Mouse won't double click

I recently upgraded to CS6. Ever since, my mouse has lost it's ability to double-click. Anyone have a clue? I have not changed my mouse settings. I also unplugged the mouse and tried my bluetooth mouse. No change. All the mice won't double-click.

Read on another forum that slowing down the mouse click speed may help. Set the speed even lower than the default AND IT WORKED! Yea!

My Magic Mouse won't double click

I cannot double click with my new magic mouse (or older wired logitech mouse) to open anything, whether it be in finder, the desktop, iTunes etc...
I'm sure that it isn't the fault of the iMac as there has been no update or change of settings.

A reset sometimes helps and it cannot hurt anything.

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.

Mouse can't double-click open folders

I have a mac 10.4.11. I don't know what happened but my mouse can't seem to double-click and open folders in my desktop and folders within folders. I can can only do so by highlighting and using shortcuts on the keyboard. Can someone helps me fix this problem!?!

I'm using the white mouse that came with the Mac desktop. Double click setting is set to fast but that isn't doing anything because it takes a million clicks before a folder opens. Maybe I did pressed on the wrong button or something. I don't know. All I know is that I'm using keyboard short cuts to open folders and it's a pain!

Why won't double clicking Home button bring up Media Controls on iPhone 4S?

Rotation lock has appeared on my iPhone 4S and double clicking the Home button does not bring up Media Controls to unlock it. What needs to be done?

It didn't appear or become activated by itself.

Magic Mouse won't right click on files, but works fine otherwise. 10.6.8

My Magic mouse just suddenly seemd to stop right clicking on files. I can right click on blank sapces in finder or on the desktop and it gives me the usual drop down menu but as soon as I try and right click or ctrl+click on a file there's just nothing. Can't seem to find any similar problems on google. Any ideas?

Hi, yes. The right click would work at start-up until I click on 'always allow' for permissions for google drive, then it dissappears
Unfortunately I found no other workaround other than to switch to the other views (although I strongly dislike working in the other views). But I just use Drive in my internet browser when I do use it, so it's okay for me to uninstall it. Maybe it's something to contact google about so they can fix it on there side.

Mouse won't right click

I've just bought an apple mouse, and although I've gone into preferences and set the right hand side as 'secondary button', it does not right click. Can anyone help out? I'm using it with a MacBook Pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.4.
Thanks!

Oops - never mind. I restarted and now it works fine.

Mouse failure to double click

Hi
Can anyone explain why using options to reset mouse speed to slow worked. All conventional sol. (REbooting, fix permissions etc) failed. I can now use mouse to xx click, but slow speed messes up thing playing some of the computer games. I would really like to speed it up w/0 losing other things.

You might look into the alternative mouse software SteerMouse.

Mouse won't left click or right click

Mighty Mouse (wired) has stopped recognising left click and right click. All clicks on the mouse are interpreted as a click on the scroll wheel ("centre click") which brings up Dashboard and prevents normal use of the mouse. Is there a way to fix this, or is the mouse dead?
I have unplugged the mouse a few times, but no change. The side buttons still work and the scroll wheel still operates normally, just no left or right click. My spare mouse is an older style (from a G4) so can't access the relevant preferences to re-map how the Might Mouse should operate (eg, to change centre click to operate the normal left click function). Any suggestions? It's still under warranty and has already been replaced once for a different problem.

You could try cleaning it:
Use a clean lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water. Wipe the ball and the surrounding area, making sure to rotate the ball itself to ensure complete coverage. If the scrolling feels rough or if the scroll ball isn't scrolling up, down, or side-to-side, hold the mouse upside-down and roll the ball vigorously while cleaning it to help dislodge any particles that may have collected on the internal hardware.
Let us know if this helps,

Mouse won't point/click do gestures since Lion OSX update!

I bought the new LION X and installed it on my iMac last night and now my WIRELESS MOUSE will not work to it's fullest functions: SCROLLING
left - right up - down. I called the dummies over at support and since all they do is read from a script they typically do not provide the best
information which is appalling. They said I could take it in to Genuis Bar and switch out, but when i got to the Apple store the mouse in question
worked fine w/their devices, it also worked fined when creating a new user and using it through there but it will not work in my main account! ***?!
So I called Support again and they have me on hold but apparently they don't know what they issue it. Come on Apple!

BINGO! I found the issue out ON MY OWN though i seriously wish i had come here sooner to get the information.
I went through 2 different support agents w/the last one sending me over to a SENIOR tech agent (which is english for REAL TECH AGENT) and was on hold for 20 min and found the solution by coming here!
System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Mouse Options.. button > check scrolling.
talk about paying something for nothing! I made a trip to the store for no reason and spent all day trying to get this to work, why don't they have real support people instead of these people looking for the resolution inside book help, clearly their books don't provide basic information enough to trouble shoot customers issues!

Mouse won't control click

Unless I hold down the control key. I switch left and right button and it still does not work. Develpoer 3.2 Open office 3.3.1 on machine only changes except iTines 10.2.2

Welcome to the Discussions Headdragon,
Are you using an Apple mouse?
Third party mice, like the Microsoft one I used to use for gaming, require you to install their own software first. They normally add another control panel to System Preferences. You then use this to set the function of your right (or other) buttons.

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.

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.
