How can I go back and forward on a webbrowser using trackpad?

Hello
I upgraded my os with Lion.
in the fore version, I could use three fingers to go back and forware on the webbrowser,
but now I can't.
I can't find any options in any pages.
I think that was very useful..
How can I do it again?

Hi Hyok:
Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures and make sure you have "Swipe between pages" checked. You can set it for 2 or 3 fingers or 3 fingers only.
The other thing to keep in mind is that, in Lion, the swipe direction will be reversed from Snow Leopard. In other words, to swipe back a page in Safari, you will need to swipe towards the right instead of the left. This mimics the finger movements of the iPad and is more true to what you would do if the page was a physical object and you were moving it out of the way. It could be that you already have this box checked but aren't swiping the right direction to go backwards.
I highly recommend giving this new swiping technique a chance, as I have found it an improvement over the old way. It took me about a week to get used to it. If you try it and really don't like it, you can go to the "Scroll and Zoom" tab in Trackpad preferences and deselect "Scroll direction: Natural".
Hope this helps.

    Is this about Firefox on a desktop computer as your user agent would suggest (the thread is tagged as Firefox OS)?
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
    *Firefox menu button > Options
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

  • In Finder , why i can't go back and forward using the trackpad in Mountain Lion?

    In Finder , why i can't go back and forward using the trackpad in Mountain Lion?

    Hi. I also got the same problem but just learnt a way to resolve it. No need for 3rd party software.
    If you don't care much about the Three finger drag gesture, and just want to swipe between pages in Finder and web browsers, please follow these:
    System Preferences/Trackpad/More gestures/Swipe between pages/Scroll left or right with 2 fingers. This option works solely for web browsers.
    In order to swipe between pages in Finder, web browsers and other apps as well,change the option to Swipe with two or three fingers. (3 for Finder and apps, 2 for web pages)
    If you also want to use Three-finger drag to move windows and drag-select:
    The problem occurs once you change to "Swipe with 2 or three fingers", Lion will automatically disable/uncheck the Three finger drag function in Trackpad/Point&Click. Or the other way around, you tick Three Finger drag, Swipe between pages automatically switches to Scroll with two fingers because these 2 functions are overlapped.
    My solution is:
    stick with initial option Scroll with two fingers for navigating between web pages.
    Re-tick Three finger drag in Point&Click.
    Use combination: Option+Swipe 4 fingers for Finder and other apps (although it functions reversely, Swiping left to go backward, swipe right to go forward)
    My current gesture routine:
    - Swipe between web pages: Scroll with two fingers.
    - Swipe between pages in Finder and other apps: Combination Option+swipe 4 fingers
    - Swipe between full-screen apps (desktops): Swipe left or right with 4 fingers
    - Drag select and navigate windows: Three finger drag
    - Mission Control - Swipe up with 4 fingers. (avoid conflict with three finger drag)
    * You can actually use combination Option+Swipe 4 fingers for everything (apps, finder, web pages) but I personally prefer swipe 2 fingers for web browsing. It's just easier and quicker and avoid conflicts with other gestures.
    Hope this help.

  • How can I switch back and forth from Classic to Tiger

    How can I switch back and forth from OS9.2.2 to Tiger without restarting? I want Classic as my startup system.

    I think that the number of clicks to open a file is a rather shortsighted way to compare two operating systems.<<</div>
    Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse ME!
    I happen to think it's a pain to click twice on files when I'm used to clicking just once.
    But Tiger is a nice operating system. I enjoy that it has much more capabilities than the OS9. I mean, Tiger keeps up with the advancing internet. My beef is really against OS9. I can open OS9 in Tiger but not Tiger in OS9.

  • How can I toggle back and forth from a main pdf to its attachments?

    I have a main document that I created in word and inserted hypertext to either link to 1) websites 2) a series of appendices, 3) 6 large format pdf maps or 3) a series of reference documents.
    In Word, I have everything in a thumbdrive directory with the main file and three folders holding the individual files of the maps, appendices and references. All the links work but the file can't be copied to another drive without redoing all the links to the files (there are about 40 files all together).
    I saved the word main document as a pdf. All the auxiliary files are also pdfs. All the weblinks came through in the pdf of the main document but the links to files need to be re-established.
    1. I tried to create an acrobat portfolio with the main file and the folders of maps, references and appendices but I can't seem to make links in the main document to open up specific files in the folders.
    2. I compiled all the files together into a binder and tried to use bookmarks to link the main part of the document to the first page of the 40 supporting files but at 700 pages the document is just too cumbersome to recreate the ~100 bookmarks I would need to add.
    3. I tried adding everything as attachments and created links but once the link is activated from the main document and the new window opens, the main document has closed up. I need the reader to be able to toggle back and forth between the screen with the main document and the supporting documents.
    What I am trying to create is one main document with links to the maps, appendices and references that will open a new window when each link is activated. Then the new window can be closed and the reader is back at the screen of the main document on the page with the link they just used.
    This doesn't seem to me like it should be difficult since it almost works in Word except for the file structure.
    I would really appreciate any guidance on how to make this work. The document and supporting files have already taken more than a year to put together and I'm stuck at this last step.

  • All I get in the menu bar when I open Firefox IS "Firefox"--no bookmarks, no nothing. How canI get bookmarks back and Firefox functioning.

    I have used Firefox forever. (I also use Thunderbird.) When I opened Firefox all I get now in the menu bar is the word "Firefox" with the "About Firefox," "Preferences," etc. list. Nothing else. I cannot open Firefox and I cannot quit it, either. I can do nothing with it at all. How can I get it back. I need my hundreds of bookmarks.

  • HELP! How can I switch back and forth from LT to FCE to sync sound?

    I'm using LT 1.2.1 and FCE 3.0. I haven't used it for 2 or 3 years, but people in this forum have been amazing at helping me get an old project working again.
    Here's my latest question. I swore back then there was a way to move back and forth between LT and FCP so I wouldn't have to render my LT files each time I wanted to drop it into FCP.
    Here's what I'm doing:
    I've created an entire "movie" in LT that now needs to be fine-tuned to be sync'd up with a professional voiceover, which is why I'm using FCP. The only way I can figure out how to make sure the LT file is going to be sync'd with the audio is to render the movie in LT, import it into FCE, see if the audio works with it, if not, I go back to LT, move things around, then re-render, import into FCE, and hope it all sync's.
    I think there was an easier way to go back and forth between the two.
    Along the same lines, is there a way to get the audio from FCE (or some sort of a representation) into LT? The LT file must be adapted to the audio, and if I could "see" the audio in LT, it would be infinitely easier.
    Thanks!
    Bob

    LiveType does not support any kind of audio, Bob.
    Go through your movie in the FC Timeline and set markers at the relevant cue points by pressing M.
    Pressing M a second time whilst sitting on the marker, will open a dialog where you can type a suitable description in the name field. Keep the description short -it might help to take notes too.
    Export a copy of the movie (including markers) and bring it into LiveType with File > Place background Movie. The markers will show up at the top of the LT timeline, with their descriptions.
    Delete the background from LiveType when you have everything lined up. Save your LT project file and import it into FCE. You can use the project file exactly like a video clip.
    If you need to go back to LiveType for changes, right click the LT file in FCE's Timeline. Choose "Open in Editor". This will open the project in LT. Make changes, save the file and it will update in FCE.

  • I've lost my drop down menu for my back and forward buttons. I use them constantly. How do I add this or is that option gone for good?

    There used to be a drop down menu along side the forward and back buttons so you could skip several pages in between. I couldn't find that as an option to customize that feature back is that option no longer available?

    Hi Emclatchy,
    In Firefox 4 you should be able to get the history drop-down menu by left-clicking on the back button or the forward button and holding the mouse button down for a few seconds.
    Or, you can try installing this add-on:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
    I haven't tried it myself but it is supposed to add the history drop-down indicator back to Firefox 4, same as it was in previous versions.
    Hope that helps,

  • How can I go back and forth between Word and FrameMaker

    I have a client who has all their documentation in FrameMaker, but needs to export to MS Word to distribute files for editing by various parties. Once edited, my client needs to bring the updated text back into Frame, ideally without having to re-format the entire file. It was suggested that RoboHelp 10 might work, but they are using unstructured FrameMaker.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Jeff's recommending the best tool and workflow; I'll happily second that
    because it creates a much better audit trail of who wrote what and what
    happened to it than Word.
    If you have to user Word, export isn't too big a problem, although I'd
    strongly recommend MIF2go instead of RoboHelp for this. The problem is
    going to be round tripping the comments back in... best you can do is use
    Track Changes in Word, get it technically correct, and then copy in Word
    and paste as text back into Frame.
    It'll be pretty laborious hand work. PDFs and electronic review would be
    much easier.

  • When I installed Mountain Lion it asked the name of my computer. I was in such a hurry that I now have a typo. How can I go back and change the name of the computer?

    How do I change the name of my computer?

    One area that this appears is on Facebook where it lists the number of Recognized Devices. There are six devices which include iPad and iPhone. These items are grayed and you are unable to change. Also on my iphone it lists the computer name. This name is different from name of my computer. It's what I signed in as when I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I know I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. I have searched everywhere on my computer that I can think of and cannot locate where this is used. Any suggestions are appreciated.
