Right click, scroll and highlighting not working?

So basically my trackpad has been messing up for about a month on and off, it seems to choose when it wants to work.
I am unable to scroll down a page by holding the trackpad down and scrolling at the same time , i cant move windows by using the trackpad and the
right click is not working at all!
Is there something that i can do to try and fix this
As far as i know i have not damaged the pad in anyway! im wondering if this is a software problem or not?
Thanks

    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 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.

  • 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).

  • In boot camp windows 8 my track pad in nt working right click n scrol is not working

    hy what should i do, in my mac book pro i am workin on boot camp. i have windows 8 on it and my trackpad in nt working properly no right click and no scroll what should i do?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It looks like you have not installed the Windows support software. It is needed in Windows to get your trackpad working correctly, among other things.
    As you are using Windows 8, download these drivers and follow the steps of the website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638 If you have not got a USB drive, you can download it in Windows, decompress the file and run the installer

  • "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 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,
    Sam

  • UPK - Click Scroll bar action not working in Player only

    In the Developer all action areas are working as they should but when I published to the web one action is not working - the Click Scroll bar action in the TryIt mode. When you reach this step and click the scroll bar nothing happens so you are forced to either go forward or back. Any ideas why this is happening? Thank you.

    Hello,
    This does not sound familiar to me, but it sounds like it should be easy to troubleshoot. I would suggest entering a ticket in My Oracle Support (support.oracle.com). Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

  • 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.

  • Click boxes and buttons not working in Captivate 3 published projects

    I really, really, hope that someone can help me...
    we are migrating from Centra/Saba LMS to Connect Pro LMS and while taking our "old" SCORM projects and posting them to the Connect Pro server we have encountered an issue...and the reason it's very hard to trouble shoot is that it's not all of the projects....??
    Once a project is pulished none of the buttons or click boxes are working - for instance we use a play button on the frist slide for students to enter the course - you click it nothing happens (except when you mouse over the button it does change color)...same with the click boxes - I can use the progress bar to move froward but anything I click just doesn't respond...
    Has anyone encountered this? and I hope know something we can do?
    THANKS SO MUCH,
    Jen

    Do your published projects work outside of your LMS?
    Or is it just inside the new LMS that it isn't working?
    Usually buttons and click boxes not working is because your slides are pausing before the button becomes active.
    What version of Captivate and Flash are you using?

    Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

  • I need to re-download Lion and install it. Holding the Option key while clicking on "purchases" does not work.

    I need to re-download Lion and install it, after re-formatting my hard-drive to "journaled" as requested. Holding the Option key while clicking on "purchases" does not work.

    Thanks Smokemonster. I found that the Lion install app was in in my applications folder already. Worked fine.
