Mail with Lion: Pinch to Zoom Not Effective. Works With Safari Though

Tried in full and 'normal' screen modes. Same results.
Any idea if additional setting required and where can be found?
Thank you.

OSX 10.6.8
Safari 5.1 (6534.50)
I could zoom in once and then it wouldn't work anymore by using the pinching on the Magic Trackpad.
Pressing Command and +/- still worked.
I deleted Safari 5.1 and reinstalled the Combo Update to get 5.0.5 back and it worked properly again.
Then I installed 5.1 another time and had the same error again.
I guess I got to roll back to 5.0.5

Magic Trackpad pinch and zoom won't work in safari 6

Since the latest update, pinch and zoom no longer works on my Magic Trackpad in Safari.

This worked for me..
I had this problem with my browser as well. I'm using OS X 10.6.8 but, Try this: type the following into the address bar: about:config Then use the filter (top left side) and type the word, Gesture. Make the following changes to the following 2 fields: browser.gesture.pinch.in ~ enter the field and type, cmd_fullZoomReduce browser.gesture.pinch.out ~ enter the field and type, cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
These changes should immediately restore the pinch gestures you are used to. Try it as soon as you make the changes and let us know. I've included a screenshot.
Note the changes in the 2 lines and make them. This worked for me. Good luck.

Pinch to zoom not working in Illustrator CS6

After replacing a lot of the hardware in my MacBook Pro and re-installing CS6, I've found that pinch-to-zoom no longer works in Illustrator.
It's functioning fine in InDesign and PhotoShop though.
Am I missing some preference option to enable multi-touch gestures?

yes, what in the world is going on with this latest OS, even claimed to be world's most advanced!?
I was shocked enough when I realized no 4finger swipe to switch apps, and 3finger swipe to go back and forth between pages not working when you have 3finger drag enabled
now what's utterly frustrating is NO MORE PINCH TO ZOOM IN FINDER
this is like one of the most important functions in the OS, and it's gone!?
this must come back
please fix these in the next update

Pinch to zoom not working on safari

I have a 2012 macbook pro running mountain lion. when im on safari, my pinch to zoom gesture doesnt work. i can double tap and it will zoom in and out, but i really need the pinch to zoom gesture back. ive tried pinch to zoom on other apps like iphoto, and preview, but it doesnt work on safari. everything else does though.. and i never messed around with the settings. When i looked into the settings, pinch to zoom was on..
can anyone help?

I get this too, but quiting and re-opening Safari fixes the issue until it stops again.

Trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari

Recently began having trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari. I am continually asked to upgrade my Safari to a newer edition; however, when I do a software upgrade check it tells me I have the latest edition. Anyone else having this trouble?

Your OS is way out of date and thus your version of Safari and Firefox are too. It would be wise to update Tiger using the combo update found here:http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
Then you can further update Safari to it's current version using Softwareupdate from the Apple menu.
You can also use Firefox Help menu to update to it's current version.
To be safe run Disk Utility's repair disk function from your original install disk and repair permissions before and after the update from your boot disk.
Good Luck,

Pinch to zoom not available in safari 6 on OSX lion

Hello,
Just updated safari to safari 6 using Software Update. I have a late 2011 MBpro with OSX lion 10.7.4.
Pinch to zoom is not working in safari 6, though was working fine before the update (safari 5.x). Note that pinch to zoom still works fine with other applications (preview, chrome, etc).
Any advice?
It also seems that many features are missing with lion's safari 6, versus moutain lion's safari 6 (show all tabs button, share button, etc).
Thanks.

Pinch to zoom not working properly in Safari 5.1

I have OS X 10.6.8 (downloading lion as i type). I updated safari this morning and ever since I did that, pinch to zoom isnt working right. I can pinch to zoom in, to a certain extent but I can not get as large as I want as I used to and I cannot zoom back out at all. It seems to be working properly in my other apps so I guess it's something in safari. I'm not very Mac savvy since everything usually works and I dont have to be, so maybe I'm missing something? Help! I use this feature CONSTANTLY and desperately want it back. Thanks in advance!

Pinch to Zoom not working

Hi,
Just bought an iPhone and my pinch to zoom on certain web pages isnt working. eg: on google I cant pinch and zoom on any search results or pictures in the 'Images' tab. When I click on an image it still wont zoom.
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Does anyone have any suggestions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

There is nothing wrong with the phone.
The web page is coded to not allow pinch to zoom.
There is nothing you can do.

My iPads Pinch to Zoom not working

I have just bought the new iPad, I am running iOS 6 and there is a particular website I can't pinch and zoom with. However with this same website I can pinch and zoom on my iPhone 4 running iOS 6. So I doubt it's an iOS 6 issue. Can anyone help? I called Apple they told be to contact the websites administrators, like I would really get a response. Can someone with a iPad 3 running iOS 6 help me test the site? Thanks.

Why is pinch to zoom not working on 10.5.8 OSX?

Just noticed that this has not been working for most of my applications. I tried finding answers in other Apple Support related topics but none seemed to help and are outdated.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

THis seems to be a trend amongst websites that think they know better when it comes to zooming. Perhaps they don't want you zooming the ads out of view.
The best solution I've found is to create a bookmark, any bookmark, then edit the bookmark and put the following javascript into the URL field.
javascript:document.querySelector('meta%5Bname=viewport%5D').setAttribute('conte nt','width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=10.0,user-scalable=1');
I keep this bookmark on a button at the top of the screen and tap it when I hit a website that won't allow zooming. Some of us like to enlarge the text because our eyes aren't as good as they used to be.

Safari Pinch and Zoom not working on one web site

Now I thought the zoom in/out feature just worked when ever you wanted on Safari. Well I heard about the iPhone-version of the MacTech web site, so I went to check it out. Well now I can't zoom in/out on that site. It's totally ignoring me, so I opened another Safari window and went to a different site; low and behold the zoom works fine. So I go back to MacTech, and still the zoom doesn't work. So what gives?
This really s* since if I've viewing the MacTech website while holding my iPhone vertically I can't shrink the page down to see everything and I'm forced to scroll side to side.
I really hope that Apple hasn't provided web sites a way of blocking our zooming, as it is a fantastic feature.
Oh, the web site is:
www.mactech.com/commapplenewsforiphone.php
in case anyone else wants to try it out.

They've set:
meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=2.3, user-scalable=no"
It's the user-scalable that's the problem. Apple considers the default (per their web coding rules at http://developer.apple.com/iphone/designingcontent.html to be yes.
I've noticed the same thing.
