Suddenly need to double click icons,how do i fix this

I suddenly need to double click on all icons.  The icons get "highlighted" with a square. This square must be "moved" to the desired location then hit twice to enter the requested action.

You likely enabled VoiceOver by triple-clicking the Home button. Check your VoiceOver setting and disable it if it's enabled.
Settings/General/Accessibility/VoiceOver
Remember you need to double-tap to enable/disable the setting until you turn it off
To disable the shortcut (triple-click):
Settings/General/Accessibility/(scroll down to)Accessibility Shortcut

    all of a sudden I cannot download attachments.  How do I fix this?

    I have the same or similar problem. Using the Mac OS mail client, two PDF attachments to a received message are shown garbled. Here is an extract of what I see :

    So I log into iCloud and try to see how these attachments show up. They seem to be there since I see this:
    but when I try and download the files, they appear in my download folder as 0 byte files, ending in .pdf.html.
    This is very annoying. I saw and could read these files yesterday, but cannot today.

  • My External Hard Drive is All of a Sudden Not Appearing in Finder. How Do I Fix This?

    How do I fix this with my LaCie Rugged 500GB external hard drive? I connect to my MacBook Air, via USB 2.0. I have tried other ports and computers, but it still is not recognized by Finder. The USB ports on my computer work, because the drive is recognized in Disk Utility. However, nearly all of the options are unavailable in Disk Utility (see screenshot), and I am unsure as to what I should do.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    You have tried selecting William's External and then choosing the Mount option in the toolbar?

  • My 6th gen ipod nano i have to double tap icons to enter and i have a grey 1 line boarder around my icons, how can i fix this? thanks

    i just recently got a new ipod back from apple because my other one had a hardware issue.
    i wasnt able to manually shut it off by holding the power down button, so i updated ipod and now that part works good. it still doesnt respond well to the touch screen part, i have to use two fingers to get it to slide through the icons and i have to double tap icon in order to enter, and there is an annoying grey boarder around everything now, and to scroll up and down i have to tilt the ipod and wait for it to scroll down by itsself.
    is this normal? anyway to get it back to the way my old one was, no grey boarders and it responded perfectly to my one finger touch.
    heres a picture of the boarder

    of course as soon as i post this question i find the answer on this website! it was in voiceover mode, i got rid of it by going into settings general accessibility voiceover. thanks to this website! so much better now haha

  • Video podcasts suddenly regarded as music in iTunes: how can I fix this?

    Hi everyone,
    OK I've looked around for some time now, but the answer does not seem to be out there.
    After a recent iTunes upgrade, all my video podcasts were treated by iTunes as music podcasts.
    What I mean by that:
    - TV icon is missing next to the file in iTunes
    - Right click says "mark as played" instead of "mark as watched"
    - Available Media Kinds are "Music, Podcast, iTunes U, Audiobook & Voice Memo" instead of "Music Video, TV Programe, Film, Podcast & iTunes U"
    - "Part of gapless album" ticking box is not greyed
    - Those files are absent from the "Video Playlists" on my iPod classic
    However, video podcasts downloaded after the upgrade behave normally! See image below: first video podcast is fine, the others are not.
    This is puzzling me because the old files all have "MPEG-4 video file" as "Kind" and "Podcast" as "Media Kind", just like the new ones.
    Anyone knows what's wrong here? and how to fix it?
    Thanks a lot for your help
    Romain

    Are you talking about using iTunes music for a slide show?  If so you need to go to iTunes, file, library, reorganize files and then it will work.

  • Sound has suddenly stopped on my hp laptop. how can i fix this?

    I have the hp Pavillion dv6 running Windows 7.   The sound stopped after I loaned the laptop to a woman from church whose house was struck by lightening, until she could buy another computer.   My computer was not in her house when it was struck by lightening, and I don't want to tell her about the problem, because she has enough on her hands right now.
    I have tried to adjust the sound myself, and have used the sound diagnostic tools, but every tool says that it can't find any problem.  But there is no sound.   Can you help me?

