Two finger swipe when viewing PDFs

Two finger page swipe doesn't seem to work in Acrobat Reader, but only for left-right (up-down works)! Does anyone experience the same?

I'm having the same issue on two machines. Love the two finger swipe but the page refreshing is annoying.

  • Two finger scrolling when a PDF file is inside a frame

    It seems two finger scrolling does not work for PDFs inside a frame. An example of this is the Wiley Inter Science webpage. Any suggestions?

    This has come up a number of times in the forum. Some web sites employ either proprietary or Flash enabled GUI objects on their pages. These simply will not work in the ipad's Safari. There really is no workaround. I've contacted the web site's webmaster whenever I run across one of these. I would think that with the number of iPad users going into millions, web sites would want to change such behavior. They need to know.

  • No two-finger swipe for month, year, day in iCal

    I can't use a two-finger swipe to switch forward or back in iCal in day, month, or year view, only week. How can I get it to do this in the other views?

    Nemo,
    System Preferences...>Mouse>More Gestures will influence your "two-finger" swipe choices. If you have a Trackpad, choose that instead of Mouse in System Preferences.
    Swiping is only available in the Calendar Day/Week views. Monthly changes are made by scrolling, and Year view is changed by clicking on the < > arrows surrounding the word "Today" on the top left side of the Year window.

  • Having issues with two-finger swipe and hot corners. Help!

    I've lately been having an issue, where my two finger swipe will stop working. I also notice that 3 of my 4 hot corners no longer work, either. The only one that works is the top left. When I restart my computer, or change users, etc, it's fixed for a while, but then the problem will start up again in about an hour.
    I've tried the Software Update, and it seems everything is up to date. Any solutions?? I spent a good deal of money on this iMac, and I'm concerned there's something wrong with it.
    I have a 27" iMac, which I bought around November 2011. Software is OSX 10.7.5
    Thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
    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 login 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 the test.

  • No two finger swipe for navigating files in Lion?

    I use the track pad and just updated to Lion - which has some great features. But I while I can two finger swipe on Safari pages to go back and forth, I don't seem to be able to do that now when going through my files in Finder....
    Am I missing something or is this the way it is now?....
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Two-finger swipe in Safari makes site unresponsive

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with two-finger swipe.
    If I swipe back or forward while browsing, all navigation on the site stops working. With mousover links show up, but nothing happens when clicked. Scrolling up and down altso stops.
    Using the back and forward navigation do not have this affect.
    I'm running Safari 5.1.1 on OS X 10.7.2 on a MacBook Air.
    Does anyone know a fix for this trouble?
    Regards,
    SDS

    There are reports that this problem can be solved by simply restarting, or by resetting the PRAM.

  • Magic Mouse Two Finger Swipe

    I've had a magic mouse for quite awhile but there's one thing that has never worked correctly: two finger swipe.
    When trying to use the gesture to navigate through web history or pictures, it will only work going backward (left swipe). When I swipe to the right, the active window is hidden. I'm very baffled and hoping there is a fix as I would really like to use this feature. Thanks!

    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.

  • Two finger swipe has gone wrong.

    I was messing with the two finger swipe in safari where you swipe back and forth for the forward page and backward page with the cool animation. Everything was fine until i found out that this can not be done in Google Chrome or Firefox. So I decided to switch to the three finger swipe and sure enough, the back and forth in those browsers worked like a charm. I was showing off to a buddy and went back to the two finger swipe to show him the animation and how cool and easy it was and the weirdest thing happened. The page would swipe about a quarter of the way and than bounce back. I tried more gesture settings and nothing. I quit safari and rebooted and nothing. I have set every defualt setting and nothing. Is there anyone that would know whats going on? Thanks

    More info - I noticed that when I use quite a bit of velocity to swipe, meaning that I start literally on one end of the keyboard and swipe across the trackpad and well onto the other side of the keyboard, then the pages will in fact move as they're supposed to (forward or backward).  Thing is this is in no way supposed to be normal behavior.  It's like there's a speed caliper on the feature that's set way too insensitive.  Now I'm wondering if this is actually a setting in preferences that somehow got out of whack.  The only setting I can find though has to do with the speed of the arrow pointer, not with the sensitivity of the two-finger swipe to activate. 

