I installed MultiClutch several Times on my MBA. It just won't work. I added applications like Firefox or iTunes, then I chose gesture and key command.
I restarted the application, nothing happend. Also, I tried it with global gestures, same here.
Multitouch is working where it has to (iPhoto, Safari ... ). So what else can I try to fix it? It is a great thing to wirte such a programm, but on my MBA it is not working.
I installed MultiClutch on my Mac. Now I am wondering how to use it so that when I open multiple tabs in Firefox, I can 3-finger swipe to switch between them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need help with Multiclutch. How can I find out what the keyboard commands are for things I want to do? I know that some of them show up in the menus at the top, but not everything does, or at least I am not seeing it.
The one I am specifically looking for right now is switching between tabs in Firefox. What key combo would I use for that? Another one I am looking for is undo close tab.
Are there any other key combos you can think of that might not be obvious, but might be something someone would want to know about?
I have been waiting to get a MBP for about 2 months now and I finally got one. One of the first apps I made sure to get was Multiclutch. This is easily the sickest app on the MBP.
In case anyone doesnt know, multiclutch extends the multitouch feature on the trackpads on new MBPs and MBA.
Extends is really too small a word though, because before, the gestures dont do a damn thing. Any way, a little tinkering around with multiclutch and I think I pretty much have the lay of the land.
First thing is first- global applications: these are your bread and butter in multiclutch. set up some good ones that will help u with anything. some that are good are:
swipe down -cmd-H -hides current window
zoom out -cmd-Q -quits current application
and I like Rotate left -cmd-W - closes current window- ill get more into that one in a minute.
these should get u started and used to multiclutch and most importantly global gestures will affect programs that wouldnt usually be affected by multiclutch such as carbon apps (itunes and finder especially).
IMPORTANT: if you try to put gestures in itunes or any other carbon app remember to reset the shortcut for the global apps and the app will be able to use some gestures again
next most important application for gestures: firefox- or your browser of choice. These ones work great and really streamline the browsing experience. im still toying with these a little but the ones i have now are:
rotate right -cmd-T- new tab
rotate left -cmd-W -this and the global app with the same function for the same gesture really work great together. in firefox cmd-W will close ur current tab and in global it will close ur current window- really intuitive and helpful
zoom in -cmd-shift-T -opens ur most recently closed tab-good for when u accidentally rotate left
swipe right- cmd ] - forward
swipe left -cmd [ -back -saves a lot of time
obviously these firefox ones are not completely ideal because it would be nice to switch tabs when u want to as well, but the other gestures dont really work for switch tab, and the goal is really to make the gestures something simple and obvious.
that said i am tinkering with moving back to swipe up and then just having left right be for switching -so far its not really working because the combo for previous tab is set to the same button combo as the little app switcher thingie.
anyway clearly more work needs to be put in, but i just got my MBP a few days ago, so im constantly trying out new gestures for different actions.
If anyone has any gestures they think are good please share them, or if anyone thinks they know some better ones than the ones i point out.
I'm referring to the app by William Henderson MultiClutch [URL]. It doesn't work for Carbon apps. It wont work for Finder and iTunes.
HOWEVER, I found a way for both, partially.
Finder: When you turn on your computer just do Command-I on any finder window and then close it and multiclutch will start working
iTunes: just go to help, open help, close it and it starts working. BUTTT if you close iTunes and open it again, it does again, and I have to repeat the open help and close. This is annoying.
Any fixes for this? Also will this problem be solved in 10.6 since the Finder is written in Cocoa?
How Do I Get Multiclutch To Refresh My Browser Page?
just installed SL on my rev B MBAir SSD...everything seems to be running smoothly (after re-activating coolbook) except for multiclutch...Multiclutch works in several applications (ie VLC), but doesn't work in several others (ie Safari)....is anyone else having this issue?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMulticlutch isn't supposed to work in iTunes since it's a Carbon app and Multiclutch only supports Cocoa apps, right?
Well, the past hour, multiclutch has been working just fine in iTunes.
Swipes assigned to previous/next track.
Rotates to volume controls.
etc...
I find this weird because a month ago, it didn't work and I'm still in the same beta version. How is this possible?
I installed Snow Leopard last night, and I found the biggest problem for me. MultiClutch does NOT work under Snow Leopard.
This is a HUGE disappointment for me as I use MultiClutch ALL the time.
Unfortunately it appears that a whole rewrite of the app is needed in order for it to work again.
Does anyone have the ability to rewrite this app? The source code is available here: [URL]

Multiclutch on Snow Leopard?
Possible?

