Mac iPhoto: 3-Finger Swipe to Next/Previous Photo?

I seem to recall that there's a way to get a three-finger swipe to move to the next/previous photo, but I can't seem to find it if so... (I mean specifically while viewing all photos or in an album. This, especially while reviewing photos from a shoot, picking out the best ones.)

In other words, it was set to a three-finger swipe and it didn't work, but I re-selected that in the pop-up and now it seems to be working. Wild...
OK, problem (apparently!) solved.
Thanks, folks!

Why do downloaded photos to Mac IPhoto from IPad and IPhone omit some photos?

Photos sent to I-Mac I-Photo from I-Phone and I-Pad (via the Cloud) don't all come through. A number of them don't make transition.
Also, when downloading from the cloud, the photos arrive in I-Photo as though sent at different times. Clicking on PHOTOS in the source column will show most (but not all) of the downloaded photos with the same date and time but broken up into different lists. It is though the cloud download hesitates a few moments, and when transmission resumes, I-Photo starts a new Photos list.

Trouble With Syncing Mac Photo Stream to iPhone

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.

Next / Previous media keys don't work on 3rd Party Keyboard, Play/Pause does work. [MAC]

Hello!
So I am using a Logitech G710+ keyboard with my Mac (running 10.9) , and the media keys (Play/Pause, Stop, Next and Previous) work perfectly fine with iTunes, even in background.
Now, when I use Spotify, I usually quit iTunes (to stop conflicts), but only the Play/Pause key seems to work.
It does work in the background, which is good, but crucially the Next / Previous keys don't work at all.
Any ideas?

So I have the exact same issue as everyone else here. I have a Logitech K750 wireless keyboard running Yosemite on my MBP. I don't necissarily think this issue resides with Spotify, but instead with Logitech. If I use the media keys on my MBP I am capable of using Next/Previous even when Spotify is in the background. On the wireless keyboard only Play/Pause and the Volume buttons work. I think the issue is with the key mapping with the Logitech. Then again, I don't know how the code is written. Maybe Spotify missed an alternative key map for the media buttons. I didn't write the code.... The logitech forum is a ghost town for this issue though. Only post I found was 5 years old. EDIT: With further reasearch I DO believe the problem lies with Spotify. A tech for Logitech explained to me that Spotify wrote some "interesting" code for the keymap functionality for its Mac client. A quick Google search shows that it is not only Logitechs experiencing this issue. It would be great if we could get someone to look into this. It isn't critical, but it sure would be nice to get fixed.

2 finger swipe gesture in FF23 on mac

I updated my desktop Firefox to version 23.0 yesterday and my two-finger swipe gestures stopped working.
For a long time I have set in About:Config to browser.gesture.swipe.left -> Browser:PrevTab and browser.gesture.swipe.right -> Browser:NextTab.
Until version 22 there was no problem.
I checked some different settings and found out that with default values to go back and forward in history it works correctly.
I have FireGestures installed (which may affect the gestures) but I tried to uninstall/disable and the problem was still happening.
Thank you for any help

Trackpad three-finger swipe goes to wrong window

I'm using a Magic Trackpad with a MacBook Pro running the current Mac OS 10.8.4. But I've had this problem for at least a year, so I'm guessing it also affects the last couple OS versions at least.
I have the trackpad configured to trigger Back and Forward commands with a three-finger left/right gesture (System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures > Swipe Between Pages > Swipe With Three Fingers). I use these gestures to move to the previous or next web page in Safari and to move to the previous or next document in BBEdit and Xcode. Similarly, I also use a three-finger up/down gesture to switch between the header and implementation files in Xcode.
This all works great for a couple weeks, then suddenly something breaks and this happens: if I change the active window by any method (e.g., clicking the window, pressing Command-Tab, clicking the Dock icon), my three-finger gestures will still be targeted to the old window, as if it is still active. If I scroll in the new window with a two-fingered gesture, that will fully activate it and then the three-fingered gestures will be correctly targeted again. I've tried changing the trackpad settings and changing them back, quitting individual apps and sleeping/waking the computer. The only solution I've found to make the gestures work properly at that point is to restart the computer, which is pretty time-consuming given the number of things I'm usually working on at once.
Has anyone else seen this problem, and more importantly does anyone know a solution that doesn't involve restarting? Maybe restarting an individual process from the Activity Monitor?

JimG16,
I know it sounds silly but is the option for three finger swipe still checked.
System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures ( Tab ) > Swipe between full-screen apps.
Also on mine if I don't have multiple desktops created, Dashboard turned on, or on App in full screen mode it won't switch between them.
Summon Mission Control ( F3 on my keyboard ) > Along the top do you see Multiple Desktops or Apps in full screen.
Hope that helps,
Weston

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:

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.

Using magicprefs for magic mouse - after selecting 2 finger swipe in mouse prefs, creates an error message in magicprefs..

This error message requires you to open keyboard shortcuts and put in a command for exposé.
Looks like an incompatability with this third party software for MagicMouse. Disabling MagicPrefs makes the error go away and 2 finger swipe works normally allowing movement in Safari to next page or back to previous page.

