Double click (or 2 finger touch) does not open event in iPhoto

When I double click or 2 finger touch on an event, it does not open the event. instead, it offers "Play slideshow" or "Make key photo". Also, when within an album, a double click does not enlarge the thumbnail. I am using iPhoto 11 and OS X 10.8.4 and the track pad.

That is not the normal way to double click on a track pad (although you can change setting in the trackpad control panel)
Double click is two (double) clicks in quick succession
a two finger click is "right Click" and the menu you are getting is the right click menu

  • Double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail

    double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail unless I go to forward or reply. In other words, I may see a couple sentences, then it's just blank, no scroll bar either. This gets annoying. Anybody else get this or know how to overcome this?

    Well, there is no such thing as an AOL type account in Mail. Such an account must be set up as either POP or IMAP. Nevertheless, knowing that the ISP for one of the accounts is AOL is useful because it seems that other people also have this problem with AOL -- see Chuck Coulson's and smackwell's posts in this thread.
    I don't think I'll be able to help you with the AOL account other than telling you to try rebuilding the mailbox -- select the mailbox and choose Rebuild from the Mailbox menu. Have you tried that?
    The problem shouldn't happen with the POP account, however. Do you experience the same problem with it as well?

  • After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up.

    I am using MacBook Air with Yosemite OS. After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up. Could you please give me suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thank you

    That's a bit vague, but you may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • When I click PDF file, the file does not open and  installation software for creative suite automatically begin to start. Even after re-installation of creative suite 5.5, only acrobat reader dose not work and the same phenomena occurs.

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

  • Double tapping Outlook 2010 Calendar appointment does not open it in Lenovo ThinkPad Helix with Windows 8 Enterprise

    I've found out a strange behaviour of Office Professional Plus 2010 (SP1) calendar appointments in Windows 8 Enterprise touch screen device (Lenovo ThinkPad Helix): if I try to open the appointment by douple tapping, it does not open, but in many cases
    the appointment is just moved forward for half an hour. With normal mouse douple clicking works fine. Office SP2 does not fix the issue. So maybe this is not an Office, but Windows problem?

    Hi,
    It’s really a weird behavior. It’s not possible to write on the calendar items in Outlook by double tapping. Did this behavior change all appointments time or just the one you tapped on? Please log on the OWA and check if the appointment time changed there.
    Meanwhile, please try the following troubleshooting steps:
    1. Start Outlook in safe mode and check if the issue persists. (Press
    Windows key + R, type “outlook.exe /safe” in the
    Run box, press Enter)
    If the issue would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the issue.
    2. Try reset your calendar current view and check the result.
    Also try to change to another view (such as List view) and double tapping the appointment to check the result.
    3. Do you have any other calendars? If so, please check this issue in other calendars.
    Thanks,

  • Upon clicking Firefox icon-Firefox page does not open

    Without any apparent reason, upon clicking Firefox icons, Firefox does not open. Appears the sign asking to wait on the screen, and the graphics for the icon being "pressed" but the page does not appear.
    Thanks!

    Make sure that "Match case" on the find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check mark.

  • My IPad needs double click to access anything and does not scroll through anything

    IPad needs a double click to access anything and then does not scroll down.

    Do you need to tap (and the app/item then gets a box around it) and then double-tap ? If you do then you probably 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

  • Cannot open files with a double click !! Trackpad solution does not work, just makes my cursor move slowly. Have not found a solution in forums. Help needed please!!

    I cannot open files by double clicking ... have looked at forums and no solution yet !!! Control click is the only way i can open files
    "If you go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse and Trackpad -  You can set the speed of the double click to be much slower.   Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem. "  this solution did not work it just made my cursor move at a snails pace.
    Thanks for any help forthcoming !!!

    found this on another websites forum .... it worked
    I figured it out. Thanks everyone!
    I had to turn on my wireless mouse... And even though I wasn't using my wireless mouse and just the trackpad...I had to turn on my wireless mouse then adjust those settings...Had to turn down the speed. Then Once I shut the mouse off and started to use the trackpad again it works perfectly.
    I'm not sure why the mouse settings would change the trackpad settings but it did.

  • Double Clicking on a PDF document, will not open

    When double clicking on a PDF document with the default document properties set to Acrobat Professional 8, the document will not launch Acrobat.
    If Acrobat is already opened however it will launch.
    I've tried:
    re-setting file associations
    deleting preferences
    Uninstalling and reloading Acrobat: (solves the issue for a time but after a period of use it reverts to this broken state).
    OS X 10.5.5 is fully updated, as is Acrobat 8.

    Another Utility that will do the same without aid of DVD.
    is a Utility called
    AppleJack version 1.5 works with OSX.5.x and version 1.4.3 work with all previous systems.
    download install the go into Single User mode (restart Command-S) wait for screen to come up will be in B&W as soon as it starts up release until you see a Blinking Block Cursor. type applejack as instructed on screen. follow the commands as shown in Order.
    I amazing what problems it can clear up. Font Caches are removed and others. If you follow all the way to the end. Its amazing how much your machine will speed up up not having to wade through obsolete Cruft. Note if you do everything to the end. will take you computer a few minutes to rebuild caches, and other items.

  • TS3212 I have downloaded iTunes, but every time I click on the link it does not open. Why can I not open iTunes after downloading?

    I have deleted old versions and uploaded the new version. Now that I have completed the install, I cannot open iTunes. I double click it on desktop and it shows thinking symbol for one second and doesn't open. I go through the start menu and it does the same thing. Help!! Please.

    Can you check something for me please?
    Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
    Now try to launch iTunes.
    Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?
