Was screen zoom removed from OS X Lion?

Does the double tap on the magic ouse only work for PDF files? if you fullscreen on a website all the type just chills in the middle of the screen. i go to double tap and its just not respnding but does on PDF files. plus the Ctrl thing doesnt even work for me. whats going on apple?

My problem was also that it was disabled. MacBook Pro - brand new, non upgraded.

This thread helped. Thanks everyone!

Full screen control 2 finger scrolling Zoom in on Mac Lion 10.7.3

I had this problem too, and I just figured it out. If you go to

- system preferences,

- Universal Access

- Seeing

Turn Zoom from OFF to ON, and then go to "Options..." under zoom, and enable (check) "Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom". it will have the symbol "^" meaning "control".

Now if you hold down "control" and scroll with 2 fingers, you should have full screen zoom. 🙂

My Zoom stopped working after update as well. Cant get it working!.

This worked for me:
1. Go to System Preferences>Universal Access

2. Turn Zoom on

3. On the same window, click "Options"

4. Check the box: "Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom"

5. Set the "modifier key" to Control (by clicking on the text box and pressing Control)

6. Click Done

Should work.
If it doesn't, change the "modifier key" (i.e. the little text box) to "Command" and then back to "Control" and press "Done"

Earlier I use to have the zoom function but once I formated my HDD the zoom was gone. Messing around with System Preferences I found this,

System Preferences>Universal Access>Seeing>Zoom>Options

At the bottom of this panel you will see an option unchecked, Just check it and you are ready to go!! 🙂

Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and noticed the control+2 finger zoom was gone.

No problemo,

- System preferences, accessibility, zoom, "use Scroll gesture with modifier key to zoom", check the box and be sure ^Control" is selected.

Leave that area and it appears actuated and you can now control+2 Finger zoom again.

I really got used to that and didn't see that solution here.

yay!

This is it! I totally forgot this feature even existed until I tried it last night, and it didn't work. Thank you, Ferguzz -- your solution worked beautifully.
