Window scrolling reversed in Lion.  Why?

Window scrolling reversed in Lion.  Why?  I find it rather frustrating having been scrolling in the other direction for so many years.  Can this be corrected or changed in some way?  Is there a preference setting I can choose to make this change?

For some other things you may stumble over, see:  Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard.

  • After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
    much smaller then than they are now.
    The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
    fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
    Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
    Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
    I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.

  • I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

    I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

    If they are all PPC-only applications, then yes. CS2 is incompatible with Intel machines. Not knowing how old your iMovie version is, but if it goes back to the same time period then it won't work either until you upgrade all the old software to Intel or Universal binaries from the respective developers.
    You can revert back as follows. Erase the drive and restore your Snow Leopard backup or:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu.
    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. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Are there any apps that make it now possible to scroll with Mountain Lion ?

    I just gave up on a project that required me to be able to scroll through a Senate bill. I'll probably go back, but it just shouldn't be so difficult, so painful. and I'm not talking about the bill's language. No, it's just Apple's decision to do away with the USEABLE search arrows that existed before Mountain Lion, and, yes, I know that you can use the little up and down triangles--sometimes--for this purpose.  I have written to Apple about this on more than one occasion, but I never felt that this would do any good. Anyway, I came here to see if anyone knows of an app that has been developed to overcome this strange, almost malicious, behavior of Apple's. Are there any apps I can use on my iMac for scrolling? If not why not? I know I have a lot of company in my disgust with Apple's behavior, so I have to there is some prohibitively difficult problem that makes such a fix impossible. Is that the reason why no one has come to the rescue of Apple's suffering customers?

    For very long documents in PDF or on a web page, I just lean on the space bar for big jumps (Shift-spacebar goes up), or on the down arrow keys for short scrolling. If I'm on my laptop, the trackpad provides both large jumps and fine control. If I'm on my desktop, I love my scroll wheel mouse.
    In apps like Word, you can't scroll with the spacebar because you need it to type spaces, so I just use the Page Up/Page Down keys. On short Mac keyboards you press Fn+Up Arrow or Fn+Down Arrow to page up/down.
    There are so many more and better ways to scroll now compared to the 1980s when the only way was to click-click-click over and over again on stupid scroll arrows. If it stopped scrolling it meant you had to re-aim the mouse because the mouse slipped a little and the arrow is no longer hitting the arrow. If you wanted to scroll up, you had to move the mouse quite a ways because the arrows were on opposite ends of the bar. Scroll arrows were the worst and least efficient way to scroll and I don't miss them at all.
    I'm glad we have so many superior alternatives now where, unlike scroll arrows, you don't even have to look at the screen to scroll quickly and accurately. Today, the only good use for a scroll bar is to tell you how far you are through the document.

  • Can't connect Windows 7/XP to Lion network shares.

    Just updated my primary system to Lion, and can't get any of my Windows clients to authenticate to the network shares.  I can connect Lion to Lion (AFP), Lion to Windows 7/XP (SMB), but not Windows 7/XP to Lion (SMB).  Everything was working fine under Snow Leopard, and I have tried everything I can think of to get it working.  Windows sees the Lion system, just doesn't authenticate the user account when I try to connect using either machine name or ip address.

    That's dumb, there is already a registry DWORD named LmCompatability level with a value of 1!  I get this all the time... none of you, and I mean none of you really knows why Win 7 cannot connect to Win server 2000!  It could be patches, updates,
    or maybe one day it just decides to work!   It's just like the other posts on how to set up VPN... ha!  They leave out the most important part... you have to call your ISP and get a static IP address issued!  For example, you have to call
    Charter or Comcast and get a static IP.  They go through all the nice stuff in the server side and show how to set up VPN but they never start out with, "First of all you need to get a static IP address otherwise it won't work, or you also should get
    a VPN router with firewall or you system will be wide open.... and etc....."
    I was fighting with my win7 to connect to my server 2003, and you know what?  I don't even know what I did!  It just started to connect after I loaded a bunch of updates!  ... and after I find out that also have to sign with the Admin password
    NOT just make up a name in Active Directory and try signing in with that one...doesn't work.... have to sign in with the Admin password...
    Anyone who has ever tried to sign in with Win 7 to an older server should know this stuff!  Most of you sound like you never even tried to connect win 7 to a server, but your taking a crack at answering the post in this thread anyways...!  #fail!
    Some of you people either are lousy teachers or you don't know, but you have the urge to give out erroneous info!!  What are you, 16?  8?

  • Scroll bars in Lion

    How do I adjust the scroll bars in Lion?  I want the scroll bars to be visible always, and wide (like they were in previous operating systems).
    In Lion, when I open a file, the scroll bar is invisible.  To get the scroll bar to appear, I have to stab blindly for the thing, until I get lucky and hit it.  Then, when the scroll bar does appear, it is excruciatingly narrow, and I have to really focus all of my mental powers in order to hit the darn thing.

    Thanks!
    I found the setting for "Show Scroll Bars."  However, I can't find the setting for the scroll-bar width.  How do I adjust scroll-bar width?

  • Windows 8 can not connect RemoteApp on W2K12 RDS, but Windows 7 can connect. Why?

