Gestures in Mountain Lion

Hello to everybody,
do you know if in mountain lion there is a way (without installing a third part software) to reintroduce the gestures with 4 fingers:
slide 4 fingers up=show desktop
slide 4 finger horizontally= show all the open applications (the same than cmd+tab)
Gestures with the thumb are ok on the ipad but I find them quite unconfortable on the trackpad.
Thank you in advance.

Yeah, it works for a day and then it stops working. I have to either restart the computer or uncheck and recheck every gesture. Apple needs to fix this glitch.

  • Gestures after Mountain Lion Update

    I am relatively new to Macs and Aperture (last November) and have always enjoyed using the left/right swiping gesture to move between photos in Aperture and iPhoto.
    However, since the upgrade to Mountain Lion, this left/right swiping does not seem to be working properly in Aperture. (And yes, gestures is turned on in Aperture preferences and the gesture still works fine in iPhoto.)
    Anybody else with this problem?
    Any solutions?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I just purchased a MBPro (photographer) and that was a function that was not working (very frustrating).  I re-installed Aperture - no luck.  I JUST finished RE-INSTALLING Mountain Lion (as per instructions by Apple Support - it CLEANED this thing back to zero).  After reinstalling OS, Aperture (and now all of my Adobe products need to be RE downloaded and installed... ) This was not working again.   Do I wish I'd found this post FIRST.  I go online... find this post... and I could have saved HOURS by checking 1 box.  Pardon my rant... and thank you to Locomotief for the simple fix.  I hope others find this before wasting hours trouble shooting this very simple yet frustrating 'error' - or reinstalling OS!!

  • Magic mouse gestures mountain lion

    whats happened to magic mouse gestures on mountain lion...i can't even scroll up or down a web page with my magic mouse now....

    OK.  I found the fix for the problem!
    You need to reset the PRAM and SMC...  I just did that and it completely fixed the problem.

  • Track pad Gestures stops working after upgrading to mountain lion osx

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion Osx from Snow Leopard on my Macbook pro (Mid 2011 model) last month. However, it happens so that sudden;y all kind of trackpad gestures stops working. I have tried to find options on System preferences but nothing really works. i have tried unticking and then ticking again all the options to no avail. Even though restarting machine sometimes help but not always. Are their anyone with similar problems and if it is did you manage to come out with possible soutions?? If you did please kindly share as it is quite annoying to use machine without those gestures
    Thanks in advance

    Launch Terminal, type or copy/paste the following:
    killall Dock
    Hit enter.

  • Three finger gestures not working on Mountain Lion

    Since upgrade to Mountain Lion, gestures have become unreliable. Gestures for Mission Control, switching between full screen app, etc. (which are set with three fingre swipes) work sometimes but won't work most of the time. Anyone else facing the same problem?

    I had this problem but I found it was the settings that changed when mountain lion was installed.
    Mountain lion changed my three finger gestures to four finger gestures when swiping between full screen apps.
    I found there were extra settings. Apparently when installing mountain lion my three finger gestures were changed to four finger gestures.

  • The trackpad/gestures is not working correctly on mountain lion

    Hello,
    After I have downloaded Mountain Lion, my trackpad/gestures is not working correctly.  I cannot swipe with the three fingers, etc. and have to reboot and then it works, but will eventually not work over time.  Does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I am having the same problem now.
    Was okay when first installed on date of Mountain Lion release.
    Now I have lost function in Spaces.
    Spaces would only work if I used Dock icon to move between Spaces.
    Now just run everything in one Space.

  • Why do gestures stop working after Mountain Lion update?

    I've just installed Mountain Lion on my MBP, and soon after a reboot, gestures stop working.
    Rebooting fixes this, at least temporarily. But soon afterwards I can't switch between screens with three finger swipe etc.
    Yes, gestures are enabled in preferences.
    Any clues?

