Help: I can't right-click on tools or use brush tools with left-click

Like a problem I have tell in my title.
I don't know it's about a problem of my mouse or of the software.
Please help me. Thank you so much!

In Windows there's a way to reverse the left and right mouse buttons via the Mouse section in the Windows Control Panel.

Downloaded new version yesterday and can't right click open in new tab bookmarks now...

Since I downloaded ner version yesterday, I can't right click on a bookmark and open in new tab like I could before. What's up with that?

I went to view > column browser > and artists, group compilations and use album artists are all checked.
Then I go to search and pull together an album compilation example "VH1 Top 100" highlight them all, click get info, I have "various artists" under "album artists" under "album" is "VH1 Top 100" and mark them as compilations. Go back to my album listing grid with artwork and they are all still scattered out. I must be leaving something out, but they were fine before I downloaded new itunes ?
Thanks again for help.

Desktop - Icons Disappeared, Can't Right-Click

Hello,
I installed Leopard about a week ago (installed right over; not fresh install) onto my MacBook Pro, and everything was working fine until yesterday: all the icons on my Desktop (Macintosh HD, various folders and documents) disappeared, and I can't right-click/control-click the Desktop. I can still access the Macintosh HD and other files and folders through Finder, I just can't seem to get them to show up on the Desktop anymore. I'm fairly new to Macs in general, so I don't know if this is a feature that I accidently turned on or is this a bug or..?
Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?
Regards,
Derek

I ran into the same thing, did an upgrade on my MBP, a week later my desktop icons disappeared. I ended up downloading the trial version of Cocktail (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php). Under Ineterface-->Finder-->"Hide the desktop" was checked. I must have accidentally done this but did not know how to undo it. Hope this helps.

Is it possible and if so how can I right click on the on screen touch keyboard

Is it possible and if so how can I right click on the on screen touch keyboard.

No it not design for that. I just tried it. Left click only. I recomend that you do not mess with setting with in the software it self you may end up causing the keyboard to malfunction and crashing your computer.I all so just double check our computers help and support On screen keyboard settings. There was no option given for switching the mouse clicker. Just sticky keys and short cuts are listed. Sorry I hope this answered your question. I would all so not recomend trying to install other software you may find on switching key board setting unless it came from HP company design especially use on these types of computers. You may end up destroying your hard drive and computer all together.

Can't right click on my desktop. Files/Folders are also disappeared

The subject explains pretty much the situation.
The last days, I can't right click on my dekstop. Right click works on any other icon/app etc of course. At the same time, files/folders that I have in desktop, and I can see them through finder, are not displayed. However, if I login with the guest account, the problem is not reproduced.
Any ideas?
(I have a new macbook pro 13 retina display, running 10.9.1)

Sorry for the inconvenience.
It seems that there was a problem/miss configuration with an external program I installed (path finder).
Resolving this now

I can not right click "open in new tab" nor open in new window, in my bookmark file.the bookmarks are all there, but I have to open a tab first then left click to open an item. Why can't I right click? The options are there, but not highlighted/clickable.

now it is working?! Go figure. Yeah! Thanks anyway......

Can you right click on ipad 2 and if so how

can you right click on ipad 2 and if so how

You can't. If you are on, for example, Safari then pressing and holding an image or text should give you options e.g. save image (to the Photos app). What are wanting to achieve, and in which app ?

Can I right click on the iPad

Is there any way to simulate a right click in Safari on an iPad?

I'm in Safari and want to right click the page so I can View Source like on a PC. I tried holding down my finger and it just highlights the first word on the page and allows you to copy or define the word. Similarly, if I see an image I want to download or copy I can't right click it.

Photoshop CC 14.2 can't right click scale boxes to change units

Since the 14.2 update I can't right click the scale boxes when I wan to resize an object to change the units for example from % to px.
Using win 8 64bit here.
Anyone can confirme this bug? Everything was working before the update.

