"Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" is broken

Hello,
Since updating to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion this morning, the "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" feature is broken.
In the mouse control panel the checkbox for "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" is definitely checked. The default Control ^ key is selected. I verified I'm hitting the correct key on the keyboard using the keyboard viewer.
I've tried using this with 2 finger scrolling on my trackpack as well. I've also tried turning off most of the trackpack geustures.
I tried searching these forums prior to posting and found replies telling people with various different situations to turn this feature off. I want it on. I use it constantly.
I have a MacBook Pro Aluminum 13-Inch Mid 2010
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
Any advise would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Hello. Original poster here. I can confirm a few things after observing for a few days and trying stuff.
1) The Universal access fixes did nothing. I set & reset those settings til I was blue in the face.
2) I tried a "Repair Permissions" with the Disk Utility. No luck.
3) It works intermitently. After sleeping sometimes it works. After plugging into my external monitor sometimes it works on the external monitor but then if I unplug it won't work again. After a reboot somtimes it works, then after sleeping stops working. Kinda strange. When it works it works from both my external USB mouse and the trackpad, so I don't think it's the hardware.
I don't have Time Machine configured - been using Carbonite, but they're not compatible with Lion so might have to get Time Machine running anyway - but it's not a fix per se, since this oughta work all the time.

Zoom:Use Scroll wheel with Modifier Keys to Zoom

Help! Since the 10.6 update from 10.4.11, I can no longer zoom in and out by holding Command while moving scroll ring on my Kensington Expert Mouse. I have tried other modifier keys to no avail.
I suspect a conflict, but do not know where to fix it. When in Firefox 3.5.2., Command plus scroll ring zooms the active window nicely. Any ideas or should I provide feedback to Apple or both? Thanks! DJ

The default key for scrolling zoom is not Command but Control. To change this, go to System Preferences —> Universal Access and click on the Seeing tab. In the Zoom pane, click on the Options button, and in the sheet that drops down, select the text box at the bottom, highlight the character there, then press the modifier key you prefer.

Safari crash in Acrord32 when use scroll wheel while PDF loading

Whenever I download a PDF (in browser), Safari 4 crashes in Acrord32 if I use the scroll wheel on my mouse while the PDF is still loading.
This seems to often happen to me as I impatiently want to start browsing the PDF without waiting for it to finish loading completely.
This happens for me on two completely different systems - one XP, one Vista.
Using latest version of Acrobat Reader (9), and in both 4 and 4.02 of Safari for Windows.
Mostly I get a "this program needs to close" type message from Windows, and clicking on details show Acrord32 as the problem. However sometimes Safari just freezes using 95% CPU, or occasionally the program just disappears.
Anyone else seen this behaviour?

Yes, I see it too with the same exact combination of Safari and Adobe Reader.

Photoshop 5 choppy during zoom with scroll wheel

So after a agonizing weekend of talking to Adobe suport to get photoshop installed because they sent me the wrong version and horrible customer service (thanks adobe), I finally get to start using photoshop and it's just buggy as heck. Wierd jerky motions and a lot of spinning wheels. I have a macbook pro early 2010 3.06 processor with 6gb of ram on os x 10.6.8.
Well the photoshop is choppy and horrible when using the scroll wheel to zoom. I opened the same document in CS4 and it was fine smoothly scrolling in and out as slow or fast as I wanted. CS5 is jerky zooming 20% every time I move my finger on the mouse. It is driving me crazy!@!
I adjusted all of the openGL setting, memory, etc, etc and nothing helps. I can't imagine that photoshop would be worse when it is supposidly an "upgrade", but I'm so pissed off that I might just go back ot CS4 until I get this figured out.
Another Adobe product that is buggy as heck, but this has been around for almost a year, so please tell me how to fix it. Is there an update i don't kow about or SOMETHING?!?!
I did a search, but when i foudn someone with the same issue, it was not answered...
Adobe, you need to make better products.

It's not performance, it's a missing feature and adjustments (if I can get it to work right) I need to have the selection tool active and be able to zoom wiht the scroll wheel! (even if the srolling is choppy) I need it to zoom in and out, with the scroll wheel, while the select tool is active!
The scrubby zoom is smooth and it's nice, but the choppy scroll wheel zoom and no zoom when the select tool is active are deal breakers for this software! You guys try to cram as much stuff in the program as possible, but if you take things away, it pissed people off. If there is a way to to scroll zoom on while i have the select tool down, then tell me.

Bug: scrolling with mouse scroll wheel while dragging tracks no longer works

After upgrading to Spotify for Mac 1.0.2.6, I can no longer use my mouse's scroll wheel while dragging tracks to a different position in a playlist. This is an important feature when working with long playlists. Steps to reproduce:Create a playlist that extends past the bottom of the windowClick and begin dragging the first song on the playlist downwardUse your mouse's scroll wheel to scroll the playlist down. It will not scroll.

Hey ,
Thanks for letting us know.
We don't have any update on this yet and we'll pass the information on to the right team.
We'll keep you posted.

Zooming using mouse wheel ?

I just upgraded from PSE 5 to 9. One of the handy functions in PSE 5 was the use of the mouse wheel to zoom in or out of a picture that you're working on in the editing work space. Now it seems I have to use the brackets or the awkward zoom tool.
Is there a way I can activate/modify something so I can zoom with the mouse wheel? Thanks.
Also, the type on the pulldown menus is harder to read than in PSE 5 because the type is small and it's revered out of black. I'm going to explore the workspace in PSE 8. Maybe I upgraded too far.

