How do I double-click with a track-pad?

I'm new to Mac, and I just bought a beautiful new Apple MacBook laptop. I'm trying to install academic version of Adobe Photoshop 6 (this disk of software was originally made for PCs but I hear it's possible to make it work on a MacBook as well. My question is, how do I double-click with a track-pad, like in order to install new software from actual disks? I'm a multi-media artist and student, among other things. Thanks!

Hi -
Double clicking is done by going to System Preferences/Keyboar and Mouse/Trackpad and then selecting the action you'd like.
However, PS 6 will be more of a task!
If it's a Windows disc then you'll need to install a Windows XP on your Macbook either through Parallels or Bootcamp.
Perhaps another 'Mac Friendly' graphics program might be more suiting if you'd like to stick in with the Mac OS X enviornment. Check out these apps....

How to avoid double-click to click-box

Hello,
until now I did not find a solution for this problem:
I have created a training course for a specific application, and in this coure are some click boxes on which the user should click. On many click boxes should the user click only once but if he double-click the click box, in real application nothing happens. There is only one way to succes the action - one click. But in captivate when the user double-click the click box instead of one click it evaluate as success action (the click box is set only to one click, double-click checkbox is not checked).
So my question is, is there any way how to avoid double-click in cases where the user should click only once? Or in case he double-click the click box to show failure caption?
Many thanks.
Lukas

Hi all
Interesting thread. Unfortunately, what would be needed here is some sort of a widget that would run some internal timer. Sure, you can try multiple Click Boxes and configure one with a Single Click and one with a Double Click. But the problem with that (as I see it) is regardless of what you might try, the Single Click will win out every time. Thus you would need a widget of some sort that would "listen" for a Double Click and respond appropriately.
Tough call... Rick

How to handle double click event in a text control

Hi,
   Will u please send me information on handling double click events inside text control and also about locking and unlocking of DB tables for updation.
Regards,
Praba.

Hi Prabhavathi,
Here is how you handle double click events in Textedit control.
1)Create a custom control in screen (say TEXT_CONTROL)
2)In main program,
a) Declarations:
data: obj type ref to cl_gui_custiom_control.
      text type ref to cl_gui_textedit.
b) Create the instance of custom container
c) Create the instance of textedit control.
3)Now to handle double click events , create a local class as follows.
class shail_event definition.
public section.
methods:
handle_doubleclick for event dblclick of cl_gui_textedit .
endclass.
class shail_event implementation.
method handle_doubleclick .
here do the coding for handling the double click.
endmethod.
endclass.
4) Create an instance of the handler class(ie.ZSHAIL_EVENT).Let it be named hand.
5) Define varibles for event.
DATA: i_events TYPE cntl_simple_events,
      wa_events TYPE cntl_simple_event.
SET HANDLER hand->handle_doubleclick for text.
wa_events-eventid = cl_gui_textedit=>event_double_click.
wa_events-appl_event = 'X'. "This is an application event
APPEND wa_events TO i_events.
6)
    CALL METHOD texte->set_registered_events
      EXPORTING
        events                    = i_events
      EXCEPTIONS
        cntl_error                = 1
        cntl_system_error         = 2
        illegal_event_combination = 3
        OTHERS                    = 4.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
                WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    ENDIF.
These are the basic steps needed for handling events in Textedit control.You can go to SE24 and type CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT to find the associated events of the class.
If you want the program, kindly send your mail-id so that I can mail it to you.

Try restore as new using computer iTunes.

Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't.

Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't. I have bad eye-sight and really enjoy and NEED this feature to be able to read most sites.

Hi dwightfontenot-
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.

I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.
Also the track pad seems to be slower/ not picking up all my finger movements.

You might want to take the computer to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them give you an estimate, at least, on how much it would cost to 'fix' the trackpad - I've no idea what the cost would be. The trackpad on MBPs is one of the most sensitive elements in the computer's design. They usually don't go bad, but yours seems to be giving you some trouble: so just make a Genius Bar appointment and just get an estimate - might be something simple.

HT5815 Updated to 10.8.5 and now I cannot control my macbook pro with the track pad. Any solutions?

