ultravista Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 For some unknown reason, I can no longer launch applications in the Application folder by double clicking. I must select the application then choose "open". Double click works on everything else however, all except those found in Applications. Yeah, this is an odd issue but bothersome none the less. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultravista Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 It's not a mechanical issue, the mouse works on Windows no problem. It works with OSX also, just won't open applications in the Application folder when double-clicking. It will however launch an application on the desktop, CD or other location.

Rammjet Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Open a finder window and right-click on the Applications folder icon. Select Get Info. On the bottom, see if your permissions are still set to Read & Write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jansan Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Ok. I read almost all the topics for homebrew macs, and all of those which had "mouse" in the topic. Here is the problem: Imagine MacOSX would be written in Java. Now imagine the onmouseover function didn't work. This is my problem. In other words, the dock doesn't magnify, the active corners do not work, i cannot use menu's with complicated trees (since you have to wait with the coursor over the menu to go further|). My story: I installed from Jas 10.4.7 sse2 dvd. Then upgraded with Jas 10.4.8 8.8.1 (beta9) kernel. Then I installed Titans kext ( i have nvidia geforce 5200), and edited some kexts (just added the dev id). At this time everything worked well. (QE/CI supported), but after i think second reboot, the moue issue appeared. So I replaced open gl framework, first with the one from te original apple update, then from jas's update. Then I replaced all frameworks (always using pacifist "install to default location"). I'm now trying all the options. but the problem persists. I would really appreciate help. And if there really is another thread about this problem, please excuse me, i really tried to stick to the rules. PS: can't believe how many people don't :censored2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themacmeister Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hi UltraVista! Does your double-click work in ICON view? and not in COLUMN view? Does your double-click work in iTUNES??? If so I have the same bug - trying to track down an answer now... themacmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
