Double-click intermittently accepted in Finder and most apps
since upgrading to Lion, I've experienced intermittent (though frequent) problems with double-clicking being accepted (e.g. to launch an app, open a folder, or to select a word in an application - basically it takes quadruple-click, or more). The first time I solved the problem with suggestions from this community that the Spotify app caused the problem.
I haven't used Spotify since; and have incidentally doubled the RAM in my iMac to 8GB. But the double-click problem seems to be migrating back.
Are there any other known or suspected third-party apps? I use MagicPrefs with my MagicMouse, for example. Or is this a known problem? I've also noticed that the Mouse preferences for MagicMouse no longer include a setting for double-click speed...
I agree. Send Apple Feedback here.
The more who send feedback the more likely it will get done.

Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.
Hi Karen,
Sounds like OS X has lost the association between Pages and its files.
Start by quitting Pages, then going to Finder.
In Finder, locate a .pages file. Click on it (once), then press command-I (eye, not one) to Get Info.
In the Info window that opens, expand the Open With section.
In this section, click on the pop-up menu and choose Pages (even if Pages is already shown).
Click the Change All button to associate all files with the .pages extension with Pages.
Close the info window.
Double click any .pages file to check that Pages will now launch and open the file.

I was using IPhoto looking at creating a Book when I uploaded the book for purchasing the site froze. I stopped the upload turned off computer and when I restarted the computer IPhoto dissappeared. I called Apple and the lady talked me through restoring IPhoto. She found it in the trash.It worked fine for a day or two, I uploaded more photos from Nikon camera closed IPhoto and now it won't open. The App Store trys to open it but it times out and won't connect.
When I double click on IPhoto to open and look at my photos the APP store trys to open it. I never had this issue before. What do I do?Try dragging a photo to the desk top, highlight it and press COMMAND I this will open the info window, in the drop down menu "open with" select either preview, or other, then select iPhoto. Preview is the default.
Then click "Change All"
Hope this helps -

Good morning to all,
I've an Iphone 4 since 2011 and yesterday I downloaded the iOS 7 software. Now I miss the function where you double click on the home button and then you keep the icon pressed until the forbidden sign appears to close the app definetly. Somebody knows how to do it now with iOS 7?
Thanks a lot in advance and have a great day, Giovanni.
Buongiorno a tutti. Io ho un Iphone 4 del 2011 e per momento funzione che è una meraviglia. Ieri l'ho aggiornato ad iOS 7 e ho subito notato che non esiste più la funzione doppio clic su Home per poi chiudere del tutto i programmi utilizati prima. Per me era diventato proprio un'abbitudine di chiudere le applicazioni subito dopo l'uso per risparmiare anche batteria oltre a non consumare traffico internet. Qualcuno sa come si fa con iOS 7? Grazie mille, Giovanni.double click the home button and in the open apps preview(above the app icon), swipe it upwards to close

