Double-Click Setting not saved

Help! On my brand-new MBP 13" the double-click speed is not saved with "Keyboard & Mouse" preferences.
Everytime I log in the double-click speed rate is set to "slow" and as a result many mouse-clicks are considered as "double" without intended to be. After correcting the setting everything works fine ... until the next log-out / log-in.
I already trashed the preference file without success.
Any suggestions? This behaviour is really annoying ...

Hi,
f12>Debug tab, click the 'start' button.....(select break on all exceptions from the dropdown on the Debug tab)
click your table and correct any errors that are listed in the Console of the developer tool.... probably you are using attachEvent I/o addEventListener. You should be using addEventListener for IE9 and higher and other web browsers.(it the w3c standard
(recommendation).
Post questions about html, css and scripting for website developers to the MSDN IE Web Development forum. Include with your question a link to your website or a mashup that shows the issue.

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.

The double click is not working so cannot navigate. Do you think this is a fault or have the setting been changed

I am new to apple and found that the double click on my MacBook air is not working so stuck on one screen and can not move. Is there another way other than double clicking to move between screens? Do you think this is a fault or just that the settings have been changed
Thank you

It is probably set too fast or too slow. Go to System Preferences from the Apple menu. Click on trackpad and adjust the double-click speed here.

Volume setting not saved

Hello,
My volume settings are not saved when I power-cycle or reset my iMac. I have tried resetting the PRAM, with no effect. In another thread, someone asked me whether my PRAM battery might be getting old; the answer is, probably not, this computer was new as of this January.
One thing that's a little different from my other/previous Macs is that I have a Solid-State Disk (SSD) as startup disk and a standard Hard Drive (HD) for data storage. As recommended by various threads on the subject, to optimize performance while minimizing wear on the SSD, the /Users/xxx directory is on the SSD, but various sub-directories (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, ...) are on the HD. I've noticed that this leads to various odd perturbations (e.g. icons in the Finder sidebar only update when I click on them, can't launch a Parallels virtual machine by double-clicking its icon, ...), but I really don't see how it would be related to my volume settings.
Here's the machine configuration:
iMac (iMac11,3) 27" / 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 / 16 GB RAM / 251 GB SSD / 2 TB HD
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K540)
Boot ROM version: IM112.0057.B00
Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks for the suggestion. The Library folder is on the SSD, and I don't think the Public folder really has anything to do with this. But I did try moving the Desktop folder back to the SSD; the only thing that changed is that the Desktop icon in the Finder window sidebar is drawn correctly. The volume setting behavior is not changed.
I noticed something else, though: when I increase the volume and restart, the reboot chime is louder. This implies that my volume setting is correctly saved to PRAM, but then something else - during the start-up - cranks it back down. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to track this sort of thing?

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:
http://www.wilzdezign.com/support/homesite_support.gif
Should I try a reinstall of HomeSite+ ?

In Piano Roll, double click on note opens List editor. CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

While editing in the Piano Roll Editor, double clicking on a note opens up the List Editor.
CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

I realize that it is my way of working that causes the editor to open up. When I work fast and with the zoom out a little to far, some times when trying to move a note it fails to move and when I try to move it again the List Editor opens up. I am very set in my ways after 20 years of non linear and 30 years of midi programming. I was just surprised that this is not a preference.
I really don't want to slow down my double click settings. I like them fast to avoid this very thing, false double clicking. Maybe I'll try making them faster.
Does anyone know where the support Feedback is located? I would love to request another pref be added.

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.

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!

Configuration setting not saved

hi,
When i receive configuration setting for web beowsing on my mobile from my service provider.I get a message " trusted server setting received but not saved.message could not be authenticated and deleted."So i am unable to browse the web.Please help me .

You seem to have deleted the settings message from your service provider. Contact them and ask them to send it again. This time after you receive it you need to save it and it should auto install. Also sometimes there is a password to save it. If there is, the service provider usually sends you a separate message with with it.

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.
