Do I understand that you can scroll through most things just fine, but not when attaching a picture to an email?


Try this: In Photos, before you try to attach the image, find the photo you want and select it. Then choose File>Share>Mail. That should pop up an email starter with your picture already in it.


Or, in Mail, click on the little pictures icon, as ghr165 suggested (it's labeled "Photo Browser" for me), and you should see "Photos."



Click on that and you get a menu of albums and media types.

Click on an album, and you should see a list of pictures in the album. You can use the slider on the right to scroll through the pictures.

I'm not quite sure I know what you mean. Do you mean this? With a trackpad, you scroll a page with two fingers. You can see this with the trackpad system setting:


There are lots of other cool gestures, 1 or 2 or 3 fingers, that are outlined there, as well.


If you prefer, you can get a bluetooth mouse with a scroll wheel. Personally, I really like that MacBook trackpads.


Or is there something else I'm not understanding?
