Right click to get to Show File in iphoto

I was at the Apple Store Sat and was shown that if I right click a photo a list will appear including the show file command. With this command I get to the actual photo.
I have just reinstalled ilife 09 and attempted to get the list when I right clicked. Nothing.
Is my mouse bad?
How should I find out how to get the list to appear when I right click?

It was a good thought, but when I looked at the keyboard and mouse and the other topics, I did not see anything that would have to do with right click. I did learn a lot about the mouse, scrolling and setting the five buttons, but nothing to do with right clicks. Speed of the cursor. scrolling and double click. Where should the right click enabled reside. Thanks and thank you for your patience. I have had a Mac for years but have never needed to use some of these features. Herb

Why my Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file.

My Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file. My OP is windows XP sp2.

Hi mha007,
Go to this site "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm"
Select any Index type and from dates select just one day or any number of days. Click "Get Details" button. This will open tabular data on loaded page (with link CSV file link at bottom).
When I click this link, it opens CSV file in new tab (in Firefox browser) and does not open download window (just as in case of other file formats like *.zip, *.rar or *.xls).
Right-click of link does not give "save as" or "save file" option.
Firefox is my preferred and default browser.

surprisingly, When I do same thing in IE6 browser, data-table page shows 2 options below table, i.e. (1) download file (2) open file.

I accidentally ran iPhoto Library Upgrader on my Picture folder and now I have to right click on it to "show contents" instead of looking at it in Finder. Help!

Help! I have 2 problems related to iPhoto:
1: I accidentally ran iPhoto Library Upgrader on my Picture folder and now I have to right click on it to "show contents" instead of double clicking on it and looking at it in Finder. I cannot figure out how to fix my Pictures Folder so that I can click on it and view it in Finder, when I double click on it Terminal opens up with this message "Pictures - Bash 80x24" and

It will not let me replace or delete the folder... I got to my files and backed them up, but trying to avoid reinstalling my OS.
2: When I try to Upgrade my Library.iPhoto file so I can open it in iPhoto it says I need to finish by opening in iPhoto, but then when I do, it tells me it first needs to be upgraded in the iPhoto Library Upgrader... Vicious circle. Please, help! Just trying to recover about 3 years worth of photos...

Hi! Thanks for responding!
I have iPhoto 9.5.1, I am on OS X Version 10.9.5 on a MacBook Pro with 2.66 GHz
My current "iPhoto Library" file is OK (I can open it with iPhoto), however I cannot access the old one from iPhoto 6 titled Library.iPhoto
I tried right clicking and choosing the application, it did not work.
"exactly how did you "I got to my files and backed them up"" - I showed the contents of my Pictures folder, and it opened up the folders in Finder and I copied them to an external hard drive. In my Picture folder I have several folders of Photos plus the iPhoto Library files (old & current)
I do have old back ups, but they are from April, and I recently imported 5 months of photos from my iPhone, so the iPhoto Library I copied after showing contents is the one I need.

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

Bridge CS6 - No Right Click to get File Info panel?

I've recently transitioned from CS4 to CS6 and am very pleased with the many changes that have been made. One Bridge CS4 feature that I utilized on a regular basis was that of accessing File Info by right-clicking on a file or selection of files and then entering file info metadata through the panel that opened, and sometimes automatically uploading that data from a pre-saved XML file.
Where do I access the File Info panel in Bridge CS6 so that I can adjust metadata properties for the respective file(s)?
Thanks,
Buck

Hi Yammer, thanks for the quick reply.
I've since tested it on different files and on some files it works, on others it does not.
It now see that it does work on AI, INDD, PSD, JPG, and PNG, but it doesn't work on GIF... I guess that's a GIF limitation rather than my not knowing how to edit the info in Bridge.
Thanks for looking into this.

Windows 7 64 bit: I just upgraded Firefox to 7.1 , I can't watch video on youtube, video freezes, then the browser freezes. I right click on the icon showing the page is open on the taskbar & click close then cancel, it starts then freezes again?

When I watch any video on youtube, every video first starts with short freezes then freezes the Firefox 7.1 Browser window. I have to right click on the icon that shows the browser is open on the taskbar at the bottom of windows and then click on close& cancel to get it to start working again. Also, on any site, I am having problems with links & functions that suddenly stop working, site connections being dropped frequently for no reason, my Modem is stable & internet shows connected. On facebook when I click a button(photos) it doesn't work, in Amazon I click on "submit" and the button stops functioning, in yahoo mail I can click on a button to "send" mail and it won't work. I can open them in IE9 or Chrome but not in Firefox. I have tried disabling all plugins.I also have tried disabling all but flash and still the problems persist. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF.

Command + R *should* take it to a recovery console. Command + Option + P + R resets the PRAM, but that doesn't sound like your fix.If all of your buttons are working fine on OSX side, I would ignore PRAM / NVRAM / SMC reset tricks, since these are tested as working fine.
I would say you should probably reinstall the drivers for bootcamp. I tried this with 5 in Windows 8 and it gives you an option to repair. The reason I say this is because the UI isn't showing up, which means that it's using another driver.
If this doesn't work, go into device manager and then roll back to your previous settings.
One more thing comes to mind. Do you ever use Parallels or VMWare to load your bootcamp partition? They have their own driver packages which can cause some unwanted behavior when using windows natively.
One last thing you can do is try to by-pass the GUI powerplan entirely. You can use the Powercfg command, which, as it happens, has instructions on how to forcefully set the brightness values. You probably won't be able to make it through these instructions since you will get an error at some point, but that will give us more diagnostic information.
Good luck!

