What i need to do to activate the multi touch gestures o my 2008 macbook?

i installed Lion and i just noticed that my track is the same that before, it only works when scrolling and more, but new gestures arent working, how can i activate them or my 2008 macbook trackpad is not compatible to do that?

The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody was the first MacBook with a glass trackpad. Is that what you have?

        Let's ensure we get this new device up and running, 123Vika. I know the importance of having a functional device. I have some great news you can activate the device directly from My Verizon. Take a look; http://vz.to/1gdvahs

  • What happened to the multi-touch gestures in Finder?

    I've updated to Lion last week.  Overall, I think what Apple did was great to the overall experience.  However, my only gripes are in Finder.  What happened to the multi-touch gestures?  The only thing that I can do is flip through files in cover view using two finger swipes.
    What happened to the pinch to zoom in and out?  I've seen other posts about this so I'll stop here.  Apple please bring this function back.  I'm tired of moving my mouse to the drag handle. 
    Secondly, I was using three finger swipes to navigate to the previous and next folder in Finder.   Since two finger is used to flip through cover view, I see why they couldn't extend the back/forward function to two finger swipes as they did in Safari and I know that three finger swipe is used to change desktops.  I wish that Apple was more creative to leave this function in somehow.
    Is there a way to bring these functions back to Finder?  These are the functions that I used all the time.

    That doesn't explain why they would remove the pinch to zoom in and out.  That is not be used by anything else in finder.  If I'm going through pictures, I would like to zoom in on the images for cover view.
    As far as the three figure swipes to go back and forth in finder, I understand why that has been removed.  However, Apple could have implemented the two finger swipe just like in Safari which is sensitive to the acceleration of the swipes.  If you swipe with two fingers somewhat fast, you can go back and forth between previous and next page.  If you swipe with two fingers slowly, you can pan left and right on the same page.
    They could have done something to retain the functionality versus taking out the functionality all together.  As of now, these functionalities do not exist.  I'm hoping that something is going to change and we'll have to see what the future brings.

  • I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

    I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

    What model computer do you have? some early trackpads will not support all gestures.
    Front Row was dropped by Apple in Lion. I beleive it can be recovered from Snow Leopard, I haven't tried it myself.

    A better solution is to try a number of better, free alternatives. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    I use Apple's Pages ($19.99) as well as OpenOffice and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Anyone knows how to enable the multi-touch gesture on ipad2 or any update how

    Help pls.

    It costs US$5, but I did it yesterday and it requires a Mac.
    On a Mac open the Mac App Store and buy Xcode. After the Xcode installer has completely downloaded run it and install Xcode on your Mac. Open Xcode and attach your iPad. Xcode gives you the option to use the iPad for iOS development. Enable that and the Multitasking Gestures will be available to turn on in Settings/General on your iPad.
    There are 3 gestures.
    Use four ot five fingers to;
    • Pinch for Home screen
    • Swipe up & down for revealing & hiding the multitasking bar
    • Swipe left or right to go between open apps
    If you have a PC there is a way to activate it for free. It involves adding a line to a preference file in the iPad's OS. This activates the gestures only, but does not install the on/off button in Settings/General as the Mac method does. Do a Google search to find the steps to do this.

  • What role needs to be assigned to the user to access existing custom OData services?

    Hi all,
    What role needs to be assigned to the user to access existing custom OData services?
    With SAP ALL its working. But cannot assign that to all users. Whats the specific role for this?
    I tried with /IWFND/RT_GW_USER. But it says the role does not exist.
    Thank you,
    Achu

    Hi,
    As usual you need to build a role by yourself based on your requirements. In case of Odata services there are two different TADIR services that needs to be added. One corresponds to authorization to execute logic on backend server and the other one to access service on front end server. You can get specific services by tracing one call using ST01. For Fiori apps from SAP you get role templates. You can use them for inspiration.
    Cheers

    Hi Kim ...
    Might not just be the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
    Apple "verifies" your billing credentials with every transaction.
    what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card
    If the total purchase price of the media including any applicable taxes or fees exceeds the balance of the redeemed card, then the difference is charged to your debit or credit card account.
    iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS  <  re taxes and fees
    You don't have to have a credit or debit account setup >  Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card

  • Lots of existing threads, but no consistent answer - what settings need to be applied to the 2012 (new) Airport Express for it to work at hotels with an ethernet only connection?  Any answers specific to Japan would be helpful.

    Lots of existing threads, but no consistent answer - what settings need to be applied to the 2012 (new) Airport Express for it to work at hotels with an ethernet only connection?  Any answers specific to Japan would be helpful.  I would prefer not to take my old Dell laptop and just be able to use my Ipad 2 via the wireless connection that the Airport Express creates.  However, I can configure the Airport Express at home prior to leaving if that is the best thing to do.

    I have a very similar problem with my AE! My MacBook, MacBook Pro & iPod Touch (1st Generation) all get a GREAT signal from our AE. BUT, our iPod Touch (2nd Generation) and new iPad (WiFi) get terrible signal strength unless we're right next to the AE!! Tech support at Apple is of no help! I'm ready to sell them all! This all started when we got the last OS update for iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. So it must be a software issue not a hardware one..
    Any ideas?

  • The keyboard and trackpad to my 2008 MacBook suddenly stopped working, what's wrong with it/ what should I do to fix it?

    The keyboard and trackpad to my 2008 MacBook suddenly stopped working. I've restarted the computer several times and no help. I had some keyboard maintenance done a few months ago at a repair shop so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. What should I do?

    First thing I would try would be to remove the battery from your MacBook, connect the computer to it's power adapter and start up, then see if the keyboard and trackpad work normally. Some older batteries have been known to expand and interfere with keyboard and trackpad. If this works, replace the battery.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I activate the Multi-Screen Sharing in Lion?

    Hi,
    How do I activate the Multi-Screen Sharing in Lion? I was told it was on by default but when my partner logs in from his machine, I can't also login to the actual Mac itself. When I first enabled Sharing it allowed him to connect even though I was already logged in but it was very sluggish and eventually the whole system crashed.
    Any help would be appreciated.    

    Found it!
    Make sure you have multiple desktops already running.
    Go to System Preferences->Keyboard
    Choose Keyboard Shortcuts
    On the left select Mission Control.  On the right, I have "Switch to Desktop 1, Switch to Desktop 2, etc"
    On my iMac they were checked, and working.
    On my MacBook they were unchecked.  Checked the boxes, now it works.
