Three finger double tap not working

Since updating to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS, the Zoom feature has stopped working.  (Actually, when I double tap with three fingers, the screen enlarges a few pixels.)  Any ideas on how to get this feature back?  So far, I've turned it on and off, rebooted the iPhone.

Double tap with three fingers and KEEP your fingers on the screen after the second tap and then drag up or down.

  • Magic Mouse - three finger double tap dictionary - not working

    A three finger, double tap on my Magic Mouse will not activate a dictionary definition in any app. All other mouse gestures work fine. The keyboard combination for that feature works fine too. How can I get that three finger gesture to work?

    No workaround so far with this problem and also no posts in the Opera forums. Just have to wait until Opera includes this functionality in their next release.
    In the meantime you can help by joining the forum (takes a minute) and posting your concern. The more people that join and voice their complaint the faster something will get coded into their browser.

  • Can't use three-finger double tap zoom.

    iPad 2 version 6.3.1.
    Couple of days ago, I tried to use the three-fingered, double-tap zoom, but it didn't work. Now, being a middle-aged person, I like to use this feature. So, tried again. Didn't work. Double tapped all over the screen. Nada. Went to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Zoom was on. Turned it off. Turned it on. Didn't work. Turned it off; turned it on again. Nope. Turned off the iPad. Turned on the iPad. Nuh-uh. Turned on, turned off the iPad again. Nah. Tried triple tapping the Home button to turn Zoom off and on again. Zilch. (Ordinary double-tap enlarge works, and so does Pinch to Zoom.)
    I'm almost ready to reset the iPad, but that is such a drastic step, I thought I'd try here first. Any thoughts?
    -- yah

    So if you double tap with three fingers and drag up the amount of zoom will increase. If you double tabp with threed fingers and drag down the amount of zoom will decrease. It is possible to have so little zoom that it looks like none.
    Is that possibly what you are experiencing?

  • Macbook Pro with Retina Display Trackpad double tap not working

    I just got my macbook pro with retina display and updated it to mountain lion. When I double tap text, it doesn't highlight it like it used to on my old macbook.
    I tried to so the trackpad update 1.0 but it says it is not supported on your system. What does that mean?? And even holding and highlighting doesn't work. is anyone else having the same problem?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

  • Track Pad single tap and double tap not working

    Dear All,
    I have a MBP A1226 model with intel 2.2 GHz Core 2 uo processor. With Mac OSX ver 10.8.4.
    My system had developed a snag, was not booting up. I booted up thru the rcovery disk and after the disk repair did not help, did a drive erese and a fresh install.
    All seems to work well except that the trackpad does not respond to single aswell as double tap. Scrolling is working fine.
    Help to resolve this issue will be appreciated.
    BTW trackpad was functinal before the snag.
    Regards

    I suspect the trackpad settings were reset when you did your fresh install of Mac OSX.
    to fix this, open up Settings>Trackpad>"Point & Click" tab.
    Here you will find tons of settings that wil let you customize how your trackpad works. More specifically, you will want to enable "Tap to Click".
    Hope this helps!

  • Multitouch trackpad double tap not working ????

    yesterday i was having oily food nd by mistake oil get on to the trackpad nd  then  my laptop went crazy, mouse started moving itself !!!!!!! after few min.i cleaned it with wet tissue paper nd afterwards every thing was fine  rtoday i noticed that double tap is not working  i am not able to drag any folder with double tap    iam doing it with click plzzz help

    It sounds that you still have contaminants in your track pad.  Take it to a qualified repair facility.  As a last resort you may spray the track pad with non-residue electrical cleaner to wash away the contaminants.  This may or may not work and entails an element of risk.
    Ciao.
    PP: Ditto to shldr2thewheel's advice (or drink).

  • Full stop 'double tap' not working!!!

