Right mouse button not working

Works everywhere else

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
any ideas?

Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based. Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

[SOLVED] [Gnome 3] Move/resize with alt+mouse button not working

Hi,
Anyone have any ideas why I can't move or resize windows in Gnome 3 with the alt key + mouse button?
From what I've read it should be possible to do this in Gnome 3, or have they removed it?
The alt key works fine for other tasks, like alt+f4. By looking at xev the keyboard seems to generate a correct alt key as well:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 74162047, (-380,478), root:(2169,522),
state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Both the middle and the right mouse button works fine for other stuff, like pasting and opening menus.
Anyone have any ideas?

I suffer the same problems. metacity is already installed. Any idea what else I might look for?
And did it reactivate Alt+right-click to resize?
For geoffm and anyone who stumbles across this, as per http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … dows-again, you used to be able to use the gconf editor, but now it's (from the command line)
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences resize-with-right-button true
This nearly did my head in back when it changed.. now I just have to find out how to change the behaviour that seems to have cropped up in latest gnome 3.10 update, where you have to click the _left_ mouse button to finish/stop the resize.. Quite annoying

Left mouse button not working and can't access hidden dock

This is really weird and just started happening in the past few week or so. My mouse pointer moves and I'm able to select menus and pull down menus with the right button but the left button does not do anything. Also, I have my dock hidden. When I move the mouse pointer towards the bottom of the screen the dock does not appear.
If I reset the Mac Mini everything goes back to normal again until the next time it happens. I have tried swapping to different mouse and the same thing happens. The weird thing is that if I connect to my MacMini from another computer using Remote Desktop (Screen Sharing) the right mouse buttons function properly from the remote Mac. This allows me to properly restart the MacMini. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Aleric,
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.

Right Mouse Click not working. Despite trying everything including reinstalling TB I can't get it to work on my Desk Top - works on my Laptop?

I have tried reconfiguring my mouse including downloading up to date drivers. The frustrating part is it works fine on laptop

Hmm- you're right. I've run software update and the app store and it hasn't come up.. so I thought I was up to date (not to mention I just got the laptop a few days ago... and assumed it was updated). I'll try that. Thanks

Mouse buttons not working correctly

For several days now, my mighty mouse (another does the same thing) is frequently acting with left button like I am holding down option key to select a group, when it should just select a single item (ie, it grabs a group). I can use escape button or right button to stop this, but hard to manage it when working in email, or any area to select. This happens in any program I use. Right button works correctly.
During times that this is occurring, activating the dock will cause the animation to last a couple seconds to bring the dock to top of window.
I have reinstalled with archive, have gone back to another hd with 10.4.11 on it, and it keeps happening. When I reboot, I am coming up in safe boot, and have to do PRAM zap to get it to start in regular mode. What the heck gives?

if you open your home folder, do you see a "Library" folder? if it's hidden, spotlight won't find it.
You can try from the Finder menu at the top, there is a "Go" menu. Select "Go to folder..." and type:
Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/
(where <your user name> is your user accout name, for example "Users/dianne/Library/Preferences/")
within this folder now open, you will have files starting with "com.apple.driver...."
one or more of those should say "mouse"
delete those.

My mouse buttons not working correctly

I have my mouse set up to open dashboard with the center button, and spaces with the side buttons and it suddenly stopped working. I have checked it through preferences and it is still set up correctly. My husband and I split the computer into two users and it still works when he's logged onto his side, so I know the mouse isn't broken. Any ideas?

Using right mouse button as secondary button

I have just received a replacement Apple wired mighty mouse because I couldn't get the right mouse button to work as a Secondary button. However, I have exactly the same problem with the new mouse!
I am using the latest update to OS X 10.4.8, with the latest firmware in my Intel Mac Mini.
Strangely enough, if I reverse the buttons, i.e. set the right button to Primary, and the left button to Secondary, the Secondary button works fine. In all cases both buttons work fine as Primary buttons. Any ideas why the right button won't work as a secondary please? Has anybody else had this problem?

Doh! Thank you, thank you. After two replacement mice and many calls to Apple technical supprt, you have found the problem in two minutes It's a little strange having to wave the left finger about in the air while using the right button though - not a very ergonomic design.

i think it's worth trying to remove all input related stuff from xorg.conf, enable hotplugging with a /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.AlwaysCore" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapTime" type="string">180</merge>

How do i get the secundaire mouse button to work in XP

Hi,
under windows i cant get my right-mouse button to work via trackpad. it will simply just click the left one (primairie).
im aware that scrolling and tapping doesn't work, but right mouse click should work right?
gr,
Dion
EDIT: sorry i figured it out, i was to quick posting this topic can be locked now.

You need two fingers on the trackpad before clicking to activate the right click. The button is essentially a single click no matter how left or how right you click.

DV6-2177 Right Mouse Button (touchpad) not working.

I've got a dv6-2177, 3 months old and the right mouse button isn't working. When I right click, there is no context menu that shows up. I've reloaded the pointing device drivers but it doesn't solve the problem. Any external mouse that I connect will work fine but the built in right button is useless.
Any idea what the problem is?

I have the same issue. It has been driving me nuts for months. I have tried everything, and done a LOT of research. The left click brings on the context menu on the desktop and in a few other instances. The right click does not work AT ALL... even if you try to set it up as a tap-a-touch feature (so it is not the hardware), and also the windows lose focus, until you hit the start menu key, or control alt delete, if it is being really stubborn. I have an HP G7... only 6 months old. HP or Synaptic needs to fix this!! It makes my laptop almost useless and definitely frustrating to use!!

Mouse right button not working

Hai i am shebeer.. i updated my mac os x 10.4.7 to 10.4.11 after updation my right button not working . please help me to solve this problem...

So far we're just trying to narrow the problem down, so it looks like it's not likely an OS problem, not impossible but not too awful likely.
Do you have another Mouse to try?
Can you try this Mouse on another Computer?
In System Preferences>Mouse & Keyboard, you might try changing the Primary Button to the Right one to see if the Right Button works as a
Left button, +but the problem+ with that is that I really don't know what you'd do *if you have no Button at all* then!

When I right click on an Item to copy and pasdte it the Copyt button on my mouse does not work with firefox, it works everywhere else...I highlight an item andt

I have tried all the solutions so far. they did not change the outcome. My right mouse will not show the copy command. I am getting the drop down menu when I right click and I can highlight words but when I right click to copy and paste the copy does not work... it was working fine until I did the last update for foxfire.. I have 22.0 version

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

The multi level "isolation mode" don't work after the last upgrading to Illustrator CC 18.1.0? by the right mouse button menu

PROVA

Yes, I know that, but I ever work with the right mouse button,
because selecting groups and subgroups with double click make some confusion for me.

My right click is not working. the context menu does not come up and i can no longer drag files/folders. I have checked the mouse and track pad in system preferences and the correct boxes are all checked (with a support member). Please can you help

My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
Please can you help with this.
It has only just happened in the last few days.
Many thanks

You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
(Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).
