I'm an extremely NEW Mac user but quickly was falling in love with my new to me 15.4" Macbook Pro. It was originally purchased new in May of 2010 with the following specs:
2.66 Ghz i7
8 Gig Ram
7200 RPM - 500Gig HD
Anti-Glare Hi-Res
Computer is great, fast, and easy to use... However, somewhere along the way the 3 finger gesture of swiping to the top and bottom of pages has quit working. The 4 fingers still work and I've installed a program to make sure the touch pad is recognizing all of my fingers and it is...
The settings have been verified in preferences, I've turned them off, rebooted, turned on, rebooted, and tried everything I could find using google and nothing is making it work.
I did a reinstall of the Os (took forever to download the gig plus of updates afterwards - so I don't want to do that again!) over the existing data (it never asked me which kind of install to do - I just ran it from the desktop - not rebooting while holding a key).
I think the issue popped up when I added an add-on to firefox and it wouldn't run again. I had to remove firefox completely and it will ONLY run now if I run it without download helper or install the new Beta of FF.
The 3 finger swipe isn't working in ANY of the programs...
Please help - I just got the computer a few days ago and don't want to send it off to Apple already...
I've wore search out (how I found this great forum) and still nothing works... Come on gurus - help an old PC guy out!
