Mobile safari right-click?

quick easy question: how do you right click on the ipod touch safari? And make links open in a new tab? Is this even possible?
Thanks,
William

There is no way that I know of. Here is a link to a developer page about the iPhone it is kind of technical but it does have some good information about the differences between a mouse and your screen touch.

Safari Right Click Dock Menu Open New Window

Everyone,
I have just recently found an issue with safari that I hope someone can provide some insight to. I can only open new safari windows if I go thru the top menu bar. I used to be able to right click on the safari dock icon and click "New Window" and I would get a new window opened up to my default homepage. Now when I click it nothing happens.
I have noticed that it is only on my profile as it does not happen on my wife's profile. I forgot to mention that it is OS X 10.5.2 Leopard
I have not loaded anything on the machine other than Apple Updates but it was happening before the updates to 10.5.2. I have tried modifing the pref options but no change.
Any ideas?

Hi
Reinstall Safari. Here's how to do it:
First, move your existing Safari.app to the trash. Next, insert the Leopard Installer DVD. Double Click on the "Optional Installs". Then double click on the Optional Installs.mpkg file. Once open, the Installer will lead you through a few steps. After selecting your HD, the next panel is where you'll find Safari (in the Applications folder. Check the box, then continue.
After Safari is installed, go to your Applications>Utilities folder. There, open Disk Utility. When open, select your HD on the left, then "repair permissions".

Safari Right Click Menu Options

Ever since I updated to Safari 5.0.3 at home, I no longer have all of the numerous drop-down options for saving images when I right click with my Wacom Stylus or my mouse. I only get 3 options. I also have Safari 5.0.3 on my Mac at work, but I still have all of my drop down menu options. There aren't any preferences I can change for this, so what can I do? It's very aggravating to not be able to save pics right to the folders I have set up. I can only download them to the desktop or drag them to opened folders. What gives?
Thanks.

HI,
I no longer have all of the numerous drop-down options for saving images when I right click with my Wacom Stylus or my mouse.
Disconnect the tablet, restart your Mac. Launch Safari and see if the drop down menus function as they should. If so, then re connect the tablet, open System Preferences, select the orange Ink icon. You may need to reset your Wacom tablet preferences.

No options with right click

I had a macbook, but recently upgraded to a mb pro, I cannot in Safari, right click and view page source for instance. I only have the options to go Back or Reload the page.
Any suggestions as to what to do to bring back my options?
Thanks in advance

Safari 6.0 crash when right clicking a link and choosing open in new tab

Hi all, just a general question. I admit i did not search the forums yet. Hopefully this little annoyance can be resolved.
When using safari on say CNN.COM i'll right click on a link and choose Open in new tab. safari randomly disappears. no crash warnings, just gone. I can open it right up and be fine sometimes all day. This has happened to me about 5x since ML was released (i wiped my laptop the day it came out)
This has happened on a couple of different website at different times of the day. only safari was running. No other apple apps have this issue.
I have a MacBook Pro from earily '08 type 4,1
i have only apple software on this machine
i do have adobe flash installed v11.3 updated today.
i do have lastpass enabled
i do have ad-block disabled
While i'm waiting for help from you guys i'll disable all addon's and try to remove adobe to see if that is the issue. Is there any other steps i can try like delete .plist file or maybe even trying a new user profile. I am a IT professional and am not afraid to get my hands dirty trying to get this resovlved.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. i'll search the forums too and if i see a similar post i'll remove this one.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Right clicking no longer works in Safari

Just yesterday, I started experiencing a strange problem with Safari--the right mouse button no longer works. I also tried the right clicking option with command + clicking on the touchpad and that doesn't work either. Right clicking works outside the Safari window and in all other programs, so I'm pretty much baffled. I tried restarting the computer/reopening Safari and it allows me to right click exactly once before the right click option stops working again. I'm not going to use Safari anymore until this problem is resolved, so if anyone has any idea what's going on, please let me know.

While it is possible that a reinstallation is needed, let's start with some easier steps first. I would use some of the techniques described in [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199].
Do you have another user account on the computer? If not, create one (System Preferences > Accounts > Click on the lock to authenticate > click the "+" button to add a new account > fill in required info.) Next, log out of your usual account and log in to the other one. Launch Safari. Does the same issue occur?
If yes, you have a system wide issue. If no, it is a user specific issue. There are different methods for troubleshooting each. Post back here with your results and we'll see what we need to do next.
Best of luck.

