I used to right click on a picture....

So, I got my MB today. I have a great picture a friend sent thru gmail and I want that to be my background. When I used windows I used to right click and it gave the option of saving as background....what do I do now I am completely NEW to MAC and havent a clue! HELP!!!

You can set up your MacBook to do a function similar to "right clicking". Go to System Preferences, select Keyboard & Mouse, under Trackpad Gestures select the box that says "place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click". Now when you touch the trackpad with two fingers and click, a "menu window" appears with options similar to right clicking!

In the past I was using Photoshop 7 to make Web Photo Gallery. My friend could right click on the pictures from my website and save it in their computer.
Recently I have bought and registered your Lightroom 5 and have updated it to 5.6. But can not program it to create Photo Web Galleries that after uploading to my website would allow my friends to down load the pictures from the album to their computer. How could I do it? Please step by step. Thank you M. Mehdi Akhavein

Are you producing HTML galleries with Lightroom (not Flash galleries)?

I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'

If you select that right-click context menu entry then you block all images from that domain and not one specific image, so do not use that.
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions (e.g. sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open.
Similary, if I scan an image and save it as a PDF file in pictures, I'm suddenly not able to open it either!
Why?

Move the com.apple.screencapture.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and try again.
BTW, use the default 10 point setting for text. Your choice just wastes screen space.

In firefox 4 I don't have the option to save picture as when right clicking on a picture in facebook. my friends say they do. why can't I ?

How to always rotate objects around the same point, even using the right-click menu?

I need some of my objects to always rotate around the same point. How can I select a point which will stay that way?
Using the rotate tool resets after deselecting.
Also, I'd like to rotate objects around a certain point even when using the right click > Transform > Rotate.
Is it possible?

Right, so this is where Illustrator falls short with respect you your need, but only in the sense that the reference point can't be made to stick. You can, however, use Smart Guides to make it so the point is easy to set at exactly the same location, (especially since your object has an anchor point there), manually before each rotation.

I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. I only have a previous version re-install disc as I bought the latest OSX off the app store. Any help gratefully received?

Hmmm, no, no drivers needed, now it sounds like a bad install... unless you might have some old Mouse software installed???
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Downloaded 3.6.13 today and now I can not use my right click function when trying to open a new tab!

When browsing the net I can not use my right click function on a link to open a new tab. How can I fix this? It was working fine until I downloaded 3.6.13 Firefox this am.

I un-installed the yahoo toolbar and my problem was solved!!!!

I can't access menu items, nor use mouse right click

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and all of a sudden I cant use the mouse to access the menu items, nor use the right click menus. I can click on button and links with the left button, but right clicking on a link does not bring up the usual menu. I recall this happening in the past, but an exit and restart of the program cleared it up. Reboot are not fixing the problem, nor reinstallation ( after removal).

It seems it could be a profile corruption issue, but not quite!
I was having the same issue (I'm running Lucid Lynx) and after starting Firefox with the -profilemanager option and using the default profile, I was able to access the menu items and get a right-click options menu. I then shutdown Firefox and restarted with my regular profile and it is now working just fine!
A little weird, but hey, I can access the menu items as per normal.
FYI: I had to purge and reinstall Adobe Flashplugin just yesterday then today I got this problem soon after one application crashed in Wine - not sure if all these things are related though!
Ciao,

I am on a dating site, andI right click on a picture and clicked on the wrong option, and now I can't see my pictures, or another picture when I click on it.

OK...I am on this site, I clicked on a picture and then right clicked on it...after reading my options when a box came up...I clicked " block images " from the site...I really didn't mean to block the images...How can I unblock the images...I even blocked all of my pictures from me seeing them...but someone else on the site can see them...because they are still there to them, but not to me...

With the site on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

I can't use the right click to set jpg as wallpaper anymore

Try holding down the control key and then click.

How do I right click and save pictures in flash

Hey,
I am wondering if its possible to create a flash button that
says 'save as' when you right click one of the pictures in flash.
Just like in HTML how you can easily right-click and save a
picture, I want to be able to do the same thing but in flash. Is
this possible? Would I use something like dynami pictures that are
outside the flash file but in the same folder and will be placed in
the flash movie when called upon? I very curious, please let me
know of any ideas you may have.

Call the button "target" (instance name) than your photo
image1234567.jpg
and paste it to timeline frame.
If you right click Target Movie clip, you will have the
download option.
Need to upload and test online, won't work in working
environment or browser
run from desktop.
function down() {
fileRef.download(foto, "image1234567.jpg");
var foto = "image1234567.jpg";
var my_cm = new ContextMenu ();
var menuItem_cmi = new ContextMenuItem ("Download The
Photo", down);
my_cm.customItems.push(menuItem_cmi);
my_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
target.menu = my_cm;
var listener = new Object ();
listener.onSelect = function (file) {
trace ("onSelect: " + file.name);
listener.onCancel = function (file) {
trace ("onCancel");
listener.onOpen = function (file) {
trace ("onOpen: " + file.name);
listener.onProgress = function (file, bytesLoaded,
bytesTotal) {
trace ((("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded) + "
bytesTotal: ") + bytesTotal);
listener.onComplete = function (file) {
trace ("onComplete: " + file.name);
listener.onIOError = function (file) {
trace ("onIOError: " + file.name);
var fileRef = (new flash.net.FileReference());
fileRef.addListener(listener);

Can't use toolbar, right-click menu or hyperlinks

For some reason when I open a PDF, the bottom toolbar that fades in and out does not function at all. I can't click the save, print, zoom, next page buttons. Also, when you right click on the PDF, the menu appears in a different spot than where you clicked. I also have the issue that I cannot click any hyperlinks in the PDF. When I hold my mouse over them, it rapidly switches between the text editing mouse icon and the finger hand mouse icon.. I have also noticed that when you try to move the fading toolbar, that the toolbar you have clicked and started to drag appears far above/below where the mouse is.
I have tried playing with many of the settings in the Edit > Preferences panel, with no luck on any of the. I have also fully uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader X with no luck. I have tried opening the PDF on multiple other computers and they can all open and function properly. I am not using a work around by downloading the PDF and using the actual Adobe Reader rather than the IE version. (I have also tried opening the PDF in FireFox and it too has the same issue.) Any suggests would be great, I have no clue what else to do! Thank you in advanced

I think I have solved the problem. If anyone else is having an issue with this, try looking at your font size settings in Control Panel > Display (Windows 7) . It needs to be set to iether 100% or 125% for Adobe Reader to work correctly.

I used to right click on a picture....
