Right-Click on an entry no longer works

All of a sudden when I right-click on an entry the drop down box to copy, paste, etc has vanished. Help! I used the calendar all the time and and this helps in the process. Thanks for all the help.

GoatMan1967,
Are there any items in those folders?
Can you gain access to contextual menus in other
applications? If not I suspect a corrupted contextual
menu item.
If other applications are unaffected, it may be
beneficial to find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in
your Macintosh
HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder,
drag it to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and
let us know what happens.
;~)
Okay moved the com.apple.ical.plist to desktip and restarted with no change.
Macintosh HD/System/Library/Contextual Menu Items
AutomatorCMM.plugin
FolderActionsMenu.plugin
SpotlightCM.plugin
Macintosh HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items
0 items
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Contextual Menu Items
No folder named this.
Still having problems only in Ical nothing else.
Thanks for trying!
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Installed snow leopard and the right click on my mouse no longer works. Any ideas?

I just replaced my hard drive and installed a clean copy snow leopard with all updates. The right mouse button (normal wired mouse that came with imac) with the menu drop down is no longer working. changed secondary button in mouse settings and got the right click menu but now when I right click the file or group of files are no longer highlighted. this *****. any ideas?? Between the hassle of replacing a hard drive, mouse problems, firefox, opera, office mac and elgato tv problems and issues im fed up.

Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse should give you controls over the mouse. If not, either Steer Mouse or USB Overdrive might give you better control.

Right-click finder context menu no longer works

When I bring up the context menu on any file/folder in my finder or desktop, none of the actions work - such as "Move to Trash", "Get Info", "Duplicate". In debugging I removed MagicPrefs, thinking it might issues with the mouse.
It works if I used shortcut keys, or drag files to the trash.
I'm not sure what changed recently - any help would be greatly appreciated.
-John

I'm able to bring up the menu (by right-click or control-click), all the options are enabled (nothing grayed out) ... when I choose any of them, nothing happens. No UI error, nothing in any of the logs I looked at.
I switched to a wire-mouse and got the same result. I used the track pad and got the same result.
Another observation - the labels do work, I can label a file some color and then remove it.

Why does File send link not work? Even right clicking on my mouse doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?

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  at least provide a clone and move option in the menu-editor?

When I right click on an entry in the bookmarks and select Open in Internet Explorer, nothing happens.

When I right click on an entry in the bookmarks and select Open in Internet Explorer, nothing happens. It does work when I am on a page , right click and select View this page in IE.

If you right-click the image and choose View Image Info, what shows as "Type"?
If it shows JPEG image, for example, make sure to save the file with a .jpg file extension. If you place quotation marks around the entire file name, e.g.,
"myfile.jpg"
then you can ensure that the name as the correct extension. Does that help?

When I right click the email link no longer shows up in the context menu in FF 16

Ever since I updated to FF 16 I no longer see the option to send an email link when I right click although it does still show up under file also I noticed my Speed Dial extension isn't working correctly with FF 16.

This change was a very bad idea. You've removed a very useful feature and replaced it with crap.
Please restore this feature to its original working condition.

Double Click on Magic Mouse No Longer Works after 10.9.1 Mavericks Upgrade

I just recently updated to Mavericks 10.9.1 and once the computer restarted, I noticed that double-click on my Magic Mouse no longer worked. I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone experiencing this. I also went into System Preferences --> Mouse but there is nothing about enabling double-click or adjusting double-click speed on there.
Would appreciate if someone were able to help me solve this. Thanks!

Try resetting the PRAM.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Right-click add to Playlist shortcut not working in iTunes 11.1

Since upgrading to itunes 11.1 I find that the right-click> Add to Playlist option is not working. I go through the steps but the selected song is never in the playlist I selected. The only workaround I found is to Edit the Playlist and then drag and drop songs to the playlist. Selecting songs from another already existing playlist? Forgot about it!
Is this a bug? Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? This is really annoying as this is how I built my playlists for years. Two days ago I spent a half hour right-click and adding to playlist only to find the list was empty after all my work. (And I really wouldn't have to be doing this if the stupid upgrade hadn't blown away all my playlists in the first place). Sigh.

did you get this fixed? I have the same problem - thanks for saving my bacon though with the edit playlist tip
Apple, please make this easier - it used to be dead simple with tunes on the right of the playlist lists and you'd drag, now, seeing playlists and songs at the same time is a pain, you have to use to edit option or the NOT WORKING right click method. Is this fixed in a later version? I have v11.05 - I am fed up of keep upgrading at 80Mb a go and 20 minutes out of my life hence, I am not up to the most recent. If it still is a problem with the latest, I'll have to wait til the next
Thanks, Matt

Photoshop CC - right click on title bar no longer opens image dialog box

Hi,
I just noticed that since the last update of photoshop CC I can no longer access the dialog boxes for image info, image size, canvas size, copy image, etc from the right click menu on the titlebar of the image screen.
I have to resort now to shortcuts like ctrl + alt + i and ctrl + alt + c (image size, canvas size).
Was this removed on purpose?

I see this got already answered at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6020828#6020828

Right click button on magic mouse stopped working

My magic mouse right click has suddenly stopped working. I have looked at the system preferences, and they are set correctly. I disconnected and reconnected it as well. The other thread suggested remove files that don't exist on this version of the OS.

Yep, have reset PRAM and SMC. Same issue.
It's actually fairly common - I've found at least 15 topics on this forum about it and a bit of Googleing revealed it wasn't just me. Can't find any topics that have a proper resolution though.
I did a fair bit of research before posting on here because I didn't want to post a problem that was specific to just me. It seems like it's a fair few people.
One "solution" is to install a 3rd party piece of software and assign right click to a right "tap" (not a full click) - that's not really a solution, more of a workaround.

WHY CAN'T I COMBINE FILES WITH RIGHT CLICK ANY MORE? HOW LONG AM I EXPECTED TO WAIT BEFORE SWITCHING TO A COMPETITOR'S PRODUCT?

I used to be able to select a set of documents in the Windows file explorer, right click these highlighted documents, and then right click-->Combine Files in Acrobat.
This used to open the combine files page in Acrobat and I would be able to combine the files directly.
Now when I use right click to combine files in Acrobat it simply opens Acrobat. If I want to combine the files I have to go to Acrobat, select the option, and then navigate to the files.
This similar issue exists for edited PDFs. I used to be able to right click a document and select "Edit with Adobe Acrobat" and the document would open when this option was selected. Now if this option is selected it opens Adobe Acrobat and I have to navigate to any files I want to use.
How do I use the right click features in the file explorer? These features don't work any more and they used to.

Hi
Could you please tell which Acrobat version you are using and also the OS- Windows 7 or 8.1?
Also can you please tell whether you are getting Acrobat specific combine and Edit options in the right - click menu?
If yes, are they working or nothing happens on clicking them?
If possible, can you also try to restart your system and then try Right-click -> combine files in Acrobat?
Thanks
Tanvi

My left and right click on the trackpad don't work.

From reading a number of the posts here, it would seem that trackpads not working is an issue that Apple may need to look into. I have personally resorted to using a mouse and the trackpad as a touchpad. For all the finger gestures, my trackpad works fine, but it doesn't respond at all to the left or right click options. It clicks audibly, but neither responds. There were some posts about playing around with a PRAM (whatever that may be), but surely there must be a more definitive solution. Does anyone know if this is an issue that is being addressed by Apple or does anyone know of a permanent solution? I don't mind continue to use the external mouse, but it seems a shame that the trackpad malfunctions and there is no apparent solution; that's unlike an Apple product. Your input would be appreciated.

This fixed it :
"Solution:
With the laptop open, turn it on to it's side. Repeatedly click the trackpad with a firm, but not excessive amount of force. Put the laptop on the other side and repeat.
I can't explain why this works. Perhaps some amount of debris or dust has built up under there ? I went from not being able to click-drag without an excessive amount of pressure, back to a normal amount of pressure after doing this."
