Safari trackpad gestures font resize suddenly disabled in 10.8.2 after update? Can't find way to re-enable.

Hello, I rarely come here for help but I am really puzzled...
Safari trackpad gestures font resize were suddenly disabled in 10.8.2 and I wonder if it was after a recent update?
Can't find way to re-enable. Checked everywhere (Touchpad, Accessibility, etc.).

I had a similar problem with my mac. I connect via Airport and one day after I updated some 3rd party software I had the same experience with Software update. I also couldn't connect using Safari however Firefox worked fine and as expected the Network was hooked up and running fine. I didn't try adding an Administrator account which sounds like a good idea since I just did a backup of my system the night before. I cloned my mac from my external drive and everything worked fine. I believe that a system file was corrupt which was causing my problems. So if the new Administrator account doesn't work it's a system wide problem and you options would be to archive and install or using a backup if one is available. Good luck.

    My Apple ID has been disabled on my iPad, I assume because my credit card was hacked.  I have entered a new card but am still getting the same message.  What can I do now?

    How do I get support?  I can't find a number or a chat anywhere on the many sites I have visited.  Can you provide information for either one?

    I don't think you can change DPI in iPhoto. You can do it in Preview or an App like Graphic Converter. Here is a screenshot from Preview. Preview is located in your Application Folder

  • Cannot disable SVG source code copying after update to Illustrator 18.1.0

    To get vector graphics into MS Word I just copy and paste the drawing. Until yesterday it worked fine.
    Since I've updated to Illustrator 18.1.0 today in the morning even if I turn off "Copy SVG code" in the preferences I only get the SVG code into MS Word and not the illustration.

    Hi Manuel,
    Thanks for reporting the issue. Yes there is some problem in honoring of on and off  of  "Copy SVG Code"  but the issue can be of word as well as it is working fine in excel and PowerPoint.
    When you right click and paste in Word only one option comes up i.e. "keep text only" whereas in excel and PowerPoint we have two options "Picture" and "keep text only".
    Meanwhile we look into issue, here is an easy workaround for you:-
    1) In the Home tab of MS Word click the clipboard fly out.
    2) It will list all the items you have copied.
    3) Click on any item to insert it.
    Thanks,
    Mohit

  • Firefox is suddenly crashing unexpectedly on my Mac, and I can't find a reason.

    I have run Firefox (Version 3.6.12) on my Mac for several years, without a problem. About 2 weeks ago, , it started crashing unexpectedly. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the crashes, except that they seem to happen when I open a new page. It doesn't seem to matter what page I'm going too, CNN, Yahoo, Facebook.
    I get a long failure notice. I though about posting it and can send a copy to anyone

    Hi Carolyn:   Thanks for the suggestion regarding the screen swipe.  I did this before logging this question. 
    HI King:  You were spot on.
    To the Apple community:  Thank you for the quick responses.  I empathize with Apple's challenge -- the technical support logistics are exponentially more difficult in supporting consumer products -- especially non-commoditized products -- than in supporting an enterprise products.  So thank you to the Apple community for reaching out to help the company as an adjunct.  It certainly is unique. 
    This does not alleviate Apple's responsibility to release note this issue, to insert a message on the screen telling the user to reboot or to create a fix in a future software release that allows the icon to show up without rebooting.    Thanks

  • How to use trackpad gestures with Windows 8 Developer Preview?

    I have installed a Windows 8 Developer Preview on my MacBook via BootCamp Assistant. I found that it isn't support the trackpad gestures! (ex: two-fingers tap to right-click)
    So how can I use the trackpad gestures with Windows 8?
    Thank you for all reply.

    The BootCamp drivers that you can download and burn to a disc via the Boot Camp application in Mac OS can be installed in Windows 8 (run setup.exe from the disc while in Windows 8, preferably by right-clicking and choosing "Run as Administrator") and will allow you to use all of the current features of the touchpad (including two finger clicking/tapping).  Once you have installed the drivers as described above, you can then click on the arrow in the System Tray and right-click on the black triangle that is for the BootCamp control panel. In those settings you can change how the touchpad responds to your taps, clicks, etc.

