T430s Two finger scroll not working reliably

Hi!
Sometimes it works, sometimes it takes the skin of my fingers to get two finger scroll working.
The system update does not see a reason to update the drivers.
Is there more effective software for the synaptic touchpad to do two finger scroll?

Hi, theking2
System Update is a very useful tool, but I find it best to always check for driver updates manually, just in case the updater missed something. The latest version of the Syanptics driver can be found here and may help your issue.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Two finger scroll not working in Microsoft Word for Mac

Just finished installing Yosemite today and haven't had any real issues...however, I've noticed that two-finger scrolling doesn't work in Microsoft Word for mac. It works fine in many other applications (including other Microsoft apps--Excel & PowerPoint), but not Word.
I've looked for any scrolling options that may be "unchecked" in the preferences, but haven't found any.

I'm having the same issue. However, I have restarted and it still won't work. This is extremely frustrating as I have the latest updates and everything but it doesn't work and I keep forgetting every time I try to scroll.
I'm also having the issue of whenever my Mac goes to sleep or if I turn it off, the log in screen says there are updates necessary. I feel like this is a bug because I've updated my computer like 20 times in the past few days...

Windows 8 two-finger-scrolling not working properly

Two-Finger Scrolling in Windows 8 doesn't seem to work properly on my U300S Synaptics trackpad.
Instead of just scrolling through the tiles or app on the Windows 8(.1) startscreen, individual apps are higlighted and scrolled through like when I use the arrow-keys on a regular keyboard.
Also, in the metro version of Internet Explorer you should be able to move back and forth in the browser history by horizontally doing a two-finger-scroll gesture.
Do I have to install anything besides the Synpatics driver to get this to work properly?

I am having similar problems, although I don't have the zoom issue- it is simply not scrolling. very frustrating when you are accustomed to this method. My resolution was also reset, but I don't find that as much of an issue- the scrolling I can't fix.

Two Finger Scroll Not Working on my Inspiron 3543

It's been just a month since I bought my new lappy. Usually when I start it up, the two finger scroll works just fine in the Start menu of Windows 8.1.
But after about 10 minutes or so, when I press Start for something, and try scrolling with the two fingers... BAMM !!!! It's futile. Nothing happens whatsoever.
Please help. All responses appreciated.

Hey,
First of all... Thank you for replying. I don't remember any specific update but, the Windows action center keeps downloading some additional updates if that's what you are referring to. And I also tried to update my touchpad driver, but it says that it is already up to date.
Regarding the Dell TouchPad properties, I already tried that and it is configured as per my convenience. Yet it goes through the same error.
Thank you again for suggesting.

After 10.9.4 Update, two finger scrolling not working in any App

I have all the right settings selected in System Preferences. Tried restarting the computer a couple times. I can't figure out why it is happening. Thanks for the help!

Go to system preferences, trackpad. Then go to point and click and make sure tap to click is ticked. It worked for me.

T430s two finger scroll

Hi!
More often than not two-finger scroll only works after going back and for more that 10 times on the touchpad. I have the latest drivers but two finger scroll is sluggish and unreliable to pick up.
Are there settings to improve two finger scrolling?

Hi, theking2
I did some research on your issue and I found this thread that has users with a similar issue. One of the users, hysy, linked a program called TwoFingerScroll that helped him and many others. You may want to give that a shot.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Two-Finger Scrolling Stopped Working

After updating to 10.5.6, my two-finger scrolling stopped working; everything else seems to be fine. What can I do to get it working again?

Same thing happened to me today. I've had the 10.5.6 update installed for a week and have restarted my system several times since then, and experienced no problems until now. Today was the first day I powered my system down completely (rather than just restarting) and now my trackpad is wonky.
I can use the trackpad like normal with one finger, and two-finger vertical scrolling works as long as I'm inside an application. I can also use two fingers to right-click. I just can't use two fingers to scroll in any direction besides up or down, and I can only scroll if I'm in an application or window that requires scrolling.
Inside my Trackpad preferences panel in System Prefs, there's a checkbox for "Secondary Tap" under "Two Fingers." The other options ("Scroll," "Rotate," etc.) appear but there is no checkbox next to them. There isn't a checkbox for "Swipe to Navigate" under "Three Fingers" either.
I will call Apple support and see what I can find out.