    Can anyone help? All of a sudden, when writing a text or email on my 3gs (4.3.1) I can no longer use the 'double tap space bar' to insert a full stop and a space.
    I have checked the keyboard settings, turned the hone off and back on AND done a hard reset with no success.
    Has anyone seen this before?
    Thanks

    Are these issue in the forums here, only?
    This forum itself (Jive forum software) has specific issues like what you've described (at least double capital at beginning of sentences), especially with iDevies (iPad, iPhone, etc) These issues (at least the double caps) are specific to this forum only.
    Are you having these issues elsewhere, besides in this forum? If it's only in this forum, there's nothing that can be done on your end. the forum host have been notified of the issues countless times. It's up to them to make the corrections (which have not been corrected for a long time).

  • Three finger to drag not working on some areas of lpx

    For example:
    These control knobs cannot be dragged with three finger.
    Did apple intend to disable this feature on some areas of logic pro x or is it not?
    If not, what can I do to enable it?

    Use the "Pinch" and "Stretch" motions on your Trackpad and Voila! You can zoom-in and zoom out instantly.
    I haven't experienced any issues with the 3-finger drag in Logic whether it me faders, regions, etc. Did you try deleting the Logic Pref file?

  • Flex 2 14 - Two finger tap for Right-Click not working (Two finger double tap works)

    I bought my Flex 2 14 a couple of weeks back.
    I want to enable Two-finger tap (not click) for right click.. Unfortunately it does not work.
    Weirdly, Two-finger DOUBLE tap works for right click.. 
    How do I get a two-finger tap? 
    I tried the regitry hacks from here (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Yoga-Flex-Laptops-and/Yoga-2-Pro-Two-finger-tap-does-not-work/td-p/1406... but no luck yet. 
    Any help please. 

    I have found a solution but I am still annoyed I had to do my own tech work to get a common touch figure enabled. (By the way there's many threads out there on Synpatics drivers and touchpads not working right for many people on different machines.)
    Anyway, indeed the fastest fix is to modify a registry entry for Synaptics. Just open  the regisitry edit software on the Yoga and then go through the folders: HKEY LOCAL / Software / Synaptics / SynTP / Win8
    In "2FingerTapAction" all you need is to change the value from "0" to "2" - and presto two-finger tap is now a right click!
    Much easier than going through a driver install / uninstall routine or any other of the suggestions I've found out there.
    I wish Lenovo had this set up as a default. It's really a great gesture and it's quiet and fast.

  • Auto single finger double tap

    Hi, i am a disabled useR, I have apps that want me to single finger double tap, i cannot do this, is there a way i can  use assistive touch I or something else to double tap for me?

    Yes you can. Go to Settings/General/Accessibility and tap on AssistiveTouch. Turn it on (if it's not already on).
    On that same screen, tap on "Create New Gesture". On the screen that shows up, record your new gesture (double-tap anywhere on the grey screen). Next tap the Stop button, then tap on the Save button. Give your gesture a name (like DT for double-tap). Tap on the Save button after naming your gesture. If you somehow mess up with recording the gesture or don't like the name or simply want to clear it, you can delete it by swiping it to the left on the AssitiveTouch setup screen where Custom Gestures is displayed. From then on, the gesture will be available in the AssistiveTouch menu under Favorites. You drag the Favorite gesture to the button you want to double-tab and the recorded action will be performed on the desired button.

  • Why double click not working ?

    if the system have wizip/winrar installed...does it block to run executable jar whence they are doble-clicked ?
    because when i doble-click on the executable jar file....it opens up in the winrar...it displays all the directory structure in the jar file.....but it never executes.
    i have a jar in c:\
    and i can run this way....
    C:\>java -jar psae.jar Philip
    Hello World Philip
    why double click not working ?

    This is because winzip or winrar has taken over the
    Windows association with files of type .jar.
    Assuming XP.YES.....its windows XP.
    Click on the tools menu in any explorer window,
    select "folder options" and choose the "file type"
    tab. i tried that also earlier....anyway, here again one more time
    please look at
    http://img107.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nojar7ah.jpg
    There is NO .JAR file association i find in that list.
    you need to change the associaton of 'jar' to
    "Opens with Java"
