    Hey guys, just got my 2.4 ghz macbook today and im loving it. The only thing I happened to notice is that the upward four finger swipe (hide all windows) doesn't work half the time. Actually its more than half and I really like to use the feature. Could it be a problem with the macbook? Downward swipe and all other gestures work perfectly every time. Maybe I'm not doing it right?

    do the trackpad update (if you havent already) and try it then. otherwise im inclined to say you're doing something a little off.

    sometimes it is a problem with the firmware......example is the glass trackpad being unresponsive (late 2008 MB and MBP) which is solved with the new update of the firmware....if updating does not help, you should give Apple a call
