MacBook Pro Trackpad-Zoom under firefox 5.0.1 is not working

Working with a macbook pro, my 2-fingers-trackpad-zoom is not working anymore on the web under firefox 5.0.1. (but in general, on all other surfaces of the computer it is working perfectly fine) - what happened? How can I change it?

I have just had the same issue after upgrading from snow leopard to Lion Mac OS x 10.7 with firefox 5.0.1... Not sure why as the Browser didn't change. I was also annoyed by the change in two finger trackpad scroll direction which I discovered was configurable by un-checking [System Preferences>Hardware>Trackpad<scroll&zoom>scroll direction:neutral].
Correction for the trackpad pinch zoom issue was a little more complex, you will need to re-configure firefox as follows:
# in the firefox url type >about:config >and press return accepting the warning
# Ctrl F should bring up a search box, type >browser.gestures
# either double click or right click to modify the following with these values:
# browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
# browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
# browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
# browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
All should start working immediately without the need to restart Firefox.
I don't think the zoom is as smooth as it was before....
Hope this helps someone...
Oops forgot number 5 and corrected a spelling error....
5 browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false

My Macbook Pro Retina's USB port on the right side not working at all

Dear all,
I received my macbook pro 15inch with retina display a week ago, but not until today had I got the chance to use the USB port on the right side, only to find out that it is not connecting to anything at all. I have tried to use my iPhone 4 and iPad 3 with two different cables, my USB thumb drive, and my Blackberry 9900, none of them are charging nor shown in iTunes/Finder. All of above works on the left and on other windows machines too.
I'm also not able to charge my Blackberry with the usb port on the left side, thought it would pop up a message saying "charging not supported" on the phone.
For you information, I have applied both updates including the one released few days ago. I have also tried to reset the PRAM. Also, I have migrated from my old late 2008 13inch unibody Macbook using Migration Assistant, not sure if this would affect anything.
I'm aware that there have been reports and discussions regarding the USB port not been able to run devices on 3.0 speed, but I wonder if anyone else have the same problem with me, where the port simply not connecting to anything at all?

I also have a problem with the USB port on the right side of my Retina MBP. The USB3.0 port on the left side works fine, even with high speed external SSD enclosures, like the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G which enables me to copy large files at a sustained rate of 160-170MB/sec. Wow USB3.0 and the Mercury SSD is a FAAAAST combination connected to the Retina MBP.
However, like the forum entries about the USB3.0 ports in general on the new Retina MBP, the USB3.0 port on the RIGHT side is plagued with dropping intermittently, disconnecting my external hard drives while copying large files AS WELL AS disconnecting while just sitting there connected to an external hard drive and doing nothing.
Therefore, since I don't feel like returning my Retina MBP and waiting weeks for a replacement, I have chosen to only use the left side USB3.0 port for now.
I have my suspicions about why the right side USB port might be more problematic than the left side one. I found this older post on the internet about how "Not all USB ports are created equal on MacBooks..." that talks about how on older models of MacBooks one of the USB ports shares a USB hub with multiple other devices like the iSight camera etc. therefore making it less tolerant of heavy traffic or something like that. (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/05/the-macbook-all/)
Therefore, I wonder if the right side USB port is sharing a USB internal hub where-as the left side one is more 'dedicated' and therefore in my case able to handle the high speed transfers/traffic I am throwing at it with my external SSDs.
I have also read that USB3.0 in general, on non-Macs, has had trouble for years. For instance, some forum entries on Apple Support Communities and other non-Apple forums has made mention that 'they' are not surprised at the problems encountered on USB3.0 external hard drives connected to the Retina MBP because Windows laptops have had a lot of flakey problems with USB3.0 for 'years'.
Also, I have recently purchased a "Buffalo" external Thunderbolt 1TB drive from OWC and have been doing Clones onto that drive for several weeks. I use SuperDuper to clone >600GB of data on my 768GB Retina MBP several times a week. And, I have (knock on wood) not had any problems with the stability of my externally connected Thunderbolt drive.
So, in my case, I am racking it up to high-speed stresses on the USB3.0 ports at least in part...and perhaps the possibility that the LEFT side USB port on the Retina MBP is more dependable and/or a more dedicated USB port than the right side one.
This doesn't really solve your problem, but it may at least help you feel like you are not alone.

I have an older MacBook Pro I tried to download icloud and it's not working

I have an older MacBook Pro. It came with MobileMe installed but I never activated the MobileMe account. Do I need to upgrade to OSX Lion? Is there an icon/app that needs to be downloaded to my Mac to be able to sync iPhones/iPad to the Mac. THANK YOU!!

