Why do i have to click twice?

[kidwithdimples]

This problem started recently.... I don't know why.

Let's say you have iTunes open and you have Spaces & Expose enabled and you are in a different space. When I click (single click) on the iTunes dock icon... iTunes window don't appear in the screen? At the top bar... it shows iTunes..File...Edit..Control..View.. etc

I have to click twice on the dock icon to get the window to appear in the screen. Before I just clicked once and the window came right up.

I didn't install any apps recently.

When you say you have iTunes open at the beginning of this... is it...

- Hidden
- Minimized
- On another Space
- Or did you close the window (red ball in the UR corner)

It's not only for iTunes. It's for every other apps I have on my dock. The iTunes is on another space, maximized.

Clicking it once should bring up the application window but it doesn't. I need to click twice as in tap the trackpad once and once more.

I just did this with my iTunes. I clicked once on the iTunes icon in the dock. It zoomed to Space #1. Maybe your graphic card is old? Or the trackpad is too dirty to recognize taps?

Have you recently restarted?

I once had the same problem, but a good old restart solved the problem.

Go to System Preferences, Expose & Spaces, and then go to the Spaces tab. At the bottom, check the box that says, "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application." That should work.

Thanks! That worked for me. I was going crazy for the last week trying to figure it out. I just can't figure out how the option changed to unchecked. Haven't opened system preferences in forever.

Worked in Lion too

Didn't have this problem at all until OSX Lion...was driving me crazy...this worked for Lion too, but you have to select Mission Control to find the same checkbox.
