Right clicking or tapping doesn't work, MBP

I recently installed windows 7 enterprise on my macbook pro and every works perfectly except the trackpad. I can use it to move and select items but tapping instead of clicking doesnt work nor does right clicking, I enabled it, over and over again but it still doesnt work.

Do you see this panel? (This is from W8.1, but a similar control should exist under W7).
If you do not, please see Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers for repairing the drivers.

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>

I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

InDesign CS4 can open .indd, .indt and .inx files from earlier versions, but not from later. It should, however, be able to open .idml files saved or exported from newer versions, with the understanding that unsupported features will be lost, text will probably reflow due to differences in texts engines between versions, and that the greater the gap between versions the more likely there are to be noticeable differences from the original. You will need to be sure CS4 is at version 7.0.6 to read the .idml.

Multi-Touch Right click feature on 1st Gen. MBP

I have a 1,1 MBP, and the new ones are pretty cool, but not awesome enough to convince me to buy a new one. However, the right click feature on the multi-touch pads are amazing. I'm wondering if any one has figured out how to get it to work on an older Pro.
The only reason why I think that it's possible is that the track-pad of the older mbp does recognize when there are two fingers present and allows you to scroll up down left right etc. Why would it not be coupled with a click to allow for a right click function?
Anyway, thanks for your time.

It's true that the first 15" MBPs did not support two-finger taps (although my 1st gen 17" did). I thought that had been fixed in a software update. So, when you look in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Trackpad tab, there's no option for "Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click"? (Clicking has to be enabled for that, else the option is place 2 fingers on pad and click button). There should be!
There was a hack released just after the 17" came out to get that functionality onto the 15" MBPs at the time, you can check it out here:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=17685&pid=118022&st=20&
(scroll down to this file - SecondaryTrackpadClick.zip - for an installer)
Hope this helps...

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.

I got Mavericks and now clicking my mouse doesn't work in many apple programs, is there anything I can do to fix this, and is Apple working on a fix for it?

Clicking buttons doesn't work in calendar, preview, or updates, and it also doesn't work in fullscreen videos viewed on youtube. Right click seems to work like a left click, but not for everything. Clicking the mouse works in other programs.

1. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
2. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Finder show items in columns an item arrangement selected: Right size this column doesn't works

like the title says, under these condition (note that an item arrangement must be selected) the “right sized” to the maximum width, necessary to display the longest item in the column, doesn't works even with a double click or choosing "Right size this column" option (in both cases the column is set to the default size).
Anyone else experience this issue?

You understand me well, sorry I'm not native English.
Have you selected an item arrangement? if I select "None" it works for me too, the issue is when I select an item arrangement (arrange by Kind for example).
My setting:
Finder > View > Show View Options:
- Always open in column views: SELECTED
- Browse in column view: SELECTED
- Arrange By: Kind
- Sort By: Name
- Text size: 12
- the "three show" SELECTED
Under the above conditions I've the issue, the column isn't resized.

Double-Clicking JPG's doesn't work in PS7

Q. When I double click some image files in Explorer, or select Open With, Photoshop starts but instead of loading the file presents a New Image d/box.
A. XP/Win2k has put in a bad registry key used for opening that kind of file. If you feel *comfortable* editing the registry, you can find the bad key at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command\(Default)
For some reason, sometimes Windows XP creates this key the first time without "%1" at the end. Delete the (Default) entry, go to Windows Explorer, select a file type you want to open in Photoshop, right click, go to Open With, select Choose Program, click Browse (Photoshop won't be in the list after deleting the registry key), select your Photoshop executable, and make sure "Always use..." is checked.
If you do not feel comfortable editing the registry DO NOT DO THIS.
You can work around it by dragging the image onto the Photoshop main window background after Photoshop is opened.

Donald:
How does it look when you double click on it? What color mode is it? Color sRlGB or grayscale?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance. iPhoto doesn't not have to be closed to run it, just idle.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I can't left click to select or right click for menus. This works in IE, what do I need to do to get this to work in firefox?

I don't understand why this doesn't work. My OS is vista. The right click for menus stopped working several months ago, so I have been using IE when I need that. The left click to select stopped working 2 days ago. So now firefox is unusable unless I can figure out why it is doing this.

-> click Firefox button and click Exit
-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
-> Firefox Safe Mode window will open. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode
Check and tell if its working while you are in Safe Mode.

When is the right click print function going to work with Firefox 4

Right click print function quit working when I updated to Firefox 4

Firefox has never had a right-click Print menu item by default. If you had that with an earlier version of Firefox, it was added by an extension that you installed and isn't 4.0 compatible right now.
I have been using this extension for that feature, for many years. - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/printprint-preview/ - It hasn't been updated for Firefox 4.0 versions yet, so I am using this one temporarily to get a Print Preview option in the Contextual Menus. - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ - The Print function is in the Print Preview window. That extension also allows you to edit what is going to be printed, so you can get rid of advertisements, empty multimedia boxes (Firefox won't print Flash or WMP content), and other stuff you don't want on the printed page, to save ink and paper.
That may not be suitable to you as a replacement extension for what you had been using before, but I never print anything from Firefox before using Print Preview. I am tired of wasting ink and paper with Firefox not being able to correctly print web pages that every other web browser can print correctly. If the Print Preview doesn't look correct, I open that page in IE8, Opera11, or Safari 5.0.1 - all of which will print it correctly 99.9% of the time.

Single or double click with thumb doesn't work well on trackpad since upgrade to mountain lion

I'm using a 2009 MacBook Pro recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
The internal AND external trackpad behavior is disappointing compared to Snow Leopard. Neither one seem to register my thumb single or double click unless I do it pretty hard. For instance, selecting a word or double click to select a line.
A single finger works better but it's inconvenient to change years of training.
Sometimes I tap w/ my thumb on a button or link and it works and sometimes and I get no response until I use my finger. It's like the trackpad sensitivity is off. Single tap only half works.
I was really efficient with the old trackpad behavior and my thumb.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm the OP and I'm the one that listed the problem originally. I spent an hour with apple care and the genius level two guy suggested I wipe my whole system. LOL, for a 40MB app, yeah right. The issue with Safari 6 is javascript, according to yahoo javascript is turned off. If you try to change your classic yahoo mail to the newer version it will give you a javascript turned off error. So for whatever reason Safari 6 has javascript turned off even though it is clicked ENABLED in preferences. Crazy. I did find my solution though and that was to dump Safari 6 by giving myself "read and write" permissions and then dumping the safari chache, plist, and preferences files. Then I installed Safari 5.17 by downloading the dmg from the net using PACIFIST. I had complete directions but somebody at apple decided to delete the whole post.
