I have to "single-click" twice (not double click) to open an item in the Dock.

Can someone confirm if this is Expected Behavior??   (OS = Mavericks)
If you have Assigned an application in your Dock to a Desktop & Display in the application's Dock >> Options  (ex: Assigned To:  Desktop on Display 2):
Click once on the application icon in the Dock, the application's Menu will populate on the top of your screen, but not the application itself (yet), click the application icon a second time, the application will now show too. 
Docked Applications that do not have an Assigned To: Desktop & Display in the Dock options, you only need to single click.
FYI:
For odd Dock behaviors otherwise try this:
You may have a corrupted Dock preferences file.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist    (plist = preference list file)
Click Go then move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the Trash, or move it to your Desktop.
Restart your Mac and see if the behavior is resolved.  You will have re-configure your Dock settings.

From where are you launching Mail? The only place, unless I've missed or forgotten something, you can launch an application with a single click is from the Dock. Is this what you're doing, or are you attempting to launch Mail from the Applications folder?
Regards.

  • How to detect only single click and not double-click mouse events in Swing?

    Hi,
    In my application, I want to implement a functionality only for single click. But problem is on double click, first i can see a single click and then double click.
    i.e e.getCount() return 1 and then 2 for double click. I want to avoid this situation.
    Shouldn't it be just one event with a clickCount of 2? or any alternative solution?
    Please let me know how can i stop this.
    Thanks in advance..
    Cheers

    import java.awt.event.MouseListener;

  • Why does my event structure run a single click when I double-click?

    I would like to treat single-clicks differently than double-clicks but it appears that when I double-click an item on a Front Panel control it runs the single-click event once before running the double-click event.  I would like the single-click event not to trigger if the user double-clicks.
    I am discarding the "Mouse Down?" filter event then using the "Mouse Up" notify event to try to catch the difference between a single-click and double-click.
    Should I be doing something different with the timeout event (right now it does nothing)?
    Should I stop displaying the event type?
    Should I eliminate the 5 msec Wait in the Producer Loop?
    Should I use the "Mouse Down" notify event instead of the "Mouse Up" notify event?

    JeffOverton wrote:
    If you edit the event cases, is the "Lock front panel until the case for this event completes" box checked?
    I think this is a key configuration to understand.
    The current configuration means that the 'mouse up' event for the first click is triggered. Then immideatly the front panel is locked. The second click needs to wait until the event has finished. So I think unchecking that box might improve the code.
    Yes you should remove the 5 ms. wait, it has little purpose. It might even cause this: Click 1(& lock), wait 5 ms, event 1 (&unlock), click2 (no double click anymore).

  • Magic mouse not double clicking

    Ever since I upgrade my iMac to Lion OS  my mouse will not double click consistantly.  I tried purchasing a new mouse thinking that my other mouse had a click problem but that didn't fix my problem.  Anybody else having this problem?  Any work arounds?

    I tried this, too, thinking it would solve the problem. It didn't. In fac, it may have made it worse. So weird. I can click to select, right click and choose open, but I cannot double click to open a file or folder. This started AFTER I rebuild a Mac with a new hard drive and fresh install of Lion et al. Anybody have an ideas?

  • Disabling normal JButton click behaviour for double click

    This seems quite a poser.
    Basically I have a test JButton for testing double click speed. This is in a dialog with the JButton and a JSlider.
    I have some code which detects the double click, I add this as using 'addMouseListener()', but I need to disable the normal single click action of the JButton to replace it by the double click code calling 'doClick()'.
    How do I disable the normal single click functionality ?
    I have looked through the SDK source but cannot fathom the normal behaviour of the event mechanism.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

    I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly". I am an old dude new to Mac OS. Looked in settings but have no idea how to allow file sharing to myself. I have been using Aperture actively for 6 weeks. I'm the only one using this Mac. What up?

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • I have ipad wi-fi cellular.  Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader.  I tried syncing photos through itunes and that didn't work either.What do I need to do to get photos on ipad?

    Have ipad wi-fi cellular.  Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader.  I also can't download photos from pc through itunes.  Need help getting pictures on ipad.

    For the SD card, are you copying the photos onto it yourself from your computer ? If you are then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
    In terms of syncing photos, what happens when you try ? You should be able to sync photos by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side selecting the Photos tab - using that tab you should be able to select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
