May seem silly but turned pc off & on again?

I work in IT so I always suggest that first.

But if the right click works in other applications ok I've no idea.

I'm on ver 5 so obviously haven't had this problem.

Have Adobe advertised a solution or admitted there's a known fault?

LR had this problem way back if I remember rightly, can't remember now if it was something to do with process handles? can't remember the fix (if there was one)

Do Macs now have a right click?

Apart from the CTRL and click?

Make sure that secondary clock is enabled in your preferences.

Open system preferences.
Click on mouse.
Tick secondary click.

Yes, but it's probably not enabled.

Think I have solved the issue, for some reason you can turn off this right click. I have just gone into the system preferences icon which is the geared icon on the dock and found the mouse preference and ticked the box so i could use the right click, simple hey. must never of been ticked from the start. live and learn.

Secondary click is off by default in OS X. In many apps, you can press and hold the button to emulate a right click - try it on a dock icon to see what I mean.

If you are using the Mighty Mouse, in the system preference there is an
extended panel for it where some applications may be added or left out
of it's functions.

May be LR has some options of its own in its preferences.