Like any other time, the App Store said there was a new update and asked if I wanted to update now. I did. Unfortunately, the update, after rebooting, has rendered the system unusable. I can no longer control the system with the track pad. The arrow is moving itself around the screen and the Launchpad periodically opens itself and gets locked in that mode. I've rebooted, launched in safe mode, and zapped PRAM. Nothing has changed. I experienced the same thing in safe mode, no change. Anyone else having these problems? Not sure what to do next.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check for unknown or forgotten input devices. Disconnect any USB input devices that you aren't using.
3. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
7. Some people have reported that they fixed a malfunctioning trackpad by pressing down on all four corners at once. I can't confirm, but it does no harm to try.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

HT203171 Track pad is erratic, sometimes scrolling without touching the pad. Also highlighting chunks of my Thesis with the touch of a finger. Frustrating because I have accidentally deleted during this out of control mechanism with the track pad.

My Mac Book Air has developed an erratic process with the track pad. Sometimes the page scrolls without touching the pad, great chunks of my Thesis can be highlighted and sometimes I delete without realising. Does anyone else have this problem. The Tech wants to replace my track pad today, not sure what to do?

With snow leopard, basic keyboard functions like double clicking on a desktop item now require me to hold control and then click on the track pad. I'm trying to recall, I seem to remember Leopard allowing you to double click items to open them?

I notice in iPhoto that if I used to be able to single/double click on a photo to view it but now if I click CONTROL and then the TRACK PAD, the options don't allow me to open JUST that photo in nearly full page format. Any suggestions?

"nearly full page" means that I used to be able to double click on a photo in iPhoto, and it would open up to a full image within iPhoto itself. Now, there is absolutely no option to enlarge a photo unless you go to slideshow - no option to double click or side click or Control+click or Command+click or anything at all. The small white arrow at the bottom right corner of every photo gives you options, but none are options that include enlarging a photo to see it bigger. And no, you cannot double click it at all to even open it up in any other app unless you click/drag onto desktop and then open in Photoshop, or equivalent app. Yes, checked TP preferences. No, it doesn't help.

How to print double sided with macbook pro on Samsung CLX-3180?

Hi,
I recently switched to using a macbook pro but cannot figure out how to print double sided/two-sided.
The printer I am using is Samsung CLX-3180 and it allows double-sided printing. I was able to do this with my windows computer previously.
The frustrating thing is that I see the two-sided feature but I cannot figure out how to turn it on. There is no option to change it.
It is listed here.
First, I go to "show presets."
Then, I click on "copies & pages" but I cannot turn it on.
Does anyone know how to turn it on?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi nat.the.musical,
If you are having issues selecting two-sided printing from the Print window, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Mountain Lion, but should also apply to Mavericks):

How to get "double click" as an event in Module Pool

Dear Experts,
Being new to ABAp, I am struck in a problem.
I want to get double click as an event in my module pool program.
On the screen I have two input/output fields. The attributes of them are as below:
1) 1st I/O field Attributes:
Name: WA_AUFN-A
Dropdown: List box
Display: Resp. to DblClk = Checked
1) 2nd I/O field Attributes:
Name: IT_AUF-A
Dropdown: No drop down box
Display: Resp. to DblClk = UN- Checked
I get some data populated in 1st I/O field in list display.
My Requirement:
As I select one of the data from the 1st I/O field and double click on it, then what I want is that the same selected data
should appear in the 2nd I/O field.
So I want to know how can I capture "Double click as an event".
Can any1 help me out.
Regards
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
below is the explanation.
for example if u have 2 screen fields VBAK-VBELN & VBAK-VKORG.
VBAK-VBELN has some value say 1000. based on this one u have to fill VBAK_VKORG.
Data: l_f_field like HELP_INFO-DYNPROFLD,
l_f_value like vbak-vbeln.
case pick.
GET CURSOR FIELD l_f_field.
with this u will get to know on which field user is double clicked. so, in this case l_f_filed will have a value of VBAK-VBELN
if l_f_field = ''VABK-VBELN' and
l_f_value = '1000'. "this is optional, based on ur requirement
VBAK-VKORG = '0780'. "fill here
endif.
endcase.
Let me know if it is not clear.
Regards,
Prasad
