Multi-touch gestures stop working?

Apple, there is an annoying bug in Mountain Lion that needs to be fixed.  Sometimes when we wake our computers from sleep, multi-touch gestures stop working.  The problem is related to the Dock.  Restarting the dock by typing "killall Dock" into Terminal and hitting return provides a temporary resolution, but the problem will eventually return.  There are several other posts in this forum and others.  Seems like there should be an easy fix to what is the only complaint I currently have with your new operating system.
Thanks.

  • Multi touch gestures not working in mountain lion?

    Any one else having problems with their multi gesture trackpad not working when you wake your notebook from sleeping with Mountain Lion? If I restart it fixes it but once it falls asleep it stops working again.

    I've been having the same problem.  When my MBP would wake from sleep any touch gestures that used more than two fingers would not work.  I also had the issue where the MBP would forget the wireless network when it woke from sleep.  I found this answer on another thread and it worked on both issues for me.

    Is anybody else having issues with multi-touch gestures not working? ie- pinch to zoom

    I was having the same issue with gestures.  The pinch zoom wasn't working but the fwd/reverse to next cut with 3 finger swipe was working.  A workaround is www.magicprefs.com - a free magic mouse/trackpad app.  Under preferences/rotate & pinch - I just added the zoom in/out function & it works.  Hope this helps.

  • Multi-touch gestures suddenly stop working

    Hi! I'm having problems with multi-touch gestures in browsers such as Safari, Chrome. Suddenly, 'double tap zoom' stops working during browsers use. Also, when I pinch to zoom, pinch to unzoom stops working. I'm using a MBPR 15" mid 2012, OS X Mavericks. These problems stalk me since Mountain Lion. Only reboot helps, but it doesn't solve the problem.

    Try resetting the PRAM.

    A better solution is to try a number of better, free alternatives. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    I use Apple's Pages ($19.99) as well as OpenOffice and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?, will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?

    I have a macbook pro, purchased late 2006... I can scroll with 2 fingers so I'm wondering if it will support the multi touch gestures before I purchase OS X Lion?
    Thanks!

    Probably Not. Im sorry.
    The new macs have a different kind of trackpad that is more sensitive to touch.  And Apple doesn't make new stuff for old macs because most people have a new mac and because the old hardware is not fast enough to run it. Im sorry.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can I not use multi-touch gestures on my original iPad with iOS 5?

    Why can I not use multi-touch gestures on my original iPad with iOS 5?

    It would appear that apple has managed to p1ss off  alot of ipad one users in one fowl swoop, what makes it worse is that fact we were the early adoptors who got asked, why do you want a big iphone for? and then spent time showing people how good it was! actually promoting it for apple! and then to get this kick in the teeth is frustrating! i wish i had known about xcode before!
    however!
    keep sending feedback, i must have sent twenty yesterday and will keep sending them untill i get a reply from these idiots! and wont stop untill i do, the more feedback sheets we fill in the more they will have to listen, it takes less than a min, i just asking the same question! moaning on here wont do anything, feedback might
    also note they have changed the website now, but they have not changed the iOS5 spash screen :
    (•          AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
              •          Multitasking Gestures for iPad
              ◦          Use four or five fingers to pinch to the Home Screen
              ◦          Swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar
              ◦          Swipe left or right to switch between apps)
    clearly they were planning on releasing this update to us, otherwise on the spalsh screen it would have stated ipad 2 only, note in the sentence above it states it CLEARLY makes a reference to ipad 2 for airplay, so, whatever the problem, they can fix it and they know it works!

  • GS70 Stealth multi touch gestures Windows 8

    I currently own the GS70 Stealth. It was working fine for the first 4-5 months.
    However, recently the touchpad stopped responding.
    I reinstalled the drivers from the MSI website and it helped in making the touchpad respond.
    However, the two finger scrolling multi-touch gesture still does not work.
    Could anyone help me please? Do I need to update the BIOS? I do not wish to resort to updating the BIOS as then I will have to take it back to the shop.
    Thank you!

