How do I re-enable the double tap to highlight option on my mac?

So, I'm not really sure what I did to disable this option, I was just playing around with some settings and realized later on that the option got disabled. What I want to do is re-enable the double touch/ tap on m trackpad so that I can highlight an area of text.
This would make my life easier
Thank you for whoever can help me out!!
version 10.9.4

From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility ▹ Mouse & Trackpad ▹ Trackpad Options... ▹ Enable dragging: with Drag Lock

  • After upgrading to IOS 6 the "Double-tap three finger" option to ZOOM no longer works

    Hello to evryone,
    since installing IOS 6 the zoom feature no longer works.
    yes i have it togled on  "on" and yes i already have tried with a full iPhone restore but to no avail.
    given my bad eyesight and the fact that many apps and web pages don't alllow you the classic two finger pinch, this option is extremely useful to me....anyone out there with a suggestion?
    thanks so much
    nw
    Managed to find a way to make it work. i put it in airplane mode than togled ZOOM on and... it now works even after airplane mode was deactivated

    Pjennings-
    One thing you did not mention, is that the photo must have an eight character name plus the .jpg suffix.  Try shooting a photo in your camera, and seeing if the iPad will recognize it.
    If it still does not work, this would be worth reporting to Apple at <iPad Feedback>.

  • How can I disable the double-tap to zoom in function?

    I play a game where I must click fast on a button, but tapping the button zooms in/out the screen all the time.
    I also don't need to zoom in. Thus, how can I disable the tap to zoom function?

    The double tap focuses on elements on the page and to zoom pinching in and out are the main features of zooming in Fennec. Currently there are no ways to disable this feature.

    -Go to menu, settings,
    -about phone
    -scroll to the bottom and find "build number"
    -tap it 7 times (upon completion, it will say that you're a developer)
    -the menu is now near the bottom of the main settings menu (just above about phone)

  • Dictation is not working in the reminders app on iPhone 4s IOS6. The microphone is grayed out. How do I re-enable the microphone?

    Dictation is not working in the reminders app on iPhone 4s IOS6. The microphone is grayed out. How do I re-enable the microphone?

    One day I tried to dictate a note and discovered the microphone was grayed out.  As someone suggested I did a hard reset of my iPhone 4S and that didn't solve the problem.
    Then I had an epiphany.  I use the Notes app a lot and have a lot of Notes stored in the app.  I tried deleting some of my many notes and "viola!" the microphone is black again.  My guess is the app has some kind of storage limit and when you hit that limit, the microphone is automatically turned off.  Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

  • How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook?

    How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook? It is currently retrieving all emails from the four accounts I am syncing to and filling up space on my macbook.  I can't work out how to set a limit.
    Any help appreciated!

    Imap is designed to synchronize your mail client with the mail server, this the normal result.
    Switch to POP access if you want it to work asynchronously

    You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send.
