I have to say that switching to Lion has not been the joy I was led to believe. One of the most annoying of the many annoying quirks of Lion is that the right hand Scroll Bar no longer has Up/Down arrows, just a stupid and hard to see gray bar of varying length, and controlling it is a nightmare. Does anyone know anything about how to add Up/Down arrows to the scroll bars? Is there some setting. Apple, if you're listening, please restore this essential function to your OS. The lack of Up/Down arrows in the scroll bar makes Lion more like an alley cat.

How do I restore scroll bar arrows in Lion? Â In my audio editing app I sometimes like to use the scroll bar arrows for small movement. For some reason, Lion no longer seems to offer scroll bar arrows.
Just got a new Mini with Mavericks. In setting it up I notice that applications like Preview and Safari, and probably others, do not have the scroll arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll bar. Is this something new with Mavericks, I've been using Snow Leopard for the past 5 years.
In the OS7 Mail Inbox window, along the top of the message section with from and date and subject, there is a little box with two opposing arrows. What is this for?
How can I scroll to the top of the Mail inbox with a shortcut? Instead of endless finger swishing or clicking and scrolling the scrollbar. Using a MBP.
For scrolling, the up and down arrows are missing in Mail on Lion... I don't like jumping a page at a time, and dragging the scroll button just jumps around too wildly. how to get them back?

I am viewing photos in Finder, and some of them have a big green check mark. What is this and how can I remove it. I know it must be something obvious but my looking around has not shown me the answer yet.
There used to be arrows on the side for me to scroll up and down. I'm workinig in Word 2008 with Lion. All the scroll bar has is the double arrows which will give you the "previous," or "next page."I don't want the next page, I want to be able to scroll line by line.I DO have a scroll bar, just not the single arrows that let you scroll line by line.I also don't want to move the curser by using the arrows because many time I want to keep my place.
I just had to have one. Got it at Best Buy yesterday for $75 including tax.Using a tablet really makes keyboards and mice seem primitive. The Bamboo Touch does two-finger multi-touch gestures, as well as single-finger.So far, I'm mainly using it on my Studio 540 with Sim City 4 Deluxe.
I'd like to utilize Ink on the OS X side of my life, but I need a pen. I know I can get one from Wacom for $30, but will that work with the Bamboo Touch?I noticed in Mail on SL, when I use a two-finger scroll, the list has simulated inertia and momentum, like in iPhone OS. Think it's a sign of a tablet?
Stopped working a couple of days ago. It will scroll up and I can click in the side bar and move up or down but not when I use the little ball on top of the mouse.
I'm using a wireless Mighty Mouse with a Mac Mini (the newest model) and am running 10.6.3.
The scroll wheel can scroll up just fine, but scrolling down, it literally only scrolls down a fraction of a pixel (if that's even possible) per finger flickr/scroll.
I opened the Mouse panel from System Preferences and adjusted the Scroll setting, but no luck.
Now i have OS LION, my mouse scrolls opposite to my old OS SL when i scroll up, screen pages go down... I can see why they did this, but I dont like it. How do i edit the mouse to scroll the old way, so down swipe means screen pages down, not some mirror image
I want to upgrade to Lion but need the functionality of the scroll bar arrows. I have learned that the functionality of the arrows is part of the core operating system and is not being replaced. any add-on devices that would allow this function?

I cannot scroll drop downs (I can click them, but I can't choose anything) or drag files or folders with the mouse or touch pad, but it works fine when I use my Wacom tablet.
I'd like to be able to hook a mouse up to Macbook Air and have it scroll properly, without breaking the scroll direction on its trackpad (or my magic pad). In other words, I want to disable "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling" for mice, and enable "Scroll direction: natural" for trackpads. These seem to be the same setting, though, as checking/unchecking one has the same effect on the other.Â
How can I do this, as I'd love to be able to easily switch to a mouse, without having to mentally reverse the direction of the scroll wheel.
I've a macbook pro 13" with Safari 5.2 on Lion 10.7.4 . When I use Reader, I can't scroll with two-finger multitouch and I need to click on the scrollbar.

Lion: there are sliders that allow us to scroll up and down a list in a column. the little arrows that were at the top or bottom of the scrolls ( in panther) that allowed slower, incremental, scrolling through lists are gone. Are they hidden or really gone? Also My itunes window is too long and I can't reach the bottom right corner to resize the window. what is the hidden trick to decrease the length of the window. Quitting and restarting hasn't done it...?
I use a Logitech M570 with my late 2009 Mac Mini and like to have my scroll set to the way scrolling should work with a scroll wheel and how it has work for year before Apple decided it was wrong. Well after I updated to 10.7.4 my mac now wants to reset the scroll to the new way Lion does it after every shutdown or restart and its starting to get really annoying.
