Double-clicking on midi region(s) doesn't center the playhead - why?

This issue is driving me nuts:
Say I have the playhead parked at bar 20 in the arrange window and want to examine the midi notes on all of my tracks in THAT bar. I have 8 midi tracks. I double-click on a midi region and the piano roll opens in the window at the bottom. Sometimes is shows the playhead parked at bar 20, but most of the time it doesn't: it is way off to the left or right of bar 20. This happens when I examine the remaining 7 midi regions by double-clicking on them as well.
If I can't see the playhead, then I have to mouse and scroll and mouse and scroll to get to see the playhead.
It would be much less time-consuming if every midi region I double-clicked showed the playhead in the center of the piano roll, where I parked it at bar 20. After all, THAT is the measure I am examining on every midi track.
Can Logic do this?

Here is a link to photos showing the problem:

I tried the "set locators" solution which you'll see.
For some strange reason, only the percussion parts are not showing bar 20...

Double clicking on a region to open it no longer works...

After installing OS 10.8.2 I have problems with Logic 9.1.8. If I double click on a region in the Arrange window, it used to open on the lower part of the Arrange window so I could edit notes, velocity settings etc. Now, when double-clicking, the lower part opens for very short time (0,1 second) and then disappears. I have deleted prefs files, restarted the iMac etc., but nothing helps. - What should i do? Is there any other way to open a region in the lower part of the Arrange window?
I just discovered that I have the same problem when double clicking on instruments. They open for a very short while (0,2 sec) and then close. This means that I can't adjust parameters in the pop-up window (instrument, filter etc.). Very strange. I remember I had this problem some weeks ago, but it disappeared. Not now.

A few ideas..
Have you checked your mouse/trackpad settings in System Preferences.... in case something got messed up there... as it sounds like an input device issue in some ways
Also, check Logic Preferences/General/Editing and make sure that Double Clicking a Midi region Opens... is set to Piano Roll (Even if it is.. try unchecking it.. close prefs.. and recheck it again..)
Finally, you said you had trashed the pref files.. which one(s) did you trash? Did you also trash the CS one too.. as it could be related to a control surface issue.. I mention this because a client of mine had an issue after installing an iPad Controller for Logic... If you have an iPad/iPhone.. make sure the iPad/iPhone is powered off (Not just asleep) and test after that too...

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

When I double click my IPAD screen there are apps at the bottom. How can I remove them?

When I double click my IPAD screen I have apps at the bottom how can I remove them?

If you are running iOS 6 or iOS 5, those apps are the recently used apps in the recents tray. You don't need to remove then from there, but if you want to do so, you have to close them. You do that by holding down on one of the app icons until they all wiggle, then tap the red minus sign to close the app. Do that to every app that you want to close. Tap the home button when you are done.

using office outlook under parallel desktop double click on an Excel attachement does not open the document in Excel.
double-click opens Excel Office 2011 for mac without the document.
It should open the document in Excel 2010 for Windows.

In Parralells, choose the file you want to open.
Right Click on it and choose Properties.
In the General Tab you will see "Opens with:"

Then choose Excel 2010. The checkbox below should be set to "Always use ... "

Occasionally, some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other images cannot be opened with a double click. They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard. They also cannot be moved to collecti

Occasionally, some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other images cannot be opened with a double click. They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard. They also cannot be moved to collections. Anyone have a solution for this?

When you say "could not be opened"- what are you referring to? A double click of the mouse should view the clicked image in Loupe view- the same as pressing [E] on the keyboard for an enlarged view. (And a second double-click will take you back to library grid view.)
To "open" an image in the Development module requires you to select the image then press [D] or click on the [Develop] button.
When you say "could not be ...moved" -what are you referring to? Are you trying to move an image file from its place in a folder to another folder? Are you just wanting it in a collection? When you drag an image to a collection you are only placing a link to the image in the collection- not actually moving any file. The image will stay exactly where it is in its original folder and will remain as a thumbnail preview in the Library Grid view.
Are you having any "mouse" problems that may be changing its actions in LR ?
Do you see an exclamation mark on any image borders ?
Let's keep working on this. I am curious to see you find an answer.

