    I'm having a little trouble with my new macbook, a feature of this computer is that right-clicking can be done by having a finger on the trackpad and then tapping with another finger - for me this feature is not working, and I really would like to find out why!!

    Tap trackpad with two fingers for secondary click is enabled in systems preferences.

    I've searched the web, but found nothing of any use :(

    Can anybody help me please?! :)

    go to system preferences, click 'keyboard and mouse'. select the 'trackpad' tab. in the section called 'trackpad gestures, check the oxes marked 'use two fingers to scroll' and 'tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click'

    and there ya go! the two finger right click!

    Thanks preilly79, but as i mentioned above I've already enabled those features and it still doesn't work! Anyone else have any ideas?

    you have to be fairly definite with your two finger tap. Put them down together making sure they both hit the trackpad at the same time. I thought it wasn't working at first either but I just did it slowly at first before I got used to it. I dunno if that helps at all...
