Mouse Right- Click not working

yes, I firstly checked that the secondary button is set as right click. I disabled it and restarted the computer, but is not working, any ideas?
Cheers,
Daniel

It may be LaunchServices. These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices: (Edit: be sure to copy the entire command the text box is a slider)
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Mighty mouse right click not working...

Hi,
I've recently bought my macbook pro in the summer along with a wireless mighty mouse. after working on the computer a while, the right click function stops working! i tried installing the software that comes with the mouse but i get the same results...
any suggestions?
thanks in advance!

. Follow the steps for disassembling the MM on many of the web sites until you have the upper shell separated from the base. I found removing the bottom grey ring the easiest method.
2. Inside the upper shell you will see the plastic backed carbon traces used to detect the finger locations. In the centre of the upper shell is also a copper strip adhered to the shell. The plastic traces and the copper shim have a connection through a carbon dot on the shell where there are two holes next to a black carbon dot. I found that there were two issues with my MM that may have caused my issues. The first was that the plastic detectors were not fully adhered and flat on the inner shell. Then I found that the small carbon button which contacts the copper was not fully pressed down. I ran my finger over the entire internal surface of the shell to press down the adhesive bonded parts and then reassembled the mouse.
3. Instead of gluing the bottom grey ring back on the mouse, fit it in place with small sections of 3M invisible tape, over the grey ring and upper case, just in case things go awry again. If they're small enough, you won't see them when the mouse in operation and the case remains securely closed. Once you are sure you have no more problems then you can add a dab or two of superglue to permanently close the case at a later date or still have access to clean the scroll mechanism at a later time as well.
The other outcome might be that my disassembly and reassmbly reseated a poorly contacting cable(s) from the base the the upper shell. Either way, I have a fully functioning right click again in all situations. I have not had to remove the batteries in the mouse for over a week now whereas the power reset was becoming an hourly occurrence previously.

Apple Magic Mouse--right click not working, left-right scroll not working

Brand new out of the box, right click does not work and neither do the left-right swipe. Is it likely I have a faulty mouse, or is there a software update or setting I have failed to find? Running 10.6.4 on brand new MacBook Air. Experts--help please

I have the same issue. My magic mouse is only about a year old and i honestly don't use it that often... it seems to me the right click is not "connecting" well as i have to click several times or very hard to get it to make a clicking sound. not sure if its stiff or broken or not.
Overall I'm pretty frustrated as this thing was EXPENSIVE.
Any ideas how to fix it?

Magic Mouse Right Click Not Working? HELP

Right click function ceased...also dvd player crapped out...and I can't burn music cds...Related???
Thanks

Thanks...the machine is less than a year old and the mouse has been replaced under warranty once...It started working again after latest software update...
Don't get me wrong...this machine is the most wonderful piece of technology I have ever had the joy to use. Just working out some bugs that are probably much simpler than I'm making them out to be. Again...thanks for the reply...I'm off to see what a PRAM battery is.

Magic mouse right click not working

am i the only one? after downloading the latest os x updates, i'm unable to do any secondary click (right / left) with the magic mouse...tried everything via internet trouble shooting & even spoke with apple support...i have an appointment with their genius bar but there must be a way??? any advice apple fam? thanks.

No, you are not alone. I had exactly that situation with my magic mouse on my 27 inch iMac after the recent update of Yosemite.
I assumed it must be the mouse - just over a year old, so surprising.
But searching this forum I found the helpful posts suggesting deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from Preferences. (Use Finder to go to your hard drive, open Library/Preferences and look down the long list of files to find com.apple.Bluetooth.plist. Drag a copy to your desktop, just to be safe. Then delete it from the Preferences. Restart your Mac and the file will be recreated.)
It's surprising that Apple staff aren't aware of this.

Function Keys and Mouse Right Click Stopped Working On New iMac

I bought a new iMac a couple of days ago and everything was working fine until last night when I noticed that the volume up/down function keys and also the mouse right click no longer worked.
For the mouse I tried turning off the right click option and back on again and also tried another mouse which has the same problem. Both work ok on a MBP which I have.
I have tried doing the normal SMC and PRAM resets which doesn't solve the problem.
One program which I installed after I got the computer was Logmein which screwed up my audio settings. After uninstalling that my audio settings are ok but I was wondering if the program could also have changed some other settings.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the System/Keyboard preference pane to see if the Function key option is checked?

Mouse right button not working

Hai i am shebeer.. i updated my mac os x 10.4.7 to 10.4.11 after updation my right button not working . please help me to solve this problem...

So far we're just trying to narrow the problem down, so it looks like it's not likely an OS problem, not impossible but not too awful likely.
Do you have another Mouse to try?
Can you try this Mouse on another Computer?
In System Preferences>Mouse & Keyboard, you might try changing the Primary Button to the Right one to see if the Right Button works as a
Left button, +but the problem+ with that is that I really don't know what you'd do *if you have no Button at all* then!

Two finger tap right click not working

Is anyone having a problem with two-finger tap to right click? Two-finger tap to right click was working fine for a while, but it suddenly stopped on my Yoga 13.
I reinstalled the touchpad drivers, and it worked for a few days, then it stopped again. Two-finger click still works fine. So does one-finger tap to left click.
Strange....
Solved!

Mighty Mouse Wireless Right Click not working

Hi Friends!
I am having some difficulty getting my Right Click on my Wireless MM to work. I am aware that I need to keep my left finger off the mouse but it still does not seem to be working.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks !
J

Try replacing the battieries (or just taking them out and putting them back in). Forcing the connection between the Mighty Mouse and the iMac to break. Then put the new batteries, or the ones you were you using from before, in the MM.
Re-link the Mighty Mouse to the iMac and try applying the settings for the right click function in System Preferences.

Logic Pro X. Right-click not working in the piano-roll editor. And colour issues.

I usually use the right mouse-button to open the toolbox under the cursor but this doesn't appear to work within the piano-roll edit window in Pro X. Is this the same for everyone? The right-click works in all other windows. Seems pretty odd.
Also is it just me who finds the near-black background very oppressive? I worked in front of Pro X for several hours yesterday and was left wishing I could change the background colour of the main and edit windows. Is there any way to do this?
I also really need to be able to access custom colours for the colour palette as the new palette doen't sit at all well with me. Any ideas anyone? The manual states that if you double-click on a colour it should open the colour editor but it doesn't.....

It turns out that if you assign the right button to 'Open Tools and Shortcut Menu', it works in the piano roll. It's obviously a bug which should get ironed out.
The other thing that's driving me nuts though is that when I change tools in the main window, the pointer still appears like an arrow, even though its function has changed. When I pass it over a region, it usually changes to to the correct icon - but not always! Aarghhh I'm going back to Pro 9 for now......

HT202731 mouse left click not working

Mouse not working properly. Not sure if it is related to new operating system Yosemite that I downloaded but issue started after that.
Left mouse click either doesn't work at all, or starts working then grabs and won't release what I am clicking on. Rt mouse click works ok. Any others with this issue? I have tried magic mouse and regular mouse, same issue.

If you go to System Preferences > Mouse & Keyboard and select the Mouse tab you'll see an option of the right side for the primary button. make sure the left is selected.

Clickpad Right Click not Working Consistantly

I just purchased an HP laptop with a Clickpad and reviewed your documentation for what areas on the pad to use for clicking however I can't seem to get a consistent right click even when I click in the area indicated by the diagram. I can be almost in the bottom right corner of the pad's surface and still get a left click response.
Is there a trick to it I am missing or do I have a dud?

Hello Kyraoko,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the right-clicking action on the touchpad, of your notebook, is not working properly. It is likely a hardware issue, to be honest. However, please try the following steps before assuming anything:
1. Tap the upper-left corner of the touchpad a couple of times to turn it off, then turn it on. This is considered resetting the touchpad.
2. Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset is the next step. A hard reset clears driver instructions, recent configurations, etc. This forces the hardware to reread all instructions from the drivers and software stored within Windows.
3. Update the mouse/touchpad driver. These instructions will guide you along the right path:
a. Go to the HP Drivers and Downloads webpage. Enter your computer model number and then click Go .
b. Select your computer model from the list of results.
c. Select your operating system from the drop down menu and then click Next.
d. Scroll down to select the driver category "Driver - Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices".
e. Click the Download button next to the appropriate TouchPad or ClickPad driver. The file downloads to your Downloads folder.
f. Open your Downloads folder and double-click to install the latest driver. Follow on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Source: Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
4. If that doesn't work, we will have to try a more direct approach of reinstalling the mouse driver:
a) Go into Device Manager, then "Mice and other pointing devices".
b) Right-click on the touchpad driver, and select "Uninstall".
c) Restart the computer. This will force a new driver to be written based on the detected hardware.
5. Try connecting a USB mouse to the computer. Test it to see whether or not it is working properly.
If those steps do not help, then I would call HP phone support so they can physically address the hardware of the touchpad. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks for posting, and have a great day!

Magic Mouse Right Click Stopped Working

My magic mouse is acting up, the secondary right click has stopped working, if you select left click it will work but not right click.
i have changed the battereis, restarted my mac, turned the mouse on and off but no joy, the left click just wont work, any idea on how to solve it?

Have you checked your settings?
Settings > Mouse > Point & Click that Secondary click is checked?

Wireless Mighty Mouse right click not responding

I was happily using Final cut Pro but noticed that the right click on the mighty mouse wasn't working. I checked my settings of the mouse and confirmed that 'secondary button' was selected, but no right click was picked up in any application.
Rebooted Mac with no effect. Switched right button to 'Expose' but that wouldn't work either.
Solution: Took batteries out of mouse and reinserted. All now resolved.

Have you shut down (powered off) the Mac and restarted since this problem occurred? Have you turned OFF Bluetooth and turned it back ON? Have you checked the strength of the two batteries in the mouse?
The buttons not working does not sound like a typical cleaning or hardware issue (although the scroll ball not scrolling is probably a cleaning issue). It may be a software problem.
First, go to System Preferences +Keyboard & Mouse+ pane Mouse tab, and make some changes to the settings of the buttons that do not work. Change them any to a different setting. See if each change takes effect. If it does, change it back to the way it was before. This will rewrite the preference settings, and hopefully get those buttons working again.
I would also do the usual general trouble-shooting actions. Run Disk Utility and use the +Repair Disk Permissions+ routine. Then restart using the reset PRAM command.
