Double finger tap acts like a click

I'm accustomed to tapping two fingers on a link on the trackpad, which is supposed to act like a right-click to get the context menu. I often use this to open the link in a new tab. Currently on the links under the articles in "The Cut" at New York Magazine, it's just going to the next page as if I'd simply tapped once, or left-clicked, with one difference: I am also getting the context menu.
What's up with this?
Please tell me there isn't something that allows website designers to override user tapping or clicking preferences . . .

And also, reset the PRAM.

  • Intuos3 pen tip acts like right click in Photohop CS4

    I have a Intuos3 5 wide. It works great in various applications under Windows Vista 32bit and the latest drivers.
    I'm using a normal Logitech mouse which is set to left-handed because I use the mouse with my left hand. The Intuos pen is set to the default right handed.
    So far no problems except for Photoshop CS4.
    In CS4 the pen tip acts like a right click. I can only draw or click when I keep de lower button on the pen pressed down. The eraser does exactly the same, thus showing the context menu).
    I tried to reverse the pen functions and the mouse handedness for Photoshop only but this didn't work the right way. I can assign a right click to the tip so I can draw and click as it should be. But I cannot do this for the eraser so I'm not satisfied with this workaround.
    I have this problem in Photoshop CS4 only. Not in Lightroom or Bridge (or other non Adobe programs). Anyone who can help me with this problem?

    Hey there,
    I definitely hear you about Split Motion. There is an enhancement request for supporting multiple layers, and adding it as a keyboard shortcut. The first one is tricky, but the second one is not. I think there was hope that splitting motions wouldn't be necessary much (especially since you have to be careful when doing so when eases are involved), which is why the eventual need for more functionality related to split motion was realized a bit late in the schedule.
    Now regarding other operations, such as you mentioned F5 to insert frames - that and other operations (inserting certain types of property keyframes, F6, and so on) work just fine.
    You can apply a shortcut to Create Motion Tween in the custom keyboard shortcut dialog.  Not all operations in the program are available though (most context menu items aren't), which is why unfortunately why we don't see Split Motion yet.
    It might be possible to avoid Split Motion though with another workflow. What are you using the feature for?  Just curious in case I can help.
    Jen.

  • Can't get trackpad to recognize three finger tap gesture for left click

    Hello,
    Hoping someone can help me. I am new to mac and just got a mbp 13. I have magicprefs installed so I can add various trackpad gestures. I have it set up so that when I do a 3 finger tap it should equal a left click. No matter what I do, the trackpad doesn't recognize this.
    The trackpad recognizes the 2 finger tap as right click just fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Do I have to enable or disable something in the system preference trackpad box to allow for a left click gesture?
    Any help would be appreciated-I use left click a lot and it would be great to just do this with a 3 finger tap. Thanks in advance.

  • When I open Safari (or any other program), my computer acts like I clicked out of the program after 2-3 seconds and I have to click on window again. How do I fix this?

    I downloaded Mavericks after having Snow Leopard for 2+ years. I went through the proper updates to Snow Leopard before changing to Mavericks. After downloading, the computer behaves as though I clicked away from the program I was using, even if I was in the middle of attempting to type a word. For example, when I click on the Apple icon the drop-down menu is only available for 2-3 seconds before closing itself, even if I have moved the curser onto the drop-down menu. I literally can't perform a Google search, type in Word, or do any task on my computer (I am using my wife's computer to create this).
    Please help!

    Hi username availabl,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If windows and menus on your computer are unexpectedly "losing focus" every few seconds, there are a few steps that can help isolate or resolve the issue.
    First, try booting your computer into safe mode:
    Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
    If things are working normally in safe mode, this usually means OS X is fine, and the issue is caused by conflicting software in your user account.
    Next, see if the issue occurs in a new user account. The steps in this article also apply to creating a new user in Mavericks:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If the issue persists in safe mode and a new user, I would recommend reinstalling Mavericks:
    OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

    Best Regards,

  • Flex 2 14 - Two finger tap for Right-Click not working (Two finger double tap works)

    I bought my Flex 2 14 a couple of weeks back.
    I want to enable Two-finger tap (not click) for right click.. Unfortunately it does not work.
    Weirdly, Two-finger DOUBLE tap works for right click.. 
    How do I get a two-finger tap? 
    I tried the regitry hacks from here (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Yoga-Flex-Laptops-and/Yoga-2-Pro-Two-finger-tap-does-not-work/td-p/1406... but no luck yet. 
    Any help please. 

