Quicktime X double-click to start movie?

Hello,
In previous versions of Quicktime, you could double-click a movie to start it and click a movie to stop it. (Or the other way around, its muscle memory for me.)
However, in the new Quicktime player, this doesn't work. Does it work for anyone else? (If it doesn't I will submit a "bug" request.)
Thanks,

Hi,
You hit it on the head... previous versions of QT...
I was able to open QT, then from the QT Menu bar, click File/Open File. Navigate to a QT formatted file and open it. But some of my older QT versions won't work and I think this link might shed some light on this issue.

A matter of formatting..

I just updated the software on my iphone 4 and prior to updating I could double click and start the camera without logging in, now I can't. How do I fix?

Nothing to fix...things have changed...slide the camera icon up now..no more double tap.

I cannot delete the open apps as earlier after double clicking the start button

Force close apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

Currently using iPhoto 7.1.5 We recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard with updated Quicktime player. Our videos off our camera no longer open in Quicktime by double clicking. Any help?

We are running iPhoto 7.1.5 '08. After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Quicktime Player 10.0, our videos off of our camera no longer open by double clicking. Any help?

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll give it a try. Another workaround I figured out last night is to right click the video, click show file, and then double click the file. Quicktime the plays the video.

How to disable double click to move through many tabs? Double click should mean move to next tab, twice

I just upgraded to new firefox and there seems to be a new "feature", which makes working with multiple (50-80+) tabs impossible.
When I click the move to left tab / move to right tab button, instead of being moved twice, everything jumps at gigantic speed for 15 or 20 tabs (something like PG up, PG down button maybe).
This makes firefox unusable and Im considering downgrading.
How to disable this "feature"?
I tried messing around with
toolkit.scrollbox
but apparently the new mentality of the developers is "WE KNOW BETTER".
How can I fix this?

You can hold down the mouse button on a scroll button a bit longer to initiate scrolling multiple tabs.<br />
Otherwise you need to wait longer between the clicks on the scroll button.<br />
If you click twice on a tab bar scroll button too fast then you perform a 'page up' or 'page down' and the tabs scroll a tab bar width like you noticed.
I'm not sure what you mean with new feature because this is the behavior in Firefox 3.6.x as well.

HT201401 My iPhone 4s has switched itself (possibly via butt? press..) & is now talking to me via every touch of the screen; actually, it requires me to press an App, then double click for each move thereafter...its annoying! How do I change this in setti

My phone is telling me to 'slide or dbl-tap' when I want to use it? Don't want this mode, pls help w settings!
thx

You have turned VoiceOver on. You will need to go to Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver and turn it off. However the gestures on your phone are different with this on. You have to use three fingers to scroll, and to tap an icon once so select it, the double-tap it to activate it. These are the steps you need to take to turn it off:
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

I am unable to play videos in iPhoto that I took on my iPhone. They are in .mov format, but when I double click on them, per the help instructions, nothing happens.

You can't play movies in iPhoto. But, you can in quicktime, which is installed along with the OS. Just double click on the .mov file and quicktme should start.

Mouse failing to open folders and files with double click.

Mouse suddenly decided not to open anything with double click. It will highlight with single click but will not open files. Could I have a broken mouse? Could a virus be causing this? I have checked the mouse settings under System preferences and made sure my pc-using children have not set the mouse to second-click status. Any ideas?

Check back in system preferences > mouse > Double-click speed. Move the slider to the slower end of the scale.

Can't open folders or emails by double clicking mouse

I can't open folders or emails by double clicking my mouse. I was using a corded Apple mouse, so I switched to a Logitech cordless optical mouse, still can't open them. I can open my folder with command O, but not email. Any suggestions?

This worked for me: I trashed my mouse prefs, then restarted, then -- goto System Prefs --> Keyboard/Mouse --> Mouse --> Double-Click Speed: Now move the speed a minimum of one notch below FAST.
Yesterday I installed a Logitech MX Revolution, cordless mouse and lost the ability to double click with it and with my Mighty Mouse. Resetting the double click speed below FAST miraculously reset.
All seems OK now.

Quicktime Movies on published iWeb require right click to start???

I recently added several videos to my iWeb site. While in iWeb, the movies play fine with a normal left-click of the mouse on the play icon below the "movie screen". However, when I publish my site and go to my URL, I along with anyone else accessing my site, have to either double click the "movie screen" to get the movie to play or have to right-click the play icon. So frustrating... has anyone else had this problem? Anyone out there know how to fix it?
The movies are exported from iMovie using the Export with Quicktime feature within iMovie.
Please help!!!!

The movie is overlapping the footer. Go to the Inspector/Page/Layout pane and increase the height of the content of each movie page by 100 pixels, publish and try again.
Click to view full size
You can see the overlap by typing Command+A while viewing the movie page in Safari.

Iphoto wont play movie files and wont double click for zoom or edit

Hi i bought my first ever macbook a week ago,love everything on it,iphoto worked well but today i wanted to show someone a movie file on my camea which i have in my iphoto libray clicked on it and it usually opens,today nothing!!! this file has opened loads before because its a holiday movie, loads of people have seen it but now nothing.
Also my double click to zoom or edit preference seems to do nothing whichever box you check in preffence nothing happens.
Being new to mac i hope i can find some answers!!

Chris:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First Control+click on the movie's thumbnail and select Show File from the contextual menu. When you get to the original movie file double click on it to see if you can open it in Quicktime. If not then it's more a QT issue. If it opens OK in QT go to the next procedure.
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. If iPhoto is still misbehaving log into another account and try the same operations in iPhoto there. If still not working you may have to reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came one. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. After you get iPhoto reinstalled run the latest update for it, 7.1.3 if needed.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My iphoto movies won't play when I double click them. ***?

Hi friends and holders of the light of communal knowledge. I recently noticed a glitch in iPhoto in that double clicking on movie files fails to elicit the once normal response of opening a play window and then allowing me to press play and enjoy the moment I videoed. Anyone know of a reason, fix, solution? Reaching out, thanking you all in advance.

Greetings,
This would be a good question for the iPhoto Forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto
What version of iPhoto are your running?
If you drag the movie out to the desktop and then double-click the movie on the desktop, does it play?
Once you have the the movie on the desktop click on it once and then go to File > Get Info.
Change the "Open With" to Quicktime Player 7 and then click on "Change All"
See if this changes the behavior of iPhoto at all.
Cheers.
