Mouse double click on single click

My mouse has been double clicking on a single click since changing to Mavericks 10.9. I have tried different mouse brands from Apple to Rapoo and everything inbetween. I have played with the mouse settings and rebooted, reset the pram and nothing works. It's very frustrating as a graphic designer to be slowed down because of a mouse.
Has anyone ad this problem and has the solution to it?
Thanks

From the menu bar click on Go > (Hold option down) Library will appear, click it.
In the Library goto Preferences
Locate the following files and delete them.
-com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
Restart the computer and test.
Hope this helps.

Changing the double click to single click

Hi All
It is required to change the functionality of the double click to single click only,while creating sales document types. Kindly help by providing path, TC, progrrame, userexit etc. to achieve the objective.
Thanks
Manoj

Hi keerthi,
This is w.r.t. already configured document types. It is additional functionality the user is insisting for. This is required only to the sales orders. here the user wants to use the output header for typing the notes for their specific customer's order.while changing form header to header note 1 or vice versa they dont want to use double click while changing over the the above tabs for text typing.

Double Click to Single Click

Is there any way that i can change the property of double click to single click.
For eg: In a sales order -> header -> texts -> txt type ( Form Header, Header Note1.. etc). Here to see the text of Header Note1 from Form Header we have to double click on Header Note1, rather than double clicking can we change it to single click.
Thank You,
Suresh

I think this is not possible.
Actually the function key for Double Click is F2 and the function code is PICK.
So, if you want to use any other function key instead of F2, we can assign the function code to that function key(say, for example F4, F5 etc), this possibility can be achieved.
But changing double click to single click is not possible.

Mouse on imac double clicking on single click, not grabbing windows, etc...

My older iMac (with failing video card, etc) exhibits this weird mouse behavior. I'm using a standard issue clear plastic single button "Pro Mouse" connected to the keyboard via usb. The Double Click speed is set all the way to very slow in Preferences, but still, a single click on something acts as a double click. The mouse will also give me a hard time about grabbing things to drag them around- Its super annoying. I can't click and hold and move something a lot of the time, and clicking and holding will also act as a double click and open what I am trying to move (say an application in the folder I want to pull to the dock, it will open the program rather than allow me to pull to dock.... etc.)
Any ideas?

another example:
I'll have an email highlighted in Mail and click delete and it will delete 2 emails with one click...
super frikkin annoying. Double click speed is all the way down to slow.

Is there a way to change double-click to single-click?

My dad has trouble double-clicking on folders. He recently got an iMac, and he's used to the single-click option on Windows. Is there a way to set up single-click on Mac OS X?

The lack of single click mode this is the most glaring, problem that the mac has, it globally affects everything you do. Macs are great mostly because they are "dumbed down" but lets face it there are some qualities that are missing because the OS development has not been any comparison to windows. Macs have only had a two button mouse for a couple of years! If you are a light user of email, photos, etc (most of us) you will say whats all the complaining about? ..but if you use your mac for real work & know the advantages of single click mode, it is a nightmare. A person has to know ALL the adavantages to single click mode to appreciate what I am saying.

Single Click in OS X: is that possible?

Hello,
Is it possible to switch from double click to single click in OS X? I don't find anywhere in system preferences giving me this option!
Thanks, Ramin

Hi Robert,
Yes, there are various ways through menus and keyboard shortcuts to launch a program or open an item without double clicking on it, but that wasn't the OP's question. They want to be able to do that by clicking on the item once without doing anything else.
The Finder in OS X will let you do the same thing OS 9 did. Highlight the item by clicking on it once and then press Command+O. Same as OS 9. If it's an app, it'll launch. If it's a file of some sort, it will launch the associated app and then open in that app. You can also add anything to the Dock in OS X. Once there, it's a one click launch.
A double-click, however, should never be required.
It needs to be a requirement. How else would the system know whether you were clicking, say on a Photoshop document, once just to highlight it or to open it? If everything required only once click, you would constantly be opening files or launching applications you didn't intend to. There has to be a say to separate the meaning of your actions without always having to resort to a second action after first clicking on an item in order to do something with it.

