Why do I have to touch links twice on my Ipad 1?

I don't know what's going on or when it happened? But now I have to touch links twice in order to get things to open on my ipad1. For example. I go to a newspaper website, say www.mlive.com. The first time I touch a link to a news story it just highlights (underlines) the link. The second time I touch it, it actually takes me to the story. What is going on?

A long shot, but check the AssistiveTouch setting in Accessibility in the General settings and see if that perhaps got turned on. If it's on, try turning it off. If not, try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If that doesn't help, it's possible your iPad has developed a hardware problem, in which case it will have to go back to Apple.

Why do I have to open my docs on my ipad before I can download them on my macbook pro

Hi all
I have just started using iCloud. What I wanted to do is upload some docs and access them on my MacBook Pro later. I did this only to find that I couldent download the docs. Also the docs had a picture of the pages icon on the front. However I could download them on my ios devices. once I did, the pages icon disapeared and instead the document was a icon displaying the preview of the document.
My qusetion is: why do I have to download my docs on my iPad before I can download them on my MacBook Pro?

You can delete email before opening it. Now is a good time to read the manual, which will explain how.

Why do I have to click everything twice ?

When is Firefox going to fix this?
In every version after 3.6, I have had to click twice or "reload" the page. If I close the page and click again or reload the page, it immediately comes up.
It is not because of problems in my computer. I went into safe mode and disabled all add-ons and got the same result. It happens on 80-90% of the websites. There are a few sites that consistently load immediately but most I have to reload the page or wait for the page to load which can easily take 30 seconds to a minute.
I have a fast download of 28 and upload of 6. I have a clean computer, plenty of ram memory and have limited programs allowed to activate on start up. I usually have very few tabs open at a time. I've cleared cache and done all the usual things always recommended to do.
This is very frustrating and it has to have something to do with bugs in changes of versions since 3.6. That version worked perfectly. These latest versions up to the most recent update have been consistently more and more problems.

I'm with you RJ343, as an ex-software developer from the late 90's, I am appalled at the way Firefox has gone.... i recently upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 17 and it is disgusting the number of things that do not work,... and I have to LAUGH MY F**KING HEAD off when I hear geeks and nerds who are barely out of their cyber-nappies moan at me because I prefer 3.6 and they can't understand why i don't love the latest version... SIMPLES > because they are so full of bugs and workarounds and stupid add-ons I have to install just to go "back" to 3.6 and its glorious feature set that has since been ripped apart and hacked to smithereens and replaced with dodgy , sh*te alternatives that I'm supposed to adore ? Same with XP, I am still using it and will continue to use it until MS deliver something of quality that the users want, not what they want to force on me....
SO back to the topic -- I landed on this page because I have noticed that in FF17 I have to keep clicking everything TWICE, to get the page to load. It happens everywhere, it's as though the focus is not set properly, and the 1st click sets that, and then I have to click again to execute. Certainly I have just registered in order to write this post, I deem it that important, and now that I am , I will have to start replying and posting the myriad of other failures by FF development team in their latest versions,.... what I find the most insulting as I mentioned, is this indoctrination that I HAVE to use the latest versions over the old, tried & tested products like 3.6, because FF will withdraw support or add-ons stop working for the old versions. I wouldn't mind, if the new versions weren't such a croc of shoite and actually worked.
THIS BUG must be one of the most basic and incompetent of them all. Why do I have to bloody Double-click everything ??? !
''"3.6 was almost universally liked by everybody"'' - yes, because it was tried & tested.... obviously the latest generation of developers never heard of the old adage, "If its not broken, don't fix it"... and don't gimme all that crap about security vulnerability,.... that's just an extension of the War on Terror..... Fear is too widely traded for Functionality, and good solid TESTING , which seems to be a thing of the past. The software industry is in a crisis and soon there will be nothing that works and we will all hark back to XP and FF 3.6 as the golden age when software actually worked.

Sometimes have to click links twice in Safari to load a webpage

Does anyone else have an issue where you have to click links more than once to get them to open a page? What happens is I will click on a link in Safari and it will start opening a new page and then stop. It even happens with links in the Bookmarks Bar. Then if I click the link again it will go through. Any solutions to this?

