Safari 2.0.4 Ctrl-Click not working

Hi,
I have searched and searched for an answer for this, but no luck so far.
I'm on 10.4.10 with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). Somehow, I've lost the ability to ctrl-click on a link in Safari, doing it does nothing. The status bar at the bottom of the window says "Display a menu for <URL>", but the menu very doggedly does not display...
This happened weeks and weeks ago, and I've been searching for an answer to no avail. Today I was on another Mac and opened Safari and tried ctrl-clicking on a link and I got the expected menu. I love it when it works.
I have just tried swapping the Preview plugin for the Adobe reader plugin, and that didn't help...
Does any body have any ideas what might be wrong?
Many thanks,
bk

Hi
Back to my earlier suggestions in this order:
Reapply the 10.4.10 Combo Update. Do not use the computer while the Update is running. After the restart, "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Start Safari.
If no change, then I suggest reinstalling Safari 2.0.4. Here's how to do it:
Have a look at this Apple article for installing other software, including Safari, from the Tiger DVD - see the section titled More custom reinstallation options with Mac OS X 10.4.
Other Steps
Move the Safari.pkg file in the HD>Library>Receipts folder to the trash.
As a precaution, prior to reinstalling Safari, move your Safari folder, found via the Finder in your Home Folder>Library to the Desktop. It has your bookmarks, history etc. Once the reinstall is completed, move the folder back to its original location writing over the newly created folder.
Remember too, the version of Safari you install will be specific to the Version on your installer DVD. Therefore, run Software Update and see if Safari updates appear. If not, reapply the 10.4.10 combined update to bring Safari up to the current version.
"Repair Permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when you are finished.

  • Aspx menus and click not working

    It's hard to explain the problem, but this site will demonstrate what I mean: http://ic4uae.ae/Default.aspx
    as show in the picture, when I hover on "shop by department", a menu should appear, but its not!
    when I click on "sign in" a log-in window should appear, but its not!
    all the clicks not working in such sites!
    this problem is not browser-related, I've tried many of them.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • 2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

    I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
    Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything.  I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way.  The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
    I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
    I tried deleting  com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist   and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
    Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

    I started having the same issue after update.  I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
    ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working.  Two days later problem was back.  I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working.  Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep.  I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click.  Please help. I can not use the Mac  with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working.  One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works.  Help!

  • Why double click not working ?

    if the system have wizip/winrar installed...does it block to run executable jar whence they are doble-clicked ?
    because when i doble-click on the executable jar file....it opens up in the winrar...it displays all the directory structure in the jar file.....but it never executes.
    i have a jar in c:\
    and i can run this way....
    C:\>java -jar psae.jar Philip
    Hello World Philip
    why double click not working ?

    This is because winzip or winrar has taken over the
    Windows association with files of type .jar.
    Assuming XP.YES.....its windows XP.
    Click on the tools menu in any explorer window,
    select "folder options" and choose the "file type"
    tab. i tried that also earlier....anyway, here again one more time
    please look at
    http://img107.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nojar7ah.jpg
    There is NO .JAR file association i find in that list.
    you need to change the associaton of 'jar' to
    "Opens with Java"

  • Magic Trackpad's One Finger "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window?

    Magic Trackpad's *One Finger* "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window:
    All of my iMac's accounts have *One Finger* "Tap to Click" turned on (checked) in System Preferences. However, in the Login Window where the user decides which account to login to, the Magic Trackpad's clicking ability does not work even though moving the arrow does work. How do I turn on the Magic Trackpad's ability to click in the Login Window?

    After accidentally pressing down on the Magic Trackpad, I realized the trackpad has tactile feedback, that is, it is a big button that can be pressed down and pop back up like old computer mice. Though this will allow the trackpad to select the account I want to open in the Login Window, it still doesn't explain why "tap to click" isn't working in the Login Window. Nevertheless, my question can be considered as answered.

  • Ctrl and left click not working in DW CS5

    When Im working in design view for some reason my links are not working when I press ctrl and left click. To make them work I have to right click and select follow link.
    Its not a major problem because I can still carry on, but its annoying!

    I presume you're talking about Live View, because links don't work in Design view.
    One thing you can try is selecting View > Live View Options > Follow Links Continuously, or select the option from the Live View Options menu in the Browser Navigation toolbar.
    It works only for the current tab, but is useful if you're following a lot of links.

