Question about my mac...?

Question

I just got a macbook and honestly i'm not completely use to it because i have use windows all my life. So my question is how do i right click on a mac i been trying to click here and there but nothing i was hoping someone can help me. I would appreciate very much.

Answer 1

Don't worry, give it a few weeks, and you'll never want to see windows again.

There are several ways to right-click on a macbook:

1. You can hold the ctrl button (between the fn and alt/option buttons) and click.

2. You can go to System Preferences and look under your mouse settings. There is an option there to allow right-clicking by tapping the trackpad with two fingers instead of just one.

I highly recommend the 2nd one.  

Answer 2

I think you only right click to download stuff.

Answer 3

Either hold down control and click, or you can set it up in your system prefs so that if you click with two fingers on a touchpad it will be the same.

Answer 4

two ways to right click... do which ever one is easier....

you can use multitouch gestures on the treckpad...

touch the trackpad with TWO fingers about 1 inch apart, and click the clikcer button - it should right click. - and if it doesnt, go to system preferences and enable these... (for instructions click my link)

there are more shortcuts for this at this site:

also, you can hold down the Ctrl Key and click.

Answer 5

another way is to just plug a mouse wit right and left click into your computer

Answer 6

Double-tap on your trackpad; tap your left finger slightly before you tap your right one.

Answer 7

Ctrl+click
