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.

Have you tried a reboot? With the power turned ON, remove the battery, wait a couple of seconds, then replace battery and allow to boot up

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?

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

I just upgraded to the New OS on my Mac Book Pro and now my trackpad does not zoom in or out. I looked at system settings on trackpad and it is set, but does not work How do I get it started?

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot

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.

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

TS2662 why is my magic mouse suddenly doing things i don't want it to do? zooming in and out without even touching it? stopped scrolling & swiping and when clicking brings up a sub menu?

hi hope somebody can help me before i launch this thing at the wall!!! i have had no problems with my imac before but all of a sudden my mouse has taken on a life of its own.
its zooming in and out side to side all over the place when i'm not even touching it. yet when i want it to zoom in and out now it dosnt even acknowledge my tapping and swiping. (its actually zooming in and out as i'm writing this!!!!!
when i click on anything instead of doing what i want it do do it brings up a sub menu?
i have a feeling when my baby smacked the keyboard, it may have something to do with it but i have since gone into the mouse settings and made sure all the boxes are ticked etc.. has he broken my mac? :/

Sluggish zooming in and out

I cut together 30 minute long radio shows. I am using Audition CS6. Some stuff is recorded in house using audition. We record 32 bit 48k WAV files. We have people send us files and they use audacity and record 16-bit 48k WAV files. Typically I have 5-6 tracks. 4 of them have dialogue with effects, and the others are for music/intros/outros/etc and no additional effects applied to them. Also have a hard limiter on the master track. It does not matter whether the effects rack on the tracks are turned on or off. Some files just give me really terrible lag. I have to jump around a lot during editing and zoom in close to tighten something up, or jump somewhere else to move an entire section and when I get the zoom lag it really slows me down. I use cmd + mousewheel to zoom. Sometimes it takes 5-6 seconds before it is finally caught up.
I can't figure out why, but sometimes I get really really sluggish zooming in and out. I can't replicate this. It is not on everyone's 16 bit recordings. Only certain people. They are also not computer people so I wouldn't be able to ask them what they are doing anyway. I have attached a screenshot of my file panel. Doubt it is going to help, but any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Quick update:
I got some small improvement by setting Audition's Processor Priority to High. There's still some lag, but at least the environment is workable.
To set the affinity:
Press Ctrl-Shift-Esc
Select the Processes tab
Right-click on Adobe Audition CS6
Select Set Priority > High
You'll need to do this each time you open Audition. There are methods of permanently setting the processor priority. However, I am only looking to use this as a work around until the problem is fixed.

Wallpaper zooming in and out when going to home screen

Whenever I go to my home screen, my wallpapers zooms in and out by itself and it's rather annoying. I want to know if there's a way to stop it form doing it. Is it like an effect or something? How can I turn that off?
Thanks