Trackpad Problems: Two-Finger Sometimes Not Working

This is a recent problem I've been having that's just surfaced only this week.
Every now and then, as I'm two-finger scrolling, the trackpad will register only one finger, consequently moving the mouse only. Settings are alright, otherwise two-finger scrolling wouldn't be working at all. It works, but sometimes it does not.

Sometimes recalcitrant trackpads can be corrected by a very through cleaning of the trackpad. See if that is the cure.
This could be it. I am using a protector film, but it's the same sheet that I've been using since 2009. The film could be deterioating. I will remove it and check. I hope the trackpad is not susceptible to staining over time...
If not, open the MBP and see if the battery has swollen and is interfering with the trackpad.
Good to know, though not likely not the case as the battery was recently changed.

Windows 8.1 two finger gestures not working

After I updated to windows 8.1 from windows 8 yesterday, none of my two finger gestures are working. (e.g. two finger scroll, two finger click, or zoom) I tried updating my Synaptics driver and nothing has changed. I still can not use any of my two finger gestures. One finger scrolling is working properly but the two finger gestures are my favorite. All my gestures worked fine until I updated to windows 8.1...
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?
Please help!

Hello HelpMe0,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand two-finger prompts are not working since upgrading to Windows 8.1. I will do my best to help, but first, I require the computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your product number
Thanks!

Two finger scrolling quit working on Windows 7 Boot Camp.

My two finger scrolling just quit working while running Windows 7 on Boot Camp. Any ideas?

Mr Tech,
I did insert my Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD once I was in Windows 7 and installed the boot camp thing, which installed all of the drivers

T430s two-finger scroll occasionally causes page to 'jump'

My problem occurs sporadically while using two-finger scroll to read documents online. I'll scroll up or down a little bit and the page will jump as if I had pressed pagedown or pageup (sometimes it jumps even further). I'm currently using Two-Finger Scroll and Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller (a Chrome extension that provides smooth scrolling similar to Mac's inertial scrolling), and I've disabled SynTPEnh.exe since it interferes with GTK+ apps. I've updated my touchpad drivers and fiddled with the settings to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, were you able to fix it?
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can share some insight regarding this issue.

I experience this sometimes, it is sporadic and doesn't happen all the time. I just scroll back to the right place. I use the trackpoint most of the time so this is not a very serious issue to me.

I can't get the two finger scroll to work, I have changed the settings and it still does not work. What do I do?, I can't get the two finger scroll to work, I have changed the settings and it still does not work. What do I do?

How can I get the scroll to work?

Thanks for replying!
It's something else to try! I am quite savy, just frustrated over what should be a simple update!!!!!
I did however try and install iTunes 10.7 on a different computer, which is clean as I ran anitvirus on it this morning, prior to downloading itunessetup.exe and it did the same thing on there too.
Having spent nearly two days trawling the internet for help I am beginning to wonder if it is not a problem with 10.7 itself? Seems like quite a lot of people have the same issues as me....and it can't be the same thing on everyone's computer!
I will try the antivirus on my laptop and go from there!!!
Thanks again for your answer.

thanks for your answer. I did not have anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
In any case: for some reason it's working again without problems.

Magic Mouse - Two Finger Swipe not working in Finder + iTunes

Hello,
since OSX 10.8 I realized that in Finder & iTunes the backward/forward navigation has stopped working with Magic Mouse (two-finger-swipe gesture).
I have already read a lot of forums as well as apple-discussions and didn't find a solution apart from MagicPrefs or any other 3rd-party-app.
Is that a bug or just not meant to work? Does anybody know why Apple stopped providing this - very useful - gesture?
Thank you for your time and have a perfect day
Sascha

Pual_31 suggested good advise...
I would also recommend if that does not work, to reboot and run "repair permissions" from Disk Utilities.
Also might suggest downloading and trying MagicPrefs, it's a free program for the Magic Mouse and it really works great. May help with your problem, may not but I'd give it a try.
