My trackpad gestures have not been working correctly ever since I upgraded to Mavericks

I'm having the same problem.

I have a MacBook Pro 13"(Mid-2010) which i use in clamshell mode with a Apple keyboard and a Magic TrackPad and today i started to have problems with the gestures.

First the scrolling and swipe back stopped on Chrome, i quit and reopened and it came back, but then it stopped on other applications, which quitting and reopening solves, but it also stopped on the system when trying to swipe between the spaces, which forced me to disconnect and reconnect the Magic Trackpad.

Already rebooted and the problem continues.

Same problem here, but concerning ALL gestures.

Checked all my settings they seem correct.

After RESTART it all works fine again (as it used to) for a while.

Problems re-occur after some time.

I have the same problem after updating to Mavericks. I have an iMac and found an easy solution but I don't know how it would work with a Macbook. I just turned off the trackpad by pressing and holding the power button. Then turned it back on. All Gestures now working. Hope this helps.

Worked for me. Oddly simple solution, but thanks for the tip!

I tried everyhting, including trashing the preferences for the bluetooth trackpad, then I found LabRabbit's solution which worked for me.

The good old turn it off and on again trick!

Possible workaround through changing Mission Control preferences here:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5513979?answerId=23778506022#23778506022

Same problem here, wonder if it is to do with Chrome 😟

I haven't been able to swipe back and forth through Chrome pages for ever, and then I wont be able to slide left and right through the screens I have, no Mission Control gestures or Expose, I can only scroll.

All Track Pad pref are fine and ticked.

I keep getting uncompleted animations when downloading files etc too, the file will download and open, just the icon still shows the download animation but stuck.

Mission Control always shows a partly downloaded bar from within the icon too.

Shame the last OS was so very stable, hope they get this one smoothed out. If they are trying to intergrate IOS and OSX, then they need to make the gesture bug a priority.

thanks for the fix!

(but we really shouldnt be having this problem in 2013, bad apple)

been having this same problem, all gestures randomly stop working and I can't switch to a different space no matter what (click on app icons, using the cmd+tab, launching the spaces with F3, etc.)

my solution has been to restart the Dock using the Terminal (killall Dock) and all goes back to normal for a while, it's quite irritaing

I've been having the same problem as well, and killall Dock seems to be fixing it, for a while as well.

THis happnes to me all the time. Regardless if I reboot or not. Rebooting is only a temporary fix.

I'm having major issues with this expensive macbook pro (15" Retina). Computer freezes all the time. I get the Blue diagonal screen with Green stripe. I don't understand what's going on. And it's sad it's been happening but it is becoming more and more of a nuisance. Especially that the warranty is now up.

Also just experienced this bug. Out of nowhere, no gestures worked. Powered off the trackpad then back on, and all is fine again. Really hope this gets squashed, fast.

Finally !!! this has been bugging me for a long time. Power cycling my magic trackpad seems to fix it - but still annoying.