    I have found a solution but I am still annoyed I had to do my own tech work to get a common touch figure enabled. (By the way there's many threads out there on Synpatics drivers and touchpads not working right for many people on different machines.)
    Anyway, indeed the fastest fix is to modify a registry entry for Synaptics. Just open  the regisitry edit software on the Yoga and then go through the folders: HKEY LOCAL / Software / Synaptics / SynTP / Win8
    In "2FingerTapAction" all you need is to change the value from "0" to "2" - and presto two-finger tap is now a right click!
    Much easier than going through a driver install / uninstall routine or any other of the suggestions I've found out there.
    I wish Lenovo had this set up as a default. It's really a great gesture and it's quiet and fast.

    My original iPad takes about 5 long seconds before responding to my finger tap in the safari window. Like I tap in Safari window, then count 5 seconds before I can begin typing my search words. Is this normal? I really don't remember it taking so long when I bought it, but it has been this way for awhile. I have closed all open apps many times to no avail. I just reset all settings and still 5 seconds. I don't have a lot on my iPad with plenty of free space available. Also, I have to click twice on many things that typically take one click. Like it highlights it with first click, then second click completes the action that normally would be done in one click, like Facebook like button. Like will underline with click one, then will change to like on second click. Do I need to try to restore from my computer?
    Thanks for any help!

    Ive tried that but when Im logged in I dont have all the permmisions I should have so it just runs the test for my usernames own little virtual world.  Ive been using macs for over a decade now and I have never had my computer do anything like this. while sitting in front of my screen I watched the mouse go to some personal files and change the permissions and then covered their tracks by changing the timestamp on the file dates back. I watched it happpen while all internet conections were off.  I had my identity stolen, my facebook password changed, my email accounts closed out. and my firmware password changed all within two weeks of the origninal boot date

  • Can't type in form fields, acts like right mouse click.

    Using the mouse pad or magic mouse - anytime I single click in a fillable field it acts like a right or two finger click and will not let me type in the fields. It won't even let me type in URLs.

    I have this problem too. I've disabled all add ons except Foxtab 1.4.9 to no avail. The problem goes away when Foxtab is disabled. But I love Foxtab.
    Interesting discovery: everything is fine - I can type merrily along like I am here - until I click my mouse. Then the problem occurs. I have to go to another text box, type some stuff then come back. Both my Apple computers are experiencing the same problem. Both have wireless mac mice. Both started the same problem about 3 months ago. Not using my mouse gets round the problem but it's a pain because I am often cutting and pasting text into a text box. Any ideas?

  • Windows 8.1 Two Finger Tap Right Click

    So, for anyone who has upgraded to 8.1 and suddenly lost their two finger tap right click functionality, I highly suggest that you use this: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-enable-two-finge​r-tap-for-right-click-in-windows/.  It restores the functionality of the trackpad and does not interfere with the synaptics clickpad.  Just make sure that if your synaptics two finger scroll still works, you turn OFF that feature in the downloaded app.
    Until HP figures out how to make their software compatible with 8.1 (which, if they're listening, SHOULD NOT BE AT ALL DIFFICULT NEARLY TWO WEEKS AFTER LAUNCH), this is an acceptable workaround.  Also, I'm sure many of you have already figured this out, but HP customer service is atrocious and definitely not worth your time.  If you ask them how to solve this, they'll tell you to restore your PC to factory settings and completely reinstall Windows 8.1.
    I hope this helps anyone else who's experiencing this problem, as I only decided to post it after spending several hours fruitlessly searching for a solution.

    On updating from windows 8 to windows 8.1, my Synaptics touch-pad lost the two finger right-click gesture.
    Even after frustatingly trying to install-uninstall new driver software, problem didn't solve.
    Finally I find the solution in registry entry:-
    Go to Start > Run and type Regedit in Windows 7, or in Windows 8 type Regedit at the start screen.
    Once open navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Synaptics > SynTP > TouchpadPS2
    There, right click and select New, DWORD Value. Name the value '2FingerTapAction'. Once created, double click it and set the Value Data to '2'.
    If '2FingerTapAction' is already there, double click it and set the Value Data to '2'.
    On certain systems the registry folder where the "2FingerTapAction" key is located may be named differently. e.g. On Envy x2 it is called "TouchPadRMIHID2c".
    Then log off and log on, and it should all work. Easy.
    I hope the problem is resolved.

