Double CLICKING on a window no longer MiniMizeS a window, 10.6.1

Any ideas? I think it worked in 10.6, then updated and it stopped.
In prior times, you could click anywhere and it would minimizes.
Please help!
Thanks

Is this new?
Is there a list on what's new? Mine was checked and is working.
Will have to see if on my other partition has it checked or not.
Hmm.
OT: iPhone making the GENERAL "Sonar" sound randomly. Any ideas?
Peace.

When i double click on an item in the firefox dowloads window the item dos'nt open.Left clicking on the item dose not give me the choice to "open" the item.
the downloaded item is a pdf file of 59 kb, and was downloaded using adobe acrobat version 5

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

It seems that the solution works for most people.

Upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (Mac) and can now no longer minimize browser window by double-clicking title bar. Please advise!

I recently upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (Mac) and can now no longer my minimize browser window into the dock by double-clicking the title bar. I need to be able to use this feature. Please advise!

I just upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1.11 too (XP) and am seeing the same behavior. The little mini controller in the taskbar no longer works. If you double click the icon in the system tray, you can restore the iTunes window.
On the Advanced preferences tab, select both the "Show iTunes icon in system tray"
and the "Minimize iTunes window to system tray" checkboxes. If only the "Show iTunes icon in system tray" is selected, you will not be able to restore the iTunes window and will have to use the task manager to kill iTunes.
Hope this gets fixed, I found the task bar controller very handy for pausing/starting/volume control/etc.

Option to collapse windows by double-click to title bar only, NOT minimize into dock?

A double-click to a window's title bar did, in former incanations of the Mac system, result in a collapse of the window to title bar only. Currently, it seems that this option is gone? All I find results in "minimize to the dock".
Is there a hidden option?
Or is there third-party software that adds back this feature?

I was a bit "perplex" about the sensitivity that the term "iOSification" has caused, so I needed a little time to think about that.
From my point of view, the removal of the "collapse a window to the title bar only" function is a feature that fits very well to the wide screen format that we have today. It IS something that was and is (would be) useful on a 27'' screen, and I think it is reasonable to blame the "iOSification" (that is, the attempt to unify the user interface on very small and "real" screens) for the removal of this feature.
I am using Macs since the IIfx (with System 6). It might be that the term "iOSification" fits better to other "back the the Mac" changes to MacOS, but it describes a general attitude that I do start hating.

Double Click on Magic Mouse No Longer Works after 10.9.1 Mavericks Upgrade

I just recently updated to Mavericks 10.9.1 and once the computer restarted, I noticed that double-click on my Magic Mouse no longer worked. I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone experiencing this. I also went into System Preferences --> Mouse but there is nothing about enabling double-click or adjusting double-click speed on there.
Would appreciate if someone were able to help me solve this. Thanks!

Try resetting the PRAM.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Double clicking event on iCal no longer opens it up

Sorry if this is a repeat or plain numptiness, but after years of working fine, I can add a new event by clicking on the time, but nothing will now open it to edit, etc
Closing iCal and rebooting doesn't work.
Any advice on getting it back without killing all my archived and future stuff?

Had a quick scoot back on this archive and Google, and it seems I am not alone.
Strange, but no answers anywhere, despite this being a pretty basic and fundamental bit of not working, but no one has any answers yet it seems, not even Apple.
However, if you need tips on getting it to travel in time and set up a date with Angelina Jolie, there are 25 answers.
Shame that some can't then log the date any more.

Log and Transfer settings, how do I make it so I can double click to rename in the log and transfer window?

I was able to do it - now I have to right click and select rename in order to change the name of a clip. It just slows me down.

If you would read through the Muse forum, this subject has come up multiple times.

I Already checked the general preferences box "double click titlebar to minimize windows," all applications responding to this command EXCEPT for Safari, why?

I thought that I had done something wrong, but it appears that Safari is indeed unresponsive to the double click title bar to minimize command.
All my other applications are responsive to this, but not Safari.
Also, maybe someone could help me by answering these questions:
how it is possible to save safari browsers with the tabs that are open, so when I exit out and reopen safari I can resume where I was before?
why is it that I don't see that little red circle with the number at the bottom of the Safari icon that tells me how many browser windows are currently open so I can juggle between them?
Why is it that you can no longer click on the application icon to shrink the window? I am positive that this was possible on previous mac OS.

