Is there a way to open the right click menu on the left side of your pointer?

Whenever I try to right-click an object that's located on the right side of the screen, the pointer always automatically click whatever entry in the right-click menu which just happens to be under the pointer the moment the menu is opened. I noticed that the reason this happens is because the right click menu always forces itself to open on the right side of the pointer, and when there isn't enough space, the right-click menu will open underneath the pointer. Since this is horribly inconvenient, is there a way to open the right-click menu on the left side of your pointer?

Are you saying you have an icon on the far right side and when you rt click on it, your pointer ends up opening wherever it lands? That is a two step process, or normally should be at least a two step process. Do you have a Mouse in your Control Panel? You should check, because there may be some properties with which you can play. For instance, I can switch primary and secondary functions on my mouse buttons by checking a box.
When I rt click on right side, the menu opens on the left.
When I rt click on left side, the menu opens on the right.
In order for me to take an action, I then have to move to an area in that menu and click.
I hope I understood your question correctly.

Is there a way to open the main browser when only the download window is open ?

Many times I have closed the browser by accident, or when to many windows are open and just cleaning up... normally this happens when a download is being done and then when trying to open the browser again it is not allowed for an instance is already running. Is there a way to open the browser back up just from the download window ?? This does cause the pausing and retry of the download of course, but when doing large files ... gigers, many times I have lost it completely, is there a way around this besides the obvious do not close ?

I know of no way to re-open Firefox in your case. However, you can set a preference that will give you a pop-up message when a download is in progress, then you have 2 options presented; continue with closing Firefox which will cancel the download or cancel closing Firefox and the download will continue. This way one last Firefox browser window remains open along with the download window.
To have Firefox warn you when a download is in progress and you choose File > Exit, change a preference:
#type '''about:config''' in the URL/location bar and press the Enter key
#if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
#Filter = browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
#right-click (OSX: Cmd+click) on that preference
#choose Modify
#enter a new value of 2
#click OK
#you may need to restart Firefox for the change to take effect

Is there a way to open the mic using apple remote desktop

Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?

Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
You would have to launch software that would accept audio from the microphone and transmit it to you in some fashion. ARD does not transmit audio itself. Another remote control solution such as Timbuktu might transmit audio, so you could look into that, perhaps.
Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?
You can install a VNC server on the PC and ARD can then take control of the system. It can be tricky to find a VNC system that will work with ARD, though, so search this forum for "VNC" for possible options. One of the applications that support Microsoft's remote desktop architecture such as their own Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or iTap Mobile RDP will probably work better, though.

Testing what? Anything in /dev is entirely foreign to the Finder. Stay in Terminal for that stuff.

Is there a way to adjust the left/right output?

Is there a way to adjust the left/right output on the iPod?
Mine seems to push a little harder on the left side no matter which
ear devices I use. My hearing in my right ear is a little weaker,
so I'm hearing mostly just the left side instead of an equal balance.
My best earphones don't fit the same way when reversed, so they don't
sound anywhere near the way they should. You know the drill-- no
fit, no seal, no bass... no good.
And, yes, I know I can make a crossed connector cable...
Thanks for responding.

using the 30 pin connector means it bypass the volume switch so you can't adjust the volume, see adjust the EQ setting helps. Otherwise you have to add the switch (a pre-amp etc) in between the iPod and your device

HT4399 I have a Mac Book Air and have purchased individually numbers and pages. I was given an excel file on a thumb drive and cannot open it. Is there a way to open the xcl file in numbers?

I have a MacBook Air, and have purchased individually Numbers and Pages. I was sent an Excel file on a thumb drive but cannot open the file. The message states that the Excel file is encryeted. Is ther any way to open a PC file on my Mac Book Air?
Pat and Bob

Excel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats? The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password.

Is there a way to open the last file I used in InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop when I open the app

I want to create a shortcut (Win7) that will automatically open the last file I used in the above apps when I open the app. Is there a command line switch like /r or /l that does that?

Thanks, your point is well taken... It would be nice, though, to have the ability to sort a "Last Used" column in iTunes and select a bunch of apps to remove in one shot.

How can i open the left side of the G4?

Hello!
Have G4 that is starting to sound like an aeroplane. I opened the four screws on the left side of teh computer but it still hangs on to the apple so I can not get the side off. I tried to pull a little but i is stuck.
How do I open the side after i have removed the screws?
There are a lot of dust bunnies/rats etc.
Thanks in advance
Per-Anders

There is a plastic stand-off, that's attached to the (inside) center of the side panels. When pressed into place, two tabs snap-lock the panel securely to the chassis. For the left side, removal of the internal fan assembly will provide access to these two tabs. Gently squeeze them together, and the panel will be released. To avoid breakage, don't use excessive force on them. The right panel requires removal of the logic board, to access the catch/release tabs.

Is there a way to open the settings app from an air app on both iOS and android?

Since you can't change the notifications settings within the app, is there a way to simply open the settings app from an air app? like a link or something like that?

Even on iOS this has only recently been added by Apple for iOS 8 only using the line:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];
So you would have to wrap this in an ANE and then again, only for iOS and only call it in iOS 8+

Is there a way to open the istore in the appstore instead of in music?

In iTunes, when I click on the iTunes Store in the left panel, it takes me to the music store and I have to wait around while it loads, then click on AppStore at the top to go to the apps page. I rarely want to see the music page, so I'd like to just go directly to the AppStore. How can I do that?

When viewing the apps you already have in iTunes there is a link in the bottom right of the window that says Get More Apps. It should take you directly to the App Store.

Is there a way to turn on right clicking on my trackpad?

This is my first Mac and its driving me crazy that I can't right click. I know there's a way to turn right clicking on, but i can't remember how. Anybody know?

Go into System Preferences, Trackpad. It's all there. Under Secondary Click you can invoke right-click with three different gestures of your choice.
In total, OS X gives you many ways to right-click:
Turn on and configure secondary click in Trackpad preferences (two-finger click, bottom left corner click, bottom right corner click).
Control-click.
Use a right-button mouse, or the secondary button on a stylus/trackball/external trackpad
