Multi-Touch Gesturing on iPhone 4

Hi guys, i did the whole XCode via MacBook Pro thing with my iPad 2, that gave me Multi-Touch Gesturing which is sooo sweet....4-5 finger swipe accross apps, 4-5 finger swipe up to show the mult-tasking pane; 4-5 finger pinch-close to get to the home screen........What can beat that??????
Issue is , I tried to do the same steps (via Xcode on my MacBook) for my iPhone but it doesnt work on my iPhone..the feature doesnt exist in settings.... , maybe they just built it for iPad?
Does anyone know?

Agreed. I just assumed it would be functional on my fancy new 4s, I was shocked that it was missing! I stared at the settings panel for way too long, then busted out the iPad and compared settings panels, indeed, the toggle is completely absent on the iPhone!
A three finger up/down for task bar, left/right for app switch, and pinch for home would be awesome.

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!

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]

Multi-touch gestures for opening the tab groups

The regular shortcut for opening the tab groups is Ctrl+Shift+E. I'm wondering if there is a way to assign a multi-touch gesture to do this.
So for example, currently, browser.gesture.swipe.down is set to scroll to the bottom of the page. I love this! However, I don't use it very often and would instead like to reassign this gesture to open up the tab groups. Is this possible with Firefox 4? If not, I think it should be :)
Thanks,
Hristo

Try <b>TabView.toggle</b>

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.

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

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.

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.

I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

What model computer do you have? some early trackpads will not support all gestures.
Front Row was dropped by Apple in Lion. I beleive it can be recovered from Snow Leopard, I haven't tried it myself.

I just upgraded my Macbook (late 2007) into X Lion , but the multi touch gestures is not working. Is this not compatible with my Macbook?

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.

Pros and Cons to "booting" iPad 2 as developer to use multi-touch gestures??

Just like it sounds...
I have a new iPad 2 that i would like to have more multi-touch gestures and have heard doing this will do it. Also, heard that possibly the new iOS 5 will have it already. So how exactly do i do this and what are the pros and cons.
thanks,
John

It should be enabled in iOS 5 later in the year - from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#more :
iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps

Why only one multi-touch gesture? (Suggestions for more)

The only multi-touch gesture is for rotating the screen. In having my nano for a week I've found it time consuming to get to where I want in the menus a lot of the time. A few more multi-touch gestures could solve this problem. I'd suggest one that takes you directly to the main home screen and a second that is the equivalent of hitting the "Now Playing" icon. They could be two finger swipe left for home and two finger swipe right for now playing.

Hello Dustin,
Perhaps you should leave this as feedback to Apple through this link.

Can't get multi touch gesture on my ipad

I just downloaded the new iOS 4.3 software on my iPad and I got all the new updated features except the multi touch gesture. Is anybody else having problems and what can I do to get it?

Multi-Touch Gestures on the ipad were part of the original IOS 4.3 beta 1. Apple decided to remove Multi_Touch Gestures from the last two beta's and the final built of IOS 4.3. Multi-Touch Gestures may be a part of the operating system in future releases. the only way to enable Multi-Touch Gestures on the ipad is to be a developer using XCode. If you have Xcode and not a developer there is still a way to enable Multi-Touch but the iPad may suffer problems if your developer creditentals are not put in.
