It's a Magic Mouse question. I have set this up in Preferences by ticking Swipe between pages with one finger and also Swipe between full-screen apps with two fingers,  however when I try to do the latter, the 2 finger swipe will take me from the app that I am on to the dashboard only and not to my other open apps.
I also find that Smart zoom only works with some apps, for instance not with Word docs or email.
How can I correct this please?

Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

    the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
    The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
    When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
    As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
    When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
    Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but  he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro.  I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive.  However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

    I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch).  I removed the partition and started over.  I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive.  However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."  I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

    Try a restart.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • HT5019 When I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows

    , can it just change the full screen app of the screen with the cursor?
    when I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows to a full screen app window with no applications (like a grey linen screen)
    and I can't use that one properly yet I still want to use the full screen app without disturbing the other screen. (the left screen is grey)

    Upgrade to 10.9, Done.

  • My trackpad will swipe left between full-screen apps, but it will not swipe right

    My Trackpad on my imac will swipe left between full-screen apps, but it will not swipe right. How do I fix this?

    Hi there!
    I am searching this forum to find somebody that has noticed this weird behaviour. The closest I came so far is your post.
    So let me explain a little easier... The problem I think you mean is:
    When switching bewtween applications using CMD+TAB it does switch to the space an app is open BUT the app switched to is behind all the other windows on that space. Is that correct?
    This problem is also bugging me alot because I am used to to switch fastly between apps and this just renders the whole process useless. The best workaround I found so far is to stop using spaces (or Mission Control) and keep all the apps in one space to prevent this from happening.
    I really hope Apple aknowledges this bug very soon because this LION deal is a complete mess. Tons of bugs. No fixes.

    my problem is I want to enable the option to "turn the page with two fingers" to serve everywhere (Google Chrome, Finder, etc) but the problem is notserved with two fingers, serves only the option to turn pages if I put three fingers
    Help!
    All this happens in my macbook with OS X Lion

    Some apps require Adobe Flash; however, when I attempt to upload the program, I receive message to the effect that my iPad (version 7.0)  cannot support Adobe Flash, so I am unable to view some attachments sent.  I just bought my iPad recently and am still figuring everything out. If there is some solution to my problem, I would appreciate being advised. Thanks.

    Did you use the Publish menu to export an .ibooks fle?
    Check to see if you are trying to mistakenly select an .iba file.

  • Swipe between full screen apps in Powerpoint - skipping screens

    Anytime I have multiple PowerPoint presentations in full screen mode, when I swipe from other apps to one of the presentations, it automatically skips a screen. For example, I have two presentations open, each in full screen mode side by side.  When I swipe from my browser (in full screen mode) to the presentation, it skips the first presentation and slides to the next.  And it doesn't matter which direction I swipe from.  The first presentation is always skipped and I have to swipe back to get to it.
    Is there a fix for this? Is it a simple setting?  small problem, but annoying.
    Thanks

  • I have two iTunescards and it shows that I have over $40 left, however when I try to use the card, my iPad prompts me for a code, I enter it And it says it's already been entered. Duh. I just want to use the remaining amount to buy more from the itues app

    Would like to use the remaining amount on my two gift cards. This application will not allow it. It says that 'the redemption code has already been entered.". Duh! I know that. 8 want to actually use all of the credit on both of them as they were paid for in full.
    How do I do that?

  • It says I have 3 app updates. However, when I try to update, the apps won't.

    The App store says I have 7 apps that need to be updated. However, when I got to the update icon, none of the apps that need to be updated appear. How do I update the apps when they are not listed?
    Thanks!

    Until Apple resolves this problem, when you are in the App Store, if you have updates, try going to your "Purchased" Apps and you can update from there. Apps with updates will show "Update" next to them, just tap on "Update" and the update will be installed.

  • Magic Trackpad is not letting me swipe between full screen apps.

    I am pretty sure it was doing it before but now it has stopped. I can do everything else but I'm just not able to swipe between apps.

    The little scroll ball is probably dirty because it is a random problem. Turn it upside down on a clean fabric surface, or your mouse pad, and rub it all around till the dirt is cleaned out. My scroll quit working in one direction and I searched and searched the community here till I found this relatively easy answer to my problem.
    I used my denim jeans and every thing is working a ok now.
    Hope this helps ...

  • I recently purchased music on my iPhone (4) and am now trying to transfer those purchases onto my computer. However, when I try to play the music it says my computer isn't authorized to play it. I have already authorized this computer, what do I do?

    I tried unauthorizing then reauthorizing it but the same thing happened.

    Oh, and I'm not sure how relevant or necessary this information is, but the iTunes store on my computer doesn't work either, which led me to buy the music on my phone. I try to open it and the top says "Accessing iTunes Store..." and never gets past like a little bit less than half. I looked at some other discussions but none of the suggested solutions worked.
