How do I emulate mouse "right click" on MacBooKPro? The existing responses have been no help.

Late 2012 MacBook pro. Software downloads resulted in boxes with actions menus. Software update now via AppleStore - takes minutes to present then nothing on screen - nothing works. Got a couple of updates. Nothing now.

Mouse not detected.
Are you using an Apple mouse or a 3rd party mouse?

How write Vbscript for Mouse Right Click using UFT 11.5

how write Vbscript for Mouse Right Click using UFT 11.5

Press and hold the Control (Ctrl) key while you click the mouse button. This is identical to right-clicking with a mouse. (Ctrl+click = Right click)
You can try the following:
•Click on and off the 'right click' checkbox in the Mouse System Preferences
•Restart in Safe Mode
•Reset NVRAM / PRAM

How to remove sites when right-clicking Safari in the Dock?

Right clicking Safari in the Dock shows 3 sites visited awhile ago. There is a diamond shape before each. And each is repeated several times, 16 for one. I've cleared History, closed Safari, removed it from the Dock, restarted Safari. they're still there. Opening them and deleting just increases the amount.
I'm stymied.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've resolved the issue myself.
First, let me clarify, each of these "sites" had several tabs.
Here's what worked: by Option-clicking on one closes all other tabs. Of course this can be done manually, closing each tab separately.
Once all but one tab is showing click the "close", red circle, button and the site deletes from the Safari list in the Dock.
Not sure why this anomaly happened but I know how to fix it if it should happen again.

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.

Mouse right-click function doesn't work in Bookmarks (Mac)

I recently switched from PCs to Macs. No problem downloading Firefox and transferring old bookmarks and other settings, with one exception. With the PCs, when I right-clicked a particular bookmark under Bookmarks I got a series of 12 options (from Open, Open in New Window to Delete, Sort by Name, Properties). I used these a lot to delete bookmarks, change names, alphabetize lists, etc. I can now do most of these things under the Manage Bookmarks setting, but when I right click bookmarks now the new bookmark I click on just replaces the one on screen (ie, the right click does exactly what the left click does). I am using two different mice (Apple Mighty Mouse with Leopard, Microsoft Wheel Mouse with Tiger) and the right click function behaves as expected in other programs. Are these mouse right click Bookmark functions supposed to appear with the Firefox for Mac? If so, any ideas how to resolve my problem?

Can someone explain to me why it's possible in Chrome on Mac, but not on Firefox? This is my 2nd biggest complaint about FF on the Mac, only surpassed by missing favicons in bookmarks. Chrome does both very well.

Apple mouse right click function stopped working

After 4 and a half years my Apple mouse right click function on my iMac stopped working. However the mouse works perfectly on my other iMac. The apple store said the problem is in the iMac. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks, jpm3577

First log into another user account on your Mac and see if it work correctly there. If not boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try there. Also try another USB port on the Mac if it's a wired mouse.

Mouse Right-Click menu with JTextField and swing

Hello,
I created a small app for providing an organized gui to insert data and log it to a text file. I just recently converted it to swing to improve the functionality of it and try to get away from some of the bugs I found in using regular java.awt.
So far so good, all of my complaints with regular awt are gone using swing, but I have one problem I see as a real pain.
With a TextField in java.awt you can right click and get the standard mouse-menu. The mouse menu is nice for cut/copy/paste type operations and I do not want to lose this functionality.
But with swing and JTextField I am not getting the menu. I right click in there and get nothing. My UIManager is loading the OS one (windows) and I cannot find a way to recover this feature.
Does anyone know how I can get this working?
Thanks,
Lucas

Well as I posted here to try and see if there was a way to recover what the OS already provides I have struggled through creating a popup menu.
I have the cut, copy, paste and selectall complete but I am struggling with the undo option.

JPopupMenu - disabling mouse right click

Hi,
First of all, before I write the problem here, I searched a lot but I actually could not find the desired solution.
The problem is;
I have a JPopupMenu. As you know, all mouse clicks (left click, middle click and right click) do the selection in popup menu and then it tries to perform the related action. Finally, the popup menu disappears. But, what I want actually is that "my popup menu will not respond to the mouse right click and will not disappear after that right click".
Can anyone say how to make that happen?
Thanks a lot.

The following is an example code, and I did not the details of how the popup menu showed. I just showed how the actions are added to the popup menu elements. In this example, in the popup menu there are Text1, Text2 and Text3 selections and their actions are added like in the code. So, my actions are seperate for each element in the popup menu. Now, how can I make the mouse right click will not enter the related selection's actionPerformed (e.g; Text1, Text2) and the popup menu will not disappear?
public class JPopupMenuTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JPopupMenuTest popupTest = new JPopupMenuTest();
        JPopupMenu popupMenu = new JPopupMenu();
        popupMenu.add(popupTest.new Text1Action());
        popupMenu.add(popupTest.new Text2Action());
        popupMenu.add(popupTest.new Text3Action());
    class Text1Action extends AbstractAction {
        public Text1Action() {
            super("Text1");
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            // Here is the Text1 action performed
    class Text2Action extends AbstractAction {
        public Text2Action() {
            super("Text2");
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            // Here is the Text2 action performed
    class Text3Action extends AbstractAction {
        public Text3Action() {
            super("Text3");
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            // Here is the Text3 action performed
}

Mouse Right Click & Batteries

Hi,
I'm new to Mac (A 20+ year Microsoft customer) and am puzzeled by what is considered "normal" in the Mac world...
1. I am using the latest Mac mouse and it uses up two batteries every couple of days... My Microsoft mouse uses one battery and last 3 to 4 months... What is normal for a Mac mouse?
2. I am an avid fan of the right click on the mouse... The Mac mouse operates for only a few hours a day and then goes away... The only way I can bring it back to life is to put in new batteries...
So as you can see I am really going through the batteries... Is this how Mac users live, did I make a mistake moving to a Mac???

the battery usage isnt normal, mine lasts about 3-4 months with the bluetooth mightymouse. maybe try turning the mouse off when not in use
as for the right click option on the MM, it took me a while to figure it out, but it only works when there are no fingers present on the left side. say you are right clicking with your middle finger and your index finger is resting on the left side, it will normall click. it took a me a few days to get used to lifting my index finger when i right click but now im used to it
hope this helps
