Feb 24, 2015 8:57 AM in response to markanthonyhowellby braden85,Hey markanthonyhowell,
From the sound of your post, it seems like you cannot double-click your mouse to activate anything in OS X. Try using the information in the following article to help you adjust your double-click settings:

Feb 24, 2015 11:46 AM in response to braden85by markanthonyhowell,Thanks for this response... This article applies only to Mountain Lion, not Yosmite 10.10.2.... The directions for adjusting Magic Mouse in Mountain Lion are completely different from the menu for adjusting magic mouse in Yosemite.... This problem didn't exist before I downloaded Yosemite... Only then did the double-click on the Magic Mouse stop working... ... help.... kindly, Mark

PeripheralsYes, I noticed that too. Never did understand why our Community specialists could return info that may not apply. The suggested link clearly says Lion and If it applies to higher level OSs then it should specify them all. This problem with Yosemite is a nuisance. I suggest you send this back to Apple as feedback.

Sorry about sending the wrong article, here is the article that is appropriate to your question. The settings you are looking for can be found in System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse and Trackpad
OS X Yosemite: Mouse & Trackpad pane of Accessibility preferences

Feb 25, 2015 6:00 AM in response to braden85by markanthonyhowell,Dear Braden, your current response was equally unhelpful....
I did manage to access the mouse controls this time (through preferences>accessibility>mouse & trackpad) but once there I don't see any switch or any button that will turn my double-click mouse button back on....
I still cannot open any file or any icon on my desktop or anywhere by double-clicking my magic mouse, as I ALWAYS did before I downloaded Yosemite 10.10.2 for my Mid-2010 21inch screen iMac with 4GB memory.
I just need a solution - an easy straight way of turning on (again) the double-click button so I can open icons, files, and everything else as usual with my magic mouse...
Thanks, and hope I'm not annoying you by this... kindly, Mark

PeripheralsPlease. You aren't at all stupid, indeed you are progressing the matter very well. Softly softly, catchee monkey, they say It looks like Braden took my comments to heart (these people do try but with the number of participants nowadays, they must get chased about). Anyway, first follow his suggested link and if that does not resolve the matter, write to feedback. Be aware, they rarely if ever respond but they assure us they read everything.
At the bottom of this page you will see 'Contact us'. Click that and on the right hand side, towards the bottom of the page you come to, you will see a selection of feedback options. I would suggest Product Feedback.
Good luck.