Open a photo in "Full Photo Edit" mode.
Select Edit>Preferenes>General. Check the box that says "Zoom with Scroll Wheel".

Zoom with scroll wheel?

The zooming with scroll wheel feature stopped working after I installed MAC OS X 10.6. Anyone have a suggestion about how to get that feature working again? Thanks.

Okay...did that too. We'll see. I appreciate your help.
Having a major printing problem though. Looks like I am going to be doing a lot of testing soon because the presents for my Canon iP6700D don't work like they did two days ago. Canon has a new driver which I believe is the problem. Maybe I can get back to the other one that worked like a charm. -- Sandy

Use scroll wheel to zoom on Mac OSX?

Hi,
I have recently switched to a Macbook from Windows. On Windows (if I remember correctly) you could zoom in and out by pressing "Control" and the using the scroll wheel on the mouse. It seems this is not working on the Macbook. Is there a way to enable this? I know you can use the pinch gestures on the track pad but I much prefer the scroll wheel.

If you mean by clicking on the arrow, bringing up the actual slider. No, that doesn't work. I've tried clicking various parts of the slider itself to no avail.
Have tried on numerous different adjustments, labels, filters in case that it only works on some.

Using scroll wheel to zoom timeline

I would like to do zooming with the scroll wheel, rather than taking my hand off the mouse to do CMD+/- or having to move my pointer away from the timeline and use the scroll widget at the bottom of the screen. Can someone tell me if there's any way to assign zooming to the scroll wheel?

I don't know about a scroll wheel, and maybe this is not what you expected to hear, but you should try a trackpad. Zooming in and out, moving the timeline left or right, and more, are so easily done with gestures that are common to most mac applications. The trackpad in mac laptops, and the Magic Trackpad, are to me far more effective and ergonomic than any mouse.
Edit: Oh - and you already have it! (your profile says Macbook Air...)

Illustrator CC 17.1 Alt + Scroll Wheel seems laggy and broken

I upgraded to illustrator CC 17.1 Yesterday and the scroll wheel zoom seems completely broken.
Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing this? It is a huge issue as I use this a lot during the day.
Is there anytime line for a fix if that has been noticed? Also is there a way to roll back my upgrade?
Thanks

If you are facing issues with zooming or scrolling, please refer to the knowledgebase article:

Increments Of 100 With Grad Filter and Adj Brush Using Scroll Wheel and Arrows

For Vista 64 bit and Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT driver version 7.15.11.6960,
both the graduated filter and adjustment brush change at increments of 100 or 200 using the scroll wheel or arrows for everything except exposure. Brightness goes from -200 to 0 to 200 while the others go from -100 to 0 to 100.

Seen that as well. Keyboard focus has been an issue for me on Vista x64 OS for quite sometime.Sometimes the arrows don't move in even increments on all the sliders for various adjustments.
In this case the arrow keys move either side of 0 to the maximum exent of the range. In this case brightness has a range of + or - 200 while the other sliders move = or - 100

Did you enable scroll wheel zooming in the PSE preferences?

XFCE's mixer plugin stops at 90% when using scroll wheel over icon

Yeah, title says it. By putting the cursor over the icon and using the scroll wheel, the volume goes up to 90%. But when I open the mixer and drag the master slider, it goes to 100%. How do I fix this?

Had the same Problem, was really annoying me. Probably a baaad baad bad workaround:
in src/xfce4-mixer-4.6.0/panel-plugin (ABS / xfce4-mixer)
changed xfce-volume-button.c, line 204 & 205:
/* Create adjustment for the button (from 0.0 to 1.0 in 5% steps) */
button->adjustment = gtk_adjustment_new (0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.05, 0.05, 0.1);
to
/* Create adjustment for the button (from 0.0 to 1.0 in 5% steps) */
button->adjustment = gtk_adjustment_new (0.0, 0.0, 1.1, 0.05, 0.05, 0.1);
rebuild, done.
I've been searching for a while for the real problem, but I'm no programmer. Looks as if somewhere someone perhaps startet counting at 1% instead of 0% or something, but I've got no idea where.
(useless EDIT: Seems as if someone already fixed it in the newest version available in ABS since I changed it on my machine. Wait, trying...
EDIT: Nope, still only works up to 90% in current ABS version I think - might have just forgotten to re-extract the source of the panel after update. Redoing the "bad fix" got it to 100% again though.)

Can't Use Scroll Wheel to Turn Pages

How do I get iBooks to use the scroll wheel on my Logitech mouse to turn pages in iBooks. Seems like it should be an option but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. It's getting frustrating.

So, after 24 hours there are still no responses so I'm going to say that the answer to my question is: "No, you cannot use the scroll wheel on your mouse to navigate in iBooks for the Mac." I'm picking this as the best answer and will be sending feedback to Apple about this issue. At least now when someone does a web search on this, they'll have an answer.
Go to this link and send feedback to Apple if you'd like this odd behavior changed:

Scrolling using Scroll Wheel in Adobe Illustrator

In Adobe Illustrator CS5 I was able to scroll left and right in a document by holding Command and moving the scroll wheel on my mouse. In CS6 I find that holding Command does not toggle the scrolling direction as it had previously done. Holding shift will allow me to scroll horizontally, but moves a whole page at a time instead of giving me the fine-grained control I had before. Is this a bug on my system or is there a reason this behavior was changed? This YouTube tutorial leads me to believe scrolling in CS6 is supposed to work just like it did in CS5.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Er, your point being?
Seems you have a lot to learn.