I just took my new MacBook Pro out of the box and the screen will not work. Display is, black no life to the screen at all

So I just ordered my first Mac book Pro. I took it out of the box and hit the power button to do the start up and the screen will not work at all. I shut the computer off and back on again. I plugged it in and unplugged it. I've done everything I can think of and the screen still stays blank with no life at all

Is the battery charged? Press the little button on the left edge, near the front. If no green dots, no charge.
Does it charge? When you connect the MagSafe charger, does the pilot light on the plug light up?
Does it actually start? Should sound a chime after you press the power button on the top/right corner. If it chimes, does the Caps Lock pilot light when you press it?
If it starts and Caps Lock does flash on and off, have you tried pressing the screen brightness control for awhile? F2 turns up the brightness, may be turned fully down.

Just started my new Macbook Pro, from Time Machine backup and the password is not working

Just got home with my new mackbook pro, and going through the startup process I booted from a time machine back up of my 2007 macbook. When I got to the login part of the process, after the new macbook was registered and ready to go, and now my password is not recognized.

Sorry about that.
I just got done posting back and forth with someone with a similar problem (not exact).
Turn the power off by holding down the power button, that is if just one push does not turn it off.
Then turn it back on and hold down the Option key. That will give you a startup screen where you can select which partition on the drive to boot into. Select the Recovery partition. From there you can use Disk Utility to wipe the Macintosh partition of the drive and then do a reinstall of the OS from the Apple website.
You need a internet connection to do this and depending on your internet speed it can take a few hours to complete. If you have a fairly fast internet connection it may still take 1-2 hours to download the 3.5+GB file to do the reinstall.
Before you go through all this try turning the system off and back on a few time to see if Lion can recover on it's own. I doubt it but it's worth a shot.
Again sorry for the condescending tone.
Happy New Year.

IMac ichat to macbook pro ichat and vice versa: audio/video call/chat not working

Hi and thanks for your time!
no green video/phone icon appearing beside buddy name.
audio status/video status under view of the menu bar are ticked. ( i noticed this happened after i added "appleut01" AIM and did a test call. grayed out prior to said test call)
invite to video/audio chat under buddies list are grayed out even if buddy highlighted first.
also tried changing port to 443 but when I do it automatically goes back to 5190...
also, i've tried logging off/on, deleting my account and making a new one...
basically followed suggestions from various threads herein but still cant video/audi chat/call:-)
hope somebody can help^^

Hi,
Lets check a few more things.
Some things are blocked from you changing them if the Mac User Account you are using has Parental Controls turned On.
To Show Buddies with Video and Audio icons several places should be checked.
1) with iChat Open go to the View Menu. In here both Show Video Status and Show Audio Status should be ticked (Selecting it will toggle the tick On or Off)
2) In the Video Menu the Camera Enabled item and the Microphone Enabled one should also have ticks.
3) (we Looked already) The Connection Doctor should say you can Video or Audio Chat as well as whether you can 4 way Video chat and 10 Way Audio Chat.
4) In the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit should not be set too low.
At least the 500kbps setting is needed to do 4 Way Video Chats.
It can also be useful to use this setting if your Internet Connection is much faster but varies a lot.
5) Parental Controls will stop you Adding Buddies, adding new Screen Names/Accounts in the iChat Preferences, altering several things about existing Accounts/Screen Names that have been set up.
If a Buddy has a Video or Audio iCon and it is a pale green them they are Busy.
If 1) are set then you should have an Video icon next to your Own Buddy pic in the header part of the Buddy List window. (Whether it shows Audio or Video will depend on 2)
What shows in 3) will depend on the other settings and what Internet Speed and hardware you actually have.
6) IF the settings are On for the camera then we need to know if the System can "See" the camera.
Go to the Apple icon Menu top Left. Click About this Mac.
Click More info to Open the System Profiler
Use the Reveal Triangles to see the Hardware list then USB.
Does this list the Camera connected to one of the Buses ? (you may need to click the items in the panes on the right to see the info you need)
It should list the details such as serial number, Maker, Firmware (possibly) and speed.

Mountain Lion was unable to complete install because my MacBook Pro's harddrive was locked. Disk Utlity did not work. How do I unlock my HD

Mountain Lion will not complete installation, I have tried erasing HD, locked, copying HD, locked.
"System/Library/Core Services/Remote Management/Ardagent" permissions differ.
Should be drwxr-xr-x instead of -rw-r--r--. How do I make this change if this is what I need to do.
I need to complete installation or get Mt Lion off my computer.
First time on a forum. Sure hoping for answers out there.

yeah, happend to me too. have you seen this one? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4137983?start=0&tstart=0

HT1338 MacBook Pro went down - tried reinstalling with back up disk - not work - help!!!!

