Here is THE solution! 1. Click on the apple in upper left corner of the screen. 2.
Choose "System Preferences" from the list.
3.
Click on the icon for "General" to bring up the general preferences.
4.
Finally, in the second section choose "Always" for "Show scroll bar".
Can’t see your scroll bar? Isn’t it annoying? Make it stay on the page! Sometimes your scroll bar will disappear on websites or documents. To get it back you have to start clicking around until you see it and hope you can click on it before it disappears again. No more hide and seek! By setting your preferences correctly, you can make sure it always appears! "Technology is anything invented after you were born, everything else is just stuff" -Alan Kay