  • Safari & Firefox behaving badly when viewing pdf files

    Since upgrading my Mac to Lion, Safari and Firefox have not displayed pdf files for viewing.
    SAFARI:  When I click a pdf link in Safari, a dark grey blank page appears. When I try to save the pdf file to my desktop, an error message says the file is not properly formatted.
    FIREFOX: When I click a pdf link in Firefox, a white blank page appears. I can successfully save the file to my desktop, and in turn open the file using Acrobat.
    CHROME: Everything works normally...no problems found when viewing pdf files.
    I tried dumping the plist file for both Safari and Firefox, and resetting both browsers clearing them of cache, etc., but none of that worked.
    Has anyone else seen similar behavior? Anyone have a solution?
    I have posted this problem twice in Apple's Safari Forum, but have had no response in almost two months.
    Thanks

    In Safari you to have the Acrobat PDFviewer plugin installed, or the The PDFBrowser plugin by Schubert of Germany Installed.
    If you use the PDFBrowser Plugin you need the 2.4.2 version in order to work with the version 5.1 of Safari and 2.2.3 version for Safari 5.05 and lower.
    In FireFox  version 3.6.X and lower you need version of the PDFBrowser Plugin version 2.2.3 which also works with Safari 5.05 and lower. And version 2.4.2 for Safari 5.1 and above and FF 4.0 and above, and Seamonkey version 2.3 and above.
    THE ADOBE PDFVIEWER PLUGIN has only worked with OSX for Safari. Adobe quit supporting any other browsers on the Macintosh with the roll out of OSX years ago except for Safari. And despite repeated request by many users, its gone on deaf ears.
    As a result This Schubert fellow from Germany has had to fill the void. It works on "any" browser on the Market for Mac. And works for any browser for Windows except Internet Explorer.
    The only thing it doesn't do is online forms which the Acrobat Plugin will. But since it only works with Safari its Useless. I'm not going to Crank up Safari just to fill in Forms.
    Oh, you use to be able to install both plugins and would work fine. Now if both are installed neither works. Its either use the one that works on one Web Browser and allows form filling.
    Or use the one that works on everything, but can't do forms. Oh Schubert on his Web site explains his is forbidden from installing support for forms.

  • Two finger swipe was working for Firefox 7 in my macbook pro running lion yesterday but not today. i have installed Alfred. Has that broken it?

    I was able to use the two finger swipe gesture on my macbook pro trackpad in firefox 7. It was working fine but has just stopped working. It does work if I hold the alt key while swiping but that seems a bit pointless. The only thing I have changed on my mac is that I installed Alfred. Has that broken the gesture?

    Sorry to tell you this but it's starting to sound like a hardware issue.
    Reason being is because youi've had this issue when you had 2GB of RAM, and running Leopard to Snow Leopard then to Lion.
    Even after you've reinstalled everything it was still giving you issues.
    Ok, try this one.  Open the back of your MB, take one RAM out of the top slot, then turn your MB on and see if it still freezes.  If it does, then take the lower RAM off the botton slot and install it on the top slot.  Turn it back on.  If the problem stops, then it could be your RAM slots.

  • Two finger swipe keeps refreshing page

    When I do a two finger swipe in Safari 5.1 (Lion), it goes back to the previous page but always refreshes that page.  Nothing on the previous page ever changes.  Is there a way to make Safari stop refreshing it?

    I'm having the same issue on two machines. Love the two finger swipe but the page refreshing is annoying.

  • Unable to dismiss notifications using two finger swipe.

    I recently upgraded the hard drive in my MBP (Early 2011) and reinstalled ML (10.8.4) and now have the same issue. When I put in my old hard drive and boot to the same version of ML there, it works just fine, but not on the fresh install. Everything else seems to work just fine, just can't two finger swipe to dismiss notification banners.

    For anyone that may stumble upon this thread. Going to System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures and ensuring that "Swipe Between Pages" is enabled will resume normal NC dismiss behavior.

  • Two finger swipe in launchpad buggy

    My issue is within the luanchpad window. I can access launchpad just fine when I use the five finger pinch gesture. The problem arrises when I am in the launchpad window and all of my apps are showing. I perform the two finger swipe gesture to switch to the next page of apps and periodically the swipe will "hang", for lack of a better term, between the two pages. I have to swipe one more timeto get the next page to show properly. I am new to Apple products and not sure if this is a Mavericks issue or a trackpad issue. I am running a trackpad with a mac mini (late 2012 model).

    It is a bug. Just try to use 3 finger swipe in launchpad, not two, untill apple will do somthing with it)

  • 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.
