Hi!
I install Lion on MacBook2,1 and hawe trackpad scroll problem. My trackpad scroll reverse. Two fingers drag up system scroll down. Please fix problem!
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7)
Open System Preferences > Trackpad and disable the setting "Scroll direction:natural".
Open System Preferences > Trackpad and disable the setting "Scroll direction:natural".
Both the trackpad and Mouse scroll have been reversed; it's a logical change when using gestures, think of it as scrolling the document not the window (if I'm allowed to use that word), it now works the same as the iPad/iPhone (etc)...
As an iPad user, I find it a more natural way of interacting with my documents.

Agree. But when you've been using OS X for years and have become accustomed to the scroll wheel direction, this new default really throws you...
I was a little puzzled at first too. On my iPad and iPhone and even the Trackpad it´s fine but never on my mouse.
Since I´m also using PCs, that would just give me head ache.
Anyway is there a way too unlock the scroll dependancy between the trackpad and the mouse?
Since they both are Magic it should be possible...
Seems like both of us want the same thing. I like the natural (new) scroll behavior on the trackpad where it indeed mimics the natural way of moving a sheet of paper up and down and the behavior of touch screen os'es out there. However I would like to disable it on the mouse where it does not feel natural, natural is what I'm used to in the last decades of working on a computer. Add to this the fact that I also use windows and it takes a smarter guy than I am to easily switch reflexes used when scrolling.
So, can you have it one way on the trackpad and the other on the mouse?
Later edit: I just found a way that's supposed to work and I am just testing it, a free app called scroll reverser. I still think this should come with the OS but till then let's hope this works ok.
@Pahu:
Thanks for that easy answer. Perfect. For me, if I want to scroll down, I want to move my hand 'down,' not in the reverse.
awesome. Just installed Lion and everything is slow booting up. Leopard was certainly faster. we'll see how all this pans out. next is bootcamp. oy.

On my MBP, you have to connect a mouse and then go: system settings>mouse>scroll direction
MacBook2,1 trackpad scroll reverse!
