Double click does not edit cell

One of my users: double-clicking a cell is expected to place the focus into the cell for editing, but the expected behavior isn't happening. Cursor remains unchanged.
It's not the mouse; I tried a couple. It's not plist, deleted both.
It is something totally simple but what?

Complementary questions :
(1) How is the app behaving if you run it in an other user account ?
(2) Was Mac Os updated to 10.6.2 thru "Applications Update" ?
If it was, it may be a good idea to apply the combo updater available from:

TS3276 Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

Try restarting your Mac.
Open Termimal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)Try entering this command: killall Dock, and then hit enter
Try dragging the Mail icon out of the dock, then let it disappear in a puff of smoke. Then from Applications/Mail try dragging the Mail icon back into the dock, and see if it works.
Does Mail open otherwise? Like if you try opening it from your Applications folder?if it doesn't:
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
if that doesn't work: reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

Magic mouse double click not operating. With iMac 24" and 10.6.8 bluetooth cannot discover the mouse and spins for ever, but mouse was working OK until 2 weeks ago. Now double click does not work, have to go to menu to open messages etc.. A nuisance.

Magic mouse is not discovered by bluethooth software, but it worked OK until 2 weeks ago (10.6.8 and iMac 24). Now the double clik does not open messages, I must go to the file menu to do it. A nuisance. Closing a file takes exactly 2 or 3 seconds! Any idea? Mouse and batteries are OK and checked by retailer. Please help.

Also using iMac 10.6.8
My magic mouse works ok but I am getting the same message from Mouse prefs that no mouse is “discovered” and the progress gear spins forever. For the time being, at least, my mouse functions as expected.
I have trashed mouse prefs and rebooted, but that did not solve the problem.

ICal - can't edit - double-click does NOT open previous event

iCal on Leopard now refuses to open up any previously made entry for editing. The new pop-up edit box is nowhere to be found. This is so frustrating! I double-click to my heart's content, and NOTHING is opened. My life is on iCal!!
Any similar problems out there, and solutions?
Kevin

I am in the same boat. I had to import all of my caldendars of which I have many. Fifteen different calendars for different groups of meetings at work etc. So, I take the time to install them over 40 of them individually. Now, I cannot edit them. Most importantly, I cannot change the Color associated with it. I get the edit window... I click on the calander name associated in the drop down menu.. but no way to access a color choice. The color is how the calendar has visual clarity. Why did they take that away? The ical problems are HUGE and many of us migrated to it from other software calendar programs to the tiger version which was great.
They have lots of bugs to fix this. WHY NOT THE INFO DRAWER?!!! GIVE IT BACK

Double click does not open CR2 in Photoshop CS 6

I just moved Photoshop CS6, Bridge CS6, and Lightroom 4.1 to a new MacBook Pro Retna running Lion 10.7.4
Camera Raw 7.1 is installed.
If I double-click a JPG image in Bridge or Mini-Bridge, it will open in Photoshop.
If I select a JPG image in Lightroom 4.1 and then select "Edit In" Photoshop CS6, I will get the normal dialog box that asks "What to Edit" with the three options. The image then appears in Photoshop.
If I double-click a CR2 (Canon 5D mk III) image in Bridge or Mini-Bridge nothing happens (the image does NOT open in Camera Raw).
If I select a CR2 (same camera) in Lightroom 4.1 Photoshop immediately opens (no "What to Edit" dialog), no image appears in Photoshop and Camera Raw is not launched.
If I select a CR2 (same camera) in the Mac Finder, Photoshop is launched with the image in Camera Raw.
How can I fix the behavior of Lightroom, Bridge, and Mini-bridge?

I also have Photoshop CS6 installed on a Windows 7 x64 laptop. In Windows double-clicking on a CR2 image in either Bridge or mini-Bridge loads the image into Camera Raw.
Edit in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.1 launches Photoshop without the dialog box, the same as on the Mac. The image is displayed directly in Photoshop and does not launch the Camera Raw window.
My guess is that there is an issue with Camera Raw 7.1 or Lightroom 4.1 that is causing this behavior.

Safari, double click does not give new tab option anymore

why has my option when double clicking any item of a page will it not ask me anymore to open in a new tab only asks to open in new window. Just started doing this today

Hi,
Try resetting Safari. From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Might be an Extension causing the problem.
And try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Launch Safari. Try tabs. If it works as it should, then move the .plist file to the Trash.

Double-click does not open Clip Trimmer

iMovie 10.0.5
Double-clicking a clip in the timeline ought to open the clip in the Clip Trimmer. Oddly, I think it once did for me. Only days ago perhaps. Now it just opens the Adjustments Bar. Instead, I must select Window > Show Clip Trimmer or use its shortcut.
How to get a simple double-click to work in this respect?

