If you are experiencing trouble scrolling on your Mac, check your trackpad settings to ensure "Two-finger scrolling" is enabled. Restart your Mac/Apple device afterward or boot into Safe Mode to isolate potential software issues.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of these troubleshooting steps:
- Check Trackpad Settings:
- Access System Settings: Go to Apple menu > System Settings.
- Navigate to Trackpad: Click on "General" or "Trackpad" (depending on your macOS version).
- Verify Two-Finger Scrolling: Make sure "Two-finger scrolling" is enabled.
- Check Scrolling Direction: Ensure the scrolling direction is set to "Natural" or "Standard" as desired.
- Check for Scroll Lock (if applicable):
Some keyboards have a Scroll Lock key (usually near the arrow keys) that might be accidentally activated.
Check for a lit-up indicator light for Scroll Lock, then press the key to disable it.
On some Mac keyboards, you might need to press "FN" + "SHIFT" + "F12" to toggle Scroll Lock on or off.
