Does the 2 finger scrolling work or anyone?

First of all, let me just say that I really like my new macbook. At first, I was nothing but sorry that I no longer had my powerpc based powerbook. Actually, I still have it. After a week to adjust, I really like this machine, and Leopard (though I disliked it too, at first). Did you know that if your machine powers down cause it runs out of juice, when you start it back up it starts with the same screen and open programs as when it shut off?!!! One thing that does bother me is that the two finger functions are laughable at best. Also, it seems like I have to drag my finger the length of the trackpad in order to wake the pointer up after filling in information in a field like the one I'm typing in now. I won't take this laptop back and go through the hassle of moving my information for something as trivial as this, I was just wondering if there is a "break-in period" for the trackpads. Just need a little intel-based hug...

2-finger scrolling (and 2-finger tap right-click) work perfectly for me. In System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Trackpad, be sure to check Use 2 fingers to scroll. I also have Allow horizontal scrolling, Clicking, Tap trackpad using 2 fingers for secondary click, and Ignore accidental trackpad input checked. My scrolling speed is just a little toward the fast side, as is tracking speed. Double click speed is at the fast limit.
Try those settings and see if things improve for you. Good luck! It really should work without problems like the ones you describe.

  • HT203171 The two finger enlarging works sometimes and does not work other. What to do.

    Two finger zoom in and out does not work most of the time. The two finger tap does work. Why does the two finger zoom not work. Checked settings and it is on.

    It only works in some Apple applications.  For example, it works in Safari but not Firefox. 

  • I cannot get scrolling to work on DV6-6172nr. The 2 finger scroll is enabled & new drivers install

    I cannot get scrolling to work on DV6-6172nr.  The 2 finger scroll is enabled but doesn't work. I have downloaded the latest drivers and still no vertical scrolling.  This could be a deal breaker. I have only had this laptop for 2 days and if I can't resolve this issue, the laptop is going back to the store.  Please help.

    Hi,
    First, download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp54001-54500/sp54483.exe
    Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
    When this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.  You may have to check that Two Finger Scrolling is enabled in the device settings tab under Mouse.
    If this fails to correct the problem, I think I would agree with what you suggest yourself and simply return the notebook.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • Why doesn't two-finger scrolling work for me with Yosemite?

    MacBook Pro from 2010, upgraded to Yosemite and now none of my two-finger scrolling works with the Trackpad. Doesn't work on any application - Chrome, Safari, Word, anything. It's super annoying. Tried messing around with Trackpad options in system preferences, didn't help.

    Hi thekidcanada,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that this type of situation can be very frustrating. One troubleshooting step I would recommend would be to reset the PRAM on your computer. I know the article is written for Mavericks but the steps will be the same for Yosemite.

  • Just purchased an Iphone and downloaded Itunes on my desktop...now no matter what i am doing the Itunes stores keeps opening up, anyone know how I can fix this

    I just purchased an Iphone 4S and downloaded Itunes on my desktop.  Now no matter what i am doing the Itunes keeps opening open.  Anyone know how to make this stop?

    actually nevermind, it's working now. I closed iTunes, then waited a little, then double clicked one of my iTunes video files from my documents, which opened up iTunes again and the video started playing. I tried restarting iTunes before and that didn't work, so maybe for those who have similar problems, just try clicking on the video file in your documents/desktop of your computer, rather than directly from iTunes.

  • In what QOS does the receiver SOAP adapter work BE or EO?

    Hi,
    In what QOS does the receiver SOAP adapter work BE or EO?
    My guess is that it is by default EO, if so how do i make it work like synchronous?
    There is no option to set it explicitly.
    Thanks]
    Shakthi

    Siva,
    In receiving adapter you can't set the status. The receiving QOS is set in the pipeline by using the Sender Comm.channel QOS.
    So for example in SOAP to SOAP scenario, if you set the Sender comm.channel as BE, then through out the Pipeline till it reaches the Receiver Comm.channel the QOS will be considered as BE only( Even though you didn't explicitly said to the Receiver comm.channel).
    Hope it helps!

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

  • How does the DAQmx read.vi work in producer/consumer mode

    Dear all,
    I have one question: how does the DAQmx read.vi work in producer/consumer mode ? 
    I mean if i set the acquisition samples quantity is 5000,(see the enclosed picture), how does the DAQmx read.vi acquire the samples ?
    5000 samples one time ?
    And how does the write. vi work ? Also 5000 samples one time ?
    Look forward to your reply.
    Thank you.

    It will read 5000 samples per channel.
    The Write Measurement File just writes whatever you give it.  It you send it 5000 data points, it will write the 5000 data points.

  • How does the Mac App Store work?!

    Hey guys i recently posted this quesiton in a different area of the community but instead of being helped was just ridiculed for posting in the wrong place... +1 for helpfulness guys :/ lol Anyways... ive been told to ask in the development section.. I have a $9.99 app and it was sitting at 10th place in the top grossing apps a few weeks ago on the UK app store, now I noticed in the morning that it was ahead of an app which was 49.99 so i presumed that I must have sold at least 5 or 6 to be ahead of him (my idea of top grossing is quantity x price) but when itunesconnect released their reports in the afternoon it turned out that i'd only sold 1 copy.. so what im asking is basically how does the top grossing section work? and how regularly does it update? is it live? daily? etc
    Thanks in advance!

    Your rank is better than the other app because you've made a sale while they've made none. When you make a sale, you jump in the charts, and after that you slowly go down if you don't make another sale. In other words, the bottom of the charts has many apps that didn't make any sale recently. I've also noticed that if you make some sales in other countries than the current chart, that'll very slightly improve your rank.