  • Home Wifi suddenly disabled.  Can't enable.

    Hi all.  This just happened yesterday. I have had no problem connecting to my home wi-fi since I got the phone in Nov 2012. 
    Then last night I noticed that my home network is disabled on the phone.  I can't find a place to 'enable' it.  I've re-put in the password, checked that it works with a laptop and it does.  'Forget it, then re-found it.  Re-started the phone a couple of times.   When I  click 'connect' it flashes the 'secured with  WPA/WPA2 PSk' then goes back to 'disabled'.  I’ve put wifi on and off several times.
    I have changed nothing on my modem.
    It is so frustrating.   Is there a place to ‘enable’ that I don’t see?
    I don't know what else to do!

    Hi, yes I have.  Still shows as 'disabled'. It is so odd, since it has been working just fine since I got it, last Nov.
    And now I am in the office and it shows 'disabled' under all the ones I can access with or without passwords!
    What is going on!!!
    Looks like I am not able to access any Wifi at all.  Of course wifi is turned on, but any connection is showing 'disabled.'.

  • Why all of a sudden all my music goes into ! Can not find file mode ?

    Why all of a sudden my itunes music goes into a ! Can not find file would you like to locate it?

    Thanks everyone...the problem seem to be with the battery itself.  I've had this phone for about 6 months.  Up until a few days ago I had no problems...charge would last for up to 2 days.  All of a sudden it draining like crazy.  I ran batter doctor and closed everything that could drain the batter.  Still no luck.  Battery drained  3% in less then 10 minutes.
    I've contacted our local Verizon store and they will take care of the problem.
    I appreciate everyone's suggestions.

  • V8.1 -- how to modify the colour/font, resize, disable attribs of all class

    Hi,
    I tried to follow the instruction in the Help section, i.e. by selecting multiple items while keeping CTRL or SHIFT pressed, and then do it by right clicking etc.
    I am able to do all these changes for individual classes, but that's a pain. I'd like to have a way to do it for all classes in one go. Any way to do so ?
    thanks,
    bd

    Sorry for the inconvenience but currently there's global settings for changing the color/font as well as hiding attribute compartments for classes. Each class has to be changed individually for certain properties for now, eg showing/hiding attribute/operation compartment. Other properties can be changed for multiple selected elements, eg, color/font, resize, etc. through the popup menu. Popup menu Edit->Set Dimension can be used to change the size of multiple selected classes. Class->Font | Font Color | Background Color | Border Color can be applied to multiple selected classes.
    I think we already have issue filed on this, which we'll be redesigning our preferences in the next release (NB6.0).

  • Notification center trackpad gesture bug

    After update to Yosemite, when I swipe trackpad left from the right edge to see the notification center, there is lag on it.
    Furthermore, when I swipe right to close this, it is not closed properly, but part of it still appears on the screen like the below picture.
    10.10.1 does not solve this bug. Is there any other way to solve this?
    I am using rMBP 15 inch last 13.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • No Trackpad Gestures, quitting flash player, and ticking harddrive

    1. Just recently my trackpad gestures have stopped working in Safari. All I get is the 2 finger scroll. The 3 finger page forward/page back doesn't work, and neither does the pinch.
    2. My Adobe flash player quits all the time when I'm watching movies.
    3. And my hard drive has recently started making the "Thinking" noise. It has always been silent before.
    Any thoughts? I appreciate all help!

    It says my disk is fine. I noticed that it would always make that noise while using windows in bootcamp, but never OSX. Now it does it sometimes. Maybe it has some fragmented files that is causing the HD arm to search all over? Who knows. Whats bothering me the most is my trackpad gestures all of a sudden not working. I have snow leopard but the gestures still worked. So I have no clue what caused this change.

  • Back/forward trackpad gestures in other places (Finder, Firefox, ...) in os x lion

    the two finger slide effect for browseing history (of a tab) in safari seems such a cool new feature
    however , I couldn't figure out which trackpad gesture shall I use to navigate in other applications
    such as finder to browse one folder up....
    does anybody know any solution?

    To get it to work in Finder, you have to set 'Swipe between pages' to 'Swipe with 2 or 3 fingers' in Trackpad preferences.