    Hi!
    Windows 8 can not connect RemoteApp (W2K12 RDS), but Windows 7 can connect. Why?
    External and internal DNS name is different, the public Cert is mapped to RD Web Access and a RD GateWay Role.
    The internal cert (issued by enterprise ca) is mapped to RD Connection Broker roles (SSO and Publishing).
    These certifications also be installed on client computers (Personal and Trusted Root Certification Authorities).
    The internal CA revocation list is publicated to a website and this web site is accessible from internet. Ports (3389,3391,443) forwarded to RDS server.
    On windows 7 everything works fine, but Windows 8 can not connect to Remote Apps. Windows 8 can connect to RDS server via Remote Desktop Connection.
    The error:

  • WIndow scrolling and refresh issues.

    I am having problems with intermittent window scrolling and refreshing. I noticed it first in Safari but I have confirmed it is happening in other applications as well. Typically I have no problems with window scrolling and refreshing. At times however, it becomes sluggish. For instance, I will be reading a web page and attempt to scroll down and the there will be a delay of approximately one or two seconds before the window updates. This occurs whether I am using the keyboard, trackpad or mouse to scroll. There is no video tearing or graphics artifacts, just a delay followed by an updated window. During this time, moving windows also results in a delay of one or two seconds. Again, there is no tearing or artifacts, the window just appears in it's new positioning seconds later. This unfortunately makes the system near unusable as I can not accurately scroll or position. The problem occurs whether or not I have a significant number of applications and the CPU and memory usage is not abnormal. Restarting solves the problem temporarily but it still returns. Oddly, activating show desktop or show all windows via Expose eliminates the problem for some time as well until it returns later. My system is up to date with 10.5.6.
    Seems like a problem with WindowServer. Has anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

    Did you ever get an answer to your window scrolling issue. My new PowerMac seems to always have this issue now. (I just moved to the Intel platform from the G4.) Thanks for any help you can give.

  • Collapse Element on Window Scroll event?

    Hi
    I am trying to implement a functionality wherein:
    I have  a page with multiple panels. I have made the panels expand and collapse enabled.
    When I scroll my page, I would like to be able to collapse the panel, which goes out of scope.
    I tried to apply the logic of reducing the height of the panel for doing this. However, since it needs window.scrollTop to generate the condition to collapse or expand the pane, based on the position of the scroll, it is impossible at the moment.
    I found that we cannot use the window.scrollTop() functionality on SAPUI5 controls. It always ends up gving a 0 value.
    Is there any other way to implement this?
    Can someone please guide me on this??
    Here is an example of what I am trying to achieve in SAPUI5. Please help!
    Edit fiddle - JSFiddle

    Hi Anaya,
    Window.Scroll() will not work. Content in the SAPUI5 application are not directly added to body part.
    In SAPUI5 we have App view which contains Header and Section.
    The page content goes to Section. The CSS property overflow-y of Section is set to auto. so the scroll bar appears at the right side of window is the scroll bar of Section.
    Use,
    $('#id_of_section').scroll(function(){
             alert("Scrolling Happend");  
    It will get the scrolling event. Here you can set the Collapsed true for your panel.
    Regards,

  • Windows 7 and Mac Lion partition maps don't match

    I recently upgraded the hard drive in my late 2008 Macbook, and I wanted to copy both my Windows 7 and OSX Lion partitions. I used Time Machine to back up my Lion partition and Windows Backup to back up 7. Then I switched the hard drives, restored Lion with no problem, partitioned the drive into two bigger parts than were on the old harddrive, and restored 7. My problem is this; Disk Utility in Lion shows the correct partition sizes (420 GB for Lion, 480ish for 7), but the Windows 7 Disk Management shows the old partition size (150ish for Lion, 160ish for 7). The rest is just shown as free space. I've tried using the "extend file system into free space" option in Windows 7's Disk Management, but that overwrites most of Lion's data (since Disk Management thinks that its free space). My question is how do I get the partition maps to sync up? I have rEFIt, but when I tell it to sync partition tables, Windows 7 crashes and won't start without a reboot. I'm starting to hate Windows 7...

    From your posts I assume that you have 3 drives:
    drive A - new internal with MacOSX and Boot Camp/Windows partitions.
    drive B - the original internal with MacOSX and Boot Camp/Windows partitions.
    Back up external drive(s) with TimeMachine  and Windows Backup.
    Forget the Backup Drive(s) for now.
    You will need a way to connect the original drive to the Mac via USB . If it is not in an enclosure then one of these connectors will do the job.

    http://www.granitedigital.com/usb20tosataideharddrivebridgeadapter.aspx
    I think you will need to use Winclone as Paragon is a windows startup application and I don't dee how you can do that unless you reinstall the original drive B (can't start Windows from an external drive). There is a Paragon recovery CD you can burn but I don't know what the limitations are with burning from the Mac. Maybe check with the company.
    Since drive-A has a good mac OSX install you need to clone the Boot Camp/Windows partition from the original drive-B to new drive-A. You should start up from drive-A and connect drive-B. Use Winclone to replace the drive-A Boot Camp partition with the original drive-B Boot Camp partition.
    If the Paragon recovery cd will work then you start from this disk and clone the original drive-B Boot Camp Partition to the new drive-A Boot Camp Partition.

  • Not to display window scroll bar on the layout

    Regards,

    hi,
    sctroll bar in window can't be controlled if your layout is broader so you will need to make your layout such that it fits in the o/p window.
