Java causing three-finger tap to fail

I just recently noticed a really.... REALLY bad bug in Java on the mac. Confirmed it affects Safari and Chrome. Java is messing up the 3-finger tap gesture that looks up the definition of a word (a word tapped with three fingers... for those who are unaware... it's an awesome feature). When you do the three-finger tap gesture, the little pop-up window closes right away, sometimes instantaneously.
I last saw this bug in Lion.
It's now back in MOUNTAIN LION~!!!!
I figured it's Java because I also get the blinking graphics glitches in Safari and when I disable Java and Javascript, I can execute the three-finger tap gesture without the pop-up window automatically closing.
Also noticed this problem only happened after the last Safari 6.0.2 update but it also affects the gesture in Chrome for some really weird reason.

Found the solution to the problem: reinstall JAVA:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
The link above gives you the standalone Java installer. For Pete's sake... all that digging around. There have been threads on this same problem and people asking how to de-install and re-install Java .... well there's the solution right above!

Three-finger tap to lookup feature just stopped working on OS X a while back. Any ideas as to what's wrong?

I don't remember if this started with Mavericks or not. I don't know what else I can check. The option is turned on, but when I three-finger tap, nothing happens. It used to work before.

Can't get trackpad to recognize three finger tap gesture for left click

Hello,
Hoping someone can help me. I am new to mac and just got a mbp 13. I have magicprefs installed so I can add various trackpad gestures. I have it set up so that when I do a 3 finger tap it should equal a left click. No matter what I do, the trackpad doesn't recognize this.
The trackpad recognizes the 2 finger tap as right click just fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Do I have to enable or disable something in the system preference trackpad box to allow for a left click gesture?
Any help would be appreciated-I use left click a lot and it would be great to just do this with a 3 finger tap. Thanks in advance.

My iPad got stuck in accessibility mode. Three finger tap NA

My iPad got stuck on the accessibility mode used to cover up areas that you don't want touched. But when I click three times on the home button times to get out the iPad doesn't respond. While in this mode I cannot turn off my iPad or use any of the buttons. I have to tap home page 3x to go to page where I can turn on/off this mode. Not happening. Battery getting low.

You don't tap three times. You double-tap with three fingers.
If you still can't get out of accessibility mode, try a soft reset. If that doesn't work, try a hard reset. If THAT doesn't work either, try restoring from iTunes.

Wow!
I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.

Magic Mouse - three finger double tap dictionary - not working

A three finger, double tap on my Magic Mouse will not activate a dictionary definition in any app. All other mouse gestures work fine. The keyboard combination for that feature works fine too. How can I get that three finger gesture to work?

No workaround so far with this problem and also no posts in the Opera forums. Just have to wait until Opera includes this functionality in their next release.
In the meantime you can help by joining the forum (takes a minute) and posting your concern. The more people that join and voice their complaint the faster something will get coded into their browser.

Why is DPM 2012 R2 splitting this Co-located Protection Group Set across three different tapes?

I have 10 protection groups that ran Saturday night. I have put information about them in the following table:
I extracted the data in the table using Get-DPMProtectionGroup CmdLet and the job information from the Monitoring page of the DPM admin console. As you can see from the tape barcode, DPM wrote the first four PGs to one tape, then started a second
tape, and finally failed when starting a third because it had run out of free tapes.
All of the protection groups are assigned to the same "Co-Located Protection Group Set" in the "Tape Optimization Setup" dialog box.
Prior to the jobs running, I painstakingly ensured that each of the Protection Group's "Select Long-Term Goals" and "Select Library and Tape Details" screens are identical as follows:
Prior to running the jobs I had already disabled autoclean on the tape library.
I have checked to see if the tape drive is reporting IO error 0x8007045D using the method described in this blog post:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dpm/archive/2012/05/14/things-you-can-do-to-help-data-protection-manager-utilize-your-tapes-full-capacity.aspx
There seems to be no mention of 0x8007045D or -2147023779 in any of the MSDPM*.Errlog files.
These are LTO6 tapes with a capacity of 2.5 TB each. The total data for all the jobs put together is less than 300GB.
Why is DPM 2012 R2 splitting these protection groups across three different tapes?
What else should I check for that might cause DPM to start a new tape?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for taking a look at the logs. I just wanted to point out that there were actually two changes made just before collocation succeeded:
Write Period and Expiry Tolerance were increase
Full Verbose logging was enabled
This technet article states that Full Verbose logging affects performance. If the problem with collocation is caused by a race condition then it is
possible that enabling logging actually caused collocation to succeed. At this point there doesn’t seem to be any evidence pointing to which of the two changes resulted in collocation succeeding.
I propose I run the following tests to differentiate the two:
Test #1 - Collocation Confirmation
Repeat last weekend's test to confirm that successful collocation wasn't an anomaly. Configuration:
full verbose logging: Enabled
Expiry Tolerance: 1 year
Write Period: 1 year
Test #2 - Logging Only
Test to see whether enabling Full Verbose logging enabled collocation to succeed. Configuration:
full verbose logging: Enabled
Expiry Tolerance: 7 days
Write Period: 6 day
Thanks for your help,
Alex