LR 5.5 double-click behavior on WB sliders (and other sliders in Basic tab)
i recently upgraded to LR 5.5 from 5.4.
sometimes i check the auto-WB recommendation by using the ability to Shift + double-click on a WB slider (in Dev. Module). (this feature was introduced in LR 5, i believe, maybe LR 4.)
before the upgrade, whether the WB sliders were already at a custom setting or still on the "as-shot" setting, you could Shift + double-click on either the Temp or Tint slider and get the "auto" recommendation. Then, you could undo and redo, toggling back and forth between the auto setting and whatever you had before that.
now, however, when i Shift + double-click, before the slider registers the double-click and produces the auto setting, it responds to the first part of the double-click. that means that FIRST it moves the slider a little one way or the other, and THEN goes to the auto setting.
this behavior makes it impossible to toggle back and forth between the auto setting and whatever it was before that. instead, it now toggles between auto and that little adjustment that was registered in the first part of the double-click.
for example:
the Temp slider is set to a custom value of 5200 on a certain photo.
i'm curious what is the auto recommendation, so i Shift + double-click on the slider.
the slider registers the first part of my double-click, moving for an instant to 5384, before understanding that i actually double-clicked and producing the auto setting.
this is annoying in any case, but it's a problem because now when i undo and redo to toggle between my custom setting (5200) and the auto recommendation, it's instead toggling between the auto and 5384. (or whatever value happened to register in the first part of the double-click.)
this changed behavior also affects the other sliders in the Basic tab where you can Shift + double-click to check an auto value. personally, i never use this feature on the other sliders, but i do use it quite a bit on the WB sliders as a step in arriving at my custom WB.
also, i just noticed that it also happens sometimes on black-and-white images, when adjusting the Black and White Mix sliders. (these sliders can also revert to their auto value if you adjust one and then Shift + double-click. this is beneficial for when you don't want to return the whole group of sliders to auto mix.
note:
i do not adjust the sliders by dragging. instead, i mouse over a slider, and use up or down arrow keys to adjust in regular increments (or Shift + arrow key for a larger increment). i find this is a much better way to work for a number of reasons, and especially with large numbers of images. if i want to make a finer adjustment, i just click in the value field of a slider and use arrow keys to go in single-unit increments. (or use Option + arrow key for a smaller-than-default increment.)
For color Temp, camera settings already use 50-degree increments (5600, 5650, 5700, etc.), so they appear in LR with those kinds of rounded numbers, never 5611 or whatever. using the arrow keys to adjust color temp also goes in 50-degree increments, and using Shift+arrow key goes in 200-degree increments. For Tint, however, the camera does use single-unit increments, like 7 or 11. the arrow key method of adjusting Tint goes in increments of 5 or 20, which for Tint is usually too broad of an adjustment.
sorry for the long post. anyone else having this problem? as someone who does a lot of toggling back-and-forth to compare things, i find this fairly small change in behavior incredibly disruptive.
my system:
late 2013, 15-inch rMBP; 2.3 GHz i7; 500gb SSD; 16gb RAM
OS 10.9.2 (not yet on 10.9.3 as there seem to be problems)
no Adobe CC items.bob,
you are correct—what you said does work.
{for the sake of clarity and consistency, when i say double-click on the "slider", i mean on the value-marker, the triangular point that actually moves (or what ssprengel is calling the "slider-thumb/handle" if i'm understanding him correctly)—not the range on which it moves, nor the label to the left side of the range.}
but have i gone crazy?? has the behavior not changed at all?? i could have sworn that in the past, i was double-clicking (with or w/o shift key) on the value-marker of the slider, instead of on the label as you mention (although that instruction does sound familiar now, too). this is not a rare action for me, but something i've done countless times on the WB sliders, and also on the Black and White Mix sliders to return them to their auto value.
actually—now that i think about it, i do this action a ton on the HSL sliders, also: use the arrow keys (or Shift+arrow) to adjust HSL values, which go in increments of 5 (arrow) or 20 (shift+arrow). sometimes to return to zero i use the arrow keys again, but sometimes just double-click on the slider.
Or, if i want to see a very large, imprecise adjustment, i don't use the arrow keys but just click once towards the extemes of the range: +83 or -100 or whatever. and then to return to zero, i just double-click on that same spot—meaning on the slider/value-marker, wherever it happened to land on my first click.
however, in the last couple major releases (LR4 and now LR5), i've noticed that feature doesn't work quite as well as it used to. it used to be very easy to click once, get an extreme value, then very soon afterwards double-click and return to zero. you could do it easily, without even looking carefully at the sliders (so you could look instead at the picture changing). now, however, i find that i usually have to double-click two or three times before the slider responds and goes back to zero. sometimes i have to reposition the mouse very slightly and double-click again for that action to happen (and not because my mouse strayed from the slider).
i have noticed this to be true across many changing conditions:
major releases and smaller updates of LR;
different OS (10.6.8 snow leopard through 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 mavericks);
different machines: 2007 MBP and late 2013 rMBP;
even different mice: used to have an old Kensington mouse; now using Logitech G500s, a fairly high-end gaming mouse (even though i don't do any gaming).
when i first noticed this less-responsive behavior, i thought it was due to my mouse and/or computer being old, maybe outdated. the kensington mouseworks software didn't really work, even on the older 2007 MBP. so i chalked it up to mouse issues. but it's exactly the same with my new, much more sophisticated mouse, whose software does work on my late 2013 rMBP.
(and now, with LR5.5, there's the issue i mentioned originally, where the first part of the double-click records a value shift before LR realizes i was actually double-clicking.)
why am i bothering to say all this??
first, it's an additional problem, but similar to what i originally posted about. second, it offers (at least some) support for my original idea—that in the past, i was, in fact, double-clicking on the slider itself, not on the label, to get auto or as-shot values.
does anyone else have any thoughts on this? am i the only one who "remembers" double-clicking on the slider, not the label, to get the auto or as-shot WB, or reset HSL sliders, or return to auto values of individual sliders in Black and White Mix? -
My screen refuses to rotate (the home screen). I already double clicked home button and scrolled over, the circle arrow does NOT have the lock inside it. I went thru all the settings and can find nothing to try and fix this. Do I need to send the phone back? Is it broken? I just got it yesterday. It has not been damaged in any way. Please help.

While browsing the Web with Firefox, I often want to view an htm (or html etc) file that is recorded on my computer, by double-clicking it in my Windows Explorer, hoping it will open automatically a new tab.
When I try this now, I get the error message "Firefox is already running (etc)" .
In my current setup, Firefox is associated with the htm and html file name extensions.
If, instead of double-clicking the filename in the Explorer, I choose the Firefox menu item "Open a file", this works OK.
In old versions of Firefox, double-clicking a filename in the Windows Explorer or File Manager caused Firefox to open a new window every time which was ok.
I have the same problem with Thunderbird, which I have associated with the "eml" file name extension. How can I view a series of recorded ".eml" files with Thunderbird when Thunderbird is already running ? Thank you.The target field of the desktop shortcut is "D:\C_Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" (no switch)

I just got an ipad 2 and i cant swipe the screen. the voice over the ipad is telling everything i try and touch and it wants me to double tap eveything. what do i do?
Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064 -
Double-clicking topic checks it out and does not open
Hi all,
I'm experiencing a strange, vexing problem with both of our source-controlled help projects that no one else on my team is experiencing. This appears to be a problem with my computer/installation of RoboHelp.
Today, I went into our help projects for the first time in a couple of days, and when I double-clicked any topic, it automatically checked it out of VSS but did not open it. It also checked out the CSS file, template (master page) file, and any graphic files associated with the topic.
Normally, when I double-click a topic, the topic opens, and it only checks it out of VSS if I start typing in the topic. It does not check out the CSS, master page file, or graphic files unless I make changes to those files.
Like I said, no one else is experiencing this problem. We all have the same system versions (see below). It appears to be only me, and it's happening with both of our help projects. To my knowledge, I did not do anything to my computer or its application settings to cause this. Has anyone experienced a problem like this? If so, what can I do to fix it? Any other ideas?
My system information:
RoboHelp HTML version 8.0.2.208
Output type: WebHelp
Source control: Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 8.0.50727.42
Thank you in advance for any assistance,
LisaHi Lisa
That actually makes total logical sense to me. Here's why.
Each PC running the Microsoft Windows operating system has a database we all know as the Registry. Inside that registry are entries that govern the behavior of Windows. Consider the Registry to be similar to DNA. The DNA is different for every human, right? The same really holds true with Windows. Some might argue that this cannot be, because if you had the same setup it would be the same. But each copy of Windows has a different user and more specifically, a different serial number.
Okay, in this registry database is an area known as file associations. So Windows keeps track of which applications should open when files are double-clicked.
RoboHelp has a similar feature that is governed from the dialog you were in. But it also works in concert with Windows. So who really knows why sometimes it does the things it does. I understand that RoboHelp determines the editor by meta tags found in the HTML of the topics.
I do know that as part of any RoboHelp training class I facilitate, I regularly lead folks to this area and configure to the "Use Default" as an early step. I do this because if you import a Word document into the project and you leave Auto-select enabled, Word opens when you attempt to double click topics in the RoboHelp editor.
Happy to have been of some small help... Rick

Problem started yesterday (9/28). While in Firefox, bookmarks stopped working. Closed out FF and tried to reopen the program, and nothing causes FF to launch. Tried double clicking on the desktop icon, single click on the bottom status bar (on XP), right click on icon to open or run, trying via Start -> All Programs -> Mozilla and neither regular or safe mode would launch. Only thing that seems to fix the problem is a full restart of the computer. Tried downloading the newest version via Chrome. When I clicked to run the install, kept getting a message to close all FF windows, even though there were no FF windows open.
Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.
