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

My backed up files from iphone to my mac cannot be seen as they are, but only numbers and letters, they seem to be encrypted even though I did not click on encrypted when backing up

I am using a Mac Book Air to back up my Iphone 5 on Itunes. What I can see of the files are encrypted even though I did not click on the Encrypt box.
Please, help.

Backups of an iPhone made using iTunes are stored in a format that is only meant for use in a restore and are not meant to be accessed directly. There are other methods of transferring things like photos and contacts to your computer such as iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer, iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ, and https://www.apple.com/icloud/
If you absolutely must directly access an iTunes backup there is 3rd party extraction software available such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

How to detect only single click and not double-click mouse events in Swing?

Hi,
In my application, I want to implement a functionality only for single click. But problem is on double click, first i can see a single click and then double click.
i.e e.getCount() return 1 and then 2 for double click. I want to avoid this situation.
Shouldn't it be just one event with a clickCount of 2? or any alternative solution?
Please let me know how can i stop this.
Thanks in advance..
Cheers

Conference Room issue, double bookings allowed even though AllowConflicts is set to False

Hi. I used ADsi Edit to completely delete/remove my public folders database. I now run Get-PublicFolderDatabase and it doesn't find one, so I think I have completely removed it. My issue is that all my conference rooms are now allowing double bookings
even though AllowConflicts is set to False. I'm pretty sure I have jacked this up due to deleting the public folder database. What should I do to correct this? Thanks. John

Hi John

Tabs keep opening on their own even though I only work in new windows.

Since the last Thunderbird update I'm having trouble with random(?) emails opening in tabs, even though I don't use tabs. It's annoying to have to keep closing all these tabs that I didn't open and don't even use in any way. It's a distraction. I'd just disable the tabs bar altogether if that was possible, but I guess it's not an option.
In Tools-Options-Advanced-Reading&Display, I have selected "Open messages in - a new message window", as it's been for a long time. When I click on an email, that setting works normally. I've read that double-clicking an email can cause it to open in a tab, but I can't reproduce that behavior, so I don't believe that's the cause. When I notice the random open tabs, its usually right after starting up Thunderbird for the day. There are usually three open email tabs. I don't leave emails open when I close the program at night - I just haven't figured out a pattern or cause for this annoying behavior. Seems like a bug to me, and I can't seem to stop it from happening. Any ideas?

Multiple albums on ipod even though itunes only has 1

Hi,
Please help, I've been downloading my CD collection using iTunes and when I sync it to my ipod (7th Gen) there are multiple albums with the same name and songs(14 on some occasions) even though when I check in iTunes there is only one. This problem is not just related to one album but 5, the one thing they do have in common is similar album names i.e. Circus and The Circus, Greatest Hits and The Greatest Hits.
Coincidentally, Circus has 14 tracks and duplicated 14 times ??????
I've searched online and tried to find a solution but unfortunately not found anything which helps.
I'm tempted to reset the Ipod and start syncing all the songs but there is over 6000 and hoping there maybe a simpler solution.
Regards
Andy

iTunes and iPod have slightly different rules for ordering and grouping content. In particular the iPod does not observe Album Artist, each may have different settings for how to treat compilations, and inconsistencies in certain fields can have unexpected results, such as generating multiple covers for the same album.
See Grouping tracks into albums for more information.

When double clicked on item, it also fires single click

Hi,
I want to seperate a single click and a double click. I try doing this by using:
if (e.getClickCount() == 1)
fireSingleClick();
else if (e.getClickCount() >= 2)
fireDoubleClick();
But when I doublic click, it also fires the singleclick. Does anyone know how to prevent this?
thanks,
Hugo