John, I know that you are upset with that change dating from CS4. But AFAIK, it is possible to write an action that goes around the problem. Very, very few users change those two settings, you can add a warning about it. You repeat it so often it sounds like a core function of Photoshop everyone uses is broken.
In this very case, I would have liked to get a prompt similar to the one we get on a mac trying to use CMD+H that is used by the system, but is an historical shortcut in Ps.
The only way to create actions that will always work correctly isi to take advantage of the bugs in the implementation of the options. If there is a active selection the option ADD MASKS be DEFAULT has no effect there will always be a MASK added. And If you record adding adjustment layer using the Layer menu and check clip the previous layer in the new adjustment layer dialog the adjust layer will always be clipped. Knowing about the faults in the implementation of the option one can edit all old action and re-record the ADD adjustment layers steps to always have an active selection and Clip then configure the Clipped and masked adjustment the way the want. New Actions need to be recorded to take advantage of the faults also. However if Adobe fixes the faults in the implementation of the option one again actions will be broken. The two options should be removed. Thankfully if the option are left at their default setting Photoshop works as designed. Action will play back correctly. Yes I repeat it often and will. Adobe should fix bugs. Adobe should also not code wrong behavior for the ESC key either. Adobe is shooting Photoshop in the foot. Sometimes I thinf Adobe has a death wish...

Can't right-click in eyeglass view with IE 7

When using the eyeglass icon to view topics in my project, I
used to right-click the mouse and select Back to navigate between
various links. Since IE 7 was installed on my computer, when I am
in that view and right-click the mouse, nothing happens. Any
suggestions?

I couldn't say why RoboHelp is behaving this way for you, I
have IE 7 (using RH X5) and can still right-click and choose Back.
You should also be able to just hit the Backspace key to navigate
backwards as well.

Can't right-click in inbox

I'm trying to use Mail on a new MacBook and there's one odd quirk that's killing me. I can't right-click messages in my inbox (or any other folder, for that matter.) I can control-left-click and get the menu for the item I'm clicking, but right-click does nothing. Is this "normal" behavior? I used Mail once before (it's been awhile, I've never liked Apple's Mail app much) and don't remember having this problem, but that was probably Tiger, or even earlier.

This would seem likely to be a more general issue with the mouse, and not Mail -- right-click works fine for me for this purpose. Does the right-click do the same as Control-click(L) in other situations? What type of mouse is it?

Can't right-click in column view anymore within finder

I've been using macs for ages and this is something I have always done, for some reason recently I have not been able to right-click on files or folders in finder when in column view. If I switch to list to icon view, even cover flow, it works fine. I can also right-click items on desktop and several other places. This is frustrating for me because column view is my preferred method of navigating in finder and it's constantly interupting my workflow recently, not sure if its a bug or a setting but I've been driving myself crazy trying to find a solution.
Any idea what this could be?

HI everybody i want to ask if you come me in help, i want to draw paths but when i use stroke options with pen or brush settings i loose quality when i zoom in , can someone help me with pen settings???

HI everybody i want to ask if you come me in help, i want to draw paths but when i use stroke options with pen or brush settings i loose quality when i zoom in , can someone help me with pen settings???

The work path is a vector object, and infinitely scalable, but when you stroke it, Photoshop lays pixels on a layer that follow the path. These pixels are raster based and can not be scaled without loosing quality. You do have options. If you want to make the raster layer bigger, transform the work path and stroke it again. Or work at a higher resolution in the first place.
Incidentally, you can't stroke a Path with the Pen, because it is a Vector based tool, and stroking is a raster based function.

I can't right-click the Outlook 2010 icon on Win7 desktop taskbar and make a new task, appt, contact, email, nothing...Help

I need help figuring out what happened to the Outlook 2010 icon on my Windows 7 desktop taskbar ribbon.
I keep it at the bottom of my desktop screen. I used to be able to right-click the Outlook icon and I could see options for: New Email Message; New Appointment; New Meeting; New Contact; New Task. I see the options, but it does not create a new anything
when I click on one of those options. It does nothing. I have even right-clicked on one of the options and there is a window that opens saying, "Open." I click it and still nothing. Did I click or unclick an option somewhere under properties
that took that time-saving tool from my choices?

Hi,
Please right click on the Outlook icon in the taskbar, click Unpin this program from taskbar.
Then go to Control Panel, repair Office in Programs and Features.
Start Outlook again, right click on the Outlook icon in the taskbar, choose
Pin this program to taskbar.
If this issue persists, please try the same feature for other programs to determine if it's an Outlook specific issue or Windows Client issue.
Regards.
