You have activated some of the accessibility controls.

The the voice over sounds like the first one to check. this will turn off the lady's vioce.
Hope this helos.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

I've lost a load of notes, but dont know why or how to get them back. I cant find the folder that is in my Yahoo account that people have suggested might be the location for the messages. I recently signed into iCloud for the first time.

It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2. or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello All,
Also no answer but am having the same problem. All my catalogueing via folders is up in smoke and no external HDs (where I would normally directly store raw footage when importing) showing up on the iMovie interface. It is a pain the arse to go back to the earlier version - why APPLE, pray tell, do you continue to lower expectations user-friendly functions. Shall try the option+open for a library but this too is extremely inconvenient if it works like iPhoto because you have to log out to log in to a new library whereas I just want to be able to see my multiple HDs directly from the iMovie menu and then the folders within folders I have layered in there - to make it easy to FIND STUFF. Wake up Apple, you are NOT meeting your customer's needs or desires.
Thanks to the posters who are helping the rest of us lost in the dark with possible solutions - free fix-its for Apple which they don't deserve.

my business partner signed up for the acrobat xl pro, and added me to the account. it send me an email to download and install, but after it downloads, nothing happens, can't double click on it to open, it just does nothing on the double click. I tried to download again, and still same thing. I am on a mac with latest OS. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

he is on a pc, we bought a subscription to the license and was told it's 180 a year or 14.99 monthly per user, on the business plan. So the sales rep on the phone walked us through adding the people who will be added to account who will need a license to use. the sales rep said that we just need to go to that section and add users and it will email the user a link to download the file and install

I am trying to install software and am getting the following prompt.Installation Failed, the installer cant create the folder "var/folders/sq/2fzf3s_d2bzb21159nbwkb2r0000gn/T//install.3732dq0ogT. How do I repair this

I am trying to install software and am getting the following prompt.
"Installation Failed, the installer cant create the folder "var/folders/sq/2fzf3s_d2bzb21159nbwkb2r0000gn/T//install.3732dq0ogT.
How do I repair this

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

I updated my iPad to ios 7.1, and now I can't double click on the home button to switch between apps, or to close them. What happened? How can I fix this?

I can't double click on the home button to switch between apps, or to close them. This happened after I updated to ios 7.1

Swiping up from the bottom of the screen with four fingers did not bring up the app preview. A single press on the home button still brings me back to the home screen, but a double press of the home button does nothing following updating to 7.1 Given that, when I added a software home button as suggested by DIAVONEX, I found that all of the apps WERE still open! So thank you DIAVONEX, and you should be careful, bobseufert, as your information was inaccurate.( I did try turning it off and that didn't change anything. ) I don't really want a software home button on my screen, but I guess I will use it until either there is another update to resolve this glitch or someone else identifies a quirky setting that I inadvertently activated...

I can't double click to collapse firefox window into the dock

I'm running OS X with the newest Firefox (the Yahoo Edition.) Suddenly, double clicking in the top of the window no longer collapses it into the dock. I've tried repairing permissions and dumping the Firefox prefs to no avail. I just did a Firefox security update a few days ago and I'm wondering if that has anything to do the problem.

I have this problem too (Mac Firefox 21) but only when using a custom theme. When using the default Firefox appearance, I can still double-click to minimize Firefox to the dock. I wonder if all the other people who've complained of this problem were also using a custom theme?

Can't double click and add event in month view. HELP!

For some strange reason, I can't double click to addevent on Ical Monthly view all of a sudden. Whenever I double click, nothing happens. Same thing happens on the year view.
I can only add event now using the stupid + signs, or go into daily or weekly view. HELP!

I have this problem too. Just started today all of a sudden. When I am in iCal on my Macbook, I double click - like I have been doing since ical was invented - and nothing happens, other than a quick "updating" message. I tried clicking the "+" button but all it gives me is "quick event" to add but nothing ever shows up in my iCal calendar on my mac. When I log into to iCal in the Cloud - lo and behold! - I see dozens and dozens of "new event" entries all over my calendar! What is going on and how can this be corrected? At this point my computer's ICal program is basically now useless since I am prevented from adding anything to it.

Can't double-click to open a topic

I have no idea what happened, but now I can't double-click to
open topics. I can right-click and select Open with WYSIWYG. The
only thing I can figure out, is an automatic Windows update
occured, then I couldn't open topics by double-clicking. Please
help, this is such a drag!

Yes I can imagine it's a drag
. I'm assuming this is not limited to just a few
topics or projects but across the board? From the menu item you
mention you are using a version of RH older than X5 - which is what
I have. Can you ensure that RH is flagged as your default editor.
Try looking at your options. In X5 it's in the HTML Editors
tab.

Can't double click to open PDF files

Within the past two weeks I'm getting this odd error where I can't open a PDF file by double clicking it. I get an error saying "This action is only valid for products that are already installed"
I have Reader 8.1.2. installed. I CAN open a PDF file when I open up Adobe Reader and then browse and select the file from the File Menu. I just can't double click to open any more. Very annoying.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Reader, but I'm getting the same error.
Any help is much appreciated!

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
Best wishes

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

I cant slide the screen, but I can do double click. But also is a women is telling me what to do, like the time, the names of the apps or the names of the folder.
