When I pinch-to-zoom in Safari, sometimes buttons become improperly displayed

Hey out there,
I have noticed an issue with Safari's Pinch-To-Zoom feature. When I zoom in on a website containing specific types of buttons, the buttons appear to become full of question marks or something, instead of the button. As far as I can tell, the types of buttons that do this are ones like "Login" buttons, and others.
Since I don't know how exaclty to word the description of the buttons, here are examples of them:
http://www.wikipedia.org/ (the home page)
When I go here, and zoom in, the buttons by the search input are distorted.
This is not specific to wikipedia, because it happens with other buttons like with the kind of glossy look in safari, that become looking like:
when I zoom in.
Has anyone else experienced this?
If so, is there any way to fix it?

Back up all data.
Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery desktop appears, reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari File Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens but the page is blank. Also, when I try to use the safari Help button,the dialogue box is blank.

    I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader update when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari>File>Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens, but the page remains blank. Also when I try to use the Safari Help button, the dialogue box opens but remains infuriatingly blank. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Is there a way to change the pinch-to-zoom feature?

    Is there a way to change the behavior of pinch-to-zoom in Safari 5.1.4 on Lion?  It seems to have adopted the iOS zoom (where it's a zoom into an area on the page) and I would prefer that it emulated a Command-+ type of page zoom.  When using pinch-to-zoom in a site like Gmail or Google Reader, the content ends up requiring horizontal scrolling if you pinch-to-zoom... while Command-+ increases the size of everything but keeps it within a single screen.
    Can this be done?  Is there the equivalent of the about:config page from Firefox?
    Apple... can you fix this (or offer an option to determine how pinch-to-zoom works in Safari)?!?!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response.
    I have searched for a solution to change the order of my tags and haven't found it.
    I add multiple tags to my emails and the color at a glance means something to me - if I add an earlier, more up the priority ladder it shows that color instead of the one that I want. I'm rambling but the fact remains that I would like to be able to change the tag priority.
    Have a great one!

  • Pinch to zoom not working on safari

    I have a 2012 macbook pro running mountain lion. when im on safari, my pinch to zoom gesture doesnt work. i can double tap and it will zoom in and out, but i really need the pinch to zoom gesture back. ive tried pinch to zoom on other apps like iphoto, and preview, but it doesnt work on safari. everything else does though.. and i never messed around with the settings. When i looked into the settings, pinch to zoom was on..
    can anyone help?

    I get this too, but quiting and re-opening Safari fixes the issue until it stops again.

  • Why does Safari sometimes zoom in?

    Why does Safari sometimes zoom in? What am I doing with the mouse? How do I get out of it when it happens? Is there a setting I can change to stop this from happening altogether?

    Experiment with control - scroll. That is set to zoom for most users.
    What to do probably depeds on the version of Mac OSX you are running. In 10.6, if you have a third-party mouse, you can kill that function in System Preferences > Mouse by unchecking the bottom-most check box:
    If you have a Magic Mouse, the control panel is different but has the same funcrtion:
    Uncheck the "Screen Zoom" box under "One Finger" or adjust its options using the button provided.
    Again, these screenies are fro  OS 10.6.8; I don't have a Mac with Lion or Mountain Lion, but I doubt it's too different.

  • Pinch to zoom not available in safari 6 on OSX lion

    Hello,
    Just updated safari to safari 6 using Software Update. I have a late 2011 MBpro with OSX lion 10.7.4.
    Pinch to zoom is not working in safari 6, though was working fine before the update (safari 5.x). Note that pinch to zoom still works fine with other applications  (preview, chrome, etc).
    Any advice?
    It also seems that many features are missing with lion's safari 6, versus moutain lion's safari 6 (show all tabs button, share button, etc).
    Thanks.

    yes, what in the world is going on with this latest OS, even claimed to be world's most advanced!?
    I was shocked enough when I realized no 4finger swipe to switch apps, and 3finger swipe to go back and forth between pages not working when you have 3finger drag enabled
    now what's utterly frustrating is NO MORE PINCH TO ZOOM IN FINDER
    this is like one of the most important functions in the OS, and it's gone!?
    this must come back
    please fix these in the next update

  • Magic Track Pad with Lion 10.7 and Safari zoom aA vs Pinch to zoom

    Hi,
    I enjoy a Mac Mini (early 2009) hooked to a 50 inch plasma and surf from my couch, stream etc... We browse with Safari 5.X and enjoyed the new Magic Track Pad with Snow Leopard. You could zoom / scale Safari with Snow Leopard beautifully, with a pinch out on the trackpad, same function as aA option on the browser task bar.
    Now with Lion, the pinch to zoom feature zooms but doesn't scale the safari window the same way aA option used to.  In lion a pinch out to zoom in will push a significant part of the browser screen off / out of view.
    The aA option on the safari task bar scales the window, and keeps everything visible but larger, but now in Lion it is not available from the Magic Track Pad Gestures. The Button is still there on the browser but there is no option to access it from the track pad with a gesture.
    How can I revert to the old way of zooming / Scaling a Safari web page with my Magic track pad in Lion?
    Thanks,
    H

    You can see in that screenshot that a lot of browser.gesture.pinch prefs have an empty string as their value and thus won't have any effect.
    You can restore some zoom feature by modifying the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page via the right-click context menu.
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    You may want to toggle this pref (I don't know what effect this has):
    * browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>

  • Pinch to zoom not working properly in Safari 5.1

    I have OS X 10.6.8 (downloading lion as i type). I updated safari this morning and ever since I did that, pinch to zoom isnt working right. I can pinch to zoom in, to a certain extent but I can not get as large as I want as I used to and I cannot zoom back out at all. It seems to be working properly in my other apps so I guess it's something in safari. I'm not very Mac savvy since everything usually works and I dont have to be, so maybe I'm missing something? Help! I use this feature CONSTANTLY and desperately want it back. Thanks in advance!

    Same here.
    MBP Late 2007 with Magic Trackpad
    OSX 10.6.8
    Safari 5.1  (6534.50)
    I could zoom in once and then it wouldn't work anymore by using the pinching on the Magic Trackpad.
    Pressing Command and +/- still worked.
    I deleted Safari 5.1 and reinstalled the Combo Update to get 5.0.5 back and it worked properly again.
    Then I installed 5.1 another time and had the same error again.
    I guess I got to roll back to 5.0.5

  • Just bought new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I have my hand on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. What gives?

    Just bought brand new new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I usually have my hand resting lightly on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. But then it does it again a minute or two later. What gives? Something seems defective--but what?

    From System Preferences, Mouse, Point & Click, Secondary click.  Go to it hover over Secondary click and watch the short video sequence change it left right, left right, you will see exactly what is does. No I do not think your Mouse is defective, you simply need to take control of your Mouse finger.

    Have you tried a Reset (No Data will be Lost)
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Enabling Safari Pinch and Zoom in Magic Mouse

    I really like the safari pinch and zoom feature with magic trackpad.  It is very useful especially with my 27" iMac.  However, I find this featured disabled with my magic mouse.  Is there any way to enable the pinch and zoom feature in magic mouse?

    Try this from what I have read it is more advanced and polished than BetterTouchTool. Works well for me.

  • When is "PDF pinch and zoom" available on Android?

    I want to use "PDF pinch and zoom" on Android Deveice.
    When is "PDF pinch and zoom" available on Android?
    If it is available with next update, I'm very happy.

    Did you choose the PDF image format when you created the folio? Are you using the Adobe Content Viewer or a custom app to preview the content on your iPhone?
    Whoever told you to use v24 meant to say v24 or later. This applies only to older folio. If you're working with an older folio, go into folio properties and check the viewer version. If it's v20, change it to v26 or later, and then update the articles in the folio.

  • Sometimes pinch to zoom not working

  • IPad Safari - Can't pinch to zoom on only one website

    I've always logged into Facebook on my iPad in Safari, but as of last night, I cannot use the pinch to zoom function on www.Facebook.com. I can go to any other website, even the mobile version of facebook at m.facebook.com and the pinch works. I have done a hard shutdown by holding down the sleep and home keys until the unit shuts down, I have cleared all history, cookies, and cache, but with everything I do, I still can't get it to work.

    I know exactly what is causing it.
    In Safari on the Mac, enable the developer menu. change your user agent to iPad,
    Open Facebook.com. View source. Search for user-scalable=0
    that is the exact code which is causing this problem. It is instructing iPad safari to not allow zooming.
    Now go back and change the user agent back to desktop safari. Reload Facebook and view the source code. The user-scalable=0 line is gone.
    The only workaround is to use Atomic Browser on the iPad and change the user agent to something else like desktop Safari.
    If anyone has a contact at Facebook please let them know about this immediately as is is ruining the facebook experience for iPad users.
