Just updated to Mac Lion (aka OSX 10.7.5) I searched with Goggle for advice on how to revert the "new" (to me anyway) scrolling behavior. (I've decided that needing to be cross functional in Windows and Mac that I will have difficulty learning the "new" convention. The control panels for the Logitech mouse version m555b are not the default ones I am seeing in the advice online that allows one to specify that "natural scrolling" will be disabled. Not really a coding question, but does seem to fall within configuring a user interface. If you want to refer me to another venue, please do so. I'll delete the question if advised to do so.
Edit. Since I didn't convey the lack of the desired disable natural scrolling button, I will show the dialog panels I do see.
Apple Menu in top left of screen: System Preferences: Mouse: Disable Natural Scrolling
This should work, unless your question was getting at something different.

Normally to drag I
Click on item to drag
Hold down with one finger
Then do dragging motion with another finger
Now when I click on an item a popup shows up showing a window into the content of the file. So now I cannot move a file from one folder to another. Does anyone know the fix for this issue?
If I enable three-finger dragging then it takes away my ability to use three-fingers to slide between screens.
Sounds like you've got a Mac with a force-sensitive trackpad and you're pushing hard enough to trigger Quick Look. Don't push as hard to get a regular click; you can disable "Force Click and haptic feedback" in Trackpad System Preferences.

How can I disable horizontal scrolling (while keeping vertical scrolling enabled) on an Apple mult-touch trackpad, specifically while creating a Word document? This has been asked often in Mac forums, but nobody has posted an answer. And neither has Apple. Running OS 10.6.8 on a mid-2010 MacBook Pro.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. According to the following Apple support page (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3448):
"Mac notebooks without Multi-Touch trackpads have the option to disable horizontal scrolling or to disable scrolling completely whereas Multi-Touch trackpads can only adjust scrolling speed."
One can only hope that Apple will see the wisdom of reinstating this intuitive & highly useful option in the future.

How could I switch off primary Macbook screen?
I'm working with 2 External via Thunderbolt and HDMI on new Retina Macbook.
I want to switch off retina display and work just with external monitors without closing the cover of my laptop. Is there any setup option for that? I didn't find it under Preferences.
It seems to be possible to sleep display so by I/O Kit:
http://explanatorygap.net/2009/01/31/a-screensaver-to-send-your-display-to-sleep/
But I am not sure whether it can control single monitors.
you are searching for the 'clamshell' mode. the only way i get this to work is to wake my mac with external keyboard while the lid stays closed
see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131
This worked like a charm on my old macbook (late 2008) with opening the lid again and the screen stays off until 'force' detecting it...
however, my retina display also wakes when in clamshell and then being opened.
There is a reason to this: Heat.
Aluminium macbooks can get really hot, especially since the vents are in the back and blowing the heat up in front of the opened display. Your retina macbook shuts itself down at about 110°C to 130°C, but please be careful.

the other day I was moving my laptop with wireless mouse. I accidentally dropped my mouse and I don't know which buttons were clicked. However, the expose feature (just like on a Mac) came up and I was really impressed! I like Mac and own one, but am still a Windows guy at heart. Anyone know? I am not talking about installing external software, I know the feature is built into Windows 8 because I saw it firsthand. Searches for expose, tips and tricks online turned up nothing. Thanks!
Okay, I figured it out. I love Microsoft... This might work with any external mouse supporting three buttons. I am using a wireless Microsoft USB mouse with three buttons, with the middle supporting scroll functionality (a wheel). If I hold the left or right mouse button down and then click the scroll wheel, the expose comes up. I can also let go of both buttons so that if I use my scrolling, I can select which application I want to focus on (or just click the app you want too). The only thing I did not figure out is that when this first happened, the apps surrounded my desktop in the expose. This time, they just appear as an organized grid. Solution by webappguy-dot-com.
windows 8 has no native "expose" like mac has.
still, there is software around the web that can do it.
to trigger app scrolling do alt+tab

Is there a way to move window with a mouse after clicking on window (any zone) holding some key like command / control / alt in MacOS X Lion?
So the process is like:
you click on a window while holding command
do not leave the mouse button, move mouse
with mouse selected window is moving
I had this option in Linux and that was very useful.
Thanks.
Coming from someone who also got very used to this functionality under Linux, I also spent some time looking for a tool to do this after getting a Mac. I don't believe that this is possible out of the box.
I use a product named Hyperdock (9.95 USD) to facilitate this. In addition to some other functionality that I don't use (window previews, iTunes extensions, etc), it includes options for moving and resizing windows with left mouse button + hotkey. It's not free, but it's the only tool I've been able to find that provides this functionality.