I had missed that double-click title bar was no longer working in Safari (I really miss windowshading and tabbed finder windows!), until I read this thread from sharoo..

Since it's application specific, to to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
I'm seeing the same problem now. Tried deleting Cache.db, also deleted Preferences:com.apple.Safari.plist in reference to another thread; still don't get any response to double-clicking title bar. Lately, I usually do it accidentally, but it would seem to be a handy shortcut, especially since it's advertised as being present.
Note: I just tried it in other applications, and I don't see minimizing with double-click anywhere, and can't find any preferences setting for it. [Panic sets in... - am I losing my mind?] I tried looking in the Secrets prefpane, with no luck there either.
What am I missing?
Has this been changed? I also noticed that the green (right-size) button behaves differently now, and there are several ways to arrange icons in the finder, some like the old way, some very different and confusing (I may have figured that out, but have to retry when I get there).

Double Click Window to Close

I just replaced my iMac with a Pro (10.8.2). On my iMac I used to double click a window banner to minimize the window. Doesn't seem to work on this one. I've checked System Preferences and Accessibility. Is it possible to select this behavior? Thanks.

See System Preferences -> Dock. (Odd place to put the preference, but it is somewhat Dock-related.) There's a check box there to allow double clicks on the title bar to minimize windows to the Dock.

Double click title bar to minimize?

Hello, before I "upgrade" to iTunes 12, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if double clicking on the iTunes title bar minimizes the iTunes window?
For some unknown reason, Apple eliminated this functionality in iTunes 11, even though this is the way every other application/window behaves under OS X and is an option in the Dock. Thanks much for replies.

iTunes 11 - isn't this a title bar?
It looks the same as (for instance) Activity Monitor. But with Activity Monitor (and every other app with this top bar look), double clicking on the bar minimimes the window. Not so for iTunes 11. So are you saying it just looks like a title bar, but isn't?

Why doesn't my trigger window open whenever i double-click on one or create a new one?

Hello,
Whenever i open a new trigger, or double-click on a trigger there should open a window to add code, but there isn't opening anything anymore. I don't remember whenever this happened, because i haven't been using
Edge for some time now. It already was an issue before the last update.
Anyone who knows what could be the problem? (and how to solve it ofcourse!!)
Thanks in forward,
Martijn

This also happens when using 'Open Actions for "ObjectName"'... The actions don't open.

Turn off double-click scroll wheel/middle button mini navigation window?

So I've found a couple posts without working solutions....
I use AutoCAD all day, so using the scroll wheel button to pan documents is pretty common for me.
If I accidentally double-click the scroll wheel, the mini-page navigation window appears, and the only way to disable it (that i know of) is to click the tiny "x" each time.....
QUITE ANNOYING as I am in Reader all day, constantly scrolling through documents to reference things.
Anyway to permanently disable the mini page navigation window?

oh, sorry. i realized i had posted the other one in the 5th generation iPod forum.

Double-clicking to open files stops working after opening lots of files.

When I double-click a file it will open the file in CS6 version 13.0.1, but then after a while double-clicking will no longer open jpeg or raw files. I can open the same files by going to File > Open in the Menu Bar.
When I am simply opening downloaded files from my camera, I can open 200-300 by double-clicking with no problems. However, at times when I am working on an image, it is not long before I can't open a file by double-clicking. It will open a blank Photoshop window, but without any Toolbar or Menu Bars.
This happens on a regular basis. Sometimes, also, Photoshop is slow to Quit, for no apparent reason.
Is anyone aware of this problem?

Still having this problem.
If I open a jpeg and just change the name, then Save As to a folder, I can then open another jpeg by double-clicking.
However, whenever I open a jpeg and make changes to the image in Photoshop, then Save As to a folder, I can then no longer open a jpeg by double-clicking. Photoshop will open, but the jpeg will not open.
Since this only happens after making changes to a jpeg in Photoshop, it seems to me the problem is with something in Photoshop, and has nothing to do with my OS.
