How to turn of control-click right click on iMac?

Hi! I've been trying to use pixlr.com, a photo editor, and one of the tools requires that I control-click to activate a tool. However when I control-click it brings up a contextual/right-click menu and I can't use the tool. Does anyone know how to turn this off?
Thanks!
Shea

Your right click button is probably set to do something else.
Go to System Preferences then Mouse then Point & Click then Secondary click choose Left or Right. If you'r using a Trackpad it is just the same only this time you have three choices.

How can I remove the default right click option of the text Area control?

How can I remove the default right click option of the text Area control?
Is there any way to disable this control in any of the text controls available?

The iPhone does not store email addresses for received mail. The iPhone stores all email addressees for sent mail in a list of previous recipients. The list of previous recipients is not synced with Outlook or any address book, but the list of previous recipients is included with the iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The auto-addrss feature pulls from your contacts on the iPhone and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail.app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients on the iPhone to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
The only way to purge the existing list at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
Hopefully access to the list of previous recipients will be included with the iOS 5 update.

Tracking system events.. Mouse double click / Right click in OS environment

Hello all,
I have stored files in my computer which are generated using my application.These files own my application specific file extension. I have registered the file association to windows registry and when each time the file is opened in OS environment (using double click or rignt click on the icon--> open etc.,).. i need to access the file's absolute path in order to open it using my application. How to track those system events (Double clicks, right click--> open etc.,)..can anyone help me out??..
Thank you in advance!!

Yeah.. the OS will pass the necessary information. How do my application will receive the parameter?.. That has to be done by my coding.. right??..
For example, if an .doc file is opened the OS will open MS-Word and how ll the MS-Word get those parameters. In the same way, how can i receive that parameters to my application..?..this is where i am struggling... i use J2SDK1.4.2_11 and Eclipse 3.1.
Expecting ur response!!
Thanks in advance!!

Issue with desktop Opt/Click (right click) & 'Change Desktop Background'

I have an issue with the opt/click in the desktop in ML 10.8.2. The 'Change Desktop Background' using opt/click (right click) works after reboot, but fails to open (work correctly) thereafter. The 'System Preferences' icon bounces in the dock but nothing else happens, I have either click on the SP icon or re-opt/click (R click) again to get it working. All else seems to be in order but not this. I have tried this with 2 complete full installs & still doesn't work correctly (same issue. I have reported it to Apple, but I was wondering if anyone else experiencing this problem?

So, here's what I've learned so far.
Fresh reboot. Works fine. Close and try again, doesn't work. This you already know.
Here's what I tried to see if it makes a difference:
I removed:
~/Library/Caches
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.*, com.apple.systempreferences.* and com.apple.desktop.*
That didn't help.
I tried it in safe mode. Same issue.
Here's something interesting I noticed. If you open terminal and killall Finder, that refreshes it and makes it work again... for 1 try.
This does, in fact, seem like a bug.
For reference, I'm currently on a mid 2012 macbook pro. Running fully updated on mt lion.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration. 
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

MBP not turning on and only right clicking?

Hello all!
I own a MBP purchased in November 2009. Yesterday after it had been closed for maybe an hour after use it would only right click when I used the trackpad. No matter where I clicked, and later we plugged in a mouse and it would still only right click. I then decided to re-start the computer as most problems I have are fixed when I restart. After it was turned off it would not turn back on, the battery was quite low. I took it to my friend and she got it to turn on (I guess after we pressed the power button enough times it just worked) once it was on we tried clicking and it still only right clicked. Since it was running on reserve battery power (which it does often, 95% of the time I run it down to reserve then charge it back up fully or almost fully) we plugged it in for the night. I realized that the fan was not turning off, as when I usually shut it, the fan will turn off almost instantly and even doing a lot of things at once it would only take a minute or too. I waited at least 10 minutes and the fan was still running and it was plugged in. In the morning the fan was not on because it had turned itself off. It was almost like the computer thought that the lid was still open and maybe it wasn't charging (but the battery lights say it is full) Does anyone know what I can do about this?