  • Yoga 3 11 - Right-click doesn't always work / how to enable two finger tap?

    Hi,
    I'm based in Sydney, Australia now. Please can you post the contact details, when I go through the warranty page, it gives me local service centres which aren't much help. Thanks

    Right click not working might be a hardware issue, or even a driver problem that you might want to invove support since you're under warranty.   BUT, if you want two finger tap?  I don't know why, but this very useful feature seems to have been removed on most win 8/8.1 machines.  Even those that had the feature enabled in win7 lost it upgrading to 8/8.1. I researched the issue and found that the feature can often be restored via the registry.  I tried to get this feature back on my Yoga 3 14 via the registry with no success, though it worked like a charm on my HP Slim Quad.  The only option I found was using a 6yr old program called 2 finger scroll <which lenovo won't let me post a link for!!>   In settings  tapping tab set 2 fingers to right click.  Disable everythig else.  Particularly avoid the 1+1 finger option as it will drive you mad while typing.  Don't forget to ckick the "starrt with windws" check box too. Maybe with win10, someone will step up and fix this glaring omission?  Many complain about its loss in win8.x and have been for years.   MS, Elan, Synaptics and the laptop mfg's seem to turn a deaf ear.  This feature has worked for years and continues to work on Macs.  It's one of the reasons Mac trackpads are considered vastly superior to most windows machines.

  • Firefox Having IE errors, acting like IE? pages double load?

    As of like the past week i have been having a problem with firefox. Sometimes i cannot load pages , it loads the pages for a split second then i end up at a Internet exploer cannot display webpage screen. covers all pages ive tried... lately it has been working and loading pages but firefox is acting like IE, for example downloads use individual progress windows like IE insted of the tabbed download fire fox uses, pages seem to double load when first loaded and opened..and over all everything seems slow...tried running malware bytes, superanti spyware aand ad aware with no luck, downloaded the latest firefox from mozilla.com same issues... oh and i just tried to copy and paste add ons/extensions but everytime i click on the window it closes the add on screen???
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Few weeks ago ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB5; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

    I was having the exact same issue, firefox was acting like IE.
    Ctrl F brought up the IE find dialogue, right click did not have "Open link in new tab", and so on.
    I uninstalled "firefox accelerator" add-on and the problem was resolved.
    Oddly, when Firefox restarted and attempted to reload my windows, each window address had the prefix :
    chrome://ietab2/content/reloaded.html?url=
    but I don't have the chrome browser installed.
    Seems like Firefox Accelerator is some kind of malware!

  • Magic Trackpad's One Finger "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window?

    Magic Trackpad's *One Finger* "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window:
    All of my iMac's accounts have *One Finger* "Tap to Click" turned on (checked) in System Preferences. However, in the Login Window where the user decides which account to login to, the Magic Trackpad's clicking ability does not work even though moving the arrow does work. How do I turn on the Magic Trackpad's ability to click in the Login Window?

    After accidentally pressing down on the Magic Trackpad, I realized the trackpad has tactile feedback, that is, it is a big button that can be pressed down and pop back up like old computer mice. Though this will allow the trackpad to select the account I want to open in the Login Window, it still doesn't explain why "tap to click" isn't working in the Login Window. Nevertheless, my question can be considered as answered.

  • I have a Yahoo search bar acting like an App tab that I can't get rid of. There is no option to unpin when I right click on it.

    I have a yahoo search bar which was installed during a download and installation of SIW.exe a system information application from http://gtopala.com/. It was the freeware version which is add based software. However I didn't expect that the search function would be such a nusance and interfere with Firefox's functions.
    The search bar is acting like a App tab that I can't move or get rid of. Ther is no option to unpin the object when I right click on the bar or to change it in any way using the 'group your tab' function to the right of the tab tool bar.

    Reply: Cor-el > Excellent!! Thank You. In Tools, Add Ons, Extensions there was a Default Tab enntry which was the culprit. Am running W7 so the XP Tools, Options, Advanced , Use Hardware acceleration when available, wasn't of much help here, however I did fix a problem on another computer running XP with that same fix. Thank You very much! HD

    Force quit the application and try again.
    Try a reset or restart of the device, trying the app after each step.