Magic Mouse single click double clicks and drops dragged images

Last few weeks my Magic Mouse has started behaving strangely. When selecting something with a single click the mouse seems to double click and open the item instead of just selecting it. Very frustrating. When dragging anything across the screen it always drops the item halfway there.
What is going on? Software? Hardware? I have no 3rd party software installed and have tried various double click speeds with the same result.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

A lot of people have encountered this, Tom, myself included (see discussion here for instance: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11547453&#11547453).
It appears to be a bug in the OS. Annoying, but until Apple fix the problem, it's something we're unfortunately going to have to live with. Sorry I can't help you further.

How to handle both single click and double click from mouse

hey,
I looked in past threads and didn't get a proper answer for capturing both single and double click from the mouse.
in most applications the single click action does not interfere with the double click action, for example in a text editor, single click sets the cursor in between the text, double click marks a word, triple click marks a sentence, they do not bother each other, they all can happen first the single then the double and then the triple, but what if i have a very distinct action for each of the actions, the e.getClickCount() returns every time the number of clicks and if i use
if(e.getClickCount()==1)
    doSingleClick();
if(e.getClickCount()==2)
    doDoubleClick();it will always do first the single click and then the double click, which works fine with the example i gave, but not with what i want to do, so i was thinking to over come this that i will use another thread to run my tasks if dt has past since the last click and by the last click counts to perform the correct action and go to sleep until the next mouse click notify it, what do you think?
run this to get what i mean...

                    if(me.getClickCount()==1)
                         System.out.println("Now I will do single click action");

Uncontrollable mouse button events (single clicks are doubled?)

Hello, folks--
I am having a mouse problem that is driving me up the wall. The mouse in question is an optical IM/PS2 mouse--it is a cheap no-name product, but has worked fine for 2 or 3 years. The trouble started maybe six weeks ago when I did a full upgrade. The most important change that I know of in that upgrade was the introduction of HAL, so I strongly suspect that the cause of the problem is related to my HAL configuration, or perhaps a conflict between that and my X config. But anyway, the symptoms I've been seeing include (but are not limited to):
* Firefox: a single click selects an entire paragraph
* Thunderbird: a single click in the message list opens the message in a new window
* Xfwm: a single click on the "windowshade" button collapses the window, then expands it again
(or vice versa, depending on the initial state)
* Xfwm: when dragging a window quickly, the mouse "loses its grip"--i.e. the window stops moving even
though I am still moving the mouse
None of these things happens every time, but they all happen often. The problems seem most severe in Firefox, but given that similar things happen elsewhere, I would imagine that's due to Firefox's complex event handling exposing a pervasive problem, rather than any kind of application-specific issue.
With the possible exception of the window-dragging issue, all the above symptoms are consistent with a problem I have seen reported elsewhere, that single clicks are being read as double clicks. However, the only clearly applicable solution I've seen for that issue is to remove all mouse configuration from Xorg.conf, leaving it up to HAL. I tried that and it didn't seem to change anything. However, at the same time I purged the mouse from Xorg.conf, I created an FDI file for the mouse in /etc/hal/fdi/policy. I wonder now if that was necessary--there was no FDI for the mouse before, but perhaps there doesn't really need to be one if you aren't applying any special settings? Dunno, I don't understand much about HAL yet.
I have tried a couple of other things: first, I set the double click speed to the minimum using the Xfce Mouse Settings applet (BTW, I suppose this applet is a front-end to some shell command or config file, but what?). That seems to help, but only a little. Second, if I use the mouse in an unnaturally precise manner (e.g., when single-clicking, I click as quickly as possible and lift my finger all the way off the button), the problems mostly, but not entirely, disappear.
Any suggestions?

Did you try another mouse by chance?
Well, no, and I suppose to be thorough I should try that. But I am quite sure that the problem appeared suddenly, and exactly at the time of the upgrade I mentioned.
Well, it could be that your fdi modification tries to catch the mouse events twice in a row. Perhaps you should post the file.
Besides: There is are no mouse specific fdi settings in my system. I currently have no idea where the mouse behaviour was defined besides my still old xorg.conf. (I did only activate Option "AutoAddDevices".)

