Three finger navigation stopped working

The last two days the ability to go backwards and forwards through web pages with a three finger sideways swipe across the trackpad has disappeared. Unclicking and reclicking it in System Prefs doesn't bring it back, nor does restarting Safari. I tried trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist but it still didn't work. Any other tricks to try out? This is on my MBP 13" with 10.6.1.

Try doing a PRAM reset, the instructions are:
*Resetting PRAM and NVRAM*
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

Roger

Three finger swipe stopped working

My three finger swipe has stopped working for the last week. I have used it for a year and suddenly it is not working. I have tried togging it on and off in the preference pane with no change. Tested it in Safari and FF with no reaction.

Two-Finger Scrolling Stopped Working

After updating to 10.5.6, my two-finger scrolling stopped working; everything else seems to be fine. What can I do to get it working again?

Same thing happened to me today. I've had the 10.5.6 update installed for a week and have restarted my system several times since then, and experienced no problems until now. Today was the first day I powered my system down completely (rather than just restarting) and now my trackpad is wonky.
I can use the trackpad like normal with one finger, and two-finger vertical scrolling works as long as I'm inside an application. I can also use two fingers to right-click. I just can't use two fingers to scroll in any direction besides up or down, and I can only scroll if I'm in an application or window that requires scrolling.
Inside my Trackpad preferences panel in System Prefs, there's a checkbox for "Secondary Tap" under "Two Fingers." The other options ("Scroll," "Rotate," etc.) appear but there is no checkbox next to them. There isn't a checkbox for "Swipe to Navigate" under "Three Fingers" either.
I will call Apple support and see what I can find out.

One finger dragging stops working

Occasionally I see the one finger dragging stop working on my trackpad. A reboot clears up the issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else sees the same.
Thanks!

Yeah that happens to me sometimes. It's usually because every computer needs to be shut down (or restarted) every once in a while. I don't think it's anything major. A simple reboot is all you need .

Three finger and four finger multitouch stopped working

For some reason it just stopped working, I'm not sure what's going on. Rebooting isn't helping. Suggestions?

Try resetting the SMC:

And the PRAM:

Good luck!

Trackpad two- and three-finger functions not working

Everything was fine last night, but when I turned on the computer this morning, the trackpad is not working correctly. Cursor movement with one finger feels different than normal (a bit sluggish) and two- and three-finger functions such as scrolling, enlarging, and navigating forward and back do not work. I have tried letting the computer sleep first, rebooting, shutting down and turning back on, and the trackpad firmware update from last November (which it said I did not need to update) and nothing has worked. The trackpad menu in the System Preferences offered nothing as well. I have not updated to Snow Leopard.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
I had the same problem specially after carrying out the last update 4.3 the battery was draining very fast y. In addition to that the phone freezing initially for few minutes then for almost a day and finally continuously.
I did almost every thing but replacing the handset and non worked.
As a final attempt to fix the problem before I replace the unit and get a new one was to
1. connect the phone to the my computer (Mac)
2. Launch iTunes
3. Restore the phone to factory setting (with the 4.3) upgrade.
Of course I lost every thing my contacts all of my apps and phone settings. But it worked it has been two days now the phone didn't freeze and the battery life is even better than before.
Note:
1. All of my contacts, note, calendar, emails were backed up using my company exchanger
2. Before restoring I listed all of the apps that were installed and I reinstalled them one by one all over again.
Try this solution and I hope it works with you.

Three finger gestures not working on Mountain Lion

Since upgrade to Mountain Lion, gestures have become unreliable. Gestures for Mission Control, switching between full screen app, etc. (which are set with three fingre swipes) work sometimes but won't work most of the time. Anyone else facing the same problem?

I had this problem but I found it was the settings that changed when mountain lion was installed.
Mountain lion changed my three finger gestures to four finger gestures when swiping between full screen apps.
I found there were extra settings. Apparently when installing mountain lion my three finger gestures were changed to four finger gestures.

thanks for your answer. I did not have anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
In any case: for some reason it's working again without problems.

I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions?

Three Finger Flick not working in Chrome?

I have a Lenovo Y460, which their touchpad supports the 'Three Finger Flick' function (Allows you to scroll through photos, back/forward on webpages (not that useful but still nice)), and I always just thought it didn't work on my computer or I just didnt know how to use it.
As a web browser, I like Google Chrome. But I clicked on IE by accident and felt like trying the flick again. So it works in IE but not in Chrome? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

@dimfisch
I'm not quite sure what double tap is/what you mean, but you can configure little sections of your touchpad to have a different function. If you click on that little ^ arrow on your task bar, and find "Synaptics Pointing Device" (looks like a little touchpad with a green center), go properties, Device Settings, and then settings one once, you'll find that you can add a few extra functions and all in there. Hope this helps!

Canon MP Navigator Stopped Working (MX870)

Running Windows7, 64 bit Oper System
Canon MX870
Scanning was not an issue prior to a few days ago. No new software or programs have been installed.
Went to scan a document and scanning looked like it was working, then it greyed out and received error message: Canon MP Navigator EX has stopped working.
Searched internet for solutions and tried them. Nothing works. I've gone as far to un-install all Canon products and utilities, even went into registry and searched and removed everything I thought I could related to Canon.
Still receive error. What do I do now?
Guess I've pretty much stumped the panal since there's been no response
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi jealkon,
There may be a third party scanner driver interfering with MP navigator. Please try the following:
1. Click 'Start' and then 'Computer'.
2. On the left-hand pane, click the down arrow beside Local Disk (C: ).
3. Click the down arrow beside Windows to open the folder
4. Highlight the twain_32 folder.
5. The folder should have 2 folders that start with PIXMA MX870 and a file called wiatwain.ds. Any other folders or files should be dragged to the desktop.
6. Reboot the computer and try scanning again.

MP Navigator stopped working

I have had the Canon PIXMA MX439 for almost a year and it has worked perfectly until recently. A few weeks ago I started getting this message every time I try to scan: "MP Navigator EX has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Sometimes the scan still saves successfully to the folder and sometimes it does not. I'm not sure what made this start or how to fix the problem. I've looked online and tried some of the suggestions, but nothing has worked. My printer could beconnected wirelessly, but I've always used it hardwired.

Hi mdolifka,
There are several possible reasons for this error, but let's check the most common cause first.
Follow these steps to check for any non-Canon TWAIN devices that may be conflicting with your scanner drivers:
Click the Start icon and select 'Computer'.
On the left-hand pane, double-click 'Local Disk (C'.
Use the scroll bar on the left-hand pane to scroll down and then double-click 'Windows' folder.
Use the scroll bar on the left-hand pane to scroll down and then double-click 'twain_32' folder.
Under twain_32, right-click on the non-Canon model folder and select 'Cut'
Use the scroll bar on the left-hand pane to scroll up and then click 'Windows' folder.
In Windows folder, right-click in a blank any area and select 'Paste'.
If prompted to provide administrator permission to move the folder, click 'Continue'.
If prompted to provide permission again, click 'Continue'.
Reboot the computer, open MP Navigator and try again.
If this didn't work, or if you have any other questions, please feel free to Contact Us!

W510 Finger Scanner Stopped working

Hi gd ppl
It was just 2 days ago when i discovered that my fingerprint scanner seemed to stop working. The green LED on the scanner did not light up at all after the startup screen. Tried swiping but nothing actually happened. I have a long password which is a pain to type, so could u guys perhaps suggest how i can verify if the thing is actually bust or there are still ways which i could kinda try out before visiting the service centre?
Any comments would sure be nice,
Thanks in advance guys

hey Tomahawk120,
try uninstalling the drivers and software for the fingerprint.
check in the bios if the fingerprint hardware is switch on. once done.. reinstall the software and drivers of the fingerprint and try again.

Three finger lookup not working in Safari

The lookup function is not working in safari like it used to. it just shows up and disappears. it can work in pdf and other web browser like chrome. here attached the video to show what it is like
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=340960832725648&l=2741779373765662691

sorry for the slow reply.
The problem did happen as soon as I installed 10.6. As I still work in 10.5 as well I do a lot of switching between the two. The problem has never appeared on 10.5, and has now stopped happening on 10.6
Do you still have the issue after a reboot? I have not had the issue since I posted this topic and nothing has changed on my pack
