Delay to release after double tap dragging

Im experiencing an annoying delay after double tapping and dragging or scrolling. I disabled the lock feature where you have to tap once to release the lock but it still remains locked for a short period after I double tap and drag or scroll. For example if i double tap and drag a window then remove my finger from the pad, I have to wait a second before touching the pad again otherwise it will drag the window again. Any way around this ?

Let me know if you solve this - it's really annoying. I'd like to decide for myself when I've let go!

No camera shortcut button on lockscreen after double tapping home button

Even after double tapping home button on lock screen I get no camera shortcut, just Itunes controls. I have closed all applications and restarted Ipad and still wont show up. Pleeeeease Help very frustrating

You need to double click the home button. Have you tried that? The camera button does not appear by default. It pops up after the double click.
Hope this helps.

Dragging with 3 fingers is horrid. What happened to double tap & drag?

With the previos OS version I could swipe with 3 fingers to go back and forth on pages and applications and the finder, then if I want to drag something I could just double tap with one finger and drag an item. Easy and simple.
With Mountain Lion, only way to drag with the trackpad is to hold down the physical trackpad button and drag which is kind of a pain to do, especially since my button on my 2010 Mackbook Pro doesn't seem to work as well as it should...or use 3 fingers to drag which doesn't give you as much room to navigate on the trackpad as with one finger. The main problem with doing this is that I can't go back and forth on apps/finder/etc with the 3 finger swipe because if I turn on 3 finger drag it turns that option off. So I'm stuck without going back and forth by swiping in apps which I always used and stuck with a more unfriendly 3 finger drag.
What happened to the double tap and drag? It made things so much easier. Or am I missing an option for that somewhere? Why on earth would apple remove something like that? It's a feature I expect to use both on Mac and Windows.

Thanks so much to jeffyg3, I finally found the answer to this!
System Preferences>Accessibility>Mouse & Trackpad>Trackpad Options.
Enable dragging ON: choose from menu "without drag lock".

How do I clear apps after double-tapping the home button?

This is in relation to iOS 7.

I found the answer here: http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/completely-close-out-running-applications-ipho ne-ios-7-save-battery-0147375/
you still double tap the home button. There is a preview screen above the programs icon. swipe up, and the app is removed.

UIScrollView get lock after double tap

Hi ,
I am having some issue with UIScrollView or its derived class .
in my application I have a UITableView were the UITableCell contains UIImageView
this image implement the message for touchBegin:: so they can do stuff . so far so good I am happy
the problem is that a lot of trim when the touchBegin event is finish my Table ( UIScrollView ) is not responding to scroll anymore , sometime with some random click I can unLock it but not always .
in an other view I use the UIScrollView directly and there the same , single or double tap just lock the view for no clear reason .
am I missing something , I found some other post about similar problem , but this is really really anoying , so I am surprise that I can see more chatter .
I can reproduce the same with one of the sample provided .
anyone with a tip ? a work around the problem would do just fine
thanks

I have had similar issues while trying to get a ScrollView with buttons working. The ScrollView did not react to swipe gestures that start on a button. A UIControl gets the events a ScrollView needs for scrolling. A UIResponder object with userInteractionEnabled set to YES might be treated the same way.
To get scrolling working I had to do the folowing:
- Subclass the UIScrollView and implement hitTest (with pointInside) to always return self as the first responder.
- In the same subclass implement touchesShouldCancelInContentView to always return YES.
- Set the canCancelContentTouches propery to YES to make the ScrollView actually test if touches Should Cancel In ContentView.
I have no touchesBegan, touchesMoved or any other event handling code in the ScrollView subclass. The ScrollView itself takes care of that.
The documentation on canCancelContentTouches is an 'if ... and ... if ... then ... and ... else if ... then ..' construction. I needed the comments in the ScrollView headerfile to get a better impression about what is going on between ScrollViews and the UIResponders within.
I hope this will help you out.

Get the letter "B" after double tapping the space bar.

How do I stop the B? It's either hit or miss. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

VibrantRedGT wrote:
I wish it were that. Many times when I erase the B it comes back when hitting the space bar only once. The B is not really close to where I press the space bar either.
Then try the usual things:
1. Restart your phone.
2. Reset the settings (Settings > General > Reset).
3. Restore to factory settings.
If after step #3 you're still having problems contact Apple support and make an appointment at your nearby Apple Store to have it checked out.
If you have the problem with another device then I'm betting the problem is on the user-side and not the phone-side.