Safari does not download files automatically (not able to download at all - unless there is an option for a right click- download the linked file)

Hello all,
I have been having this issue for a while now it starts to get very annoying. Not just Safari, all of my browsers are unable to download any files unless I right click to save. However, for some files/apps there is no way to download at all. For example, when trying to download and install Flash for Safari, I was stuck on a blank web page when the file download was supposed to start, but nothing happened so the installation was unable to proceed. Was trying to download Chrome too, same issue... I could see the download link (as URL) grrr...but it just did not do anything.
Please help!!!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

i can't find my iPhone name when i right click to backup. but i see my backup folder in the mobile sync. how do i get that folder to go into itunes

"Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
They will only be where you put them If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country. You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

Right click "open with" yields 2 copies of "Safari", "Firefox" & "Quicktime

Hi
I have this problem when i right click on a .jpeg .jpg file.
it yields 2 copies of "Safari", "Firefox" & "Quicktime. I have verified and repaired permissions using disk utility but to no avail. can anyone offer any help?
reward pts awarded. thanks in advance.

There are two possiblities: first that you actually have two copies (eg if you have a clone of your stuff on another drive that is mounted when you startup), second that your LaunchServices cache files have gotten out of whack. If it is the first case there is nothing to be done about that, if it is the second you can try deleting the cache files:
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore"
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-0140501.csstore"
The first is the general LaunchServices cache, the second is user specific. After deleting them, restart the computer and new cache files will be created. You will also start seeing the "you are launching xxx for the first time" warning if you are in the habit of launching applications by double clicking their files. Eventually you will be on the second time and stop seeing the warning.

Right click in safari 4.0.3 always causing alert sound

Hi, I've just come across this issue, whenever I right click directly in any web page of safari 4.0.3 (by directly I mean, without any text selected, and not in the input field), an alert sound appears. I've tried checking my mouse settings, repairing disk permissions, restoring defaults of keyboard shortcuts, uninstalling some recently installed software/apps, but none of these works. Yet if I right click with selected text or in input field or in any other application, there's no such issue. I wonder if this is a bug of safari 4.0.3 or what. And now I'm really frustrated and can't figure out what can be done to kick this alert sound away. Please help, thanks in advance.

Safari 4.0.3 crashes on a right-click every time

I just installed the latest security patch specifically in order to install Safari 4 (the one is a requirement for the other). While I was at it I also installed the latest Quicktime update and iTunes 9. I had Saft installed previously for use with Safari 3 but I removed its components as they're not compatible with Safari 4.
Now, however, after restarting and everything I'm finding that Safari crashes every single time I try to right-click on a link (to open in a new tab, for example). EVERY time without fail...or, should I say, with a great deal of fail
This is on a dual G5/2GHz tower running 10.4.11. Can anyone help me sort out this issue? I haven't been able to figure out what's causing it but it's very annoying.
Thanks in advance!
Neal

No I hadn't and no I don't
However, I did just download and install the appropriate version of Saft for Safari 4 on Tiger and that seems to have cleared up the issue. Or, at the very least, hidden it.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Yours,
Neal

I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Why do I have right click to open safari?

Safari icon is in my dock. But I have to right click it to open safari. I do not have to right click to open anything else in my dock.

Delete com.apple.dock.plist
Click on an empty spot on the Desktop to activate Finder.
Hold the option key down and click”Go” menu in the menu bar.
Choose “Library” from the drop-down.
Library > Preferences
Look for com.apple.dock.plist
Right click on it and select “Move to Trash”.
Restart the computer. Try launching Safari.

How to remove sites when right-clicking Safari in the Dock?

Right clicking Safari in the Dock shows 3 sites visited awhile ago. There is a diamond shape before each. And each is repeated several times, 16 for one. I've cleared History, closed Safari, removed it from the Dock, restarted Safari. they're still there. Opening them and deleting just increases the amount.
I'm stymied.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've resolved the issue myself.
First, let me clarify, each of these "sites" had several tabs.
Here's what worked: by Option-clicking on one closes all other tabs. Of course this can be done manually, closing each tab separately.
Once all but one tab is showing click the "close", red circle, button and the site deletes from the Safari list in the Dock.
Not sure why this anomaly happened but I know how to fix it if it should happen again.

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8?

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8 to open the selected website in new windows? I was able to do that in the last version of Safari before upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8.

Having to hold down the command key obviates the ease of use where I used to just click with my scroll wheel to open several of the Top Sites in new tabs.
