'double-tap-jump-back' in Mavericks

Hi all,
In previous versions of OS X, with 'double-tap-jump-back', you could jump between desktops and full screen applications with a four-finger double-tap, after you had enabled it by running in shell:
defaults write com.apple.dock double-tap-jump-back -bool TRUE; killall Dock
I've tried this in Mavericks and I don't seem to be getting this to work. Can anyone confirm that this is the case? It's a shame if this feature is gone, it was a big part of my workflow.
Thanks!

I confirm.
defaults read com.apple.dock, reads:
autohide = 1;
     "checked-for-launchpad" = 1;
     "dashboard-in-onverlay" = 1;
     "double-tap-jump-back" = 1;

    I updated my operating system to Maverick 10.9.4. How do I get the ability to double tap my mouse so the page will enlarge back?

    Thank you so very much! I have got 1 Masters online and am working on #2. Yet I am so very computer illiterate. I was able to fix it in less than a minute. Again, thank you.

  • Double-click on a page causes Firefox to jump back a page instead of highlighting at the insertion point

    I have a Logitech iFeel MouseMan. The side button is set up for double-click. Sometimes instead of highlighting at the cursor position the tab jumps back one page. (That is, it acts as if I had clicked the back button at the left of the address bar.) This anomalous behavior does not happen if I physically double-click with the mouse's left button. This anomaly happened about a year ago and a Google search turned up a Firefox configuration setting that fixed the problem. Now I can't find that setting and a Google search provides no answers. I solved the problem by resetting my computer to an earlier reset point, but that is an inelegant solution -- and it takes hours. (The problem is not happening now. I ask for the future.) I would prefer to make the problem go away by changing the appropriate Firefox setting. Logitech told me that the problem is not with the mouse nor its software, but with Firefox and that I should ask Firefox experts.

    Thanks for your response.
    I guess I didn't revert to as far back as the change I had made because when I follow your instructions, no entries are bold.
    Or did you perhaps mean the next time the problem occurs I should look for a bold entry? And then change it back to what it was? (All that I recall from a year ago was that I changed one entry from ''true'' to ''false'', or vice versa.)

  • HT201401 I have a voice speaking to me and i have to double tap the buttons. Also i cannot slide the screens. How do i get it back to normal.

    My phone has gone haywire. I have to double tap all the time. There is a voice talking to me. I cannot slide between screens. How do i get it back to normal.

    Do this, copied from page 143, iphone_user_guide 5.1 Accessibility features:
    Turn VoiceOver on or off: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “Triple-click Home” on page 153.
    You can turn individual accessibility features on or off in Accessibility settings on iPhone. You can also turn some features on or off in iTunes when iPhone is connected to your computer.
    Turn on accessibility features using iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.
    Turn on accessibility features using iTunes: Connect iPhone to your computer and select iPhone in the iTunes device list. Click Summary, then click Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary screen.

  • In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.

    In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.  A page zooms in so less than 1/4 of the page is visible and nothing I do will zoom back out, command minus doesn't do it, double tap on mouse does not zoom out, and the window will not scroll to show any of the rest of the page.  reloading the page does not help.  Loading a different page gives me a normal view again.

    If it were a tweaked setting, it should happen less randomly.  And there should be no settings that could override the zoom setting in unversal Access and the Mouse zoom preferences. 
    In addition, this only happens in Safari 6, and seems to happen more fredquently on some websites and not on others.  That suggests some sort of conflict in the site code with Safari and Apple wireless mouse code.  It does not happen in Mail, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, or other software as far as I can tell.

  • HT1688 when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them?  I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook,

    when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them?  I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook, email, etc.  Also I always select no when I download an app and it wants me to have those push notifications.  Because that would mean that I would have to delete my apps after everytime I just them from that bar and that would be very annoying and just stupid.  Or maybe apps do use data and it's just a big scheme to make everyone go over on their data plans.

  • Double tap on the crown will not return me to last app

    When I am on the Home view or on the watch view, double tapping the Crown will not take me back to the last app viewed.  Anyone else experience this?