Single-click registers as double-click, trackpad AND mouse

I did a search here and elsewhere on this and it seems to be a fairly common issue among G4 PowerBook users. These are the threads I found here on the subject just doing a quick search...

I have the same problem and it's really starting to annoy me since I started using this computer more frequently recently. I've owned it since new. It has done this off and on since I bought it. I only used it for travel so I just put up with it but now I'm using it for all E-mail to free up my primary desktop for other needs and this is starting to drive me crazy. The machine originally had Panther on it and when I migrated to Tiger I thought that might fix it. No such luck.
The problem is that quite often when I single-click on something, whether in the Finder or an Application, it registers as a double-click. It doesn't matter if I use the trackpad or a mouse, same problem.
I've tried different "Keyboard and Mouse" settings in System Prefs and nothing makes any difference. I've tried the PMU reset too. No change. I've tried it with the mouse disconnected and I've tried it with two different mice. No improvement. I've even tried it with green eggs and ham but the problem persists!
I've never had this issue with ANY other Mac I currently own (3 others) or have owned in the past (many since 1985). My only speculation is that MAYBE the humidity/static in my environment has something to do with it. I've never noticed an exact correlation but it SEEMS that perhaps I may be having this problem more often when the climate is dry. Possible?
Has anyone found a definitive cause/solution for this issue? Thanks!
Mike

Glad that worked for you Sup3rL4m3r but I suspect we have different issues. I have no problems with anything except single-clicks and click-drags registering as double clicks with either the trackpad or mouse. I have no issues with my "wallpaper" or with erratic cursor issues, or with anything else. When I upgraded to Tiger as indicated in the original post, I did an archive and install but it did nothing to mitigate the problem.
This seems to possibly be a somewhat common problem based on previous posts I've read on it but I suspect that the lack of any solutions suggests it is a design flaw of some sort that has no solution. Perhaps it is not prolific enough to get any attention. Darned shame since this machine has otherwise been flawless. Kind of like buying a new car that has a hesitation on acceleration that you can't get rid of. Most annoying.

Distinguishing b/t two single mouse-click and mouse-double-click

Hi,
I am curious to find out how Forms will distinguish between two single when-mouse-click events and a single when-mouse-doubleclick event. Is it simply a timing issue or is there more involved i.e. the 'co-ordinates' of the mouse. Thanks in advance for any opinions given,
regards,
Kevin.

The difference is same as the difference of Apple and Orange.
Its depends on O/S and event management within OS kernel.
You can change the timing in Control panel of mouse double click.

Doubt - mouse double click invokes both single and double click

Hi Friends,
I added mouse listener to a java component. In the mouseClicked() method, I have implementation for both mouse single and double click. When I try to double click that component it invokes the single click method first and the it invokes the double click method. My problem is when I try to double click that component it should invoke my double click method alone not single click too.
I'd be very grateful if someone can help me.
Thanks and Regards,
Sangeetha J

Your problem: a double click is two single clicks. The first click will always fire a single-click event. How's the computer supposed to know that another click is to follow?
All I think you could do is to instantiate a timer in the one-click method, set to whatever amount of time you think a double-click should take. If you get a second event while the timer's still active, it was a double-click and you can stop the timer and do the double-click action. Otherwise your timer should execute the single-click action after it timed out.
But this will make your GUI look like it's responding slowly to single-clicks.

My mouse is double clicking often, even though I only single click.

I have tried changing the Mouse Double Click Preference to both Max Fast and Max Slow, but nothing helped. Ive been using this setup for over a year. Reinstalled clean when upgrading to Yosemite last week, and this has been happening.
Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Logitech B100 USB Mouse
Any ideas on how to keep this annoyance from happening? It's driving me crazy.

TO everyone on this discussion:
There is a "Double-click speed" setting in the "Accessibility" System Preferences - click on the "Mouse & Trackpad" (in the Interacting options) choice on the left and you will see the slider to adjust the double-click speed.
Also sometimes if you have third party mouse drivers with their own System Preferences settings it might be there as well.
I've got an Apple Magic Mouse and the above is what I use to adjust the double-click speed.
good luck and Merry Christmas