Using the suggestions found on this page I came up with something that I think is a little easier to implement. First of all a few observations:
1) From my testing on Windows 98 it appears that the click count is incremented as long as the click is within about 500 milliseconds. To be consistent I set this as the default value for my class (not the 300 that appears to be used in most threads)
2) A double click will be processed immediately. On the other hand, a single click has to wait 500 milliseconds before being processed, just to make sure another click isn't received (which would make it a double click). Just seems a bit strange that a double clicks executes faster than a single click.
Here's the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class ClickListener extends MouseAdapter implements ActionListener
    MouseEvent lastEvent;
    Timer timer;
    long time;
    public ClickListener()
        this(500);
        time = System.currentTimeMillis();
    public ClickListener(int delay)
        timer = new Timer( delay, this);
    public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent e)
        if (e.getClickCount() > 2) return;
        lastEvent = e;
        if (timer.isRunning())
            timer.stop();
            doubleClick( lastEvent );
        else
            timer.restart();
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        timer.stop();
        singleClick( lastEvent );
    public void singleClick(MouseEvent e) {}
    public void doubleClick(MouseEvent e) {}
    public static void main(String[] args)
        JFrame frame = new JFrame( "Double Click Test" );
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        frame.addMouseListener( new ClickListener()
            public void singleClick(MouseEvent e)
                System.out.println("single");
            public void doubleClick(MouseEvent e)
                System.out.println("double");
        frame.setSize(200, 200);
        frame.setVisible(true);
}

Magic mouse gets stuck on right click mode even though I've de-selected right click

Sometimes every time I try and click on links, the menu bar pops up, as if I've pressed right click. Usually have to restart system.

Update: I've also tried repairing permissions and that doesn't help.
I've experimented with other mouses just to see if there'd be a difference, but the problem is definitely with the computer. All plug-in or wireless mouses have the same results. Right click still won't work.

Why does holding cursor over a link activate that link even though I have not clicked on it? Using v.34.0

This was earlier described as a bug in v.31 that was fixed.

When I share photos with Facebook, multiple photos are posted even though I only check off a few. How can I stop this?

When I share photos to Facebook, multiple photos that I didn't choose are posted. How can I prevent this?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

IPhone 5 says fully charged, even though its only at 34%?

My original iPhone 5 charger broke. An internal wire had split, so I purchased a new charger. It was working fine (from flat battery to 34%) and then it stopped and showed the fully charged icon (the little plug image inside the battery in the top right). I did a hard reset and tried a different plug socket, but to no avail. Unfortunately, I don't have another charger to try it on. So I was hoping you guys can help me out with some suggestions. Thank you :)

Where did you get the 'new charger'? Is it an Apple charger, or 3rd party?
The obvious advice is to try a different charger. Plug it into the USB on your computer. Try to charge it from there.
If it doesn't work with a known good charger, make an appointment at the genius bar and get it serviced. It's still under warranty (as was the original charger that you replaced).

My hardrive just got diagnosed as 'faulty' even though its only 1year8months old!!! I had adobe bridge installed on the computer with many picture files that included raw images. How can I get these raw files back after computer died?

computer did not start up one day. it was a white screen
took it to a mac bar and they said the diagnosis was a faulty hard drive
I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
they suggested sending it to a data recovery specialist which would cost around $500!
I am not getting the answers I need on how, why, or what is going to be recovered or if raw picture files will be able to be saved.
Not sure what to do next because I dont have loads of extra money laying around to pay for something that should have not occured in the first place if I was actually sold a good computer.
payed $1095 for this imac and it only lasted just under 2 years. I feel cheated and scammed! Has any one else gone through this same thing?? what did you do?

If it is only 20 months old it is still covered by the 3-year Applecare.
You did take out Applecare didn't you?
I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
Why did you, as a photographer, not make several backups, not just one or a partial one, of your material?

Hello yenaj9,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried restoring your iPod yet via iTunes? If not, I think that would be your next step.

Every time i turn on my macbook pro, it gives me the message: "Your computer was shut down last time because of a problem" even though it only happened once last week

My computer crashed lasts week. And now, every time I turn on my computer, at the login screen it says that my computer shut down last time because of a problem, and gives me the option to restore my windows, i've tried both options, it still comes back.
My computer is a macbook pro mid 2010 running OS X 10.9.1
comment if you need any more information
Thanks for the help!
-Ethan

First boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and then reboot again normally. The safe mode boot will take longer as it runs repair procedures during the boot.
If that fixes the problem I'd also update the system to the latest 10.9.4 via the OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update

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