Double clicking does not open files.

The regular double clicking to open files on desktop, or in e-mail or to play a song in iTunes, does not work. I can get around the problem by going to a scroll down menu and click open or play (a song) but is one more step to get where i need to go. The only thing I used lately that is different is that I used the mouse instead of the trackpad for a day because a small injury in my hands.
I have an iBook G4, 10.5.8
Thank you in advance for your time and attention,
John
PD: The mouse I was trying to use did not work, model M5769. I found the one that came with this computer later that week and worked instantly.

Are we to understand, then, you resolved this issue
by using a different model mouse at the time?
Since I was reading back through older posts to see
if some were left without a reply, I saw this & wonder.
Hopefully you were able to solve this issue and it
would seem as though a different product worked.
I often use a wired USB mouse with my portables.
Almost any brand of mouse including two-button
will work. Fancier ones may require extra software.
Good luck & happy computing!

Double clicking does not work in Yosemite.

I just upgraded OS X snow leopard to Yosemite. Every thing seems to work fine, but i found that the double clicking not working. Every time i have to right click to open any file. If i double click a file then it appears like renaming the file. So please help me out guys...

Thanks for the feedback. But. rather than doing that, you could try moving the com.apple.fibder.plist file from your original user's /Library/Preferences/ folder to the Desktop, OPTION-click and hold the Finder's Dock icon, and select RELAUNCH. That restores a default plist and may fix the problem. If so, delete the moved file and reset the Finder's preferences.

Double click does not work

I used to be able to double-click on cfm files on my computer
(XP pro) or right-click and select "Edit in Homesite+" and they
would open perfectly in Homesite. (I'm running Homesite 5.5.)
Now, for some reason, neither of those work -- when I try
them, Homesite opens, but only shows a blank document (in the edit
tab). The only way I can open files now is to do File--> Open
from within Homesite, or via the Resource Tab i the left side.
Any ideas why??
Thanks,
Tom

I have something similar. Just did a rebuild on my machine
with XP SP2, installed the Macromedia Studio 8 and then the
HomeSite+ 5.5. Dreamweaver was installed first through the initial
studio setup, and HomeSite+ after with a restart.
My problem, I am able to open .js, .css. .cfm files fine, but
when it comes to .htm/.html I cannot open them (through menu or
right-click) locally. On my mapped drives to the multiple servers,
I am able to open them. Some include the XML declaration at the
top, some do not. However, when I open an HTML file locally, it
opens HomeSite+ to a blank page. I even tested it by creating a new
HTML document in HomeSite, writing some HTML layout, and saved it
to my Desktop >> Closed HomeSite+ >> Right-click "Open
With..." HomeSite+ and it comes up blank as a page named
"Untitled1".
I have made sure my extensions for html,htm, cfm are turned
off in Dreamweaver and my HomeSite extensions are exactly how you
have them. Ex:

Should I try a reinstall of HomeSite+ ?

Double-clicking does not bring up any of the Tools options menus

I'm on my first lesson in Illustrator (CS5), never having used any Adobe graphics programs before, and I have somehow lost the ability to double-click and bring up any Tools options menus.For instance, if I double-click the scale tool,nothing happens. This is after I have (I believe) already selected the shape with the selector-arrow-tool and clicked on the shape. Any help for this would be greatly appreciated as I am at a complete standstill.

Hi,
I read your links and made sure everything like the edges and the bounding box were unhid, but that did not solve the problem. I get a plus sign when I select the scaling tool in CS5 and I am supposed to get a menu where I can select a "scale to 50%" option - according to the CS4 book.
I have not yet tried your suggestion #1 of closing down AI and command/option/shift during startup because I am unsure if you mean "startup" AI or "startup" the entire computer.
I'm not sure if you wanted me to reinstall the entire suite, which I don't really want to do. It is my very first day using a brand new CS5 install and my first day ever attempting to do anything on anything, plus I have a brand new computer with lots of capacity.
Is there some kind of difficulty with having other apps open while working in Adobe? If so, that might be it.
Any further advice will be greatly appreciated!

Double click does not bring up my Multitasking bar anymore.

I have the iphone 6 with the software 8.1.1. There are 2 problems I am having with my my home button.
1. When I soft click the button twice the screen does not shift down half way anymore.
2. When I hard click the home button twice my multi-tasking bar does not come up.
This did not just happen after I updated but only in the last couple days.
Is there something I can do?

Double Clicking does not work

Hello, I am trying to help a friend out here with her mac, for some reason when she double clicks on a file or anything including the hard drive icon it will not open. I have never seen this before. What could it possibly be? any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Nathan II, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
