Before I installed the Logitech software, it was perfect. But without the Logitech software, the other buttons didn't work.
After installing the software, I noticed the scrolling to be very very slow in Safari. Even after maxing out scroll speed in system pref. and the logitech soft, it's still slow!
Scrolling pages is jerky. It can't even keep up with my typing speed. When I am done writing a sentence, I wait and watch it type back to me. This list of websites that don't work completely correctly also is growing. These do not happen in Firefox...I hate to abandon Safari and lose all my bookmarks. What can I try to do?

Not really directly Mac related, but I seem to be having a problem with my mouse. It worked fine until a few days ago. Scrolling up on the wheel would work fine, then all of a sudden it would move up extremely slow, and it happens when the wheel is pressed into the click position and when its not.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThe MX is rechargeable, has side wheel, and automatically switches from precision scrolling to hyper-fast. On the other hand, the VX has a zoom slider (which I heard in an Amazon review can be programmed to do almost anything), is cheaper, and when the center button is clicked, it functions as a center click. I'm leaning towards the VX, mainly for the center click (which I love and use all the time when I'm on the internet). I've just got a couple of questions regarding assigning buttons different tasks.
1. Should I use Logitech software, USB overdrive, or Steermouse?
2. Can the search button on the mouse be assigned to perform a keystroke (such as Expose, Spaces, Dashboard, etc.)?
3. Was the Amazon review I mentioned earlier correct in that the zoom slider and the forward/back buttons on the VX be programmed to perform almost any task?
4. Can the buttons (on either mouse) be programmed for different tasks depending on the application?
5. Does the VX have a manual power button to turn it off, or do you have to put in the USB receiver?
I'm having an issue scrolling in all programs). Running 10.6.5, Late 2008 MBP (not uni-body). This happens when using two finger scroll or dragging the scroll bar down and up. Click (jump) to scroll is still fine.
It takes about 5-7 seconds to scroll down at all, it's like a little ripple slowly works its way down the screen. I tried shutting down programs, restarting, etc.
EDIT: Ok the click to scroll is now slow also. What gives?
Has anyone else experienced slow scrolling or jerky scrolling in Firefox 3.06? If so how did you fix it?

I was just looking at a long PDF file in preview and got off the computer for a bit. When I come back, the scrolling for some reason got extremely slow! I don't know what the heck happened. I have scrolling on the highest in system preferences and nothing helped. It takes very long just to get through a page. I know I could just use hyper scrolling, but it is still slow and only fast if I spin it all the way, which then goes all the way to the bottom of the page. What could be wrong?

I've read several reports from as much as a year and half ago about this issue, but haven't been able to find out whether its been resolved. Apple has a support doc from 2007 that describes the problem but offers no solution: (URL)
I'm running 10.5.2 ... and i've only seen the problem on macbook pros, but the apple support doc implies that it's an os x issue with ATI video cards.
While scrolling in Safari 4 the windows stutters or tears. I didn't have this problem with Safari 3, and I have reset Safari and cleared the Cache. I also get "Keychain Not Found" popping up when I load a new page. It IS out of beta right.

Btw both are updated to the current version. Could anyone else chime in if they have seen this problem or are currently experiencing this.
View 10 Replies View RelatedSince installing Safari 5, I encounter the spinning beach ball when I try to scroll down a webpage or scroll between tabs. It appears that I cannot scroll/switch until the webpage is fully loaded.
This is extremely annoying because when my gestures are finally registered, Safari goes wacko trying to catch up with the previous gestures/commands. For example, if I use a swipe gesture to navigate between tabs, when Safari becomes responsive again, it will register all previous swipes and rotate between tabs until it 'catches up'. I hope that makes sense.
When I use Firefox, there is a slight lag, but I'm still able to scroll with only slight choppiness. By contrast, Safari 5 literally freezes for about 5 seconds. As a benchmark, I tried using both browsers while loading [URL]. Firefox worked fine, Safari 5 was crippled.
Every time I scroll down in Safari using the blue bar, the window moves. Is this a problem with the trackpad settings (I have 13" MBP '09) or what?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn safari for macbook pro, I can't seem to highlight text while scrolling down through to the end of a page. (Start at the top, click, hold, drag down). The highlighting stops at the bottom of what I see on the screen and can't go past to the bottom of the page. However, it works going upwards (start at the bottom, click, hold, drag up. I don't think it's a problem with the computer because, the highlighting works with all my other programs. It's just safari that's not doing it. I'm aware of the hold shift and click method, but I'm just used to the other way.

