On my 2011 macbook pro, pinch to zoom using the trackpad stops working periodically ever since upgrading to Yosemite. Rebooting seems to solve the problem. Otherwise, it eventually starts working again, the stops again after a period of time. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Hey RobRobRobRobRob,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the trackpad isnt working correctly. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Thanks. I've taken a look at those articles with no luck. The only reason I think it's the upgrade to Yosemite is because the problem started immediately after and in the meantime I'm using an app called bettertouchtool, which allows me to use pinch to zoom as normal, so I can tell that it's not the trackpad itself.
Thank you for using the Apple Support Community. Due to the nature of your issue or question you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.
I have exactly your same problem. Have you solved it?
MBP mid-2014 (brand new) OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
I have the same problem. It just started, about a month after the upgrade. I've gone to the trackpad settings, but no changes help, so it's back to where it was. I could not find "bettertouchtool" in the app store. Did you download it from another site? Thanks for any help.
It also doesn't work for me. I find the features listed below to stop working randomly. They do not work, not only in Safari, but the entire OS.
I've tried to find a solution to this problem and things like: ' killall Dock ' or disabling all Safari extensions had no result at all. The only thing that works is restarting the Mac (which is a pain in the ***) or wait for the gestures to miraculously come back on. Apart from the trackpadgestures problem, I, among many others, am experiencing UI lag when for example I'am pressing F3 to switch between apps. This problem can only be solved if you activate the "increase contrast" mode, which looks awful. Again, no update or official answer from Apple to this problem.
To me it seems like this a OS problem, that a lot of people are facing, to which Apple turns it back. From my point of view, it all began when Apple decided to release a new version of OS every year.
The funny thing is that when I went to "iStyle", the main retailer for Apple products in my country, I've seen the same issues on the Macbooks that were exposed over there, which is funny and sad at the same time.
My configuration:
Machine: 15" MBPr Late 2013 16GB RAM, 256 SSD, i7 2.0 GHz
OS: Yosemite 10.10.3
