Right click with two fingers won't work on MacBook

Hello Ethereal_,

Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to use a specific two finger feature of your trackpad on your MacBook Pro. You can figure out if unexpected behavior is related to a user file or setting by trying to reproduce the issue from another user account. This process includes creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.

Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

Log in to your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.

Thanks for replying, Ethereal_, and that additional info, it really helps! To help isolate this, try running First Aid on your hard drive with the built in Disk Utility tool, as this can correct issues like you're experiencing.
