Four-finger swipe constantly stops working

I'm running Snow Leopard on my 27" iMac with a Magic Trackpad, and the four-finger swipe Expose gesture regularly stops working, which two and three-finger gestures continue to work fine.
Sometimes a reboot will fix the problem, other times I can reboot two or three times before four-finger swipe works again. I've used the trackpad since it was released with no issues until a month or two ago when the problem started.
I've installed the latest combo update, repaired disk permissions many times over, reset PRAM and SMC, deleted a plist file pertaining to Expose which someone on the forum recommended. Nothing has helped as of yet.
When 10.7 Lion is released I'll do a full and fresh install which should finally take care of things, but until then I'd love to get this working without having to reinstall 10.6.
Thanks for any help.

Four finger swipe not working on iPad

The four finger swipe feature to switch between open apps is not working on my iPad. How can I restore this feature?

Your tagline say that you are running iOS 4.2. It doesn't Work in iOS 4.2. you need to upgrade to iOS 5 if you want that feature. You need to update via iTunes on a computer for this update. After you update to iOS 5, you can do future updates OTA via WiFi.

Four finger swipe shows screenshot of last session

A bit confusing to explain so I'll give an example. I'd written out out a note in the Notes app, then deleted the note and closed the app. Then later when I opened up Notes again and did the four-finger swipe to close something, I could see a small screenshot of the deleted note like it had 'remembered' the last screen it was on. This happens with all apps and the internet, meaning that when I scroll through open apps, sometimes I get a miniature glimpse of whatever email I was last writing or whoever's Facebook page I was last on, even though the app has since been closed and reopened.
Any way to solve this?

Unfortunately I misread G3Gators answer. I read the article now please read my demonstration to show the difference between open and closed apps
1 Turn the camera on. Double tap the home button. Notice the camera app has a live picture. That is a open app.
2 Turn the camera on. Single tap the home button. Wait a second. Double tap the home button. The camera app preview has a fuzzy picture. That app is closed.
3 Turn camera on. Double tap the home button, once again the camera is live. Tap one of the other app previews to open another app. Wait 10 seconds. Double tap the home button. The camera app preview is now black. Even though the camera was purposely left on the ipad turned it off. That app needless to say is closed.
Why do you need a history of the apps you used ? Your original question was why were you seeing apps you had used. What you were seeing was the history, not running apps.

Four Finger Swipe to Desktop

Has anyone figured out how to revert the four finger swipe up to see the desktop? I've been using that for years and with Mavericks I cannot. I would like to have four finger swip up for show desktop, and swipe down for expose. It's destroyed my producitivty for that feature.

You can show the desktop with a three-finger spread if it is enabled here:
System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures > check Show Desktop
or
Commant+F3 (Command+F3+fn depening on your settings)
You can also program your own custom gestures with BetterTouchTool

Four finger swipe produces black screen

I have just discovered that a four finger swipe upward produces a black screen. Is there any news about this happening.

I just upgraded to iOS 6.1 and am experiencing this problem. It doesn't seem to affect anything else but I don't remember seeing this "extra" screen before. I tried restoring it to no avail. I have an iPad 2 32GB.
Anyone have any ideas?

Finger print recognition stops working after a few uses with IOS 8

Why does my finger print recognition stop working on my IP6 and IOS 8.1.2 after a few uses. I re-enter finger prints and it stops working again after a few uses.

No one here would know. What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?
Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

Magic Trackpad - 2 finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail - works in Safari

Hi,
I've been happily using a Magic Trackpad for a couple of years but just recently the two finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail. It still works fine in other apps eg Safari so this seems like a very odd problem ie I can't imagine you can configure it to work in one app and not another! Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob

Thank you merleau. I had the very same problem and found your solution perfect. This helped me tremedously.

