Lost the double tap feature.  How can I reset?

After a loss of power when I restarted I lost a magic button function.  I used to be able to type slightly twice (not enough to click on the button) to simulate a single click (a full press). I can't find how to reset this option in preferences. How to restore tap double light (not click forced cushion)?

It is controlled via the mouse or Trackpad preferences. However, a loss of power can damage the HARD drive, so I would like to do the following:

  1. Use disk utility to repair permissions and the HARD drive.
  2. Reinstall OS X.

Fix the hard disk and permissions

Boot from your Snow Leopard installation disc. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the button continue. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu. After that the charges of THE select your entry from hard drive (mfgr. ID and car size) in the list on the left.  In the status area, you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is faulty or has failed. (State SMART is not reported on external drives Firewire or USB). If the drive is "verified", then select your OS X volume in the list on the left (subentries under the entry for the road), click the first aid tab, then click the repair disk button. If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, click repair permissions . Wait until the operation is complete, then exit FROM and return to the installer.

If THE reports errors, it cannot be resolved, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you do not have one of them or none of them can fix the disc, then you will need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS X.

If the disc is OK then leave FROM and return to the installer.  Proceed to reinstall OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a new copy of Mac OS X, the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, elements of support and network preferences in the newly installed system.

  • How to turn on the Double Tap feature on the mouse pad!

    Good so I used to be able to double tap on the mouse pad, click and I accidentally turned off somehow and I can't for the life of me understand how to re-enable it. Help please!

    In most cases, the controls for it are in the start menu / Control Panel / mouse.  Where varies by manufacturer (computer and mouse) so I can't help you there that you have not provided this information, and even if you don't I probably just refer to manufacturers of assistance.  But before you go watch, read the next paragraph.

    But it turns out that there is another way to set this feature.  Here is the procedure:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/40246-single-click-option.html.  It is quite simple and does not involve all the controls of the mouse (and can be changed back as you wish).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    It's a pretty good trick, considering that charmap.exe is one of the files that Windows File Protection is supposed to protect.

    Do a full disc search for charmap (without extension), making sure to look into the hidden files and system.

    If charmap.exe is not in C:\Windows\system32 (where it belongs), he probably is not in C:\Windows\system32\dllcache (where it also belongs).

    If you have a directory (which is common for systems with Windows) C:\i386 pre-installed, you should find charmap.ex_, which is a compressed version of the file.  You must use the EXPAND command from a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK) to decompress:

    Expand c:\i386\charmap.ex_ c:\windows\system32\charmap.exe
    copy c:\windows\system32\charmap.exe c:\windows\system32\dllcache

    Don't forget the space before the c:\ at two locations in two lines

    You will also find the charmap help files in C:\i386 and can expand those as well if necessary.  The expanded files should reside in C:\windows\help