    Having same issue with iMac and Magic Mouse.
    I found that Mission Control stopped working as well (even with the App shortcut in Applications) and as such found a quicker workaround than login / logout.  Open Terminal and type:
    killall Dock
    This will restart the Dock and Mission Control etc and seems to restore the gestures.
    Cheers

  • HT2490 Show Desktop" gesture query in Mountain Lion

    Can I change "Show Desktop" gesture to "swipe down with four fingers" on Mountain Lion?
    My muscle memory prefers swiping down when I'm designing and have a lot of programmes open but the Mountain Lion doesn't seem to allow me to edit this particular function. Is there away around this?
    Thanks
    Lyall

    OMG I think this is a major oversight.
    It was a major step up from Leopard that the four finger swipe brought up the heads-up screen and Desktop. Now the only way to see all apps open is command-Tab. 
    Agreed the thumb-three finger,  not only awkward  does not work 50% of the time,  making it much harder to get to the Desktop.  This is something you do all the time ! Back to fn-F11 or conveniently control-click missioncontrol icon on the Dock.
    MissionControl ?  Not so useful if you can not access the open and hidden files, what where they thinking??? three finger, four finger, Dock icon why all those options at the expense of the most useful in a day today day work machine.
    Hopefully they can modify the TrackPad preferences in a future update to bring these most functional gestures back!

  • Multi touch gestures not working in mountain lion?

    Any one else having problems with their multi gesture trackpad not working when you wake your notebook from sleeping with Mountain Lion? If I restart it fixes it but once it falls asleep it stops working again.

    I've been having the same problem.  When my MBP would wake from sleep any touch gestures that used more than two fingers would not work.  I also had the issue where the MBP would forget the wireless network when it woke from sleep.  I found this answer on another thread and it worked on both issues for me.

  • Track pad gestures fail in Mountain Lion

    I just installed Mountain Lion and I'm having occasional problems with the trackpad. Out of nowhere the gestures such as expose, all application screens, etc. fail to work. Even the hot corners don't work. I've typed "killall Dock" into the terminal, and that fixes it, but it's annoying to have to do that. Is there an update out yet? This is kind of a drag.

    There is already a larger thread here about the same problem. If there is a fix, it should be posted here.

  • Tab View in Safari 6 on Mountain Lion is not activating with the Pinch Gesture.

    The pinch gesture that activates Tab View in Safari 6 is not working. I have the latest MacBook Pro 17" with an updated Mountain Lion OS.
    Everything else in Safari works fine, even the keyboard shortcut for Tab View works. Whether I pinch on my laptop trackpad or the standalone trackpad the pinch gesture doesn't activate the new Tab View feature.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Sorry but what is the keyboard shortcut to activate tab view? KineticBranding, you said, "Everything else in Safari works fine, even the keyboard shortcut for Tab View works. " I've been looking everywhere for a keyboard alternative to the pinch out gesture that activates tab view. I am aware of cmd+shft+arrow to got left or right a tab, but is there a shortcut to activate tab view?
    Thank you.

  • Mountain Lion kills bluetooth, trackpad gestures

    I have latest gen iMac.   After Mountain Lion upgrade.   No bluetooth is available though my keyboard and trackpad connect.   Keyboard acts generics with no top row keys working and trackpad has lost gestures.  Machine does see a trackpad in system prefs.
    Is this release garbage??? 

    Okay, I just found another thread that solved it for me.
    Go to this thread and on the second page near the bottom you'll find a thread by joe81tx. Even though my "Disable automatic login" box was already unchecked and I couldn't find anything about name and password, and I figured that it wasn't going to work ... it did.
    I hope it works for you.

  • Trackpad gestures mountain lion

    Hi
    I've installed Mountain Lion, and am now finding that the trackpad gestures are working in the opposite direction to how they were previously!
    Is anyone aware of this issue?
    Any advice much appreciated.
    thanks.

    nah not in mountain lion its changed now. To get scrolling to invert untick the check box at the top with the description "When using gestures to scroll or navigate, move content in the direction of finger movement" under the trackpad settings.
    They could've just described it simply as "Invert scroll direction" would've been much clearer

  • My gestures aren't working now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion

    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my gestures for Notifications, Launch Pad, Mission Control, ect.. aren't working. They worked the first day but have been pretty sporadic lately. Today and yesteryday none of the gestures have worked at all. I can use the touch pad to move the cursor and touch to click, but everything else is very much a no go. Checked the settings like a hundred times and verified they are all indeed turned on. NEVER had the problem in Lion.Thinking about a Genius Bar Appt, but am afraid they will magically work when I try to demonstrate the problem. As I've said, this has been mostly sporadic.
    Thanks.