Three finger swipe in finder works intermitently

I'm confused slightly. I've got the the generation of MBA just before the new one that came out today with 4GB of RAM 13.3".
I upgraded to OSX Lion today and noticed that sometimes, when switching back to finder, the three finger swipe to go FWD or BCK doesn't work at all. I have to scroll up or down then left or right.
I'm hoping the OS just needs refined a little because it also seems like some of the window animations are choppy as well. Surely this upgrade hasn't made my three month old laptop obsolete.

Ya, I don't know what's causing it. It happens to me sometimes as well. It'll be working just fine and dandy, and then out of nowhere, it decides to stop working for a while or until I restart/logout and in.

Four-Finger Swipe - HOLD Desktop

Does anyone know how to use the four-finger up swipe to show and hold the desktop so that you can see the desktop AND work on it? Currently when I show the desktop (using 4-finger up swipe) as soon as I click on the desktop, all open windows/apps revert back to their original place, covering the desktop. The only way I've found to use the desktop via the 4-finger up swipe is by doing the swipe twice- swipe up once, click desktop, desktop goes away, swipe up again, click on desktop - work on desktop. This double process is annoying and cumbersome when you're trying to "fly".
Does anyone know how to do this, differently then described above? Is there anyway to make this an option (e.g., cmd + 4 up swipe)? Does anyone know what I am talking about?
Thanks, Andy
PS: I use PathFinder...is it in there somewhere?

What you describe is not what happens here... I can click all I want on the desktop or icons on the desktop without having all the windows swoop back in. It's supposed to work the way you describe wanting it to work. Try logging in to another account on the same machine or [starting up in Safe Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455] and see if the problem persists then.

3 and 4 finger swipes no longer working along with pinch and rotate gesture

Hi, thanks in advance for your help.
I have the new aluminum unibody macbook pro. It has had absolutely no problems until now the 3 and 4 finger swipe gestures no longer work on the trackpad, as well as pinching to resize photos in Preview or the two finger rotate gesture.
I have tried unchecking all of the trackpad gestures that were not working then restarting and rechecking them, as well as unchecking all of them, restarting, and rechecking all.
The only gestures working right now are the two finger scroll and two finger double click tap.
These problems are in all of my applications, including Safari, Preview, and Finder as well as Firefox and Chrome. They just don't work anymore, system-wide.
Any guidance on what to do would be most appreciated. I really miss using the gestures to go backward and forward on webpages.

Hi demondragon6,
have a look at http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10423187-263.html for a useful "trackpad issue how-to".
Several people with this problem appear to have resolved your particular issue by removing the .GlobalPreferences.USER-UUID.plist file - see the link for instructions.
It is certainly worth trying a PRAM and SMC reset, as Roger suggests, first though.
Cheers
Rod

Four fingers swipe won't work on magic trackpad

Hello,
just bought a magic trackpad to use with my macbook pro and a second display. Mainly, I purchased the accessory for the four fingers swipe between full screen apps and it doesn't work.
If I change the command to a 3 fingers swipe, it does work, but then, I can't use the 3 fingers drag.
Any solution ?

This solved everything :

Just turn off every gesture settings and put them back on. Works fine now!

Four Finger Swipe Lands on Black Screen

Hi,
Gestures are working fine on my iPad 3rd Gen but while i use 4-finger-swipe to switch between apps i always end up with a blank (black) screen at the end of all apps open. Also, if i don't swipe back to an open app within 2 secs, i'm automatically pushed to the homescreen. Help

I just upgraded to iOS 6.1 and am experiencing this problem. It doesn't seem to affect anything else but I don't remember seeing this "extra" screen before. I tried restoring it to no avail. I have an iPad 2 32GB.
Anyone have any ideas?

3 Finger Swipe Feature doesnt work with Windows 7?

Good Evening
I've read a thread about this feature for Mac. But does this also work for 7 Trackpad Users?
I've got a 2 years old Toshiba Notebook and use newest Synaptics Driver. It support 3 finger tap and swipe fuctions - both working great. 3 Finger swipe up/down only in a few apps.
What about ff?

You can check the value of the corresponding <b>browser.gesture</b> prefs on the about:config page to see if they have a value.
