Cannot zoom in Safari using the trackpad

Hi,
I have got a MacBook Pro 13" 2011 with OSX Lion, and I've got a problem using my trackpad in safari : I can zoom once or twice, and after it doesn't zoom anymore. I can do all others multi-touch gestures...
Thanks

I haven't had this problem for a while, but it occurred once yesterday (fixed with double-click-to-zoom twice) and today in my first attempt of using Safari after upgrading to 10.7.2!! (And despite the fact that I've disabled pinch-to-zoom in the preference pane) And this last time I couldn't fix it with a double click, I had to close and reopen the tab with the "frozen page" in it.

Organizer 12 - how to: zoom over 100%, use the Trackpad, compare images?

English Version below.
Hallo zusammen. Ich bin von Apple Aperture auf PSE 12 gewechselt. Nun habe ich meine 11500 Fotos im Organizer und ein paar Startschwierigkeiten.
Ich habe in den Voreinstellungen angegeben, dass man Fotos auf über 100% skalieren darf. Das funktioniert aber nicht. Fotos werden immer nur im Fenster eingepasst, wenn der Zoomhebel ganz nach rechts steht.
Einzig in der Vollbildansicht kann man über 100% skalieren. Dies funktioniert aber auch, wenn ich die Voreinstellung dazu nicht gesetzt habe.
ie vergleiche ich mehrere Bilder? Im Handbuch steht beschrieben, dass man dazu aus dem Menü Ansicht -> Bilder Vergleichen wählen soll. Diesen Menüpunkt gibt es bei mir nicht.
Auch bei dem Druck auf F12 geschieht bei mir nichts. Kann ich die Tastenfunktionen irgendwo neu zuweisen?
Zu guter Letzt: kann ich die Zoom & Pinch Funktion des Magic Trackpads irgendwie einschalten? Das vermisse ich sehr. Da war Aperture sehr Bedienerfreundlich.

Hi there. I switched from Apple Aperture to PSE 12. Now I have my 11500 photos in the Organizer and a few teething problems.
I have specified in the preferences that you can resize photos to over 100%. This does not work. Photos are always fitted only in the window when the zoom lever is all the way to the right.
Only in the full-screen view you can scale over 100%. However, this also works if I have not set the setting in the preferences.
How do I compare multiple images? The manual describes to select from the View menu -> Compare images. This menu item does not exist for me. (German Version)
Also by pressing F12, nothing happens. Can I re-assign the button functions somewhere?
Last but not least: How can I use the zoom & pinch from the Magic Trackpad? I 'm missing that very much. Aperture was very user friendly with that.

You cannot zoom in on an more that fitting the screen space will looking at images in the Organizer's image well. This size may be much smaller than 100%.
There is no preference to "resize photos to over 100%".
There is also not a Compare option in the View menu.
To do either of these options (from the Organizer) you have to be in the Full Screen mode. From here, you can use the mouse wheel (or trackpad) to zoom up to 1600%. You can also compare images by selecting the Side-by-Side or Top/Bottom display from the "View" Options button on the Full Screen options bar.
To use the F-keys, you have to add the Command key, so Command+F12 will open the Full Screen Mode in side-by-side compare view.
If you purchased Photoshop Elements as a replacement for Aperture, there are a lot of differences that you will have to adjust to. Photoshop Elements and Aperture are hardly complementary applications. If you were looking for something like Aperture, you should try Lightroom instead.

Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

I have a MacBook. In previous versions of Firefox I could zoom in or out using my trackpad. Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Tap to drag select by whole words using the Trackpad!

I figured out that there is an easy way to drag select by whole words using the Trackpad... just put your mouse over the word you want to start the selection from and ...
tap, pause, tap, tap
... or another way to say it might be ...
tap, double tap
I find this method almost 100% reliable, it's effortless to get the timing right.
Being able to do this now removes the only thing that I've missed about a mouse since switching to the trackpad.
Yay!