My CD/DVD drive runs constantly. Also, when you right click, only get outline of box, not info within box

CD/DVD drive runs constantly when Firefox is open, sometimes when not open as well. Also, when you right click within Firefox, you just get outline of box, but no info inside box. I have to shutdown computer and restart.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

Right Click and Get Info Problems

After the 10.5.6 update, when I right click on a file the option to "Open With" no longer appears. When I select "Get Info", I no longer have the option to assign the default application.
As an example, I used to have all PDF files open with Preview. Something changed that to use Adobe Acrobat Reader. Now I cannot change the pdf file to to use Preview. Same thing for .jpg files. Seems to option to open with is now gone. Same with the Get Info window. The option to change the default application is not "Preview" and cannot change.
I cannot find why these things changed or how I resolve this problem.

Try this to start:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If the above does not work then it's likely you had a corrupted system prior to updating thus resulting in further system problems. In such a case reinstalling OS X is the best solution. You may be able to do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

How to add a new right-click menu entry in Nautilus file browser?

I want to add a couple of new context menu entries to Nautilus File Browser.
So when I e.g. right-click in View Pane on a file "foobar.conf" an menu entry "edit with gedit" should appear (among the other default entries).
When clicked the file "foobar.conf" should be passed to gedit (and gedit editor opened).
How can I achieve this?
Under Ubuntu there are nautilus-actions but when I try to install them in Solaris with
pkg install nautilus-actions
then this package is not found.
How else can I create my own context menues?
I would appreciate to have one script with all my context menus, which when run add them all in one step.

To manage selected files or directories, you can use specific Nautilus variables like NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS.
For more details and which variables exist, please read the content of the following URL :

Can't right click on my desktop. Files/Folders are also disappeared

The subject explains pretty much the situation.
The last days, I can't right click on my dekstop. Right click works on any other icon/app etc of course. At the same time, files/folders that I have in desktop, and I can see them through finder, are not displayed. However, if I login with the guest account, the problem is not reproduced.
Any ideas?
(I have a new macbook pro 13 retina display, running 10.9.1)

Sorry for the inconvenience.
It seems that there was a problem/miss configuration with an external program I installed (path finder).
Resolving this now

Can't open a tab on the verson 30 for (10.7.5) Mac. I right click and get View/Toolbar settings

When I click on the Plus sign, or Alt-T to open a new tab, nothing happens. When I right-click on the tag, I see the menu that's under View/Toobars (Bookmarks toolbar, Web developer toolbar, etc.) This never happened until I downloaded the latest version 30 -- twice.

We have recently seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.

Have tried to use app tabs, but on right click, only "pin tab" shows

Using vista, installed ff4 today.
When trying to use app tab only "pin tab" shows on right click. It works just like it did in 3.6.

That is the app tab feature. You pin the tab, and it will remain open, even after you close your browser and reopen it again.

Right click on flash movie / SWF file

Why we get flash default menu when i right click on a flash
movie?.
When i enable video bookmark (videomark). user is suppose to
right click on flash movie and select videomark.
is the flash default menu is customizable?. Please let me
know.

Here is a sample script to customize the right-click menu.
Put it in frame 1 of your movie.
var myContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myContextMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
var thisTitle:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("My
prison movie", bla);
var thisCredit:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("created
by Paris Hilton", bla, separatorBefore=true);
var thisCopyright:ContextMenuItem = new
ContextMenuItem("© My Intelligence Is Ltd.", bla);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisTitle);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCredit);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCopyright);
function bla() {
//insert your function here
this.menu = myContextMenu;
The function can be anything: getURL, load a movie clip, turn
sound on/off, etc. You can add as many ContextMenuItems as you
want. Each one can have a separate function assigned. It seems that
some sort of function is required by the class, so I use an empty
function like in this example if I want nothing to happen when the
user clicks the menu item.

Properties missing from the right click menu of web.xml file

I am using JDeveloper version Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.3.0 on Ubuntu 10.
I want to configure security for my webapplication.When I right click on web.xml , to navigate to properties, the properties is missing from the menu.
Is this removed or a bug in this version of JDeveloper?I am new to this forum and not sure how to upload the screen shot.Can some one help me uploading it?
Also is there a way to file an issue for bugs like these?
Thanks
Sreekanth

HI,
I saw it in a previous version of JDeveloper.I am new to this JDev world and I am in to a training where the instructor was asking me to do security config setting using the context menu on the web.xml file.
This is the installation file that the instructor has given : jdevstudio11110install.exe. I guess it is some other minor patch release of JDeveloper to what I am using. I am using Linux on my laptop, so I downloaded the version I am using and setup the environment on my own and found it missing .
If JDev engineering team could confirm that this is not an issue , let's mark this as answered. :-)
Thanks
