Mouse left double click question

Hello all...
Well, my son seems to have done something on his system...
When I log in under his user name, left double click doesn't seem to work. If there is a .pdf on the desktop, left double clicking won't open it. In order to get an application to run from finder, I have to right click & select open. When I log in under my user name, everything works great.
Question: What did he do & how do I un-do it??
Thanks.

Try moving:
Your son's User name > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systempreferences.plist
to the desktop and restart the computer which will create a new default set. This will reset his system preferences. If this works you can get rid of the file but will have to reset the rest of his preferences. If it doesn't work you can put the file back into the place from which it came (overwrite the new one that will have been created and restart) to restore his settings and we'll have to try something else.
It also occurred to me that since I don't have a two button mouse and don't know anything about the kind you have, perhaps it has its own preferences settings which might not be affected by the general system ones. I tested the above by changing my mouse settings and checked which of my preferences files had changed.

  • Left double click button on mouse is not working

    My Left double click is not working on my mouse. I tried using a different mouse to test whether it was a hardware or software issue. I still have the same issue with a different mouse. I also get what looks like tiny barcodes to the top right of my mouse pointer. This is mind boggling to me. Is anyone else having this issue and what can I do to resolve it? Thanks in advance.

    I also get what looks like tiny barcodes to the top right of my mouse pointer.
    That is usually a software corruption problem.
    Disk Utility ( Repair Disk ) is a good place to start.

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

    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

  • Mouse always double clicks

    I have this problem, my mouse always double clicks. I tried searching the forum for a solution. I got only one result http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73460, but i am not able to solve it. So i started a new thread. I think my problem is there are two instances of mouse, thats why its double clicking always.

    Thanks in advance

    @Lich: Ya I'm using only one. I dont think its a problem with the hardware.
    @ lolilolicon: Your solution did'nt work. Actually this has to be put in "Server Flags" section. If I make it true, my keyboard and mouse doesn't work. So i tried making it False, still not working.
    can somebody tell me if there are two instances of mouse running, how can I find that?
    And thanks for the quick reply.

  • JTable's cell double click question...

    Hello everyone,
    My JTable has some cells with icons and text, and some contains only text.
    All cells are editable, so double clicking on it goes to "edit mode" where user enters new value for the cell.
    Here is my question: Can I somehow determine if user has clicked on an icon?
    What I'm trying to do is to put additional information for cell (some comment), and if comment exists, icon will appear.
    Double clicking on that icon, dialog will show that comment.
    Thanks in advance!

    You did not mention that before. ...You are absolutely right, I didn't.
    Let me emphasize importance of this:
    Can I somehow determine if user has clicked on an icon?
    And when I said "clicked" I mean double click when entering edit mode
    of a cell.
    If I could somehow determine that, I could than
    perform desired action (open a dialog, or something else).
    Thank you for your help so far.

  • Mighty Mouse and double clicking

    Mouse is set to "double click", but, if I place the cursor over a file in my desktop and click the mouse, nothing happens.
    Clicking on links in the browser works fine, but I have to hold down the "control" key in order to invoke the contextual menu and then select "open", in order execute an action that the mouse should do.
    I am a new, iMac convert, and do not know if this behavior is normal.

    Are you double clicking?
    No.
    Again, mouse is set to double click when I press on it, once.

  • Magic mouse not double clicking

    Ever since I upgrade my iMac to Lion OS  my mouse will not double click consistantly.  I tried purchasing a new mouse thinking that my other mouse had a click problem but that didn't fix my problem.  Anybody else having this problem?  Any work arounds?

    I tried this, too, thinking it would solve the problem. It didn't. In fac, it may have made it worse. So weird. I can click to select, right click and choose open, but I cannot double click to open a file or folder. This started AFTER I rebuild a Mac with a new hard drive and fresh install of Lion et al. Anybody have an ideas?

  • Universal Access Mouse Keys Double Click Broken In Lion

    Hi,
    Lion has made a couple of changes to the Universal Access Mouse Keys, BUT...
    You can no longer double click with the 5 key...
    This is a HUGE problem for users reliant on this to counter RSI problems.
    To reproduce:
    In Universal Access, toggle Mouse Keys to 'On'.  Open a text document, hover the cursor over a word, and double click using the number pad 5 key.
    Prior to Lion this selected the word.  In Lion this is no longer happens.
    I am using an Apple keyboard with number pad and a MacBookPro.
    Please re-instate this functionality.
    Regards,
    Rob.

    This was fixed in 10.7.2 or 3 from memory, but returned in 10.8 and remains in 10.8.2.

  • Can't use mouse to double click song playback w/latest update of iTunes?

    Downloaded latest update of iTunes and now I can not double click a song for playback...What's going on? Is anyone else experiencing this?

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in the box below."
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Mouse left/right click only working in Dock

    My mouse Razer naga had stopped working after i interrupted a sleep
    i tried PRAM reset, and SMC reset. Also tried safe boot
    not working still
    i can move it and click in dock and in Safari it opens links just like when you cmd+leftclick "new tab open"
    is there anyway i can reset usb/keyboard/mouse so i can reinsert it agian so mac finds it agian and let's me configurate it ?

    This is getting stranger and stranger.  I did a test of a simulation, then one based on a standard Adobe template.  In both cases the right-click worked.
    Then I created a whole new template, created a simulation based on it, and it didn't work, and reported an error on the page that gave the following details.
    Ah!  Could it be that I didn't store my template in the "Templates" directory, but on my flash drive?

  • Mighty mouse double click

    How do I get my mighty mouse to double-click? Throught System Preferences, I have the the left side of the mouse as the primary button, the scroll button as dashboard and the right side as secondary button. I have the double-click speed set as fast, yet I can not get the mouse to select text by manually double clicking the primary button. Any suggestions? I've only had the mouse for 5 weeks, and have yet to get it to double-click.

    Should work fine, try decreasing the double click speed, and be careful not to push the right half of the mouse.

  • Turn Off Double-Click to Close?

    Is there any way to turn off the 'Double-Click to Close' functionality for creating selections (such as a Polygon selection)?
    I am making complex selections and accidentally double-clicking with my Wacom pen and it closes the selection when I don't want it to.  I have tried setting the Wacom pen preferences for Photoshop but have been unable to affect this issue there.  Obviously, I can continue to add to selections, but the premature closing frequently ends up with wacked shaped selection which I must do more work to cleanup.  If I could turn off the PS double-click to close functionality it would fix this problem.
    Thanks!
    Mike

    Thanks for the ideas folks.  I guess it's a wish for the future then.
    I like the Polygon Lasso tool... just wish the double-click to close could be turned off (I am far faster tracing areas with the Polygon Lasso tool than futzing with the Magnetic Lasso tool... but the rapid fire use of the Polygon tool is triggering the double-click to close action).
    In the Wacom control panel, there is a setting for Double-Click Distance, but turning it to OFF had no effect.  Also setting the Mouse settings double-click speed made no difference... I am still triggering the double-click to close.
    In any event, I'll work around the issue.
    Thanks again.
    Mike
