Loss of pinch zoom functionality. On newspaper sites

LA Times, NY Times, WAPO articles viewed in Safari on iOS devices have recently had the pinch-zoom functionality removed. Apple has confirmed this. The layout of the pages look similar. This is not a mobile version - same version has it on MBP.

Hello Machine Master,
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, clearing the browser cache and cookies did not fix the problem.
One additional piece of information I'd like to add - the problem only occurs on the mobile version of these sites. If I manually switch to the desktop version of Google or Wikipedia, then zooming works fine.
Since you are unable to reproduce the problem, I'd suspect it might only be an issue with certain phones or the LG software. I'd be interested to hear if others with this phone (and not running a custom ROM) have encountered this problem.

Logic won't pinch zoom, but I really want it to! How can I correct this?

Hello,
I recently got a new hard drive put in by apple when I brought my mbp in for a simple headphone jack repair. I have used migration assistant to get Logic working again on my new hard drive, only now for some strange reason the "pinch zoom" function simply will not work. It is actually incredibly frustrating! Is this normal? I can't seem to figure out how I can get this pinch zoom feature working again in Logic... any suggestions??? Thanks so much for the help!!!

If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file ''cookies.sqlite'' that stores the cookies is corrupted.
You can rename (or delete) '''cookies.sqlite''' (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' and '''cookies.txt''', if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Pinch zoom not working

pinch zoom function on safari browser on text on pictures no longer working

Really old question... I have where the issue come and go. The pinch to zoom or shrink will work and then it stops working, either I need to reboot or just wait for it to come back.
But now, if it happens I switch to another account/user (I've setup a 2nd account that clean) through fast user switching and launch Safari. I go to any of the default sites and test, if pinch to zoom works, I continue to surf to a few sites using the pinch to zoom each time. After a little bit I log out and log back into my main account and it works again.
No restart required (I generally have 20-30 apps open so restarting is a pain).

The new version of Firefox does not seem to allow multi-touchscreen pinch/zoom feature. Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix the problem? Thanks.

Since the new version of Firefox (which I love, esp the reduced menu bars at the top, leaving more web page viewable space), I am unable to use the multi-touch pinch/zoom function to resize pages. the scrolling still works, and all worked fine before.

Thanks for your time.

Not a fix but if it's just a web site here and there that you find yourself using the pinch zoom feature you can use the IE Tab 2 addon to automatically use the ie engine and the zoom works.
You lose the other firefox features on those pages but as I said, if it's just a few sites it's worth a look.
I sure hope the Mozilla community fixes this in their desktop PC version soon. You can't gripe if it's free so I just keep waiting. :)
Their android and iOS version supports it so why not the PC version?

OS Lion does not support pinch/zoom gesture in Finder

I've seen multiple posts on this same issue. I just want to add my vote to Apple to restore the pinch-zoom gesture in Finder to OS Lion. I'd love see either a solution, or software update that will rectify this issue. I don't even know why there would be any sense in removing this feature.
Vic

Thank you for your response Rodney. The issue isn't with the browser though. The pinch-zoom works perfectly in Safari. The issue is with Finder. When I'm sorting/organizing files in Finder, I the pinch-zoom functionality doesn't work, so I'm limited to the 4 viewing styles buttons that are available. I can't scale my views which is really inconvenient. Finder used to have this functionality in OS Snow Leopard, so I really hope this function is restored in OS Lion.
Any feedback or ETA if this is going to be addressed by Apple? I see many other cries to have this feature restored in OS Lion.
Sincerely,
Vic

DPS: pinch and zoom function not working on all pages within folio (v30 tools using the pdf setting). What would cause some pages to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer?

What would cause some pages in the same folio to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer that's not allowing the pinch and zoom to work?
I do have a "go to state" button that enlarges graphic to full page on the page. Could this be cancelling the pinch and zoom functionality? Would a box with text wrap ON affect the ability to pich and zoom? What else may be causing this?

