Use Trackpad to zoom in and out - Too sensitive in Safari 4

Hi, I just installed Safari 4 three days ago. Without changing any settings, now I found out that when I use trackpad to zoom in/out the font, it responses too sensitive than it did in previous Safari. It jumps up/down at least two levels every time I try to adjust the font size. It is not that controllable anymore.
Has anyone else noticed this? How do I fix this? Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I have the same problem on my MacBook Pro. The zoom feature is way too sensitive for my liking, however, there is no way at the moment to control it. As this is a Beta version, these oddities will occur. Hopefully, when Safari 4 is released in final version (no date yet announced) this problem will be fixed.
As I previously did, let Apple know what you are experiencing with the trackpad via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. If you want to go back to Safari 3, use the Uninstaller that's included in the Safari 4 Downloads package. This is the only safe way to go back to Safari 3.

In version 4.0 I can't use the pinch feature on my trackpad to zoom in and out. Is there a setting in Firefox for this?

I installed v4.0 of Firefox and can no longer use the pinch feature on the trackpad of my MacBook. It seems to work OK in Safart and I'm wondering if there is a setting in Firefox to enable me to use that feature. The way the feature works is that you pinch your thumb & forefinger together or spread them apart to zoom in and out.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift cmd_fullZoomReset

HT1338 how to use tap to zoom in and out?

I have tried to tap using Mt Lion to zoom and out on a web page and it would do it. Can anyone pls advise?

In an application like Safari, it's a Double-tap with one finger on the Magic Mouse or a double-tap with two fingers on the Trackpad. Check System Preferences > Mouse/Trackpad to make sure the option is checked.

Why is my trackpad no longer zooming in and out?

As of approx two weeks ago, my trackpad stopped zooming in and out on web pages and documents. The option is still selected in my system preferences but I can't figure this out otherwise.
Help?

Greetings,
Do multi-touch gestures work other places like on the desktop? If you make an expand motion with your fingers on the desktop the icons should get larger (folders, images, documents, whatever you have floating about the screen).
If it doesn't something may be wrong with multi-touch. Reset it by removing the following file to the trash and restarting the computer: Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad
If the issue persists try reseting the PRAM: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
Hope that helps.

Pinch in and out on trackpad not working to zoom in and out in firefox

Ever since i bought my macbook pro (early 2011) I was able to use the pinch in and out trackpad feature to zoom in and out in firefox. This suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago. It still works in safari so this seems to be Firefox specific. All other trackpad features are still working too.
I uninstalled Firefox on my mac by moving the Firefox icon to the trash and downloaded/installed it again. Note that i didn't delete my profile (just deleted the Firefox icon) so all bookmarks were preserved even after downloading and installing Firefox from scratch. This didn't help fixing the issue.
Any ideas on this problem ? how to fix it?
Thanks!

All these programs seem to be for windows. I am facing the issues with firefox on a macbook pro.
I wasn't suggesting resetting Firefox. I have already done this step a couple of days ago as I was facing connectivity issues with some websites completely freezing and not loading. reset didn't help. I started seeing the trackpad issue around the time i did the reset.
I am wondering if uninstalling Firefox and deleting all data associated with it (profiles etc) would fix the issue. Can you advise on what should be deleted with firefox?

I know I've heard that iPads/iPhones can't get viruses but is it possible that they can? While using my iPad, it keeps going in and out of apps. On Facebook, status and profiles keep getting clicked and it keeps zooming in and out. Can anyone help

I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?

At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.
Here are the links, and the last one pertains to the reset to factory default condition ...

Firefox 4 doesn't allow MacBook Pro Trackpad features to work, for eg. zooming in and out by "pinching"

I downloaded Firefox 4 and immediately noticed I could not zoom in and out by using the two finger "pinch" action used on MacBook Pro trackpads.
I reverted to Firefox 3.6 and it works just fine.
Could you please advise me how to rectify the fault on Firefox 4
Thank you

I can't zoom in and out using the scroll wheel

so i want to zoom in and out on photoshop how i always have...using ctrl and scroll wheel...
but when i went to do it how i naturally do it, it didnt work..after some research i found you go into preferences, general and tick the box about zoom scroll or somthing.
Yet when i go onto it i dont have any options about zooming !!?? from what ive seen i have less options than others.
and im pretty sure it isnt only available on newer version..because i have done it before on really old photoshop versions.
so any help would be appriciated, thanks

Photoshop 7 doesn't have a preference for using Zoom With Scroll Wheel like cs2 and later do, but holding down the Alt key and using the scroll wheel should work
to zoom in or out.
Does the Alt key work if you make a selection and then use Alt+Ctrl+D to bring up the Feather dialog?
Does the scroll wheel work to change the layer blend modes by duplicating the layer and highlighting
the layer blend mode of Normal in the layers palette and then using the scroll wheel to change blend modes?

Erratic zooming in and out using drag and drop to copy.

While using the drag and drop to copy method in AI 18.0(and17) there is erratic zooming in and out behavior.
I've called Adobe and Apple about this issue and it still remains. I've also tried the Hot Fix download but the problem still remains.
I'm using an iMac with OS 10.9.4 and the Magic Mouse.
Please help! Thanks in advance.

When I click and hold on a selection then drag it holding down the option key to copy it, when I release the mouse where I want it to be copied it zooms in or out(radically) once or several times and usually copies the selected item to a different place then I wanted it to.
Now I’ve noticed that if I don’t touch the side of the mouse(keeping only one finger on the top of the mouse) I don’t have the issue.
Thank You, Dennis Burns, DB Signs

Why wont Illustrator CC let me use Alt + Scroll on my mouse to zoom in and out smoothly?

When i use Illustrator CS6 i am able to zoom in and out smothly by pressing my option key on my Mac and then scroll with my mouse. It wont let me do that in Illustrator CC, why not? Also i should not that this zoom does not use the zoom tool on the left hand tool bar.
Thank you for any help.

Did Option+mouse scroll ever zoom smoothly? (Wish it did.)
For me it zooms in hops: 50, 66.67, 100, 150, 200 etc. same as when you click with the zoom tool.
You can of course enter exact zoom %s at the bottom left of the Illie window but that’s not smooth either.

When using firefox, how do i zoom in and out on a page?

example: when i use internet explorer i just click on the tool tab if i need to zoom in or out. however, with firefox, i cannot figure how do zoom in and out on a page?
thank you,
kim

I don't think Firefox has a slider to do that but it uses shortcuts.
'''CTRL + + (plus sign)''' is to zoom in 
'''CTRL + - (minus sign/dash)''' is to zoom out 
'''CTRL + 0 (zero)''' resets the percentage to default (100%)

In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back. I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.

In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back. I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps. A page zooms in so less than 1/4 of the page is visible and nothing I do will zoom back out, command minus doesn't do it, double tap on mouse does not zoom out, and the window will not scroll to show any of the rest of the page. reloading the page does not help. Loading a different page gives me a normal view again.

If it were a tweaked setting, it should happen less randomly. And there should be no settings that could override the zoom setting in unversal Access and the Mouse zoom preferences.
In addition, this only happens in Safari 6, and seems to happen more fredquently on some websites and not on others. That suggests some sort of conflict in the site code with Safari and Apple wireless mouse code. It does not happen in Mail, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, or other software as far as I can tell.