After my macbook hard drive kindly failed on me, I ordered a new Seagate Momentus 5400.5, 320gb hard drive. I popped that sucker in this afternoon and began to start up my macbook with the OS X disc 1. Everything was going smoothly, except that it can't find the hard drive. It is recognized under my disk utility, but when I click to partition it, select options, select GUID, click 'OK', I can neither Name it 'Macintosh HD' or do anything else.
I can't proceed with anything because when it asks me to select a HD, the HD does not show up. Again, everything works except that the hard drive is not found. I pulled the hard drive out. Made sure the screws were alright. Made sure everything was all snuggly, and yet it still won't work.
I have a brand new MBP. I have a 1tb external drive with 250gb's of music. I have it attached to my mac via USB. I CANNOT GET ITUNES TO CREATE A NEW LIBRARY ON THE EXTERNAL DRIVE. I CANNOT DRAG AND DROP OR ADD FILE/FOLDER.
But get this, I hook it up to my old Dell and I can do whatever I want. I am friggin pissed that I spent all this money on Mac equip and can't get it going. You may have seen my other post where I posed my issue of: 1tb ethernet drive hooked to airport extreme. Above mentioned 1tb hooked up to back of it via usb. I am completely unable to copy, move, or add files using my mac. But guess what. my pc handles it easily and quickly.
Restored my HD this AM from a TM backup and am experiencing a lot of problems which include (1) Safari and iPhoto crash upon launch, (2) Mail launches but crashes when I attempt to access an email, (3) I have several "offline images" in my Aperture Library and any attempt to access metadata results in a crash.

Today, I opened up my project and I could not play the project (the red line would move, but no picture would show up in the upper right hand corner box) and ALL of the options in the "share" tab were gray and unable to click them. Many options in the "edit" and "file" tabs were unable to be clicked as well.

This is my first post with my new Macbook PRO I just recently received, the reason I am posting this is because the new Macbook PROs are pretty tough I believe.
Every since I got my Macbook I tried my hardest to keep it nice but last night about made me cry when I sat my Macbook PRO on the edge of my bed then my girlfriend 'who is isn't light' came down and sat right on it...
After I saw it under her I went and grabbed it, turn it on, and surprisingly everything still works and operates properly.
I just bought two 2GB Kingston 667MHz DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM sticks (KVR667D2S5/2G)
If I try both together they don't work, the computer just don't boot. The screen remains black and the power led on, but nothing else happens (no sound at all).
If I try one of the new sticks with one of the old (original) 512MB sticks, then they work and the OS recognizes 2.5GB.
I am 100% sure the sticks are well installed as I tried both with the old memory and I switched them once at a time to make sure they were installed properly.
According to the Mac's documentation and as far as I've been reading in the forums, it should work fine with 4GB.
I've couldn't find anything in the forums that could help me to solve this problem.
My computer:
Macbook white 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.5.7)

I had my MB inside a neoprene case, inside my backpack, and I set it down on the hardwood floor kind of hard. Everything is fine, so I'm just wondering if they are made to take a couple aggressive set downs.
I'm just paranoid, I use the computer for work and can't afford to lose it.
I have a mid-2010 15'' MBP and I was considering upgrading the hard-drive to SSD. Wanted to see if the process is fairly simple and recommended SSD drives which are popular and of course fast.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an old white C2D macbook that I got back in '07 from Apple UK. Currently have it running Snow Leopard all up to date etc.
Recently I have experienced random shutdowns when running from battery power, like at 60%, no where near low power really.
I tried recalibrating the battery, and resetting the PRAM like it says on one of the Apple support pages, but the problem still persists
It is fine when run off AC mains power, so this leads me to deduce that the battery is FUBAR.
We've got a MacBook that's not booting. It gives a question mark when we turn it on.
I've tried resetting the PRAM and SMC, to no avail.
I've tried booting holding Option to list all bootable volumes, and nothing is listed unless I put the install DVD in.
I've booted from the restore disks, and tried to reimage the MacBook, but no volumes showed up to install to.
I tried Disk Utility off the install DVD, and it listed no bootable volumes.
I tried System Profiler off the install DVD, and it said "There was an error while scanning for Serial-ATA devices."
Is this absolutely for sure a hardware issue? this guy seems to have solved almost the same problem without, but I'm not able to reinstall like he did (it gives me no volumes to install to).
I don't have much time and need to know whether to send it in to Apple or not. Being that we're past 90 days, they won't give us tech support over the phone, so if it's not a hardware problem, we're going to get charged, and other circumstances dictate that the computer either be fixed or installed ASAP.

I have just received all the cable to connect my Macbook Pro to my 40" Samsung HDTV. mini display port dvi --> dvi to hdmi adapter --> HDMI cable plus a RCA audio cable. It will connect and the sound is fine but on the TV the Menu bar (at top) is gone but only because the TV seems to be cutting it off and 1/2 inch of the dock is gone too (this is using mirroring displays). I have also tried switching off mirror displays and transfer the menu bar and dock over but you still cannot see the menu bar and you can barely see the dock, also some of the sides are cut off. Its not a huge problem but it would be nice to be able to see the whole screen.

I know want to move a few more files but my PC is not showing up as being shared on my mac. And my macbook isn't showing up in the network on my PC. Both computers are connected to the internet now and working. But I just can't access them from each other. I just got my first Mac a few days ago so I am very uneducated on this stuff right now. Do you guys have any idea how I could fix this?
