I just change the preference for accessibility (System Preferences)

but the problem is not solve!

the problem is not resolved even using the mouse tablet (wacom intuos 4 with the mouse)

Hello carlofromverdello,

Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

It is my understanding that you have a problem with the magic mouse and Tablet by double clicking on each time you press the left side.  I'd be happy to help you try to get this working as a simple click for you.

Given that you have tried the settings in the preferences system, without success, we need to know what is the cause of the problem.

The first thing I would do, it's what is on the backup computer. Nothing that I will propose should result in no data loss, but it's always a good idea to have a backup.  Your computer has software called Time Machine.  It is a fantastic software for backing up your computer.  Information on how to use Time Machine is available here:

Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

Once you have a backup, there are a few steps that isolate what is causing the problem.  They include the boot in safe mode and by testing in a new user account.  First of all, let's try safe mode.  Here's how to start the computer in safe mode:

  1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.
  2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
  3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.
  4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

The above information about safe mode can be found here:

OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

If the problem does not occur in safe mode, there is something being started during a regular startup that is causing the problem.  To resolve this problem, try to remove elements of connection and put into service.

OS X El Capitan: items open automatically when you connect

If the problem still occurs in safe mode, then you will want to test to a test user.  Instructions for this procedures are found here:

How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

If the problem does not appear in the test user account, then there is something in the original user account that is the cause of the problem and probing is needed to determine the cause.

See you soon!

  • A double click of files no longer works.

    As I installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my MacBook Pro, there are a lot of files that I can not open more using double click. I tried to change the double-click settings in the preferences panel, and by assigning a specific application for opening each type of problematic file using the button 'Open with' in the information panel, nothing happens.

    I also tried to restart the computer, and I fixed the permissions of the main HARD drive. None of this has worked.

    What is curious, it's only by double-clicking on a file actually seems to start the application. The application icon bounces for a while, as if she was trying to open. But after seconds of bouncing icon, the icon 'block' is displayed (do not know the exact name of this icon - it's this formidable multicolor spinning I speak). The application icon bounces for a minute or more with the projection of icon "hang" and then the application closes (without any message about some crash) or I use "Force quit" to close.

    At the present time, I have to open the app for files that don't work ( Word files .doc and .docx, Preview for .jpg, .tiff, .png, and .gif files, Safari or another web browser for .html and .url files) to make them work. It goes same for my photo files RAW (.pef), which won't open in Capture One Pro more when you use the double click.

    I have not tried other image far files

    It is, it prevents the newly installed applications to open as well. Today, I tried to open a demo app I downloaded a third party developer (i.e., not Apple), and its icon tossed around for a minute before he quit. I did not yet have the window with the message "you are about to open an app from a [...]', asking if I want to open the file or not.

    Everyone knows about this problem? More important, nobody knows how to fix?

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I tried to find some more information on the issue throughout the day, looking in the forums, websites, etc. I couldn't find anything on this issue.

    I was about to give up, but I decided to reboot once more, just to see if it would change anything. Seems the restart was once again the key to success. Perhaps refreshing memory has been the key to solve the problem.

    Detective Conan, I hope.

    Hello

    The double-click feature applies from the lock screen, not the home screen.

    To check that it is always enabled, go to: settings > portfolio & Apple pay > check that double click on the home page button is enabled.

  • Dictionary by double clicking on a word in the text don't work at IOS 10

    Since yesterday I installed IOS10 in my iPad Pro, when I read an e-book and I double click on a Word, there is no option. I closed the application and he straightened, closed the iPad and turned back on and the problem persists. In iBooks, the screen looks like not sensitive at all. Little help? Thank you.

    I never did the path of double click. I always slightly pressed a Word to select it, which then pulls up the menu (looks like they changed the definition to look it up). It works for you? By slightly pressing on one word as you would if you start to highlight a line and then let go as soon as the Magnifier window appears?

  • Double click on the ios10 lock screen does not display Apple pay even if it is enabled in the settings

    Double click on the ios10 lock screen does not display Apple pay even if it is enabled in the settings.

    Hello JPMain,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. I understand Apple pay is not an option when the double click the Home button. I know access pay Apple for a locked screen can do so useful everyday. I'm happy to help you to get this resolved with you.

    I recommend first restart your iPhone. This can solve many unexpected behaviours. Follow the steps below if necessary.

    1. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
    3. Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If the problem persists, the next option would be to reset all settings. It takes all the defaults, including passwords and Wi - Fi networks, alerts, notifications, brightness, wallpaper and sounds. This will also remove your cards Pay of Apple. Even if no content is lost with this step, it is always a good idea to back up first. If you do not have a recent backup, use the following link for assistance if necessary.

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Once you have correctly saved, reset all settings in settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

    Have a great day!

  • To edit a cell, Numbers Help said to double-click on the cell

    To change the contents of a cell, Numbers Help said double-click the cell to do the insertion point appears, then enter.

    I can double click on a cell, constantly, but rarely the insertion point appears.

    How can I make it work every time?

    Try adjusting the double-click speed in system preferences > accessibility:

    In general, I double click at a rate that is roughly 5 clicks per second. If you are double clicking too slow then numbers can interpret this as two simple clicks rather than a single double click event.

  • message address cannot by double click

    Yesterday, I could add a recipient to a message by double clicking on the name of the address book. Today, I can't. I think I got a new version of Thunderbird on a day or two ago, worm 38.4.0 maybe it's when the problem appeared. I can always send messages by right-clicking on the name and selecting (Cc or Bcc) or type it. What should I do to get the double click to start working again?

    Thank you, tumbleweed49

    I just wanted you to know I found and fixed the problem. Under the mouse in the control center, Double click has been set completely in the short. It flies over the mid- and everything works fine.

    Thank you, tumbleweed49

  • Double click on the Home button does not show open applications?

    Why not double click on the Home button shows my open apps? I have an iphone 6Plus, and I want to close some applications that do not work properly.

    Try a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose anything. And then try to click double fast to access the app selector window. Note that these applications are not open. May be best to remove the apps and reinstall, but try the above first.
