Need to right click a Mighty Mouse
I'm used to right clicking my mouse. I just got a new iMac and find the lack of right clicking ability most distressing!!!
Hello,
Check that you have "Secondary Button" set on the right hand side of your mouse:

TS3048 Right click on Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard are not working
I have a 24" iMac, early 2009 Lion,10.7.5. My wireless keyboard and mighty mouse are not working properly. Wireless keyboard- I can turn it on and it will ask me to pair it with the Blue Tooth. I cannot log the numbers in - I even tried logging them in with my wired keyboard device (which is an Apple keyboard).
My Mighty Mouse's right click stopped working as well.
I have gone through all of the troubleshooting steps-
New Batteries - Cleared Blue tooth preferences list, repaired permissions, Cleared cache, Made sure that the settings were correct ex: key was not checked on mouse, Removed both devises (keyboard, and mouse) from blue tooth and allowed them to be discovered again, PRAM reset, Hardware check/ reset, and lastly, Reinstall of OSX.
I am still having the same issue with both devices.
Thank you.This is why you should always have a wired keyboard and mouse as backups.
Try smc and hope for the best.
I'd also suggest pram reset but you need the keyboard for that. -
I can't right click wireless mighty mouse
My wireless mouse works fine on the powerbook but will not right click on my ImacG5 with 10.4.9
Is it likely to be due to incompatibilities. I crashed the finder with control click on a regular basis until I removed stuffit plugins from my contextual menu folders in library.
DavidHello David,
Try a firmware update for the iMacG5 and see if that solves the problem.
http://www.apple.com/support/keyboard/
Scroll down... on the right side of the page is has the download for the update:
Keyboard/Mouse Firmware Update 1.1.
Hopefully that will get your MM right clicking with your G5.

How would i go about right clicking?
Make sure that you are not touching the left side of the mouse when you press the right side.

Right-Click w/ Mighty Mouse issue
Alright, I set my mouse up right for the button being secondary and all that so that I can right click. However it only seems to work sometimes and on certain things. Is this normal? For example, when I right click a link in firefox it just opens the page. No right click menu. It drives me nuts. Or when I right click to try and copy highlighted text it won't do it. Grrr...
Any advice or is it just a bug?
SarahNevermind. It seems I have to click the very tip of the right side of the mouse. Not easy when you just want to click in the middle of the right side.

Why can I no longer send links to websites? Clicking File>Send Link doesn't work nor does right clicking on the mouse. Both worked prior to Firefox 6. I also can't send emails to websites that don't spell out their address but instead say "to send an email click here". Everything works fine in Chrome and Safari but not in Firefox.
OK well after first reverting to an older version of firefox to get my right click menu options back I have since discovered one way that works but at a cost.
By using the addon menu-editor it is possible to move the EMAIL LINK button from the file menu to the (Main Context Menu) ie the "right click menu" BUT you will loose the file menu button as there is no way to clone the button and only move a copy. Bunch of clowns that decided to do this I really don't know what they were thinking. Very VERY stupid move.
Here is a link to the only option that works https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
Can you fellows/chaps <!--buggers--> at least provide a clone and move option in the menu-editor? -
Windows XP Pro, SP3. Firefox 3.6.3. Ever since updating to this version a few weeks ago I can no longer do a right click of the mouse and check the properties of an active url link on webpages. I've always had the option before. I want this feature back!!!!
In Firefox 3.6 Properties has been removed from the right click context menu.
You can use ''View Image Info'' or ''View Page Info'' in the right click context menu to see the (image) properties.
You can use the above mentioned extension (Element Properties 6) to get that context menu item back.

How do I right click without a mouse?
How do I right click without a mouse?
If you don't like the two finger tap (I don't - it doesn't seem to work consistently) you can asign one corner as a right-click or simply use the control click with one finger on the bottom (which is what I do, usually - just a habit left over from the old days).

Cannot right click on wireless mouse after mavericks upgrade
cannot right click on wireless mouse after mavericks upgrade. please help!
Hey eedge520,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are unable to right-click with your mouse after updating. Let’s check your mouse preferences, as you can enable this behavior in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click > Secondary Click

Magic Mouse stops clicking randomly: need to right click desktop few times.
For some reason, randomly, my Magic Mouse will stop clicking/registering clicks (left or right/anything but movement) and I'll have to right click on the desktop 1-2 times for it to "come back to life"...it's very strange. I've tried readding it, etc. to no avail...?
I ended up here after experiencing the same problem (seemingly random and intermittent inability to scroll with Magic Mouse or trackpad when using Firefox) and searching Mozilla and Apple support forums. There are a few separate reports in both communities that refer to the issue seeming to exist only when using Firefox with a Magic Mouse. There are, of course, other threads that don't have that specific combination, but the original post is not a unique occurrence.
In my own case, I am experiencing this problem on two MacBook Pros. I did not have this problem until recently. Also recently I bought a Magic Mouse but have no idea how significant that is (the trackpad also becomes unresponsive on both machines). It does seem unlikely to be coincidence, but still could be, of course. Like most people now, I guess, I gave up manual updating of Firefox a while ago to spare myself the constant reminders and so I don't know what version exactly I had when this started but it is now 31.0 (although Firefox is just waiting for me to quit in order to update to 32.0).
If I quit and reopen Firefox, all is well for a while but then the problem returns. I can still scroll by dragging the scroller in the scroll bar (thankfully not completely gone, as yet) and appreciate the comment about using the up arrow and down arrow keys, which I hadn't thought to do. It seemed to be only one of my MacBooks for a few days, but now seems to be both. Somewhat bizarrely, while concluding this post, Firefox on both computers has resumed scrolling without, as far as I can recall, a restart. I'll aim to give an update after a day or two (as so many final posts say...)
