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.

How do I right click on the iPad screen?

I did try that, but got only three options: open, open in new window, and copy. I'm trying to download a PDF file that's posted on https://bb.uis.edu/webapps/login/. It'd be nice to do that directly to my iPad without having to go home, download it to my computer, and then transfer it to my iPad.
It's hard to believe that the feature just isn't there, since this is such a common Web operation. I keep thinking that I just need to find the right trick.

How do I right click on a Macbook mid 2009 13"? It does it randomly sometimes and I don't know how or what I'm pressing!?!?

It's weird, sometimes right click works on adobe flash chatrooms because the settings button comes up. I don't know what I'm pressing or touching to make right click work but it sometimes randomly works.

Hi Achilles,
See the previous replies on how to configure a trackpad (or mouse) in System Preferences for a right click (secondary click). I gave up on that and I now use control click. It does the same thing and is easier for me. Press and hold the control key, then click the trackpad. That brings up the contextual menu:

How do you right click on an iPad 2?

Everyone always says that to right-click on an iPad, you just tap and hold. In most cases, this is true. I've found it very helpful, and a great tip. The issue arises when I try to use a feature on a website that requires the ability to right-click, only to find that that "handy" maneuver is not accepted. Not only have I tried the "tap and hold" trick on this website, I have also tried other tips I found elsewhere on the internet; double-clicking and tapping with two fingers together to name a few. None of them work. So. Could anyone tell me if they know of any other possibilities, or if it is impossible? I'd love your help with this issue. :)

Well, my computer isn't working very well at the moment, so I am currently using my iPad for anything Internet-related (including this). I was checking up on my Pokefarm account the other day, and I wanted to move one of my party pokemon to a field. To do this, you have to right-click on it, and then select which field you wish to move it to from the menu that appears. My main issue is that whatever I try, I can't right-click.

Hold down the shift key
On yours it's the SHIFT key?
Out of the box, most Macs use the "fn" key in concert with the trackpad tap to perform right clicks.
On all three of my Macs, it is the fn key that is used. The shift key does nothing in regard to trackpad clicks, except It does however make all text selected to the right of the cursor.

If you right-click an image you can select to "Block Images" from the site, but how do you reverse this choice?

If you right-click an image on a web page you can select to
"Block Images from [the url of the site]".
This works well, particularly to make the page printer-friendly, but how do you reverse this choice to see the images again?

You can see all permissions for the current page in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
If it is from a different domain then use this:
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

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 ?

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 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).