On the trackpad, after double tapping to select a word, you cannot drag to continue selecting more words. And if you triple tap, it selects the entire paragraph. If you double tap to select a word, pause and tap-drag, the selection doesn't change with your dragging. If you double tap to select a word, pause, and double-tap-drag, it starts a drag/drop operation using the original selection.
The method I described allows you to accomplish with a trackpad, the operation that mouse users take for granted - double click/drag to select a word and drag to select more words.
As far as I know, the technique I posted at the top is not widely known. At least I didn't turn up anything with my google searching and have used this trackpad for almost a year without knowing about this trick.
FYI - my trackpad "Point & Click" settings are:
tap to click
secondary click is tap with two fingers
3 finger drag disabled

Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. How do I enable this?

I am trying to make edits to a website for our company. Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. Instead, I have to use control+c and control+v which doesn't always work. How do I enable the feature to be able to use the icons?

Are those toolbar buttons grayed?
Do the entries in the Edit menu look enabled if there is text selected or text on the clipboard?

Cannot attach multiple photos using the ' Message ' option iOS 5.0.1 in ' Photos ' app.

Since i have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 i cannot attach multiple photos using the ' Message ' option in the ' Photos ' app.
i browse my photos and then select ' Message ' on a photo. i am then able to attach the first image to the message.
When i then select the Camera icon on the created message to add another image , either ' Choose existing ' or ' Take Photo or Video ' , it does nothing and takes you back to your existing message.
I am able to attach multiple images when accessing the iMessage app it is just from the Photos app it is occuring
is anyone else having the same issue ?

In Finder , why i can't go back and forward using the trackpad in Mountain Lion?

In Finder , why i can't go back and forward using the trackpad in Mountain Lion?

Hi. I also got the same problem but just learnt a way to resolve it. No need for 3rd party software.
If you don't care much about the Three finger drag gesture, and just want to swipe between pages in Finder and web browsers, please follow these:
System Preferences/Trackpad/More gestures/Swipe between pages/Scroll left or right with 2 fingers. This option works solely for web browsers.
In order to swipe between pages in Finder, web browsers and other apps as well,change the option to Swipe with two or three fingers. (3 for Finder and apps, 2 for web pages)
If you also want to use Three-finger drag to move windows and drag-select:
The problem occurs once you change to "Swipe with 2 or three fingers", Lion will automatically disable/uncheck the Three finger drag function in Trackpad/Point&Click. Or the other way around, you tick Three Finger drag, Swipe between pages automatically switches to Scroll with two fingers because these 2 functions are overlapped.
My solution is:
stick with initial option Scroll with two fingers for navigating between web pages.
Re-tick Three finger drag in Point&Click.
Use combination: Option+Swipe 4 fingers for Finder and other apps (although it functions reversely, Swiping left to go backward, swipe right to go forward)
My current gesture routine:
- Swipe between web pages: Scroll with two fingers.
- Swipe between pages in Finder and other apps: Combination Option+swipe 4 fingers
- Swipe between full-screen apps (desktops): Swipe left or right with 4 fingers
- Drag select and navigate windows: Three finger drag
- Mission Control - Swipe up with 4 fingers. (avoid conflict with three finger drag)
* You can actually use combination Option+Swipe 4 fingers for everything (apps, finder, web pages) but I personally prefer swipe 2 fingers for web browsing. It's just easier and quicker and avoid conflicts with other gestures.
Hope this help.

I reset a Linksys extender, when I try to navigate Safari using The Linksys network, a Box askin for username And password pops out. What is this about?

Ask Linksys. If you reset the extender it presumably lost the username and password it was supposed to service. I'd just supply the name and password and move on.

Do you feel a tingling sensation in your fingers when you use the trackpad?

I know it sounds like a stupid question...but recently i've been finding more and more i'm feeling a tingling sensation around my fingers when i use my trackpad. Just a few moment ago, my hand was resting on my trackpad(not something that happens often) in any event, my entire hand started to feel like it was getting an electric shock of some kind. I pulled it back real fast.
I'm just wondering has anyone else ever experienced this kind of tingling sensation when using the trackpad?
Thanks

