For as long as anybody can remember, the Mac mouse has had one button and the PC mouse has had two. Why? Apple presumably felt that a one-button mouse was simpler and more efficient, and nearly every other hardware manufacturer thought that more functionality could be crammed into additional mouse buttons.

Click the right corner of your Apple mouse, or click with two fingers on your Apple trackpad. You can change this in Mouse preferences and Trackpad preferences. Scroll, swipe, click.

Battle of the buttons? A standard two-button mouse and the Apple ADB Mouse II.
That is, until Apple released the Magic Mouse - a mouse with four programmable buttons. This was a major milestone for Apple and Mac users everywhere, but truth be told, the Mac OS supported right-clicking for years before that - even back in the days of Mac OS 9! If you have a Mac, you need to know how to right-click whether you have a two-button mouse or not. We’ll show you how.
What Can Right-Clicking Do For Me?
If you have a Mac, and you haven’t been right-clicking, you’ve been missing out on a lot of cool functionality. There are loads of options in the “contextual menus” - menus that appear when you right-click - that you just can’t find anywhere else. Here are some examples:
When you’re typing an email message in Apple’s Mail application and you misspell a word, Mail underlines it in red to indicate that it thinks it’s misspelled. But how do you correct it? When you right-click on the misspelled word, Mail provides correct spelling suggestions. Simply select one of the correct spellings to substitute.
If you’ve found a file on the Internet that you want to save to your Mac, you can right-click on the link to save it.
There are lots of shortcuts hidden in the Desktop contextual menu. For example, if you’d like to change your desktop, all you have to do is right-click on the Desktop and select Change Desktop Background.
How to Do It
The easiest way to right-click is to hold down the ctrl key before you click your mouse button. This works on any Mac!
But holding down the ctrl key gets old, especially when you’re an old-hand at right-clicking. If you’re serious about right-clicking, you’ll need to get a mouse with more than one mouse button. All of Apple’s new desktop computers (except the Mac mini) ship with the Mighty Mouse. To configure the right mouse button on the Mighty Mouse, select System Preferences from the Apple menu, and then select Keyboard & Mouse. Select the Mouse tab.
Make sure the right mouse button is set as the Secondary Button, as seen in the screenshot above. If you don’t have Apple’s Mighty Mouse, you can always pick up an inexpensive, two-button USB mouse at your local electronics store. Kensington’s Mouse-in-a-Box comes with a 5 year warranty and costs a mere $8.
For Apple Laptop Owners
If you own a Macbook or Macbook Pro, you can configure your trackpad for right-clicking. (Some older iBooks and Powerbooks also provide this feature.) Simply open the Trackpad options in System Preferences and make sure the Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click button is checked.
After checking this box, you’ll be able to right-click by placing two fingers on the trackpad and clicking. If you have an older Apple portable which doesn’t support this feature, you may want to look into iScroll2, a free application that may add this functionality to your trackpad.
No matter how you decide to right-click, you should definitely start doing it on a regular basis. It’ll save you a lot of time!

It’s been almost two years since Sling Media, the makers of the Slingbox place-shifting video device, announced that they intended to make a Mac version. I caught my first glimpse of the SlingPlayer software running on a Mac in early 2006 at Macworld Expo. But although Sling Media said they were targeting spring 2006 for arrival of their Mac player, the release of Intel Macs slowed the pace.
It wasn’t until July of last year that Sling announced its private Mac Beta program, a program that began in earnest late last summer. And around about Halloween, the first public beta of SlingPlayer for Mac arrived. And while I danced a jig at its arrival, it was most definitely the product of a company that knew a lot more about Windows than about the Mac.
That initial version was a faithful port of the Windows version of SlingPlayer. Last spring I bought a Slingbox in anticipation of the Mac software’s arrival, and then spent many months watching baseball games on Windows PCs and, later, on my Mac via Parallels Desktop. The beta Mac player, when it arrived, looked much the same as the PC player I’d been using, right down to the Windows-style window controls in the menu bar. In short, it worked, but it wasn’t pretty.
Monday, the final version of SlingPlayer for Mac was released, and users of the beta version will realize that it’s a radically different product from the most recent public beta.
For the past couple of months I’ve been testing this new, remixed (yet still “1.0”) version of SlingPlayer for Mac. The behind-the-scenes skinny is, Sling Media hired some people who previously were Apple engineers, people with deep knowledge about how a Mac-native application should behave. Here’s a clue for the clueless — big “X” icons on your windows do not a good Mac interface make.
In any event, the infusion of ex-Apple talent is evident throughout the SlingPlayer interface. If you’re not familiar with Slingbox, it’s a hardware device that lets you watch whatever is on your home TV set from anywhere else in the world, so long as you’ve got an Internet connection. So for example, this weekend I was able to watch the local broadcast of a San Francisco Giants baseball game this weekend while at my in-laws’ house in Los Angeles.

The new SlingPlayer interface will be familiar, as it should be: it resembles the QuickTime Player, with a large play/stop button and a volume slider. The Remote palette, which lets you control your home DVR and other devices, has a transparent floating appearance similar to palettes in iLife and Final Cut Pro. Even the Preferences window has been reworked to behave like you’d expect from Mac software. (Also new in this version: support for more devices, including the Apple TV.)

I’ve really enjoyed using my Slingbox, and the final version of the Mac player is a pleasure to use. Stay tuned for a full review in a little while, after I’ve had more time to put the new SlingPlayer and SlingBox Pro through their paces.
