Can't double-click to minimize iTunes 11 toolbar?

I know this is a minor gripe compared to some of the other issues people are having with the new iTunes 11 (very odd that they'd take CoverFlow away, for example), but this one annoys me.  I've developed the habit of double-clicking my application windows (not the tiny yellow radio button) to minimize them and with the new iTunes, I'm no longer able to do that. 
Was this an oversight?  Was this deliberate?  Seems very odd that they'd miss something obvious like this. 
Or, alternatively, am *I* missing something?
Thanks.

It's not just you....it's all of us it seems...  And it is pathetically annoying.  I cannot stand the little mini-box they want you to use and that double-clicking has gone away (on iTunes only!?!?!?) is really stupid.  It must be an oversight in the build.  Apple is supposedly about making things better but geez....

  • I can't double click to collapse firefox window into the dock

    I'm running OS X with the newest Firefox (the Yahoo Edition.) Suddenly, double clicking in the top of the window no longer collapses it into the dock. I've tried repairing permissions and dumping the Firefox prefs to no avail. I just did a Firefox security update a few days ago and I'm wondering if that has anything to do the problem.

    I have this problem too (Mac Firefox 21) but only when using a custom theme. When using the default Firefox appearance, I can still double-click to minimize Firefox to the dock. I wonder if all the other people who've complained of this problem were also using a custom theme?

  • ITunes 11 double click to minimize

    Hi guys,
    Overall iTunes 11 offers some nice improvements, and the ability to have a bit of the 'legacy' functionality in allowing the sidebar to still be used etc. is great. Very glad I can configure it.
    However.... I can no longer double click anywhere in the title bar or header for iTunes to minimize the application which is extremely frustrating as it breaks the pattern from EVERY other OS X application where you have the option to double click to minimize, and to minimize into the application icon.
    Does anyone know how to fix this, or is this not possible until Apple puts this feature back in?

    I hope it's soon they fix it too - annoying me every time I forget and have to minimize it another way.
    The default configuration of the machines in the Apple store is kind of annoying. I hope it wasn't an oversight or a cue towards simplification. In the store... the icons on the dock have no zoom at all, so one of the 'cool and defining' differences in OSX (IMO) is the dock behaviour and design with reflections etc. The applications all minimize to the right on the dock, instead of into their application icons and right click on the mouse setups is turned off, and the icons look messy on the right until you turn documents/downloads into display as folder. Makes things seem like a fisher-price toy a little bit until you customize it properly. I know a few people who weren't really liking OSX until a few of these options were turned on, and made a huge difference for them.
    Anyways long story short.... let's get the functionality back Apple!

  • Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

    Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.  This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes.  If I just hit play, this doesnt happen.  As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order.  Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it.  When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example).  But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason.  Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening.  Any thoughts?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

  • I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

    I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
    The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
    I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
    Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
    Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
    Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
    Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
    Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
    Best wishes

  • Can't double click and add event in month view. HELP!

    For some strange reason, I can't double click to addevent on Ical Monthly view all of a sudden. Whenever I double click, nothing happens. Same thing happens on the year view.
    I can only add event now using the stupid + signs, or go into daily or weekly view. HELP!

    I have this problem too.  Just started today all of a sudden.  When I am in iCal on my Macbook, I double click - like I have been doing since ical was invented - and nothing happens, other than a quick "updating" message.  I tried clicking the "+" button but all it gives me is  "quick event" to add but nothing ever shows up in my iCal calendar on my mac.   When I log into to iCal in the Cloud - lo and behold! - I see dozens and dozens of "new event" entries all over my calendar!  What is going on and how can this be corrected?  At this point my computer's ICal program is basically now useless since I am prevented from adding anything to it. 

  • I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2.  or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2.  or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello All,
    Also no answer but am having the same problem.  All my catalogueing via folders is up in smoke and no external HDs (where I would normally directly store raw footage when importing) showing up on the iMovie interface.  It is a pain the arse to go back to the earlier version - why APPLE, pray tell, do you continue to lower expectations user-friendly functions. Shall try the option+open for a library but this too is extremely inconvenient if it works like iPhoto because you have to log out to log in to a new library whereas I just want to be able to see my multiple HDs directly from the iMovie menu and then the folders within folders I have layered in there - to make it easy to FIND STUFF. Wake up Apple, you are NOT meeting your customer's needs or desires.
    Thanks to the posters who are helping the rest of us lost in the dark with possible solutions - free fix-its for Apple which they don't deserve.

  • Blocks in standalone applications which can be double clicked for changing parameters

    Can we have blocks in standalone applications which can be double clicked for changing parameters.
    something like an options/configure button which opens another window and helps us to change tha parameters  of that particular
    block.