How can I change the hotkey assignments for options listed in the context-click (right-click) menu?

How can I change the letter assignments designated to the options that appear in the right-click drop-down menu?
I frequently save specific items and inspect elements in webpages, however currently the key assignment for 'View Page Info' is the letter ' i ', which inconveniently is located out of the reach of my left hand.
Rather than forcing ambidextrous mouse usage to allow my right-hand to rest on the keyboard, if I could be pointed in the right direction for customizing these assignments I would greatly appreciate it. I have been able to disable some of the menu items I don't use with firebug but didn't see/didn't know how to go about customizing this option in about:config or deeper in the program files.
Thanks ahead of time, I'm sure this will be a quick and hopefully easy file/preference name assignment I just need to add, I just couldn't find any forums that had already addressed the request.

While that add-on is pretty useful and handy for customizing the keyboard shortcuts for items housed in the Menu Bar, it does not provide the resource to change the key combinations assigned to items in the context-click menu
(the one that appears when you right-click a HTML element or image or such with specific actions pertaining to the item you clicked on - See image)

Control-click / right-click doesn't work in finder!

Hi.. I just installed OSX Tiger. I also have an Apple mighty mouse. When i right click (or control-click) on the desktop, or within finder, it simply restarts finder and refreshes the desktop, instead of bringing up a menu as normal. This is annoying as it happens when I right click on icons too. The mouse is working, as the right click works within programs. I have checked the 'contextual menu items' folders and, as far as I can see, there are no offending objects. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

hi, sorry, not posting a solution, just adding to the query... the same thing is happening to me with an old MS intellimouse mouse. seems to be random, as far as i can tell, i am right-clicking on various files, almost always to then move them to the trash.
there, i just tried it again, the first time, i right-click, the contextual menu comes up, i click away, then right-click the same file again and this time the desktop goes empty, all files gone, a second later they're back...
weird...

How to remove old items from right-click contextual menus?

So, I've installed two versions of Photoshop. The older CS4 and then recently upgraded to CS5. I've uninstalled some items (Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4) from the system using the Adobe uninstaller. But for some strange reason, if I control-click or right-click on an item, say a PDF, Photoshop CS4 or Illustrator CS4 Still show up in the list ...
I've searched the ~/Library/ folder and can't find a Contextual menus folder.
In the /Library/Contextual menus folder only 1 item is listed even if I show all files.
Any ideas? I'm very much lost and I would really like to have the applications that no longer exist on the drive removed from the list... Thanks in advance

How do I get the old right click menu back after updating to 7.0.1?

I want the old commands back in the right click menu rather than the new ones.

There was a bit of a change between Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions, and Firefox 4.0 and later versions, as far as context menus, but I don't see any difference is the web pages I have viewed as far as any missing items - using a default Profile in Firefox 3.6.23, 4.0.1, 5.0.1, 6.0.2 and 7.0.1 versions. The information provided is too ambiguous to provide an exact answer.
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

How can I disable the touchpad right click feature?

I don't know how exactly, but I believe that on my Pavilion 15 laptop it is possible to right click by doing some weird tap thing on the touchpad. I only want to right click using the right click button and find it annoying when I try to use the touchpad to normal click but it right clicks instead.
When I go to the synaptics settings panel I can't see anything about disabling the right click on the touchpad feature. ANy idea how I can disable it? The touchpad is the same texture/look for all of it - I can't see or feel any designated right click zone. Thanks

How do I modify the file right-click context menu to add "creat shortcut"?

I have just chosen Mozilla as my browser and want to add shortcuts to files by using the right-click context menu, but there is no "create shortcut" choice displayed.

Could you describe where you're clicking, exactly? Are you clicking on a web page, or clicking a link on a web page? If you are using Firefox to browse files on your hard drive, you're probably better off using Windows Explorer to do that since Firefox doesn't have all the functions of Windows.