This is indeed noticable, at least to discerning individuals, both on the track pad and on the casing.
I usually call it 'the Roland feeling', as the metal casing of old Roland musical keyboards from this manufacturer had an extremely pronounced 'tingle' to the touch. In the case of Roland, their engineers had not properly understood the concept of grounding. They actually connected the casing via two resistors to both the power outlet phase and ground!
This made the entire case 'float' electrically at 110 V AC in Europe (half the voltage). This sounds dangerous, but it's not the voltage that kills, it's the current, and a voltage connected through a high-ohm resistor can't drive much current through your body. So, while very noticable, to the point of almost making your fingers feel numb, the Roland feeling was never a threat to the player's life.
'The PowerBook feeling' is **extremely** subtle in comparison.
What does it all mean then?
1. The PowerBook casing has a leakage path to an AC voltage source. This leakage path has very high ohmage, and is absolutely nothing to worry about. Don't be too angry at Apple either, because leakage paths are almost impossible to avoid, and it's only the cool aluminium package that makes you notice it. You wouldn't want to trade it for plastic, right?
2. Human fingertips are actually extremely sensitive to electric current! Who would have thunk?
Unplug the power brick, and you'll see that this effect is gone, as the voltage must be AC. A DC voltage of high ohmage will quickly level itself out.

Cannot create a server using the selected type

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate tomcat 6.0 with Eclipse. But when I try to add Tomcatv6.0 Server,
it is sowing an error message " Cannot create a server using the selected type ".
Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks in advance

In order to solve the problem you need to
* close eclipse
* go to ~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
* remove the files org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs and org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs
* solve the problem with the permissions of the policy files or the personal instance of tomcat6
* start eclipse
In order to be able to use the tomcat6 server the proper solution is to have a personal instance of the tomcat6 server as described in the section "Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances" of the file RUNNING.txt (and the problems that have been reported about this ;-) )
My configuration: Debian/Sid, Eclipse 3.4.1. Ganymede

Can I stop the Finder icons from changing size while I use the Trackpad?

Very frustrating:
Often when I touch my trackpad and I'm in finder the icons/folders get very small! Have to go back to "Finder" then "View" amd "show view options" to reset them to 48x48.
Is there a way to lock the change of their sizes (but still use the trackpad for touch sensitive stuff)?

System Preferences>Trackpad. Uncheck Pinch to Open and Close.

Whenever I zoom in or out using the trackpad I cannot re do this task without restarting Safari.

Whenever I try to make a website bigger or smaller by "pinching" the trackpad I get stuck on that new size. The only way for me to change the size is to restart Safari. Is this a bug?

Scrambled display when I use the trackpad to scroll up and down in Safari

Whenever I use two fingers to scroll up and down in Safari, the display gets scrambled. It gets worse, the faster I scroll. The nature of the distortion is that sections of the display are duplicated horizontally which "covers up" the section where the duplication takes place. This does not happen when I scroll up and down using the arrow keys, or if I scroll with the arrows on the right side of the browser window.
Another thing I have noticed is that some videos I watch online have intermittent white sections flashing in.

It is certain that some people are having problems, all I can confirm is that my 2.0GHz MacBook does not seem to have this problem.
However, after having looked at this thread and another link it seems that a lot of the posts about problems are coming from users of the MacBook Pros and the 2.4GHz MacBooks. Thus, this makes me wonder if the CPU speed might have something to do with this issue. Along with the CPU another issue might be heat (which would seem to be a greater concern with both the MacBook Pro and the 2.4GHz MacBook) and whether the affected systems are equipped with more than 2GB DRAM and whether than DRAM is third-party or from Apple (i.e. these problems could be caused by issues with the DRAM).
Of course, no one can yet say where the problems may be but system "overheating" and/or DRAM could be involved. When I write "overheating" I'm not suggesting user abuse, just that this may be a temperature sensitive issue.
For the record my MacBook has all of the latest firmware, trackpad, and system updates and is the standard 2.0GHz model with Apple-issued 2GB DRAM and 160GB HD. Below is my hardware overview from Apple's System Profiler:

I have a macbook and I use the trackpad to zoom in some windows. On the new version of firefox, this option appears to be disabled. How can I enable it again? thanks

the option is called "pinch open and close".

When you try to use the Mac side on your external monitor do you get a blank screen or do you see the aurora background?
It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
