Right-click finder context menu no longer works

When I bring up the context menu on any file/folder in my finder or desktop, none of the actions work - such as "Move to Trash", "Get Info", "Duplicate". In debugging I removed MagicPrefs, thinking it might issues with the mouse.
It works if I used shortcut keys, or drag files to the trash.
I'm not sure what changed recently - any help would be greatly appreciated.
-John

I'm able to bring up the menu (by right-click or control-click), all the options are enabled (nothing grayed out) ... when I choose any of them, nothing happens. No UI error, nothing in any of the logs I looked at.
I switched to a wire-mouse and got the same result. I used the track pad and got the same result.
Another observation - the labels do work, I can label a file some color and then remove it.

How to create a plugin to open a pop up on right click (using context menu) of any link on any site and display the link url in the pop up

We are developing a Plugin with the specific purpose to display the URL to which any link redirect to on any website.
This URL should appear in the pop up when the user right clicks and selects the "show URL" option in the context menu.
Can some one please help us either to find such plugin (except firebug) or guide us how to develop such a plugin.

Between the hassle of replacing a hard drive, mouse problems, firefox, opera, office mac and elgato tv problems and issues im fed up.

Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse should give you controls over the mouse. If not, either Steer Mouse or USB Overdrive might give you better control.

Right-Click on an entry no longer works

All of a sudden when I right-click on an entry the drop down box to copy, paste, etc has vanished. Help! I used the calendar all the time and and this helps in the process. Thanks for all the help.

GoatMan1967,
Are there any items in those folders?
Can you gain access to contextual menus in other
applications? If not I suspect a corrupted contextual
menu item.
If other applications are unaffected, it may be
beneficial to find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in
your Macintosh
HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder,
drag it to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and
let us know what happens.
;~)
Okay moved the com.apple.ical.plist to desktip and restarted with no change.
Macintosh HD/System/Library/Contextual Menu Items

No folder named this.
Still having problems only in Ical nothing else.

Web report - Right click for context menu

I believe SAP switched the way (left mouse button to right one) to get web report context menu as of BW 3.5. I am looking for the official documentation for it. I could not find it in online help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b2/e50138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Does anyone knows where I can find it?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit. Every time I can reproduce this bug, I'm able to revert it by killing the Adoble Flash process:
Example:
$ ps ax | grep libflashplayer.so
2072 ? Rl 0:05 /opt/firefox/plugin-container /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so -omnijar /opt/firefox/omni.jar 32533 true plugin
2229 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep libflashplayer.so
$ kill 2072
Plugin version: Shockwave Flash 10.2 r159
Hope this helps to find the cause.

Why no Right-Click or Context Menu over Artboards?

A context menu in the Artboard Panel would be much faster and more natural, right?
Is there a reason this is missing?

Not in CS6. But yes, completely agree, probably even more essential there, as I'm guessing most people give layers more of a workout than they do Artboards.

The problem is that Google has an onmousedown attribute added to the links that modify a link if you click or right-click a result link to make the link point to a safe browsing check on the Google server. 
You can see that if you hover a link and you will notice that after you have (right) click a link the the URL changes to www.google.com/url?xxxxx.
You can use this bookmarklet to remove the onmousedown attributes.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('*[id="search"] a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

Right-click (custom context) fails in Flash Player 10.1

With the release of Flash player 10.1 the right-click (custom context menu) functionality in the software simulations my company builds no longer functions properly. All files are published at Flash 8 in AS 2.0. After completing a right-click step the browser crashes (IE 8, Chrome, FF, and Safari). Anyone having similar problems?
We had issues with our right-click files when flash player 9 was released and implemented a solution (attached the custom menu to a movieclip vs. a button instance) from Adobe to correct the error...now that isn't working any longer.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

ALV: Right Button Click and Context Menu

Hi Experts,
I have to implement an ALV which should act on a right button click and show a context menu.
Is this possible? I found only events for "on_double_click" or "on_link_click" and is it possible to show a context menu?
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards,
Markus

My context menu no longer has the options to delete, remove etc.

My context menu no longer has some of the options it used to have. I have disabled a number of add-ons to solve the problem, but it didn't work. I don't find options like opening the link in a different window or tab useful. Could you please tell me how I can change my context menu that has options of deleting, renaming, removing, editing a tab or a folder in my email account (Yahoo)?
Thank you.
Shafiq Islam

Web pages can replace the context menu to their own version and suppress the regular context menu.
You can set the dom.event.contextmenu.enabled pref to false on the about:config page to prevent web pages from modifying the right-click context menu.

Why does File send link not work? Even right clicking on my mouse doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?

Why can I no longer send links to websites? Clicking File>Send Link doesn't work nor does right clicking on the mouse. Both worked prior to Firefox 6. I also can't send emails to websites that don't spell out their address but instead say "to send an email click here". Everything works fine in Chrome and Safari but not in Firefox.

OK well after first reverting to an older version of firefox to get my right click menu options back I have since discovered one way that works but at a cost.
By using the addon menu-editor it is possible to move the EMAIL LINK button from the file menu to the (Main Context Menu) ie the "right click menu" BUT you will loose the file menu button as there is no way to clone the button and only move a copy. Bunch of clowns that decided to do this I really don't know what they were thinking. Very VERY stupid move.
Here is a link to the only option that works https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
Can you fellows/chaps  at least provide a clone and move option in the menu-editor?

Finder Context Menu - Remove Blue Harvest?

I had a trial version of Blue Harvest to clean ds_store files that removed but its "Clean Using Blue Harvest..." finder context menu item still displays. How do i delete this? TIA, EB
Message was edited by: EarthBased

Nothing in that folder. And nothing in the left finder frame regarding Blue Harvest...To clarify, I am talking about when in Finder and select a folder and then right click for the pop up menu with 'Open, Move to Trash, Get Info,...,Clean Using Blue Harvest..."

for the folder the context menu does not work.
Thank you if anyone has an idea of how can I restore the normal function.

Unable to use right click on Context in a view..........

Hi,
I'm unable to use right click for creating nodes and attridbutes in a 'Context' of a view. Where as I can right click on 'RootUIElementContainer' and create elements. Can anybody have the idea to resolve this.
Thanks.
Nag.

Thanks for the reply. I'm unable to get right click on context in change mode. I have been working without any problems for a quite few applications. But now I find that right click doesnot work on context.
