Can't right-click in column view anymore within finder

I've been using macs for ages and this is something I have always done, for some reason recently I have not been able to right-click on files or folders in finder when in column view. If I switch to list to icon view, even cover flow, it works fine. I can also right-click items on desktop and several other places. This is frustrating for me because column view is my preferred method of navigating in finder and it's constantly interupting my workflow recently, not sure if its a bug or a setting but I've been driving myself crazy trying to find a solution.
Any idea what this could be?

  • ITunes - Can't right click in Column View

    iTunes 11 and confirmed on two computers
    Can some check me on this? I'm nearly 100% certain that I used to be able to right-click on Albums or Artists inside a Columns view (while in Songs mode). I can no longer do this, but can right click on Genres or other parent categories in the other modes (Genres, Albums, etc.)
    I fell like this is a bug and not an intentional feature removal.
    Thanks.

  • Can't right-click in eyeglass view with IE 7

    When using the eyeglass icon to view topics in my project, I
    used to right-click the mouse and select Back to navigate between
    various links. Since IE 7 was installed on my computer, when I am
    in that view and right-click the mouse, nothing happens. Any
    suggestions?

    I couldn't say why RoboHelp is behaving this way for you, I
    have IE 7 (using RH X5) and can still right-click and choose Back.
    You should also be able to just hit the Backspace key to navigate
    backwards as well.

  • Can't right click and drag clips anymore?

    I recently started using version 3 and I can't get the right click and drag to work in multitrack view. I can't remember if it ever worked in this version, but it seems like these two things coincided. Am I missing something? Or could this be a different problem? I've checked and double checked, none of the clips are locked in time. All I wanna do is move files around!

    Out of the four possible cursors in MV, you need to use the first one (the Hybrid tool) if you want to right-click and drag.

  • Downloaded new version yesterday and can't right click open in new tab bookmarks now...

    Since I downloaded ner version yesterday, I can't right click on a bookmark and open in new tab like I could before. What's up with that?

    I went to view > column browser > and artists, group compilations and use album artists are all checked.
    Then I go to search and pull together an album compilation example "VH1 Top 100" highlight them all, click get info, I have "various artists" under "album artists" under "album" is "VH1 Top 100" and mark them as compilations. Go back to my album listing grid with artwork and they are all still scattered out. I must be leaving something out, but they were fine before I downloaded new itunes ?
    Thanks again for help.

  • I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26.

    I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26. The only thing my iTunes for PC will not display the column view of songs any more  The only thing I have access to is the view that displays the album covers. I used the Help function, followed the procedure several times.  When I click on the music icon, the icon flashes, but does not bring up a menu as shown in the "help" file.

    1) reset the iPad. Hold power home button until screen goes black, apple logo appears-release
    2) delete the app, reinstall.
    3) wait for an update to the app

  • No right click on icon view

    The right click doesn't work in the finder in mosaic view. When I use list view there is no problem. But I've always liked the mosaic view, but now I have to switch to list view to enable the right click for compressing or sending my files or anything. I think is a problem in finder and is not related to the mouse. I also have a wacom tablet (usb wired) an the pen and mouse behaves the same way. Anyone else with the same problem or was just my installation?

    If you select that right-click context menu entry then you block all images from that domain and not one specific image, so do not use that.
    * Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions (e.g. sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Can I right click on the iPad

    Is there any way to simulate a right click in Safari on an iPad?

    I'm in Safari and want to right click the page so I can View Source like on a PC. I tried holding down my finger and it    just highlights the first word on the page and allows you to copy or define the word. Similarly, if I see an image I want to download or copy I can't right click it.