I have this same problem, it just started a couple of weeks ago and now the majority of sites I visit require the double click. It doesn't matter whether they are in my favourites, returned from a search, or entered in the URL search box on Safari. It's really frustrating as I don't have the problem on my iphone for example if I click simultaneously on the link in favourites on my iPhone and my Mac - it's only a problem on the Mac.
Has anyone solved this?

Why do I have so many duplicate photos on my iPad?

Somewhere along the line, the photos that I have on my iPad 2 got duplicated and all the event names were removed.
I think this happened when I upgraded to Lion and iOS 5
If I connect my iPad to my iMac, and select the iPad, I don't see any duplicates of my photos on the iPad
If I look at all my photos on my iMac, I don't see any duplicates either.
Why do I have so many duplicates on my iPad (so I donb't do this again!) and is there a way to easily remove them (if I do happen to cause the duplication again!) ?
Regards,
Jim P.

Use iCloud or iTunes to back up your phone. Then go online and delete all contacts from backup assistant.(it keeps them in the trash.) Then reset your phone and reload from your backup, then use backup assistant or Verizon cloud. Sounds like a lot but it doesn't take long.

Why do I have to click links 2 or more times?

Since iOS 8 installed I am required to click links multiple times before I am able to complete the action. Sometimes I have to zoom in before it will take me to the desired link.

Why do I have to File Save twice before the Save menu is grayed out?

Open a file into Photoshop CC
Add a Levels layer
Click File>Save
The Save menu is still available when you click File. Doing another File>Save make the Save menu become grayed out (like it should the first time).
System info:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.1 20141014.r.257 2014/10/14:23:59:59 CL 987299 x64
Operating System: Mac OS 10.10.1 (the problem has occurred since Mac OS 10.8.x)
Thanks for any help.

I have OSX 10.10.1 and CC 2014.
So I will open a PSD with an adjustment layer.
I turn off and on the "eyeball" in the layers panel. It counts as a change.
If you look at your document tab, you see a star at the end of the filename. It shows you made changes to the file.
File > Save would remove that star and File > Save does dim on my Macbook.
If you are seeing it twice, the Preferences file may be corrupt. I suggest a reset.
Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
If that doesn't work uninstall/reinstall CC 2014 and updates'
Let me know how it went and mark the answer correct only if this solved your problem.

After new update, why do I have to click everything twice

Since the new update, mail is being difficult. When I try to delete something, it deletes what I click on & 1 to 2 othere messages.
Plus I have to click on just about everything twice to get it to do what I want. I rebooted machine but didn't help. So what now?

Try repairing your hard drive also your permission with disk utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1782 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452

Have to click links TWICE to go to the link...

Anyone else experiencing this? iMac G3, OS 10.4.11, Safari 3.2.1.... I'll be looking at a web page, and when I click on a link, the blue progress bar advances past "http://" then stops. I have to click on the link again to get the link to load. I've gone to "Reset Safari" and reset everything but cookies, autofill, icons, and saved names and passwords. Frustrating to say the least. I've been using Safari 3.2.1 for a while, but don't remember this happening until recently. Any cures?

Hi,
It sounds like it might be DNS related. You can test this by trying out the DNS settings provided by OpenDNS:

Why do I have to click delete twice to send emails to trash

When I try deleting my emails, if it sends it to trash I have to select all and delete TWICE. Sometimes I doesn't even go to trash and it sends all I've selected to delete back as incoming email! Very frustrating. I've checked my settings already under the advanced tab. It's taken me 2 days to delete email, section by section. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Is this a POP or IMAP account?
If you highlight one & use CMD+Delete, does that delete it?

Why do we have to delete mail twice?

I know that many, if not most, email apps put deleted email into a Trash folder, but almost all of the allow you to empty trash --- NOT go back to every message and delete it again....
Apple, it isn't like you guys to miss something this annoying and obvious....
Please help!

Select your trash folder. Tap "Edit". Tap the red "Delete All" at the bottom left.

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
HELP!!

Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

Why do I have to login twice after sleep mode?

Until recently I have been able to login one time with a password to get to my desktop. Now I have to login twice and I have no idea why. I am running Yosemite, whatever the newest version is. I'm not too tech savvy, but have checked every setting I can think of to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Just to be clear, it's not normal to have to log in twice when FV is on. If you want to try to solve that problem, ask for instructions.