I have an Ipod touch and the screen stop rotating even after double tapping home and sliding left to right

I have restart, restored, and it still didn't fix the problem

If you are still having this problem after restoring to factory settings/new iPod (you did not say what restore you did) that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Dragging/highlight text double tap lag/delay?

Hi I am dual booting MBA.
Under the bootcamp 3.1 (now on 3.2) mouse control panel, i have allowed "dragging" to simulate mouse movements as per PC laptop.
This feature is usefull as it allows me to double tap and the re-position a screen, or double tap and select a area of text.
However I find that after i double tap, there is a lag/delay between the tap and being able to select the text/reposition the screen.
Is there anyway to fix this issue? I was on 3.1 and now upgraded to 3.2 and issue is present in both versions.
thanks
kevin

so no one else have this problem? maybe just my computer?

Double-click, drag, release

I'm having a problem with my track pad when I double-click, drag, and then release, there is a slight delay before my curser is released. Consequently, I'm forever re-dragging things unintentionally. There does not seem to be a setting where I can shorten the release time to zero. I can solve the problem by using the track pad button, but I don't want to do that. Help!
Nepean

OOOOH! You mean tapping, not clicking. Yes, there is a slight delay. You might want to open up the keyboard & mouse control panel and then select the option under dragging - the tap to release option. I found it more comfortable to use than just letting up off the trackpad.

Unable to Double Tap with TrackPad or B/T Mouse after 10.8.2 upgrade

Hello:
Could some kind person possibly help a Mac newb?
For some strange reason, I am unable to Double Tap using *either* my TrackPad or Bluetooth Mouse immediately after upgrading my Mid 2011 iMac from OS X 10.6.8 to 10.8.2. Single tapping on any file highlights the file name and double tapping the file name (not the icon) allows renaming the file (which I believe is all normal). All other gestures appear to function normally - just can't double-tap TrackPad or double-click the Mouse.
ALREADY TRIED:
Shutting down and removing all power cords and cables to the computer.
Removing the batteries from TrackPad & Mouse.
Creating a new user account.
Reinstalling OS X 10.8.2 including updates 3 times.
Booting into Safe Mode then running Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions and Repair Disk.
Running Capture_Data.dmg and sending the files to Apple Support.
Apple Senior Advisor said that their Software Engineer did not notice anything out of the ordinary, but is now digging deeper.
Deleted com.apple.Bluetooth.plist & com.apple.PowerManagement.plist per Apple.
Cleared browser cache & history, then emptied trash.
I am currently working with a Senior Advisor at Apple since 02.01.2013 (10 days) to follow-up on the same issue as a previous case opened on 01.14.2013 after upgrading the OS X on 01.12.2013. Apple originally suggested that I take my iMac to the Apple Store for diagnostic testing, which I have avoided because everything was working fine before the upgrade and then I noticed the same issue with the my mouse. I decided to hold off wiping the system clean, doing a clean install then migrating my data and settings from the backup until my Apple Advisor tells me if their Software Engineer discovers anything else after they dig a little deeper into the diagnostic report. But that could take weeks and right clicking to open files is getting old real fast. Besides, my Adobe CS6 apps rely heavily (if not entirely) on double & triple clicks, so I am paralyzed from using any of their products.
Since Apple said they have no reported cases like this, I have done a lot of digging on my own before writing this. Sorry about the long post, but I was hoping to provide as much detail as possible to be respectful of everyones valuable time. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Doug Klimek

Problem Solved in less than 5 minutes - Thank you Travis @ AppleCare!
SOLUTION:
Set the Mouse & Trackpad Double-Click speed to any value other than "Fast". The slider bar has 10 settings (1=Slow to 10=Fast) so I set mine to 9 and it works fine. But your system may respond differently, so you might want to start with #5 (Middle) and go from there. FWIW, the #10 setting (Fast) does work, however I had to use one finger on each hand because I couldn't tap fast enough with only one hand.
HERE'S WHAT TO DO:
Click the Apple Logo > System Preferences > System > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad > Double-click speed > Drag slider to the #5 setting (Middle of bar) then tweak to your liking
FYI ONLY:
FWIW, I had no Double-Click problems when setting the Mouse & Trackpad Tracking to #10 (Fast) as long as the Double-Click speed (above) was set to any value other than #10 (Fast). I am only mentioning this to share what I learned.
Click the Apple Logo > System Preferences > Hardware > Mouse > Point & Click > Tracking > Drag slider bar to your liking
Click the Apple Logo > System Preferences > Hardware > Trackpad > Point & Click > Tracking Speed > Drag slider bar to your liking
Hope this information is helpful to anyone before consider wiping their disk clean and doing a fresh M/L reinstall like i almost did.

