Now that I've upgraded to Lion, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse it acts as if I've right clicked.  How do I get back to the way it was?!

I am working on two macbooks and an imac.  I upgraded all the software last weekend and am now running all three computers on Lion.  Over the last week, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse (whether it be the "pad" mouse on the macbooks or the standard mouse on my imac) it acts as thought I've right-clicked.  How do I stop this insanity?!  I want my old no-right-click mouses back!
Thank you for any guidance!
Jennifer

Try this,
     Go to to the Trackpad System Preference and look at the Point and Click tab.  
     Uncheck the box that says "Tap to Click"
I found my track pad to be way too sensitive and I was finding myself in web pages I did not choose to go to.  Unchecking that box will make it so you have to press the track pad to make it click something as opposed to just tapping it.  It is more effort but also less sensitive to random taps.

  • TS1424 I have used itunes forever, now when I try to go to the itunes store, it says an error has occured error code 3212, how do I get back into the itunes store

    I have used itunes forever, Sunday night when I tried to get into the itunes store an error popped up and said could not open; error code (-3212), How do I get back into the itunes store?

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Videos in iPhoto 08 will not play now that I have upgraded to Lion.

    Any videos that I had in iPhoto 08 previously played ok when I was on Snow Leopard but now that I have upgraded to Lion I have just discovered that when I click on a video nothing happens at all. I don't want to upgrade to iLife 11. Does anyone know of a resolution for this problem?

    When I check for updates I just get a message about iPhoto 11 being available as part of iLife 11.

  • Time machine: now that I've upgraded to Lion, do I keep the backups or trash them?

    Hi,
    I wanted to get a sense on what to do with Time Machine now that I've upgrated to Lion.  I just opened Time Machine and while the bar on the right seems to know there is data older from the date the back ups started with Lion, it doesn't seem to be able to open them.  Is there a reason to keep the old back ups?  Are you all deleing them or keeping the Time Machine backups from Snow Leopard and Leopard? 
    Thanks,

    you would want to keep them because if something happens where you need to install snow leopard back onto your computer all your files backed up in lion will not be savageable so i would keep it unless you desperately need the space, although hard drives are dirt cheap nowadays, you can find a tb for around 60-80 bucks.

  • I upgraded pages.  Now when I begin a new document I automatically have a text box.  How do I get rid of the text box so that it does not automatically appear.  What settings do I need to change?

    I upgraded pages.  Now when I begin a new document I automatically have a text box.  How do I get rid of the text box so that it does not automatically appear.  What settings do I need to change?

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
    You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

  • I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of any doc prepared with it,  but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work while I am away from home.

    I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 on my iMac and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of photo-rich documents prepared with Facing Pages (most of mine),  but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work on sections away from home. At least on my old PC, Word maintained compatability with old versions. Beginning to regret having switched.

    Thanks for your help. What is really irritating is that Apple give a big hurray about what they have added as "new"  in Pages 5 (most of it pretty useless) without telling you of the myriad things they have deleted.  If they had shown the list your gave the link to, I doubt may regular users would risked going to Mavericks with its auto upgrade. My partner got the message in time and is sticking with the earlier operating systems and Pages on Mac and iPad. Lucky girl.
    I have found a way to use my iPad to add chapters written while on the move to reports on my iMac Pages 4.3. If I write it on the new Pages on the iMac (don't seem to be able to revert there), the send the report as an email in WORD format (not Pages) and download it in the Text Editor, then cut and paste into the story on the iMac. Hardly elegant but it works.

    "When you changed your iPhone".  Do you mean you purchased a new phone? If that is the case, did you restore the new phone from a backup of the old phone? Is it possible that the app you are using does not save data in the iPhone backup? Have you contacted the app developer to ask them about it?

  • HT4463 How do I get back to the same page I was on?

    When I have finished reviewing an app, if I click the back arrow in the top left corner it takes me back to the first page of the category. Not very user friendly when there are dozens of pages to click through to get back to where you were. How do I get back to the same page I was on?

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

    These timezone definition changes are fairly common, when viewed world-wide.
    For notifying Apple, contact the folks at the Apple Support Center or (if you have access) log a bug report.  (The folks at Apple might or might not notice any postings made here.)
    For the immediate case, updating the timezones yourself is straightforward; the sequence is basically the same on Linux, OS X, Unix and even OpenVMS.  Ugly, but it works.  (The US folks got to see this mess first-hand a few years ago, but there are other locations that see these sorts of timezone definition changes far more often.)
    For those following along that aren't familiar with this sequence, this old posting should get you close when rebuilding your definitions, though the timezone database has moved to IANA.

    When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

    I am replying to myself. I called for Tech support and found out that when I tapped on the link I went to a web page  in Safari and to double tap on the home button at the bottom of the iPad and then tap on "Mail" to get me back where I was.
    I hope this helps anyone else with the same question.

    Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

  • Plz tell me how I can get back from the recovery mode to my normal mode without lossing data ... actually I was trying to update ios 7 in my 4s so then mobile stuck into recovery mode...plz help?

    plz tell me how I can get back from the recovery mode to my normal mode without lossining data...I stuck in this mode while I was try to update ios 7 in my 4s

    If it's in recovery mode, anything on the phone is already gone.  Restore the phone using iTunes, then restore it from your last backup. If you've been backing up on a regular basis as intended, you won't lose anything except what's changed since the last backup.
