3 finger swiping

ok before Lion, while using a browser I could do a 3 finger swipe-which was equal to forward and back on my browser. After Lion now it just moves between apps and desktop. Can I change this to still work on my browser as before

I am guessing that you can probably change that, but I don't know how. Then the other question for you would be how to switch between full screen applicaitons if you use the three finger swipe to move forward and backward in Safari?
As of now, it is changed to two finger swipe in Safari to go back and forth in history. Why not just use two fingers?

Three finger swiping for forward and backwards

I just recently installed Lion (Yay) and I noticed that they have taken out something that I really used a lot in Snow Leopard; the three finger swiping, that could navigate back and forward through pages on the web and replaced the need of using the arrow keys to navigate up and down in apps such as Mail. I loved this feature because it simply made it easier and enjoyable to navigate. I know that it has been replaced with a two finger swipe, but to my knowlege, this is only used it Safari not Chrome or anyother application. Now my question is "Is there a way to get it back?" I'm just looking for something that will at least get the two finger swipe to navigate more than the Safari Application.
Cheers,
Callum

So i was in the same boat, and I literally just figured it out like 5 mins ago.
Go into system preferences>Trackpad, click on the tab for More Gestures
Its the very first option you come to on that page, Its 'Swipe between Pages', I was used to 3 fingers left or right.
Ahh back to normal...On to other problems with Lion. Good Luck and I hope this helped.

Four finger swiping between spaces doesn't work in Mountain Lion

I have my magic trackpad settings to include 3 finger dragging which means that activating Mission Control, or swiping between full screen apps and spaces requires 4 fingers. I have a MBP running Mountain Lion and it works fine, but on a MBA connected to a thunderbolt display and using a magic trackpad, it doesn't work. I can 4 finger swipe for Mission Control, but I cannot swipe between full screen apps and spaces using 4 fingers. The only way it will work is to disable the 3 finger drag, and set it to use 3 finger swipes for moving between full screen apps and spaces.
Am I missing something? I don't think so.

I already have that checked. All settings are correct. The weird thing is, that with those settings turned on, four finger swiping reacts like 2 finger swiping, except for engaging Mission Control. So, on a properly working machine, no matter what app is open, four finger swiping left to right will take me between spaces. BUT, on this machine four finger swiping left to right over a browser will make the browser pages go back and forth. I have all the settings set exactly like all my other Macs. It's only this one machine that is using the magic trackpad that is not working correctly.
New batteries are installed, and I have no other issues with the trackpad. It seems like a software bug. This MBA does have FileVault turned on. I'm wondering if that's an issue.

Is two-finger swiping on Magic Mouse ever going to work in Boot Camp?

I recently installed Boot Camp w/Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit) on my Macbook Pro. Everything works great, except two-finger swiping on the Magic Mouse in Firefox 4.
Do you think that Apple will address this in the future, or is this a Windows limitation with no solution? The Magic Mouse is pretty sweet, but I got used to using two-finger swiping, and it's driving me nuts not having it.

If you have not made any disk partition changes or resized windows or used OSX Disk Utility after Windows was installed, you are in a relatively safer position. I would highly recommend backups of both OSX and Windows with the ability to rollback, before you attempt the upgrade.

2 Finger Swiping for Scrolling Not Working All of the Sudden

I have a G510 running Windows 8.1 and have the ELAN Smart-Pad software. It took me a while to get used to the new gestures on Windows 8, but was finally enjoying scrolling down webpages by using 2 fingers and swiping to the right (down) and left (up). I was using the laptop and closed my programs an d closed the lid to have some lunch. When I came back, I could no longer scroll down on a webpage by 2 finger swiping to the left or right. In order to scroll up or down now, I have to use the 2 fingers and swipe up and down. Before this incident, I was able to use either way, 2 finger swipe to the right, left, up, and down.
I have tried restarting my computer, rolling back the driver, re-installing the new driver. I also opened up the mouse settings in ELAN and reset everything back to default. I've double and triple checked that both "Vertical" and "Horizontal" scrolling is checked and enabled. I've restarted my computer a total of about 10 times now trying everything I can think of. Nothing works. I haven't downloaded any updates lately at all and this just happened out of nowhere. I've googled and searched these threads and have found nothing that describes my problem exactly, although there are some similar issues. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

hi AJL127,
If both the horizontal / veritical scrolling works on other apps then this is most likely a compatibility issue.

How can I turn off 3 finger swiping and 3 finger clicking that opens Desktop?

I've got a problem that's driving me mad.
Every now and again I accidentally swipe my Magic Mouse, or click it with 3 fingers, and it pushes all the windows to the top and side, and goes into 'Desktop', it's really very annoying and there's no option to turn this off. I'm not 100% sure what gesture is causing this, but I juts want to turn the option to go to Desktop off, or the mouse will have to go in the bin.
I've downloaded Magic Prefs, but it doesn't seem to help.
Anyone got any ideas?

The only gesture that is stand is the two finger tap the goes to mission control. You can turn that off in System Preferences > mouse.
Also check the second column in System Preferences > Mission control > Show Desktop:
Set to "-" as a secondary click here could cause the issue.

Finger swiping

My daughter pressed some buttons accidentally on my iPod touch and now when I swipe my finger on the screen to change pages or to scroll up or down, it is not responding. Can you help?

Check to make sure accessibility features have not been enabled. See this article for details on to turn them off.

HT6065 Anyone have an idea of when a two-finger swipe bug fix is coming? I see no mention of the error in this update's summary. : /

Still having mucho trackpad/magic mouse issues with two finger swiping/scrolling. Best short-term fix I've found is tapping the power button and then waking my MBP back up again. It usually fixes the trackpad/magic mouse freeze on two-finger gestures temporarily. Anyone know if Apple's made any mention of a fix for this headed our way?

It's hard to tell if there's a rhyme or reason as to when or why it wigs out, but I've noticed that since my Mavericks install, sometimes two finger scrolling or swiping will suddenly be completely non-responsive, and it just won't work at all. I mostly use two finger gestures in Safari, so for me, it's been most noticable for scrolling vertically or flicking back or forward during web browsing.
It's not limited to Safari, the problem also affects Chrome and Firefox usability, as well.

It seems to impede trackpad & magic mouse use equally, and while it's not a constant issue, I'd say it'll lock up somewhere around every 12 hours, sometimes more often, sometimes less. Once it locks up, the only way to fix it is either a sloppy workaround like the one I mentioned in my above comment, or a reboot of the MBP.
From the reading around I've done on the problem, it seems that for some people it causes the total freeze, like me, some people have just noticed erractic, delayed, or temporarily non-responsive use of varying severity, but just based on the number of people mentioning it, it certainly appears connected to the Mavericks update.
At a cursory glance, here's a handful of other users have a similar issue:

2 finger swipe in Safari/iTunes

I have a late 2007 Macbook Pro with 10.6.2.
As you know it has 2 finger scrolling, but no 3 finger swiping
But now I was thinking, it registers 2 finger horizontal scrolling, shouldn't it be able to switch that to a swipe?
So I mean that if I do a 2 finger swipe in Safari, it goes to the previous/next page and in iTunes it goes to the previous/next song.
Thanks!

There is no option to use 2 finger swipe for page browsing or iTunes
Just the horizontal scrolling
But I think you think I have a Macbook Pro who is able to do 3 finger swiping, but that's not true, the maximum number of fingers this one can detect is only 2
That's why I'm asking if I can use a 2 finger swipe for these abilities

2 finger swipe in mission control instead of 3 finger

I have an old white macbook which is not able to use 3-finger gestures. So I cannot swipe between the different desktops in mission control. I know that I can use the alt key and then press a desktop of choice or a keyboard shortcut but I would prefer to use the trackpad.
Therefore i ask: Is it possible to use 2 finger swipe in mission control to switch between desktops instead of 3 fingers?

Can't turn off swiping with Magic mouse

I have the magic mouse with a brand new 27 inch iMac, running OS 10.6.2. The magic mouse is almost unusable in any spreadsheet because the sheet will suddenly shift left and right because of my tendency to have two fingers on the mouse. This is true in Excel as well as Google's online spreadsheets. So I decided to turn off two finger swiping, but it still does it! Do I need to revert to a regular mouse or is there an easy fix?

I am experiencing a somewhat similar problem with the Magic Mouse: I cannot disable the lateral scroll feature. This is terribly frustrating whenever coming across a page that extends beyond the width of the screen: It is virtually impossible to scroll vertically without some concomitant lateral scrolling!
I've spoken with Apple Care about this... and the techs there were "surprised" that lateral scrolling could not be disabled! Their advice: wait until some 3rd party utility comes along to solve the problem!

Scrolling in Safari triggers back/forward swiping

I have my Macbook Pro set to two-finger scrolling. (I have it set "backwards" so when I swipe towards myself, it scrolls down.)
I also have it set for two-finger swiping to go back and forward.
Since upgrading to Yosemite, it appears that the swiping is far too sensitive. When I just try to scroll, I frequently end up going backward. I'm scrolling straight up or down and the little "back" arrow pops up on the screen. Sometimes I can see it and stop it before it goes backward, but this is highly frustrating when I end up going back instead of just scrolling down. (This is not 100% of the time and because it seems random, it's increasingly frustrating. If anything, it seems to happen more often during quick scrolling.)
Obviously I may not be scrolling at a perfect 0-degree angle, but I'm nowhere near 45-degrees where there might be confusion about whether I want to scroll or swipe. System Preferences has no way to adjust sensitivity or anything. Is there any fix?

Empty Caches.
1. Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Quit Safari if open.
    Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
    Select "Library" and then "Caches".
    Look for the folder 'com.apple.Safari"
    Right click "com.apple.Safari" and select "Move to Trash"
    Relaunch Safari.

1finger swiping doesnt work, can only swipe with 4 fingers How do i change this setting, 1finger swiping doesnt work, can only swipe with 4 fingers How do i change this setting

How do i change the swipe settings in my i pad mini. 1 finger swiping does not work and can only use 3 and 4 finger swiping? Thanks.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
