Can't ctrl or right click in safari 2.03

i've had this problem for a while now. i can remember being able to right/ctrl click in safari, but it just refuses to work! very annoying when i want to speak selected text, for example. i have pith helmet installed (which i hate btw - causes more annoyances than solutions), could that effect it?

I don't know for sure, but it's possible. Try uninstalling it and see what happens.
Also, have a read of item 16 on this page. Maybe it applies to you.

Ctrl+alt, right click brush size

ctrl+alt right click horizontal and vertical brush size
Using both Photoshop cs 6 and cc on Mac.
The alt + ctrl + right click whilst dragging both vertical and horizontal to change the size and hardness of brush no longer functions.
In CC when I alt + ctrl + right click the entire document frame moves.
I have tried resetting my preferences to no avail and I am now desperate for a solution to this problem so I can restore photoshop to it's original state.
Running Mac OS X 10.8.4
Imac 2011 and 2012 both 27"
Macbook pro retina
this problem is replicatable on all hardware, using either the in built track pad, magic tractpad or magic mouse.
Kind Regards
Mark

I just randomly got it. Saved my day!!!!
(Found your thread cause i had the same problem)

Why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?

I love the thumbnail idea, but why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?
Why do i have to wait for a recent one to come up?
Of the 9 available, I would like to set 6 to website i can input by right clicking it and leave the rest for the recently visited.
I ho[e you include that feature in your next update.
Thank you
P.S. 2 more issues
1. Firefox is the only browser that always give me trouble attaching files in gmail. I still use firefox for all browsing but for mail attachments, I use others. And yes, I have done the "Clear cookies, reset, reinstall, clear cache, etc etc etc... none worked for more than a few days. no such problem with other browsers.
2. Your new updated search bar (Top right hand corner) is nice but can be very irritating for the following reason:
I like to highlight - copy (a word or phrase) - and paste it in the search bar. was fine with the older version, but now as soon as I right click to past, the menu pops up for me to select a search engine. Very irritating since I have yet to paste the copied word or phrase. I rather paste it and then have the option to click on the drop down menu. If you see this as not something masses would want, please place an option in setting for us to stop the suggestion for search engines coming up automatically when we try to right click in the side search bar to paste.

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
*browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
*browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.

I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.

I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.
Also the track pad seems to be slower/ not picking up all my finger movements.

You might want to take the computer to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them give you an estimate, at least, on how much it would cost to 'fix' the trackpad - I've no idea what the cost would be. The trackpad on MBPs is one of the most sensitive elements in the computer's design. They usually don't go bad, but yours seems to be giving you some trouble: so just make a Genius Bar appointment and just get an estimate - might be something simple.

How can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in internet explorer

how can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in interne

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Can't scroll or right-click in Mavericks

I can't scroll or right-click in Mavericks at all with my Magic Mouse. It didn't happen immediately, rather a couple of days after upgrading. I can't use Photoshop due to these problems, and have to use the arrow keys to navigate other programs. Have tried disconnecting the mouse and setting up again. Also tried reinstalling, and also rebooting several times. Can't try another mouse as I don't have one. I'm a designer by trade and am currently unable to carry out my work. Would really appreciate any ideas you guys have on fixing this! Have heard a few other people have experienced similar issues.
Thanks, Ben

After installing Maverik yesterday I also lost the possibility to scroll with my Magic Mouse.
Does anybody have a solution or is this apple bug the new way of apple features?
Based on this changed mouse functionallity it is no possible to work with Maverik in an efficent way. So take care before installing Maverik.

I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. I only have a previous version re-install disc as I bought the latest OSX off the app store. Any help gratefully received?

Hmmm, no, no drivers needed, now it sounds like a bad install... unless you might have some old Mouse software installed???
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Right-click in safari 4.0.4??

Just updated my Safari to 4.0.4, only to find I can't right-click anymore. My mac is from early 2007, OS X tiger and so my right-click command is "ctrl + click". however, in the new safari that now just opens the link, rather than giving me the right-click options box. How do I get them instead?

If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Safari 4.0.4 for download can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now both Tiger and Leopard uses Safari 4.0.4. If Safari 4.0.4 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as Safari 3.x uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 4.0.4.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
• Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Right click in safari 4.0.3 always causing alert sound

Hi, I've just come across this issue, whenever I right click directly in any web page of safari 4.0.3 (by directly I mean, without any text selected, and not in the input field), an alert sound appears. I've tried checking my mouse settings, repairing disk permissions, restoring defaults of keyboard shortcuts, uninstalling some recently installed software/apps, but none of these works. Yet if I right click with selected text or in input field or in any other application, there's no such issue. I wonder if this is a bug of safari 4.0.3 or what. And now I'm really frustrated and can't figure out what can be done to kick this alert sound away. Please help, thanks in advance.

Right Click with Safari

We have a scheduling calendar software that works with IE on Windows and with Safari on Mac (Safari 3.0.3). There is an entry field that requires using a "right click." Again works with Safari on Mac.
I can use the site with Safari on my iPhone (much to the envy of my Blackberry toting partners), however, I can't figure out how to make a "right-click" gesture or entry. If I could do that, then I would have full function of the site.
Anybody have any clues? Or is this just not available yet?

Leon Bell,
Just like with a one button mouse on Mac OS X, holding on the item will present the alternatives.
For example click and hold on the link, until you get a popup that says, "Action", and then move your finger over action, and then release.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
