Why double tap to open something? can't you just single tap?
I have just bouht an ipod touch four for my son. I seems to have to double tap everything to opn up a screen. Is this right? The voice over telling me I have to double tap is annoying. I think it simply isn't responsive enough. Is there a problem with it? My daughter has a gen three and you only have to single tap. and yes aI am a techno novice!!!
You need to turn off voice over. Go to Settings>General>Accessability and turn off voice over.
Yu can also turn it off by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and going to the Summary pane for theiPOd in iTunes and clicking one Configure Univerdsal Acess and turn Voice Over off.

there is no way to move text freely to the position you want. Am I missing something..or you just can't do it?
I use FCP X with Lion and, after clicking the little icon with the four dots in the lower left corner of the viewer window, I can move my titles and text. I noticed, however, that I cannot click and drag from just anywhere on the viewer screen, but I have to click in the smaller rectangle surrounding the text. Just to make sure I don't miss it, I usually just click on a letter in the text and drag the text block to where I want it. That's probably just a habit from programs I have used in the past that require that. I think you guys got it right ... just need to get close to the text for it to work. Of course, it goes without saying you also need to select the text clip first.

I'm a new Mac user and am finding my way slowly around it. One question: why is a new user account created every time I upload files from my old PC?
Because you're using the Migration Assistant, and it can't migrate data to an existing user account. Transfer everything at once or use a different method.

64bit why can't you just compile 32bit apps into 64bit
The only changes that I know right now between 64bit and 32bit is the length on an int and long. Can someone please explain to me why they can't just re-compile the code as 64bit?
Who's 'they'?
Lots of code implicitly assumes within the code itself that pointers are a certain size. The code that's relatively better written and doesn't assume things like that works just fine with a recompile. You can't recompile Skype, though, since there's no source code available.

So many times i get this in the title bar "not responding", avg pops up and say's there is a of memory being used like 270mb by facebook, i use pop up blockers, do not track me add ons anything to speed page loading, I repeatedly get different script msg pop ups, it's angering me so much just trying to surf facebook! If i click on a link, to go off of facecbook to read an article it takes for ever for all the crap to load banner adds or what have you that I don't know what to do, then I goto your help section and its like geesh I have to be a IT dude to figure all this out. I gave up IE many years ago because of security reasons, came to firefox and loved it, but anymore its a battle. Can someone there make a easy way to fix all this crap? Thank You
Click the Firefox button on the top left and click Add-ons. ...
Search for an ad-blocking add-on, such as Adblock Plus. It does a great job of removing the annoyances from your Web browsing, and it comes with absolutely no configuration needed to begin working.

How to view system resources, double tap on links in second monitor issue.
I'm new to macs and so far so good. I've spent the last few days playing with my new macbook and leopard religiously to get aquainted. Couple of things i can't seem to get the answers to.
1.) Is there something in macos where i can check out the status of my system resources like processor and ram usage? Like in windows it's called the "task manager".
2.) I have an external monitor connected as an expanded desktop, it's located to the right of the macbook main screen. In the right, external screen, when i double tap anything in firefox, the box that shows up is on the left, macbook, screen. Anything you guys have encountered?
Thanks a lotHello,
1.) Is there something in macos where i can check out the status of my system resources like processor and ram usage? Like in windows it's called the "task manager".
Use /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor
2.) I have an external monitor connected as an expanded desktop, it's located to the right of the macbook main screen. In the right, external screen, when i double tap anything in firefox, the box that shows up is on the left, macbook, screen. Anything you guys have encountered?
I think this is an issue Firefox team should fix, please report to them. Why double tap ? most links on web page works with a single click, maybe you should try. -
we recently after a long, long, long time waiting finally got the 8.1.1/Denim update for the Icon on Verizon and the only thing that seems to be missing is the the double tap to wake feature. Os version 8.10.14219.341 and firmware revision version 02540.00019.15024.38022.
Is there a diffference in hardware between the 930 and the Icon that explains why double tap to wake is not available? Do we need an update to the Touch app? Do we need a firmware update to enable double tap to wake? Or is it because of some other reason?
thanks for any infoThe Double tap to wake feature is currently not supported by the Lumia Icon. If you're all wondering if this will be supported in the future, we cannot confirm at this moment. It is best to regularly check our websites for official announcements: Microsoft Global and Lumia Conversations.
BTW, here's an article with the list of supported features for each phone's model: FAQ - Which features does my Lumia phone support? Regardless of your location, you can use this as your reference. Hope you'll find this helpful. -
Why do certain applications open automatically
why do certain applications open automatically?
If you're using Lion, and the apps open automatically when you start up/log in, it's down to one of two things. Either
a) you had the application open when you shut down last time, or
b) you have that application set to open automatically.
If you don't want (a) happening, either quit the application completely before you shut down, or turn off all app resuming through System Preferences - General - untick "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
If the apps re-open even if you quit them before shutting down, check System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items. Delete any programs from the list that you don't want auto-launching when you log in.

Why can't you post direct links to the full installers?
Not a tough question:
Why can't you just post direct links to the full installers instead of forcing people to sign up for "Distribution" EVERY DAMN RELEASE!?!?
Why do I have to fill out that form and wait a day after EVERY, SINGLE, RELEASE just to update more than one system? I have 150,000 nodes to upgrade. Why does Adobe go out of their way to make this difficult? Why the hell don't you inform people who already signed up about the new installers BEFORE they go to auto-update so system administrators could actually distribute them beforehand?
How could this possibly be a good thing for Adobe? I just had 50,000 nodes try to upgrade on their own, ALL OF THEM failed. That's 750 GIGABYTES of bandwidth you just wasted Adobe, yours and mine.
No more Flash updates I guess. There is no reason this has to be so terrible.The download links for the offline installers are posted multiple times in this forum every day: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header
And if you have signed up for a distribution license, you can always go directly to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html for your corporate downloads. There is really no need to sign up again. -

Why do I have to double-tap my messages to get them to open??
When checking my email, I have to double-tap each message to get it to open. WHY?? Just started doing this today!!
Thanks! Problem solved. I've had an iPhone for two years and never noticed that feature of iOS. Somehow, my son must have stumbled on it.
Apple, if you're peeking in on this, please put someone to work on making that feature more useful. There is no (obvious) way to scroll menus! Also, you should add a Voice Over command to disable that mode. -
HT4623 my phon when i double tap, my apps do not jiggle and i can not remove my open ones
downladed to io7, and now when i double tap to close, my open apps, they do not jiggle and i can not x them out
Force closing apps changed in iOS 7.
Reading the User's Guide would have revealed this.
Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar.
Swipe UP on the card to force close the app. -
