My pinch zoom-in and out in my Macbook Air isnt working. Help!
Can someone please help me.. my pinch zoom in and out in my macbook air isnt working. It happened about 2 weeks ago, in the settings all the zoom preferences are checked so i dont know whats wrong with it. The pinch zoom is the only thing not working, the double tap zoom and all the rest of the capabilities of my trackpad are working properly. I called apple but they couldnt help through the phone and wants me to pay $19.99 for a one time help.. Please help!
I've also noticed that the iPhoto zoom is erratic. Sometimes I try to use the trackpad to zoom, but the image just blurs for a second instead of zooming in.
I experimented a little and found that it helps, when zooming in, to make sure that your two fingers are very close together when starting.

New MBP - Pinch (Zoom in and out) not working in iPhoto
Hello...I know it should work as it was working on the demo MBP in the apple store. Pinching is working in Preview and safari but not on desktop for icons and iPhoto.

I read that this happened to a handful of people on here and most of them just went to apple and apple switched it without a problem. I was just wondering if that would be the same for me since I don't have any warranty and I fixed my ipad before after the screen broke. But now it just went crazy on its own...would I be charged anything?
There are small magnets in the mic, but you are correct they shouldn't do it.
Try separating them anyway.
If you haven't already, try restarting the iPad: To restart (reboot) Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.
Also, you can turn the iPad off, instead of just putting it to sleep. Not a permanent fix, but a workaround until it's figured out.
Anyone else have a tip for RD ?? -
When I try to make a web page larger to view text better, I can no longer use my trackpad to do so. I must do this manually!
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

Pinch in and out on trackpad not working to zoom in and out in firefox
Ever since i bought my macbook pro (early 2011) I was able to use the pinch in and out trackpad feature to zoom in and out in firefox. This suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago. It still works in safari so this seems to be Firefox specific. All other trackpad features are still working too.
I uninstalled Firefox on my mac by moving the Firefox icon to the trash and downloaded/installed it again. Note that i didn't delete my profile (just deleted the Firefox icon) so all bookmarks were preserved even after downloading and installing Firefox from scratch. This didn't help fixing the issue.
Any ideas on this problem ? how to fix it?
Thanks!All these programs seem to be for windows. I am facing the issues with firefox on a macbook pro.
I wasn't suggesting resetting Firefox. I have already done this step a couple of days ago as I was facing connectivity issues with some websites completely freezing and not loading. reset didn't help. I started seeing the trackpad issue around the time i did the reset.
I am wondering if uninstalling Firefox and deleting all data associated with it (profiles etc) would fix the issue. Can you advise on what should be deleted with firefox? -
I installed v4.0 of Firefox and can no longer use the pinch feature on the trackpad of my MacBook. It seems to work OK in Safart and I'm wondering if there is a setting in Firefox to enable me to use that feature. The way the feature works is that you pinch your thumb & forefinger together or spread them apart to zoom in and out.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and immediately noticed I could not zoom in and out by using the two finger "pinch" action used on MacBook Pro trackpads.
I reverted to Firefox 3.6 and it works just fine.
Could you please advise me how to rectify the fault on Firefox 4
Thank youSome gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.

I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?
At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.
Here are the links, and the last one pertains to the reset to factory default condition ...

i have model A1458...been acting possessed.... apps opening and closing on their own...zooming in and out... not always responsive to my touch... what could be the problem?
The two most likely culprits would be a faulty cable/charging block or a bad digitizer. Try charging the device with a different charger and cable. If the problem goes away, then the problem is with your charger. If it does not, try the basics of resetting, restoriing from back up, restoring as new. If you still have the problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store for evaluation.