    This sounds more like a hardware problem to be honest. I'd contact MSI for an RMA.

  • Yoga 13 touch screen stopped working after update KB3000850, please help!

    Hi, my Yoga 13 touch screen has been working fine until yesterday. The laptop came with Windows 8, and last year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 without issue. Yesterday, I installed optional update KB3000850 from Windows Update, and immediately the touch screen stopped working. I have tried the following methods, all without success:
    * Uninstall KB3000850 from Windows Update
    * Use Windows Restore to restore to the point before yesterday
    * Re-install Intel Chipset Driver from Lenovo official driver page
    * In Device Manager, uncheck all the "allow system to turn off to save power" options for the USB input devices under Human Interface Devices then restart
    * Two-button shutdown and restart
    * Install Lenovo Driver Manager and let it check for new drivers
    * Download Cando multi touch panel driver (Note: I could not install the driver because all I got was a .cab file which does not allow me to install)
    As of now my touch screen is still not working. Computer Information page from Settings shows that there is no touch or pen device for my screen.
    Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

    Very true, this has been a known problem since the first day Lenovo released the Yoga 13.
    I need to send Lenovo a bill for my time spent rebooting.  So far i am on my 8th reboot.  In the past, around 5 reboots after winddows update would work.  This time... who knows.
    Of course it always happens when you have a deadline.
    Please post back if you have found a better soultion than system restore.
    Thanks for posting this issue.  More users need to bring this to Lenovo's attention.

  • Can you use Mac OS X Lion multi touch gestures in Firefox?

    On Wednesday, Apple release the new OS X Lion and there are now Multi Touch gestures using the trackpad. I am able to use those gestures in Safari, but I was wondering if there is a way I can use the multi-touch gestures in Firefox.

    This appears to be a problem firefox are aware of and are working on, and with some possible workarounds, see also thread: ''"Back/Forward Gestures do not work in Mac OS X Lion" '' -> [/questions/853020]

  • Gestures stopped working

    I am using both magic mouse and trackpad.  (still trying to decide if I like the trackpad.) I have been using both for about a month, but just in the last few days pretty much all of the multi-touch gestures have quit working on both. They will not scroll or swipe.

    This may work...  I have a similiar problem, it happens every few days, but if I go in and deselct all the gestures in system preferences, and then re-check them all and restart my coputer, they all start working again.
    This started happening on my Mac Mini after I upgraded recently, still searching for a permanent solution.

  • What happened to the multi-touch gestures in Finder?

    I've updated to Lion last week.  Overall, I think what Apple did was great to the overall experience.  However, my only gripes are in Finder.  What happened to the multi-touch gestures?  The only thing that I can do is flip through files in cover view using two finger swipes.
    What happened to the pinch to zoom in and out?  I've seen other posts about this so I'll stop here.  Apple please bring this function back.  I'm tired of moving my mouse to the drag handle. 
    Secondly, I was using three finger swipes to navigate to the previous and next folder in Finder.   Since two finger is used to flip through cover view, I see why they couldn't extend the back/forward function to two finger swipes as they did in Safari and I know that three finger swipe is used to change desktops.  I wish that Apple was more creative to leave this function in somehow.
    Is there a way to bring these functions back to Finder?  These are the functions that I used all the time.

    That doesn't explain why they would remove the pinch to zoom in and out.  That is not be used by anything else in finder.  If I'm going through pictures, I would like to zoom in on the images for cover view.
    As far as the three figure swipes to go back and forth in finder, I understand why that has been removed.  However, Apple could have implemented the two finger swipe just like in Safari which is sensitive to the acceleration of the swipes.  If you swipe with two fingers somewhat fast, you can go back and forth between previous and next page.  If you swipe with two fingers slowly, you can pan left and right on the same page.
    They could have done something to retain the functionality versus taking out the functionality all together.  As of now, these functionalities do not exist.  I'm hoping that something is going to change and we'll have to see what the future brings.
