I am unable to Copy and paste with the mouse

I just upgraded my OS to 10.13.1 and now I am unable to copy and paste by clicking the mouse. What do I need to do in order to get this working again?

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)

Good afternoon nrunk,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

If you've recently updated your Mac to the latest version of macOS High Sierra, and your mouse is no longer responding, here are a few things to try:

  • Restart your iMac.
  • Restart your mouse. (If wired, check cable connection). If USB, unplug and plug in again. If Bluetooth, turn of Bluetooth and pair again.
  • Check Mouse settings in System Preferences - make sure secondary click is enabled to see a contextual menu.

If your Apple wireless mouse, keyboard, or trackpad isn‘t working as expected
Take care.