  • Ctrl+Right Click not working

    Hi all,
    I am using EP version 6.4 and ESS/MSS 100 SP 22. Backend system is ECC 5.0 and SAP-HR/EA-HR SP75.
    I am unable to do end user personalization in the portal iviews. Ctrl+Right Click is not working. Any idea whether this works on this version or not?

    Webdynpro Personalization is a feature available from EP 7.0.

  • Safari in reader copy short cut not working

    When in reader mode, the short cut for copy does not work, why? If pressed the singal tone for wrong sounds.
    Anyone else experinting this problem?
    mac os lion, upgrade from Lion Safari 5.1

    I'm also having this problem - don't know why unfortunately. It looks like most of the 'edit' menu is now greyed out when Reader is activated - very annoying. Fortunately you can still copy by using ctrl-click/right-click.

  • CTRL+HOME, CTRL+END not working correctly

    I'm trying to use the CTRL+HOME and CTRL+END key combinations on my HP Spectre 13-3010dx. Unforturnately, when I press the combinations, they are not taking me to the beginning/end of a document in MS Word, nor the beginning/end of an Excel spreadsheet. Instead they are moving the cursor one character to the left or one character to the right respectively. It's as if the CTRL key is being ignored.
    Any help with this would be appreciated.

    jsnFloida,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    You may have discovered the answer by now -- Whether the keys work is tied to your Num Lock setup.
    Solution:  Disable the Num Lock key so your other keys on the Key Pad work as required
    Many of our new keyboards lack the nice little light that indicates whether the Num Lock is enabled.  This is annoying to say the least.
    Your Windows key is the key down near the bottom left of your keyboard -- it looks like a Window Pane.
    ==================================================​=========================
    Windows key + U (Opens Ease of Access) > Make the keyboard easier to Use >
    Under section Make it easier to type
    Select (Check) Turn on Toggle Keys
    and
    Select (Check) Turn on Toggle Keys by holding down the NUM LOCK key for 5 seconds
    Click Apply
    Toggle keys setting:
    A "high" tone sounds = the NUM LOCK key is disabled.
    A "low" tone sounds = the NUM LOCK key is enabled.
    Example:
    Click the NUM LOCK key, hear the low tone, and think to yourself,
    "Ah, tone down low, down page = Page Down"
    When the Num Lock key is disabled, the other keys work -- like your Page Down, Cntrl-Home and Cntrl-End keys.
    This also switches on the Caps key tones.

  • Safari/Youtube/iTunes/App Store All Not Working

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 3GS and today all of the software that required the use of the internet just stopped working.
    Safari, YouTube, iTunes, and the AppStore all do not work. I click on one of these four icons, it pops up for about five seconds, then it goes right back to the home screen.
    I tried shutting off my phone. Didn't work.
    I tried reconnecting it to iTunes itself. Didn't work.
    I reset my network connections. Didn't work.
    I erased my History, Cache, and Cookies. All that did was make it so that when I click on Safari, my Bookmarks come up. The internet still doesn't work.
    A friend of mine has a theory that these "apps" aren't working because of the snow/rain/ice storm I'm currently in the middle of and that once it blows over, my internet should work again.
    My WiFi and 3G work.
    I'd like to avoid resetting my phone to it's orginal settings if that's possible.
    My most recent update is the 4.2.1 update.
    To any and all who can help or offer some suggestions, thank you very much.

    Thank you for your help though.
    You tried resetting all settings on the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings?
    There is no reset in iTunes, are you stating that you did a restore? If you did a restore, did you restore as a new device or from your backup?
    What you describe sounds like an issue in the settings of your device. If you have not already, restore as a new device.

  • Ctrl key not working properly

    Hi,
    I have an HP Pavilion 17-e031sa Notebook PC purchased only 2-weeks ago and running Windows 8.  The ctrl key is not working as it should.  I would typically use it together with the left mouse key to highlight non-consecutive items for copying, but it will not work for this function.  It doesn't seem to be the key itself as it does work in the alt/ctrl/del combination.  I have tried uninstalling the keyboard driver and rebooting, but without success.  Any help would be appreciated.
    This question was solved.

    Hi riggy69,
    Sorry for the confusion, I knew those hotkeys wouldn't do the function you were looking for. I wanted to know if those shortcuts worked using the Ctrl key. This way we can see if it that particular function is working or all the ctrl key shortcuts are working. Did any hotkeys do what they were supposed to do? For example, does Ctrl+X cut the selected text or does Ctrl-Esc open the start menu?
    Trying to see if there is something wrong with the key itself or is someone is wrong with that particular function you are trying.
