Why do some have to click twice on floating audio control to start sound?

We are finding that for some users, a floating audio control within acrobat reader has to be clicked twice to start the audio. When the audio button "Play Audio" is clicked, the floating audio control is opened and the play button is activated but the sound does not start on some machines. The pause button is available to click, indicating the play button has been activated. No sound occurs, and the progress indicator does not move. However, if I click the pause button and THEN click the play button, the sound starts and the progress indicator begins to move. So far Adobe support has not been able to answer this issue. Has anyone else seen this happen? Problem seems to happen on about half the computers we have tried it on. Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or solutions.

Same thing - have to click twice even though default settings.

Why do I have to click twice?

I'm trying to update the text in a JLabel by clicking a toolbar button. For some reason, I have to double-click or click twice to get it to update. The JLabel is currently part of a class (ClassB) that is constructed in my main application class (ClassA) and placed as a component of a split pane.
If I strip everything out and just have a button and my ClassB in the contentpane of ClassA, it works fine.
Can anyone give my an idea as to why this could be happening?
//Method to update data (ClassB)
     public void updateData() {
     latValue.setText("Help me");
     latDisplay.repaint();
Thanks

Off hand I'd say there is a problem in the code you stripped out. Why don't you post some properly formatted code that demonstrates your problem and then maybe someone will be able to help you.

FW CS4 - Why do I have to click twice?

I've been working my way through the Adobe Classroom in a Book for FW CS4, and it keeps telling me to click once, after I start the import process, to place a graphic on what I'm working on. But if I click once, nothing happens. I need to click *twice* to get the graphic to be placed.
Why is that? Is the book wrong?
I'm on a Mac Pro, running Leopard 10.5.8.

Hi there:
Thanks for the question. On Windows it seems only a single click is needed for the import function to complete itself. On the Mac, it appears you need to click once to bring the canvas "back in focus" before the import can be completed.
I'll be sure to to make Peachpit aware of the ommission and have it posted on the Updates page at the Peachpit site.

Why do I have to click twice? How can I fix this?

I am trying to switch to Mac. Easier said than done!
Anyhow, my complaint is that you must click on a background window (i.e. one that does not have focus) simply to GIVE it focus. My click otherwise does nothing. This is annoying to no end for a long-time Windows user like myself. If I click on a background window, specifically because I want to click a button on that window, then clicking on that button, even while it is in the background, should trigger the button! Yes, it is just a second click once the window has focus to activate the button, but it gets worse!
Take Firefox for example. Frequently, I will click on a tab to switch to that webpage. But often Firefox does not have focus, usually because I have an IM window off to the side that I have just been using. Often the fact that Firefox has lost focus is not obvious to me. So when I click on the Firefox tab, nothing obvious happens. So I click again to actually select the tab. I use an add-on in Firefox that allows me to close a tab by double-clicking it. I've worked this way for years and it works well for me. So when I click a tab, it does nothing, and then I click again, it actually 1.gives focus to Firefox, and then 2.interprets my second click as the end of a double-click action. It closes my tab! How annoying. Firefox doesn't get the first click, but it gets the second click in the form of a double click. I find that I am slowed down quite a bit by this sort of behavior, because even if I thought it was logical, there is no way to click twice in quick succession in order to mean 1.give the application focus, and 2.click on what's under the cursor, because it gets interpreted as a double click. I find myself purposefully waiting a few seconds after each click to make sure it's not interpreting everything as a double click. I really wish there were a preference to change this behavior. Can anyone help? Thanks...

Hmmm! Well, you can close, minimize, or resize windows with a single click. Additonally, CMD-click on the title bar reveals its path. Otherwise, that's about it. For the most part, windows in the background are usually mostly covered, so accessing them requires getting their focus and making them the front-most. For switchers, I recommend:

Why do I have right click to open safari?

Safari icon is in my dock. But I have to right click it to open safari. I do not have to right click to open anything else in my dock.

