3 finger on trackpad.. and welcome screen question

[ryans79]

Hey there,

I tried to do an import from my old MB to my new MBP (unibody) and i got sooo much of bloat and crap from the old one... that i just reinstalled OSX on the MBP - which has literally saved me gigs.

Here's a problem though:
before I could use 3 fingers on the trackpad to "jump" up and down (the beginning or end) on a webpage... but now i am unable to do that, only left to right (forward/backward) is working

How do i get that old functionality back?

And my second question, after i installed osx you get that "welcome animation" which basically says "welcome" in a lot of languages... how do i get that to play again? its pretty cool and i want to show it to my sis.

Thanks!

Ok, 3 finger top down seems to be working again.. in FF, not in Safari... so i think a mod can delete this thread... would appreciate it if someone told me how to do the welcome screen though...

Thanks!

The 3 finger webpage jump is a Firefox thing. Safari doesn't do that.

As to the welcome movie, you can cause it to play again at next boot, but it requires a terminal command.

sudo rm /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone

The movie can be dug out of the /System/Library/CoreServices folder, but the video and audio are stored as separate files so it wouldn't have the same effect.

Hey Darth,

Thanks for replying!

Yep, figured out it was a FF thing, very cool of them to think of that, i hope it catches on and becomes standard.

How do i do this:

sudo rm /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone

am kinda new to all things Apple..

Open up the program titled "Terminal" from the Applications/Utilities folder and type/paste that command.

Will do!

BTW Bill, how are things now that you are away from Microsoft?
Ohh! Almost forgot, Vista sucks.

Why go through so much trouble? Here's the Leopard opening screen in HD from YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDSTIwQCoi0&feature=PlayList&p=861126EA32A8979E&index=7

It asking me to enter all that setup information from the beginning... i just wanted the animation

Do i have to enter all that info or can i just shutdown?
