Can no longer send links online by right clicking my mouse or by selecting

Everyday I share with others images from Facebook (or elsewhere), by right clicking my mouse on the image and being given the option to "E-mail link." For webpages (from my Taskbar) I click on "File" and then "E-mail link." Trying either of these functions now produces nothing - absolutely nothing happens. Also, I just now clicked on "File" to "Print" a copy of this question, and nothing happens when I click on File - no options appear.

Hello,
Maybe the problem is a corrupted file in your profile, try create a new profile:

Or try go to your profile and delete the localstore.rdf:

How do I get my right click on mouse to copy and paste?

How do I get my right click on mouse to copy and paste?

As long as the right-click displays the dropdown menu, then it is enabled and you just have to select "copy" or "paste".
I find the quickest way to copy/paste is to use the keyboard shut-cut of, command C and command V. Quick and easy and less moving of the mouse.
Good luck.

Can't Download Images with Right-Click on Mouse

I can't download images by right-clicking my mouse, like I do on my PC. For example, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota and look at the images of the flag, state seal and map near the top right corner of the page...
When I place my cursor over any of these images on either my PC or my MacBook Pro, my cursor changes to a hand, indicating that the images are hyperlinked. If I right-click on an image, I can choose a SAVE AS command on my PC, but nothing happens on my MacBook Pro.
If I left-click on a linked image, it simply zooms in, rather than taking me to another page. I'm using a small Kensington mouse.
This could be a Firefox problem. I think I recall downloading some sort of extension that allows you to zoom in on images, and I suspect it's more or less taken over. If so, I'll have to track down the name of the extension and try and zap it.
But I thought I'd check here first, just to see if other people have this same problem - or if you can suggest alternate strategies for downloading images.
Thanks.

Well, I found a novel solution - it's called Safari.
I'll post on the Firefox forum to figure out why I
can't download images with it, but it seems to work
just fine with Apple's native browser. Thanks for all
the tips.
I just tried it, but I am using firefox 2.0 beta and I had no problems. Not sure what's going on. Have you tried any other pages or pics besides this one, which I don't think it would matter just wondering.

Keynote freezes when right click on mouse. why?

When using keynote, numbers, etc. and I right click my mouse to get the secondary menu, the spinning beach ball appears and the app freezes and requires a Forced Shut Down. How can this be fixed?
OX 10.8.3

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

If the songs are downloaded into your iTunes library (i.e. they don't have the cloud icon against them) then you should be able to delete them by selecting them and pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
If they do have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud - you can turn off the showing of all icloud music via the 'Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases' on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), or you can hide individual tracks and/or albums so that they don't show in the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

My scroll wheel keeps opening more tabs every time I click on links, and right click keeps high lighting stuff since new update.

Hello BoreOne,
I'm sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your Firefox settings.
Damn leprechauns are everywhere!
It seems like the damage isn't too big and we should be able to fix it easily...
Simply reset your profile settings (delete and create new) by following the intructions in the [[Managing profiles|managing profiles]] support article and perhaps [[How to clear the cache|clear your cache]]. This should normally and hopefully set you up!
If you still require assistance regarding this issue or have any more inquiries regarding the matter, please let me know in a reply below.
If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as ''Solution''.
Thank you for your valuable time and patience, and all your interest in Mozilla Firefox. Surf safe and have a great day!

Every app (incl system/finder) becomes non responsive on right click.

Hello,
I have a mac pro 2008 and have the recurring problem that occasionally after booting up my system everything that I right-click becomes unresponsive (activity monitor says the app is 'not responding') and I get the little apple beachball animation.
This happens with every app i right-click, for example right-clicking the desktop = Finder unresponsive, same happens with Mail, Firefox, Safari, iTunes, Tweetie for Mac, any app i run.
Also bizarre is the fact that while the one app is unresponsive the rest of the system continues to work as expected, for example Finder is unresponsive but I can still switch spaces, surf the net, listen to iTunes...
A reboot usually fixes this but it is still annoying to get this rather frequent error.
Do you guys have any ideas whatsoever what this could be and how i could fix it?
PS: Hard drives have all been verified, permissions have been repaired and no errors whatsoever in those processes have been found.
The bootdrive also has 61% free space (1TB drive) and has recently been defragmented (the issue happend before the defrag as well so that is not the cause).
A hardware test ('d' key pressed during boot) has also found no errors.
Thanks in advance,
and thanks for reading.
Kindest regards,
Jannis

