Swipe Gesture not working on MBP

I have found since going to 10.5.7 on the MBP 15.4" (2008 unibody), that I can no longer do the three finger to the side swipe to get back/forward a webpage. Everything else like Expose works, just not that.
Anyone else had the same issue ?

HI,
Open System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse/ and click the Trackpad tab. Try resetting your Swipe preferences and see if that helps.
If that doesn't help, download and install the 10.5.7 "combo" update.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
After the installation is finished, run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility.

  • Swipe gestures not working on iPad or mouse

    The swipe gestures to move between windows, or access launch pad are not working. Cannot do secondary button on mouse. Track pad is also not working completely. Not sure what settings I may have fouled up, or just what happened.
    Any suggestions?

    It fires on both onactivate and onfocus. I had to do that to work on the Mac clients. Look at the code:

  • Help! Trackpad swipe gestures not working - windows 8 pro mc x64

    Hi
    I have windows 8 pro mc x64 with bootcamp 5, on my macbook pro 13" mid 2010, everything worked, but my trackpad has no swipe gestures.
    No back/forward with 3 fingers on google chrome for exemple.
    Is there a WINDOWS REGISTER mod that would enable this feature?
    I tried trackpad++ but no good, and also i don't like it, a lot of junk to install.
    Thanks

    Trackpad ++ is the only viable option for swiping et. al and is very simple to install.
    If you follow the install instructions and read them thoroughly you'll see what I mean.
    Read the later posts from  page 33 to the end here...
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2436935?start=480&tstart=0
    The only other option is the Magic Tools http://www.trackpadmagic.com/magic-trackpad/home
    but it does not provide the features you are seeking.
    Those of us using Tackpad++ are well pleased and Vladimir just keeps improving it consistently..

  • Swipe Gestures Not Working

    Scrolling back and forward no longer works with any web browser (I've tried it on Opera, Chromium, and Safari) - with either a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad. Anyone figure out how to get this back?

    I had this issue. My solution was to unplug my Time Machine external Hard Drive from iMac. I know it sounds really odd that having it plugged in would stop the gestures, but it worked for me. It must be completely unplugged, not just unmounted.

  • Multi finger gesture not working

    Hi,
    My laptop is hp 15-r014TX.
    Recently my touchpad multi finger gesture has stopped working. I can not scroll using 2-finger scroll, right click, rotation, zoom in and out. However, one-finger gestures are all working fine like I can swap between apps by left swipe, options appear by right swipe. I tried changing the settings, but of no use.
    Thanks,
    Pragya

    Hello @Pragya_Mathur ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP 15-r014tx Notebook and the finger gestures not working correctly. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the finger gestures on a Touchpad.
    If you will go to the section on common TouchPad gestures, TouchPad and ClickPad configuration options are located on the TouchPad properties page. It shows you the Clickpad properties page. You can select the options.  This only works on programs that have this capability, such as a photo browser or word processor.
    Hope this fixes your issue with finger gestures.
    Thanks.

  • Multi gestures not working on iPad Air ios8 onwards

    Multi gestures not working on iPad Air ios8 onwards. Turning gestures off then on works briefly. It's annoying. Is the Air bust? In for rep-air?

    MMine has not been working ever since ios8 update. Apple blamed a game I have on the iPad, however this problem occurs on all apps including apple own brand.
    ITs it's almost like they don't care
    come on Apple sort this out !! It's been too long

  • How can i connect my iPhone with my pc !! still my swipe is not working still my pc ask for accept device on iPhone

    how can i connect my iPhone with my pc !! still my swipe is not working but my pc ask to accept device on iPhone!!!!

    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.
    How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

  • Finger gesture not working on ipad

    Ever since the iOS 8 update and the latest updates there after, figure gestures on my iPad are simply not working. To get then to work you need to drag down from the top of the screen to see notifications and then it works. have spoken to apple and they suggested it was an app but it does it on everything. Come on apple sort this out its very frustrating. Has anyone had this and have a solution ?

    Define "finger gestures". The iPad is a touch screen device so that's a pretty broad category. If you are talking about multi tasking gestures, like pinching to the home screen, or using a four finger swipe, I have found it to be flakey since the iOS 8 update as well. If it quits working on me, I go into the Settings>General>Mulitasking Gestures and turn it off, then on again. That's not a fix, but it usually holds for a few weeks before I uave to do it again.

  • Multi touch gestures not working in mountain lion?

    Any one else having problems with their multi gesture trackpad not working when you wake your notebook from sleeping with Mountain Lion? If I restart it fixes it but once it falls asleep it stops working again.

