  • My right click is not working. the context menu does not come up and i can no longer drag files/folders. I have checked the mouse and track pad in system preferences and the correct boxes are all checked (with a support member). Please can you help

    My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
    Please can you help with this.
    It has only just happened in the last few days.
    Many thanks

    You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
    For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
    (Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).

  • Right click doesn't work in Address Book

    Not sure what's caused it, but I noticed recently that right-clicking from the trackpad on my MacBook Pro in Address Book doesn't.  If I do want to see right-click options, I have to hold down the control key.  The trackpad right-click works fine in all other applications.  Any thoughts?

    Try regular "left" clicking on the labels to the left of the entries.  Does this work?
    Now try right-clicking on the actual entry data (email address, phone number, street address) and see what happens.
    Seems a bit inconsistent, but I noticed it right after upgrading to Snow Leopard.

  • Right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons. On other elements, there's no"Inspect Element" option

    After installing FF 6.0, right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons, i.e. nothing happens on right-clicking.
    The context-menu is available on other elements, but there's no"Inspect Element" option in the context-menu

    Regarding the two-button click: just go to the "Sytem Preferences --> Mouse" pop-op and under "One Finger", check the "Secondary Click" box.  Problem solved.  I don't know how I missed this the first 3 times I went to there.    Oh well.
    And as for why I had to change the Trackpad settings to get the Magic Mouse zoom feature to work (see original question): I'm still stumped.   Your guess is as good as mine.
    Hope this helps!

  • Right click is not working in Web dynpro explorer

    Hi All,
    I have SAP net weaver developer studio 2.0.9.
    when i right click on web dynpro components, to create a component, the context  menu is not coming, right click is not working.
    though right click works fine in diagram view and outline view.
    Please suggest what might have happened? and how to get back the settings.
    Cheers,
    Srini.

    Hello Srinivas,
    Try closing and opening NWDS. If you still see the same problem, simple solution for this is, Just Change Workspace to new folder.
    Changing workspace - Window -> Workbench -> workspace -> give new path.
    Close nwds and open it again. It should solve the problem.
    Thanks,

  • Touchgraph link browser right click won't work; jre 1.4.2_03 linux

    touchgraph link browser right click won't work; jre 1.4.2
    Wanted to mention that the touchgraph link browser(java client) client starts correctly in Redhat 9, but i found one problem when trying to edit links. The problem being that I can't open the small popup menu when i right click in linux RedHat 9. left clicking while dragging on a selected link (in edit mode) lets you create a new link both in microsoft windows 95a and in Redhat 9. When i right click in win95a, a small menu appears that allows me to edit a link, but this menu doesn't appear after right clicking a link in edit mode in redhat 9 (which does work with TG link browser in win95).
    I tried using a 2 button mouse with 3 button emulation. I also tried to use a 3 button logitech trackball which works with the old logitech c7 setting in Redhat. I also tried to operate the mouse with it's three buttons using the number keypad in linux, which works in other applications under linux. The same problem still happens in trying all of these methods.
    I was told that unix and windows use different "select," "extend," and "menu" buttons(in relation to the mouse).
    Maybe, microsoft windows is using a different method of interpreting the right mouse button than redhat linux 9. if so, maybe there is a way to do this in linux (really, i have no idea how this could be done, but am open to try).
    If there is a solution, i would appreciate knowing how to go about doing it. .
    note: I am using Sun's java 1.4.2_04 in windows 95a and I am using Sun's java 1.4.2_03 in Redhat 9. Both are the most current, i just downloaded them recently.
    note: touchgraph link browser is an open source java client and applet under the GNU general Public License. I think that the source code was included with the binary. I am using touchgraph link browser v 1.20 . I downloaded from sourceforge.net
    in google i found the following:
    https://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/advanced-java/1999-September/000532.html
    note: mara, you helped me before when i was practically installing redhat 9 and i had a problem with the installation and you mentioned that it was a faulty cd-rom drive. with your help, i am enjoying in learning about linux for the past 5 months since your answer helped me install redhat 9 successfully. Thank you very much since my very first question to you.
    Answer Hello,
    I downloaded the program and, if I think of the right situation, the right-click doesn't bring a menu for me. The thing I noticed is that when I drag a new link and (with left mouse button pressed) press right button it has an effect of 'canceling' the link. That's why I think that right mouse button works correctly. The problem is why the menu does not appear.
    I can see two reasons, both causing problems not easy to solve: bug in the program or incompatibility between Windows and Linux java versions. The second one should not happen.. but it doesn't mean it's impossible. A bug in the program should be easier to find, but not by me (with not very big Java experience it'd take me several days).
    What I'd do in your place is to mail the program developers (or report a bug). It won't make things worse, but can fix things.
    Sorry that I can't help more

