How to use the multi-touch trackpad to adjust icon size?

After I upgrade my OS X 10.6 to 10.9.2, I lost.
Everyday I search the forum to look for the "feeling" of using Mac OS (migrate from windows to OS X10.6). The OS X 10.6 is just great.
Now the questions, how to use the multi-touch trackpad to adjust icon size with simple pinch open or close gesture?
Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and don't speak for "Apple Inc."
Using the multi-touch trackpad to 'zoom' in or out is temporary.
The best way to permanently change icon size on the Desktop is to Command+click on an empty place on the Desktop screen and select Icon Size from the Desktop preference pane:

I might also add, you can run 10.6.8 Server in virtualization, if you need access to Rosetta applications:

How to click on Multi-touch Trackpad

Please excuse my ignorance, I have an early macbook with a button to click.
I am trying to assist my brother with a project using his newer macbook with a multi-touch glass trackpad and I messed up the settings because I am not used to the touch to click. I unchecked that option in system preferences and now cannot click anything. Meaning, I am stuck on the system preferences page and cannot do anything because I do not know how to click without a "click" button.
Please, if you can, get back to me ASAP.
Thanks.

Thanks Chris. I am in the process of getting a usb mouse to change back the preference as that is the only way I can get it back to working status, as per applecare. Thanks again bro.

Anyone knows how to enable the multi-touch gesture on ipad2 or any update how

Help pls.

It costs US$5, but I did it yesterday and it requires a Mac.
On a Mac open the Mac App Store and buy Xcode. After the Xcode installer has completely downloaded run it and install Xcode on your Mac. Open Xcode and attach your iPad. Xcode gives you the option to use the iPad for iOS development. Enable that and the Multitasking Gestures will be available to turn on in Settings/General on your iPad.
There are 3 gestures.
Use four ot five fingers to;
• Pinch for Home screen
• Swipe up & down for revealing & hiding the multitasking bar
• Swipe left or right to go between open apps
If you have a PC there is a way to activate it for free. It involves adding a line to a preference file in the iPad's OS. This activates the gestures only, but does not install the on/off button in Settings/General as the Mac method does. Do a Google search to find the steps to do this.

Using the I touch calendar...with windows is it possible

I am trying to figure out how to use the i touch calendar option with my windows computer. I located the ical but it seems to only be available for Mac users. Am I mistaken or is there a program available for me?
Thanks

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
iCal is a very nice Mac-only application.
Your iPod touch will be synced with calendar data in Microsoft Outlook on your PC.

The patch is only for MBP late 2013 13 inch. 15 inch is not able to install this patch
I'm facing this problem intermittently.
When my keyboard & trackpad went unresponsive, I plug in my USB keyboard and the keyboard & trackpad went back normal.
I search the web and somebody highlight it may due to connector to keyboard/trackpad appear to be curled.
Not sure is hardware problem or software bug...

How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

Hi,experts,
I dont know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
Action:
1. config the ADS successfully.
2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
CONCATENATE
'1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
'2、bbbbbbbbb '
'3、ccccccccccc'
'4、ddddddddd'
INTO remark .
lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `REMARK`
value = remark ).
But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!
My email is : [email protected]
Best regards,
Tao

Hi,
If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
this.rawValue
= util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
function toTitleCase(textValue)
return textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.

Since this is a user forum you might wish to do some Google searching on your topic. There are hundreds of ways an iPad could be used in the classroom both by teachers and students. Apple is very much involved in education so you may wish to look further into their programs, but that is not done on the forums but through Apple's website. For example, Students - Mac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad for college and Education - iPod touch and iPhone enable on-the-go and Education - iPad makes the perfect learning ...

What happened to the multi-touch gestures in Finder?

I've updated to Lion last week. Overall, I think what Apple did was great to the overall experience. However, my only gripes are in Finder. What happened to the multi-touch gestures? The only thing that I can do is flip through files in cover view using two finger swipes.
What happened to the pinch to zoom in and out? I've seen other posts about this so I'll stop here. Apple please bring this function back. I'm tired of moving my mouse to the drag handle.
Secondly, I was using three finger swipes to navigate to the previous and next folder in Finder. Since two finger is used to flip through cover view, I see why they couldn't extend the back/forward function to two finger swipes as they did in Safari and I know that three finger swipe is used to change desktops. I wish that Apple was more creative to leave this function in somehow.
Is there a way to bring these functions back to Finder? These are the functions that I used all the time.

That doesn't explain why they would remove the pinch to zoom in and out. That is not be used by anything else in finder. If I'm going through pictures, I would like to zoom in on the images for cover view.
As far as the three figure swipes to go back and forth in finder, I understand why that has been removed. However, Apple could have implemented the two finger swipe just like in Safari which is sensitive to the acceleration of the swipes. If you swipe with two fingers somewhat fast, you can go back and forth between previous and next page. If you swipe with two fingers slowly, you can pan left and right on the same page.
They could have done something to retain the functionality versus taking out the functionality all together. As of now, these functionalities do not exist. I'm hoping that something is going to change and we'll have to see what the future brings.

I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

What model computer do you have? some early trackpads will not support all gestures.
Front Row was dropped by Apple in Lion. I beleive it can be recovered from Snow Leopard, I haven't tried it myself.

How to create the multi-realm (or multi-entries)in one Directory instance?

how to create the multi-realm (or multi-entries)in one Directory instance?
I have installed a new iplanet Directory Server 5.2 on a win2k box, named "vp.com1.com"
When I installed this server, it helped me to create a new Directory server instance with the default realm "dc=com1,dc=com".
I could log on console and found root node, which is "com1.com"
expanded this root node, I got a tree as following:
"com1.com" -> "vp.com1.com" -> "server group" -> "Directory Server(VP)"
Then open "Direbory Server(VP)" -> click tab "Directory"
Got a tree as following:
vp.com1.com(389) --> dc=com1,dc=com
o=NetscapeRoot
Now I wanna create a new entries, which is "dc=com2,dc=com"
How to do?
I had checked almost all the related doc but failed to get the valuable info.
Would you like to do me a favour? Or forward me some reference?
Because I'm a new guy for iplanet Directory Server, would you pls me the help in detail.
This task is very urgent for me, so really appreciate your early help!

Look on page 87 of the Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 Administration Guide. The section "Creating a New Root Suffix Using the Console" should give you step-by-step instructions.