    I've been having the same problem.  When my MBP would wake from sleep any touch gestures that used more than two fingers would not work.  I also had the issue where the MBP would forget the wireless network when it woke from sleep.  I found this answer on another thread and it worked on both issues for me.

  • Yoga 13 - three fingers gestures not working after hibernate in Windows 10

    After hibernation in the Windows 10 do not work with three fingers gestures:
    1. Swipe up to activate the new Task View
    2. Swipe down to minimize all active windows
    3. Swipe left and right to activate switching between apps
    Not only operate the new Windows 10 gestures. All other gestures, including tap with three fingers to work.After rebooting, the problem disappears. It helps to reinstall the drivers. But after hibernation problem recurs again and I need to reinstall the driver. После гибернации на Windows 10 перестают работать жесты тремя пальцами:
    1. Свайп вверх для включения Task View
    2. Свайп вниз для сворачивания всех окон
    3. Свайп влево и вправо для переключения между приложениями
    Не работают только новые Windows 10 жесты. Все остальные жесты, включая тап тремя пальцами, работают.После перезагрузки проблема не пропадает. Помогает переустановка драйверов. Но после гибернации проблема повторяется и мне нужно снова переустанавливать драйвера.

    We had the same problem of wi-fi not appearing at all in network connections, with a newly bought Lenovo Yoga 2 13 with Realtek wireless just upgraded to Windows 10, and after a lot of tinkering managed to get it working. We did three things at the same time, which between them fixed it:1. Installed the Intel Chipset drivers for Windows 10 (from Lenovo's support site)2. Did a HARD/FULL SHUTDOWN (hold SHIFT when clicking shutdown), bypassing Windows fast hybrid shutdown.3. Accessed the BIOS, turned Wi-Fi setting in the BIOS off and on and saved settings (there's a button on the side to access the BIOS) I suspect the combination of 1 and 2 fixed it (with the FULL shutdown being key!), because I can't see just accessing the BIOS doing much, but thought I would list all 3 just in case! Sorry for not being more specific, but I hope this helps someone!

  • Scrolling/other gestures not working after Lion upgrade - Any suggestions?

    So far the only gesture that seems to work on my iMac with Magic Mouse is the two fingered swipe to the left and right to switch between full screen apps / mission control / etc.
    Scolling, double click to open mission control, etc do not work despite options selected in the Mouse preferences pane.
    Have trie swapping mouse over but no joy and my Macbook, which is also upgraded works with no problems.
    Any suggestions to try and get things working would be gratefully received.
    Michael

    I'm using a Logitech Performance MX mouse and after installing Lion, the calibration or whatever is messed up. For example, whereas before I would scroll the wheel on top of the mouse to move down the page or document, doing so now moves me UP the page (and vice versa, scrolling the wheel away from me toward the screen moves me DOWN the page). I don't see a fix for that in System Preferences. I can probably adapt, but should I really have to?
    Yes, I know, Apple wants me to use the trackpad now rather than a mouse. Well, sorry. I am set in my ways.
    When I open the Finder to find a photo, my windows are also inverted. Items that were at the top of the list are now at the bottom and I don't see any way of inverting back as you could before. What the...?

  • Back mouse gesture not working after Mavericks upgrade

    Just upgraded to Mavericks.
    No matter what website I'm on and no matter how many pages deep I'm in, the "one finger swipe" to go back a page is not working.  It's acting like there are no other pages to go back to.  However, when I click on the back arrow, it goes back like normal.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Anyone else find a fix?

    Found the solution.
    Somehow during the upgrade, this gesture gets turned off in System Preferences.  Go there, to Mouse, turn it back on.  Back to normal!

  • Zoom gesture not working??

    Hello, the pinch/zoom is not working when using safari? I tried it in iphoto and it worked there. i am using mac os x lion, all other gestures appear to b

    Right, if you don't have the buttonless trackpad you can't use all the gestures in Lion. With MacBooks it's only the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody that have the buttonless multi-touch glass trackpad. The Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s had the 2 button trackpads

  • Pinch & zoom gestures not working in Safari

    Help!  Since updating iPhone 4 to iOs 5.1, "pinch &amp; zoom" gestures do not zoom in on page in Safari.  Can anyone help with this?

    On Lion 10.7.2, iMac, pinch to zoom does not work at all in any application.  It is selected in Preferences.  Apple Genius & tech on the phone could offer nothing, no reason why, & no fix .  Better Touch Tool does not offer a pinch to zoom, so that didn't help.
    Among my friends, some say it works, some say it does not, about half & half. 
    APPLE!  Please give us a fix for this!