As above???????????????????

That error occurs when the Windows Scheduler fails.
Try to use System Restore first.
If that doesn't fix the problem,
Run the Vista System File Checker Tool:
1. Open a Command Window in Administrator mode:
* click Start
* click All Programs, then Accessories
* right click on the Command Prompt option,
* on the drop down menu which appears, click on the Run as Administrator option.
* If you haven’t disabled User Account Control (and you shouldn’t!) you will be asked for authorisation. Click the Continue button if you are the administrator or insert the administrator password.
2. Start the System File Checker
* In the Command Prompt window, type: sfc /scannow,
* press Enter.
* You’ll see “the system scan will begin”.
The scan may take some time and windows will repair/replace any corrupt or missing files. You will be asked to insert your Vista DVD if it’s needed.

Firefox 4 doesn't allow MacBook Pro Trackpad features to work, for eg. zooming in and out by "pinching"

I downloaded Firefox 4 and immediately noticed I could not zoom in and out by using the two finger "pinch" action used on MacBook Pro trackpads.
I reverted to Firefox 3.6 and it works just fine.
Could you please advise me how to rectify the fault on Firefox 4
Thank you

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out cmd_fullZoomEnlarge

I have to input a password in order to log in each time I turn on my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now my built-in keyboard suddenly doesn't respons at all. And the bluetooth function seems to activate automatically even though I turn it off

I have to input a password to log in to my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now suddenly the built-in keyboard doesn't work at all so I cannot use my computer. I also notice that the bluetooth function is activated automatically even though I turn it off. It looks for an external keyboard. Please help me out. Many thanks!

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

MacBook Pro trackpad constantly clicking

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro 5,1 15' 2.53 GHZ-4GB Ram. Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
My Macbook Pro trackpad is stuck constantly left clicking
some right clicking
moving around by itself
not always responding completely to touch.
In text boxes when typing it constantly erases text
Pretty much unusable when this is happening.
It will happen as long as it wants to and start working normally again with no rhyme or reason I do not see anything in particular that seems to trigger it.I did not just start this thread without searching the net and here. I am just looking for some opinions on if I should take it in for repair or if there are any other things I can try that I may have missed.
Here is a list of what I have tried so far.
Reset PRAM and NVRAM.
Checked battery for bloating (even though that would not cause this problem would only cause it to stick had to replace once already).
Booted into safe mode (logged into seperate admin account I never use problem started again in safe mode after about 30 seconds of using trackpad).
checked trackpad screw (was fine but tried loosening it and tightening slightly to see if it helps.
Turn off, Remove battery, hold power for 5 seconds, replace battery and boot.
Using external mouse exhibits the same behavior (tried both USB and different wireless mice) This makes this problem seem more likely software not hardware
One thing I have not tried is deleteing the plist files for the trackpad I read that fix somewhere although I can not find the link now. If and when it decides to stop again I will try that next. I am A+ certified not ACMT but I can replace anything on it if needed so please mention anything you can think of even hardware. I would rather not restore the OS as I have about 300GB of data and transferring it to one of my servers or external drive would be a pain, time consuming, and I have read it does not solve these types of issues.
Please help
Sincerely,
Frustrated but still happy Apple user.

Well after some further investigation it seems I may have had some malware. I receive a lot of packages and this one seem to have slipped by my spam filter. It's called Mal/JSRedir-J of course I also forgot to re install Sophos Antivirus after I did some software development work and was running strictly through my citrix server which is very secure. *Slaps self in face*.
I am running a thorough scan now but that trojan popped up. I was able to install Sophos after a reboot before it started acting up barely got my password in on install before cursor started flying around the screen.
So far so good. Hopefully it stays that way, and maybe this will help someone else. Virus is not always the first thing to come to mind when I think MAC, and this is my first infection in 4 years

My macbook pro is still under warranty. I have just put it into Mac 1 to be repaired because I had the folder with the dreaded Question mark on it....new hard drive. I was told that if I wanted my data retrieved, I would have to pay $445 p/h. Ahh!!!

My newest Mac just did the same "folder of death" dance. It's too late for you now, but you might consider a passport backup drive.You can get 2&3 T-bytes now fairly reasonably priced. A given with computers is they will crash, just a question of how bad and when, so you can be prepared for the next time.
