Imac v10.6 has no right click feature

Can anyone help. I use to have a right click feature on the magic mouse that comes with a new iMac. it use to work till I updated my software to v10.6. Holding down the "control" key allows me to access the right click function but I like using the mouse. Any ideas on this topic.

Go you your System Preferences and click the mouse under your hardware section then click the "Secondary click box and select Right from the drop down box.

  • How can I cut and past on imac without a left and right click on mouse?

    Trouble cut and pasting on an imac since mouse has no right and left clicks...how can I highlight something and cut and paste somewhere else?

    Holding the Mouse button down and dragging across text should highlight it, and Command-C Command-V should allow you to copy/paste.

  • Multi-Touch Right click feature on 1st Gen. MBP

    I have a 1,1 MBP, and the new ones are pretty cool, but not awesome enough to convince me to buy a new one. However, the right click feature on the multi-touch pads are amazing. I'm wondering if any one has figured out how to get it to work on an older Pro.
    The only reason why I think that it's possible is that the track-pad of the older mbp does recognize when there are two fingers present and allows you to scroll up down left right etc. Why would it not be coupled with a click to allow for a right click function?
    Anyway, thanks for your time.

    It's true that the first 15" MBPs did not support two-finger taps (although my 1st gen 17" did). I thought that had been fixed in a software update. So, when you look in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Trackpad tab, there's no option for "Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click"? (Clicking has to be enabled for that, else the option is place 2 fingers on pad and click button). There should be!
    There was a hack released just after the 17" came out to get that functionality onto the 15" MBPs at the time, you can check it out here:

    Hope this helps...

  • Right-click feature not working in Captivate 4.0

    Hello:
    I am new to Captivate 4.0 and have a huge problem.  I create software simulation training modules and publish them as .swf files. I then save them to a shared network folder where our web team links to them on our company Intranet site.  The right-click feature is not working in any of the modules. I have changed my Preferences to remove the Enable Accessibility checkmark and publish to Flash Version 9.  I understand that this is probably a Flash security setting problem.  How do I make this work so that all 15,000 users at our company can view these modules and have the right-click feature work?  Any help is greatly appreciated as I am getting very frustrated as I upgraded to 4.0 specifically for the right-click feature! I know very little about Flash and hope there is someone who can help me in simple "layman's" terms.

    Hi there
    Are you opening the Captivate by pointing only at the SWF? I ask because I believe the associated HTML file Captivate creates is involved. So if you are only opening via the SWF it would stand to reason the Right-click would fail.
    If it's the Flash Security settings, you would be well advised to consider migrating the content from a network server to a Web Server. (company Intranet)
    Cheers... Rick

  • I can't get my iMac to respond only the right click works

    I can't get my iMac to restart itt seems to start Rita back where it was when I restart and my mouse is not responding right. I can't get it to click regularly. Only the right click works

    Which mouse and iMac do you have? Over the past 4 years or so there have been at least 3 mice that work on Intel based iMacs.
    The first place to check is the mouse's preferences which are at System Preferences - Mouse.
    If they are set correctly then do a SMC reset and see if that solves the issue:
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • 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

    Hi,
    This depend on the make/model of your hardware, and, the software/drivers currently installed, the steps will vary.
    For your model, i search the information from Lenovo website:
    You could have a try. For more further information, i suggest you ask Lenovo support for help.

  • When clicking "open in new tab" a link that is on the bookmarks toolbar, but hidden (meaning that they are visible when clicking on arrows on right side) nothing happens. Actually all right click features do not work on those "hidden" bookmarks.

    I have lots of bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar, so they some are hidden on the right side, you have to click on those arrows in order to reveal those, and that's were I found out that right clicking on any of those bookmarks does not have any effect.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Right-click on Magic Mouse and Volume Controls on Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working

    I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on an Late 2012 iMac.
    One morning the right click on my Magic Mouse and the volume controls on the wireless keyboard stopped working.
    These mouse and keyboard themselves seem fine; they work okay ehn used on a MacBook.
    Everything else about the mouse and keyboard is fine.
    This seems to be a problem what has been around for a whole, with a wide variety of solutions.
    I have read
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16799039#16799039
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23474052#23474052
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19660884#19660884
    and have tried
    Clicking on and off the 'right click' checkbox in the Mouse System Preferences - No effect
    Deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - No effect
    Restarting in Safe Mode - When starting in safe mode, the computer crashes out and restarted
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM - Is it CTRL+CMD+P+R or CMD+OPT+P+R ?  Neither work for me (I do try it using a wired keyboard, but never get the double chime)
    Upgraded to 10.9.2 - no effect
    Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext and and back in (and re-authenticate) - No joy
    Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext from a working MacBook on same OS - Made the keyboard misbehave even more
    Has anyone got any other cures for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is what worked for me.  My scrolling on the mighty mouse and a few buttons on my wireless keyboard weren't working properly.  I reset the SMC, a link explaining the process is below.  Hope it helps you too!

  • Shortcut to enable/disable right click

    I searched this topic a bit in a forums to no result.  Does anyone know if there is some type of automation script that can be written to enable and disable mouse right clicks?  The purpose would be for my daughter who has trouble using the right click feature.

    I'm sorry, allow me to clairfy more.  My daughter has issues with going into the system settings and changing it.  If it is possible to have an icon on the dock or desktop that can be double clicked to automatically disable it, that would be ideal. 
    I understand how to manually turn it on and off....its the script part that is more of the question.

  • Right click work around !!!solved!!!

    Hi
    I am new to apple, my mouse has no right click button, how do I spell check in firefox.
    Message was edited by: peebly

    Hello, 
    In Firefox 1.5 I wasn't getting an auto spell check, but in Firefox 2 mistakes are red underlined and corrected with a right click.
    The best way to setup right click has been described above but you can also hold down the ctrl key and left click to get a right click.

  • Acrobat Pro 7: right click option to Open in a New Window

    Hello,
    We are using Adobe Acrobat Pro v7, and we oftentimes like to view PDFs in separate windows.  To do this, the first file can be openeb by double clicking thefile in Explorer, and for subsequent files, we just right click on the PDF and select Open in a New Window.  This works perfectly fine; however, not everyone has the right click option to Open in a New Window.  The DO have the same version of Acrobat, but just not this functionality.  How do we go about getting this right click context added for the others?  Thanks.

    Yes.  Everyone is on Windows XP SP2.

  • Set my background image with right click?

    Is there a way to set a picture as my desktop background without looking through tiny pictures in system prefs? I just want the right click feature. The only way this works is if you right click a picture ONLINE, but this doesnt work in my pictures folder...

    You can always drag a picture from your folder into Safari, then right click and select "Use Image as Desktop Picture"--might hit a snag though with some things in portrait orientation, they can display in landscape.
    Another option is make an Automator action, save it as a plug-in for Finder. You then right click, go to More, Automator, and select your action and get the new Desktop.

  • Magic wand no right click (pc) menu

    magic wand tool no longer has the right click (pc) sub menu, i have to change to the quick selection tool in order to acess the sub menu to deselect or layer via copy etc? is anyone else having the same issue?

    Did you upgrade to Ps CC 14.2? I can confirm that the right click context menu does not appear with the magic wand tool on Windows 7 64-bit with the latest upgrade. There may be other surprises.
    Another posting here also complains about right clicks missing context menus. More confirmed right click context menu issues on Windows here.
    (Advice to the wise and wary: never be the first to upgrade; let others find the bugs.)