Why my epson 3800pro doesn't center the print

Hi,
I have a interesting and very annoying problem. Why my epson 3800 doesn't center the prints on the paper anymore?
Using this printer for more than two years now and all of the sudden regardless the paper size and the settings the i
mages are centerd for an 8 1/2 x 11 ratio. Spent nearly 2 hours on the phone talking to Epson support repairing
disk permission, uninstalling and reinstalling the printer, reconfiguring and so fort. Still, every print is off center.
In the printer dialog everything seems fine; when seting up the printer and paper size the image on the screen
adjust's accordingly but the print still comes out wrong. The technician on the phone suggested - maybe just wanted
to get rid of me - that it's something to do with Photoshop.
Anybody has an idea what could be wrong?
Thanks, Janos

Anyhow, here are the images in question. As you can see from the settings am about to print on a Canson 11x14 paper.
Which paper is it? I did a search on the Canson range and could not find an 11x14 paper. The closest I could find is 11x17, like the other paper makers. Did you cut the paper down to 11x14 yourself? If so, Tai Lao has a good question about whether the measurement dimensions of the cut paper are correct, it would be good to double-check.
monkeyfighterz wrote:
It made me think if there is a paper sensor (is there such thing?) in the printer not functioning?
There is a paper sensor in the 3800 (I use a 3800 too, with no problems centering). The paper sensor is optical, and can be misled by existing ink on the paper. Especially black. Is your paper blank, or something already printed on it? If your paper is already printed with a significant dark area near the edge, the sensor might assume that the paper doesn't actually begin until it finds white. If this causes the printer to change where the print head starts on the paper, this can cause alignment problems.

"Canson" (Canon?) paper
I'm assuming it's Canson. Canson is one of the traditional European paper makers who have adapted some of their fine art papers for modern inkjet printing. Their product line has been around for about half a millenium.

Double-clicking mp3 outside of itunes doesn't automatically play

if i double-click an mp3 on my desktop (or anywhere on my hard drive), it no longer automatically plays when itunes loads up (or if itunes is already open).
i think this still happened when itunes 8.0 was released. i don't know if it was the same with 8.0.1, but it definitely doesn't occur in 8.0.2
i tried looking to see if there was a setting i may have unchecked (or it turned off when it updated) but i can't seem to find anything.
anyone else notice this or have this problem?

i too am having this problem. itunes used automatically play a song whenever i opened the file from outside itunes. it's annoying now that it copies the file into itunes but just sits there until you press play. i've noticed it only since my last itunes update. i keep looking through the settings but i know i've not changed any of them, and i can't find anything to fix it either! please help!

When I double click on Firefox Icon, it doesn't start

when I double click on Firefox icon the clock glass appears on my pointer but the Firefox doesn't start. but some days like today it opens and doesn't have any problem.
I predict that I will have this problem again after I close the Firefox's window.
The problem started since a few days after updating my Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== afew days after updating my firefox

One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

While browsing Firefox, display another htm*file by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer and not getting the erro message "Firefox is already running (etc) "

While browsing the Web with Firefox, I often want to view an htm (or html etc) file that is recorded on my computer, by double-clicking it in my Windows Explorer, hoping it will open automatically a new tab.
When I try this now, I get the error message "Firefox is already running (etc)" .
In my current setup, Firefox is associated with the htm and html file name extensions.
If, instead of double-clicking the filename in the Explorer, I choose the Firefox menu item "Open a file", this works OK.
In old versions of Firefox, double-clicking a filename in the Windows Explorer or File Manager caused Firefox to open a new window every time which was ok.
I have the same problem with Thunderbird, which I have associated with the "eml" file name extension. How can I view a series of recorded ".eml" files with Thunderbird when Thunderbird is already running ? Thank you.

The target field of the desktop shortcut is "D:\C_Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" (no switch)
The system/environment variable MOZ_nO_REMOTE is now 0, changed from 1, but I can see no difference. Maybe I need to restart the system to get a change ?
Thank you.

Double-click on *.rep file opens in DeskI with "File Reservation" why?

If I double click on myreport.rep it opens the report in DeskI but pops up a Window headed "File Reservation" with the message "myreport.rep is being modified by another user or application. Open as Read-Only, or choose Notify to be alerted when it is available." and buttons Read Only, Notify and Cancel.
If I logon to DeskI and then open the report using File->Open then there is no problem. Why can't I open it by double-clicking on it?
I am using BOXI R2 with SP4 and LAfix_409 on Windows XP to access a BOXI R2 SP4 Enterprise server running on AIX and I am using Enterprise Authentication to logon to DeskI.

Hi Ian,
Following solution might help you to resolve the issue:
Try deleting the following folders in the registry:
- Start -> Run -> Enter 'regedit'
-Locate and delete the following sub-folders:
