I am no longer able to triple-click to select a line separated by dash or spaces. Not all situations, but some. This is a new behavior.

At some point in the last few months, some update has changed the behavior of triple-clicking in web forms. I have been using this method to copy data from one screen to another for years. It doesn't happen in every field, but it consistently fails in many different scenarios.

I think that by default triple-clicking should select:
* the entire contents of a single-line control
* the current paragraph in a multi-line control
If you discover a pattern, could you post a sample text that causes the problem? We then can paste it into this compose box for testing. Or if this occurs in particular forms, you could post directions to that problem field on the form so we could investigate it (assuming no login is required).
Also, if you want everything in a one-line or multi-line form control, you can use Select All. Either:
* left-click in the text, then Ctrl+a
* right-click in the text > Select All

I am no longer able to double click on a file and have it open. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
Have you seen this.

iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

In IE, triple clicking will select an antire paragraph. In Firefox, double-clicking will select a word, but it stops there. Is there a way to get the IE behavior?

In IE and most Windows apps, double-click will select a word and triple click will select a paragraph. In Firefox on Windows WP, double-click selects a word, but triple click does nothing more.
Is there some way I can get Firefox to select the paragraph?

Triple-click still works for me in Firefox 6.0.2.
Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

I'm having problems (1)selecting onscreen text, (2) having problems resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

I'm having problems (1) selecting onscreen text, (2) resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up

I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

Floating menus suck! We should be able to right click to select tools, menus...

Could you please improve Illustrator so that users can access all of the tools using the right click or middle click button (like in Maya)? It is SO much easier. Floating menus are annoying and get in the way. All tools and menus should be accessable with the mouse. This should also apply to things like the layers menu. I should be able to right click on a layer and access the layers submenu, so that I can do simple things like deleting a layer without having to drag it to the trash. Adobe really needs to take better advantage of the multi-button mouse. Speaking of which, when will somebody finally invent a 5 button mouse? If I can use all 5 fingers to type, it makes sense that I should be able to use all 5 to give greater power to my mouse.
And another thing, why can't I go to document setup to see what size my document is anymore? The new artboard features are a fine option, but most of the time I build a file at one size and therefore should be able to simple go to document setup to see what that size is.

Sounds to me like Microsoft logic: If two buttons are good, ten must be great!
No thank you. You can buy a 5-button (plus wheel…What a deal!) Microsoft mouse at any Office Depot. I have two of them turned off because they were eternally in my way. (I didn't buy the thing for a kazillion buttons; I bought it for its optical accuracy.)
But you can throw buttons at a pointing device all day long; that doesn't mean the software you use will support them the way you describe. I quite agree that Illustrator's use of cursor menus is substandard compared to most applications.

InDesign CS5 triple click to select text doesn't work

Hey guys
I'm really frustrated because I've just upgraded to CS5 and I have really run out of ideas. When I was using CS4, when I triple click on a text frame with any tool, it will activate the text tool and select the whole word I triple clicked.
What has happened to this feature in CS5? I have checked the preference and the triple click option is checked. So I cannot see why isn't it working for me. I'm really frustrated because it just means I have to change my way of doing things which it has developed into a habit after 4 years of using InDesign.
I really appreciate some help here. I want that feature back. I don't wanna go looking for another solution and learn another habit. Don't have the time.
Thanks guys.
PS. If I sound really rude that;'s because I really have no time... thanks.

I'm not sure what you're meaning by the background image highlighting. But you could put it on its own layer and hide the layer. Or you could lock the object (Object > Lock).
But I would first try a couple ways of dealing with problems. Restore your InDesign preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
You could also have a corrupted file. You could try this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526991

Firefox no longer launches when I click the launch icon. It was working fine and then all of a sudden it won't launch. I have Vista home prremuim service pack 2. Can you please help me resolve this issue so I can once again use firefox? Thanks

firefox was working. Now it is not. Won't launch when I click the icon. Don't know the version as I cannot get it to launch to check the version.

I updated to V4 but firefox will no longer open when I click on the icon. I can see that the process has started, but there is no browser display. Stopping the process and trying again does not work. Please advise

Prior to updating to V4, firefox worked perfectly with all my existing applications. After I updated it will not launch a browser page, even though the process is shown to be operable in the Task Manager. The same problem occurs on start-up of my computer, so there are no previous processes running.
I cannot launch the broswer at all so cannot try clearing the cache etc or other suggested troubleshooting solutions.

In the Task Manager, make sure to check both the Applications tab and the Processes tab. On the Processes tab, Firefox may have two different components running: firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe. Well, in 3.5.11, it would be only the first one.

When clicking a link normally - a new tab would open, but in this version a new window opens and there are 2 blue bars - the bar at the top of the browser and on the left hand side is a orange firefox button - Next time i start firefox it crashes!!!

This window looks weird: there are 2 blue bars(the upper blue bar - normally there is 1, with the current page name and - Mozilla Firefox written in white inside of the bar) plus in the 2nd bar there is an orange firefox button, on the left hand side.
I have already asked this question and was adviced to start in safe mode - this did not help either.
Please help me quickliy, it is really annoying.
Thanks

I have a new hard drive and itunes and my computer (windows XP) no longer recognise my ipod. I also had the problem with the registry keys not being present but this has now been fixed. However i can no longer link my ipod up with itunes.

When I first tried itunes with my new hard drive there was the problem with the registry keys but something also flagged up about needing a signed driver. Is this anything to do with why Itunes and my computer no longer recognises when my ipod is linked up? Whatever i try under 'devices' my ipod is never available to sync up. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
Any suggestions?

When I click on "To" the names and e mail address do not come up but I can forward

I sign in..go to email....want to address who it is to go to, and when I click on the "to" the list of name and address do not come up and the little line that is in the address box disapears, and it seems like there is a "jump" on the e mail form...it seems to move up. I can open e mail to me, but can not address e mail out.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

When i highlight a word, right click and select "search google for "x"" how do i not get directly into the new tab? i want to stay in the old tab

i want to stay in the current tab and go to the new ones by myself later.

* '''Ctrl+C''' to copy selected text to clipboard.
* '''Ctrl+T''' to open a new tab.
* If focus is not automatically set on the address bar, press '''Alt+D to''' set focus on the address bar OR '''Ctrl+E''' to set focus to the search box.
* '''Ctrl+V''' to paste text from the clipboard.
* Smack '''ENTER''' to jump right into a google search if your browser is configured to search through google from those boxes (which it probably is by default).
* '''Ctrl+Shift+Tab''' to jump backwards through tabs.
Much, much, much quicker then going through the rigmarole point-click-point-click.

Not sure why but when i open a new tab my top sites are no longer showing not even a toggle switch it's just one big blank white page? how can i correct this ?

i did have my most visited sites in the pin ups yet for some reason or other not sure why but not when i open a new tab all there is, is one big blank white page. Not a toggle switch not even blank pin up thumb nails. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you

When I try to log in to Gmail, the page redirects for a long time, then says it won't load properly, that the problem may be not enabling cookies, but I have them enabled.

Any idea what it might really be? (Since I can't log in to Gmail, responding by email will not help me.)

They definitely have some bugs with the new web pages. I've had the same flicker screen, actually its caught in on a logon loop in my case, and perhaps yours. CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE, and try logon again.

I am no longer able to triple-click to select a line separated by dash or spaces. Not all situations, but some. This is a new behavior.
