Newbie struggling to right click...

...Hi,

Apologies for being a doughnut, but how does one right click on a Mac mouse?

Thank you,

Carole.

Hi and Welcome,

If you are referring to a Magic mouse then as there is only one button, it knows whether ( Its clever little devil) you want a right click but only if it senses a single finger on the right of the mouse. Anything else is considered a primary click.

But if you are referring to the Mac trackpad then you set this up via system preferences - trackpad - point and click - second option - secondary click. (As my screen shot)

But it should be pre set so just gently tap the pad with two closed fingers and you should then get a drop down menu ( Its clever little devil to ). Hope this helps.

and ensure its enabled in System Preferences > Mouse
