pinch to zoom not working

Just wondering if anyone is having this problem. This was working for me yesterday but the Pinch to Zoom is not working anymore. Ive double checked the system preferences, and it the appropriate boxes are checked. Just one of many things not working since Lion installed.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

You may take a stab at doing an SMC Reset or destroying the PRAMs of your Mac before reinstalling. Those comprehend a shockingly substantial lump of the Mac issues I see Turn off squeeze to zoom in inclinations, at that point turn on once more. This has worked for me sometime recently. In the event that that doesn't work at that point doing a reboot will, as a rule, settle any trackpad issues. Issues after a reboot? Look at the above marginally more extraordinary courses around the issue. Write my Essay Now

Just seems like a lot of Lion glitches. The pinch to zoom is now working. Same thing is happening with other features and also lots of problems with Itunes (and presumably the 10.4 update)...Hopefully Apple will get t hese fixed. I just started barely figuring out snow leopard as Im a new user, and now Lion is just making me go back to square one...and probably take a w hile for Apple employees to get familiar with it.

Just make sure that you have your system preferences set up correctly by going to Apple Menu/System Preferences/Trackpad. If it's all set up correctly, then it does seem to be a Lion glitch. All I can tell you is the rep I spoke to said he spoke to his colleagues and others were reporting the same problem. Hopefully theyll figure out why.

I'm not sure what's going on. Mine was working for 2 days and now is not working again. Sometimes rebooting the entire system helps...When I just quit Safari, it didn't help. There seems to be a glitch, but no one at Apple seems to care...they just shrug their shoulders so can only help that when we bring it someone's attention, they pass it up along the chain so the powers that be can correct it.

It seems what is working for most people is


a) try closing Safari and then re-opening it (With the new save feature, if you just close Safari, and then re-open it, all your windows will stay the same)


and if that doesnt work


b) try to restart the computer



It does seem to be a Lion glitch...Maybe if you have Safari open too long, it stops working..who knows? But from the comments Ive gotten and what Ive tried, it seems the above two options usually get the pinch to zoom to work again
