Double Tap does not minimize window.

My problem is not major but is certainly irritating,
Double tapping the top of any window does not minimize them let it be a finder window or firefox but tapping/clicking the yellow button minimized them fine. 'Tap to Click' is enabled so thats not the problem. Double tapping an icon on my desktop for example will launch the file so i know its not a hardware problem. Is there something i need to enable?
P.S. I've already restarted my macbook pro with no avail
Thanks!

Is double-click to minimize enabled in the "Appearance" system preference?

    How do I close an application when finished ... Double taps do not work

    Those who have not experienced the problem will tell you to double tap the home button. I have had the same problem where holding the home button won't bring up Siri and double tapping or single tapping the home button won't close, quit or do anything to the currently running app.  I'm sure with enough oft cheese questions an update will be put out.

  • Magic mouse double click not operating. With iMac 24" and 10.6.8 bluetooth cannot discover the mouse and spins for ever, but mouse was working OK until 2 weeks ago. Now double click does not work, have to go to menu to open messages etc.. A nuisance.

    Magic mouse is not discovered by bluethooth software, but it worked OK until 2 weeks ago (10.6.8 and iMac 24). Now the double clik does not open messages, I must go to the file menu to do it. A nuisance. Closing a file takes exactly 2 or 3 seconds! Any idea? Mouse and batteries are OK and checked by retailer. Please help.

    Also using iMac 10.6.8
    My magic mouse works ok but I am getting the same message from Mouse prefs that no mouse is “discovered” and the progress gear spins forever. For the time being, at least, my mouse functions as expected.
    I have trashed mouse prefs and rebooted, but that did not solve the problem.

  • Itunes does not pass windows logo testing to verify CD/DVDrom drives, Why?

    Hello All,
    When I try to install Itunes 9.2 on my XP 32bit machine, I get the error message "Itunes does not pass windows logo testing to verify CD/DVD rom drives this software will not be installed. Contact your administrator" I am the owner & my account has administrator rights. When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?

    When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
    That sounds like the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing aren't going in properly. (or there's damaged GEAR drivers for an old install stuck on the PC.
    Perhaps manually uninstalling and reinstalling the GEAR drivers can get you past this. There's instructions for that on the GEAR wiki:

  • PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does?  How do I fix this?

    PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does?  How do I fix this?

    Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
    Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
    Then click next followed by finish.
    You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
    Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
    Then click next, followed by finish.
    Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred.

  • Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communicating with an apple airport express base station?

    Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communication with an apple airport base station?

    It say's this on the main Apple Website:
    Support for WPA requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later.  Use of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) reduces the maximum number of network users. When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later.
    So it has to be on WPA-Personal.
    The Airport Utility should tell you what is wrong with it when it is orange.
    Also, is it running on the same channel? For instance, are they both running on channel 1? Are you extending a network, or creating a network?
    Hope that brain snap just puts everything together.

  • Airport utilities does not recognise windows 7 and will not load, how do I fix this?

    Airport utiltiy will not load, it does not recognise windows 7 and I get an effor message telling me that it requires XP  or vista etc.
    I have deleted and reloaded Airport Utilities, Bonjour and Itunes to no effect. Help!

    well...i go only to the site "Test it here: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml". After this i was able to go to a site with the title "Java Downloads for All Operating Systems" and here you download your JRE for your OS. For XP or Win 7 it was a java 6 update 29-b11. The file to install is named '''jxpiinstall.exe'''. After install an restart you go again to [http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml testvm.xml] and see that the java plugin works fine.... (see the screenshot)...

  • HP does not support Windows 8 Consumer Preview

    think those who ask questions on why this does not work, that does not work, no Win8 drivers or printers etc for WIN8 need to realize that this is only a consumer review release, not even a beta, you installed it at your own risk as Microsoft says.
    If you read the initial posted here by Walin within this forum it says: HP does not support Windows® 8 Consumer Preview...
    so maybe reading it may provide you with insite

  • [SOLVED]My Nautilus does not has window borders!!

    Hi,
    I have installed ArchLinux for the first time. I have installed GNOME (GNOME Shell + Mutter + Metacity + Nautilus + ETC...)
    I noticed that among all installed applications Nautilus is the only application that does not have Window Borders (Decorations) and if I wanted to close it I have to press SUPER key in my keyboard then in the activity (dashboard) I click that X appearing to it.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    Thank you,
    Mohammad

    As far as i know you can define the size of the titlebar in the theme. The default theme can be found in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml.
    Back when i used gnome shell, i edited the theme for not to show the titlebar, which is the complete opposite of what you try to do. But maybe you can find a way to edit the file so that the statusbar is always shown.
    This part of the file is relevant for the maximised titlebars:
    <frame_geometry name="max" has_title="false" title_scale="medium" parent="normal" rounded_top_left="false" rounded_top_right="false">
    <distance name="left_width" value="0" />
    <distance name="right_width" value="0" />
    <distance name="left_titlebar_edge" value="0"/>
    <distance name="right_titlebar_edge" value="0"/>
    <distance name="title_vertical_pad" value="0"/>
    <border name="title_border" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"/>
    <border name="button_border" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"/>
    <distance name="bottom_height" value="0" />
    </frame_geometry>

  • 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.

    You can have them go to the right side of the dock by unchecking an option in System Preferences > Dock> uncheck "Minimize windows into applications icon"
