Right-Click on a Mac
There is no right button on an Apple (Mac) mouse. Press and hold the Command ⌘ key while clicking the mouse button to emulate right-click. If you are using a Windows keyboard, hold the CTRL button while clicking the mouse button.
If you have tried holding Command/CTRL and clicking the mouse button with no effect, check that your System Settings allow right-click in all applications:
Mac Desktop
– Open System Preferences, then Keyboard & Mouse
– Select Mouse tab
– Set the the right mouse button to Secondary Button
MacBook
– Open System Preferences, then Keyboard & Mouse
– Select Trackpad tab
– Check the box for Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click
– Once this option is activated, place two fingers on the trackpad and then click the mouse button to right-click
How can I do this for a MacBook Air. I can’t figure it out…I’ve tried all options.
Hi Emily, please email us at techsupport@herinteractive.com. We can help figure this out. 🙂
Hey Emily, any word on the issue? I can right click occasionally but I can’t rotate anything! It’s driving me crazy!!
Hello, I have the same problem rotating puzzle pieces on MacBook Air. Please help.
Hello R Sollid, would you please email us at techsupport@herinteractive.com with this issue? Thank you!
Hi! I cannot rotate puzzles using the right click option on my macbook pro. I have tried using “control” and then clicking, and I have tried using the two finger click. No luck! Get back to me when you can please! Thanks so much.
Hi Lydia! If two-finger tapping on your trackpad isn’t working, have you included dragging as well? I know it’s a silly question, but there are also only a few scenes in Midnight in Salem (the inspection mode for objects) that require this. Perhaps try an external mouse?
I have a Mac book air and I can’t figure out how to rotate the key to the desk
Hi Lexi! Did the instructions here not help? I personally recommend getting an external mouse, but it you need additional guidance, please email us at techsupport@herinteractive.com with what you have tried so far. Thanks!
I am having the same issue, and it’s not even the turning the key, that is the problem, but I can’t look around other than using the arrows! Help
Hi Amy! Have you also tried the external mouse to see if that helps?
