenly. Scrolling works perfectly fine for a webpage, but then it stops working during the middle of my scrolling. This problem started to bug me.
    The problem still exists with Firefox reinstalled and without add-ons.

    Does this happen on another browser? (eg. Chrome, IE)

  • Why does the same genre appear multiple times in my iPhone 6 music library?

    I am currently running on iOS8. All software on my iPhone 6 is up to date. I have tried restarting with no change. There are many instances that I see online of people who are having this same problem, only it applies to specific music albums. Not an entire genre. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to fix this? My last ditch effort will probably be a factory reset.

    I have the same situation.  It seems to happen with the first two or three genre's.  Even manually created ones that I've made.  It also seems to be related to having a mixture of song's under that genre that are either uploaded  (from a CD) and downloaded from iTunes.
    I had one artist that all albums were upload from a CD except one.  If I add all the CD albums the genre only appears once.  As soon as I add the album from iTunes the genre appears twice.  And vice-versa.  The particular genre is one that I made, but it happens with predefined iTunes genre's as well.
    Please fix it apple.

    You may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
