Magic Mouse won't right click on files, but works fine otherwise. 10.6.8

My Magic mouse just suddenly seemd to stop right clicking on files. I can right click on blank sapces in finder or on the desktop and it gives me the usual drop down menu but as soon as I try and right click or ctrl+click on a file there's just nothing. Can't seem to find any similar problems on google. Any ideas?

Hi, yes. The right click would work at start-up until I click on 'always allow' for permissions for google drive, then it dissappears
Unfortunately I found no other workaround other than to switch to the other views (although I strongly dislike working in the other views). But I just use Drive in my internet browser when I do use it, so it's okay for me to uninstall it. Maybe it's something to contact google about so they can fix it on there side.

  • My Magic Mouse won't double click

    I cannot double click with my new magic mouse (or older wired logitech mouse) to open anything, whether it be in finder, the desktop, iTunes etc...
    I'm sure that it isn't the fault of the iMac as there has been no update or change of settings.

  • Mouse won't right click

    I've just bought an apple mouse, and although I've gone into preferences and set the right hand side as 'secondary button', it does not right click. Can anyone help out? I'm using it with a MacBook Pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.4.
    Thanks!

    Oops - never mind. I restarted and now it works fine.

  • Inside the browser, right click on the mouse seems to be disabled. How can I enable the right click button? It works fine on toolbars and tab bar but not inside tabs or windows. I would like to be able to copy and paste and such. Thank you

    Right mouse button does not open any menu when clicked inside of tabs or windows. Works properly on the toolbars, in the address line, search bar...etc. but has no action on the page I'm browsing. I purchased a mouse recently and like the old one, the right button works in all other areas of my operating system. I would like to know if there is a setting in firefox that I can change to correct this.

    There are also websites that can disable the right-click context menu.
    See Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
    [ ] "Disable or replace context menus"
    There are other things that need attention:

  • Mouse won't scroll for one User but works for another

    I recently updated to a new Imac and restored the computer from time machine from our old IMac which didn't have mountain lion update.  All works fine except when logged onto our Kids account the mouse wont scroll pages by sliding finger on the mouse. Tried changing in Preferences when logged on to this user to no avail. Mouse scrolls perfectly when logged on as Administrator.

    Hi Mick, this is a new one on me!?
    Were these Kids' account migrated from the older OS version? If so I suspect some 3rd party app that is no longer working in 10.8
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD into one of those accounts, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Also look in System Preferences' Other row.

  • Podcast episodes won't download in iTunes app (but works fine on desktop)

    Hi, I can't figure this out:
    Our podcast episodes simply won't download in the iTunes app on iPhone. The download simply stops at 10.3 kB (or sometimes at another value), without really getting started at all.
    This is very odd, since downloads are working fine in iTunes on the desktop, and in other apps on the phone (such as Instacast).
    Here's the iTunes-page for the podcast:
    http://itunes.apple.com/no/podcast/filmfrelst/id303539607?l=nb
    And here's the RSS feed URL:
    http://montages.no/filmfrelst_files/rss.php
    (The podcast is called "Filmfrelst", and is searchable in the iTunes app)
    Any clues?

    OK, seems like I located the problem - sort of.  It's not the feed that's the issue, but rather the fact that I'm pushing my MP3-files through a PHP script which does some statcounting. If I access the MP3 files directly, the iTunes app downloads them OK.
    So I'm guessing maybe my headers aren't exactly what the iTunes app is expencting? Here's a snippet from the PHP file which outputs the MP3 data:
    header('Content-Type: audio/mp3');
    header('Content-Length: 'filesize($location));
    @readfile($location);

  • Sending jpeg (pictures) files from my phone to my hotmail email come thru as txt files, but works fine with my friends

    Picture files sent from my phone come thru as txt files to my email instead of jpeg. but when I copy to others it goes thru as jpeg fine.

    Sorry let me correct something and give you some additional info. First I spelled .jpg wrong, and second my phone will send pictures to my mail 60 or so % of the time as .jpg and everything is fine but for no apparent reason some times they go thru as ,txt to my hotmail account email. I will also add if I copy a friend with the same picture they will get it as .jpg and be fine.

  • Problem with address bar: won't execute typed in URL but works fine with bookmark address or links

    Address Bar: Typing in URL and cannot access page (nothing happens hitting <enter>). Using bookmarks or links works just fine.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Program Error from running the *,exe file but works fine running with CVI

    When starting CVI created program on Win 2000, I get message “Program Error”.
    I have created a program using NI/CVI version 5.5. I am running windows 2000, I get message

    It works fine when running directly from the compilier, but if I run just the *.exe I get this error.  I never used to.
    Please let me know if anyone else had this problem or knows solution.
    Thank you very much.

    In the debugger unitialized globals are initialized to zero, but not for a release .exe.  So if you are checking whether a global pointer is NULL before it is set to a value by your application it will generally work fine in the debugger but may crash as a release configuration depending on what you use that pointer for.  That's a common thing I have run into.

  • Attachment won't open on one iPhone, but works fine on the other. Why?

    2 iPhones with the same iOS version receive 1 email with an attachment from an Outlook user: one iPhone can open the attachment, the other can't (it only shows as winmail.dat). Why is this and how can I get it to open? Thanks!

    He advised me to 'back up' everything and 'reformat' the computer.
    I have been looking at how to do these tasks - not 100% on both.
    The quickest way to do this is to create a clone copy of your existing internal Macintosh HD. You can create this copy using applications like Data Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper!.
    I use an external USB HDD for the clone copies.
    The following AppleInsider article will give you an idea on how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone backup of your Mac's hard drive.

  • Magic Mouse Won't reconnect

    I've had this new magic mouse for less than a week. It worked fine until today. I've been turning off the mouse at night. When I woke my computer today, the mouse wouldn't connect. I also tried using my mighty mouse to delete from the Bluetooth preference pain and start the process over. It didn't work.

    Can you tell if Bluetooth is working and devices discoverable (by looking at the Bluetooth icon in the right of the menu bar)? If so, just a guess, but try:
    - turning off the Magic mouse,
    - removing the batteries,
    - if possible test their strength, if standard batteries, they should be 1.5V
    - reinserting the batteries,
    - turning on the mouse,
    - clicking the mouse a few times.
    If this fails and your Mighty mouse and keyboard is working, try to reset PRAM.
