Double click not working on Mountain Lion

I have a 15-inch, Late 2011 MacBook Pro. OS 10.8.1. Few days ago, the double click (only the double click) stopped working. I have to tap REALLY HARD the trackpad to double click. How the soft tap double click again? I looked into the system preferences in trackpad, but theres no option for double clicking. Thank you.

You can type Command-Shift-G and type in ~/Library/Preferences
I had some challenges deleting everything here while logged in, so you'll have to do this from another Admin account. 
I suggest just doing a clean install if you have the time.  That solved all my problems and reduced my boot time as well.

  • Trackpad click not working after Mountain Lion update

    I updated computer in question, a 2009 MacBook, to Mountain Lion today, and it appeared to work.  It installed, then I was prompted with a log-in screen. I entered my Apple ID and password, but was unable to click go. Easily hit enter instead; this worked.  The next screen, however is a Terms and Conditions one with only the options of "Back" and "Next." I cannot click on either of these.  The mouse moves around perfectly when I use the track pad, but I am unable to choose anything by clicking and therefore cannot get past this screen and to my computer. Any help?? Thank you!

    According to the Dymo Technical Support page for that model:

  • CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

    CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
    Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
    When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    "Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
    Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
    I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??

    Dashcode is not working in Mountain Lion. I tried updating to Xcode 4.4 and it still did not work . . .
    I use dashcode for most of my coding needs, so it is very important to me!

    I have the same problem too. dashcode shows up in the finder but its just a question mark (see screenshot). Anyone found a way to address this?

  • Remote desktop not working on mountain lion

    My ARD does not work on Mountain Lion. The software opens but all I get is the menu at the top, and my only working option is to quit. I spoke to Apple support and they suggest (as they usually do) to reinstall the whole operating system, but I can't accept this as a valid answer as everything else works. There must be a way to fix this without having to reinstall a machine that came originally with Mountain Lion!

    I was able to fix my issue by just uninstalling ARD (I used AppZapper) - and just reinstalling it - no "Archive & Install" required - best of luck with your situation!

  • HT1338 preview does not work with mountain lion

    I updated my mid 2011 mac mini to mountian lion and i find Preview and all of MS Office 2011 for MAC fails to work
    I can cut and paset the logs, but lets astart with assessing whagt does not work with Mountain Lion.

    Your profile lists a 2008 MacBook with Snow Leopard.
    I installed Windows XP into Bootcamp on my 2009 MacBook Pro (either in Leopard or Snow Leopard, I do not remember which) and I used it with Parallels 6.
    When I upgraded it to Lion, even though the Lion Bootcamp will NOT install Windows XP, my Bootcamp (and use by Parallels 7) survived the upgrade.
    It may be possible that it will also survive and operate a future upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • Why double click not working ?

    if the system have wizip/winrar installed...does it block to run executable jar whence they are doble-clicked ?
    because when i doble-click on the executable jar file....it opens up in the winrar...it displays all the directory structure in the jar file.....but it never executes.
    i have a jar in c:\
    and i can run this way....
    C:\>java -jar psae.jar Philip
    Hello World Philip
    why double click not working ?

    This is because winzip or winrar has taken over the
    Windows association with files of type .jar.
    Assuming XP.YES.....its windows XP.
    Click on the tools menu in any explorer window,
    select "folder options" and choose the "file type"
    tab. i tried that also earlier....anyway, here again one more time
    please look at
    http://img107.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nojar7ah.jpg
    There is NO .JAR file association i find in that list.
    you need to change the associaton of 'jar' to
    "Opens with Java"

  • Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation

    The Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation.
    Opening the dictation system preference panel makes the system preferences crash...
    The mic of that camera is the only mic I have.
    I own a Mac Pro and an old Cinema Display which has no built-in cam/mic.
    Anyone having the same issue?
    I hope this is gonna be fixed with 10.8.1.

    Hello, thank you for responding.
    Unplug and plug in back the camera does not solve this problem. I tried that before.
    But what worked was to start photo booth. Don't really know why.
    So after every restart of the mac I have to start photo booth and dictation with the QuickCam is working. ^^

  • Why does snaps pro not work with mountain lion?

    I spent a lot money purchasing the pro addition only to be told that it won't work with mountain lion due to Apple's written something into the code that does not permit me to make videos with it. I even tried ot make a video of Indesign acting up so i could send it to Adobe support and it wouldn't allow me to. Is this the resaon it suddenly doesn't work anymore? Are there plans to fix mountian lion to allow me to use my software? Alternatively,, does Apple have something that does screen captures of videos?

    this is the repsonse form Ambrosia: (Not sure I understand it)
    As far as Snapz Pro X 2 functionality, some major backend Digital Rights Management changes enacted by Apple may be what is preventing you from recording movies you were previously able to record using our software. Basically, our program can no longer access videos before the DRM protections are enabled, unfortunately we have no control over these changes. Please see the following FAQ:http://www.ambrosiasw.com/support/faqs/products/snapz-pro-x /Why-does-the-content-of-my-capture-display-as-a-checkerboard
    BTW I am current on the latgest version.
    Does anybody know how to work around my problem? I need to be able to record videos on my computer.

    please help!!

    Hi
    First, you are going to need v9.1.7 or later with Mountain Lion (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5421)
    Second
    To get the updaters to work several things MUST be correct:
    The Logic Application must be named "Logic Pro" or "Logic Express" (depending on which type you are working with) with NO Additional spaces or numbers in the name.
    The application must be at the root level of the Applications folder (and NOT anywhere else).
