I'm on a new mac and can't get a picture link - help please

[HEyHEY]

Holding the mouse doesn't seem to do it. Do I press something and hold the mouse?

[NashVegas]

1. right click

and 'view image' (or, 'open link in new window/tab')

[matcom]

2. hahahaha - no right click.....

no ctl c

hahahahahahahahahaha

:shrug: no clue

[NashVegas]

3. oops - that's right

i switched out the mouse

hold the clicker down for a second or two and you'll get a dialog box HeyHey

[eyesroll]

5. Not in all browsers

If he's running Netscape, that should work; forget about it in IE. Don't know about Safari -- I've only used it with a two-button mouse.

6. i'm on Mozilla

and no self-respecting Mac user should be on IE in the first place!

[eyesroll]

9. Well...no...

I'm stuck with it at work, though. We're a publishing house, so we're Mac, but we're OS9 and IE's what's specified -- we're upgrading to OSX this year, though, so I should be able to use Safari, at least.

I use Safari at home, with the aforementioned two-button mouse.

[HEyHEY]

10. I like safari - on OSX right now

11. hahahahah!!! control click = right click on Mac, so now you know!

unless of course you are using a two button mouse such as this delightful logitech wireless one I am using on my Mac. In which case. right click = right click!!!!!!

Now I have given you a clue!

:toast:

4. control-click will pop up a menu

with "open image in new window" in it. Get the picture's URL from that. (BTW: Two-button mice work beautifully on Macs -- I got a little portable USB one for $15.)

7. Hold the control button

click on the image. Of the choices provided, go to open image in new window, copy the URL and then paste that in the body of your message.

Let's see if that works for you.

8. I finally went to Photodump

when I couldn't get Safari or IE to do what Netscape could on system 9++. No "copy image location" menu when I held down the mouse button.

Maybe there is a way - just haven't figured it out yet.

On photodump, copy the file name to plug into these posts.

On edit - will try the new window trick others mentioned.

13. In Safari, control click on picture, choose "save image as. . ."

from the resulting pop-up menu. Be sure you are holding mouse button down on the picture as you hold down the control key.

Works just the same as 9++

OK Have FUN!!!

12. Spend $200 to get a genuine Apple 2 button transparent cobalt blue mouse

Sheesh, can't Steve Jobs realize that a right mouse button is far easier to use than CTRL-mouse, or OPTION-mouse, ort ctrl-option-mouse or ctrl-option-F-mouse, and so on?

:eyes:

[emulatorloo]

14. or get a logitech optical 2 button mouse for 14.00

Mine works great, and the Mac drivers are great.

"Sheesh" Hypno, why does your bargain hunting sense go out the window whenever you talk about Macs? :)

P.S. there is no $200 Apple Mouse from Steve Jobs :eyes:

P.S.S. I think you already know that :party:

15. Mac user checking in here who prefers one button mousing and

modifier keys. All the modifier keys are done with the left hand, and the execution is done with the right. It works just fine, and having used both systems I prefer it to two (or more) button mice.