    LambChops1,
    I’m using Mavericks, and it’s still possible to select text to drag and for cutting and pasting. Left-clicking and right-clicking is still possible, too.
    Try opening the Trackpad pane of System Preferences, and select the Point & Click tab. To right-click, ensure that your “Secondary click” checkbox has been checked; the small print under “Secondary click” is a dropdown menu which allows you to select the form of right-clicking that you prefer. (For instance, mine is set to “Click in bottom right corner”.) For left-clicking, is your “Tap to click” checkbox checked, or unchecked? (Mine is unchecked, since I prefer pushing for left-clicking over tapping to do so.)

  • HT1430 iPad 3 keeps jumping back to home screen ...

    iPad 3 keeps jumping back to Home screen .

    Your apps are crashing. Try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they help at all.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Start with those two things and see if the apps quit crashing - or see if the crashes are less frequent.

  • When typing my mac keeps highlighting and deleting stuff or it jumps back into an old word and starts typing in the middle of it  what is going on??

    Wow! I would have never thought to look at the battery! This problem started for me after I closed the lid of my '08 MacBook Pro last night. This morning when opened ithe lid (which seemed a little difficult) and I started typing the problem was there. I read a bunch of similar threads but nothing helped (Tap to Click...). Then I saw the above from Macrumors and looked at my battery. One side is slightly bulging and is putting pressure on the trackpad bar from below. I can avoid the problem by typing with my hands off the surface of the Mac, suspended above the keyboard, but the battery needs replacing I guess. It must have overheated when I closed the lid last night, though it should have slept properly, sometimes Chrome or Flash running in Chrome won't let it sleep. I usually just manually 'sleep' it from the Apple menu without closing the lid.
    Side note:
    I just had the whole MacBook refurbished by Apple for $300 a year or so ago, but they didn't change the battery then. Still a great deal...new display, logic board, display board, ram... I swapped the original 200GB HDD for a larger hard disk (750GB) from iFixit. It's been running great ever since but I have noticed some laggy text entry recently or since switching to Mavericks...maybe related to the battery starting to fail.

  • Can't Drag and Drop with a Double Tap using Single Finger in Lion?

    I installed the Mac OS X Lion two days. But I can't drag and drop with a Double tap using Single Finger, which I used to do in Snow Leopard.
    If I choose Three Finger Move, then Swap Between Pages goes back to "Scroll left or right with Two Fingers" that only works with Safari, but doesn't work with Chrome or Firefox.
    I tried literally every setting in Trackpad and also checked if there was a override settings and there is no overrride setting.
    Would be thankful, if you guys could suggest me what to do?
    ======================================
    My Machine Configuration:
    Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2010)
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
    4GB Ram
    Nvidia Geforce 320m
    Mac OS X Lion (Installe on a updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

    Hey Serge many thanks for telling me how to do. now its working like previously
    I just cheked the Dragging under Trackpad option and unchecked Three Finger Moves. now I can drag and drop with a double tap using single finger.
    Thank you guys. You are the best

  • How do I stop previews of recent activity appearing when I double tap the home button

    HHow do I stop previews of recent activity from appearing when I double tap the home button

    As others have mentioned, you are seeing the Multitasking bar which is a feature of iOS:
    Understand multitasking and background activity on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If left alone long enough and after running many apps over a period of time, iOS will eventually close off the app(s) that have not been used for the longest period of time to gain back memory to be used to run other apps that are currently not in Multitasking. There's no way to automatically prevent an app from appearing in the Multitasking bar nor any way to shut them all down at once. You can easily close them off manually as needed by swiping up on the app's displayed screen shot (NOT the lower icon). Multitasking is by design and cannot be changed/modified.

  • Double-tap issue on my Lumia 920

    A few days ago the phone asked me to a backup, there was a problem backing-up in the first time then everything has gone well, after that when i double-tap to wake up the phone a black window appear written on it 'resuming' stands for seconds and then the phone work.
    I want to know what is this problem ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try soft reset the phone by pressing and holding volume keys and power button together for 10-15 mins the phone vibrates and restarts. This won't delete any of the information from the phone.
