By the way, to those who tell us to go to System Prefs/Trackpad/Scroll & zoom, I will tell you that this is not an option on my iMac running 10.7.3. I,like many,do not use a Trackpad, so the options to change scrolling are not available. So there!

I installed Lion, and Apple is so stupid. A MacBook is NOT an iPhone.
So they think we can't tell the difference between a touch screen and a trackpad?
Lion makes it so un-natural!
Thank you for fixing it. I am very surprised that Apple doesn't have a check-box in the system prefs for this.

System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom
Uncheck ”Scroll direction: natural”
Anyway, I don't understand why changing the direction so that the content goes in the direction you scroll mean that Apple think's the Mac is an iPhone. It's got nothing to do with that. It's about consistency and just because we are used to the scroll acting in certain way it doesn't mean that is the ”correct” way.

MacUpdate, please add the ability to edit comments. It doesn't matter how much I proof-read, there's always some mistake slipping through. I guess it's the law… :(

A trackpad might be closer than a mouse to the iPhone scrolling paradigm. But for me, unless I am touching the document itself "directly" via the display, natural scrolling is neither natural nor consistent, once you think beyond simple directionality and consider the paradigms. But if you think natural scrolling works on a mouse or trackpad, more power to you.

I am using a USB mouse.

Maybe a restart that I did since the original install fixed it.

Gesturing 'upwards' to scroll down is anatomically awkward, especially if reading a long article!

I really don't see why a separate application is needed at all. It's already there in the prefs.

The new natural settings makes sense for a track pad but are plain stupid for a mouse wheel.
This lets me use the trackpad with my left hand for swiping between spaces etc in the natural way, but use my mouse as it should be.
Thanks!!!
