What happened to swipe between pages with 2 fingers?

[grave101]

Seems like ever since I installed Lion, I can't swipe between web pages, Finder pages, App Store or any kind of pages with two or three fingers using the Trackpad or the Magic Mouse. I used the feature a lot and for some reason Lion removes that ability.

I have the "Swipe Between Pages" option enabled, but it seems to not work.

Anyone had any luck with this?

Edit: I just re-enabled the Swipe with 3 Fingers for the Trackpad, and that seems to work, though the Magic Mouse still seems to not work when swiping

For some reason I thought that was only to do with Safari 5.1.

2-finger swipe for safari is only with the trackpad by default. 3-finger swipe gets you moving between spaces with the trackpad. with the magic mouse, the default is 1-finger swipe. you can go into system preferences > mouse, and just beneath the label 'Swipe between pages', you should see a drop down menu, where you can change between 1-finger swipe, 2-finger swipe, or both. hope that helps!

I turned the "Swipe between pages" option to "Swipe with two or three fingers".

Gives you the best of both worlds: 2 fingers back and forth in Safari -- and 3 finger back and forth in other windows like Finder, just like in Snow Leopard.

The 3 finger also works good in Safari, I just don't understand why the 3 finger swipe isn't inverted like the rest of the gestures?

It's gone from Chrome. And it no longer works within iTunes. Thought I was paying for an upgrade. I guess not.

I also am not pleased that I can no longer swipe in iTunes! I used that all the time.

It isn't. I did what the OP did and enabled Swiping with 3 fingers and voila! Back in business. Phew

Yeah, it's mind-boggling that Apple defaults the OS to use a method that only works in 1(!!!) program and breaks it in every other that previously worked. We like to mock Windows, but this is just as stupid as anything I've ever seen in another OS.
