Gestures stopped working

I am using both magic mouse and trackpad.  (still trying to decide if I like the trackpad.) I have been using both for about a month, but just in the last few days pretty much all of the multi-touch gestures have quit working on both. They will not scroll or swipe.

This may work...  I have a similiar problem, it happens every few days, but if I go in and deselct all the gestures in system preferences, and then re-check them all and restart my coputer, they all start working again.
This started happening on my Mac Mini after I upgraded recently, still searching for a permanent solution.

  • 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.

  • Multi-touch gestures stop working?

    Apple, there is an annoying bug in Mountain Lion that needs to be fixed.  Sometimes when we wake our computers from sleep, multi-touch gestures stop working.  The problem is related to the Dock.  Restarting the dock by typing "killall Dock" into Terminal and hitting return provides a temporary resolution, but the problem will eventually return.  There are several other posts in this forum and others.  Seems like there should be an easy fix to what is the only complaint I currently have with your new operating system.
    Thanks.

  • 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

  • Trackpad Gestures stop working after screen sleep on OS 10.9.2 update

    Trackpad Gestures stop working after screen sleep after OS 10.9.2 update.  Anybody know why?  Is there a process I can stop or reboot in the Activity monitor to refresh this?  These gestures include launch pad, mission control and full screen swipes.  Annoying.

    Same problem same version. On a MB Air. I have every gesture turned on. When this happens I have same problem on Magic Trackpad and my MB Trackpad. If I quit the app part of the gestures come back but then stop again. The worst is scrolling. This one is a show stopper and always require quit and relaunch.

  • Zoom-in, zoom-out pinch gesture stopped working a few days ago for no apparent reason.

    Zoom-in, zoom-out pinch gesture stopped working a few days ago for no apparent reason. I went to Preferences>Gestures, turned off the selection, turned it on again, rebooted, etc. HELP. Any suggestions?

    Try Settings>General>Siri>Off. Restart the phone then go back and turn Siri on again. It can take a few minutes for Siri to totally activate again.

    Exposé just stopped working, both the key on the keyboard and the multitouch gesture gets no response. Does anyone have any idea why, or how to solve it?

    I found a way to fix it. Simply restart the dock by using "killall Dock" in the terminal.

  • Swipe gestures stop working intermittently

    I've noticed since iOS 8.1 on my iPad mini that swipe gesture to close an app stops working intermittently. I've found some workarounds (Settings > turn multitasking gestures off, then back on and swiping the notification screen down then back up) that will 'reset' the fault, but its getting VERY frustrating. Anyone got the definitive answer?

  • Multitouch Gestures Stop working after some time in Mountain Lion

    I have a problem with Multitouch Gestures on Macbook Pro, using Mountain Lion. After some time 3 thinger swipe to left/right stops working. The only thing that helps to solve this problem is making a restart. Are there any other ways to get rid of this problem?

    Me too. My iMac and MBP same here. Having graphics glitches when playing games neither in Mac or Bootcamp with Windows. Sometimes screen even slashed into half and freezed. Wake up from sleep also have graphics issues, like I need to use the crusor to oaint out the grey login screen, if not, it will stay white. Slowly moving the crusor will paint back the grey background.

  • Multi gesture and tap-to-click stopped working on Logitech touchpad

    I have a Logitech TK820 that has been working great until I did a upgrade for about one week ago. Now multi gesture stopped working completely and also tap-to-click doesnt work.
    Does anyone have any clue on what I can do to get it working again.
    Thanks

    hi,
    thanks for your reply.  i haven't had time to deal with this issue since i wrote about it in october.
    i found the 'properties' window for the touchpad mouse but there is no reset button.  i continue to have this issue and it is becoming more frequent although i have not been able to identify what triggers the sudden shut down of the tap-to-click function.
    but something new has cropped up: when the tap-to-click stops working, the next time i tap the touchpad, the pointer goes to the Start button!  this happens every time.  i don't know that anything is different?
    any further pointers (forgive the pun) would be most welcome!

  • Multi-touch trackpad gestures not working (Macbook pro 15" unibody)

    Hi,
    I have a 5 day old Macbook Pro and since yesterday ive been having an intermittent fault with the 3 and 4 finger gestures on the track pad. They stop working and don't even work on restart. the computer needs to be shutdown then turned on again for it to work. When it wasn't working, i created a new user account and switched to that and it worked fine, when i switched back to my account it carried on working fine as well. I do have parallels installed with windows xp but use that rarely and the problem hasn't occurred when i have that on (only reason i mention is is that i noticed the fault a few hours after installing parallels). One of the times the problem occurred is when the computer came out of standby.
    Is this a software issue or hardware issue? Does apple know about it and are they making a fix?
    Thanx!!

    That's really bizarre! I've been experiencing the same problems. Today my three/four finger multitouch gestures stopped working altogether! Nothing seemed to resolve the problem (restart, shut down, etc).I did however follow your advice of creating a new user account and logging in to see if multitouch works...low and behold, it worked! I then logged off and signed back into my primary user account and multitouch continued to work! This must be a software issue (I'm guessing). I just deleted the temporary user account and everything seems to be working fine. I set up a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow - I'll see if they have any further suggestions.
    Thanks!

    F1 & F2 (Brightness) F5 & F6 (Backlight) F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 they work fine except for f3 and f4
