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.

It is unbelievable that "three fingers double taps" gesture doesn't work in Preview.

Magic Mouse two finger swipe (forward/back) not working with Opera 10.

Magic Mouse left and right two finger swipe (forward and back) works great with Safari, Firefox, and Camino.
I enjoy using Opera 10 and noticed that the two finger swipe does not function with Opera. Any ideas on why or what adjustments I can make to get it to work?

Can't use three-finger double tap zoom.

iPad 2 version 6.3.1.
Couple of days ago, I tried to use the three-fingered, double-tap zoom, but it didn't work. Now, being a middle-aged person, I like to use this feature. So, tried again. Didn't work. Double tapped all over the screen. Nada. Went to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Zoom was on. Turned it off. Turned it on. Didn't work. Turned it off; turned it on again. Nope. Turned off the iPad. Turned on the iPad. Nuh-uh. Turned on, turned off the iPad again. Nah. Tried triple tapping the Home button to turn Zoom off and on again. Zilch. (Ordinary double-tap enlarge works, and so does Pinch to Zoom.)
I'm almost ready to reset the iPad, but that is such a drastic step, I thought I'd try here first. Any thoughts?
-- yah

So if you double tap with three fingers and drag up the amount of zoom will increase. If you double tabp with threed fingers and drag down the amount of zoom will decrease. It is possible to have so little zoom that it looks like none.
Is that possibly what you are experiencing?

Magic Trackpad - One Finger Dragging/Drag Lock Not Working

So I'm loving my new Magic Trackpad, but my one finger dragging and drag lock does not seem to be working.
First of all, it is enabled under System Preferences-->Trackpad. No matter what I do, I cannot get one finger dragging to work. I logged in under my wife's account, enabled it there, and tried but still no luck. It doesn't appear to be working under either of our accounts.
I've yet to create a brand new account to try, but my wife's account just as well be new, as it's virtually never used.
Note that I did have a Magic Mouse previously and using MagicPrefs. I'm curious if this might be causing issues, but I haven't tried removing it yet.
Any ideas? Physically clicking while dragging is about to drive me crazy.

QUICK FIX: Change the option for the three-finger gesture to dragging; it works.
Although I wish I could do one-finger dragging and keep the three-finger gesture for Navigation.
But not being able to drag or select text/pics, was a more urgent desire than Navigation, so I changed the option on the three-finger gesture.
I have had the SAME PROBLEM with dragging and drag lock (whatever 'drag lock,' is, I haven't seen explained; it doesn't work for me, yet).
_Everything else I've gotten to work_ (secondary click in left/right corners took a while - now I learned that I actually got to push down/click; or, at least, doing that makes it work).
But, one finger dragging - still no go.
I'll try the suggestions here. Check out the apps mentioned. Subscribe. See what happens.
P.S. - It doesn't 'shock me,' that a brand new product with first version software is not perfect, nor that I/we may have a bit of a learning curve.
My right wrist was ready for a rest and my left hand eager to get into computer use, so I love this product, find it 'graceful,' and pleasant and have confidence that it will be improved by Apple and others, and ourselves as we get use to it.

HT201365 How do you close an active window ? Double taps do not work... Thank

How do I close an application when finished ... Double taps do not work

Those who have not experienced the problem will tell you to double tap the home button. I have had the same problem where holding the home button won't bring up Siri and double tapping or single tapping the home button won't close, quit or do anything to the currently running app. I'm sure with enough oft cheese questions an update will be put out.

Three finger double tap not working

Since updating to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS, the Zoom feature has stopped working. (Actually, when I double tap with three fingers, the screen enlarges a few pixels.) Any ideas on how to get this feature back? So far, I've turned it on and off, rebooted the iPhone.

Double tap with three fingers and KEEP your fingers on the screen after the second tap and then drag up or down.

Magic Mouse three finger freeze

I have a Magic Mouse that was working fine along with Magic Prefs. Suddenly I ran into freezing whenever I thought the mouse with three fingers. I have removed all traces of MagicPrefs to no avail. A quick search here showed some others with the same issue but I didn't find any clear answer. Any thoughts as to where to look?

Typo..."touch the mouse with three fingers"

Magic Mouse - Two Finger Swipe not working in Finder + iTunes

Hello,
since OSX 10.8 I realized that in Finder & iTunes the backward/forward navigation has stopped working with Magic Mouse (two-finger-swipe gesture).
I have already read a lot of forums as well as apple-discussions and didn't find a solution apart from MagicPrefs or any other 3rd-party-app.
Is that a bug or just not meant to work? Does anybody know why Apple stopped providing this - very useful - gesture?
Thank you for your time and have a perfect day
Sascha

Pual_31 suggested good advise...
I would also recommend if that does not work, to reboot and run "repair permissions" from Disk Utilities.
Also might suggest downloading and trying MagicPrefs, it's a free program for the Magic Mouse and it really works great. May help with your problem, may not but I'd give it a try.

Flex 2 14 - Two finger tap for Right-Click not working (Two finger double tap works)

I bought my Flex 2 14 a couple of weeks back.
I want to enable Two-finger tap (not click) for right click.. Unfortunately it does not work.
Weirdly, Two-finger DOUBLE tap works for right click..
How do I get a two-finger tap?
I tried the regitry hacks from here (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Yoga-Flex-Laptops-and/Yoga-2-Pro-Two-finger-tap-does-not-work/td-p/1406... but no luck yet.
Any help please.

I have found a solution but I am still annoyed I had to do my own tech work to get a common touch figure enabled. (By the way there's many threads out there on Synpatics drivers and touchpads not working right for many people on different machines.)
Anyway, indeed the fastest fix is to modify a registry entry for Synaptics. Just open the regisitry edit software on the Yoga and then go through the folders: HKEY LOCAL / Software / Synaptics / SynTP / Win8
In "2FingerTapAction" all you need is to change the value from "0" to "2" - and presto two-finger tap is now a right click!
Much easier than going through a driver install / uninstall routine or any other of the suggestions I've found out there.
I wish Lenovo had this set up as a default. It's really a great gesture and it's quiet and fast.

Auto single finger double tap

Hi, i am a disabled useR, I have apps that want me to single finger double tap, i cannot do this, is there a way i can use assistive touch I or something else to double tap for me?

Yes you can. Go to Settings/General/Accessibility and tap on AssistiveTouch. Turn it on (if it's not already on).
On that same screen, tap on "Create New Gesture". On the screen that shows up, record your new gesture (double-tap anywhere on the grey screen). Next tap the Stop button, then tap on the Save button. Give your gesture a name (like DT for double-tap). Tap on the Save button after naming your gesture. If you somehow mess up with recording the gesture or don't like the name or simply want to clear it, you can delete it by swiping it to the left on the AssitiveTouch setup screen where Custom Gestures is displayed. From then on, the gesture will be available in the AssistiveTouch menu under Favorites. You drag the Favorite gesture to the button you want to double-tab and the recorded action will be performed on the desired button.

"Look up" tap does not work

Anyone else having problem with Look up feature on their mac? I think it use to be one finger tap, now its three finger. But it doesnt work.

Hi, browsing through threads about the issue, I found this post which finally helped me solve it.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4220850?start=0&tstart=0
As described there, uninstalling the app "Scroll Reverser" did the trick for me too.
Three finger look-up tap works again.
