Cannot double click an icon or title bar

i have just noticed since the last os update for snow leopard that when i double click the icon or the title bar nothing happens, whereas before i used to be able to either open a folder or an application, or minimize something with a double click. If anybody has ideas about what is going on, please write. Right now i can only open things up in secondary button mode, in the dock or the menu bar. thanks

This is urgent! What? Replacing an icon is urgent? That's ridiculous.
Can anyone tell me how I can replace Sun's Java Icon?The way you were already told. Only if you aren't going to put the icon in your current working directory, don't write code that assumes the icon is in your current working directory.

  • Add maximumsize icon to title bar in JDialog

    My question is how to add a maximumsize icon to the title bar of JDialog, i want to create a dialog that when user double-click the JDialog's title bar or click the maximumsize icon in the JDialog's title bar the dialog can be displayed as maximum size. it just likes Frame.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Lupeng,
    I can think of 2 approaches, firstly and probably the most easiest is to use a frame to mimic the behaviour of the dialog.
    Secondly, implement your own L&F for dialogs by wrting your own RootPaneUI that uses your own version of TitlePane. The TitlePane class will take care of the buttons and mouse handling. Have a look at BasicRootPaneUI to get a better understanding of the implementation ;)

    Unless you have attempted to downgrade to an older version of iTunes this is likely to be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

    Thank you

    The OP should first learn to develop GUIs and only
    then should you think of developing double-clickable
    jar files. hey, OP asked a question; what's wrong with answering it? And who are you to decide whether s/he is ready to learn about jars?
    That said, double clickable jars and
    everything you need to know about running you Java
    program by clicking on something is well discussed in
    the
    Jar
    thread.Yes, but why pass the buck to them if you can answer it just fine yourself?
    OK so I'm being a bit aggro, the forums are moving really slowly.

    i need to recover all my notes from Ghostwriter. When I double click the icon nothing happens. I am sick to my stomach! Can anyone help me?

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

  • Slow start up after double clicking desktop icon. Firefox 5.0 and 6.0

    When I double click the icon on my desktop it takes 30 40 seconds for Firefox to start. I did this in fire fox 5.0 and 6.0. Firefox 3.6 had no trouble and IE8, Google Chrome and Safari has no trouble. Running win XP with 2 gig ram. 3.06 P 4 cpu on Dell 2400.

    I have these problems, too, and they're making think it's time to give up on Firefox.

  • Cmd-click in finder on title bar opens new window - why?

    This is a feature I used all the time previously, but since I've updated to 10.5.2 it always open a new window when I select a dir further back. Does anybody know how I can make it not open a new window, just navigate in the existing window?

    ..."cmd-click in finder on title bar opens new window"...
    Holding down the cmd key while opening a folder in the "Finder" has caused the folder to open in a new window for quite some time. I can't recall what the behaviour was with respect to the Titlebar in earlier OS X versions, but if it has really changed in 10.5, perhaps it was to make it more consistent with the behaviour of folders in general.
    Are you sure you weren't using ctrl-click in the past?

  • .exe icon an title bar icon

    I have searched the board but couldnt find an answer. I hope someone here can help me. My problem is as such, whenever I create a custom icon for my .exe, the icon for the .exe file remains as the default labview icon but title bar icon for the program changes. How do I make sure that the icon for .exe file changes aswell. I already created a .ico file and i'm running labview 8.5.
    Thanks.

    Your .ico file should also include a 16x16 32 colors icon (or 16 colors, I don't remember) and that will be used for the window title. Personally, I use IcoFX for creating icons, which is free, but I assume that the icon editor in 8.x can allow you to do this as well.
    Try to take over the world!

  • Know why Premiere Elements 3.0 won't start when I double click the icon?

    I have Windows Vista 32 bit.  I have Premiere Elements 3.0 and the 3.0.2 patch.  When I double click the icon, it won't load.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still won't load.  It worked as recently as last week.  I had some virus issues so I took my laptop to Geek squad and they "fixed" the issues.
    I never had this problem with Premiere before.  Anybody know what might be causing it not to start?
    I have been considering an upgrade.  I see that they are up to version 9.  Will version 9 even work on Vista?

    It depends.
    What do you mean by "I never had this problem before"? Do you mean Premiere Elements worked fine until the Geek squad restored your computer?
    Unless they totally wiped your hard drive and reinstalled your operating system, they may have patched but not totally fixed your problem.
    Or it could be that your computer just needs a good cleaning and defragging. Assuming you've got adequate power and a good 30-50 gigabytes of free defragmented space on your C drive.
    But there's a very good chance that, if you've re-installed version 3 and it still won't run, then version 9 won't run either. After all, if you still haven't remedied yoru core problem, a new vehicle isn't likely to make any difference, right?
    Still, there's no harm in trying. Why not download free trial and see?

  • Firefox is not start up when I double click the icon on Mac. So I got nothing

    I don't know that it happens to me. Today I update firefox 3.6.4 Beta3 on the machine that I hope it old problem issue is gone. But I've been got a problem that I've double click a icon on Doc and then it's gone.
    Hope you response a problem !

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I just started using iCal and I cannot double-click to add an event. Did I accidentally change something?

    I just started using iCal and I cannot double-click to add an event. I could when I started a couple of hours ago. Did I change something? Can I change it back?

    Kristacattack,
    The tracing results in separate paths. The straight lines show where the open filled paths start and end.
    In the first sample, you may drag with the Direct Selection Tool over the top where the straight lines meet and Ctrl/Cmd+J to join the the paths; you may do the same elsewhere to create continuous/closed paths (hopefully, you will only drag over the two endpoints, otherwise you will have to find and delete superfluous Anchor Points).
    This may be better than just cheating with the Live Paint Tool because the artwork becomes more coherent.