Is there an option for smooth scrolling in Safari for Windows 7? It is very hard to on the eyes to see the text page jump around. Mac OS seems fine.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter realizing how much faster Safari is than Firefox at just about everything, I've decided to make the switch. However, along with mouse gestures, the thing that is really holding me back is that there doesn't seem to be auto-scrolling. The little icon that pops up when you press the middle mouse button and scrolls the page automatically. Is there really no auto-scroll or am I missing something?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAnyone know why my Safari takes up to 70% CPU when scrolling up and down webpages. Makes the whole computer super laggy!
Closed all webpages with Flash on them and the problem's still there.
Also tried resetting Safari and emptying it's cache. It made it faster for a few minutes, but then the slowness was back.
Can it be related to my hard drive (got almost no page-outs)?
I need put my cursor in the browser address bar for the site to finish loading and for the sculling to work. I've updated to the latest flash plugin. Problem seems to come and go. My 3 yr old is always pushing buttons on my keyboard so I thought he did something the browser settings.

I was wondering if there was a way to enable scroll button click scrolling in Safari 4 on Snow Leopard?
I'm sure there's a proper term for it, but what I mean is when you press down on the scroll wheel and a circle appears on screen with two arrows, when you move your mouse up or down it allows you to scroll through long documents quicker. I think Firefox and Internet Explorer have it.
I read that USB Overdrive might be of use, but it wont recognise my mouse (Logitech MX 620).
Ive updated safari to 8.01 this morning, and now when using safari, after a few minutes the multi gesture functions on my trackpad stop working. I can scroll down pages, flick across windows etc. even the accuracy of the cursor is limited (in editing this i tried to highlight some text to delete, but i had move about 10characters the left to get the ones i wanted).Â

With the Snow Leopard versions of Safari, scrolling downward (either with "page down", tapping the spacebar, or clicking in the scrolling area) and upward is done with a "sliding effect". That is to say, for lack of a better term, the page visibly "slides" upward or downward in the direction you scroll.
In _older versions_ of Safari (thinking back to OS 10.3.x and 10.4.x), scrolling was instantaneous. There was no "slide effect" Page Down or Page Up would instantly result in that part of the document being displayed.
I dislike the "sliding effects" -- for all that I can figure, they are included as a "visual treat", the same as the effects when a window is minimized to the dock. For me, however, it's "visual aggravation".
Is there any way to "turn the effects off" in Safari? I'll assume that if this is possible, it has to be done through Terminal...
it seems logitech has redone the old MX revolution and is calling it the Logitech Performance MX that features a micro adapter and uses double AA's batteries so no more rechargeable crap.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI own the MX 5500 cordless desktop keyboard/mice combo from Logitech, just wondering if anybody here in the forum who paired the MX Revolution Bluetooth with their Macs.
At first I intentionally bought the combo just so I can have the Bluetooth MX paired with my MBP, replacing the G5. There's a connection between the mouse and the laptop (as in I can use the mouse), but the many of the features and buttons on the MX has been disabled. My Search button won't even activate anything, and every other buttons other than the left and right click only triggers the scrolling.
Well, choosing between the Logitech mice (wow, what a brilliant company) has made me confused as to which models to buy. I'm looking for one for my Alu MacBook - leaning towards the Logitech VX Nano Also looking for one for a desktop - leaning towards MX Revolution, but I too wish it was in Bluetooth. But, you can get a Bluetooth one in a box deal, right? Is there any way to get it without the keyboard pricing? Is there any downside to Bluetooth? And would anyone recommend the VX Revolution over MX?
