My macbook pro won't zoom anymore

i went to system preferences and trackpad and the zoom buttons are all checked off. i'm able to zoom in and out using "command, +/-", but the trackpad won't let me zoom by pinching

There are two places on settings where you can tunr zoom on or off for the trackpad.
They both need to be on for it to work.
The first is under: system preferences>trackpad>scroll & zoom, then you just need to chekc the box to turn zoom on. ( this is the one you already have checked i think)
The second is under: system preferences>universal access>seeing, then check the box that says zoom.
Hope this helps.

  • MacBook pro won't boot anymore

    Today my MacBook pro was running a bit slow so I shut it down and started it up again, it never got to the desktop and now just sits on a blue screen with the occasional loading wheel. I've tried booting of the system disc but it just goes to the blue screen again. This has happened before and it turned out to be a faulty hard drive, I'm hoping isn't the case as it's not covered by the warranty anymore. Any help will be appreciated.

  • My Macbook Pro won't start anymore - Tries to start then shuts off...

    I bought a new Macbook Pro recently to replace my old Macbook Pro. Before I began transferring files, my old Macbook Pro told me to update all my software first. I updated the software and then went to restart. After I restarted the old MBP wouldn't turn on properly.
    Every time I turn it on, it makes the default Mac noise, then shows the apple logo for a few seconds before shutting off to black screen. This has happened ever since.
    I've heard people saying I can fix this via single user mode or reinstalling the OS, but I no longer have the disks. I also can't take it into the Genius Bar since THe screen is very cracked making it difficult to transport via subway.
    I'd appreciate any direction or advice I can get since I'd really like to recover a lot of the files. Some people I know don't think it's hardware issue, let me konw what you think!
    Thanks for your help.

    I've backed up some. But I'd love to be able to get at the other stuff on there. I'm going to acquire the disks although I just don't remember which version of 10.5 it is.
    Also do you think there would be any way to transfer the files even if its not completely booted up? Like if I used Migration Assistant through a firewire or ethernet? Or would I have to OK the transfer somehow on the other computer. There must be some what to tap into the hard drive without booting completely through.
    THanks for your help.

  • Help, my macbook pro won't start anymore

    Hello all,
    I have had some issues with my macbook pro lately:
    A few weeks ago, my Macbook started freezing and making alarm sounds. I didn't do anything about it because it happened only a few times per week.
    Suddenly it happened 4 or 5 times in a row, and after x times my Macbook wouldn't go past the grey start-up screen (Apple logo loading). So I was unable to login.
    I solved the ''issue'' by erasing the disk. My Macbook worked again, but all data was gone. The freezing issue was gone as well.
    But 2 days ago, it started.. again. And today, my Macbook suddenly crashed/shut down. Now, I am not even able to start my macbook. It doesn't show anything, if I press the power button, nothing happens.
    I did a SMC reset, and my Macbook worked, but only for 15 minutes. It just happened again. Something is clearly wrong and I don't know what.
    Sometimes, my Macbook instanly freezed when I connected the power cord. And I think the power cord is broken, last few days it barely charged the Macbook.
    Please help : (.
    Stores close in 2 hours (9 PM), and I need to find a solution. What do I need to replace and buy?
    **PLEASE HELP**

    - The memory you are talking about, that's the same as RAM right?
    Yes.
    It's unclear whether you did anything with the memory or not, but even if you didn't, even a Mac's originally installed RAM could fail and cause the exact symptoms you describe. To test memory you can use Apple Hardware Test, though only a report of a failure can be considered definitive.
    Also, I checked my magsafe, and the 2 power connectors are a little bit curved/bent. I am planning on buying a new Magsafe + new RAM (memory?). I think that will fix it?
    I don't know, but it's not a good idea to use a power adapter or a MagSafe connector that you know is damaged.
    For a definitive diagnosis it would be best to take your Mac to an Apple Store for evaluation. Schedule an appointment. Bring your power adapter. Even if you have to purchase a new power adapter there, the price isn't very different than you are likely to find anywhere else. Counterfeit, non-Apple power adapters can be hazardous to you, your Mac, your property, or all three, so buy it from Apple.
    Memory on the other hand is another story. You can purchase RAM guaranteed to work from one of two vendors known to support Macs - Crucial or OWC / MacSales - much cheaper than from Apple.

  • MacBook Pro won't start after changing access rights

    I did something very wrong. Unfortunately I changed the access rights of Macintosh HD for "everyone" to none.
    Result, my MacBook Pro won't start anymore.
    Already tried the installation disk, reset password for root and users. No result.
    Help program "check acces rigths". Didn't work either.
    How do I reset the access rights of Macintosh HD?

  • My new Macbook Pro won't start.

    Hello. So today i got my new MacBook Pro 13''. I started to use it and competely emptied battery. Now i can't turn it on, it don't charge and my MagSafe charge don't blink. What do i do? It's my first Mac and first problem in first day, it makes me mad.

    I'm having a similar problem and I'm ready to explode. I have a huge work deadline tomorrow and can't get the work done. My 4 month old macbook pro won't charge anymore. I'm now on an old pc desperately searching for help.
    I switched to my first mac because everyone said how great they were. Since when does a nearly new laptop stop charging? apparently this is a common problem and my sales person did not inform me when I asked specifically about potential bugs. I am furious, frustrated and very unhappy with this. Apple, you suck tonight.
    Here's the problem: The light on the magsafe adapter did not work this evening when I tried to charge it. I did nothing out of the ordinary. It was on the desk and I plugged it in as usual.  I spent an hour on the phone and online trying to get apple support to no avail. Apparently their 24/7 line is not 24/7 in Canada?
    I cannot remove the battery as the site says, so I'm completely screwed at the mercy of this bullcrap brand. I did everything advised on the site, including checking the SMC and the cord itself. With only 20 minutes left and the battery ticking, I tried to email myself all the files I need, but they're huge and just when it was near finishing, the battery went from 10 to 21 minutes and it shut down.
    Now it won't turn on, of course. The little button on the side has only one green light flashing. The adapter does nothing. NO red or green like before.
    I am at my cottage and do not have an apple dealer nearby. Who can I scream at for this? All my previous computers could be easliy fixed when things go wrong. Remind me what is so great about this overpriced mean little machine!%^%!^*%&!(
    WHY does a NEW laptop that costs a premium have such a fragile adapter / battery?  Is there another adapter I can use to charge it? I'm at my wit's end.

  • Macbook Pro won't connect to wireless printer anymore suddenly

    Suddenly my Macbook Pro won't connect to my HP Photosmart B210e Printer.  I have tried adding it via IP address, it worked but I can't print anything.  It says the printer is busy and idle?  I updated the software and drivers.  All other computers and devices in my home connect just fine.  It is connected to our wireless router as is my laptop.
    I have searched online and done all the solutions I could find and nothing is working.  VERY frustrated as I have to log onto my Dell to print anything.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Kim

    "It says the printer is busy and idle?"
    System Preferences>print and Scan. What is the staus of the printer? Green light for idle or yellow light for in busy? Have you tried power down the printer and paowering it back up?

  • DVD Player on MacBook Pro won't work?

    My DVD player on my MacBook Pro won't work! I can hear the sound of the video, but the actual image won't appear. Plus, I can't watch things on Youtube in full screen anymore because my computer won't show it. And finally, some of my images are very pixelated. I'm getting super frustrated that nothing will work. Please help me!
    -Katie

    Many times, these types of problems can be 'fixed' by using a commerical DVD 'cleaning' kit (usually available at local electronics stores, Amazon, etc.). If 'cleaning' doesn't work, you may have a faulty SuperDrive. But I would try the cleaning method first, beofre taking your machine into an Apple Store or AASP.
    Good luck,

  • Macbook Pro won't start-up (black screen)

    Hello,
    I'm having some problems with starting my Macbook Pro
    specs of my macbook pro are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP13 (15,4 inch 2,2 ghz)
    My macbook pro won't start up anymore, i press the start-up button, it makes the 'krie'-sound then the vans start spinning slowly and then he get's quiet. (screen stays black and the light at the mousepad is on).
    I tried:
    -Connect it to power and wait 15 min. then try again -> same result
    - hardware test (installation disc 1 and then press d) -> screen stays black but the disc starts spinning
    - pram-reset, -> same result
    the only thing i didn't do is check if my ram-sticks are still in position (i never bought new ram, but maybe it started to get loose)
    what to do?

    Just google Nvidia 8600m, and problem, or oh god my screen is dead, and see what comes up.
    Once again, if you have a Macbook Pro from mid-late 2007, chances are you have a bad chip. They will replace your logic board, with another bad chip, which may or may not go bad. It's an obvious issue, Nvidia admits they have a problem, and Apple is just going to quietly resolve individual problems.
    If your computer turns on but the screen doesn't, it's about 99% likely it's the GPU. Go ahead and let Apple replace it. Oh, and if you have a MBP from that time period and don't have apple care. GET IT NOW. You will most likely have a Black Screen Of Death at some point, and Apple care is cheaper than the repair (which may or may not work). Some people have gone though three logic boards. Good luck.

  • Macbook Pro won't connect to WIFI

    Help! My new Macbook Pro won't connect to my home's existing WIFI network. The other computers (PCs) are running on it without a problem but when I try to join the network it rejects my password as being incorrect, though it definitely is the right one!

    Check to make sure the Caps Lock is off.
    What type of wireless security are you using? If it's WEP Mac's don't do WEP anymore and you will need to change it to WPA or WPA2.

  • My MacBook Pro won't let me mount my external Hard Drive. Just trying to restore my iTunes library.

    My MacBook Pro, less than a year old, started acting weird. I backed everything up, took it in to Best Buy, who sent it out to Apple Repair and they put in a new motherboard.
    It's running on Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
    Now I am trying to put everything back on the computer from my external Maxtor 80GB Hard Drive. MacBook Pro won't recognize the external drive.
    I tried Disk Utility. I can see the external drive, and did a repair disk and verify disk. Several times. Each time it says "This partition map seems to be ok."
    However, I am not able to mount it, as that option is greyed out and i can't select it.
    Also, under the Icon for the external hard drive, it has the Macintosh HD Icon (essentially my computer). I tried to restore this way, didn't work.
    I need this to mount, as it has all of my itunes stuff on it; dozens of my sons movies, and my entire iTunes library.
    PLEASE HEEEEELP!! HOW CAN I MOUNT THIS EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE? Thank you in advance

    Try things in this USB/Firewire faq.

  • I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and now my MacBook Pro won't start up.

    I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and moved the system.kext and two others to my desktop and deleted the originals and now the MacBook Pro won't start up. All I get at start up is the apple icon then a bunch of text shows up part of which says Mac OS version: not yet set. then the apple icon turns into the power icon and tells me to turn off the computer. I've tried reinstalling from the install DVD by holding down option when powering on and selecting the install DVD and it just goes to a white screen with the apple icon and stays like that. I didn't have the disk utility on my Mac before this happened because I deleted it to make room on my computer a while ago so I'm not sure if that's why it won't load the install DVD but anyone who knows the solution to this with out going to get it repaired would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Never mind my dad just found the original install DVD and that worked. Before I was using an install disc that Apple sent me for another issue I was having, but thanks for replying so quickly and trying to help on this Thanksgiving day!!!

  • My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet, but my phone and PC will.

    My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet. My iPhone has no problem doing so, and neither does my PC. I think it's something to do with my DNS, but I'm not sure. My network connections say that both my Ethernet or FireWire are failed. What's wrong with my MacBook? Is there a simple way to fix this?