Can swipe and pinch to zoom functionality be used in creating an interactive pdf through indesign?

A client is telling me that there is a way to add these functionalities to an existing indesign file but I cannot figure out how. They would like to have the exact same features that an iBook has, but on a standalone pdf. Is this possible through indesign, or do I need a 3rd party software? I did manage to speak to a company that does this, and all they told me was that they take the indesign file, which is a horizontal layout of a book, and add the swipe and zoom functionality that exactly mimics those of ibooks.

Not in PDF. That sounds like DPS.

Since latest upgrade display distorting standard layout eg size of h2 to text is disproportionately large so reading newspaper sites is now a problem

None of the zoom functions address this problem.
It is not that all the text is too large or too small, but that the headings in relation to the text are now too big. This means that if I decrease the zoom level to one that the headings appear normal then the text is articles is too small. This is a consistent problem across for instance news papers sites such as the Guardian (UK) but even on the standard google search page. ie if I reduce the search box text size to the level I normally have, then the text of the search results are far too small. And even on the wordpress sites that I maintain I have this problem. The headings and sub headings now appear too large in relation to the text size.
So not only is this a problem for using other sites, but means I no longer have confidence in using Firefox when setting up styles etc..
Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

wouldn't it make more sense to offer 2 versions of the browser. One for those using high resolution displays and one for those that dont.
Most ordinary users will accept an automatic update and then not know what to do.

Problem with Pinch & Zoom

Hi there, I have set up my folio with multiple articles, each with a horizontal and vertical orientation. I imported each article seperately as PDF format. When I view on my iPad the pinch & zoom only works on the first page, but not on the rest. However, if I set up a folio with just horizontal orientation and PDF format the pinch & zoom works on all pages. Is this a bug or is there something else I should be doing to enable pinch & zoom on all pages?

Yeah, I think this is a bug. I encountered this error.
I need to wait for a long time to bundle my folios and after that zoom didn't work, so i need to rebundle again, still dont work.
What i do is get the first page(with working zoom) and put it in all the stacks folder, and bundle it. It work, then I need to copy paste all the correct pages in each pages and rebundle it again.
Got so much work and time consuming, not very nice.
I hope Adobe will fix this, their updating the functions to worst. I just noticed.

Pinch zoom problem in Mavericks???

Pinch zoom in finder not working anymore after updating the system to Mavericks. The functionality of it I found very useful when viewing photos in icon mode to resize and manipulate easy. Can someone help me to fix this if possible? I have Better Touch Tool software installed and tried enabling this feature through it but it didn't work. Please help!

I of course tried that. And as others said, in related topics, I tried turning off, rebooting, turning on and playing with accessibility options but no luck.

Please include pinch&zoom and the virtual mouse in the next release

Hello development team,
Could you please reinclude the pinch & zoom and the other gestures from iTap?
Same for the virtual mouse function, we got some apps that don't scale well on small screens so the virtual mouse was a very handy feature.
Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, I will help to submit the customer wish in our internal portal.
Thanks.

Safari Pinch/Zoom in iPhone4

Hello,
All of a sudden, I cannot pinch and zoom in Safari on my iPhone4. I could before in Safai, and I still can in other apps like iPhoto. I have tried restarting the phone, but to no avail. Does anyone have ideas/suggestions?
Thanks,

Ok, I have an update (clarification). I was looking at a mobile site when I ran into the problem described above - and it seems to affect only mobile sites like m.yahoo.com. Regular internet sites can be pinches/zoomed etc.
I don't regularly visit mobile sites, so I don't know if this is "normal" behavior. Seems like this is something new ... a "feature" from iOS 4.2? In any case, it seems wrong to me that pinch/zoom does nto work on a mobile site. And BTW, pinch/zoom works fine on my work-issues Android phone.
Thanks in advance if anyone can shed light on this.
Mr Sunshine
