Right-click in Dock no longer works

I just recently performed a security update on my iMac, and now when I try to do any sort of right-click action in the Dock (closing apps, emptying Trash), the menu shows up, but the menu & the Dock are momentarily hung. I can click around other items on the Desktop or Finder, but the Dock stays non-responsive for maybe 15 seconds or so. Anyone else see this, and if so any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I don't think an SMC reset is called for, since this issue doesn't really have a hardware component to it (i.e. power button not working, battery issues, etc.). The mouse button itself is not the issue, since other right-click events work fine, and it's only when right-clicking on the Dock that it sort of hangs a bit.

  • Firefox 3.6.13 does not open new tabs anymore. Ctrl-T, file- new tab , right click new tab no longer works. Why is this?

    No new extensions or add-ons have been installed. And all the features options to open new tabs fail to open a new tab. Can someone tell me how to fix the problem? I'm tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of firefox or reinstall 3.6.13 to see if that fixes the problen.

    disabling/uninstalling firebug and restarting firefox does seem to fix the problem. thanks. The next problem is trying to report the problem to firebug. firefox blocks the https://blog.getfirebug.com/2012/10/09/firebug-1-10-4/#respond web site/page because of its certificate, but does not give you an option to accept the certificate anyway.

  • Right click on Magic Mouse not working

    Hi
    I am having this right click problem with my magic mouse.  The right click function just suddenly stopped working two days ago.
    I have checked the Mouse>Preference> Secondary click is enabled to "Right"
    However, when I changed the secondary click to "Left", the "right click" function works perfectly fine w/ the left click, but when I change it back to "Right" nothing happens.  I even tried unchecking the secondary click function (someone said that will work in another support site) but that doesn't help either.
    I have tried removing batteries from my mouse, turning it off, turning bluetooth off, restarting the laptop...
    Very confused right now.  Please help!!

    The post is a month old now, but I did stumble upon it after I suddenly lost my "Magic Mouse" right click functionality.  Just as posted my; Mouse>Preference> Secondary click was enabled to "Right", though it would not work...
    I tried everything including; restart iMac, enable and disable "Secondary Click", disconnecting the Mouse bluetooth and reconnecting it using my Magic Trackpad, etc.... until this ended up being my solution:
    I went into System Preferences, Mouse>Preference> and disabled "Secondary click".  Then restarted the system.  Then returned to System Preferences, Mouse>Preference> and re-enabled Secondary Click.  That worked and was my solution and has been working fine since yesterday.
    I hope this helps anyone who encounters the same as we have.

    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.<br />
    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 Clicking on dock not working from System Prefs

    When the System Preferences are the front most application the right mouse button acts as a left button... this is particularly annoying when trying to right right click on items in the dock when in system prefs.

    My right-click behaves normally when System Preferences is in the front. What does control-click do?

  • "Save link as" in Right-click Context menu is not working properly.

    Firefox 17: In a Google search, when I right click on a .pdf link, the popup window automatically gives a "url" filename and "Firefox Document" as filetype. Previously, the filename would be whatever it was on the website (ie. "filename.pdf") and the filetype would be "Adobe Acrobat Document".
    I know this problem has less to do with Firefox and more to do with JavaScript, because the problem disappears if you disable JavaScript (Tools -- Options -- Content -- uncheck "Enable JavaScript"). What's happening is that JavaScript is somehow altering the link from a purely .pdf link to something else -- perhaps encasing the link inside a set of commands, and the computer is trying to save the command string instead of recognizing the link for what it is. When JavaScript is disabled in Google searches, the highlighted "[PDF]" link no longer appears in front of the link itself, and the "Save link as" function on the right-click works properly.
    Any JavaScript junkies want to try their hand at creating a workaround? One that ensures that the reference created by the right-click context menu matches exactly what the filename is for the website?

  • Right Click on dock icon freeze the dock

    Using Macbook Pro, 10.6.4. A lot of the time when I was trying to right click on a dock icon, the dock freeze, expose and spaces all not working, I have to call up activity monitor to force quit the dock and everything went fine again.
    It's very annoying especially when you're in rush for something important.
    Anyone has this experience before or know how to fix it?
    Thanks for any kind help.

    I've been having some issues with Dock/Exposé/Spaces (they're all related, as far as I know). Not the same though.
    Go into ~/Library/Preferences. You'll see a lot of files called com.apple.something.plist. Remove all the files in which something has to do with Dock, Expose, Finder, or Spaces. Reboot. See if that fixes anything. You could also try the 10.6.4 combo update.

  • Belkin lightning dock no longer works with iOS8.1 update

    I have the Belkin aluminium dock and since the update to 8.1 it no longer works with my iPhone 5S or 6 plus. I've tried reboots and resets, can't get it to work.
    I just get the 'this accessory may not be supported' message.
    Anyone have a fix for this?

    quit iPhoto, Delete the iPhoto preference file ("your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> comn.apple.iPhoto.plist) and launch iPhoto and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it

  • Right click on published SWF not working

    Hi, I'm using the latest versin of Captivate 7 and trying to publish a SWF project to work on our webpae.
    In the software simulation we have a need for right click to activate a function, but this is only bringing up the flash menu when we play it.
    I have Enable Accessability turned off and the file's a trusted location on my computer.
    Can anyone help me work out how to make this work?
    Thanks
    Anna

    Are you executing the HTM file or just the SWF?
    Right click functionality requires a fair chunk of JavaScript code in order to work.  Captivate supplies this JS code in the HTM and JS files that it publishes along with the SWF file.  If you are only executing the SWF file then you won't get the JS code.  You need to execute the HTM file which will then pull in the SWF and all the additional required code.
    You must also make sure you have at least one click box in your project set to use right click.  This will tell Captivate that you need the extra JS code to be added to the output.

  • Right click Open With sometimes not working (Photoshop Elements 9, Windows Vista)

    We recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 7 to Photoshop Elements 9. We are running Windows Vista.
    Last night, my wife was right clicking on JPEG images in her My Pictures subfolders and choosing "Open With" to open the files with Photoshop Elements. In some cases, this worked. In other cases she would right click the file, Adobe Photoshop Elements would start, but the picture itself would not display.
    I tested one of these pictures and was able to open it with other applications, and was able to open it by choosing "Open" from Photoshop Elements' file menu.
    Has anyone run into this before? Why are some pictures not opening when you right-click and use "Open With"?

    Hi,
    you can make PSE9 default program for opening any image on you vista machine.
    Then it souhld work fine.
    cheers,

  • The right click search option isn't working on Firefox 7

    When I right click on a word and click "search google for..." I get "404 - that's an error" Is this a bug that will be fixed or something that I can tweak to fix now?

    Depends how the site is doing it. Preventing right-clicks can be done with javascript so turning javascript off (Tools > Options > Content) may stop it. But it may prevent the whole site working too.
    There's no general answer - it depends on the individual site.
    Have you tried googling? Others may have found a workround.

  • Right-click/select on trackpad not working

    Hi
    Basically the "right click" option on my trackpad has stopped working, I can't highlight sections of text or images, can't click and drag any items and can't resize windows or images. I'm going crazy does anyone know what's wrong? I called Apple and they didn't really help with anything, I've reset my preferences to default but no luck!
    I can scroll with two/three/four fingers fine it's just when I want to click with two that nothing happens.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    01/04/14 Update:  I've updated all SW (BIOS, UltraNav Driver and Utility, latest Win7 updates) but right button still won't work.  Ran the PC Doctor diags for the UltraNav and it shows the right button highlighted constantly (as opposed to it blinking on/off when button is processed like the the left button does).
