Just finally upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on my Macbook Pro and now the swiping gestures do not work on the trackpad OR the new Magic Mouse. They will both still scroll, but no 3 finger or 4 finger swiping for back and forth or pinching to zoom. They have always worked until now. I also downloaded the Magic Mouse update. Anyone have this issue??
Got a tip for us?

Two things:
1. Go into a different User account on your Mac and see if gestures/Magic Mouse works. (If you don't have one, temporarily make a the Guest account available). If it does work on a different account, your preference files are corrupt.
2. Repair Permissions

Dude, you just fixed my problem. I'm serious. I did not have to even repair permissions, as soon as I logged out of the Guest account, it started working. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can the data deleting bug still affect the op? If op don't use a guest account until 10.6.2
No problem!
Just incase you didn't know, make sure you log back into your account and delete your preference files. (Which are in MACINTOSH HD:USERS:HOME FOLDER:LIBRARY
REFERENCES). I don't know which preference files to delete though (maybe someone can chime in).No problem!

Yeah, it happened again! Anyone know what to delete in preferences so this stops happening?
You've been trying to solve this since Nov. 1st. It might be better to reinstall the OS.
