  • How to initiate right click functions of a pc mouse on track pad on MBP

    I use the Microsoft Outlook Web App for work.
    When Im viewing the website from work on a desktop PC I scroll down the left margin to "Calendar" right click the mouse and am given the option to create a new calendar.
    How  do I do  the same thing from my Macbook pro. And if there is no such thing as being able to "right click" from mbp to get a pop up to appear that will allow me to create a new calendar --- how do I actually create a new calendar using this "Outlook" thing by Microsoft on my macbook pro.
    thanks in advance.

    All set.
    Thanks anyways.

  • 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.

  • How do I right click without a mouse?

    How do I right click without a mouse?

    If you don't like the two finger tap (I don't - it doesn't seem to work consistently) you can asign one corner as a right-click or simply use the control click with one finger on the bottom (which is what I do, usually - just a habit left over from the old days).

  • How do I right click on OLD Apple mouse that is white / oval shape?

    How do I right click on the older version of Apple mouse?
    Please do not tell me to buy a new one, I myself have new mac mini with trackpad, but need to help friend in wheelchair who lives in healthcare facility fix an app on his iMac, need to right click to do it.  We cannot get on internet there to download mouse drivers for a different mouse.
    Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

    Look for secondary (right) click settings in Mouse system preference.  If there are none then the mouse does not have right-click.  In that case you can right-click by holding the Control key while clicking.

  • How do i right click when a red line appears under a misspelled word?

    i need help. im new to pages, and when i misspell a word a red line shows up underneath just like in micrsoft word, but the problem is i dont know how to correct it. how do i right click to view the correct spelling?

    Double-click to highlight the word & then right-click just as you would anywhere elese. Suggestions will be at the top of the list. Many times there are no suggestions.
    Of course, make sure secondary click is turned on in the mouse preferences in System Preferences.

    how do i right click on my iphone 4s

    You don't. There is no such thing as a 'right click' since there is no mouse, and no mouse buttons.  In some cases, you can touch and hold to get a list of options for a link, etc.

  • HT3986 How do I right click on Windows installed using Bootcamp?

    How do I right click on Windows installed using Bootcamp?

    It should work the same way it does in OSX, but for it to work correctly, you need to install the Boot Camp drivers in Windows. You can do this by using the Boot Camp Assistant in OSX, then creating the "Windows support software (drivers)" package. Follow the instructions there, then use the resulting thumbdrive to install the drivers and apps into Windows. Then you should be able to two-finger-click the touchpad or right-click your mighty mouse or other two-button-enabled mouse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4407 for more info on this.
    Caveat: I've done this, and I've found that the two-finger-click in Windows is iffy. That is, it frequently triggers a left-click function instead of right-click. :-/

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • 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.

  • How Do You Right Click On A Macbook

    How do you right click on a macbook. i'm brand new to all this mac stuff. I dont want to have to buy a mouse for it.

    Under OS X you can also set it so that you place 2 fingers on the trackpad and click. This means you can do it with one hand and not have to press any keys to do it. Just go to system preferences> keyboard and mouse> trackpad and check the box that says place two fingers on trackpad and click for secondary click.
    I am using this method and its seems to work fine.
    Hope that helps.
    Dib.

  • 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 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.