    Well, you will need to program your application that way. Maybe I am not understanding this correctly but what parameters do you want to change in your standalone application?

    he is on a pc, we bought a subscription to the license and was told it's 180 a year or 14.99 monthly per user, on the business plan.  So the sales rep on the phone walked us through adding the people who will be added to account who will need a license to use.  the sales rep said that we just need to go to that section and add users and it will email the user a link to download the file and install

  • Can't double-click to open a topic

    I have no idea what happened, but now I can't double-click to
    open topics. I can right-click and select Open with WYSIWYG. The
    only thing I can figure out, is an automatic Windows update
    occured, then I couldn't open topics by double-clicking. Please
    help, this is such a drag!

    Yes I can imagine it's a drag
    . I'm assuming this is not limited to just a few
    topics or projects but across the board? From the menu item you
    mention you are using a version of RH older than X5 - which is what
    I have. Can you ensure that RH is flagged as your default editor.
    Try looking at your options. In X5 it's in the HTML Editors
    tab.

  • Can't double click to open PDF files

    Within the past two weeks I'm getting this odd error where I can't open a PDF file by double clicking it. I get an error saying "This action is only valid for products that are already installed"
    I have Reader 8.1.2. installed. I CAN open a PDF file when I open up Adobe Reader and then browse and select the file from the File Menu. I just can't double click to open any more. Very annoying.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Reader, but I'm getting the same error.
    Any help is much appreciated!

  • I updated my iPad to ios 7.1, and now I can't double click on the home button to switch between apps, or to close them. What happened? How can I fix this?

    I can't double click on the home button to switch between apps, or to close them. This happened after I updated to ios 7.1

    Swiping up from the bottom of the screen with four fingers did not bring up the app preview. A single press on the home button still brings me back to the home screen, but a double press of the home button does nothing following updating to 7.1   Given that, when I added a software home button as suggested by DIAVONEX, I found that all of the apps WERE still open! So thank you DIAVONEX, and you should be careful, bobseufert, as your information was inaccurate.( I did try turning it off and that didn't change anything. ) I don't really want a software home button on my screen, but I guess I will use it until either there is another update to resolve this glitch or someone else identifies a quirky setting that I inadvertently activated...

  • Why can't I double-click to minimize all App windows to the Dock in Yosemite?

    I am running the Yosemite 10.10.3 (14D131). I have checked the Dock preference 'Double-click a window's title bar to minimize', but not all App windows will actually minimize to the Dock - why? Apple Apps should behave consistently.
    These apps behave as expected:
    Safari
    Mail
    Terminal
    Preview
    Pages
    Messages
    FaceTime
    App Store
    iBooks
    TextEdit
    Terminal
    These apps DO NOT behave as expected:
    Reminders
    Notes
    Calculator
    iTunes
    Contacts

    Not a feature. In fact, there's no way, using just Illustrator, to extract embedded images. But then, it's only at version THIRTEEN! I save a PDF using no downsampling or compression, then open in Photoshop. When you open a PDF in Photoshop you are given the option to rasterize any pages or extract images embedded in the PDF. Choose Images then select the images you want. Save as TIF or PSD and re-link in Illustrator.
    Yes, it is stupid.

  • I synced my Ipod to itunes now i can only double click the icons on the screen it seems that the swiping feature has been disabled, how do I get it back to normal? I've restored it but nothing has changed

    I synced my Ipod to itunes now I can only double tap the icons on the screen, it seems that the swipeing feature has somehow been disabled, Is there a way i could fix it or get it back to normal?

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may have an accessibility feature called VoiceOver enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to use VoiceOver as well as how to disable it.

  • Songs disappearing when I double click them in itunes.

    Hi,
    I'm using iTunes 8 and have on two occassions been the victim of a rather evil bug. When I double clicked a song it got replaced with a totally different one, it happened for each track on the album I was trying to play. This has happened to me twice so far and both times with a whole album. Has this happened to anyone else? I can't seem to find anything about it on the forums or on google. It's really frustrating.
    Thankful for any help I can get recovering my music.

    That's wierd, and I can't explain it.
    Do you have iTunes set to keep you iTunes Music folder organised in your preferences?
    Also how did you add your album X, was it ripped from a CD with itunes, or added in some other way/purchased from the iTunes store or elsewhere?
    Just to be clear, do you have duplicate copies of the actual music files, or does the library have two entries pointing to the same place?
    Do the files for album Y still exist on your PC or have they been deleted? If so are they in the recycle bin?
    The only thing I can think of is that somehow the library database got corrupted and it misbehaved when you added album X.
