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.
Thanks
Jeff Campbell

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 ...

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • Magic Mouse does not swipe between full screens.

    Even tho prefrences is checked that one finger swipes between pages and two finger swipe between full screen apps, I am unable to do so.  It only goes between say mail, dashboard and one chrome or say I photo.  What could I be doing wrong?

    I went to Mission Control and set up more desktops, Thanks Captfred.  I'm getting the hang of it, but occ. it gets stuck, ie:  I-Cal goes from page to page.  Any suggestions?  Thanks again Captfred.

  • Mac, second monitor changes to canvas background when I switch between full screen apps on my mac display?

    When I plug in my monitor using a thunderbolt to hdmi cable I would like to use my moitor as a second display, which i can do, but then when i switch between full screen apps on my mac it changes what i have on my monitor to a canvas background. Is there a way to fix the display on my monitor so that it will always be accesable?

    Apple:
    This is how it "Should" work.
    Each display should be treated as it own desktop.  If you swipe on a desktop it should swipe through the hidden screens/displays.   If your a user with multi displays connected to your Mac, you could have "Full Screen" Apps, Dashboard, Mission Control, and etc available to swipe on each of your connected displays.
    Display 1...swipe, swipe... mouse over to Display 2...   swipe swipe swipe...  oh.. Display 3, swipe!  All set for work or play!
    This would be a well received "Feature" for the Worlds Most Advanced Operating System.
    Cheers
    I have seen apps (like MPlayerX and VLC) have their own "built in" workaround for the full-screen problems on multi-displays.

  • Is there a hotkey to go between full-screen apps?

    I have multiple full-screen apps.  Is there a way to switch between them via the keyboard?  In the old day, I could assign Spaces desktop to a hotkey, and jump to it.  That's preserved for multiple desktops in Lion OS X, but it doesn't seem to work on full-screen apps.
    The two finger magic mouse scroll thing is a little awkward for me.
    Conrad

    On the trackpad it is a four finger swipe <-->
    Maybe in your system preferences for your magic mouse.

  • My iphone 4s will not let me swipe to hide purchased apps

    need help as to why my phone will not let me do this

    What do you mean the phone won't let you search for new devices? As soon as you go into Settings>Bluetooth, it starts searching. Is the new device in discoverable (pairing) mode?

  • Version 5.0 on a MAC will not let me switch between tabs. I can open a new tab, but when I try to go to a different tab, it just shows me the contents of the tab most recently opened. Help!

    Also, pop up blocker works for some time and then just stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to get it to work again. Help!

    I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was to update Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but that didn't help it and I had the same problem.
    Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called Tile Tabs 4.10 that I thought could feasibly creating this problem. So I went into my add-ons manager and disabled it, restarted Firefox and the tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the Tile Tabs extension is my favorite Firefox add-on and I use it almost every day for managing my web work tasks. I went to the add-on page for Tile Tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 didn't work properly on Mac OS, and to install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw they had a new, not-yet-reviewed version 4.11 that addressed the Mac OS problem, installed it, and everything seems to be working properly.
    I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem, as I hadn't updated Firefox or the Tile Tabs extension recently. Also, obviously this might not address your problem, especially if you don't have that add-on installed and enabled. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it appears based on your post time, so its probably not coincidence.
    But its worth a look, and you might want to check out other extensions if you don't have Tile Tabs that could be causing the problem.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

    FIrst try a soft reset by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally. 
    If that doesn't help then to make sure you have a strong internet connection.
    Try resetting Network Settings
    Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings,
    You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks.
    Once logged back in and when the pop-up appears, try entering your password again.

  • My 3GS will not let me in to iTunes or App store. It just says "Cannot connect to ITunes". This is not a password issue. Recenly updated. Tried resetting. (Been doing this since before last update).

    My 3GS will not let me login to iTunes or App store. It says "cannot connect to iTunes store".

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.
