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.

    I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
    So here's what I done so far:
    tried resetting PRAM - No success
    Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
    Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
    Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
    Tried booting from safe mode - no success
    Tried the command line boot - no success.
    Please someone help!

    Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
    Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
    Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
    I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

  • Adesso wireless mouse doesn't work in Mountain Lion.

    My Bluetooth  Adesso iMouse S100 doesn't work in Mountain Lion. It barely moves and constantly halts as if its driver is continuously interrupted. It is unusable. It worked beautifully in Snow Leopard.
    I don't believe the problem is in the mouse, but just for completeness the batteries are full strength. The Bluetooth control panel signal  strength for the mouse ranges from -50 to -48, which may be low but I'm  pretty sure was the same in Snow Leopard.
    Has anyone experienced and have a fix for this problem?
    Thanks.

    A mouse pad solved the problem. The Ikea Lack table I'm using is the source of the problem. Its table top surface is apparently scattering the mouse's laser and not reflecting it back properly. I have not experienced this problem with any other table I've used, wood, Formica, et al.

  • Canon CAPT 355 doesn't work for Mountain Lion

    SInce I installed Mountain Lion onto my MacBookPro I can't print to my Canon LBP5050N. I've install CAPT 355 that Canon claims will work for Mountain Lion but it doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling all my older driver and installing CAPT 355 but that doesn't work either.

    The ccpd.conf file is still

  • Ctrl + numbers switch between spaces doesn't work in lion

    After a fresh install of Lion I'veexperienced strange behavior in mission control. I copied all my apps,documents, settings, etc. from SL to Lion but I noticed something different in Lion. Before I changed spaces by using ctrl+number-keys but for some reasonthis doesn’t work in Lion for me. It does nothing. When I hold down ctrl anduse the arrow-key it scrolls to the next space with a smooth animation. Afterthis and still holding the ctrl-key and pressing a number-key (3 for instance)it does jump to that space with a faster animation. But after releasing thectrl-key and trying it again without any arrow keys involved it doesn’t work atall. Is there anyone hew is experiencing the same problem? Anyone with a possibleexplanation or a way to solve this issue? I’m wondering if this has somethingto do with the clean install because my father did an upgrade from SL to Lionand ctrl+number-keys to switch between spaces works fine for him.
    Thanks in advance,

    Go to the Keyboard preference pane -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Mission Control and check to see if you have the ^ + number keys set.

  • HP 3052 scanner doesn't work with Mountain Lion

    So I upgraded MacBook Air to Mountain Lion and everything seems fine except I can't use scanner function on my HP 3052 AiO. The printer still prints OK but I can't see scanner anymore.
    Can anybody help me?

    Hi,
    I affraid scanning is no longer supported for your product while using Mountain Lion, actually the same applies for any Mac OS X version starting from 10.6.
    You may find this information stated in here:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03411613 #A2
    You may try using an earlier software version (The latest version intended for 10.5), however it is not assured to work and you may try it at your own risk.
    In order to install the previous software you may try following the workaround below:
    Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan, select the LaserJet 3052 printer and click the Minus sign to remove it.
    Download the Mac OS 10.5 software below by clicking the download button:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en &cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1140784&swItem=ma-58935-1&prodNameId=114077 9&swEnvOID=219&swLang=8&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0
    Follow the installation by skipping the Setup Assistant till the installation will finish.
    Perform the following steps in order to provide the Setup Assistant the right permissions to complete on Mountain Lion:
    Open Terminal from the Utilities folder
    Type “sudo “ (with space) in the Terminal.
    Locate the HP Setup Assistant in folder Applications/HP LaserJet Software
    Right-click (or CTRL+Left click) the HP Setup Assistant and choose “Show Package Contents”.
    Open the “Contents” folder and then click “MacOS” folder. It should contain the Unix Executable File of HP Setup Assistant.
    Drag the HP Setup Assistant (Unix Executable File) into the Terminal and press enter.
    Terminal will ask for the password of the user.
    After writing the password press Enter Button.
    Now follow the Setup Assistant Steps to complete the installation.
    Good luck,
    Shlomi

  • IWeb 3.0.4 Site Doesn't Work in Mountain Lion

    I am running iWeb 3.0.4 on OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). When I open iWeb and select a site (which uses the black theme), all I see is a blank gray box where the page used to appear. The YouTube videos I put on the page are there, but none of the text and background shows. I went to the Theme menu to try and re-apply the theme, but it is grayed out in the list and nothing changes in the box when I select a different theme.
    Is this a permissions issue or something else happening? I have looked for a com.apple.iweb.plist file in my Library > Application Support folder but nothing is there. I really need to access this site to make updates and/or to port it to another software package that is supported.
    Any idease are welcome. Thank you for your help.

    You were looking the wrong library. The library you want is invisible in Lion and Mt Lion.  However the following will let you make it visible again:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Once it's visible use the app below to select and open the domain file to work on:
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Mobile Datastick HUAWEI E1221 doesn't work with Mountain Lion!

    After updating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I have noticed that my mobile datastick doesn't work. The stick is recognized as virtual disc and I can only install the install.pkg. Then happens nothing. No window opens (as before). How can I connect to the internet now? Will there be new drivers for the E1221 or do I have to get another one? And if yes, which is supported by 10.8?

  • Hover event doesn't work on mountain lion

    I just upgraded to mountain lion and have one MAJOR issue. Any hover event doesn't work.
    This includes the dock animations, hover on context menus, buttons in certain apps (noticable in minecraft a lot, so it affects java), and hot corners don't work either.
    Anyone else experience this issue and have it solved?
    I tried resetting the PRAM and it fixed it, for like 5 minutes, so not a great fix.

    I tore my hair out over the same issue. Based on SaitoLux's suggestion, I decided to try deleting and reinstalling the prefs panel for my Logitech mice (Logitech Control Center).
    Success!
    If you've got this problem and you have a non-Apple mouse driver installed, try deleting and reinstalling. Can't explain why it worked, but happy it did.

  • Safari doesn't work with Mountain Lion

    I have installed OS X Mountain Lion. Now Safari and Apple Store doesn't work anymore. :-( What can I do? I've tried to Install Safari again but the problem is always the same!

    Generally this will solve it, you can also try repairing permissions, once in a while it will help as well:
    Repair your permissions.  Go to applications then to the "other" folder then go to disk utility, on the left hand side you will see a white box.  Select the second option, usually called "mac HD" with that selected click on "repair permissions" in the center towards the bottom of the screen.  Wait for it to complete, then see if this fixes the issue.
