Wait for Spotlight indexing to end. One of Apple's processes, Spotlight indexing, can bring a Mac to its knees while it creates or rebuilds the Spotlight index. Wait for the process to end, although it can take a long time if Spotlight is indexing a new drive, a clone you just made, or some other event that caused a significant change in the Mac's data storage. The Page up and Page down keys move the highlighted cell, but the view doesn't follow. I can scroll up and down fine using a trackpad. It behaves consistently this way between two Macs: a Mac Pro (Late 2013) and a 12' MacBook. When you use Page Up/Down you can see the column the highlighted cell is in with a green bar at the header. I am using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5. I am new to this development environment, and previously worked on Windows. I am wondering what is the page-up and page-down key on the Mac? My MacBook Pro seems to not have these two keys on the keyboard. Thanks in advance.

Updated for Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
In order to get page up and page down to work properly under Mac OSX Terminal, as well as the home and end of line (EoL), you need to go to Preferences and then Keyboard and configure the right escape key sequences.
(Note for laptop users: you don't have the page up/down and home/EoL keys, but you can simulate them by holding the 'fn' key and pressing on an arrow key. So these configurations also apply to you.)
In the Terminal Preferences, go to the Keyboard pane and watch the the keys named 'page up', 'page down', 'home' and 'end'. You will see they already exist but are configured to scroll the buffer rather than sending commands to the server you're connected to.
In order to change this, double click on each of the relevant lines and select Action: 'Send string to shell:'
You then need to enter the correct string to send to the shell. This is a multiple key sequence starting with the escape character (which is represented with it's octal code 033). Here are strings you can use for each key:
As of OSX 10.6.8, the correct fix is:
| Key | Recommended Escape Sequence | Other possible sequences you can try if the recommended doesn't work for you | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 033OH | 033[1~ | 033[H | 001 |
| End | 033OF | 033[4~ | 033[F | 005 |
| Page Up | 033[5~ | |||
| Page Down | 033[6~ | |||
You can either type these strings on your keyboard (start by presseing Esc) or you can just copy paste the strings from above. Simple paint program mac.
It is worth noting that some of these are already bound to Shift-Page Up, Shift-Page Down, Shift-Home and Shift-End (which are obtained with Shift-Fn-Up/Down/Left/Right on a laptop keyboard). So if you can change your habits slightly you don't actually need to reconfigure anything.
Also note that some people (including Apple) recommend to use 033[H for Home but this doesn't actually work in vi or vim. This is why I recommend using 033OH which has worked in any shell or editor for me so far (Mac terminal, Debian terminal, vim, etc.)
If the recommended sequences don't work for you: please try the alternative suggested here. Also please let us know with which shell or editor you are trying to make them work and which escape sequences work best for you. This way we can order them in order of popularity and possibly give specific advice for specific environments to future visitors of this page. Thank you for your feedback.

Unless you've specifically bought the full size Mac keyboard, you're missing dedicated page up and page down keys.
But, you're not missing out on the functionality; here are the shortcuts:
If you do want the dedicated keys, you can buy Apple's full size keyboard or most windows keyboards will work with Macs too.

While Apple's full-size keyboards have dedicated Home, End, Page Up, & Page Down keys, their compact keyboards (such as those found on laptops) do not. Instead, they double-up the function of some keys. Apple does not label the second function of all the keys, so not everyone realizes their full potential!
When you hold the function (fn) key and press certain keys on Apple keyboards, it makes those keys act differently. It activates their alternate function. Here are the common ones you should know:
