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.

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.

  • 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 I tried finding answers in other Apple Support related topics but none seemed to help and are outdated.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.

    When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
    This does not happen in Safari.

    Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

  • Help! 13" macbook pro will not boot.  Tried running disk repair from HD recovery, not repairable.  Trying to reinstall OSx Lion, says disc is locked.  Do I have to erase the drive and lose everything?  I also have Bootcamp installed, will boot to Win OK

    Tried running disk repair from HD recovery, not repairable.  Trying to reinstall OSx Lion, says disc is locked.  Do I have to erase the drive and lose everything?  I also have Bootcamp installed, will boot to Windows no problem.

    Hotrodmkviii,
    try rebooting in Recovery mode, but when you reach the Mac OS X Utilities menu, run Terminal (from Utilities in the menu bar) instead. Inside the Terminal window, give it the following command, and then press the Return key:
    diskutil list
    Please include in your reply the output from that command.

  • 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!

    Same here.
    MBP Late 2007 with Magic Trackpad
    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

  • Two-finger pinch zoom not working with safari

    Suddenly, the two-finger pinch to zoom is not working with Safari. MBP 13", SL 10.6.8 andf Safari 5.1. The View Menu Zoom control works fine, and the Pinch gesture works once thereafter, but then not. I have reloaded the Safari .plist. Gesture works with the Desktop icons and iPhoto. Any suggestions?
    TIA

    Ditto with the Newsstand-blocks-the-Home-Screen bug.
    I was eager to see the revised New York Times layout and disappointed when Newsstand wouldn't pinch closed.
    The irony is, we can finally "hide" the Newsstand in a folder but now it takes over our Home Screens. I'm hoping this will be fixed in the first update.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    Hello everyone,
    I just installed Lion on my Macbook Air 13 inches, and I cannot "pinch to zoom" anymore in the Finder or on the desktop. (but it works fine in Aperture for example)
    Anyone has this problem ? I checked the options, but could not find anything.
    Thank you for your help !

  • Quicktime Plugin Issue in Safari on Mac OSX Lion.

    (Strange) Safari - Quicktime - issue on Mac OSX Lion (All Updates done - 20/11/2011)
    Strange issue with Safari - Quicktime video playing - on Mac OSX Lion (All updates done till 20th Nov 2011 night)
    Problem discovery: Tried to view the Apple iPhone 4S Keynote on Apple Website. Strange that Safari does not display any videos from Apple Website.
    Following works OK:- You Tube worked fine.
    - Google Chrome worked fine. (It shows the quick time player loading and then displays the video absolutely fine.)
    Conclusion: There is some problem with Safari Quicktime Plug-in.
    Strange Discovery:
    - There are two users on the MAC. Logged in with a general user (Non Admin)
    - When tried to view Apple Videos on Safary ... THEY WORKED FINE !!! 
    - The user where they donot work is an ADMIN User ... Strange !!!
    System:
    - Mac-Mini 2010 - 8 GB RAM - with OSX Lion fully software updated until 20th Nov 2011 night.
    - DIVX is installed and is also a paid version - registered with DIVX website.
    - VLC is installed.
    - Perian was installed - after problem discovery - uninstalled it - no use.
    Please help with a solution if anyone has faced and solved this problem. Sub question is : If DIVX / anyother plug-in causes problems with QuickTime plugin on Safari, why does it affect only one user on the system and not other users on that system ?
    Notes:
    1) There is a similar looking thread on MacRumors here but concluded that required to start a seperate one with clear problem statement.
    2) Apple Forums
    (a) One thread on topic that hints that some 3IVX plug-in can cause issues with Safari Quicktime Plugin: here
    (b) Another thread from Apple Forum, that hints that DIVX causes problems to Safari Quicktime Plug in, Link is Here

    Refer to a thread on Apple Discussions Forum itself, Link is HERE; refer to the posting by "Charles Cole",

    Charles writes about DIVX and QuickTime Plugin conflict in Safari:
    One thing I've discovered that might help anyone having a Quicktime Plug-in issue. If you have DivX as a codec on your system (usually installed to play .avi files) you'll want to uninstall it so that Sarfari 5.1 will default to the Quicktime Plug-In and not the DivX plug-in. Otherwise, you can't see Quicktime movies in Safari.
    Note: this post is about and at the time of OSX Lions launch, i.e. 10.7.0.
    Now we have 10.7.2, still cannot believe Apple has not fixed this bug !!!

  • QuickTime 10.1 does not seem to be compatible with OSX Lion  - clicking on the displayed file window switches to another displayed app, doesn't play or control the video.

    If I open a movie file (appears to be any type - .mov, m4v, mv4) it displays on the desktop, but when clicked, the Mac reverts to another open application (immediately UNDER to point of the mouse click) and not the displayed movie file.  It appears the screen mapping is flawed...
    Anyone else have this problem? (does not appear to be a problem with QT7)  Running OSX Lion 10.7.3 and QT Player 10.1 (501.8) - all most current as far as I can tell...

      Yes, same problem. The active clickable area appears to be shifted down and to the right as if it is the shadow mask (to make it look like layers in the display) that is responding. Means you can't move the control palette to the top of the window (to not block security video with time track at bottom) or even close the window. The X in the bubble appears when moused over but the click goes through it.
      Most obvious if you open more than one movie at a time and they cascade. You can't get at the ones underneath until a few down the stack and it gets an upper wrong one.
      Who's testing these things?
      For comparison testing to recreate problem: Mac Pro (System Information has also been dumbed down from System Profiler, push System Report for the useful stuff) with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 driving two displays.
       Also viewing desktop of another computer on the network is slower and, for instance in World of Warcraft, the hand pointer flickers.
      And finder windows can't be narrowed as much any more to show only a list of file names for drag and drop sorting.
      Was hoping that by 10.7.3, it would be safe to jump, since several posts told me how to Terminal > networksetup -setv6off Ethernet to fix iTunes streaming to expresses and other dumb bugs.