Three finger swipe in finder works intermitently

I'm confused slightly. I've got the the generation of MBA just before the new one that came out today with 4GB of RAM 13.3".
I upgraded to OSX Lion today and noticed that sometimes, when switching back to finder, the three finger swipe to go FWD or BCK doesn't work at all. I have to scroll up or down then left or right.
I'm hoping the OS just needs refined a little because it also seems like some of the window animations are choppy as well. Surely this upgrade hasn't made my three month old laptop obsolete.

Ya, I don't know what's causing it. It happens to me sometimes as well. It'll be working just fine and dandy, and then out of nowhere, it decides to stop working for a while or until I restart/logout and in.

The applet is in the same directory as the ASP. It is a NT 4 (SP6) server. The applets loaded and ran fine with jdk1.3. Do I need to do something different in my ASP, or IIS setup to allow java applet HTTP connection in JDK1.4?
Thanks!

I have the exact same problem but have yet to find a solution.
It works fine in 1.3 but fails occasionally in 1.4. If I refresh the browser several times it eventually
loads.

Three Finger Zoom

Anyone here who's having problem with the iPod touch 5th Gen, 3 Finger Zoom?
Before, it does work but a certain point, it stopped recognizing the 3 finger zoom. For me to be able to use the said function, i have to reset all the settings of the iPod then it will be ok but give or take atleast 1 week, it will stop responding to the 3 finger zoom again then I have to reset all settings and it will be a forever cycle.
I also tried testing the three finger recognition in the game OSMOS wherein you have to tap your 3 fingers at the same time to go to the Game Menu when you are at gameplay. And my hunch was right, it does not respond to my 3 fingers.
I also checked the triple click home button function. The Zoom was the only one checked among the items. I tried it but it didn't zoom. I also used the Assistive Touch and still no response.
Do you think it's a hardware or software issue? Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I have no sen that problem posted here before
Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Three finger zoom fatally broken

For years, I have used the three-finger double tap to zoom the screen. It is now fatally broken.
For no reason, the screen zooms in and will NOT unzoom. Three-finger doesn't work. pinch and zoom, nothing. The phone cannot even be restarted, because the red swipe bar isn't visible. The only option is to do a hard reset.
And then after the restart, the screen is still partially zoomed in, although not to the point of being unusable.
I'm astonished this is so badly broken.
Any solutions, anyone?

I cannot replicate the experience you are reporting. Zoom works fine on both by iPhone 5 and iPad 2, both running 8.0.2.
When in Zoom mode, can you drag the screen around with three fingers? A double-tap with three fingers does nothing?

Three Finger Flick not working in Chrome?

I have a Lenovo Y460, which their touchpad supports the 'Three Finger Flick' function (Allows you to scroll through photos, back/forward on webpages (not that useful but still nice)), and I always just thought it didn't work on my computer or I just didnt know how to use it.
As a web browser, I like Google Chrome. But I clicked on IE by accident and felt like trying the flick again. So it works in IE but not in Chrome? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

@dimfisch
I'm not quite sure what double tap is/what you mean, but you can configure little sections of your touchpad to have a different function. If you click on that little ^ arrow on your task bar, and find "Synaptics Pointing Device" (looks like a little touchpad with a green center), go properties, Device Settings, and then settings one once, you'll find that you can add a few extra functions and all in there. Hope this helps!

Pinyin Typing Lag and Finger-Tap Malfunction

So I updated to Lion and I'm having two problems (that I'm aware of so far): The computer lags when I type Pinyin. It seems to have trouble loading the characters. Moreover, the finger-tap function won't allow me to highlight text in any program. Everything was fine until I restarted my computer. That's all I'm having trouble with so far.

Sorry I can't help, but I'm experiencing similar issues. Sometimes it will take two or three strokes of my finger for it to register.

I cann't turn the zoom of in my iphone. It does not respond for three fingers tapping. and it hard to chose the icons and options because of this problem

i cann't turn the zoom off in my iphone. It does not respond for three fingers tapping.
and it is hard to chose the icons and options because of this problem
what can i do.

Hi osh17,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can turn off Accessibility features using a computer as well. That may be easier to do if Zoom is causing difficulty in using your device:
