Is there a "swipe to navigate" feature on the older Macbook?

I know that there are no multi-touch gestures, but I thought that the two-finger swipe would be available since that is how vertical and horizontal scrolling is handled.
Is there a way to enable the two-finger swipe to navigate back and forth through pages?
Thanks.

I believe you'd need to add either a Magic TrackPad

Or a Magic Mouse

There is no line in audio on the new Macbook Pro ?

Hi,
I just got my new Macbook pro (Retina with 16gb). I'm surprised because i don't see the option for adjust in/out audio ? There is no line audio in on the new macbook pro ?
Thanks

To the best of my understanding from reading many posts on here, the best answers I can come up with to your questions are as follows:
Verizon is supposed to be upgrading its signal format for several of its HD channels that will prevent your old box from decoding them. This is why they are upgrading you to a new box. As for the 7100-P2, Verizon was attempting to make a smaller, more sleek-looking and energy efficient STB. While I could be wrong about this next statement, I believe that this model could also be set either flat or on-end (like a book). If you set this box on-end then the clock display would have been very hard to read. There is no software update that can fix this issue because there is no LCD display on the front of the box to display the numbers. And yes, there are complaints all over these forums regarding the lack of clock display on this model. It would have served Verizon well to have consulted with its customers before making this change.
There are 2 other models of HD STB that can receive the new signal and have a front-panel clock display. But unless you have a Verizon FiOS store nearby that would be willing to let you swap for one of those, requesting another exchange for your functional 7100-P2 may or may not be free. And you could just end up with another 7100-P2.
Hope this helps.

Hi j,
Apple rarely announces upcoming hardware upgrades, so we'll probably just have to wait and see if that's something that happens in the future with the retina line. In the meantime, you can express your desire for one here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Can I turn off the retina display feature on the new MacBook Pro?

Hello,
I recently got the new MacBook Pro with Retina display. I love how fast this machine performs, it's weight and thickness.
However, working in Advertisement, this machine's made my line of work a bit too pixelated. There are no websites optimized for this new display, making portfolios hard to see as the retina screen makes things blurry and fussy looking. Not only that, but non of the Adobe products are ready for this technology either. It's hard to open a piece of software you'd like to design with and work with pixelated tools (photoshop among others).
I can do without the Ethernet port, optical drive and the lack of a locking system for this machine. But, making things uglier on the web isn't something I'm willing to sacrifice since is my line of work. Any idea of a third party that can turn this feature off?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, this beauty is going back to the Apple store.

sorry, but the 2880x1800 is hardware; in fact what makes non-optimized sites look (relativly) ugly is that to upscale the graphics to the apparent resolution of everything else each pixel is represented by 4 pixels, and as you know being in graphics, upscaling pictures is generally results in ugly.
Back to my point, there's no software to make the display lose 75% of its pixels; you'll either have to use another machine and/or wait for sites to optomize their graphics for the retina displays...which may or may never happen depending on the sites awareness/closeness with Apple's technology

There used to be a feature on the 'back' arrow; a small tiny down click arrow where i could choose a specific recent page to go back to. it saves hitting and reloading old pages i want to skip. what can i do now?

at the top left corner of the tool bar, there is a 'back' arrow and a 'forward' arrow. before the latest software upgrade to firefox, i used a teeny tiny 'down' arrow that was to the right of the 'forward' arrow. when i clicked on the tiny 'down' arrow, it showed me a list of all the pages that had recently been opened; not just a website i might have been visiting, but all the pages i had navigated to on that website. i used the 'down' arrow as a shortcut to get back to a specific page which out having to click the 'back' arrow like ten times or more. i would really, really, really like for you to put that feature back, or tell me what i can do instead. thanks.

You're welcome.

Is there a BIOS login security feature on the MBP?

One thing, actually the only thing, I liked about my Windows-based laptop (it also had Linux on it too) was that I had a BIOS security feature. This meant that I had to enter a password at the BIOS level before anything would happen. This way there was no getting around the OS to get to my system. Ya, someone could remove the hard drive and get around the windows login, but that's a bit more effort and folks who steal laptops are not usually real high on the IT intelligence level.
Does anyone know of a feature like that on the MBP?
Thanks,
Tom

It says at the bottom not for intel macs, but apparently they fixed this in OS X 10.4.6
Best of luck.

Is there a safety assistance feature on the s4?

Hi, I saw on youtube that there is a 'safety assistant' feature on the s4, but don't have it on my phone.
Where can I find that? It's supposed to be at {Settings/My Device/Safety Assistance (under Blocking Mode).
This is a very useful tool in case of emergency or someone trying to hijack or following you.
Please help.

You may have been watching a video for a S4 on another carrier or from another country. Not all S4s will be the same across phone carriers and countries. A US T-mobile Galaxy S4 may have a different menu layout and or features from a US Verizon Galaxy S4. But I have heard of this feature on the S3. It may be on the S4 in another place. good luck.

Is there a way to go back to the way a game is started by clicking on the icon after upgrading to OS 7?

I just upgrade my wife's IPad to OS7, and now she has to go through three steps to start a game. Is there a way to go back to the older way, which was just to click on the icon for the particular game she wants to play?

Go to the table of contents is one is shown at the top of the page and then use the left arrow key or click on the left side of the page to move back to the cover page. If there is no ToC then just use the left arrow key or click on the left side of the page to move back to the cover page.

Swipe between pages feature is freezing with magic mouse and magic trackpad in Mavericks

I am experiencing a bug in Mavericks with my Magic trackpad and the Magic mouse. This bug comes and goes and is very sporadic. When it happens I am usually in a browser like Firefox or Safari, or in iPhoto. Anything that uses the Swipe between pages feature usually locks up, and on top of this it locks the scroling up and down function in the browsers and in iPhoto. The only thing that makes these functions work again is to reeboot or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. I see that many people are having this problem in other posts, and I am just wondering if Apple is actually working on this bug or has somebody found what trigers this bug and do they have the fix for it?
Thanks for your help
Chris

Maybe this will help. You can look for other ideas in the 'More Like This' box to the right.

3 finger swipe to navigate Safari

On my old MBP (2.66 Ghz Core 2 duo running 10.6.8) I could always navigate between pages in Safari using a 3 finger swipe (left for back, right for forward). My new 2.7 Ghz i7 with 10.8.4 won't do it. I've tried Safari Preferences and System Preferences trackpad settings with no avail. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Scott

Hey DigitMus,
Thanks for the question. With the introduction of Lion, the swipe to navigate default gesture changed to a two-finger scroll. System Preferences > Trackpad provides three options for "Swipe between pages":
- Scroll left or right with two fingers
- Swipe with three fingers
- Swipe with two or three fingers
You'll want to make sure this preference is set as you wish, and checked to be enabled. For more information, see these resources:
Mac Basics: Multi-Touch gestures
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4721
Apple - Use your fingers to use your Mac in OS X Mountain Lion.
http://www.apple.com/osx/what-is/gestures.html#gallery-gestures-swipe
Swipe to navigate – Web pages in Safari, documents in Preview and more, just like thumbing a page in a book. Note: If there is horizontal content to scroll, this gesture will first scrolls to the end of content and then it will move to the next page.
- Magic Trackpad – A horizontal two finger swipe will show the next or previous page. Tip: Once you pass the rubber-band threshold, lift your fingers to change page. Also you can flick your fingers at the end of the swipe for momentum.
Thanks,
Matt M.

In Snow Leopard, there was a quick look feature that allowed you to look at files without opening the program. It doesn't show up in Lion on my iMac. Any ideas? Thanks

While in Finder, select the file (click on its icon once) then press the Spacebar.
