Magic Trackpad: How do I go back and forward in Lion?

[yustas]

I know it is probably a dumb question, but I am newbie, so here is what I cannot figure out. In OS X, using the Magic Trackpad, swiping two fingers to the left or to the right, would bring me back or forward to the pages I have already visited. It works in Safari, but doing it in the iTunes or the Appstore does not seem to work anymore.

For example, I opened iTunes, clicked on some stuff in it and want to go back to a page I have already visited, when I swipe with two fingers to the left, I get the left, nothing happens, if I swipe with three fingers to he left, I get a different screen with a calculator, the clock and the weather. What am I missing?

it only works in some applications, not everything.

Try four fingers. At least to go back. I'm not sure why they didn't make it the same between apps for continuity.

Caveat - you may not have the same system prefs as I do.

I use 4 finger swipe to move back and forward pages when surfing in chrome. Not sure if this applies to other programs though.

Download Chrome Canary and you can use the two finger swipe (sideways) to go back and fwd between web pages.