Double tap and drag isn't working on touchpad

Hey everyone! First time posting here so apologies if my post sucks! :P
Normally on a touchpad, you can double tap, hold your finger down on the second tap, and move the finger around to drag windows and highlight text. This doesn't seem to work on my touchpad.
Instead, what seems to be happening is when I tap once, at the point when I release the touchpad the pointer changes its icon to the dragging icon (The one that looks like a hand grabbing something). However, regular double tapping works fine e.g. when I want to maximize a window or select a paragraph of text.
Some information about my setup:
I'm running arch on a Dell Chromebook 11
I'm using CInnamon DE.
It seems that the settings in the Cinnamon config override the settings in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/<touchpad settings.conf>.
Case in point, I add the following lines into my config:
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
and disable the "Tap to click" option using Cinnamon's GUI settings tool. If I do this, tapping does not register as a click.
I have tried the following:
Set the TapAndDragGesture boolean to true. This doesn't seem to help.
Disable tap to click in Cinnamon's settings, thinking that perhaps the touchpad was recognizing a single tap as two taps.
Messed around with the MaxTapTime and MaxDoubleTapTime settings.
I can't seem to pinpoint the problem... is there some settings I am overlooking?

Here check this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics.
It says the following.
$ synclient PalmDetect=1 (to enable palm detection)
$ synclient TapButton1=1 (configure button events)
$ synclient TouchpadOff=1 (disable the touchpad)

Can't Drag and Drop with a Double Tap using Single Finger in Lion?

I installed the Mac OS X Lion two days. But I can't drag and drop with a Double tap using Single Finger, which I used to do in Snow Leopard.
If I choose Three Finger Move, then Swap Between Pages goes back to "Scroll left or right with Two Fingers" that only works with Safari, but doesn't work with Chrome or Firefox.
I tried literally every setting in Trackpad and also checked if there was a override settings and there is no overrride setting.
Would be thankful, if you guys could suggest me what to do?
======================================
My Machine Configuration:
Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2010)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
4GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 320m
Mac OS X Lion (Installe on a updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

Hey Serge many thanks for telling me how to do. now its working like previously
I just cheked the Dragging under Trackpad option and unchecked Three Finger Moves. now I can drag and drop with a double tap using single finger.
Thank you guys. You are the best

Embedded swf in director on touch screen - double tap required

There is a known problem with swf's with nested mc's embedded in a director projector when used on a touchscreen (with dragmode enabled)
I've found many threads referring to the problem (here's some), but none of the solutions suit my particular situation.
http://www.directorforum.de/threads/54055-Flash-within-touchscreen
http://www.directorforum.de/threads/52818-Mouse-events-for-Flash-Object-in-Director-on-tou chscreen
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/159381?tstart=0
Basically, the problem is that flash requires a mouseRollOver event to give the focus to the mc, before it registers an onPress. With a touchscreen, where the cursor is disabled, the first click and release on the swf (or nested mc's) reads as an onRollOver event, and the user must click again to register an onPress and onRelease. This leads to very confusing behaviours in my application where I have dots (embedded mc's) being created when an image is touched, then the dots can be clicked and dragged, or double tapped to be removed.
All works fine when the mouse and cursor is used, but I can't get it to work using a single tap on the touchscreen. In some cases I can get away with using onRollOver but when used with startDrag I can't think of a way of stopping the drag when the user lifts their finger. (which doesn't register as an event)
What I need is an AS2 script that forces a click event (onPress) when the user taps the button once. Unfortunately I only know AS2 so can't use mouseEvents from AS3. I've spent days on this (after I thought I'd got all the bugs out) and have run out of ideas. Any suggestions appreciated please

Managed to get around it along the lines of: this[my_name].onRollOver = function()
pressAction(my_name);
}; this[my_name].onPress = function()
pressAction(my_name);
}; where pressAction() starts the drag and sets dotName and a flag to record if its using the rollover or press.
then on the base movieclip... this.onMouseUp = function()
this[dotName].stopDrag();
};
