Right click delete

Please forgive what must be a basic  question.
If i open a finder window tap with two fingers on the touch pad whilst a file is highlighted I get the option to move to trash.
If I insert my usb stick highlight a file  and two finger tap again I do not see the option to delete I see the open with option or compress etc.
What am I missing?
as an aside how do I drag to the trash bin using the touch pad
thanks
Ian

To right click delete something you must first select it or right click directly on top of it. And as for how to drag something to the trash using the trackpad just click and hold as you drag, I hope that helped!

  • I have several separators that appeared in my bookmarks list without me adding them. How do I delete them? I already tried right click/cut, right click/delete in the bookmark menu-that doesn't work.

    I have several separators that appeared in my bookmarks list without me adding them. How do I delete them? I already tried right click/cut, right click/delete in the bookmark menu and directly on the list-that doesn't work.

    If you can't delete them in the normal way in the Bookmarks Manager then you may have a problem with the file places.sqlite.

  • ITunes 10.4.1.10 how to stop downloads of free news pods?  (right click delete doesn't work) also can't scroll down list of downloads!

    (ITunes 10.4.1.10) How to stop downloads of free news pods?  (right click delete doesn't work)
    Also can't scroll down list of downloads so as to pause them.  Would like to delete them as ISP has download limit.
    Thanks in advance!  (this seems to be a dumb problem of the software having a life of its own!)

    I have been talking to Apple support about this very problem. So far they have asked me to disable both Firewall and Anti Virus software (Windows Firewall and ESAT NOD32 anti virus) - this didn't work. Rebuild my library - this didn't work. Un-install all Apple applications and re-install - this didn't work. I have created a second user account on my PC and from that account (both accounts set as Administrator) I can activate Genius. This suggests to me that the problem is possibly linked to my original User Account, which is the one I always use. I am waiting for the next update from Apple and will post an update if/when the problem is resolved.
    What I also notice is about 2 seconds in to Step 2 of the Genius activation, the progress diagonal lines bar stops, and then starts again. As soon as I see this short freeze I know that the activation will fail.

  • Setting up mouse to right click delete a page?

    After reinstalling Acrobat 9, I no  longer have the option to delete an individual page when I right click on the mouse. Is there a way to set this up again?
    Thanks!
    Catherine

    As George alluded to - you'd do this from within the Pages pane.
    If the option is not available then the PDF most likely has security applied that precludes this type of change to the file.
    Be well...

  • Recently, the delete key and rt click delete do not remove a message. Have to restart T'Bird to be able to delete a message. Using v 24.5.0

    Using Thunderbird 24.5.0, W7, up-to-date in fixes

    Restarting Thunderbird and then they both work.
    What should I be looking for?

    I tried that - but same result.

  • CS4 becomes non-responsive when I right click

    When I go to open a document in CS4 and then try to right click, delete or move files while I'm in the open screen, Photoshop becomes non-responsive and I have to shut it down and restart it, thereby losing any unsaved work. It's been doing it for awhile and I've tried to find a solution, but haven't had any luck. I've deleted my cache and that didn't fix the problem.
    Can anyone help, please?

    Check the mouse/driver.  The functions you mention are controlled by the OS even though you are in PS.

  • Cannot delete music from iPod nano (latest generation).  Have already selected "Manually Manage music and videos" but delete is unavailable from right click or Edit.

    I have done everything I've seen recommended for deleting music (jncluding "manually manage").  Thanks for the assistance!!!

    Did you Apply the change after selecting (checking the box for) Manually manage music and videos?
    With the latest iTunes, if the sidebar is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    In the sidebar, select the iPod under DEVICES.  Click the toggle (to the left of iPod) to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown.  You can select songs there, right click on them, and select Delete from the contextual menu.  You can also select songs there, go up to the menu bar, and select Delete under Edit.  You can also select songs there, and just press the Delete key on the keyboard.
    If you want to use automatic syncing, which is far more convenient than the manual method, and easily manage content on the iPod (add and remove songs), please post back.

  • How do I delete a song from my Itunes library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and click delete from the drop down menu but, then it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in Iclouds? I dont even know what Iclouds is?!?! HELP!

    How do I delete a song from my Itunes music library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and then select "delete" as specified and my info claims at that point it will ask if I want to send this song to my trash bin, but, instead, when I try to delete the song, I get another window asking "are you sure you want to hide this song in iCloud? I don't even know what iCloud is?!?!? I don't want iCloud and just want to get rid of old songs!!! HELP ME!!!

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

  • Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

    Hi,  I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

    Hello Lor100,
    In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

  • Every time I right click on an image and select Download image Firefox crashes . I have reinstalled; uninstalled and deleted folders and then reinstalled; added

    Every time I right click on an image and select Download image Firefox crashes . I have reinstalled; uninstalled and deleted folders and then reinstalled; added no plugins; checked I can DL the same images in IE-works good.I use Win7 pro and it works in other profiles in Windows 7. I created a new profile in Windows and that worked for about 2 months and now that has gone the same way as my admin profile has done. I deleted the sqlite download file-still same prob..Please help. I use Firefox 13.0.1

    That sounds very frustrating.
    By the way, does it say "Download image" or "Save Image As"? Just checking whether you have an add-on downloader in the mix that might be relevant. If you do have an add-on, try using the built-in command.
    Do you also crash if you save from here:
    right-click page > View Page Info > Media tab > (select image) > Save As
    I assume you have seen this article and tried these things: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
    Have you tried the new Reset feature in Firefox 13? This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
    More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
    If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back if you like using Firefox's Profile Manager.
    Does it make any difference?

  • I right clicked my iPod on iTunes and clicked restore from back up because i thought it would undo my IOS6 update. IT DELETED ALL MY PICTURES (2,000) AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM BACK!!!! Please help me!!!!!

    Well, if you have not backed them up, they are gone.
    Next time, when you have important material in only one place, back it up.

  • I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'

    '''I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'''

    If you select that right-click context menu entry then you block all images from that domain and not one specific image, so do not use that.
    * Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions (e.g. sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Why does the Right-click - "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click - "t" opens a new tab elsewhere. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click - "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to...

    Why does the Right-click -> "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click -> "t" opens a new tab elsewhere in Firefox. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click -> "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to... I keep deleting all my bookmark because you don't make the commands consistent!

    If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />
    The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
    That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

  • I have a MBP 15" with iPhoto 9. When right clicking on icon in dock 3 iPhoto libraries come up; one empty, one with 35,000 photos and one with 30,000 photos.  How can I delete the empty one and merge the other two without getting duplicates?

    You can delete the empty one by dragging it to the trash ( test everything before emptying the trash)
    Merging libraries requires iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only current solution to merging libraries