Hi carolyn,
Thanks for your response.
I actually just installed a new mouse.
It happend while I was using the Logitech MX1000 and it continues to happen with my brand new Logitech RX Revolution that I just installed a couple of days ago..
So either it is a gernally Logitech related issue or independant of the mouse.
Thanks again either way!
Kindest regards,
Jannis
PS: i also switched ports but that made no difference unfortunately.

Can't "right click" on mouse.

Hi all,
I am running OS X 10.4.8 on an Intel Mac Mini with wireless one button mouse.
To "right click" say on a picture, I just hold down the mouse and get an options menu, or to download a link, I just hold down the mouse on the link, and get an options menu.
Well not now!
Now if I hold down the mouse nothing happens ?
I tried the following:
Logged into the admin account the mouse works perfect.
Created a new user account the mouse works perfect.
I uninstalled Divx ( the only thing I loaded recently).
I ran "Disk Aid" fixed a few permissions, mostly iTunes.
I checked the mouse settings, but there are only settings for click speed, and tracking, both of these functions work perfect.
I tried another USB one button mouse in my user account, it does not work either.
Holding down the ctrl key while clicking on the mouse does not work either.
Nor did a re-boot.
So it's some sort of user account problem as the hardware is perfect and it works in admin and the new user account.
Permissions are OK.
I ain't got the faintest idea where to go now
It's an annoying problem, as I can't download stuff that needs a "right click and select save as" , the only way is to log into another account and download it there.
Any help would be great.
Many thanks for your time.
Regards.

There's a couple of things to look at in your account:
1. Look in "/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items" and see if you have anything in there. If so, try moving all the items to the Desktop and log out/in or restart the Finder. If one of the items is the problem you can add back one at a time until you isolate the culprit.
2. In "/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences" look for plist files that might be related to your mouse. I guess you have an Apple bluetooth mouse? See if there are any plist files related to it, if so remove. Also remove "/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and you can try going to "/Users/yourname/Library/Caches/" and removing the System Preferences folder plus "com.apple.preferencepanes.cache" and see if that helps. There's one other System Prefs plist, "/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systempreferences.0003934 3a1a8.plist" you can remove.
If it isn't a bad Contextual Menu Item, nor a bad mouse of bluetooth preference--either a com.apple plist for the mouse or bluetooth--nor a bad cache or plist for System Preferences, then I can't imagine what the problem is. You could try removing the entire Preferences folder, force Finder to restart and create new default everything, then put back stuff in batches....

Right click with mouse in Word 2013 does not give the list with translate and synonyms etc

since i upgraded to windows 8.1 right click on words in word 2013 does not open the regular list where you can tap on synonyms and translate.
it does work if i touch the screen.
i moved to mouse mode but it does not help
can anyone help...
i am starting to hate windows 8.1 and word 2013 because of this feature not working

Hi
I have tested in my computer and it worked well.
Normally when we type a wrong spelling, right clicking the word does not give a list with translate and synonyms.
Check to make sure your spelling is right.
if the issue persists, Start Word in safe mode to check the issue:Hold "Ctrl" key and click into the program.
It is also recommended that you do a repair for your Office suites in
Control panel>Program and features>Office>Change>Repair

the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

How do I set up right click on mouse on iMac

I got a new iMac and the right click option on my mouse is no longer working. Does anyone know how to set up the right click on the mouse.

System Preferences > Mouse. Select the "Point and Click" tab:
Select under the "Secondary Click" option.

No right click on mouse

I have a second hand imac, which I love, but the mouse doesn't have a right-click function. I looked in system, under mouse options, and there's no selection for right click. Is there some place else I can look? Just got this imac for Christmas, so still learning. Your help would be appreciated.

If you can't specify right click in your mouse's preferences, clicking and holding down the control key at the same time will give you a right click.