  • Firefox loads page at first start extremely slowly & while using suddenly loses its connection ability! How can I fix this?

    I'm using Firefox 4.0 I did all the updates I could, I didn't change anything except the history preferences and from advanced -> network
    Whats happening:
    I'm starting firefox, first time or second time I start doesn't matter, it brings every single page extremely slowly (google,facebook,mozilla.com etc)
    after a while it loads the page, and after a little more while suddenly it loses connection and returns to first position
    bringing pages extremely slowly
    It's not about my internet connection, I have a good one and other applications using internet are working perfectly (including IE)

    Thanks for responding, David. Using <Esc> and <CtrlW> might reduce the time in returning to the other tab, but does little when the triggering of a wanton alarm is very frequent. The connections I have used were extremely reliable and fast. I am using at this moment a 54 Mbps WiFi connection that lives up to its ratings in downloading & uploading data; yet, as shown in the attached image, I still get this worthless alarm. I do not know if this problem happens with my regular ISP since I have been using this tiny notebook only when traveling -- will test that once I am back mostly for curiosity, but even then if then the alarm were not triggered this would be of little consolation, since other browsers do not have the problem right now).
    As a moderator, I urge you to ask the Mozilla-powers-to-be why there is no way to turn off the alarm with, say, a true/false switch in about:config (mind you, there is still old-versions junk in this config list, so it isn't we are talking about amending the constitution). Complains about this fugly alarm can be traced in the web as far back as 2010 at least. Besides, what is the advantage of the alarm for the average user? When FF users are still posing amazingly basic questions in forums of Firefox or Mozilla support, such an alarm ought to be _off_ by default and should be an option of advanced settings menu. This annoyance shows how much the critical focus on keeping a simple GUI uncluttered by trivial or higher-level messages still needs to evolve for Firefox, which I have used it since it was known a Firebird. Guess will have to switch to Chrome now while abroad.

  • Previous history items in the Google search box don't open when clicked. How can I fix this please? Thanks.

    With the Google search box installed with Firefox 4.01, when I open the drop down list of previous searches and click on on to access a previous search topic instead of opening that site, nothing happens.

    So, you do not see any fonts bold that shouldn't be bold?
    What are your current default font settings?
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size in case you need a larger font, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

  • Need to double click to do anything

    My iPad has gone weird. It first said JKL and  every time I want to do something I have to double click. How do I fix this to make it go back to normal??

    Are you having to tap an item to select it (and does it then get a box around it) and then double-tap it so as to activate it ? If you are then you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut.
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5018

  • Itunes keeps closing how do i fix this?

    as soon as i open itunes it comes up with encountered a problem and needs to close no solution. how can i fix this uninstalled and reinstalled it

    I worked on this for quite a while. This finally worked. I'm using a Dell running Windows 7 64bit.
    1.) Do at your own risk of losing everything.
    2.) Backup iTunes, you'll have to look elsewhere if you don't know how.
    3.) I also suggest a backup of your music.
    4.) With iTunes running, sign out of iTunes.
    5.) Turn Genius Off.
    6.) Close iTunes.
    7.) Go find your iTunes home directory and change filename extension from 'iTunes Library.itl' to 'iTunes Library.itl_match_not_working'.
    8.) Open iTunes, sign in, start genius, and then match should start successfully. If not, go figure out how to delete iTunes Match cache and reattempt (shift + turn off Match).
    9.) Click Add File to Library... and go find and select the xml from your backup in step 2. This should restore your library. If not,changing the filename from step 7 back to iTunes Library.itl should get everything back to the way it was, albeit with broken Match.
    10.) Savor all the riches of iTunes Match.

  • Pre-ordered an album, won't let me download. How do I fix this?

    A couple months ago, I pre-ordered the Katy Perry album. Since it has been released, I have been trying to download the album. But everytime I go and try to download it, it just says "purchased" and won't let me download. I went to my already purchased area, and it says no purchased songs need to be downloaded. How do I fix this!?

    I know 4 different reasons at least that could cause this. Ask here to be sure:
