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.

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 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 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.

Safari Pinch and Zoom not working on one web site

Now I thought the zoom in/out feature just worked when ever you wanted on Safari. Well I heard about the iPhone-version of the MacTech web site, so I went to check it out. Well now I can't zoom in/out on that site. It's totally ignoring me, so I opened another Safari window and went to a different site; low and behold the zoom works fine. So I go back to MacTech, and still the zoom doesn't work. So what gives?
This really s* since if I've viewing the MacTech website while holding my iPhone vertically I can't shrink the page down to see everything and I'm forced to scroll side to side.
I really hope that Apple hasn't provided web sites a way of blocking our zooming, as it is a fantastic feature.
Oh, the web site is:
www.mactech.com/commapplenewsforiphone.php
in case anyone else wants to try it out.

They've set:
meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=2.3, user-scalable=no"
It's the user-scalable that's the problem. Apple considers the default (per their web coding rules at http://developer.apple.com/iphone/designingcontent.html to be yes.
I've noticed the same thing.

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.

Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

Hey there sarunelis,
It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Flash not working in Safari 5

Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
1. reset Safari
2. uninstalled flash player
3. installed the flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
So, I next...
1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
2. logged out of the new account
3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
6. reset and restarted Safari
7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
1. reset Safari
2. uninstall flash player
3. install flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
Still doesn't work.
Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?
