Function Keys and Mouse Right Click Stopped Working On New iMac

I bought a new iMac a couple of days ago and everything was working fine until last night when I noticed that the volume up/down function keys and also the mouse right click no longer worked.
For the mouse I tried turning off the right click option and back on again and also tried another mouse which has the same problem.  Both work ok on a MBP which I have.
I have tried doing the normal SMC and PRAM resets which doesn't solve the problem.
One program which I installed after I got the computer was Logmein which screwed up my audio settings.  After uninstalling that my audio settings are ok but I was wondering if the program could also have changed some other settings.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the System/Keyboard preference pane to see if the Function key option is checked?

  • Right Click stopped working on my Magic Mouse. It works on Wife's MacBook

    I have a Mid-2011 21.5 iMac, 2.5 GHz., 12 GB Memory, Yosemite 10.10.1.
    The Right Click stopped working on my Magic Mouse. I have tried disabling and re-enabling it in System Preferences without Success. I have tried to enable the Secondary Click to 'Click on left side' just to see if I could get the secondary click to work.  All of the other functions work.
    I tested it on my Wife's MacBook and it is fully functional.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you In advance.   

    Thank you for replying Old Toad. I was able to follow your instructions but nothing changed. My Bluetooth Mouse driver was a bit different, it include .plist
    com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse
    com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
    com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist

  • Multi gesture and tap-to-click stopped working on Logitech touchpad

    I have a Logitech TK820 that has been working great until I did a upgrade for about one week ago. Now multi gesture stopped working completely and also tap-to-click doesnt work.
    Does anyone have any clue on what I can do to get it working again.
    Thanks

    hi,
    thanks for your reply.  i haven't had time to deal with this issue since i wrote about it in october.
    i found the 'properties' window for the touchpad mouse but there is no reset button.  i continue to have this issue and it is becoming more frequent although i have not been able to identify what triggers the sudden shut down of the tap-to-click function.
    but something new has cropped up: when the tap-to-click stops working, the next time i tap the touchpad, the pointer goes to the Start button!  this happens every time.  i don't know that anything is different?
    any further pointers (forgive the pun) would be most welcome!

  • 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 FF 3.6, top menu does NOT function nor does mouse right-click, all other applications O.K.

    Running 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 upgraded from 10.04
    Running latest 3.x.x Firefox
    On rebooting this morning the top menu does not function at all, nor does mouse right-click.
    Did 'complete removal' in Synaptic and reinstall to no avail.
    Thunderbird and Google Chrome functioning fine.

    Fixed!
    open a new instance of Firefox (ctrl-N). You will notice all is working now. Close the old instance, so whatever Firefox remembers as your last instance is the new, good one. Worked for me. This problem seems to have been around a while already, this fix dates from November 2010...

  • Magic mouse rt click stopped working

    My magic mouse right click is not working. I have looked and the box is checked in the preferences but still not RT click. Please advise

    Hi there
    Yes the preferences does not help with this issue I have done everything to get my right click back but no joy. Until now this is a kind of fix for it. If you go to google and search magicprefs it is a free download and it basically lets you pick and choose what your mouse gestures  does for you when you swipe ,click and tap your mouse thus you can click on the right mouse gesture and voila you have right click back.
    Hope that is a help I know how frustrating it has been.

  • Mighty mouse right click not working...

    Hi,
    I've recently bought my macbook pro in the summer along with a wireless mighty mouse. after working on the computer a while, the right click function stops working! i tried installing the software that comes with the mouse but i get the same results...
    any suggestions?
    thanks in advance!

    . Follow the steps for disassembling the MM on many of the web sites until you have the upper shell separated from the base. I found removing the bottom grey ring the easiest method.
    2. Inside the upper shell you will see the plastic backed carbon traces used to detect the finger locations. In the centre of the upper shell is also a copper strip adhered to the shell. The plastic traces and the copper shim have a connection through a carbon dot on the shell where there are two holes next to a black carbon dot. I found that there were two issues with my MM that may have caused my issues. The first was that the plastic detectors were not fully adhered and flat on the inner shell. Then I found that the small carbon button which contacts the copper was not fully pressed down. I ran my finger over the entire internal surface of the shell to press down the adhesive bonded parts and then reassembled the mouse.
    3. Instead of gluing the bottom grey ring back on the mouse, fit it in place with small sections of 3M invisible tape, over the grey ring and upper case, just in case things go awry again. If they're small enough, you won't see them when the mouse in operation and the case remains securely closed. Once you are sure you have no more problems then you can add a dab or two of superglue to permanently close the case at a later date or still have access to clean the scroll mechanism at a later time as well.
    The other outcome might be that my disassembly and reassmbly reseated a poorly contacting cable(s) from the base the the upper shell. Either way, I have a fully functioning right click again in all situations. I have not had to remove the batteries in the mouse for over a week now whereas the power reset was becoming an hourly occurrence previously.

  • Magic Mouse Right Click Not Working? HELP

    Right click function ceased...also dvd player crapped out...and I can't burn music cds...Related???
    Thanks

    Thanks...the machine is less than a year old and the mouse has been replaced under warranty once...It started working again after latest software update...
    Don't get me wrong...this machine is the most wonderful piece of technology I have ever had the joy to use.  Just working out some bugs that are probably much simpler than I'm making them out to be.  Again...thanks for the reply...I'm off to see what a PRAM battery is.

  • Apple Magic Mouse--right click not working, left-right scroll not working

    Brand new out of the box, right click does not work and neither do the left-right swipe. Is it likely I have a faulty mouse, or is there a software update or setting I have failed to find? Running 10.6.4 on brand new MacBook Air. Experts--help please

    I have the same issue.  My magic mouse is only about a year old and i honestly don't use it that often... it seems to me the right click is not "connecting" well as i have to click several times or very hard to get it to make a clicking sound.  not sure if its stiff or broken or not.
    Overall I'm pretty frustrated as this thing was EXPENSIVE. 
    Any ideas how to fix it?

  • Mouse Right- Click not working

    yes, I firstly checked that the secondary button is set as right click. I disabled it and restarted the computer, but is not working, any ideas?

    It may be LaunchServices. These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices: (Edit: be sure to copy the entire command the text box is a slider)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • 2011 MBP click and tap to click stops working at random

    I've got a two weeks old MBP 13" it's working perfectly fine most of the time, but I've noticed that sometimes (could be related to waking from sleep) "left clicking" or tap to click with the trackpad stops working.
    Everything else works, swiping, secondary clicking and what not.
    One way to make the regular clicking work again is by rebooting the computer. Sometimes though, this isn't enough, it might even take two reboots.
    Then there are some situations when I'm up late working, and the trackpad fails on me and I'll just close the lid and go to bed, the next morning it might work just fine again.
    Has anyone had these same problems with the new MBP? Should I try and get it replaced since it's a brand new computer?

  • Magic mouse right click not working

    am i the only one? after downloading the latest os x updates, i'm unable to do any secondary click (right / left) with the magic mouse...tried everything via internet trouble shooting & even spoke with apple support...i have an appointment with their genius bar but there must be a way??? any advice apple fam? thanks.

    No, you are not alone. I had exactly that situation with my magic mouse on my 27 inch iMac after the recent update of Yosemite.
    I assumed it must be the mouse - just over a year old, so surprising.
    But searching this forum I found the helpful posts suggesting deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from Preferences. (Use Finder to go to your hard drive, open Library/Preferences and look down the long list of files to find com.apple.Bluetooth.plist. Drag a copy to your desktop, just to be safe. Then delete it from the Preferences. Restart your Mac and the file will be recreated.)
    It's surprising that Apple staff aren't aware of this.