You are the 3rd person to suggest this, so I decided to give it a try. It does reasonably well, but I still wish Apple would allow more customization directly in their preferences (e.g., how SENSITIVE the mouse is, and whether one needs 1 or 2 fingers to scroll, etc.). For now, I had to disable ALL of Apples "helpful" gestures and replace them with the best approximation to what I really want from BetterTouchTool. (For some reason, BTT does NOT seem to offer ANY scrolling gestures, just "page up" and "page down" which only works when a window is selected, and only at most on one pane of that window).

Magic Mouse 1 finger swipe moves app to new desktop

My mid-2009 is running the latest ML bits and it has developed an extremely irritating behavior.
When using my Magic Mouse a 1 finger swipe across the top part of a window moves it to the next desktop. I have my settings in system prefs set to use a 3 finger swipe to change desktops. I also have turned off "Swipe between pages" in the Magic Mouse settings. Sometimes I'll move my finger on the mouse a litlle and suddenly find myself (and the window I was over) on the next desktop.
I also get this behavior on my MBP pad if I swipe 2 fingers across the top of a window. That's also a little irritating, but less disruptive to my work.
I would love to know how to disable this behavior.

I guess you have installed all available updates, including this one?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3936
As a test, you can create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try the mouse there. This will help narrow down the cause. If it works in the new account, the cause is probably in your normal user account. If the same problem recurs, then the cause is probably at the system level.

2 and 3 finger swipe work inconsistent

I wonder why in Chrome, for example, 3 finger swipe right moves you to the next page, but 2 finger swipe right (if changed in prefs) moves you to previous page. Why does so amazing “natural” swiping mechanism works differently with 2 and 3 finger swipes? Isn't it suspicious? Maybe some solutions?
Thanks

Go to the Trackpad settings, go to more gestures. On the "Swipe between pages" click on the drop down arrow and change it to the last option "Swipe with two or three fingers." You'll be able to swipe with 3 fingers between photos left and right. Two finger swipe no longer works as far as I can tell.

2 finger swipe in Safari/iTunes

I have a late 2007 Macbook Pro with 10.6.2.
As you know it has 2 finger scrolling, but no 3 finger swiping
But now I was thinking, it registers 2 finger horizontal scrolling, shouldn't it be able to switch that to a swipe?
So I mean that if I do a 2 finger swipe in Safari, it goes to the previous/next page and in iTunes it goes to the previous/next song.
Thanks!

There is no option to use 2 finger swipe for page browsing or iTunes
Just the horizontal scrolling
But I think you think I have a Macbook Pro who is able to do 3 finger swiping, but that's not true, the maximum number of fingers this one can detect is only 2
That's why I'm asking if I can use a 2 finger swipe for these abilities

Lion broke 2-finger swipe on apps?

I used to enjoy 2-finger swipe to go forward and backwards in applications.
For example, 2-finger swipe on Chrome browser (or any browser) would go back/forward on previously viewed webpages.
On iTunes, 2-finger swipe would help me easily navigate back to All Artists view.
Now, 2-finger swipe can be turned on or off for scrolling through desktops.
Is there any solution to get the old function of 2-finger swipe back? 1-finger swipe does not replicate the former use.

For example, 2-finger swipe on Chrome browser (or any browser) would go back/forward on previously viewed webpages.

In system prefs, try chosing "Swipe with Two or Three fingers" in the drop down menu for Swipe Between Pages. You can still use the 2 finger swipe in safari, but you can use the old 3 finger swipe (with the old direction) in iTunes/Finder/Mac App Store etc.
Let me know if this helps!

2 finger swipe on GE60 ond

Hi!
The two finger swipe on the touch pad on my ge60 ond suddenly stopped working. So what I did is reset the laptop but still it does not work. I then installed the driver found on the website and then rebooted. After that, my computer crashes and restarts by itself, so I had to uninstall the driver.
Please help!

Swap magic mouse one finger swipe with two fingers swipe

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to do next thing with magic mouse:
I want use two finger swipe gesture for back and forward while browsing.
And I want to disable one finger swipe (because I am activating it too often occasionally).
Is it possible to customize gestures setup this way?
Thanks

UPDATE: Apple Care suggested a *power reset*. Turn system off, disconnect all cables, wait 30 seconds - 45 seconds, reconnect and power up. Before powering down I went to System Preferences, Internet & Wireless, Bluetooth, highlighted the Apple Wireless Mouse, clicked "-" below the chart, and clicked "YES" to the disconnect question. Then I moved the 2) PLIST files again mentioned in the earlier email to Trash. (User name - Library - Preferences - com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist & com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist). At that time, I did the Power Reset mentioned above.
Connected the MM to Mac Book Air as a test to determine whether it is a mouse or driver problem. The mouse worked perfectly on the MBA. I then unpaired it.
Reconnected and powered up the Mac Pro, and +the 2 finger swipe works again!+