  • Desktop - Icons Disappeared, Can't Right-Click

    Hello,
    I installed Leopard about a week ago (installed right over; not fresh install) onto my MacBook Pro, and everything was working fine until yesterday: all the icons on my Desktop (Macintosh HD, various folders and documents) disappeared, and I can't right-click/control-click the Desktop. I can still access the Macintosh HD and other files and folders through Finder, I just can't seem to get them to show up on the Desktop anymore. I'm fairly new to Macs in general, so I don't know if this is a feature that I accidently turned on or is this a bug or..?
    Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?
    Regards,
    Derek

    I ran into the same thing, did an upgrade on my MBP, a week later my desktop icons disappeared. I ended up downloading the trial version of Cocktail (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php). Under Ineterface-->Finder-->"Hide the desktop" was checked. I must have accidentally done this but did not know how to undo it. Hope this helps.

  • Can't right click on my desktop. Files/Folders are also disappeared

    The subject explains pretty much the situation.
    The last days, I can't right click on my dekstop. Right click works on any other icon/app etc of course.  At the same time, files/folders that I have in desktop, and I can see them through finder, are not displayed. However, if I login with the guest account, the problem is not reproduced.
    Any ideas?
    (I have a new macbook pro 13 retina display, running 10.9.1)

    Sorry for the inconvenience.
    It seems that there was a problem/miss configuration with an external program I installed (path finder).
    Resolving this now

  • Cannot auto size columns in iTunes 10.4.  Columns are all mixed up with headings I have never seen. Cannot change by right clicking on columns.

    Cannot auto size columns in iTunes 10.4.  Columns are all mixed up with headings I have never seen. Cannot change by right clicking on columns. Cannot order albums alphabetically by double clicking on heading.

    Very many thanks to you, Putaro!  Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
    You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
    But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
    I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
    I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
    If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
    My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!
    -Jon

  • I can not right click "open in new tab" nor open in new window, in my bookmark file.the bookmarks are all there, but I have to open a tab first then left click to open an item. Why can't I right click? The options are there, but not highlighted/clickable.

  • Can you right click on ipad 2 and if so how

    can you right click on ipad 2 and if so how

    You can't. If you are on, for example, Safari then pressing and holding an image or text should give you options e.g. save image (to the Photos app). What are wanting to achieve, and in which app ?

    John, I know that you are upset with that change dating from CS4. But AFAIK, it is possible to write an action that goes around the problem. Very, very few users change those two settings, you can add a warning about it. You repeat it so often it sounds like a core function of Photoshop everyone uses is broken.
    In this very case, I would have liked to get a prompt similar to the one we get on a mac trying to use CMD+H that is used by the system, but is an historical shortcut in Ps.
    The only way to create actions that will always work correctly isi to take advantage of the bugs in the implementation of the options. If there is a active selection the option ADD MASKS be DEFAULT  has no effect there will always be a MASK added.  And If you record adding adjustment layer using the Layer menu and check clip the previous layer in the new adjustment layer dialog the adjust layer will always be clipped.  Knowing about the faults in the implementation of the option one can edit all old action and re-record the ADD adjustment layers steps to always have an active selection and Clip then configure the Clipped and  masked adjustment the way the want.  New Actions need to be recorded  to take advantage of the faults also.  However if Adobe fixes the faults in the implementation of the option one again actions will be broken.  The two options should be removed. Thankfully if the option are left at their default setting Photoshop works as designed.  Action will play back correctly.  Yes I repeat it often and will. Adobe should fix bugs. Adobe should also not code wrong behavior for the ESC key either.   Adobe is shooting Photoshop in the foot. Sometimes I thinf Adobe has a death wish...

  • Can't right-click in inbox

    I'm trying to use Mail on a new MacBook and there's one odd quirk that's killing me. I can't right-click messages in my inbox (or any other folder, for that matter.) I can control-left-click and get the menu for the item I'm clicking, but right-click does nothing. Is this "normal" behavior? I used Mail once before (it's been awhile, I've never liked Apple's Mail app much) and don't remember having this problem, but that was probably Tiger, or even earlier.

    This would seem likely to be a more general issue with the mouse, and not Mail -- right-click works fine for me for this purpose. Does the right-click do the same as Control-click(L) in other situations? What type of mouse is it?