Delete com.apple.dock.plist
Click on an empty spot on the Desktop to activate Finder.
Hold the option key down and click”Go” menu in the menu bar.
Choose “Library” from the drop-down.
Library > Preferences
Look for com.apple.dock.plist
Right click on it and select “Move to Trash”.
Restart the computer. Try launching Safari.

Whenever I click on my safari window, the dock and the bar at the top of the screen disappears, nothing is working, please help!

It only happens on Safari. I have checked the Dock isn't checked for automatically hide and show, it's just really bothering me! Safari is also not in full screen, it is the same size it has always been.

That bar you refer to is the "Menu Bar" with File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, Tools, Help. The "Navigation Toolbar" contains the location bar (/address bar) and navigational toolbar buttons like back/forward.
To restore the menu bar use "Alt" to bring up menu bar temporarily then View > Toolbars > (check) Menu bar, and suggest you put tabs bar back to bottom of top toolbars instead of on top. This is items #2 and #3 in the following and you had better read about back/forward changes in item #5 using right-click instead of drop-down.
You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].

In the Google topic box, why do I have to click in it even thoght the cursors is in it blinking?

On the Google start page, which I have Mozilla defaulted to, the cursor is in the topic box area. So when I type nothing happens until I click inside the box, then I can start typing. This started being an issue in 3.6 for me. Is there any fix or setting to eliminate this annoying extra work type thing?

When I minimize ff with several tabs I can maxamize the one I was on straight away but any other one I have to click twice, why?

when I minimize my ff with several tabs it goes to my task bar with a number of shadows equal to the tabs I have opened if I mouse over it I get small previews of the tabs open and I can open the one I was on last straight away but if I click on any other I get a beep and then nothing so I have to do the same thing again before it will open to a different tab, why?

Odd thing when ff is maximized and I go to the preview in the windows task bar I can click on any tab and it will open right away it's only when ff is minimized that I have to click twice. fyi I have tab previews checked and I have tried to unset it the reset it to see if that would help but no go.

Firefox 4 constantly can't find Server. Have to click twice on everything.

I just downgraded from version 4 back to 3 because version 4 would constantly go to Server not found when going from web page to web page. On social networks like facebook, Playing Zynga games I have to click twice on everything for it to take hold. Also going from page to page in a game on FB I'd get the connection timed out constantly.

Yahoo and Gmail both support POP if you wish.
All modern email systems are Imap (because it supports multiple and mobile devices)
I do not recommend POP under any circumstances, it can not be synchronized so unless you do not use Mobile devices at all (iPhones etc) it is useless.
Yahoo users (search this site) have endless problems and Gmail is highly non-standard. Expect a learning curve for that one.
Are you short of server space, why do you need to do this rather retrograde step?

I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
Here's how to do both:
Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop. Maybe you don't want that.
You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

Why do I have to click the mouse so hard?

Why do I have to click the mouse so hard? Whether I'm using a Bluetooth or a wired mouse, I find I have to click really hard to make it work when selecting text (in any application). This is not good for my wrist. Is anyone else experiencing this?

two types: an old and excellent Apple wired mouse (not mighty) and a Bluetooth mouse (not mighty).

Why do i have to click emails in, all mail, important, inbox, folders?

In my thunderbird account I have inbox, important, all mail, and several folders I have created. Why do I have to click on the same email in all folders? If I look at it in my inbox it should clear as read in all categories, but thunderbird makes me click on each folder and then find each email to stop it from showing as un-read.

I had looked at and thought to do that in the past, but the gmail tab is grey'ed and as such I didn't think I could do that. Your comments made me think it was possible and I needed to find the way and clicked on it. Then out pops the folders under gmail and click, click, click... and no more folders.
Thanks.

Have to click twice to do anything

I have a macbook pro running OS X and I have to click twice to get it to recognise a single click.

One possibility to consider is third party software, including - but by no means limited to - mouse software.
Does this annoying behavior persist for a different user, e.g., Guest?
Does this annoying behavior persist when starting up in Safe Mode?
