What exactly are you double-clicking?
Once software is installed on your computer, you can usually launch by clicking the icon on your computer's desktop. Or by looking inside Start > Programs (Win) or Applications Folder (Mac).

I have iTunes 11.0.1 and no matter what I do I cannot get it to open any extra windows. Double clicking does Nothing. Help Pleez.

I certainly agree. You can comment to Apple on the matter via their feedback page, if you wish:

Perhaps if enough of us request it, they'll put that feature back.

Mavericks Finder - how default to "double click opens new window"?

I am old and set in my ways. I like having the Finder open a new window when I double click a folder. Since 1984 I've arranged Finder windows in positions and sizes that suit me and I have never seen any reason to change.
In Mavericks however there does not seem to be a way to default to, "double click opens new Finder window". My choices under Finder preferences are, open in the same window; or open in a tab. I don't care for either.
Does anyone know of a way to restore the traditional Finder behavior in Mavericks? Thanks in advance.

There is a great deal of logic behind this change actually
And youll find me the LAST PERSON to complain about Mavericks really,......
not ONLY is it FREE,.......its made my new Air just blazing fast
My boot time now is 8 SECONDS (my goodness)
Switching APPS is ultra-fast.........even on my Air, Photoshop opens up LIGHTNING FAST,.....just mind numbingly FAST!
Thank You to Apple, MAVERICKS IS AWESOME!!!! I REALLY LOVE IT!!!

iPhoto library missing. Tried "other library", found iPhoto library, clicked open, nothing happened.

Restore your backup - obviously no one here has any idea where anything on your computer is located - by default the iPhoto library is int he pictures folder
You can see all available iPhoto libnraries by depressing and holding the option key and launching iPhoto - the select library window will show all available libraries

Unable To Double Click Open Folders On Desktop!

I am running a G4 450 mhz with 1GB Ram OS 10.4.11. Recently I have not been able to double click open folders or launch applications from the desktop. The cursor also seems very jerky. I can open with a Command O or using Open from the Menu bar. I have zapped the pRam, Reset Open Firmware, Repaired Prefs with no luck. I would prefer not to do an archive and install if I do not have to, as I understand that sometimes files and apps get messed up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, if i have to do an archive and install I have another problem. i am unable to boot from my 10.4 CD as the CD/DVD drive kicks it out. I have tried the disk on other computers with no problem. Other OS boot from this drive so I do not think it is the drive or the disk. I could boot off of a external hd disk set as my startup disk but Apple tells me that it I do this and try to mount the 10.4 disk on the desktop and do a archive and install from there it will not work, only if I boot off of the disk holding down the C key at startup. I am lost. Can anyone help!!!

Hi Hoshwa, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Do you have another Mouse to try?
I have tried the disk on other computers with no problem.
If you do need to A&I, you can use another Mac with Firewire as an expensive DVD drive...
If you have another Mac with Firewire & a FW cable, put the Install Disc in the other Mac, boot the Other Mac into Target mode...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Boot the G4 with the Option key held down, see if the Install Disc in the other Mac shows up as a boot choice.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Configuring KDE (aterm transparency/double-click opening)

I had fluxbox working and setup so aterm was pinned and transparent to look like it's part of the desktop. I recently decided to try out kde and wanted to do the same thing, but it opens with a black background instead of transparent. I can set it to other colors though. I was curious if anyone else has experienced this and knew how to solve it.
I'd be open to using other terminals, though I haven't been quite been satisifed with other ones I've tried. Konsole and Eterm almost work. Konsole leaves a small white line around the outline, even when I used the KDE menu to configure it to have no window border, that just removes the window decorations. Eterm also leaves a grey menu on top, which I'd prefer not to have, but didn't see an option to turn this off, though I'll admit I haven't looked too hard. I did get gnome-terminal to look the way I want, but it seems like running that probably loads more than I'd really like it to if I'm running KDE.
Also while I'm posting, I thought I'd ask a probably simple question. I want to change the setting so double-clicking opens directories instead of single clicking. I remember from when I tested out knoppix when I first started there was an obvious place, but I can't seem to find it in the new version. There was a wizard when I first started KDE that let me choose, but I deleted it from the menu, and now can't seem to find it again.

You didn't mention your previous method so I'm not sure how to try and duplicate your issue. I've never desired to eliminate the borders, but something like this should get you transparency (just advance the trailing number to increase transparency):
$ aterm -tr -sh 70

Edit original (alt + double click) opens in an old version of CS

I have been using the alt + double click to open Illustrator files that I have placed in my InDesign document for months with no problems. When I alt + double click the placed image, it has always opened up in the latest version of Illustrator - CS5.5. However, starting about two days ago, it now attempts to open the file in an older version - CS 5.0. I am sure that the Illustrator files and the InDesign document were both created with the latest version of CS.
Is there any way to set the preference for the alt+double click to target the latest version again?
Thanks,
Paul

Eugene,
You and Bob are correct. There is no CS5.5 (for Illustrator). I sincerely apologize for inflating my latest Illustrator version by 0.4 points. I purchased the "CS5.5 master suite upgrade" and when I look in the CS 5.5 folder I see Illustrator CS5.1. Illustrator 5.5 or 5.1 - either way, I'm referring to the latest version of the software.
I'm not "worrying" about anything. All I wanted was a possible solution that would allow me to once again use the alt+double click to open and edit my Illustrator files in my latest version of Illustrator, not the previous version. Given that I have deactived the previous version, it makes it difficult to edit the file when it asks me to install CS5 again. Even if I hadn't deactivated it, I still would prefer to have the file open in the latest version, considering it had been doing that for the past two months before it suddenly stopped. I'm sorry that I was rude. It's just that "You are worrying about nothing" really isn't something that I can change in my preference setting to enable the alt+double click to work again.

Tree component - center vertically? double-click open?

When I open nodes of the tree near the bottom, the new branches open down out of sight. Is there some way to make the tree bring a clicked node to the vertical center of the window?
Also, is there a way to make nodes open and close by double-clicking?
Thanks

Double-click:
    <Tree id="tree"
             doubleClickEnabled="true"
             doubleClick="onDoubleClick(event)"
         ... />
            private function onDoubleClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
                if (!tree.selectedItem) return;
                tree.expandItem(tree.selectedItem, !tree.isItemOpen(tree.selectedItem));

Mouse can't double-click open folders

I have a mac 10.4.11. I don't know what happened but my mouse can't seem to double-click and open folders in my desktop and folders within folders. I can can only do so by highlighting and using shortcuts on the keyboard. Can someone helps me fix this problem!?!

I'm using the white mouse that came with the Mac desktop. Double click setting is set to fast but that isn't doing anything because it takes a million clicks before a folder opens. Maybe I did pressed on the wrong button or something. I don't know. All I know is that I'm using keyboard short cuts to open folders and it's a pain!

Double click snapshot nothing happens

Just upgraded to CS5. In CS5 Bridge when I double click a snapshot in the filmstrip it doesn't open that image in Camera Raw. It did in CS4. I thought there was a selection in preferences to do this, but, I don't see it..
Don

Curt,
That did it, double click now opens camera raw. Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it.

I can't attach file with yahoomail. after I select the file , and double click it , nothing will be done

I just can't attach any file in yahoomail. when I double-click the file nothing will happen

It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''
