But also it's more in sync with how we use touch devices like the iPhone and the iPad. I recommend you don't do this though but get used to having the scroll bars working the Natural way because not only is it how all Macs work, so if you go to another Mac you'll be used to using scrolling that way. So you can turn off the Natural direction movement if you find that things are happening in reverse.
SCROLL REVERSER MAC SIERRA WINDOWS
The other way actually reverses it which seems odd to me now but for years and years both Mac and Windows kind of did the scroll bar in reverse direction to the natural way and a lot of us got used to it. Notice both had an option to change the scroll direction from Natural to the other way. If I go to the Trackpad and I go to Scroll & Zoom I can also see here a little animation of using two fingers to scroll up and down. If I move my cursor over Scroll Direction, it will show you a little animation over here of what it's like to scroll with a magic mouse. So in System Preferences under Mouse, for instance, it will show you. You control a lot of these options using System Preferences. If I move my cursor over to it, it enlarges and I can drag it just like a scroll bar in the past. There's no scroll bar on the right but if I use my mouse with one finger to swipe up and down or my trackpad with two fingers up and down I can see the scroll bar there. For instance, even in the Finder here, here's a Finder window with a list of files. Now this works the same way in other apps as well. So a little bit of scrolling and then you move over and now you can select it. So it doesn't get in the way when you don't need it and when you do need it does appear. So the scroll bars work just like they did before except now if I move away it will fade and go away again.
I can click below it to jump and above it to jump. Now I can use it like I could have used a scroll bar in years past. Now as soon as I stop it fades away.īut if while I'm scrolling I move my mouse over to that scroll bar it not only stays but it gets a little bit larger so I can click on it. But notice that when I did that the scroll bar appears on the right and as long as I keep scrolling up and down I'll see that scroll bar there. I don't even have to worry about the existence of the scroll bar. The same thing on the trackpad but with two fingers. From the top to the bottom to scroll down. I'm just swiping from the bottom to the top to scroll up. So I'm going to use on my magic mouse here one finger to scroll up. But you can use either the trackpad with two fingers or your mouse with one finger to scroll. Now there's no scroll bar on the right like you may be used to from years ago using Windows or a much older version of Mac OS. You can obviously see it fills more than just what I can just see here on the screen.

For instance, here I am in Mac OS High Sierra and I have a Pages document. Video Transcript: If you're new to Mac you may not yet be familiar with how scroll bars work on Macs. Check out A Beginner’s Guide to Mac Scroll Bars at YouTube for closed captioning and more options.
