    Well, you can right click if you have a two button mouse.
    Options are:
    OPTION - Click to direct save
    or
    Ctrl Click, to see options.

    ok, so you can hold option while click to save it or hold ctrl while you click it to open the option menu.

    yes just press the option button when you click it easy.

    you know when i first got my mac i used to feel like i had two left hands. now i can't work any other way. you'll find things a little daunting at first mate but just stick with it. you wont regret it :)

    :lol: I had a go of my house mates MAC a while back, I had to google how to right click. As much as I can't stand apple, I have to hand it to them, the Imac is a nice thing to use.

    The bundled 'mighty mouse' with the iMac *looks* like a one-button mouse, but it will actually right click.. it's a bit shady though, so you may find you have to lift your left finger a little to get it to work reliably.

    Also, make sure you have the right button switched on under System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse :;

    I thought that was the case, but was not sure, and couldn't find where I had read that from.

    welcome Clarkmana to the boards, good to see your first post was a very helpful one. Hope you enjoy your stay.

    Apple do make nice computers but I have major issue with their pricing.....off-the-shelf parts in a nice case with a custom OS TBH....
