Hi I have a MacBook and I can't seem to right click on it. It has one long bar and only left clicks wherever I press on it. Any ideas?
Thanks

I don't have a Mac but do know there is no right click on Macs- but does this help at all?

It is on Ethel's link but short version, hold ctrl whilst clicking
A few options:

1) Ctrl click (note:ctrl, not cmd button with apple logo)

2) Buy a mouse with more than one button on it -- it'll be recognised immediately

3) Go into System Preferences, Mouse settings, and tick the box to allow a two-finger gestured click. This is the best way if you don't have a mouse, since you can use two fingers on the trackpad (like you do to scroll), and then click the mouse button to get a right-click action.