  • Right click problem: I did not know about the Yahoo sidebar issue, I have removed all toolbars from my browser from 'view' menu. There is nothing in my 'extensions' to disable. Right click is not working. What to do?

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • In "Show more Bookmarks" if I right click does not work (I want to open in a new tab)

    This is using Mac Firefox current version. I use lots of tabs and don't have space for all of them so there is a >> at the right end for clicking and displaying the rest of them. If I click and display list and highlight one of them, the right click does not work - I want to open in a new tab not use the existing - there are no menu options displayed on these tabs. The tabs across the top work fine for this

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    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")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • 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.

    ODI 11g 11.1.1.7 with Win64 bit OS : Strange problem : Right click does not work for Create new data server in Topology.
    On right click nothing happens at all. I have  reinstall the ODI multiple times with right installer. issue persist.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Did you use the generic installer or the win32 one ? You should use the former with Win64.
    You can also check that your version of Java is supported in the certification matrix.

  • Right-click funcionality not working in assessment mode. I NEED HELP!

    Hi - I've recently created a number of assessment recordings. The right-click function works as I'm recording as well as when preview the project and then after I publish it. However, when I give it to a colleague(s) to demo it, for some reason the assessment isn't recognizing her right-click and she gets stuck. We're both running the same IE, flash and windows versions so I am really a at a loss on this one. Has anyone ever encountered the same problem and if so what did you do to fix it?! Thanks a million!

    Now when you run the movie in your browser, Right-Click is not  working...
    off course it will not work, as Right-Click uses Flash External  Interface, and this new path
    is not a trusted path by your flash player
    Solution : You need to add this new path to your Flash Player  security
    Scenario 2: You just shared your right-click movie folder over  the network ,
    say the new path for other users is   "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
    ( or "\\nework-machine-02\work\captivate-movies\My-Rihgt-Click" )
    and other users are complaining that , Right-Click is not  working...
    Yes once again the reason is same  and new path   "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
    ( or "\\nework-machine-02\work\captivate-movies\My-Rihgt-Click" )   in not a trusted path by
    other user's flash player
    Solution : other user need to add this path  "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
    into his Flash player security setting.
    How to add a path to flash player security setting?

  • My iMac mouse right click does not work now

    Hi all,
    My iMac mouse right click does not work now.  It was fine a couple of days ago. 
    Right click is definitely enabled, I have checked it several times.
    A Google search revealed that in Firefox it could be that I'm not using the latest version of Firebug.  I have auto updates on and Firebug is the latest version 1.11.3
    I use right click for correcting spell checked words, instead of a suggested correct spelling I get the 'open in a new tab' menu.
    In Firefox when I right click to open in a new tab I get the menu but it does nothing.
    It is driving me mad
    Any help will be greatly appreciated,
    Thank you
    P.S. thought it was suddenly working when I did the spell check in this post but it was the left click doign it....

    I don't use Firefox so I can't test it, but it might be something to do with a preference setting. Have a look at this link (ignore all the instructions), just look at the image of the preferences, there appears to be a setting in Javascript preferences relating to contextual menus. Check to see what your settings are:
