Swipes in Safari stop working

I tried resetting the PRAM, and so far, I've seen an improvement not only with the browsing issue, but overall computer performance.

Thanks a lot, resetting the PRAM worked for me.

Thank you Maltimor this worked for me!

Bad news, the update 10.9.1 doesn't fix this bug ;( ...

Hopefully the power button fix it but strange that apple doesn't fix it yet...

how can we submit this to Apple as bug, those solution is indeed a temporary solution, if we happen

need to restart our laptop, I will not accept it as solution, cause everything will be fixed even without resetting the PRAM ...

No Apple support in this discussion board ?

I am ****** to change browser everytime this happen

I feel like using dumb laptop with cheap price ....

If the OPTION+COMMAND+P+R does not work, as previously mentioned, do not forget to do the following:

Go to System Preferences

Mouse

More Gestures

Enable Side Swipe

I have found a solution that have brought back swipes and no more freezes in Safari for me. Essentially it consists of forcing the swipe setting to be toggled a couple of times. For me, a single round of toggle has worked, and here is how to do it:

1) Navigate to the page System Preferences->Trackpad->More Gestures

2) Set "Swipe between pages" to disabled.

3) Click "Show All" to go to main System Preferences window (or type Cmd-Up as a shortcut)

4) Navigate back to the page Trackpad->More Gestures (eg by typing Cmd-] as a shortcut)

5) Set "Swipe between pages" to enabled.

It might be that the toggles can be automized by defaults writes, or, at least by Keyboard Maestro. Then it'll just be a keyboard shortcut to restore this bug whenever it occurs.

I have NOT installed BTT or any of the other gestures apps. I have some defaults writes, but nothing that ought to interfere. I think resetting the PRAM sounds like a sledgehammer.

I tried, this does not work for me.....

This problem really have been bother me....

Am I the only one who has to reset the internet settings as a 2-week basic? The problem disappear when I restart with command-option-p-r, but it comes back after 2 weeks..... Is there a way can solve this problem forever?

well done Kristopher, I was having a hard time trying to figure this out. This worked for me too. Happy New Year!!

Still have this problem. We'll see if resetting NVRAM fixes the problem, but I don't think it will. Also ran Apple Hardware Test (extended testing), found no issues.

Software/plugins of note in case there is some common denominator to this issue:

• Flash Player 11.9.900.170 (latest version at time of posting)
• Dashlane 2.3.2.52081
• Reddit Enhancement Sweet 4.3.1.2
• Little Snitch
• AdBlock

Also, I've only noticed this recently. The only major software change I've made recently is installing Final Cut 10.1 along with Motion and Compressor. I'm wondering if this is related to the QTKitServer (not responding) issues I've also been having...

It fixes the issue for a while but it happens again in a day or two.

I just download Mavericks on my mac 13.3'

two fingers swip up and down is ok but can't use this gesture for previous pages,

my trackpad doesn't have "swipe between 2 pages" option!

Need help

Thanks

This work for me and easier ; you don't need to quit any app or restart :

1 - Preference System > Bluetooth > Check "Show in Menu Bar"

2 - Pop up the bluetooth menu bar > Apple wireless Trackpad submenu > Disconnect

3 - same menu > Connect

This worked for me: I just pressed the power button to send my Mac to sleep, and when it came back on everything was working again. Thanks for the tip! 🙂

This one is odd, I had the same problem come up, my swipe was still on, didn't need to reset PRAM, I just swicted to natrual scroll and it went back to working. I wonder if the bug Could be the non natural scroller's. Just what happended to me.
