Three finger swipe no longer works on Mavericks

It works with a 2 finger swipe in safari.

You might go to Preferences>Trackpad and see if you need to reapply a custom jesture or reselect an already existing jesture option.

same issue. my settings are all the same as they were (system preferences>trackpad>more gestures>swipe between pages>scroll left or right with two fingers) and while i can still navigate between webpages this way...i cannot go back and forth between finder folders/subfolders like i used to be able to before the mavericks upgrade.

not sure if 1) it's no longer possible (seems unlikely) 2) it's now a different sub-option that i'm not seeing or 3) it is just a bug that'll be patched shortly...just wanted to echo the sentiment/affirm that i'm having the same issue.

Same problem here. I can do 3 finger swipe on Safari and Chrome but not in Finder window anymore after Mavericks upgrade today.

I'm really not liking the idea of having to install a third-party workaround in order to restore a massively useful and time-saving feature.

Oh no, I think Apple Feedback has a gripe on its way.

same issue. upgraded from Mountain Lion, before had no issue, and now i can't go back or forward with three finger. in fact, can't even use two fingers.

checking the box in for this feature in System Preferences seems to do absolutely nothing either.

perhaps it's just a bug that can be fixed soon but this is seriously my most used gesture so it is dearly missed.

i'm going to try a clean install later and see if that solves any issues.

I'm on a clean install. No joy.

It's a four finger swipe now...for some dark reason...

edit: Actually, it is a four finger swipe by default now. But you can change this to a 3 finger swipe in the trackpad settngs. If you look closely the four finger swipe is a dropdown that lets you choose a number of options. this is how you can change the swipe functionality

I think you are showing the move between screens not to move backwards and forwards in Finder.

so here's what i did to get three finger swipe to work as web navigation.

• initially i had "Swipe between pages" set for three fingers and "Swipe between full-screen apps" set to four fingers.
• i then switched "Swipe between full-screen apps" to three fingers which automatically unchecks the "Swipe between pages" box.
• then i checked the "Swipe between pages" box again which set the web navigation to two fingers. i then confirmed that the two finger swipe did actually work as it, along with three finger, was NOT working before.
• then i changed the "Swipe between pages" to three fingers which automatically changes the "Swipe between full-screen apps" to four fingers

now everything works as it did before!!!

EDIT: must note though since a lot of the comments on here are about navigating finder, i've never really used three finger gesters to navigate within finder since i almost always use column view with the arrow keys. i did test it though and it still appears that three finger gestures do not work in finder. all in all, there are a lot of areas which could use two, three, or four finger gesters to navigate from page to page in mavericks and even in previous OS X versions, most notably the Mac App Store and the iTunes stores. the solution above does however fix swiping forward and backward within Safari and Chrome.
