cannot zoom after install of Lion on MackBook Pro -

Yes, it does the trick, but the point of OS X is to use gestures, or at least menus with quick access.

Come on Apple, at least make it an option !

Are you guys talking about this (see picture)

see the scaler above.

Well, your picture shows the manual way to do it, not the gesture way. Plus, to see that little "zoom bar", it means that you also have to have a frame at the bottom of your windows, which is a non-sense as the whole point of Lion is to make the user interface lighter.

So yes, it does the trick, but the the pinch to zoom feature of Snow Leopard was way more convenient and intuitive.

It doesn't do the trick for me. It does work in my case only in the list of found files in search. Otherwise it does nothing.

You're right, I just checked, and it does the trick only in the native "Image" folder of the Finder, but not in every folders.

Unbelievable, so it means that there is an option, but it can only be used in certain folders where Apple decided that we may need it ???

What operating system is that ? I'm very close to install Windows 7 on my Mac for that simple reason. Who are we kidding here ? Snow Leopard had the feature, why would they remove it ????

Guys,

I do not remember the "pinching zoom" in SL, s my apologies.

There is also another way to zoom the screen and I don't know if this is what you are talking about (I have a MacBook that does not have the fancy trackpad capabilities, my desktop has the fancy trackpad)

One can always zoom using control+ trackpad.

That is press control key then move your 2 fingers over the trackpad. Towards the screen it zooms in, towards you it zooms out.

Hope this help.

I;m very upset abt this too, certainly did not expect this from apple, how they fix this asap !!!!!! Pinch to zoom is an improtant feature we'd all like back in the finder and the desktop !!!

agreed, this is a really ugly omision from the previous osx build. just ugly. I am finding more and more things about lion I am unfortunately not liking... heavily considering reverting to snow lepoard .... lion just feels plain awkward and slow at this point.

Me too, I also found out today that my brand new Wester Digital Media Player will not work with Lion because Apple

removed SMB, which will make Lion incompatible with tons of network devices.

If they don't fix it, I'm back to Snow Leopard, or Windows.

I did not spend 2000 dollars in a laptop to have the limited features of an IPad.

VERY disappointed and upset.

There is a replacement of Samba called now SMBX. It seems to work fine in my case with Synology NAS. As long as I know, SMBX supports both SMB1 and SMB2, so it should work in your case too. Have you tried connect to the device using its IP address and "command-k" panel in Finder? The address would be then something like: "smb://192.168.0.5/share_name"

I'll give a try, but many people have the problem.

Think of it, Lion did not add 250 features, it removed 250 features. Honestly, this is my first Mac, and I really liked Snow Leopard. But if they don't update Lion quickly, this will be my first and last Mac. I use it for work, not only to watch videos and check my mail,

I need a real OS, not iOS.

Oh, even better, Mac Mail, in full screen, does not respond sometimes, have to quit the app and restart it. So even Mission Control is not working properly.

I wonder if they tested the OS before launching it, Windows 7 is more optimized than that.

I totally agree with you.

If I dont find a way to solve this in LION.

I think I'll simply switch back to Snow Leopard.

Lucky if have bck up in my time machine before I install LION.

Now I start to agree that LION is the WORST upgrade in Mac history 😟

I've decided to REVERT back to Snow Leopard, before APPLE fix this !!! 😟

I'll keep my eyes on his POST... hopefully will be having good news soon.

Same here, I wait a few more days, and if it's not fixed, I re-install Snow Leopard.

The more I use Lion, the more I find problems... simply unbelievable.

Yey thanks for deleting my post, seems you dont like people expressing their opinion about the not so fantastic Lion.

Ive deleted mine now not worth the hassle.

let us know when you have it sorted.

Duel booted now with Snow Leopard and Windows 7.
