Why must I now click my trackpad twice?

I've had a number of problems after installing Yosemite. One is that when I click on a drop-down item in the main Finder navigation, the first click of my trackpad seems to "release." I have to click a second time to take action. Anyone got a suggestion as to what I'm not doing right?
Other problems after installing Yosemite have included booting only to reach a gray screen with the cursor in the upper left corner ... that's as far as it got. I've also had my screen images become something like a pixel puzzle ... rips, tears, and disintegration. I've done clean installs and reloaded content from a Time Machine backup and that has mostly, but not completely, resolved the problems. These problems, including the need to click twice described above, have occurred on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Leroy!
Appreciate the suggestion. Apologies for the delay in responding. I did create a guess account, logged in, and the problem with the "double click" required on my trackpad DID NOT appear.
Now what do I do? I'm still having the problem in my own (administrative) user account. Any more suggestions?
Thanks, Michael

When I click on apps in Creative Cloud (via taskbar icon) it shows only Photoshop CC as installed and Lightroom as something to be installed! I already have LR 5.7 installed and this has been updated through CC. I dont understand why it's now showing as it needs to be installed!?!? It wasn't like this the last time I looked.

Hi,

Why can't I use the trackpad to change users?

I have a June 2009 MBP. I updated to Maverick's recently, although my problem dates back to Lion. When I log out to change users the trackpad does not allow me to click on another user. The mouse will respond to the movement, but when you try to tap or click on another user to log in it does not work. My magic mouse also doens't work at all once I log out. Right now I keep an old USB mouse handy just for switching users.
Any thoughts on why this happens or how I can fix it?

When login screen appears, try to hard click the trackpad to register the click.
Tap to click will be only enabled after you login.
Best.

Janieburmy,
You can always deauthorize all your machines from your store account page — just log in and view your account settings and there's a button to deauth all your machines. Which just means for the other machines, it will ask you for your store ID / password the next time you play a purchased song.
So, let's try the filter experiment.
On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Class. Click
Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
Delete the key named LowerFilter.
Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.
Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.
I'm particularly interested in getting rid of the "AFS2K" driver in the chain — that's a old driver from a company that hasn't existed in years.
To answer your last question, why am I doing this?... I'm paying off a karmic debt. And someday we'll start that Tequila for Toonz paypal account and then I'll be set.

Why must I give an updated Credit card for an update on an app I already purchased? I have no outstanding balance.

Why must I gave an updated Credit card for an update on an app I already paid for? Are they trying to charge me again? I have no balance and I am not purchasing any new apps.

They aren't charging you twice. They just want you to verify your security code and expiration of your credit card. Better to make sure you personal info is correct then have a stranger try using your account.
From the iTunes menu bar click Store / View My Account then click: Edit Payment Information.
Make sure all the data is available then click Done.

Double-click and trackpad

right now, i enable double-click to drag any window in OSX
so if i double-click on the window title, it should allow me to drag the window, but instead it miminize it, so what is the correct way of double-click and drag?
btw, is there way i can simulate middle-click using trackpad?

well
of course i did check that before making this post
but i just can't get the dragging to work with double-tap
plus there is no middle-click simulation
is there any hack to simulate middle-click on trackpad?

Why doesn't Skype Click-to-call work on Windows 8.1?

Why doesn't Skype click-to-call work anymore? I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now when I click on a highlighted phone number it asks "Which app should I use" or some such microsoft text. But no application is listed. Apparently it does not work from within Firefox (I have the latest version). And I can no longer find a Skype Click to Call application or extension in Firefox. Do I need to use another browser or is there a fix for this?

Hey ran
Sorry to hear you are having probloms
I currently have skype click to call installed with firefox and windows 8.1 up to date. I would advise you to re-install skype and its click to call addon and see where it gets you
hope this helps

Why, when I right click on a file am I only given the CS6 option to open in?

Why, when I right click on a file am I only given the CS6 option to open in? Before installing the CS6 "cloud" programs I would be given an option to open in any software or version that would be an appropriate program to open the file. If I want to open a jpg in Photoshop CS5 so I can use the plugins that I have not yet installed in CS6 I can only open it by opening Photoshop CS5 and open it through the Photoshop dropdown.
I am working in Windows 7 professional. I am subscribed to the CS6 "cloud" annual subscription.

If I have to go to the trouble to open in bridge I might as well open Photoshop CS5, browse to the file and open it. My point is, before CS6 I could simply right click on a file in its folder and have the option to open it in any program that it could be opened in. Previously it would give me the options for past versions. Now a PSD only gives me the option of Photoshop CS6 even if it was created in CS5. This is also happening with InDesign files and Illustrator files. Quite an inconvienence, especially in the transition period.

It is part of the regular Quicktime.
You get more options with Pro.
Open Quicktime Player.

Select a file, right click and select *Open with*, then select iTunes.
Tick *Always use this application* (or whatever is says).

Hello All,
Maybe you have had this issue with other OS X upgrades, but I'm being prompted to log in twice to my MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite (2014 model).
I've upgraded to Yosemite, from Mavericks, without any issues, until I noticed that after turning my computer on and logging in the first time, I see a progress bar load.....then the screen goes black, I hear the restart sound, then the same login screen appears for a second time.
I then enter my credentials a second time, see the progress bar load (a little faster this time), them my desktop appears like normal.
I've read some other, older, posts for older OS X builds but none of them addressed the issue completely.
I've turned OFF filevault, to decrypt my HD, restarted and things seemed okay (1 log in request only). So I turned filevault back on, and the first time I logged in, it worked fine (1 log in request only). However, now, after powering off the computer, I'm back to where I started....2 log in requests before my desktop loads properly.
I don't have the time out setting on "to request password after 60min". I don't have auto login enabled nor parental controls
Filevault is on and my drive is encrypted. No special software loads, just the factory basics...
Any insights or suggestions?

Why is ituned downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

Does the iPod work fine now?
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
