Problem scrolling in WebBrowser after Mavericks upgrade?

What software update, there has been no update to Mavericks to solve this at all. On my 2011 iMac the only update has been iTunes.

Solved the problem with scrolling in Chrome not working with setting 'Swipe between pages' option to 'Swipe with three fingers' rather than 'Scroll left or right with two fingers' or 'Swipe with two or three fingers' in System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures.

There is now a new update avaliable that appears to be dedicated to this bug

- MacBook Pro Retina EFI Update v1.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1704

> This update is recommended for MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, late 2013) models.

>

> This update addresses an issue where the built-in keyboard and Multi-Touch

> trackpad may become unresponsive.

I've not applied the update but will within the hour... I'm hoping this fixes it; all of the other suggestions / fixes havn't really helped and all feel a touch hacky.

3 finger swipe, no -I want to use what I do everywhere else!

My suggestion, of using BTT, it's okay but it not the same either visually or feel and can be too sensitive.

As for reboots, they're just pointless... Quite aside of not wating to restart all my services, it only reccours within moments of restarting and if you wait and not reboot the scroll & swipe starts to work again.

UPDATE - Sure enough, that update has fixed it!

I am running 2010 MBP and happened to me after an upgrade to Mavericks. However the EFI update is not suitable for my MBP (as it is not retina) so the issue is still outstanding.

I'm not saying that this is a factor in the fault - I am just noting that the fix for the EFI update which is listed as the solution, will not install in a non-Retina MBP.

Therefore there is still the issue with non-Retina MBP without a fix.

Greetings,

I have an iMac 10,1 with OS X Mavericks installed for several weeks now.

But the scrolling problem appeared only today.

While Safari and Firefox present scroll problems, usually after trying any two-finger gesture on the mouse, Thunderbird apparently is immune... strange.

Additionally, a double-finger double-tap on the mouse does not call up Mission Control anymore. ^up and the rest of the ^ commands work.

Neither the "enable scroll bars always" nor the "disable two-finger swipe" suggestions worked.

Obviously the Retina MBP update solution does not apply in my set-up either.

Closing and reopening the webbrowsers works, until I (accidently) use a two-finger gesture.

Update: a complete power cycle of the iMac solved the problem (jointly with the change of "show scrollbars" to "only when scrolling").

This issue just happened to me today. The back and forward page gestures in Chrome 31.0.1650.57 build have dissappeared.

If I try to use those gestures, then scrolling just stops! This is very furstrating.

There has been no new update to fix this!

so updating mavericks with MacBook Pro Retina EFI Update v1.3 fix the problem?

I wonder if any of you using vmware fusion 6? I realize everytime I open vmware fusion, I have the problem.But the weirdest thing is if I open vmware fusion together with parallels desktop, the problem fixed!

@yauri - Yep the EFI Update for MBP Retina Has deffo fixed my problem.

As for VMWare Fusion (6.0.1), I have it installed and running almost 100% of the time. No Parralels however.

Just for clarification, I discovered the gesture / scroll issues within 10mins of first using my new MBP, this was prior to installing Fusion, or anything else for that matter.

Hi,

I just bought this macbook pro 2013 retina 13" and I am having the same problem. I tried to follow the link and install the update, but it doesnot allow me to do so. It says update not supported. What should I do?

From Apple support:

Close all applications, if you want, you may do so by pressing cmd + alt + esc and selecting each application and clicking on the "Force Quit".
Then you have to disconnect all external devices (USB, Firewire, etc ...) and any network cables.
Then you have to disable the Wi-Fi connection.
Then must click the Go button, located next to the Finder on the top bar.
Click on "Computer".
Then in the window that opens has to click on "Library".
Now you have to locate the folder Preferences> SystemConfiguration and open it.
Then you have to empty the contents of that folder. If you want you can make a copy first on the desktop.
Then you have to restart your Mac and immediately after the black screen reboot must press this key combination: cmd + alt + P + R, and hold them until they hear the "dong" of the start three times in a row.
After that you can safely release.
And everything should go ok 😉
