Secondary click isn't working!

I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013 and the secondary click, even though enabled on the trackpad system preferences, isn't working.
Anyone who has been dealing with the same problem or has any idea how to solve it? The only way how to make it work seems to me by pressing ctrl+click, which has turned out be quite annoying everytime I need it...
Thanks!

I'm appreciating this discussion. I've been on 10.7.5 for several months (late adopter) and only started having Mighty Mouse problems a couple of days ago.
Like Dave, my Wacom tablet is working just fine. (Well, it got a little erratic yesterday--lost its sense of orientation and I thought I might need to recalibrate--but I rebooted the system and it got its brains back.)
The Mighty Mouse, however, continues to only respond reliably to the left click.
I did have more problems. The scroll would only work sometimes, and then only down page (not up again)--"trackball cleaning" (unplugging and rolling it around on paper) seemed not to produce results but did fix that problem.
The right click is still a nothing, and I need it. I've checked all settings under both "mouse" and "universal access." (Wacom pen right-clicks great, as usual. Good thing I have multiple input devices.)
I'm downloading the Overdrive software, and if that doesn't work I may go get a Logitech mouse.

    Since I`ve downloaded Lion, the secondary click does not work, I can´t even select it on the trackpad window

    More details needed.
    Are you using an Apple mouse or a 3rd party mouse? Can you enable it in System Preferences > Mouse? Can you Control + click and get the menu like you would when you use secondary click?

  • Mighty Mouse secondary click no longer working with Yosemite on Mac Mini

    After upgrading my early 2009 Mac mini to Yosemite, my Apple Magic mouse no longer recognizes the secondary click when I set it. Any solutions?

    Try adjusting the "Double-Click Speed" in the Mouse Preference.
    If you naturally click slow, try a slower setting. If you naturally click fast, try a faster setting.

  • Audigy 2 Platinum - secondary section isn't work

    I've just put my Audigy 2 Platinum into a new system, an XP Professional SP2 computer. Everything seems to be fine except that the secondary section doesn't work at all. I'm referring to the part that is at the front of the system case and offers more connections - MIDI, phono, /4 jack out, optical, mic in, firewire, and so on.
    These connections do not even appear in the Mixer. Or in Device Manager, when it used to be called something like "Audigy Platinum - secondary". It's as if the computer has no idea that the secondary section is there.
    All worked fine in my previous PC that was also XP Pro SP2. Is the Audigy broken?

  • Secondary click no longer works after the update, how do i fix it?

    macbook pro with apples usb mouse. track pad still works fine.

    hmmm...so it might be the mouse. If you live near an Apple Store I would bring in the MacBook Pro and see if seconday click works with one of their store mice to help determine if it is the mouse or the software.

  • MacBook Pro Trackpad Secondary Click not working properly - switching apps

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" (new Core 2 Duo) with 10.4.8. On my main account, when I try and use the trackpad's two-finger-click to perform the secondary click functionality, I have a problem where instead of showing the secondary menu (same as control-click) it instead shows me the application switch screen (same as you see when entering command-tab).
    I logged in under a new user account and enabled secondary click and it works properly -- so this appears to be either a conflict/issue in a plist (though I deleted the plist for mouse and keyboard and the issue still remains) or possibly with some other application/utility that is installed.
    Without recreating my world one-by-one, any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Brian

    Update on the situation:
    1) Reboot in Safe Mode (shift-key down at start-up) -- secondary click still shows the application switcher.
    2) Ran Onyx -- Execute the defaults (no others) in the Automation tab and after rebooting the issue still persists.
    3) I removed the Microsoft drivers from my system and all plist files -- and reinstalled the MS drivers. On first use of the right-button on the mouse, I got the same "secondary click" response that I get with the trackpad. Before the uninstall it had worked correctly. I remember looking at the MS Mouse config options and it showed the right button performing a control-click. Now, with the preferences at their defaults from the software removal and reinstallation, I see there is an option -- and it is the default option, that the right-mouse button performs a "secondary click".
    So it isn't a trackpad or mouse issue, it is an issue that somehow the default system behavior for a secondary click has been changed from displaying the alternate menu to showing the application switcher.
    So the question is, what application or utility changed that? I was evaluating the Apple Mighty Mouse a few months ago and decided against it -- the right sensor seemed to fail often. Did that have an option to modify the secondary-click? I have Google and searched for tersm like ["secondary click" setting change modification hack, etc] and haven't seen any mention of that ability -- but clearly on my machine under my main user account, this is happening.
    I hope that helps get one step closer.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problems with the secondary click after updating to 10.7.4

    Hi there,
    since my update to 10.7.4 on my MacBook Air I have a problem with the secondary click. I configured it to "click on right side", but some times and espacially after wake-up my MBA the secondary click is not working. So I have to switch to the System Preferences and remove the hook at secondary click and set it again. Than everything is working again.
    Has some one the same problem or even know how to solve this?
    Thanks

    I have had the issue with a Snow Leopard but never with Lion.
    Can you go to System Preferences>Displays>Color and select your profile.
    I had made 3 profiles and they are all still there and my iMac is still using the same one I previously selected

  • No secondary click on Vista

    i had the same problem as well but i just use an external mouse // i dont really use windoze other than to convert my WMA music collection to MP3 or to tether my windoze mobile phone as the bluetooth PAN dont work in OSX so im not really bothered by it // did u try 2 finger click instead of 2 finger touch for a right click? /// have yo ran all software updates for windoze itself and the apple software update on vista as there are two updates you can run.

  • Secondary click not working

    Hi, since I updated to Lion I can not enable the secondary click on the Track Pad on system preferences. Does any body know how can I fix this?

    Thanks for replying!
    I think we all are using our trackpad (at least I do).
    I try to explain (sry, but I'm german and so is the setting-language)
    Here I selected the secondary-click! It even shows the wrong explain-video on the right! (look at the second picture)
    It does not work! And after closing the window and reopen it, the secondary-click is not selected anymore! It still shows the wrong video by the way.
